I don't know that cheep crap, -but it is very important to address the issue in context more than the messenger.
to begin with,
1 let anybody who thinks like such a crap understand that-
there are people who seek law degrees but would never practise law- eg is me

2. there are people who has PHDs in Accountancy but will never seek jobs in that field.
the list could goes on and on

the important lesson here is- some people seek knowledge to equip themselves , to get more understandings in their sphere of personal or family protection but not for materialism.
that is why I agree with Randy - that
if you look at backgrounds of people who think like this crap, you could see poverty. so such a persons interest in life is just do anything to survive.
if you come here in Europe or goes to USA- are there not many poor people there ?
why do their government still take the taxpayers money and donate to other countries ? instead of giving it to the poor to become Rich ?
"That is reality and opinion "
there is noway any sensible person would compare knowledge and materialism

eg
Bill Gate is a businessman and could raise billions of money within a month but his Teacher who teaches him could hardly raise even $20k a month
All over the world the good schoolers whose knowledge has impacted the transformation of this planet were not wealthy in materialism but was rich in knowledge. This brings Ghana as a country into the picture-$
why are we facing povertic challenges ?
it is a broad question that need all hands on Desk
I have got a chance to watch some young guys who called themself *Buzzstop* these young guys are cleaning the street of Accra with no modernised tools- so I ask my self
what is the work of a MINISTER, MMCE or DCE, ?
what are their plans to make sure the cities are clean ?
if they don't have plans for that do they deserve to hold those positions ?- here Randy comment comes in again
The reality and opinion of the minister or MMCE or DCE
is different from what the people need.
it is high time The people wake up and ask for their legitimate rights , their benefits as a citizen Of GHANA
here in Europ
why is it that any little thing a Ghanaian would deem it as normal becomes a big issue in the Media circle or in the government circles ? it is all because the citizens are raising their opinion to force it on the Government to make their opinion a Reality of the Government.
why do some countries have free Visa for their citizens to other countries but not all countries ?
it tell you that some citizens raise the opinion to force the government to sign an MOU with some countries so that their citizens could at least travel with free visa for at least a month and vis.versa
$
this brought the reality for the government to announce it intentions with
1 conditions- that if you are given a free visa ,when you visit that country you must return so that the confidence could grow for other citizens of your country.$
I want to ask
how many Ghanaians would return if you are given a free Visa to USA our UK ? but the UK or the USA citizen would return to his country just to make sure that the MOU his government has signed won't be I jeopardy .
if we set our priorities Rights as a country
nobody would compare Ghana to such cheap things.

I give that boy only 20 or 30 years , he would regret for denouncing his Ghana passport.
Ghana migration should take a big note of this-
That if you denounce Ghana as your country of birth, you won't get Ghana passport back

You claim tontslk about reality bs opinion but do you really present opinion? Its true there are poor people in Netherlands nit the social protection is alot better. You dont meed mich money to school or seek health care. The poverty rare there is lower. uou said their govt give aid nut you forget its kot free lunch.
When they give the so call aid
1. They insist you use contractor's from thrir country
2. Buy goods, drugs etc from them
3. They channel that aid through ngo from their country.
So while they have technically given you aid, almost all the money goes back to that country in the form of employment for it's nationals, and the purchase goods and services.
They also use it as leverage to rip us off our resources or stop us from getting better contracts from rival nations.
Its true when he makes money, he woll wish je was in ghana bit that will be only after he's made money. Without the money je wont want ghana.
You also seem to believe phd means knowledge which is mot necessarily so. The emphasis is on the PhD thesis after the masters degree sonin terms of knowledge there is not much difference between a PhD and and mphil holder. Also note some phd are purely by research so no additional course work after masters. You attend seminars and read papers. I dont need a PhD to read papers or conduct good research. Pjd is mot always about knowledge. Besides thst knowledge is in a very narrow area.
You can't tell me also that money is not issue. Even bill Gates son needs to make more money so if he does PhD je expects to make kore money. Why are our lecturers jot content with their salaries? Most did the ohd in order to teach and make money.
Thats why you see so many profs accepting to be heads of state agencies jot related to their area of expertise. PhD wont pay the bills. Money will.
Uou cant be successful in any venture without being very knowledgeable and intelligent in that area. The lack of a formal degree shouldn't and cannot take that away from you

I don't know why people are up and arms with the guy's statement. There is no sense in what he said so leave him alone. As a Dutch citizen what work is he doing over there? Apart from saying he can easily obtained USA passport, what other opportunities was he able to mention. Again, who told him that it only those who travelled outside are able to make it in life. Nonsense. Many people have not travelled outside this GH, they are making it big . Nkwasiasem.

