They say that if your rival's daughter is more beautiful than yours, you must say it. That is honourable.

What is going to change to spurt that growth? I guess this nameless Think Tank must also have received an SUV and some money to give this type of "Obinim" 419 forecast.
By, the way where is the money we got from the exports? We borrow like there is no tomorrow.

Those who don't have eyes to see will criticize John Mahama. I know there are hardships all over the place in trying to make ends meet, but that's how economic reforms its all about. History behind all successful great nations was hardwork, pain and suffering. We are suffering now as Ghanaians to gain! We must be grateful, especially when we hear of the gloomy economic reports from arguably, Africa's biggest economy, Nigeria!! If Ghana can continue at this pace of restructuring, we shall wipe off the tears from our eyes. I don't want NPP to boast of better economic fortunes during Kuffour's era, because the country had massive debt relief to turn things around must faster than realized. Join hands together to move the country forward, because even in the United States, we have the poor and the poorest who in many instances find it tough to make ends meet. Joblessness is all over place. The true unemployment figures might range between 10 - 15% or more. Remember that Donald Trump won the US elections at the backdrop of creating and bringing back jobs to the citizenry. Immigrants are targets because people believe they have taken their jobs. It's not so, rather, a lot of immigrants are doing jobs that are not attractive to the ordinary citizens. No where cool, my brothers and sisters!! Let's all sacrifice to build our great nation, Ghana.

Good job Mahama! Mahama add economic and export diversification to seal the deal. That will not only boost the economy but strengthen the cedi.

Such news should be shelved until the election is over. We the NPP don't want anything that will drive votes for the NDC. It is our time to also chop Ghana's oil money.

With the progress NPP left for the NDC, Ghana's growth should be around 9.2 by now. We are still at a stand still, with all our resources. One step forward, three steps backwards.
To make matters worse, the projected growth is just an estimation. It is like me saying, my cocoa farm will yield a certain percentage more than all my neighbors. That is very subjective. It may never happen. A lot of variables should come into play for it to happen. With our present Mahama's incompetent administration,that will not come to pass!!!!

There will not be any net gain even if this projection is achieved as long as CORRUPTIN outgrows the economic growth. Sorry I can't trust you.
