Are suggesting that the drownings that occurred in New Orlean were caused by the victims' inability to swim?

A patriotic Ghanaian Wrote in response to a Busia and NPP hater and said:
"What tribalist trash! How old were you in 1969? Busia’s government in terms of structured and sustainable national development is still one of the best in the annals of Ghana’s troubled history. Of course people like you will never see any good thing in anything any Akan does in Ghana.
1. Busia’s Rural Development agenda has never been equaled and it will take someone with courage and foresight to come anywhere close to it. It was Busia’s government that extended pipe-borne water to most villages in Ghana, including some really wretched ones in the Volta Region. That is what led to the elimination of guinea worm (which was causing annual havoc in most parts of the country), in Ghana.
2. His government also wiped out cholera, which is now causing havoc in our national capital.
3. The construction of polyclinics, district hospitals and health posts was meant to free Korle Bu and Okomfo Anokye Hospitals for research, teaching and the treatment of more serious cases.
4. Mass-scale feeder road construction began with Busia, and I witnessed it at Akatsi, Sogakope, Hohoe, Ho Dome, Ho Banque, and many other places, even in the Volta Region.
5. Busia’s cottage industry programme would have created employment avenues in most rural districts in Ghana, to curtail the now unbearable and uncontrollable urbanisation with names like Sodom and Gomorah, Agege, etc, with the resultant “ghetoisation” in almost every town in Ghana.
6. Ever heard of Odorkor/Dansoman Housing Estate development, with replicas in all the regional capitals, Adeweso at Koforidua, Low Cost at Winneba, etc? It was Busia’s idea.
7. How about the major sewerage and drainage system in Accra, which would have connected all homes to a central sewerage system? The remnants of the abandoned trenches are still around.
8. Your reference to education is really dishonest and illiterate. Up until 1969, about 60% of the lecturers in the three original universities of Ghana were foreigners. Their emoluments were paid in dollars. Their families were entitled to at least one paid holiday a year. It was Busia who began the “Ghanainisation” of university lecturers. Everyone who graduated with a first class or second class upper was sent away through Ghana government, Commonwealth or specially arranged American scholarships, to pursue MScs and PhDs and return to Ghana, to lecture. Had the idiot Acheampong not derailed that policy, Ghana’s universities would have been among the leading universities of the world. Many of those who were trained under that scheme are now professors in major universities of the world. Quite a number of those who returned to Ghana have been vice chancellors and some are deans!
9. In 1970, all three universities together had an intake of less than 13,000 students, but the state was still struggling to give everyone free education. Can you imagine what the situation would be today, with 30 or 40,000, when 50% of the state’s treasury is looted and shared among a handful of families? Busia’s loan scheme opened the doors to people like you who were not so bright, but still could go to university, on a loan and pay later, which is what pertains everywhere in the world. What is wrong with that?
10. The JSS system that was botched by your murderer tribesman was meant to transform Ghana’s education policy and make it relevant to national development with vocational s and technical schools and more polytechnics. It began with pilot schools at Kinbu in Accra and others in Kumasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast, and other regional capitals. Their products were to be monitored over a seven year period as teachers were gradually upgraded or specialised, to take over the primary and middle schools. Can you think of any country in Africa that has such a system?
11. Did you ever hear of “two rabbits=equal to one cow in one year?” It was a programme of rabbit rearing, which took off in many parts of Ghana like a storm. It was meant to supplement our low protein intake as a nation. If your low life compatriot Newlove Mammatah had not mismanaged the programme as your lot usually does, it would be changing lives in Ghana today. It was under that programme that poultry farming ballooned in the Central and Ashanti Regions only to be destroyed by your armed tribesman.
12. The Aliens’ Compliance Order enabled many Ghanaians to go into trading in every corner of Ghana. See how the Chinese now control everything in Ghana, including the trade in “buronyi weewu.” The Nigerians are back with a vengeance, buying everything in sight, with cash! And so are the Lebanese. Under the programme, long-standing foreign resident were supposed to regularize their stay. Like the Asians in Uganda, because they used their status to smuggle diamonds and hard currencies out of Ghana, they did not bother. Do you really fault a leader of a bankrupt nation for trying to safeguard local commerce, in order to better the lot of his people?
13. Appollo 568? Hahaaa Have you heard about the rot in the NSS today? It is the same with the civil service. That was what Busia was trying to curb. After Kotoka and Harley filled the civil and public services with every middle school drop-out from the Volta Region, they were as over-bloated as the clueless Mahama has done today. Anybody who takes over in 2017 will have to trim down the public purse, if our overlords the IMF do not do it now.
Come on buddy, if you really hold a PhD in something worthwhile, there are records in the archives that you can research and educate yourself about Ghana, instead of just swallowing the socialist nonsense hook, line and sinker
Good day!"

Are you haunted by the "Apollo 568" debacle?
Well trained technocrats were cast aside on purely vindictive reasons.

A hippopotamus walks along a flooded street in Tbilisi on Sunday after zoo animals escaped their enclosures following heavy flooding in the Georgian capital. Tigers, lions, jaguars, bears and wolves are reportedly on the loose. Authorities have told residents to remain indoors for their own safety. Some of the animals have been captured by police while others were shot dead. At least eight people have drowned and several others are missing as a result of the flooding.

My brother. Do not day dream. Fllod waters of the kind we saw in Accra is not one in which any one will show swimming prowess. Have you noticed that the water for swimming competitions is always neat and calm? The floods were dirty, swift flowing water that came with lots of debris and could carry even cars away. Not even American Michael Phelps could have survived them swimming. Please stop the jokes.
