What's wrong with all those insulting him?are u guys clean urselves?just make this man the president of Ghana for the next 10 yrs and see the change he will bring to Ghana. we treat our own people so cruel when we get power. just look at what John Mahama and ndc did against us the last 8 years. absolute evil.. they created an empire of create,loot and share. monies meant for the upkeep of the poor and needy among us, were shared among themselves. the most heartbreaking of them all was,when compensation money meant for the widows of Ghanaians killed in Gambia was also stolen and shared. also donations meant to buy drugs for chronic diabetic patient, was stolen as well...no white leader would treat their fellow citizens this way like John Mahama did...just look at the huge monies paid to people for no work done as judgment debts..coupled with scam policies like gyeeda,subah,saada etc etc. just go read the 2015 auditor generals report and u will weep for Ghana. in gyeeda scam alone, Over GH 1.5 billion was stolen...a few years ago, Ghana went to China to get a $3billion loan. Mahama paid over $200m as insurance for this loan, in the end we got nothing,neither were we able to retrieve the insurance cash. If Ghana were their own properties,would they treat it this way??this pure evil against the people of Ghana and we are quite but find courage to insult Mr. Blair??.....people like Real Admiral Amedume and Roger were shot dead for using their positions to obtain loans under PNDC/NDC. I hope Mahama and his evil thieves would face the same fate for their economic crimes against the state....I am appealing to the new Govt led by Nana Addo, to do everything possible and retrieve this stolen monies for the state and punish everyone responsible for the evil against us. long live Ghana.

Stupid blacks. Chinese are mining their resources while they are printing T-Shirts from china and taking vacations in Dubai.

According to a notable Nigerian, between 1964-2000 Nigeria accrued over $600 billion from their oil. Look at Nigeria and Nigerians today. Another Shit hole country.

When Nkrumah was trying to work with the Asian countries to develop Ghana, they started labeling him a communist. Yet any chance they get today they are in China. Wonders shall never end.

Which black country with resources has been able to develop? and don't tell me it is South Africa.

With due respect I don't get what he is saying to us. He has nothing to offer us , he has no influence,no leverage. Even in his own country he has lost respect , the labour party has left him.
The monies he is making on these speaking engagements are the reasons that brought him here.

Who said we are not aware we have enormous resources ? Is he the one to tell or remind us ? Has he been able to bring peace to the middle East which was the assignment he took after leaving office ?

After creating chaos in that region through the false misleading lies that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, look the unrest and the confusion your actions has brought into the region.

Sir, you need prayers.

Blair the war you went with bush in lraq isn't bad mate.. go to lraq and beg them. Why did you listen to bush? Anyway because of the queen you are welcome to Ghana. Only because of the queen. Thank you for telling us that we must take some strong and tougher decisions to develop. We will bounce back by the help of God as God is tge source of everything. He created the world and he has the whole world in his hands, until he builds a nation, no one can. I love Britain so much because they are good people and a good country, l don't buy the idea of Scotland wanting freedom and wanting to join the euro, l think Scotland must understand that the whole United Kingdom voted and decided so they cannot be deluded like that and take on themselves, that is uncivilised nation to me. I thought so called third world countries do things like but it is like these days the so called third world countries understand things better and unity exist more with them. Nichola Sturgeon is a wimp and arrogant. Leave her to do what she likes and let them go if they want if they don't regret then.

