Most people still don't understand why Nkrumah sent Ghanaians to study in the Eastern Bloc countries and China. The answer is a simple one; her majesty the Queen of Britain refused to allow the govt of Ghana to send students to Britain to study. This is something no Ghanaian must forget. In those days a black person was not allowed to study in almost every state in the United States. Moreover, the Eastern Bloc countries allowed Ghanaians to study free of charge. The only problem was the language.

Idiots like you never cease to amaze. When a serious problem of national concern like the imminent collapse of the Cocoa industry is being discussed, a brain dead sycophantic clown like you comes in with nonsensical posts which make no sense. The NPP is destroying every sector of the Ghanaian economy, and instead of being worried about the situation, all you do is to behave like the usual NPP programmed brainless zombie whose political party buffoonery and ethnocentric bigotry takes preference over the national course. Please stop the nonsense and let Ghana be. The country needs to be rescued for the sake of the youth; anything less will lead to a doomed and chaotic future for all of us.

That is the legacy of a failed government; a government that is staunchly supported by the very people whose future is being destroyed. Perhaps the deserve it, but this is about Ghana, and we must all be concerned. Boateng Aidoo is a crook, having empowered his son through dubious contracts at the expense of the Cocoa industry. He has supervised the near collapse of the heartbeat of the nations major foreign exchange earner, a situation that could be catastrophic going forward. Nana Akuffo Addo, the quintessential reckless and incompetent character, being the deaf and dumb president that he is, sees nothing, hears nothing, and will say nothing as the cocoa sector continues its rapid decline into oblivion. Ghana needs redemption, and we need it now.

Sometimes I wonder whether the "doomsday predictors" stop to think about who will lose if theor predictions vcome true. So there are challenges facing the cocoa sector, and I would have thought that the key players in the sector would be forcreully advocating and suggesting practical solutions including what they themselves are doing to forestall collapse. Whichever government is in power the collapse of the cocoa sector bodes ill for the whole country especially those ehoe livelihoods directly depend on it. So I hope the Gruops'
message is not meant to be a veiled threat to the present government and a boost to the party hoping to win rhe next elections.

Thank you, my brother. Key players will not brainstorm to find answers to challenges but will loudly predict doom. When did this cynicism begin. Cry, Ghana, cry.

Cocoa sector collapse is like the Collapse of the Ghana Airways. From Rawlings to Dr Anane to past government to present day, Ghana Airways has not been restored. Oh what a pity.
Mr Boahen Aidoo comes from Wassa Akropong a heavily cocoa growing area and don't have any clue. It tells us how hydraheaded the problem of the cocoa sector is. From Dunkwa on Offin area and I can tell you production is down to its lowest ebb. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, JA Kufour did it why not now.

It has been said that Cocoa generate more funds which contribute heavily to our GDP. Cocoa sector should be invested more since is part of the backbone of Ghana. Is better the government do something about it or keep quiet and suffer the consequences.
