Prof, don't get it twisted, Togo's educational quality is higher given the same qualifications than Ghana. Togolese are very smart academically. They're the majority workforce behind real estate in Ghana.

After Nkrumah we have not had any leaders who have been selfless, who have vision, commitment and the ability to inspire ordinary Ghanaians to greater things.
After Dr Nkrumah we have been cursed with "SELFIE" leaders who have only been preoccupied with accumulating wealth for themselves, lining the pockets of their relatives, friends and foreign accomplices. Basically they have been DAYLIGHT ROBBERS robbing Ghana blind. They are NATION WRECKERS who with the help of foreign plunderers have systematically stripped the Nation of its assets and brought Ghana to its knees. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

This is hundred percent true. And they are the most corrupt workers in the world. All what they know about is demonstration always being supported by greedy politicians. What is sad is you will go to an office and you will be told the official there has gone to church or on the phone for several hours. Very shameful.

The truth is, chines and other construction companies cheat workers with bad pay. So most ghanaians masons carpenters don't like foreign construction companies thus they resort to import togolese with a slave pay. Local mason prefer local contractor for they pay fine. This is not about productive or expertise but about pay. Foreign company pay 70 ghc local contractor pay 120 ghc so Ghana mason won't go to foreign owned construction company. Thus they go to Togo for half baked mason to cheat and train them.criminal Ghana leaders they take bribe from construction companies and allow them them to cheat workers then turn round to say ghanaians are not productive.

Prof. I think you are right. What also works is when you take the Ghanaian artisan away from his locality to a different place eg accra artisans to work at cape coast etc. Try it. It works better.

TRUE, TRUE, TRUE. A friend once employed a Ghanaian tiler and the tiles he laid were not nice at all. The next time, the same friend employed a Togolese to lay tiles at one portion of the house and this Togolese did a marvelous job. Again, the Togolese was more honest than the Ghanaian. Ghanaian artisans are mostly THEVES. Prof. Adei is 100% right.

One of the reasons why Ghanaians seriously underperform at home and outperform when they go abroad is because their first loyalty is always to their families friends and cronies rather than to their Nation.So when they are elected into office their first priority is to rip of the country ,loot national assets ,take bribes in order to enrich themselves and their cronies. Extremely few of us have the vision and discernment to see that building up the nation of Ghana through dedicated ,unselfish service is the best way to ensure that our future generations (including our own children, our children's children etc) get to live a stable and peaceful life in a prosperous Ghana.

We like to lie to our selves that some how when Ghanaians go abroad they are magically more ethical and work harder. This is a false! The reason why Ghanaians working abroad seems to be better on average than Ghanaians in Ghana is that most stupid and lazy ones don't even get the chance to travel abroad! Its the same phenomenon as Nigerians in the US are among the most educated racial group. This is not because Nigerian is the most educated country in the world but rather it's very hard for Nigerians to migrate to US UNLESS you are very well educated.

The reason why most of our prayers to God go ununswered is because we fail to understand how God blesses people and indeed nations.Gods laws regarding prosperity are universal .What do I mean? Even those who do not believe in Him or have little time for Him when they apply these principles it works for them.This is irrelevant whether this wealth makes them happy or note.WE ARE TALKING HERE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ACCUMULATE WEALTH THE NORMAL LEGITIMATE WAYS (NOT DECEIVING OTHERS,ROBBING OTHERS OR EARNING MONEY THROUGH DUBIOUS MEANS).
ALL THAT THE LORD GIVES US ARE OPPORTUNITIES AND IT IS UP TO US TO SEIZE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. Too many Ghanaians expect God to drop morsels into their mouths just like birds do when their chicks hatch. NOOOO! If we want that promotion, if we want that high paying job , if we want our business to grow and ask God's help then he will likely give us opportunities to work hard , acquire new skills through disciplined study and make personal sacrifices. THE REASON OUR BUSINESSES DON'T OFTEN GROW IS BECAUSE MANY OF US LACK DISCIPLINE,LACK THE ABILITY TO POSTPONE ENJOYMENT IN ORDER TO ALLOW OUR PROFITS TO GROW. WE LACK PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE.WE NEVER PLAN STRATEGICALLY. WE NEVER ECONOMIZE BECAUSE WE LIKE TO SHOW OFF AND PRETEND THAT WE ARE RICHER THAN WE REALLY ARE AS SOON AS WE MAKE A LITTLE PROFIT.

Which most of them are not registered but rather operate by bribe and cheat citizen to cover the bribe money making the youth to suffer and starve that so called professor if I hire him as mason and pay him 70 ghc a whole day will he do? Or can he go to foriegn country as co a contractor and pay a mason 5 dollars a whole day? What a bunch of fools we have as leaders. Look at his stupid research. Do foreign contractors charge in cedi or dollars? They contract in dollars and pays your own citizen cedi and you say what? this are reason they bring in togolese to cheat them and make money. No about expertise but cheat ooooo cheat oo cheat.

That is what happens when too much emphasis is laid on certificates instead of creating enabling environment for hard work. Everybody is bossing expecting high pay, who will work hard? High degrees are rewarded more than hard work in this country. Until the narrative changes, Ghana as a country is going nowhere.
Technical and vocational educations are not even given the needed attention. Shame onto the leaders of Ghana. Public Service Commission has failed, shame!!

So is zoomliom also a foreign owned enterprise? You were complaining that it's the foreign owned construction companies that are under paying and cheating the Ghanaian construction workers that why they are not working hard. Now you are saying zoomlion worse. So don't you think the pay or numeration is reflective of the local market rates? GHANA operates with a free economy system. No one is forced to work if you think the salary or pay is too low. There are people that are highly paid due to their skills. Many artisans in fact started their own business and make good fortune. Stop blaming others and focus on your own work attitude and skills. Your way of thinking is what makes our country under developed. 40 years ago most Asian workers are poorer and get paid much less than Ghanaians. They didn't complain but worked hard to build their country.
