It is only brain-dead foolish leaders in Africa who have to be told this. This is common sense.

Over the years, when our fruits and veggies keep being rotten because of accessibility problems, they still never learned from it. I keep saying this everyday: God must be very disappointed for creating blacks.

I had the shock of my life when I heard owusu bempah an Npp communicator say that Npp lost because they focused on roads and not the economy,you don’t need to have a high IQ to know that good roads = good economy too,if they had really focused on building roads with the numerous loans they had gone for and not scammed Ghanaians with the empty slogan,year of roads ,I’m not sure Npp would have lost with such a large margin

Did he say anything about contracts? Why do you fools think that by anyone or this chinaman telling you the truth. He automatically stands to gain some6from that? How can you be a serious sprinter without spikes? How can you be a soccer player without soccerboots?? OR a basketball player without sneakers? Ghanaians leaders are fools! Too stupid to think n they won't even copy from others. Just have one aim...Jubilee house cash n carry

It seems you don't understand diplomacy. If I advice you to wear condoms 24/7 and you agree, won't you approach me for quality ones?

T, you are smart. This diplomat is equally smart. He's indirectly bidding for those contracts should there be any. Smart move.

Even poor little me have been making this same argument since I first visited China in 1998. I was living in India at the time and I made the statement that China was 400 years ahead of India and of Africa by 1000 years due to the roads that I saw in China.

Trust the Chinese in this matter because they have been there before.
Then you can do more business with them.
Win win case .

He is looking for business for china they bring their own workers and then you depend on them for maintenance and still owe them loads of money. Tell them to write off the high interest crippling loans. What is really there to show for it. The little money you have should be spent on local infrastructure carried out by Ghanaians or least Africans to gain the expertise.

This is common sense in economics foundation building. Nana Addo's years of roads saw many roads built. And we hope to hear from Mahamas initiatives in road infrastructure building!

It is the "profit" from roads that will end up funding education......

Form hindsight, at least 80% of those that were FREELY EDUCATED left the country.....and came back after they are/were spent......

It's no no-brainer. We don't need the Chinese to tell us this. The two main roadblocks to African development are 1—lack of honest accountability from the Government to the public. 2- How to deal with high interest rates from these World banks controlled by the so-called Superpowers!

China was a poor country only 30yrs ago in 1995. The experiments the Chinese President Den Ping made by liberalizing Guandzou city into a free market city like Hong Kong paved the way for China's development such that it has become a first World country and a superpower in this short span. Ghana and other African countries can learn from China by focusing on rapid industrialization to lift their citizens out of poverty

Good road and rail infrastructure
Cheap energy cost
Translates to Good economy, more jobs, great services & products.
After this any resonable tax would be easily paid by the citizens. Before this any policy or tax would always face opposition.
