Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

Mass,you can't not industralize when your education system is unproductive.our education system is still have the same colonial structures.The education system is structured to produce administrators but nothing else.Sometimes l find it very disturbing that our polythecnics,technical colleges and that of university of science and technology have finally been turn into commercial schools and have deviated from the core reasons why they were set up,how are these schools going to produce the technicians,technologist,scientist and engineers that we urgently need to industralize.We all know from statistics and history that all those industralized countries did focus and persistantly invested in technical and research based education but the black man have not learnt nothing and still making mistakes in this area as we speak.Well, people might say you could equipe all the schools with state of the art infastructure and when those tools break down the school goes down with it.But there are alot of innovative ways to solve this responsibility and competency problem.l don't see any wrong if a tertiary institution in Ghana could partner with Botsch,samsung,hitachi, ect to name a few to equip their laboritaries and workshops with high tech machines and tools probably every 5 years then pay for those equipments from the tutions they get from their stuents,education is a business and should be runned as such if these schools have competent administrators.l think pastor otabil is right,we are all bunch of jokers.You can't industralize just attracting foreign investors only,thats the short cut most of our elites in government are thinking instead of focusing long term on how to change the old colonial structures which have stagnate the african not to think and innovate and be self reliance on his or her own given talents which is abundance in us but yet not used to it limit.

The industrial revolution Africa needs should not be the type that relies on polluting fossil fuels. Dear Dr. Amos, your organization must depend on market forces that drive a large-shift toward a low-carbon economy.
The type of industrial revolution we surely need is one that would discourage Carbon dioxide emissions and propel our continent to speedier adoption of alternative technologies.
That is why some of us are calling for the reform of our education system to reflect STEMIC curricula - Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Innovations, Communications from primary to tertiary.

The ENTIRE 'carbon hoax' is a political campaign foisted by socialists, liberals and people who choose to recite unorthodox, and unethical, science to promote their 'one world - global' agenda.
In 2014 - the best and least expensive energy is nuclear; next is crude oil (incorrectly labeled 'fossil fuel) and then coal.
ANYTHING else is an environmentalists' wet-dream.

I was originally not going to spend a nanosecond of my time to respond to your anti-environmental diatribe, then something told me that people like you who deny ecology, biodiversity, climate change, environmental management, carbon emission, etc. need to be awakened before you drown in your right wing vomit.
Len, for your information, climate change is not a hoax foisted by liberals and unethical scientists to " promote their one-world global agenda" - gosh ! that sounds like a ditto from Rush Limbaugh.
Top objective climatologists from around the world have written eloquently to prove that the burning of anything that contains Carbon emits greenhouse gases, and it is these GHG's that is causing climate change and variability. Please read up on it, this is not the place to explain the whole phenomenon to a denial like you.

Marcus, I don't 'read up on climate science' - I study it and write up on it.
Your activist agenda was lost more than five years ago - and you don't even know it.
The entire climate change argument was a political 'chip' in the game - without a scintilla of verifiable, documentable and demonstrable data, evidence or example.
There was never any real science involved - just fabricated 'possibilities', conjecture, opinions and corrupted conclusions.
Your passion is being wasted on human idiocy, liberal politics and government largesse.
I will ask YOU a very personal and insensitive question - who is paying you to think this way?

If you were a reader or know your history, you would have come across the history of the industrial revolution that it started in England and was propelled by burning of coal which was readily available in the midlands of Britain. This happened in the1750's, and ever since then we
humans have been adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere anytime we use fossil fuel which is what coal is basically.
When you made mention of nuclear energy I just lol and wondered if you really know what you were talking about. With all our problems of our lack of a matainance culture, how are you going to maintain your nuclear reactors ?
When you get a chance go and observe the Tema oil refinery and see how obsolescence has set it. I can go on and on, but I need to go catch up on my reading. My passion is in reading. Right now I am reading Al Gore' s
The Future - Six Drivers Of Global Change.
A fascinating book. I highly reccomend it.
Nice interacting with you. We can agree to disagree with respect and dignity.

Ghana needs an industrial revolution wherein the private sector generates enough revenue wherein the 'industry' has more money than the government.
The only way that can happen is to have reliable and inexpensive energy - LOTS of energy; highway, rail and air transportation and the corrupt government to stay out of the way.
Ghana could become one of the wealthiest countries EVER - but the GoG will an obstacle.

I urge the organizers of this all important conference to not lose confidence in our continent by the look of our fragile economy. Our economy can do better and stand on its feet with persistence good economic and industrial revolution. Its long over due. Africa must take its rightful economic place in the world and that is only achievable through the sweat of indigenous Africans. However, the need to conscientize Africans to patronize Africa goods and governments to pass legislation to cut the importation of goods that will compete with made in Africa product. This will be a long walk to Africa industrial freedom, but is achievable with perseverance. Our prayers are behind the conference for a success. God Bless Ghana and the rest of Africa.
