    Are there no moslems in Ghana who drink alcohol?

    Is that the answer you would give in an exam for an F Grade? The question is legitimate and addressed to Muslim Scholars so let those who know the Quran answer it.

    I thought you will chide the likes of Kwame Despite who are wasting their Illgotten wealth on cars rather than following HE Alhaji Dangote's footsteps. You are a fool to misinterpret the help in creating jobs for an imbecile ...

  • Anane 7 months ago

    His poor father is minding his business, not bragging all over the place and telling poor men to shut up for only he to talk. Tell that braggart to invest in manufacturing like Dangote, not buy and sell!

    Good. We all should support so we can truly become the preferred destination for such capital-intensive ventures.

  • Kojo Talons 7 months ago

    do some little research on this Dangote Sugar... all documentations including land acquisition was fully secured under Nana Addo. the lapse in starting the factory was for resources (equipment and manpower) mobilisation.

    So the idiot collapsed the indigenous sugar factory and allowed the establishment of a foreign-owned concern. Such economic blasphemy!

    This sugar factory should not be 100 percent owned by Dangotte. Ghana Government should have 50 percent share.
