Upon all Sampson foolishness we still blame Delilah that is how the world is people always put blame on one other, even it was in existence when Adam sinned he blamed God for given him Eve, Eve also blamed God for creating the snake and the snake should also blamed who? If your parents are fools does that means that you are a fool? Only black Africans I repeat only black Africans won't learn sense from the past so always fooling themselves why am I saying so? Since the time immemorial black Africans has been victimized to Europeans sinister but still never learn sense and always following their ways, from slavery to colonization, genocide, tribal wars, etc are there to teach us lessons.
J.E. Kwegir Aggrey said something about African, I quote: “My people of Africa, we were created in the image of God, but men have made us think we sare chickens, and still we think we are, but we are Eagles. Don't content with the food for chickens! Stretch forth your wings and fly!" J.E Kwegir Aggrey was speaking to Africans and for that matter Ghanaians as well, he was speaking as one who have vision for his people, he was speaking as one who knew the westerners way of thinking about Africans but yet still we encomium them we still called them our friends but in their minds they see us as their worst enemies.
Kwegir Aggrey said that Ghanaians and Africans as a whole, don’t content with the food for chickens because we are not chickens but rather humans created by YHWH, and my question is are we not content with the food for chickens? The answer is big yes with capital (B), if we are content with the food for chickens, then it means we as people of Africa and Ghana to be precise are chickens yes with capital (Y), why should it happened upon all our resource we are still chickens to the Europeans? After they abolished the slave trade they replaced it with colonization and after independence, they introduce war, upon all those mishaps and, the chaos they have caused in Africa the continent cannot rise on its own so African leaders seek something called foreign AID from western countries and remember, if the Devil promise to give you 10 percent of something, there are two things involve either he will demand 20 percent from you or you will succumb to his decisions so anything he tells you, you will do it or you give out your property and this is what is going in Africa or Ghana.
This is how the world market is about, in the world market the more you destroy your opponent the more your things are been purchase on high prices ever since the Europeans came in contact with black Africans they have found many ways to tarnish their image, example is the Evolution of Charles Darwin and his bogus scientist propounded, the idea behind the evolution simple means black people are not humans they are less evolved, so they started publishing books that can destroy the image of Africans, the more they tried to tarnish our image the more YHWH intervene for us. In their various meetings they planned how to destroy black people but our God is God who never allowed their plans to succeeded in Akan language they called Him Onyankr)pong, in Ewe language they called Him Mawu, in Ga language they called Him Attaanyomo is true that our ancestors knew God, so God also never allowed their evil purpose to succeeded. These entire unscrupulous acts happened when you and I were not born, how it is reflecting in our lives today? The evolution theory led to something called race and racism came out of race, racism is the last weapon to defeat the blacks, but this time they are not doing it alone but have got support from the east, the reason been that the east who never came to contact with Africans copied everything from the west and have lied about it and are saying that is their history now you see how the trend is going, so whom to trust east or west?
At times I asked myself so many question concerning black Africans upon all what these people are doing to us we still follow them, we still trade with them, upon all what they did and what they’re doing to us, another question also popped my mind why African leaders perform poorly when they elected as president, ministers, mps etc, African leaders steals the nation money and deposited in western countries, why they don’t care about their citizens? The new slavery system has taken over in our modern era, in this era is not about selling your follow human being to them, but selling your conscience to them. Then if modern slavery is about selling one conscience to the westerners then it means many Africa leaders have sold their conscience to them? Apparently yes. What I’m saying it takes critical thinkers and nature incliners to understand and know that am speaking the truth. Now Africans leaders have sold their conscience to the westerners, so the leaders are enemies to their citizens, so now Ghanaians or Africans are still slaves to west through their leaders. They have set our leaders as billboard but in reality they are still operating their slavery system and at this time with our prominent people of which some people consider them as literate in our society, that is why in my early written I stated that Ghana education is pseudo education with pseudo intellectuals it will be hard for any educational elites in Ghana to identify this if am lying.
