Every civilized person in this world
can be afraid of a thief, arm rober,a
murderer and diabolical idiot which
Tsikata is one, that is why we have
Police whose duty it is to protect us
from Tsikata and his NDC bunch of criminals and that is why prison is
built so that we can quarantine all
those criminals. Tsikata must be
sent to quarantine and be forced to
stay out from the community, it is
because of that we the civilized citizenry are scared of Tsikata not
for any other reason. OK!! check it out...

its unlikely there will be a runoff rather the issue will be settled either by upholding the decision of the ec or will go straight out and award the presidency to npp. either way there can be no peace and we should expect war since it has less to do with rigging of elections rather hegemony chauvinism , authoritarian govt , ethnocentrism and tribalism camouflaged by ideology and corruption. its a do or die situation and anyone who is naive enough to think there will be no showdown after the ruling is a fool . the president is also supposed to be the commander in chief which means if he doesnt have the guts and brains to plan and execute a war effort he should not be running for president . anyone can steal power but how many can truely lead into prosperity ? jj the son of an uncircumcised rouge after over 20 years did nothing but put the economy back into the middle ages and thats a fact despite his so called eloquence in bullshiting us with ideologies he himself understood not.this ndc corrupt incompetent govt is just occupying space and wasting our time , its time to think war as they will not go away without the use of force . long live the republic of Akan

Kwasi Pratt talks too much. You are trying to turn yourself into a home champion, we entreat you to travel outside the country and lead a crusade for change. Even in the face of massive looting of state resources, corruption, nepotism, robberies, bad economic management, etc, you still see this Incompetent government as clean. Billions spent on tree planting has vanished into thin air with stupid excuse and worse of all, billions said to have been spent on Guinea fowl (nkomfem) can't be accounted for , with the senseless explaination that, they flew away to neighboring Burkina Faso. What have you said so far about these? So long as your Fante confederation is intact, you're okay with it. Go see a dentist with some of your loot and give us a break!!!

Pratt is absolutely correct with his critic about African leaders including our own past and present leaders except Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, whom I salute with deep respect in this respect! May Osagyfo rest in peace. Our current leadership in African are corrupt and cares very little or not at all of the national interest. And so, in the midst plenty Ghanaians are still hungry and poor! Africa indeed need leadership that will look inward for the solution to their problems. Economically Africa is still colonized and until we deliberately liberate ourselves, Our state could poorer than we see! Until Ghana and africa begin to use their human and natural resources to their own advantaged, we shall forever remain colonized!

My friend if you are waiting to build strong institutions, you will never ever get there. Apparently you also soaked up the imperialist nonsense that the American coconut (Obama) came to evangelize here to a standing ovation by our monkeys in parliament.

What we need here are strong leaders in Africa, leaders who with or without strong institutions, will be able to counteract the unending subterfuge of our development by the Western imperialist countries. They know that strong leaders are the greatest threat to their greedy exploitation of African resources that is why they have continued to undermine, eliminate or kill all our nationalist leaders. You remember what the great Bob marley said in his Redemption song? " ......How long shall they kill our prophets, whilst we stand by and look ...."

You say "The process of change is on course." Oh! really? Where? What I see is that through the manipulation of our pro-imperialist patented institutions, we are gradually and steadily being driven into total and abject subjectivity to the point of pure slavery.

I would also be very grateful if you can explain to all how we can possibly get true and genuine leaders by the comedy of western type elections that we hold here.

Finally even if Kwesi Pratt is also part of the problem for propping up imperialist stooges - a fact which I agree with, that does not mean that the truth he is quoted as saying above should be ignored.

NOT ONLY DO WE LACK THE MACHINERY AND TECHNOLOGICAL KNOW-HOW TO EXTRACT THE RESOURCES BUT OUR LEADERS ARE STUPID. QUITE RECENTLY, A MINISTER SAID A 3 BILLION DOLLAR LOAN FROM CHINA WILL "ARRIVE SOON". THE QUESTION I ASKED MYSELF IS WHAT IS THE LOAN FOR, WHAT IS THE COST OF THAT CAPITAL, AND WHAT IS THE RATE OF RETURN,THAT THE COUNTRY HOPE TO EARN FROM SUCH LOAN. IT SEEMS OUR LEADERS HAVE NO VISION AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RUN A PUBLIC RESTROOM LET ALONE A GOV'T. JUST THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE THE JUDICIARY HAS DONE, CONNIVING WITH COMPANIES FOR JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. ALL THAT MONEY COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO BUILD FACTORIES TO TURN THE RAW MATERIALS INTO FINISHED PRODUCTS, TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT AND ALSO A STRONG EXPORT SECTOR. THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE CAPITALIST BUT CORRUPT LEADERS WHO HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SOLVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