The fact that he made the biggest error in going to Iraq is one serious thing so many of us opposed to it and never for gave him.
Now he is informing as some facts as to how to move forward in developing our country Ghana. Take what is good from his power point and use it. Quote "Mandela said my country will be friends with any country that has stood by us in our struggles" this was in response to why he is friends with some leaders the west sees as enemies.
That is what we Ghanaians should focus on, the lecture he made was it productive can we use it in Ghana.
Could we have bought one of his books and have all these information without it costing too much.
Tony Blair was one of the best leaders in Britain on till he made that mistake of of going to Iraq. But then what has change, the western world depend on us to survive they only step back when you acquire a nuclear weapons untill then don't ever think the care for you. It is instuitionalise so every government that come on will do the same in a different way but same Idea behind it.
Even I know and have been saying, that our governments should just copy them the Chinese did it an now they are powerful.
So Ghanaians should stop blaming others and do it ourselves. We may not have chains on our feet but we are still enslaving because of corruption. We watch while Chinese people destroyed our rivers, aaaaaaa!!! who among you can do that in any another country?
Ghana must wake up. Peace

Dear His Excellency President of Iran And Government of Iran,
IT IS VERY DINGUISHED HONOUR TO SEND THIS MESSAGE OF GOODWILL, GOOD FAITH CONGRATULATIONS TO HIS EXCELLENCY PERSONALLY AND TO THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN FOR YOUR GOODWILL, GOOD FAITH DEMONSTRATION(S) OF THE ACT OF STATESMAN GOOD GESTURE OF FRIENDSHIP(S) EXTENDING THE COURTESY OF MUTUAL CO-OPERATION, MUTUAL TRUST AND MUTUAL RESPECT AND DEEP UNDERSTANDING TO RELEASE THE BRITISH HOSTAGES UNCONDITIONALLY. THAT FOR THIS ACT OF DEMONSTRATION OF TOLERANCE, UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND EXTENDING "THE OLIVE BRANCH OF LEAF" TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, THAT I SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN AND GOVERNMENT OF IRAN MY DEEP HEARTFELT GRATITUDE AND SINCERE THANKS TO YOU AND THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN. THAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD POSITIVELY FOR THE EXACT DAY SET FOR THEIR RELEASED AND MANIFESTLY DAY OF THEIR RELEASED.
THAT IT IS THE EXPECTATION(S) OF ALL GOODWILL PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT IRAN IN THE SAME TOKEN OF ACT OF GOOD GESTURE OF RELEASING THE HOSTAGES UNCONDITIONALLY WILL ALSO CONSIDER IN THE SUPREME BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF IRAN AND OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ABANDON THE QUEST FOR NUCLEAR ARMS POWER FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE, STABILITY AND SECURITY OF THE WORLD. THAT HISTORY TAUGHT/TEACH US THAT IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE WORLD THAT "MIGHT" WAS CONSIDERED AS "THE OWNER OF "MIGHT" WAS/IS THE MOST POWERFUL". THAT, THAT WAS THE PERIOD THAT WAR WAS WANGERING ALL OVER THE WORLD AND WITHIN SOCIETIES". HOWEVER, AFTER THE END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR CIVILIZED PEOPLE STARTED SERIOUS THINKING AND PROJECTED THE THOUGHT OF WORLD/GLOBAL PEACE AND FORMED THE LEAQUE OF NATIONS. THAT THE LEAQUE OF NATIONS FAILED BECAUSE OF UNEVEN BALANCED OF POWER AND PROLIFERATIONS OF ARMS POWER INCLUDING NUCLEAR POWER THAT CULMINATED AGAIN SIMPLY BECAUSE OF EXPANSIONIST(S) TENDENCIES/MOTIVES THAT RESULTED AGAIN IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. THAT THE UNITED NATIONS WAS FORMED AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR TO PROMOTE AND TO ENHANCE ON PEACE IN THE WORLD. THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR ATTEMPT TO BALANCE WORLD POWER AMONGST THE CONTENDING POWERS AT THAT TIME THAT DISECTED THE WORLD INTO BI-POLAR WORLD. THAT THERE WAS SUSPICION AMONGST THE TWO COMPETITING POWERS THAT LED TO THE "COLD WAR ERA" WHERE THE WORLD WAS TORN BETWEEN "THE EAST AND THE WEST".
THAT AFTER THE "COLD WAR" THE WORLD APPARENTLY IS NOW "UNI-POLAR WORLD". THAT THE GENTLEMAN ACTS OF FRIENDSHIP(S), CO-OPERATION(S), MUTUAL TRUST, MUTUAL RESPECT, TOLERANCE, UNITY IN DIVERSITY TO PROMOTE PEACE, STABILITY, SECURITY, DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, PROGRESS AND THE PURSUITS OF HAPPINESS IS THE ORDER OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD.
THAT THROUGHOUT HISTORY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS NEVER OWNED A COLONY OR ANNEXED ANY SOVEREIGN COUNTRY/NATION AS ITS/HER TERRITORY AS THE CASE OF IRAQ UNDER SADDAM HUSSEIN IN KUWAIT. THAT IRAN IN ITS/HER GOODWILL, GOOD FAITH ACT OF GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS HAS NOTHING TO FEAR ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN BUT TO CONSIDER TO ABANDON THE NUCLEAR ARMS POWER AND TO OPEN THE DOORS TO DIALOGUES SO THAT THE UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN CAN/COULD BE LIFTED AND TO ALLOW IRAN TO ENTER INTO BI-LATERAL AGGREMENTS WITH GREAT BRITAIN, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
THAT ONCE AGAIN, MAY HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT OF IRAN AND GOVERNMENT OF IRAN ACCEPT RESPECTFULLY MY CONGRATULATIONS AND HEARTFELT GRATITUDE AND THANKS.
GOD RICHLY BLESS HIS EXCELLENCY AND THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN IN THE GENUINE ACT OF CHOOSING THE NOBLE ACT(S) OF LIFE, PEACE, PROSPERITY, FRIENDSHIP AND THE GENERAL PURSUITS OF HAPPINESS FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAN.

