You have been generous to us by saying that Ghana is in 19th century. In fact Ghana is in the 18th century

I consider this situation as a BIG shame to Wassa West District Assembly. After all the abundant resources the the assembly provides, yet the assembly can not construct a bridge for this community. Mr Nunoo should talk about the constructing the bridge rather providing another canoe. This means that he has and the assembly have short vision. Four years ago, 4 pupils lost their lives thro the canoe, and yet mr nunoo said the district is the process of acquiring another canoe. WHAT A SHAME.

Perpetual colonial subjugation would have been a superb deal.

Colonial Ghana was a better Ghana than the mess and failed State we have now.

Colonial Ghana wouldn't be much different from the aburokyire everyone wants to go.

Recolonization is the only way out

Kanawu, you are one STUPID SON OF A BITCH to even think the crap you just spewed. Shame on you. Do you know the true history of colonial Ghana or Africa for that matter. You see, it is "uncle toms" like you that sold your own family, friends and neighbors into slave for a few shillings only to find yourself later enslaved along with them. How can anyone with any common sense think that a foreign power raping your lands of its resources and keeping the majority of the people subjugated is a good thing? The colonial masters gave a very small group of people the advantage of holding lower level positions in the factories and business entities for appearance sake that's it, the rest were just glorified slaves with virtually no rights you dumb ass! I can't believe there are people like you still alive in Ghana, Kwasia. Instead of working to find ways to better ourselves and move the mother land forward, you want to throw your hands in the air and ask someone else to take care of you; LAZY IDIOT! I am so pissed off at your thinking that I can hardly believe it. The sad thing is, I see your level of laziness in too many Ghanaians who would rather bum around while someone else takes care if their responsibilities for them ; Foolish Idiot!

Stop insulting Kanawu and reason and think for a while. For how shall we continue to blame the tortureous colonial past of Africa as a reason for our poverty? What kind of stupid excuse is this? Haven't the Europeans left? And have they forced us to give our gold and diamonds and cocoa to them at knock - down prices? We are that back ward as Kanawu claims us to be, otherwise, why can't we provide a simple pontoon for a farming community adjudged as one of the best in producing our cash crop for foreign exchange? Should we blame the Europeans, Chinese and Japanese for this misplacement of priority too? Shame on you for attacking Kanawu, because he spoke the truth and the truth hurts we all know that. Just swallow your pride and admit we and our leaders are all useless until we act.

Ako, it is Idiots like you that keep the country in the shape it is now. Now, given that I live outside the country, I don't think I am sufficiently versed about the inner workings of the government to say how good or bad Mahama has been but as a thinking man, I know your argument is as foolish as they come, what does the previous president's lack of action in that district in the past have to do with Mahama's lack of action today? Don't blindly follow a lead lest his weaknesses and failures become yours. WAKE UP YOU SLEEPING BABOON!

It's a curse to be a teacher under Mahama's tenure....What was the locus of the BNI to hunt trained and genuine teachers of high professional standard in their field of work....investigation into teachers who presented fake documents for upgrading and those who were not culpable are affected too...I was invited to the BNI headquarters for having presented document on a change of name indicating a correction of name and the humiliation I was subjected through in the hands of these officers whose certificates are not up to mine as a teacher . currently, my salary is blocked and the NDC government is happy that they've removed ghost names from the payroll not knowing they re doing de-service to the country.This is only not done to me as a professional teacher having gone through the training college and the university system but the numbers out there.I leave the service to the GES Boss nd Mahama led NDC government and God will punish anyone who solicits votes for the NDC ......My heart is filled with pains and grieve......

Musah Machester, SHAME ON YOU for calling your own country a joke; I am assuminbg you are a Ghanaian. What the hell have you done for the betterment of Ghana in your entire life? When you make calous statements like that, you insult all those good people who are working with the government to help the country. Yes, there are useless jokers, users, thieves, liars, crooks and eve murderers amongst them but to call the whole country a joke is a shameful and shortsighted thing to say. Just Live Abroad and each time I visit Ghana I come back proud of the great strides in advancements in technology, agriculture, education, construction, medicine, entertainment, etc that I see. Yes, we still have work to do and a long way to go but compared to other African nations, Ghana is doing very well. Try to look at the positives of your own motherland and ways you can even help in making her better and stronger instead of tearing it down because maybe things ate not going that well for you. What ate you contributing to make Ghana better? I have opened a business that employs 24 people at a higher that market rate of pay, that is my little contribution, what is yours? All you know is talk, talk, talk, no action or anything of substance you JACKASS!!!!

Crisp, I can't believe idiots like you still exist in Ghana. So, do you mean to tell me that you ate not aware of the inter - tribal marriages in Ghana ever since there has been Ghanaians? What does thd chief's last name have to do with anything? Does it make less of a member of the community? Ask yourself, is your tribal lineage PURE? Are you a FULL Akan, Ga, Ewe or whatever? We are all mixed somewhere down the line hence the different last names in regions that typically don't have that name. Stop this foolish tribalism, Ghanaians are one big melted tribe today, I dare you to find one Ghanaian whose tribal lineage is without a mix somewhere down the line. STOP THIS FOOLISH TRIBAL LABELING, if helps no one.

Look at how a village with huge resources have been left in this kind of state. We can waste a whopping amount of unnecessary stuff like bus painting which could have constructed this bridge. When people speak out about these kind of practices, they are insulted and branded as opposition. Because no minister or a big politician comes from this village, the have been left to their fate. Millions are going down the drain, unaccounted for. God will deal with our leaders who don't care about the state but only about their pockets.
