— —- What at all do you want in life?
Your father E. A. Mahama, a minister in Nkrumah's CPP, sent all his children to the North to have FREE EDUCATION fraudulently because he was living in Accra and had the means to pay. You had free education from Class ONE thru University level. You were on Government scholarship to Russia. You became Assembly man, an MP, a deputy Minister, a Minister, a Vice President, a President: all in that ascending order. You presided over the MOST CORRUPT GOVERNMENT in the history of Ghana. In fact, you were yourself deeply involved in all ACTS OF CORRUPTION from Aeroplanes buying to infinity. You stole so much so that a judge described your government as CREATE, LOOT and SHARE.
John Mahama, What at all do you want again in this world of Ghana?

All of them will go back to their vomits. Give us a break. Wounds that Bawumiah and Nana have inflicted on Ghanaians with poverty and hardship, they shouldn't be thinking about breaking the 8 in their dreams. Apuuuuuu

You are right ..this program is a SCAM for VOTES....A SCAM, to relocate people from the northern territories and other areas so they can 'dilute' the voting population of these areas. Again, i agree kayayei have been assisted time without number by NGOs, give free tools, equipment, monies etc. they indeed take all these goodies and head up to their hometowns. they give the training assists to their relatives to sell rent out, and whatever fancies their imaginations. then they head back south with more of their kind. this program is an unsustainable scam.

Did you know what Mahama gave to these kayayei girls in 2015 ? He gave them head pans to carry their load and forever they will remain kayayei. Can you imagine this ? A visionary Dr Bawumia comes in and gives these young girls and women a future by teaching them how to make a better living by what they have learnt.

Mahama, give a woman a fish and she will always come to you for a fish. But teach a kayayei how to fish and you would have given her a livelihood and a purpose to live. Kudos to Our incoming President Dr Bawumia 2025 by the grace of God.

I am unsure why everyone use academic gowns nowadays. I thought it was meant for those who have gone through the academic system and are qualified and permitted to do so. I don’t mean any offence whatsoever but why would unqualified personnel use this gown? Couldn’t a different dress designed for them. I recognise they contribute a lot to our living. One reason we don’t respect education is that unqualified people call themselves expert and anyone uses any title he wants.

I don’t look down on anyone. You got me wrong. It is the use of academic gown that I thought was not appropriate. All over the world, academic gowns are given to those who have gone through the academic process. It is a bit unfair if anyone just use it. Yes I recognise they are very important and they should be helped. I prefer government spend money to help people like them rather than a thief stealing it.

Who would’ve imagined Kayayei being empowered this way and given hope beyond their wildest dreams?

I bet u, all of these individuals will return to the kaya business. That is more lucrative than these so-called learned skills. With or without start-up capital given, they'll still return to kaya business. I doubt the quality of the training and how meaningful it was to these girls and women.
They could have been taken to their hometowns for proper establishment. Once they continue to stay in Accra, forget about what they were trained to become. They will continue to do kaya.

The money could have been spent to build a factory for them to work in. They can use their pay to rent their own accommodation and do evening classes if they want. We have loads of the said skilled people who can not even gain customers. The money could have been given to them to cultivate cotton and factory opened for them to make apparel and a factory to sow into supermarkets. This is called a visionary!

Every Ghanaian (whether NPP or NDC) wants a decent standard of living:
1) A JOB, FOOD, CASH, LOW INFLATION, ETC.
2) HOUSING, WATER, ELECTRICITY, ETC.
3) EXCELLENT ROADS AND TRANSPORT LINKS
4) QUALITY SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS
32 years of party politics (NPP/NDC) have failed to deliver the above. This is due to the incompetence and corruption of the leaders of these parties.
NOW is the time to try something new:
AN INDEPENDENT LEADER (HE OWES ALLEGIANCE ONLY TO GHANA, NOT PARTY):
ALAN JOHN KWADWO KYEREMATEN
Luckily, Alan is:
1) COMPETENT
2) VISIONARY
3) INCORRUPTIBLE
Moreover, Alan will form a Government like the BLACK STAR TEAM. This will include the best Ghanaian talents from Parliament (ALL PARTIES), outside Parliament and abroad.
THIS IS GHANA'S BEST OPPORTUNITY

Complete joke! Why waste money to buy academic gowns after a 4 week training? This is more of a political show which is will not get anywhere. Even people in these businesses who have years of experience and are well-established are closing down their businesses. The situation our there is tough, and I can bet my last pesewas that in the next 2 to 3 months, 90 to 100 percent of these girls will find themselves at ground zero, and may return to doing Kaayayo business to survive. The whole exercise is not realistic; rushing these illiterate and semiliterateels girls through this just for political gain will not be helpful to the girls. They will face the reality of isolation, inexperience and inadequate skills to survive in this collapsed economics environment.

You will train 600 kayayei from two hostels, then what? Will that stop more people from becoming kayayei? Why has Bawumia not cared to address the issues that cause people from those particular areas of the country to engage in kayayei activities? Nothing but a gimmick timed to be unloaded just in time for the elections, just as Aplanke Bawumia commissioned his stomach academic to write a worthless book that was recently released showering him with false praises. Aplanke Bawumia and his Julor House team are running out of lies and deceptions.