SUBJECT: RE: THE CASE OF THE BRITISH HOSTAGES

COPY TO: HIS EXCELLENCIES THE ORIGINAL ADDRESSES

INFORMATION COPY: HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR

DATE: APRIL 2, 2007

Dear His Excellency President of Iran And Government of Iran,
Further to the Above Mentioned Subject-Matter Addressed to His Excellency President of Iran And His Excellencies President of the United States of America, Prime Minister of Great Britain, Secretary General of the United Nations Through the Honorable Secretary of State of the United States of America, I Humbly And Respectfully Acknowledged And Appreciated the Diplomatic Efforts Directed Towards the Peaceful Settlements of the Matter in a Mutual Friendly Manner to Avoid Confrontations And Aggressions that will Enhance And Promote not only Peace, Stability And Security, Developments, Growth, Progress And Economics Prosperity in the Region, But Also to Promote And Enhance on the same Noble Objectives of Over All Sustainable Peace, Stability And Security in the Whole/Entire World.
This is because No Society can Make Any Meaningful Development(s) if there is No Peace. That Peace is therefore the "Sine qua non" of Development(s), Growth, Progress And Economis Prosperity to Promote the Good of the People which is the Desired Aspirations of All People All Over the World. That in the Gesture of Goodwill, Good Faith Statesmanship(s) And Love For Peace, I Still Reiterate My Earlier Appeal for the UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF THE BRITISH HOSTAGES.
That I have followed over the Week End the Events in the Region listening to the News with keen interest(s) And that I have Also seen the Pictures of the Hostages And Realized that the Government of Iran was/is Demanding "AN APOLOGY" From the British Government.
That Words at times Alone in the "Act(s) of Goodwill, Good Faith, Mutual Friendship(s) Relationship(s) is Meaningless than the Act of Goodwill, Good Faith Statesmanship Act(s) of Good Gesture of Friendship(s) that opens the Doors to Mutual Respect, Dialogue, Mutual Trust And Enormous Exchange(s) of Each others Areas of Comparative Advantages in Human Endeavours to Promote Genuine Economics, Technical And other Assistance(s) to improve upon the Quality of Lifes of the People in the various Respectives Countries.
That At this Backdrop, As International Lawyer/Legal Expert And Administrator And a Man that loves Peace And have Enormous And Tremendous Respect for Human Life, Economics Well-Beings of All People irrepectives of their Circumstances that I Believed firmly that His Excellencies Also Believed in as I Know His Excellencies Prime Minister Tony Blair of Great Britain And Mr. President George W. Bush to be Very Compassionate Excellencies that detest Poverty, Hunger, Disease, Misery And Dictatorship And Suppression of People Are Working Tireless Day And Night to help and assist Countries that are less fortunate in their circumstances.
In the light of the Above therefore, I elect myself to Render to the Government of Iran "MY OWN APOLOGY AND SHOULD BE SEEN AS A GOODWILL, GOOD FAITH GESTURE FROM ME AND NOT TO CONSTRUED AS AN ACT OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THAT IT DOES NOT ALSO MEAN(T) THAT THE HOSTAGES ARE AT FAULT SINCE I AM NOT APPRISED OF THE FULL FACTS OF THE CASE"
God Bless His Excellency for Releasing the Hostages Unconditionally.
Very Truly Yours,