Kwesi Pratt, your writing makes sense to the highest degree . You have called a spade a spade and this is what many a people don't like. 'The truth to be told' There is not anything in your write-up that is not true. It was Maumar Gaddaffi of blssed memory who tried to spearhead Africa by opening our eyes to prosperity but these Africa stooges, I mean the head of States stood by unconcerned for 'Almighty' America and its allies to use their cunning tricks to finish him up. At the time, the so called O.A.U or what do they call that funny organisation which exist only in theory, and which does not know its purpose, I mean the A.U., stood by for our ONLY true and well-meaning leader to be slaughtered like a sheep by the West. Our leaders should bow down their heads in shame because they are even worse than the 'stooges' Kwesi Pratt is talking about. Kwesi, keep writing your good gospel, for, 'those who have ears will hear!'

NPP the grand Party of insults and name calling. These uncouth behavior does't stop with the downtrodden alone but even with the elites of the party.

Most people in that party did not grow up with their fathers at home so, had no proper training in their infancy. Insults are normal for them because of waywardness.

We have learnt before you'er elevated to any tangible position in NPP you must undergo insults training from the pioneers before you'er given that position.

It's pathetic to be in such a party of Ashanti/Akyem tribal hooligans.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

PRATT, all those African leaders you discuss here have got their mouths full, just like you were stuffed by the Atta-Mills NDC.

Kwesi Pratt, you threw your weight behind JJ one of the most corrupt leaders we have had and here you are spewing garbage as if you just descended from Mars.

The problem facing Africa, rests on our shoulders because in the long run, it is one of us who will get the chance to lead and why can't we eschew those attitudes contributing to our being stooges to the West or whatever?

This hypocrite bores me to death with his holier-than-thou attitude. Do you know where he went to talk about Nana Addo's supposedly smoking problems. He went to American Embassy. Not only that, when it comes to education, he sent his daughter to Britain to be trained as a lawyer and not in Soviet or Cuba and yet, this socialist will not let our ears rest with his anti-West propaganda.

May be what we need is a government that will criminalize "SOLI"- money given to journalists to appear on FM radios with their jaundiced analysis.

PLEASE, YOU ARE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT IN YOUR ARGUMENT BUT, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT-

NO MATTER HOW MUCH NATURAL RESOURCES A NATION IS ENDOWED WITH, SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ELUSIVE IF, HUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITY IS NOT ADEQUATELY BUILT TO EXPLOIT THE NATURAL RESOURCES INTO PROCESSED COMMODITIES FOR VITAL SERVICES IN THE COUNTRY.

BEFORE WE CAN RISE TO THE OCCASION OF SELF SÚFFICIENCY AND SELF RELIANCE, WE HAVE TO BUILD A NEW GHANA ESSENTIAL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT SCIENCE IS NOT JUST A SUBJECT OF STUDY BUT SOMETHING WHICH OPENS THE DOOR TO UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES FOR NEW DISCOVERIES, CURIOUSITY, CREATIVITY, INDIVIDUAL ENDEAVOUR AND HARD WORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTRY.

MOBLE PHONES ALONE CANNOT TRANSFORM A NATION.

OUR SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE GHANA'S ECONOMY AND THE MOST IMPORTANT, IS HOW GHANA CREATES PRIMARILY INDUSTRIES TO STRENGHEN THE ECONOMY.

HERE OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND THE EDUCATED WITH BIG TITLES OBTAINED AT HOME AND ABROAD HAVE TO BE PRESSURED TO DELIVER IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO SIMULATE ECONOMIC GROWTH,JOB CREATION(MANUFFACTURING),GENERATE INCOME, CONSUMER SPENDING AND BETTER STANDARDS OF LIVING AND TO ALLEVIATE EXTREME POVERTY IN THE COUNTRY.

THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE FOR THE NATION; IF WE ONLY CONTINUE TO BE PRODUCER OF OF RAW MATERIALS FOR LOW EXPORT PRICES AND POLITICS AS PREOCCUPATION IN THE COUNTRY.

IT IS TIME FOR THE UNIVERSITIES WHO HAVE SHOULD BE TRANSMITTERS OF KNOWLEDHGE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE EDUCAZTED ARE PRESUURED ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ABILITIES TO DELIVER IN THE PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE COUNTRY.

SUCCESS OF OUR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SURVIVAL LIES IN PERFORMANCE AND COMPETENCE OF THE EDUCATED AND TRAINED GHANAIANS AND NOT JUST TO BOAST WITH THEIR TITLES FOR NON-PRODUCTIVE WORK IN THE GHANA.

PLEASE, CAN YOU ANSWER ME THESE QUESTIONS-

WHY DO WE GO TO SCHOOL, WHY DO WE LEARN AND WHY ARE WE EDUCATED.

THINK ABOUT THESE SERIOUS QUESTIONS.

WE CANNOT GET AHEAD-FALLING BEHIND IN THE 21st CENTURY.

There is a point in time it becomes irresponsible to blame western civilized nations for our mess and that time came in 1966 for Ghana. People who have read some of my comments and hated my guts for calling it like I see it do know my beef has always been with our so-called educated and political elite.
Let’s look at Kufour's 8year legacy not through the eyes of party politics or tribal zealotry that shows no sign of abating. A so-called Oxford educated Kufour deemed it British schooled wise to sell off Ghana's entire telecommunications infrastructure because of poor management. He also forced the demise of Ghana airways while he continued the sale of government lands and the erection of a presidential palace that should be an insult to any Ghanaian with a degree/diploma in architecture. If this is the best we get in our educated class we cannot then blame civilized nations for taken what educated fools offer them in return for the pennies they have to pay. Why do we include in the retirement packages of presidents, some free airplane rides around the globe? Has Kufour learned anything of value or does he still negotiate to sell more of our resources like our oil? We are brain dead and that is our downfall.
The desire to collect meaningless degrees that we cannot apply in Africa but for which our uneducated and under-educated public see as basis to shower respect on degree holders continue to allow stupidity to reign in Ghana and elsewhere on the continent of Africa. Look here if governors of individual states could join together to form the United States, Africans could do the same to ensure resource sharing and collective power at any global forum We chose to pooh-pooh these ideas and ideals. The desire for our elementary intellect bunch to be masters of meaningless countries where everyone carries a tin cup waiting on manna from the civilized world to give us sustenance means more to our leaders than allow wisdom to reign supreme.

Of course dopey! The educated elite of Ghana is part of the problem. What pinches me between my legs is why you cannot seem to understand that the colonial legacy of an imperialist education is all part of the plot to educate the African in such a way as to keep Africans stupid and dumb - like you.

The worse part of your idiocy is in referring to people who enslaved millions of human beings, and who continue to this day to hold on to colonies and Dominions, and who are responsible for the current blood-bath and mass genocide of millions of Iraqi, Libyan and Afghan citizens amongst others as "civilized nations and world". Go and ask those whom you idolize as "civilized" where and what happened to the native north and south Indians of America as well as the Aborigines of Australia. You damned fool!

Even Kufuor who you abundantly and rightly criticize, is a few light years ahead of your crass stupidity. At least he saw it fit to change the name of the Presidential Palace from an imperialist appendage to a more fitting name.

Your simplistic solutions - if one may refer to them as such, of African leaders agreeing to join together to form a United Africa betrays your lack of common sense and proper education.

If you had any cultured sense of appreciation of the arts and culture of Africa, you wouldnt describe the beautiful edifice that is called the Presidential palace as an insult. Whether you like the NPP or not, it is by all or any standards an architectural master-piece. Or is it because it is not built like the way your civilized nations would have it thatyou dont like it? This is typical NDC skin-pain.

Finally, next time you contribute, break down your clumsy logic and English into paragraphs to make for easy reading. Even the little imperialist education that was pumped into you didnt help you much, did it? Isnt it so very true that a little learning is dangerous.

