Old boy economist, u were neglected by nana addo. U are boot-licking bawumia, hoping he will appoint u into a position if he wins. I hope u have life to see that. U will understand it in your grave.

Blessed are those who are not politically biased to basic things and they shall understand the Godly vision and global impacts embedded in the 24-hour economy.

Bro Abu. You are right oooh but you forget some small thing. Capital is where. Do you know our Interest rate now. GDP to debt ratio? Our credit rating as a country? The hair cuts that have been going round. Please don't tell me addo did hair cuts but the causes of it started even before mahama but this is where we are. If you are referring to FDI why would a foreign investor find investment attractive in Ghana other than the usual mining and staff like that. What can a clueless mahama do to attract them

Senility and dementia has certainly set in for Mr. Pianim, a man I respect so much. With a German wife, having lived abroad for so long and with his economic background, I am surprised this is coming from him. Didn't Mahama fix dumsor? So if your AKUFFO government has messed it up again, can't you trust Mahama to fix it to fuel the 24-hour economy policy which has dealt a debilitating and a devastating sucker punch to the entire NPP? Trust Mahama to deliver. He has his foibles but he is a hundred times better than AKUFFO ADDO and Bawumia combined.

Father Frankie, sometimes you dey talk sense but not all the time. Mahatma had a car but no petrol so he bought another car with petrol and when the petrol run out he bought yet another car with petrol. But he could not afford to keep buying cars with petrol rather than just filling the tank. All NPP did was to buy the gas to power our turbines and that is not rocket science but somehow the inventor of 24 hours could not grasp that. Running a country is not about wishing for things. You do things to give you results. What is mahatma your god going to do to bring about a 24 hour economy or massively increase our production capability. Tell us that and stop this parrot business. If like I get cat I go make him eat this parrot because he dey make too much noise.24 24 24 24 24

How would this ex convict understand the 24 hour economy? Your name is matemeho, you always pretend not to understand anything. He is suffering from senility and dementia. Ghana would have been competing with countries like Singapore and Malaysia. These matemeho guys thwarted every effort by Kwame Nkrumah and eventually killed him.

THE 24HR ECONOMY IS A SCAM! The NDC have realized it, but they can’t drop it. Abandoning the idea is like scoring an own goal. They have realized that it doesn’t work like the way they thought. It shows their level of intelligence: clinging on to a slogan without understanding it. But it’s now too late to abandon it. It would be a big political suïcide. Good luck next time!

you guys need to stop the stomach hypocrisy and face the reality,
where we are as a country , we need Mahama to clean the mess this government has created.
I am not expecting anything apart from restoration of the lost faith , integrity , and the impunities that this Akuffu Addo and Bawumia has brought to our government system.
if Mahama is able to restore the dignity and confidence in our government and judicial system, and do everything possible to make sure all abandoned projects are brought back to completion. and make sure that the internet system move from the normal slow pace of 2G to at least 4G and affordable.
Ghana at least would move up in the economic radar

John Mahama is the only one in Ghana to make Ghana a Democracy.
Ghanaians will not have elections if John Mahama didn't stand up to represent opposition. John Mahama know he is the Past and NDC members can not get anyone else to challenge Bawunia.
Ghanaians were practicing 24/7 Economy before John Mahama was born. Go to the country boarders at night you will see 24/7 Economy at work. Night clubs and so many places are 24/7.
John Mahama is a Dead Goat.

Policy responses like the ones you are outlining now will deliver significant benefits to the Economy. The 24-hour economy is already in operation and these policy interventions would unlock more benefits.

With these intended interventions, the eminent Economist should understand why boosting the 24-hour economy is important to address some pressing national issues.

How can you understand it when the person who proposed it does not understand it himself. Even NDC communicators are shamefully confused and giving out different interpretations of this policy.

You can never understand it . But the poor jobless Ghanaian understand it better. If a steel manufacturing company employs 20 workers to work during the day, it can also employ additional 20 workers to work during the night because of low production cost. The local demand is there. We can export whatever we produce.