Someone will tell me that, what I’m saying is rhetoric because there is no evidence. In United State of America system of government if you’re a governor and you refused to go by some secret society in USA constitution then definitely you will be assassinate example is J.F. Kennedy, if you want more information read this book, THE SECRET TERRORIST, the Author of the book name is BILL HUGHS. These people have the upper hand in all the biggest institution in the world talking of IMF, WORLD BANK, etc the one and the only governor who never succumbed to their decision is Kwame Nkrumah but he too was a power drunk. So immediately the poor citizens elect their leaders from then, the leaders becomes enemy to them by taking them back to slavery but at time is a conscience slavery or I called it slavery by conscience, poor citizens is not your fault to elect people to lead you as a nation but the fact is those leaders are slaves to their western masters so they take advice from their masters more than their citizens, they serve in the interest of their master but not the interest of their citizens.
When one becomes president in Africa and he/she is going for loan this is what they asked him/her are you going to use our constitution to rule? because they are slaves already they agree to them and after collecting it they begin to sell out the nation assets to them and devalue some valuable things in the nation, some of our leaders sold some nation assets to the Europeans for them to have power again in our nation, some of them devalued the education system, the currency etc on what grounds can Africa country buy a national assets in western countries? But when you come to Ghana you see the western countries buying our national assets oh what a moron country with moron people, anyone who doesn’t believe in slave trade, this form of slave trade is there for you to see. Now in the olden day’s slavery, they were selling humans but at this time our billboard leaders are selling the national assets and have devalued our valuable things such as our education system and our currency. The back bone of any country is education; any countries which have good education system develops so as it currency as an economic factor, now how can we say about Ghana? Poor education system and poor currency oh Ghana why? Now the nation is financially handicap and the leaders have filled their tummy with the national money corruption has become a canker among our leaders.
Condoleezza Rice, US general secretary in former President Bush administration once attended AU meeting and addressed our leaders not to trust east or west because they are coming for their own interest but not the interest of Africa, but what do we see because our puppet or billboard leaders have sold their conscience to them they still follow them, no wonder we are still slaves. We are still slaves my brothers and sisters, let’s not deceived ourselves that we are in the 21st century so everything has changed, it’s still going on, our national assets are been sold to them now they have say in our affairs oh God have mercy on poor Africa Ghana, you’re not in chains so you think is not true but it is happening day in and day out right in front of your nose. When our leaders come as president ministers and mps, they only think about themselves and how to sell a nation asset to their master. How can a president after looting and sold the national assets through dubious means and upon all the money he looted still demanding for an ex-gracias? How a president can kill some people because they have some little amount of money in their accounts and also have borrowed money from the bank and this same president sold national assets to his wife, looted the state, devalued our educational system and then sent his children to school in abroad? How a president can increased his salary 100% and are paying huge amount of judgment debts to some people? How a president can devalue our currency, sold national assets and sent away his follow Africans to their country? So you see the list can go on and on without endless, they all puppet or billboard leaders who are serving and were served the interest of the west by sending us to slavery.
No matter how you will vote for NPP or NDC they are all puppet or billboard leaders whose aim is to send us to slavery so citizens be careful don’t let these people ideologies entice you to fall a victim they have done and have succeeded. So why are you worry about these stomachticians who called themselves politicians whiles we can kick them off? So why are you worry about our puppet or billboard leaders while we can kick them off? I try to let my people understand the reality of 1800 theory from Charles Darwin, it fresh in their memory and when copy east who also copied read it, is the same thing but the victimization is upon my people back the more foolish they become oh God save your people. Now let’s answer the few questions are we not chickens? We are because we are getting AID, second hand clothes, fake things etc. I do not hate east or west neither do I hate Africans but the truth is the truth, stand for the truth always stand alone. Stay tune with me, more things are coming to explode your mind. E-mail wellsbrains2000@yahoo.com, whatsapp 008613566124757

