Yes! Ghanaians are indeed gullible and you know that very well, that's why you always feed us with Nkrumah's past thrash.

That is true Prof,that majority of Ghanaians are gullible,but,"you can fool some of the people some of the time,but you can't fool all the people all the time".One day Ghanaians will wake up and tell whoever is taking them for granted that,enough is enough.People shouldn't take the peaceful nature of Ghanaians to be foolishness.

About his thievery that has collapsed the country? I agree. He needs to come clean on that aspect of his governance, the thievery aspect that has collapsed the country because as you rightly stated, they are stealing and John Mahama needs to come clean.
As to whether he would get empathy is another question but he needs to come clean as a whistle on the stealing and thievery.

taking spare parts for example ,about 85% of the spare parts coming into the country are below standards, who is protecting the Ghanaian consumer? everything coming into the country are as bad than the word bad itself
some people are milking ghanaians and nobody seem to care .

why is it that when they sold anything to the consumer give no guarantee? or if any written 2days?

Ghana is not on developing path , she is on a reverse gear

THE Man is right. Ghanaians are very gullible. Fa ma nyame syndrome as someone mentioned. They do not read or do any research or hold anyone accountable. We have been enjoying peace for so many years but war torn countries are far off better than us or are on the same level? our leaders promise us things and never deliver them but on election, he gives us money and some bag of rice and we throw our votes away. our attitudes is what is killing us. Hopefully people rise up and know how valuable their votes are and make the right decision for the future

The truth of the matter is that majority of Ghanaians do not use their brain. They do not think because the educational system does not encourage them to think. The cerebral cortex that plays a very important role in consciousness is underdeveloped in most Ghanaians. Unfortunately, our schools have never been equipped to develop this part of the brain.

It is the main reason why when engaged in an argument - I mean, critical thinking, a Ghanaian would rather insult you to cover his/her ignorance. The part of the brain that is given to reasoning and analysis (consciousness) is underdeveloped or perhaps dead. These Ghanaians have no ability to solve problems, which is a critical necessity for nation building. Then we wonder why our country is underdeveloped.

Our gullibility & pliability are due to decades of inferior education. Chew, pour, pass & forget is still practiced by many Ghanaians. Miseducation, unthinking, & unchallenged, & unscientific learning have produced students who can't think, are gullible and easily pliable.

Maths & science are too difficult, they are quick to say.

Dear Prof. Akosa, What are you trying to say about President Mahama by using such word as gullible and transparency to describe what the president and NDC government have done since they came to power. Kufour and the NPP government you supported even though you claim to be CPP, left office in 2008 leaving roads, streets and fly-overs dusty and uncompleted which have almost completed by Mills and Mahama with the NDC government. Not to mention Kufour and NPP government including Nana Addo sold Ghana Airways and the Ghana telecomunications to the Vodafone and shred the money among themselves with impunity. Why did you criticize them at the time. No wonder you and Ndom have destroyed CPP. As an Ashante I am ashamed of your rhetorics and criticism. Book knowledge without good character means nothing to humanity.

I hundred percent agree with you on this one Prof. Ghanaians are not only gullible and pliable,they are also cowards, that is why the likes of Asiedu Nketiah can talk rubbish and get away with.The so called educated ones are the most stupid. Despite the massive corruption being perpetuated Mahama and his Ndc crooks,all you hear from Ghanaians are pure empty noise.The so called Ghanaian journalist are even more ignorant than those illiterates. All they care about is money. No wonder Mahama is emboldened, in his corrupt activities , knowing he can always bribe them to silence.

Ghanaians are not, mostly, as stupid as this failed politician. It's a disgrace to the legacy of Dr Kwame Nkrumah that this guy who had his education, thanks to "gullible Ghanaians", free can open his empty mouth and disrespect us. Ghanaians, by nature, are very, very patient people. This do not mean we are stupid,if we were all empty mouthed guys like Mr Akosah would have been dead. Political leaders, who the people have invested so much trust, are clearly not deserving such trust. They have no spine in providing transformational leadership. This is why we always yearn for an Nkrumah type leader, a visionary leader with humility and respect for Ghanaians

If ghanaians were not gullible would Nkrumah have been able to hoodwink and disenfranchise the whole citizenery right after independence. Even though our motto was " freedom and justice" the words have become meaningless since independence. Detention without trial and injustice is all we have Known since independence. The colonial masters treated us better than all the gangs of thieves who have held power since independence, when truth and integrity vanished from the nation.
