This is the anti-state people. Do you know what ROTARY does? You are the creation of the DEVIL himself, for, the evil in you is bottomless. You want job to do? Did your father and mother consult the government before they brought you out on condition that you'd be given a job? You are a disgrace to your teachers who wasted their time on you. Where is the brain that they developed? Supposing you were the President of the Unemployed Graduates Association and two weeks later you get a job, are you going to abandon your post? That shows the fallacy of such an association of non-thinkers!!!! If you continue to chastise the good people of our dear country, hoping those of your political stock are the only human beings living in Ghana, the curses on you will be quadrupled!! YOU ARE A SHUALESS BEING.

For Ghana to join any policy that introduces a common ECOWAS currency, would be as detrimental to us like our first president's pursuit of pan-Africanism.

A common currency for all of the West African economies has a nice ring to it, but it is not as economically feasible as it sounds.

I say this because of the vast disparities between the economies of the West African nations.

Granted a common currency has the potential of shoring up economic activities among neighboring nations.

However, potential does not always translate into a reality. Once again, I point to the disappointment of pan-Africanism to underscore this claim.

Africans are not as homogeneous as the other races would like us to think.

We vary from country to country in every aspect of political, and socio-economic integration. The sheer differences in the size and production of our natural resources suggest that Ghana will be at the short end of the stick of a common currency.

Currently the only common threads that run between the budget of Ghana and that of the other West African nations is the massive dependency on aid, and debt. But this is going change in Ghana very shortly. We have the capacity to change. We don't yet have the savvy leadership in Ghana to set the right tone.

The question therefore becomes when the foreign aid, and the massive easy money dry out, and a country like Gambia, -- with minimal desirable natural resources falters:

Who will bail out Gambia to shore-up the common currency?

Under the policy of a common currency, the country that stands to lose the most from the decline of the value of the currency is obligated, -- for its own good.

It is not going to be the Nigerians, -- although they stand to gain more from a common currency.

It is not going to be any of the French-speaking countries, -- given their patrimonial relationship with France; they can break away anytime the going gets tough, and the French will be obligated to run to their rescue.

The bail out responsibilities under undesirable circumstance would fall on Ghana. And if we are not able to produce a substantial bail out, the alliance will fall apart. And we shall have to start all over, -- just like how the failure of pan-Africanism set us back socio-economically.

We must not make the mistake to think that, a common currency will give us an open market for our goods.

Africans are not that loyal.

If they cannot even patronize their own governments and respective cultural differences:

How on earth can we expect them to buy our manufactured goods?

If they can afford to buy foreign goods from China, USA, and France;
they would not buy our low quality goods.

Instead of wasting our time under false illusions that a common currency will rejuvenate our economy, we must rather focus on making every aspect of our economy as competitive as any other economy in the world.

We can do this only when we realize that, the prosperity of Ghana and the survival of its people depend on us.

We have been down this road of African integration before, -- under our first president -- and it set us back.

We must learn from our past mistakes: less we consider ourselves fools and suckers.

We cannot continue making the same mistakes over and over; and hope to get better results. Only fools do that. It does not make us progressive.

It sends the message that we are suckers for Africa.

It's one thing being brotherly, and it's another thing being a sucker.

I urge Ghanaians to choose wisely.

May Lord Almighty continue to bless our beloved Great Ghana:
Amen!!!