The pattern of NDC is to brush aside expert ideas on education but go ahead and announce the existence of ghost universities. UDS, Volta and BA universities are some of the products of such hasty government decisions. They do this to make succeeding government to suffer in getting facilities and staff to run them. If this is what goes on, how can we produce quality graduates to take up the developmental challenges we face in the country? This is NDC for you.

You're right about that my brother !
The reason is that,the NDC administration is not developing Ghana.NDC do things that would be nice in the eyes of the people to build or promote their party.Everything NDC does is based on strategic propaganda. That is the reason why they make announcement of Universities and other projects here and there,whilst they know very well that,we don't have the money to build even the infrastructure of those Universities in the first place, the Lectures to teach,and the money to pay for the Salaries & Wages of lectures and support Staff.
The reasons is found in the way the people think.Ghanaians had wrong values of things.
We always want to See with our eyes a particular projects that the ruling party build.And not prudent economic policies that would create growth,empower the people, macro economics,and enabling atmosphere to do business,fiscal policy etc etc
to move the Country forward. Therefore,a party like the NDC without economic plans of nation building is easily swayed by those illiterate and outdated ideas of economic assessment.
So,if some of us advocate for the revolution in the minds of Ghanaians,that's one of the reasons.To change the idea we look and see things with our eyes only.But with the eyes, mind,living standards and affordability or purchasing power.
"If wishes were horses beggars would ride"

Onipaba, I don't think this is particular issue with NDC, rather Ghana's general administrative structure must be looked at. Unfortunately, Prof Yankah did not say what actually the problems of Central University are regarding the health sciences programmes they want to introduce and, also, we have not listened to the government about what they really want CUC to satisfy before they can start such programmes. I trust that for example, private universities entering into health sciences programmes which I think is new and a bit complicated area for private universities to 'jump' into, maybe the government would want to ensure that the right conditions are met by which maybe over the years the nation has still not prepared the grounds ready in place. Let's say gov't needs to know how existing health and education legislature will be affected and either to amend or pass new ones, nature and enlargement of monitoring structures, CUC's record and credibility in that field, medical hospital for training, etc. I don't think we should politicise every issue and just blame gov't. What actually is the problem in CUC's case? Did Prof Yankah say it? Also, is appalling for Prof Yankah to insult existing Allied Health Sciences colleges as empty just because of the challenges of CUC. Because that would be absolute indictment on his reputation, in that, he Prof Yankah has held a key position in the University of Ghana and therefore he is part of the 'mess' he may be insulting.

That is the part of Prof's speech I also felt is corrupted and should not have come from a professor. In any case the two universities he referred to are of different ages, and have different course lists so there is no basis to compare them.
Again the University of Allied Sciences is not the only public university and can't be solely accused of waking up from a dream and implementing courses that featured in a dream. Why not compare to UG,UCC or University of Natural Resources in BA.
Yankah has other motives for saying that. He must profess unity and avoid tribal sentiments

Go to Indian, some people drive taxis with PHDs and Masters Degree just like Ghana but people in advance countries don't use their degrees in that way, why, because they don't chew and pour, and also, their education through academic research is tailored to meet changing challenges. I remember learning 'ship building in Japan' in secondary school whiles the teacher for the topic did not know even Tema habour. If our academicians were really up to task, these politicians would have been good enough to run the country because the politicians are products of the academicians.

“…You have state-owned universities with no experience (really?), no lecturers, nothing; they just dream of a course and implement it”, I thought Yankah taught at Legon for several years, if not decades. Perhaps, he finds himself with some private university who wants to use him to embellish some of the things they do. I agree with him that private universities should be encouraged to offer courses that they are capable of delivering. However, government also has the responsibility of ensuring that this is done with some rectitude and not just as a business venture. Yankah, will probably win sympathy from some of us if he can tone down his outrageous criticisms that make public universities look outmoded and useless. Oh, and he was a product of the "have-nothing" university.

World renowned institutions are all privately and religiously owned. Talk about Earvard univewrsity in the US, Conneal, Howard, Princeton, Strasborne, GWU, GowrgeTown - are Catholic scholls, American Universit - methodist school. Professor Yankah is right. The only way Ghana can develop is to allow Ghanaian and private/public participation in the colleges and universities. NDC has failed us and Mahama is businessly lining his pocket for tomrrow. If you like what Kwesi is saying vote NDC out come 2016. They are a failed rigeme and do not deserve to be called a governement. Its a regime and are not there for a United Ghana. NDC is now a tribal party. Lets give CPP a chance Meman Ghana. NDC is no different from NPP. Lets try CPP and Samia Nkrumah. Another Nkrumah will fix Ghana for the better. They are rogues. Learn from Mandela, Ghanaian politicians. Mahama is richer than Mandela, Kufour is richer than Mandela and so is Rawlings. Nkrumah died without a property in his name and Mahama wants to claim Nkrumah who emplyed his father was not the Founder of Ghana. John mahama, you can not rewrite history.