The guy may be sensible than you.He can use his Dutch passport to work hard make monies come down to Ghana and buy a PhD from any of our universities like what Randy and others did.Many Ghanaian PhD holders are not intelligent if you care to know they bought it.The guy never compared a Dutch passport to a Dutch PhD bcoz he understands the value of a PhD holder in a developed country.

You accept PhD and work in radio station as a presenter. Please let know your pay. Yes PhD pay at radio station and let compare it to Kofi Gab toilet cleaning pay, the one lesser is the most useless. Now let come to your passport , how many countries can you use those 2 by 4 PhDs especially those from uds, winneba, gimpa to access. As for legon PhD is a little bit standard and so is knust and ucc but for the rest dieer they are borla, I bet you those having those PhD is a crap. One thing you must note is that kofi gabs didn't say PhD from England or UK or America or even south Africa but was specific about Ghana, yes Ghana who is abound with poor intellectuals whose only skills is to go on strike for just common research allowance which is only 200 Ghana cedis , tells you a PhD from Ghana in indeed worthless and it is a disgrace to have one. This is the bitter truth. PhD outside Ghana are far far better and superior to the lazy and miopic academia that keep churning out those rubbishes called PhDs especially winneba and gimpa. Very SAD.

Randy Abbey and the patrons of NIBS are the reason why PhDs from Ghana are being downgraded. Dr. Randy Abbey's PhD from NIBS will not even qualify for an MA thesis even from some Ghanaian Universities. NIBS has become a cheap avenue for politicians and degree thirsty CEOs and media practioners to obtain cheap PhDs. Kindly ask all NIBS PhD holders to publish their theses online, and the quality will not match a long essay in some universities.

Hmmm, l agree with you Randy, but is the majority of the messes don't see how the intellectuals are impacting positively on their lives . There is the tendency to think the Ghanaian turned Dutch citizen. We must admit most of the corrupt, mismanagement and bad politics, loot , stealing going on in our public services, department and agencies are committed by well educated citizens. So if appears in Ghana people acquire just to cheat their fellow less privilege in society.

do you blamed the PHD holders for the failure of this country ? the answer is no
let us take this Akuffu Addo NPP administration as an example

if you appoint family and friends to form a government , and the government failed in it policies , does it mean that the PHD holders are not impacting on the development of this country ?
appointing somebody like Ernest Owusu Bempa as the PRO of Ghana Gas- just ask yourself what are his qualification to hold that position. such a fool was appointed to GH gas because he insulted people who hold different views against Akuffu Addo. so if such a person could not deliver, does it mean that we don't have intellects in Ghana who could do that job perfectly ?

our problem in this country is the politics of deceptions
the winner takes all scenarios .
when the Free SHS policy was enrolling, academics to the Government to do more engagements before rolling out the policy- did the government listen ? NO

so what have to voice out as a country is that
let us use our intellectuals , let us engage our universities to define a roadmap for the youth, for the job opportunities, and the benefits of our rich mineral resources in this country.
There is a disconnect between our school, universities and the government policies.
JOB opportunities must be created but must not be gifted.

you cannot blame PHDs if the government don't want to tap their acquired Knowledge to develop the country

Why are you people getting worried about this guy?. He was so happy of getting the Dutch passport. Not every job that guy can get in that country. He is just a holder of Dutch passport citizen but not original by birth. The name Ghana still appear inside that his Dutch passport which is PLACE OF BIRTH OR COUNTRY BY BIRTH. He is just a village boy making himself happy because he is out of this shit in Ghana.