> Dear His Excellencies,
> It is the most and the greatest opportunity of Respect And Honour (Honor) to His Excellencies that I further send this Comments And opinion on the Above Subject-Matter in the Most difficult trying moments of the Case of the British Hostages And the actual ground situations Also in the Case of Iran in the Quest to Possess Nuclear Arms/Weapons in the wake of the Clarion Call on All Nations/Countries in the World And Members of the United Nations to seek the Peace And Security of the world. That People of Goodwill are tirelessly working Day and Night to find a lasting And sustainable solutions thereto to not only broker the Peace and to promote Developments, Growth, Progress And the Dignity of People through Peaceful Negotiations And Dialogue to Solve very Sensitive Problems but also to put a lasting stop to the senseless killings in the World as in the Case of Iraq by the Alquadae Terrorists and Sectarian Violence. That, that is the Panacea to the Solutions in the Gulf Regions And the Middle East And the Rest of the World that Conflicts is/are emerging.
That as International Lawyer/Legal Expert/Administrator who has studied both International Law And International Relations, it is no gainsaying the fact that Diplomacy And International Law entailed and required that for Decency, Mutual Respect And Trust of Each Other(s), Parties or Nations/States/countries that have Issues to Resolve in the Context of the Promotion of Global Peace And Security must and should Attempt And Exhaust All Diplomatic Mechanisms/Avenues in Resolving the Problem(s) or the Related Issue(s) on the Virtues And Noble Principles of "Give And Take", Tolerance And Goodwill Gesture(s) of Friendship And through Dialogue to Promote And Enhance on Healthy Deliberations based upon the Noble Aspirations And
Objectives of the United Nations.
That in the Case of the British Hostages that His Excellency Government Alleged that they Entered into the Territorial Waters of Iran has been treated under the United Nations Treaties And Conventions that there Exists some Clear Milleage from the International Waters And that of a Nation's Territorial Waters. That the Fact still remains that Iran is not at War with Great Britain And that there should clearly exist Between Iran And the Rest of the World Goodwill And Good Faith Trust Since Iran is a Bona fide Member of the United Nations, the World Organization that Matters of International Concerns Are Addressed And Resolved, if the Parties themselves cannot Resolve it Amicably Between themselves. That the fact that the British Hostages have not committed Any Aggression Against Iran And its People that Diplomacy should be given the Chance to Work out And Resolve the Problem Amicably through Dialogue.
That I keenly Observed the Hon. Foreign Minister of Iran Presenting the Case of Iran at the United Nations Security Council on the Nuclear Power/Arms Case After the Vote And that the Foreign Minister clearly made the Case that Iraq under Saddam Hussein Attacked Iran Twice And Used Chemical Weapons Against the People of Iran. That if that Assessment is True, then it suggested to Any Reasonable Person(s) that Iraq under Saddam Hussein really posed Treat And Danger to not only its Neighbours (Neighbors) taking the Case of Iraq invading Kuwait just for Kuwait to be liberated by the United States of America under the Able Leadership of President George H. Bush, the Father of President George W. Bush under whose Able Leadership Again that the Treat And the Danger Saddam Hussein Iraq posed to its Own People (People of Iraq), immediate Neighbours (Neighbors) And the world.
That Taking Cognizance of these Related Assessments of Facts which are really factual then the removal of Saddam Hussein from Power And the Emerging Democracy in Iraq that is the catalyst that will Promote Peace, Security And Stability in the Gulf Region, the Middle East And the World should not be seen by Iran as a Treat to Iran, But Rather must be seen in Good Faith as a Step in the Right Direction that will lead to Growth, Development, Progress, Peace, Security And Stability not only in the Region, But the World at large.
