This foolish man says he's old and hence can't talk but, still living on the largesse of the government. He's nothing but, an educated fool.

The 70 years is no excuse to stop talking or giving ideas, unless you don't want to ruffle feathers of the Govt in power. Your experience should be very useful in getting this country on the right track.

If he claims he is too old to talk then why accept the invitation by the radio station? The interesting thing is he ended up criticizing the NPP and exonerating NDC with his comments. He claims there is "hardship everywhere", which is not true. Most of the problems we have are self generated.

The idiocy of the ndc govt really never ceases to amaze us . we never thought they were intrinsically born stupid . why are they crying now that nobody worth their salt wants to touch them with a 10 foot pole or even go near them and assist them with ideas . First all having ideas doesn't mean you have the personnel or cadres to execute them , if you did you would already have the ideas and solutions . Stealing ideas can never help as always there is a hidden substance that is not readily visible . Third why shop around for ideas when we all already know the sustainable healthy projects are already in the system but for the corrupt pepeni , ayigbe and Ga idiots these things are being sabotaged in by the bureaucracy and same ministers of state , give us a break with this colossally stupid form and stop the bullshit . establish the rule of law and justice for all and these things will give relief to the economy and our people

And you have met the one you insults father? Be a better person and stand above the maddening crowd.You may have met Ato Ahwoi and being may be naive, you have been awed by his grandiose tales of self-importance, but read what he supposedly said and he should rather be apologizing to Ghanaians for his omissions and commissions while feeding on the largesse of poor Ghana. Yep, when prez Kuffour was head of state, the whole wide world was like a land of milk and honey and Ghana was particularly like heaven.Kuffour's govt, warts and all found a way to fix bad situstions, but were they given a pass, no way! "Prof" Ato Ahwoi, grey hair and all, had a white board set up under a tree and like the know-it-all Lotto Professor shouted himself hoarse on how bad Ghana was, fast forward to today, and he's trying to shirk his responsibility, he should be one of the people who's feet should be held to the "fire created by this govt", in which he is complicit.

Why do you educationist fail to critic in the right way? Ato, take out Kuffour administration & face the konkonte by the wall. Whose government is on board & who do you refer to for this abnormal hardship of today Ghana? You can afford three meal plus drinks every day including selective family & friends and you dare tell Ghanaians to stop complains? You need to stop blaming the world & fix Ghana abnormal hardship. Ato, so you are only there for NDC but Ghana as whole is a shit to you. I regret my respect for you indeed.

Prof, Ato! I lost my respect for you. This is a big lie you have just told the world. Big Big lie. When you are 70yrs old that is when you become more wiser and stronger to fix the economy. All over the world, @ 70 you become more wiser bcos you use your brains more than you strength! What you said is actually a communist inferior lie. It was developed in Germany and adopted by Russia, That is why polit1cians retire people around that age making the people to believe that they are old. The truth is that when you above 60yrs people fear you!!! Ato you lied!!!! and I am so ashamed!!!!!

Ghana is what it is today because of these old boys. You did everything to gain power but after that, what? This NDC government has sent Ghana back to the PNDC era. Your soo called alternative ideas during Kuffours' era should be fed to the Mahama led government now. NDC has failed Ghanaian because they have one motive, to STEAL. The leadership is corrupt and rest follow. Old man, you are not too old to advise Mahama about corruption in the system. You are not too old to offer advise on better governance.

First of, Ato Ahwoi is not a role model, or an individual whose life should be emulated. He is a thief and a nation wrecker! Ato, his brother and their criminal gang are the reason for Ghana's chaotic state, hence his defeaning silence on Ghana's shambled economy. If you listened to his interview, he spoke from both ends of his lying mouth. First, he claimed he would not discuss politics, but continued to criticize Kuffuor. And Kojo, a serial Katakyie apologist, stole from Ato's play book, by conveniently injecting Nana Addo into this conversation - even though this was not about him. This is all because they are morbidly worried about Nana Addo despite the fact that he is not the only one who has declared his intention to ran.

If at 70years you are too old to criticise and advise, you better shut up end enjoy your booty. You directly brought these hardships to bear on this country, the wrong and irresponsible choises you made in NDC1&2is what we are seeing today. Telling us economic problems exist in other economies is stupid and senseless. We are dying and we have no right to talk because we are not alone in this hopeless situation. Why don't you resign your position as the chaiman of the NPC, being too old to chair this company?
