In abundance of water the fool is tasty. In abundance of rich minerals the Ghanaian is poor. When one of its members tried to bring transformation you will see the endemic silly minded shouting you cannot do it. Truly a prophet is without honour except in his own country. If you don’t have the mind of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah you can never bring change to Ghanaians. The mind of Nkrumah speaks louder beyond our borders.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” (Martin Luther King Jnr,)

It is very simple to develop the people to take charge in managing their own affairs; people must be encouraged to use their minds effectively and positively. The black person has been an object of mockery in the world for a very long time. Those with great knowledge expertise were and are being exploited outside their country of origin through “brain drain” philosophy. All because we don’t we believe in ourselves.

Most black people are so corrupt and greedy to point of selling their conscience for bread to betray their own. Today in our own land, our own people serve as agents to foreign agents to thwart the growth and development of our people and nation. Many of our own go round the world misinforming our development partners from given us assistance or delay the processes that will enhance our development.

Such non entities vociferous traitors are in the country trying very hard every morning to make their voices heard to prove to their partners that they are doing well. However if you analyse them carefully, you will begin to ask questions.

What have they done for their community?
What are their personal achievements?
Where is their source of income?
Who pays their monthly wages and living allowance?
What transformation have they brought to their immediate community?

It is not how much you can shout but what sense you can make. It is very true empty barrels make the most noise.

What are you complaining about? You seemed to be one of the selfish and inconsiderate supporters of the corrupt NDC. How do you expect the people to pay for the poor services that is being rendered and to still pay more when there is no assurance of even better service.For the people to pay more the services should be improved first. I know you're one of the greedy politicians who is hiding behind the scene just to insult anybody who do not agree with the government. The people are tired of empty promises. Shame on you.

Nonsense,whom are u advising?everyday u are here using abusive words to describe people u disagree with. Words that are so harsh,words not fit to describe animals. U have sold urself to this wicked Gov for a pittance. just to do evil in the sight of God and man and will definitely pay for ur stupidity sooner or later. Cus of nokofio, u come here and defend the evil being unleased on Ghanaians by this Administration led by Jdm.even the dead knows the damage this Ndc Gov has caused mother Gh. Yet, people like u who are supposed to know better and help speak against this Gov to change their ways, are the very ones glorifying them. Despite overwhelming evidence of grand thievery and systematic corruption that has engulfed the Nations cus of mismanagement.. The Bible warned people like in Isa.5:20, Woe to u who call evil good,and good evil. Preferring darkness to light..The same is repeated in Jude 1:11 which says, people like u have gone the way of Cain and rushed in Balaam's eror cus of greed..you definitely going to perish in ur evil..says the Lord. This advice goes to all who come here to insult and abuse innocent political opponents using tribal undertones.. example: BBCNEWS,NPP Senior Citizen,Aponkye,Kofi USA,Douglas UK,Ugly Akufu Addo etc.there is no more time bros. A word to the wise?mark my words

Thanks for speaking wisdom to this wicked and selfish ignorant who calls himself last don. I believe he is part of the problem. The way he keeps insulting people makes me feel that he is an activist for NDC and is being paid to insult people to scare them from writing anything bad against the party.

Not only is there nothing to write home about, even if you wrote the letter it would be stolen by Ghana Post.

Utility companies all over the advanced countries pre finance their expansion. The other option is for the utility providers to charge exorbitant prices to amortize bonds. If that is done in Ghana, rates will go through the roof. It takes 3 years to bring power generator on line. With interest rates prohibitive in Ghana, the bond would have doubles before the first wat is generated. Electricity costs GhC0.40 per unit in the USA and GhC 1.4 in Germany. These are countries with huge economy of scales advantage and infrastructures that have long been paid for.
The problem with news reporters is they have no in depth knowledge of most topics and so there no deep analyses and this is a dis service to the society for half truths are more dangerous than reasoned errors. It makes serious topics appear to be sensational.

ECG does not need new equipment to enhance the energy supply. The BLAME IS ON GRECO AND ECG. There should be a policy on energy usage especially in INDUSTRIES to reduce the amount of waste. That alone can improve the CAPACITY INSTALLED AND SUPPLY SYSTEM IN GHANA. Yes, I can say that because I am an electrical Engineer trained from USA with 30 years of experience on “HOW” and “WHY”. The problem is that the moment you try to help you will be challenge out of EGO power. There are too many people on the board of energy with BIG TITLES who don't know what is going on but yet they are still on their positions because of politics. If our leaders appoint people to areas where Ghana is hurting only on merits our electrical problems could be solved. IF THE GOVERNMENT BECOMES SERIOUS, THERE WILL BE LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL GIVE HIM FREE CONSULTATION. THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING "HOW" AND "WHY". I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT FIND PEOPLE WITH BOTH "HOW" AND "WHY" experience.

Government buys gas from Nigeria Gas Company and Ghana Gas Company on credit.
Government sells the gas to consumers and pockets the proceeds without paying the debts it owes Nigeria Gas Company and Ghana Gas Company.
Nigeria demands payment from Ghana, and Government turns to consumers And demand payment of higher prices for gas and electricity, as if consumers are responsible for the non-payment of the debts owed to Nigeria and Ghana Gas Company.
What has the Government of Ghana done with the monies it realized from the gas it purchased from Nigeria and Ghana Gas Company ?
Why are Ghanaians in this very humiliating position after paying for the gas they consumed. Why is Government keeping the money realized from Gas sales and asking Ghanaians to pay extra before Nigeria is paid? Is our Government a thieving Government ???

When government and other agencies are owing Utilities providers,utility providers are turning their attention to ordinary Ghanaians to pay higher tariffs.For how long will they continue increasing tariffs. This incompetent utility providers lacks the ability to manage these companies. Presently there is no water flowing from Kpong water works for more than two weeks now.There is no explanation from Ghana Water Company to the consumers of water.The water consumers will be over happy to pay 200% tariff increase.