That what Actually is Iran Afraid of if the Enemy in the Region has/had been removed and the Treat Removed then it behooves on Decency, Truth And Honesty that there is Nothing for Iran to Fear Again. That if there should be Anything to fear then it is the "FEAR ITSELF".
That the real enemy of Iraq has been defeated by the capture of the Brutal Dictator And murderer of Iraqi People And the triumph of the Rule of Law in Iraq heralded by the Trial and Conviction of Saddam Hussein. That the fact of the matter is that the wagering war on-going in Iraq is not war against Iran And Iraq but war against the enemies of Iran And Iraq who are dotted all over the Geo-Political Territorial Boundaries of Iran And Iraq and are Alquadae Terrorists And Suicide bombers who are not fighting under the Command and Control Command Structure of Iran And Iraq Armed forces or the Allied Forces and therefore make the fight of the war very intricately difficult since it is difficult to differentiate the real friends and lovers of Iran And Iraq and the enemies of the Iran And Iraqi People within Iran And Iraq Geo-Political Territorial Boundaries.
That Unless Iran Proved the Contrary that Iran will be Afraid of the Coalition Forces fighting to liberate Iraq And to Promote Peace, Stability And Security in the Region And to Make the World a Safe Place. That the "Onus" or the Burden of Proof now shifted to Iran to Declare And to Show its Goodwll And Good Faith Dealings with its Neighbours (Neighbors) Especially Iraq in the Region And to Release the British Hostages UNCONDITIONALLY TO PAVE WAY TO GOODWILL DEMONSTRATION OF FRIENDSHIP AND TO SHOW THE OLIVE BRANCH LEAF OF PEACE.
That the on-going war is now being fought in various stages and phases.
That the Phase One was the overthrow of Saddam Hussein that at that time the fight was against Saddam Hussein Command And Control Armed Forces and that the victory was very swift.
However, the fight now is against the Alquadae Terrorists within the Territory of Iraq And at the same time it behooves upon both Allied forces and Iraqi forces to protect the Iraqi People while they engaged the
insurgents at the same time making the task very difficult.
That the tricks of the Enemy is to turn the war to Sectarian violence which the Government and People of Iraq and the Allied forces must/should do everything to prevent such occurrence. But that the great thrust of the matter depend on the Government And People of Iraq to prevent the Sectarian Violence at all costs.
That the First President of Ghana, the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah even though I disagreed with Him in some related ways but agreed with Him in His words of Wisdom and I quote, "IN THE PAST THE SAHARA HAS DIVIDED US, BUT TODAY IT UNITES US AN INJURY TO ONE OF US IS AN INJURY TO ALL OF US".
That under the context quoted,That the First President of Ghana, Dr.Kwame Nkrumah made the Statement at the Day of Ghana Indepence. He further Stated that "THE INDEPENDENCE OF GHANA IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS IT IS LINKED UP WITH THE TOTAL LIBERATION OF AFRICA." That, that culminated in the Formation of the Organization of African Unity, Now transformed to Africa Union.
That under this Context "If Iraq has been divided in the Past because of the Dictatorship exhibited by Saddam Hussein, Today His Removal And Trial And Conviction for his Crimes committed against the Iraqi People And His Neighbours(Neighbors) including Iran And Kuwait should unite them as People in the same Region with the Same Emerging Democracy Aspirations with a Common Destiny to Protect And Defend the New Emerging World Order of Unity in Diversity to Promote And Enhance upon Sustainable Peace, Stability, Economics Prosperity And the Pursuits of Happiness".