WHY CONTINUE TO EDUCATE YOUR CITIZENS ON THE SAME EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM LEFT BEHIND BY THE DEPARTING BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN 1957.

YOU NEED TO BLAME YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING SMART AND INTELLIGENT.

It is only the warped-minded nincompoop who would kick against such a wise counsel as this. Mr. Pratt all you written is true and I pray that it will circulate in most of Africa's Print Media. If all Ghanaians had supported Rawlings in 1979,perhaps our country would have been in gloryland by now. Unfortunately those scoundrels of Western trained intellectuals, the likes of the NPP's scuttled every effort of his. A very, very big shame.

I will give you only one reason, we don't learn because Africans say God did not create us to do things like White. Wrong and wrong. We don't learn anything sitting on our butt for white to do everything for us. Spend Big big money to seriuosly train people in all fields.Not one year or two years. Ten years traiing. I know what I am saying. White will not give without gaining anything. One worked in an Airplane all the practical works were done by white. Black people were in classroom drawing the plan and showing all the parts. Black man I saw was from India who was directly working in the plane's engine. India spend money to train their people in all fields including air planes. I need to talk more. We look down upon ourselves. We have the same brain as white. Challenge!!!!!!!!! but why? No white will cook for you any more but spend money for white to show you how to cook.They take our products cheap polish them and sell them back to us expensive. we can't we can't we will stay at the bottom and be cheated always.

You always talk like an idiot and uncivilized person! You blame somebody for the woes of Africa, what about you. How much did you pay when you were taken to South Africa? If you are vetted today, we will see that you are also part of the problem and woes. If you think you are the best you can stand as a presidential candidate and vie for the position and come rescue Ghana and don`t be an arm chair critics, stupid Kwasi!

Rothschilds Banking Dynasty plus the rockefellers control the whole of Europe and American politicians. Thge European politicians control African politicians through loans, UN, World bank etc.

For a brave African leader to stand against the west they must be willing to die and sacrifice their lives for doing good because they are going to get assasainated by FBI and CIA who have money to buy the minds of some peeor desparate Ghanaian to kill any politician who stand in the way of the ruthless Europeans exploiting Africa.

We need to educate the ordinary African and trigger political activism to awaken the conscience of the sleep walking Africans/Ghanaians.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR AFRICANS/GHANAIANS TO RISE AGAINST THEIR GOVERNMENTS WHO PUPPETS AND STOOGES.

Africa need leaders that will think of their country first before anything else
There is no selfless leader in Africa They are all filled with greediness.They care less about the people they rule
The only ruler who has come to being patriotic and selfless is late Gen Murtala Mohammed of Nigeria. But the greedy ons surrounding him did not make him last Come to think of it Is it because he rule for a short time?
Jerry John Rawlings and the Boakye Gyanstage in 1979 was near being selfess but for the secound coming of Rawlings nothing good can be write home about
Had he not been propelled by selfishness he would not have stayed when the ban on party politics was lifted
Cameroon Central Africa and even South Africa of late is characterised by greediness and dancing to the tune of those who have helped them to be on top
How can we get selfless leaders like the Western world have enjoyed
I think all politicians must be schooled again especially in the fear of God
Politicians in Africa does not fear God. Perhaps they have never learnt about the confession of King Nebuchanezzer

Mr Pratt's position goes to emphasise an age long problem, the MENTAL BANKRUPTCY OF THE AFRICAN. This phenomenon is the bane of the continent. European adventurism in Africa has permanently crippled the continent such that we are firmly anchored in the dark ages with no clear signs of us ever leaving this debilitating stage of human development.The stages of reformation, renaissance and the industrial revolution which liberated Europe from the clutches of poverty, hunger and disease is not even on the horizon on the continent. Every aspect of life in africa is locked in a neo-colonial casket, the educational system which mis-educates us, the political system which works for capitalist interests,the non availability of science education, scientific research, technology and technical innovation the core strategies for engendering a revolution in any human developmental effort makes africa a joke.Africa definitely needs a new breed of leaders with a high level of consciousness, imbued with a sense of science education, scientific research,and technical innovation to africans the needed ideas and technique to embark on meaningful development

Pratt: African leaders are stooges
