gbevlo was a gentleman with skills not suited for such an office. he was an ideal choice under knowledgeable mills but with brainless selfish mahama totally incompatible. the security of the land has so deteriorated in just less a few years to his none action in upholding the law . due to his misplaced loyalty he has allowed together with the bni chief yaw donkor the corruption to thrive and now its blown out of control. in protecting the constitution and upholding the rule of law we would have been assured of peace now we can only prepare for war and bloody civil uprising . everywhere you go from armed robbers in the street to universities people are already taking the law into their own hands and doing as they please without fear of the long arm of justice . ndc has forever destroyed the unity of the nation with their anti Akan agenda and the northern and ewe tribalism based on hatred . the facts are there only a fool will live in hope that this situation can be fixed with a reshuffle or a change of govt with or without elections . its over so prepare for the worst. the negative selection and caliber of the ministers is so poor they will not be able to face up to the challenges and things will surely fall apart

This is the main reason why the three regions in the North are less developed. Their own people steal the scanty resources meant for the development of the place.

The Professor will take light years and cannot still fathom the retrogressive and destructive mentality of the northern elite.The northern elite and invariably the northern politician is fixated with an extremely poisonous and selfish mentality of seeing their fellow northerners suffer.They enjoy their poverty stricken people trooping to their homes to beg for alms.Most at times they never get they very little assistance they asked for even though their immensely wealthy elites are far more than capable of pulling majority out of poverty and starvation.Simply put they enjoy the suffering of their excessively poor folks back home whiles money is needlessly squandered on reckless lavish lifestyle including womanizing and dolling out assets like expensive cars ,buildings,hard cash that would have bettered their people a lot if put in useful,productive ventures up north.Simply put they enjoy seeing their people suffer.

Dispute what he said. Look at those who head the SADA program. Most of them are from the Northern part of Ghana so, what is wrong with what Prof. Karikari said? Do you expect him to hold Ashantis or Akans responsible?

The reason is that the president has put square pegs in round holes so nothing works. That is the reason.U do not need to go far to find the reason.

I have said it and will always say it over and over again that, the northerners are the main problems to themselves. Looking at what is going on as regards this SADA (wahala)and the comments from most of them, clearely show that, our brothers have a long way to go. It is a shame that, they have allowed certain disgruntled and selfish people to infiltrate them, having known what they want to hear, regardless of the truth on the ground, and are feeding them exactly that stuff. This is especially so when a so called reports was alleged to have come from experts of the University of UDS to the contrary. The question I keep asking myself is, if they refused to accept the report, what can they do to the government? Nothing, for the fact that, those who will vote for the party will still do that, no matter what. Who then is the looser? I am incline to believe that, the usual dirty and blackmailing politics that we have in this country is behind all of these things, if not, I don´t see why people would rubbish an expert reports for no reasons. Could it be that, their machinations are falling apart? I am not a northerner but the tax payers money that is being invested in such project could have a positive impact on all of us regardless of one´s geographical location. It is in this light that I hundred percent agreed with Prof. Karikari that, the Northerners have disapointed their own people and the president. At the end, they will be the victims. If they are happy seeing their families at Agblogbloshie in the scorching sun struggling to make ends meet, then it´s over to them. It is about time the oppositions in the North, stop playing politics with their own people´s lives. This project can not fail, and everything must be done to keep it going. Meanwhile, those who are found to have misused monies made for it must be punished regardless of their status. This is the only way forward.

This man is stereotypical in his lecture. “One would have thought that leaders from the north in this particular NDC administration would take advantage of the national consensus to promote more than anyone else... as envisaged in the establishment of SADA.”

This is idiotic and damed ethnic bias to lump all northern leaders together in one bowl. If SADA is a national project why does he think all northern leaders in NDC should fit his thinking. Is he really a medea person?

It is disingenuous for Kwame Karikari to put the onus on the success or failure of the SADA program on northern politicians alone. As a national program targeting the north, its successful implementation should be the responsibility of the government and not on its beneficiaries. As he rightfully said, it should be very Ghanaians' concern to rescue the program from failure.I do not think Karikari will make the same assertion on a national program designed to benefit the Ashanti region. These kinds of ill-conceived statements are intended to malign politicians of northern extraction, simply because the president is a northerner.

The only solution to this problem is to give the SADA jobs to the southerners
and they will do a perfect job for the country.

There should be a constitutional change to have members of parliament serve only one term. In 2016, all members of parliament in the 3 regions must go. Now but where are the pressure groups in the North? BONABOTO!! Why are you mute about this? This is something to talk. about

who said ELITE northerners in gov have any desire for development of SADA? Greed and thievery is what they are after. That is why almost all the culprits of the MASSIVE corruption so far in this useless mahama gov are northerners. I am not saying this out of tribal bais but the fact on the ground say so-now, if we have an ewe president, ashanti president, ga president or whatever president, it will be the same. It will be filled with tribes men syphoning the Government coffers and getting away it freely-REMEMBER KUFFOURS TIME?. FACT IS-We black people are very inward looking GREEDY and tribalistic -pure and simple. We have never realised that a situation were the little is shared and everyone gets along is the way to go and the way for proper nation developing because there will be balance. No wonder you find thousands of very poor people walloping everywhere in the country yet you find very rich people in expensive cars and mansions living on an untarred road with filth surrounding their mansions-OFFCOURSE THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THAT. WE REALLY NEED A LEADER WHO HAS VISION AND CITIZENS WHO ARE ENLIGHTENED TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES FOR A PROPER TAKE OFF OF GHANA.

The write up is laudable ,is a challenge to the northern elite who are at the forefront of all things happening in the north. I myself from the north I suppose the modus operandi of the whole operations of SADA is really a sad story to tell. What. they missed the expert proposals from Ghanaians if that was open for people to present their ideas. I myself have a dossier of proposals as to how things should go. The whole money should have been deposited in the bank and turn to the drawing room to ascertain what to do, people could have been sorted to present their plan ideas about development, their proposal I myself have a good package which because concerted effort was never sorted what can I do. SADA has to avoid this expensive consultancy thing and concentrate on simple modulus. For instant guinea fowls rearing should be given to the house holds to breed and construct good slaughter houses at strategic places to buy and dress chickens for sale or export. Over thousands of households would mean stable income to the families and there will be a steady flow of supply of guinea fowls for processing, also they would feel belonging to the project. Each house hold would be given a number of chicken to grow depending on capability, there will be extension officers giving expert advice. This is just one idea of my ideas as to how SADA must go. This ready market would encourage the household, and more money from the sales of fowls even foreign income.

Most of Mahama`s appointees have a big complex,the reason why most are stealing as if there will be no tommorrow.It is not only the Northerners in Mahama`s Government,it ia almost all his appointees and Mahama himself.He has appointed so many incompetent people in position,they have no clue about.
To accuse only the Northerners is unfair,the Government is a team,if they would have had a success,i don`t think anybody would have single out the Norhtners,if they win they win together,if they are failing they are failing together.

Northern elites are nothing more than stomach directed idiots who care more about their foolish self than those they are supposed to help. They are always complaining about a huge gap between the South and the North but in reality, they are the ones widening the gap.

Does it make sense for them to let the program fail and come out with stupid excuses?