That at this Backdrop, it therefore behooves on Iran to Demonstrate the Goodwill Gesture of Freewill Statesmanship of Friendship to release the
British Hostages unconditionally to pave the Way Forward for Dialogue And on the Noble Virtues of "GIVE AND TAKE", MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT FOR EACH AND UNDER GOLDEN VIRTUES OF TOLERANCE AND LOVE FOR THE WELL-BEINGS OF ALL PEOPLE TO LIVE IN PEACE , UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND DIGNITY.
That His Excellency Himself being a Product of Democracy through the Franchise System (Ballot Box) in a Free And Fair Elections should be seen as the Protector And Defender of Democracy in the Gulf And Middle East Regions.
That President Abraham Lincoln Dictum of Democracy that is the Accepted Definition(s) Amongst others All over the World states as follows:
"GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE". That the Essence of Politics is "TO PROMOTE THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE" And that His Excellency should consider to Seek the Best Interest of the People, First, in Securing their Well-Beings Economically And Further their Interest And Aspirations in Promoting Economics Growth, Prosperity, Development, And the Pursuits of Happiness that is the "Sine qua non" of the Economics Indicators of a Prosperous Nation/Country Rather than Military Might. That the Path of Might is only and only, if there is Mis-Trust of Each other, Dictatorship And Tyranical Regimes that Posed serious Treats to the Peace And Security of the World. That Honestly Should the International Community to Perceived Iran as such a Country? That in the Best Judgements (Judgments) And My Estimations that the Answer to the Rhetorical Question should be obviously "A BIG NO".
That the United Nations Aspirations And Objectives is/are to Promote World Peace, Global Stability And Global Economics Prosperity And to Promote the Good of the People. That if Iran undertakes the Golden Paths of Friendship with the Rest of the World And the International Community then it is a Trite Knowledge that the Need for Nuclear Arms is a Non starter And unneccessary.
That there is no Society which is Immuned to Social Change since Change is a dynamic functions of Society that New Ideas Emerging And Old Ideas (orders) are fading Away to Promote Development, Growth, Progress And Co-operation based upon the Principles of Unity in Diversity And Inter-Dependency.
This is because No Society is Totally Independent on its own And that Inter-Dependence is the function(s) of Nations/Countries/Societies even on Individual Personal Relationships.
That Iran Stands to Gain Enormously from the International Community if Iran Considers to thrive on Peace, Unity in Diversity, Dialogue, Friendship, Co-operation, Mutual Trust And Respect, Economics Prosperity than the Choice of Violence that leads to Human sufferings, Miseries, Death, Deprivations, Isolation And lost of Lifes And Property And Eventually War which God should forbid in the Supreme Best Interest of the People of Iran. That Personal/Partisan Interests must/should yield to National And International Interests for the sake of Peace.
That Saddam Hussein made that mistake And I urged His Excellency And the Government of Iran not to make the same Mistake but should Open up herself to the International Community And Show the Good Faith And Goodwill Acts of Friendship And Release the Hostages Unconditionally And to Consider to Abandon the Nuclear Arms Power Ambition Completely as North Korea And Libya did And to Open the Golden Doors to Dialogue for the United Nations Security Council And the United States of America to lift the Sanctions imposed on Iran.
God Richly Bless His Excellency, Government of Iran And the People of Iran for Goodwill Understanding to Prevail in the Matter.
Yours Faithfully,