Naturally well said, therefre there is the need to sit down with government of the day and discuss of the interest and progress of the private tertiary institutions, since they form part of our national educational system.
All we need at the moment is to realise the importance and the relevance of our private ones.
University's realities depend on teachers/professors who are well prepared to give their best to the students.
It should be the responsibilty of any government to cooperate happily with the educational institutions in the nation since the fact is that the growth of our nation will surely rest on the quality of education found in it.
Here, it is a fact that we all get onboard to help solve this situation which can undermine our development.
I appeal to the sitting government and any government of the future to coperate in the area of science with the private university colleges so that we shall catch up with development in these areas of science and technology which in real sense is a sine qua non to national development.

It is rather suppose to be a collaboration between industry and the universities. Ultimately in a market oriented economy the private universities are expected to par take the government ones and propel the country forward since private business are the engine of growth so if the prof's goal is to dwell on govt then they are not going to do well.

Does he only want tax payers' money to advance a mission that reflects a limited perspective of a religion entity, rather than the democratic principles of non discrimination regarding religion, gender and ethnicity which shapes the public institutions? Gvt money means gvt involvement so long as it does not affect academic freedom. Mr Otabils' school is shaped according to his religious principles. The tuition is shaped to generate profit; the teaching reflects certain positions. With gvt money, you would have to reconstitute the mission and even the council of trustees, etc.

private means precisely that, private. therefore in principle gov. is not under obligation to provide any kind of support, be it financial or otherwise to such institutions. by the same token, government should not be a hindrance in the curriculum development efforts of such institutions. its about quality so what government should do is lay down the guidelines and standards and let the privates do the implementation. too much micromanaging the educational sector is the problem. take a look at our boarding schools. students are still going to school with chop boxes. why in the 21st century. no new infrastructure is put in.

Yes, Prof Yankah, I agree with you that, "science courses particularly within the private sector, need to be funded and subsidised by government because they move in the direction of the State’s strategic interest”.
I also propose that govt must subsidize all petty traders, builders of public toilets, kenkey and fish sellers, waakye sellers and roast plantain sellers because "they move in the direction of the State’s strategic interest” as well.
You are just another befuddled academic with nothing to think about.

This idiot used to be a former pro-VC of Legon. “What does the University of Allied Health Sciences has that we don’t have?” To begin, The Allied does not have a stupid leadership who would speak as if his brains are frozen. It is that clear.After retiring from Legon and whilst still collecting pension (public money you have gone to private univ just to double dip. Pension for the public and then salary from a private school. Happy day to spend to speak none- sense.

Any stupid person can stand up today and call himself a professor, courtesy some courses he read at some university in the usa; yet they are completely incapable of even constructive criticism! Why wont people like okoampa ahoofe consider themselves "knowledgeable people"? All these professors are a disgrace to formal education: what benefit has their PhDs brought this nation? This man should go run his school and stop bothering our ears with their usual nonsense!

We all educated ourselves in Ghana but I find different from here with our edu back home is that it is all about cppaf(chew pour pass and forget)here is more about critical thinking and trouble shoot.We need to reform our edu.if not we can not expect anything new from our Engineers,Docs,Agric.etc.We have to accept the fact that good edu is not cheap but rather capital intensive.

The quote, "what does the University of Allied Health has" is clearly not my Prof's. But Prof. tone down a little. No need to mention names. You can spoil your case.

That is the part of Prof's speech I also felt is corrupted and should not have come from a professor. In any case the two universities he referred to are of different ages, and have different course lists so there is no basis ...

When i was a student in Agric faculty in Legon in 1986, i thought Prof Yankah was a prof in Legon, a state-owned university with no experience! How long was he in Legon? With Prof Atta Mills and Pros Asoku etc. Surprised!

Many students admitted into the private universities obtained poor grades at the SHS level. Instead of rewriting they prefer to pay huge fees at the private universities due to their own laziness. Hahaaaa
It is an open secret that only those who could not make it into the serious state Universities that get admitted into the private universities. Employers are smart to detect that, so do not blame anybody.
Check out who lectures at UHAS and compare that with yours. I hear your pro-vc is miss Joyce Aryee who has only a 1st degree and a phony honorary doctorate degree. In any case, if I were govt, I will establish, accredit and s ...
