    Foreign aid and slavery are the same. Begging for foreign aid is dehumanising, wrong and must be stopped now. Encourage long term investment rather than go tourig with cup in hand. there is no pride in that.

  • James B. Otafregya 11 years ago

    Why should Ghana go to France to borrow whne France has officially allowed gays to marry - the first gay couple marrying today?

    We should be careful that they do not attach any gay marriage conditions to the aid/loan.
