...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today...

Mahama please don't use the possessive "I". The presumption of authority hides the resentment that Ghanaians feel about the inequalities existing in Ghana. Perceived corruption does lead honest people to seek opportunities elsewhere, and it certainly does not create a patriotic society.

Dude stop been so radical on your own race.the white race work to help each other,while they force the black race to work against each other.I school in Germany for some years and Britain. the whites race know that the only way to oppress the black men to take over his resources is to keep them in tribal disputes,when they took over USA from the indigenous people Navajo,Apache,O'odham and Cherokee... they the whites were also having different languages like Germans, Hollanders,Italians, British, Polish, Portuguese,Spanish, French and so on,but they had misunderstanding with wars till they came to conclusion that their many languages are not important but rather communication with a common language which would help them to over come their new challenges.yes it's has work for them,now let talk about our own Ghana with rough estimate population of 27million fine it difficult to adopt one common language, then how much more the whole of sub-saharan Africa. my friend if Ghana can adopt one common language for every Ghanaian then the personal hatred towards each other would stop,it'll enable our leaders to invest in our people like Apostle Safo Kantaka who with his own knowledge has created many useful things and yet the government refused to help him due to tribal nonsense.......?

Eric.I did give you the solutions to Ghana problems. 1 we should work towards one common language for all Ghanaians,starting from kindergarten to SHS and make the so call English our second language. 2.Ghanaians should learn to be self confidence,trusting what's they can do for themselves.3.we should learn to be brothers keeper,meaning liking what's Ghanaian our food,culture, respect for elders as we use to know. 4.we should put our money where our mouth is,meaning invest in people who can produce things useful to our developments,like apostle Safo kantaka and many more.dude just listen to our political race has turn into tribal gimmick instead of what's important for the nation and the masses have buy into such a very cheap ideas....

Then Mr president since you have no idea of what is going on in our country they might have heard about Apostle Safo and other inventors marvellous since their media has been leading pioneer in showing to all corners of the world about Ghana inventors and when you stop your nonsense of stealing our money and stop the create loot and share and support our inventors to manufacture their products they hire people and migration will minimize.Mr president they are telling to stop the steal and create loot and share and support your inventors because their citizens also have to work and take care of their families for they have sacrifice a lot for Africans and its time their citizen has to work.Mr president a wise man will understand their consent and frustration of migrants and Mr president,the Loving God has given us Apostle Safo free of Charge to come and change our destiny and to become superpower of Africa and the time to act is now and time wait for no man.If president John Dramani Mahama is a wise soul he will meditate on the migrant consent and act by supporting our inventors but only thinking of create loot and share.

The topic for the summit was very discriminatory and an unhealthy target and attack to Africans.

until the US, and EU stop appointing to themselfs as world leaders who have the mandate to decide for African, both currency and economics , which had put African on a very edge corner , Africans will continue to migrate because though their leaders are corrupt there is no economical level of faire play.
The pressure from EU AND US on Africans and their leaders give them no hope thats had resulted them in corruptions.
EU and US must stop using Africa continent as the dumping grounds, if all these stops African will stop migration.

Whether npp or ndc all these leaders are robbers in disguise selling off their own people's human right to greedy western capitalists. They're all in politics in the name of change, transformation, bla bla bla but trust me none of them (all African leaders included) are in power to better the livelihoods of the citizenry. It's all for pomposity and extravagance! The intelligent white masters have realized the stupid nature of blacks and they've capitalize on it to advance themselves. Looking at these slick, well polished, disgraceful African leaders jetting all around the world in the name of presidency simply to make a mockery of themselves is just sad. We should have been waaaay richer and more advanced than the west but look at the situation now. We rather go the west who have plunged us into poverty to beg for little things like budget support upon all the resources given to us by the Divine. Our presidents should bow their heads down in shame for allowing the west to dictate to us. Greedy money hungry western puppets. That's what they all are, nothing more. It's all a farce!

Be brave African leader to talk about cultural differences as well.

Some have their partners abroad but cannot reach them the normal way. There are many more reasons.

Mass migration will never if our leaders do not change their ways of thinking in ghana today things have become so pervasive that a graduate cannot even get a common job to do how much more accommodation people all Africa are due to the currupt nature of leaders one person siphons whole sums of money abroad for investment secretly how do expect our economy to grow and prosper no way it's hard time we teach our leaders the hard way so that they will reason when they want to steal state coffers to enrich themselves.

Mahama why didn't you remind them that Europeans migrated en-masse to Africa too. They developed their countries by plundering African resources. They should stop complaining when a few Africans find ways to their countries to seek better lives. Western European attitude is mainly based on racism. Why are they not having this summit on hundreds of thousands of Syrians who are trooping their countries. If it was black skinned people, they would have shut their borders with the first person who made the attempt to go there.
