How much was he worth? I mean assets and cash in the bank?
So what happened to the much touted bullet train from Accra to Ouagadougou?

Rex you have said it all. The nation wreckers, criminals, thieves and gangsters preferred a cathedral to a sensible project
He came and did some. May the lord be with him at all times.
HOW DO GHANAIANS EXPECT A THIRD--CLASS AZAA LAW DEGREE HOLDER TO UNDERSTAND DR. MENSAH'S CONCEPT IF NANO TECHNOLOGY AND RELATED INVENTIONS?
Go and ask is family..ok
With our mediocre minded leaders, great Ghanaians who yearned to help our motherland were never paid attention to, only lip service. Great minds, when they pass on, go with all these ideas. Nana Drobo comes to mind. Apostle o ...

Great submission. God bless you my brother
Oh same as Kofi Annan he was an Fante born in Kumasi but some illiterate monkeys animals shit eaters Ashantis think he's an Ashanti. Dead brains full of animals shit.
Sam the fool, I am sorry to insult a man but you're a disgrace to manhood. Can't you tell you're the only person who has deviated from the discussion and spewing such trash?
Let's always talk to issues devoid of tribalism. Sam don't deviate. Dr T.M. RIP
The fact that Ashanti region is the stronghold of this government does not mean that they should be held responsible for the failure of this government.
I think they have now grown wiser than the tribal voting they were do ...

Tribal voting, indeed.
In the Ashanti Region, most of our elections produced around 70:30 results, and we call that tribal. What would we call places where results were of the order of 95:05? Would one be right to call that ...

What happened to NDuom and his banks in Ghana ?

You are very very very ignorant. The phone you used to send this message is part of the benefits we are all enjoying. Don't be lazy. Research about him and find out more.
The environment in our country Ghana is conducive for anybody with better ideas, technology and skills to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.
Kai…for Sam George and Okudzeto Ablakwa to disrespect and insult him.
You are benefiting now indirectly from his Fiber Optics fast processing.If he was to be in Ghana, plolitics and political indecisions would have swallow him up.

The man was genius!
