Nonsense. Colonial name. Because of mental slavery, you lost your name. I blame the Fante's and the Ga's.

Nuhu, the man wasn't a Ghanaian to have a local name. He was from the west indies. How was he to have a Ghana name? Did you really read the article?

Good point. Instead of appreciating the contribution this man made to Ghana's foundation, Nuhu will rather resort to dissecting his name.

Shame on you. You don't even understand what you read. See how your ignorance has been exposed. So you thought West Indies is a town in the Central Region. Ebei! It is neither Ekumfi nor Gomoa.

Dear Mr Obeng,there are more extraordinary brilliant and hard working Ghanaians and Blacks and Whites around the globe who are willing to come to Macedonia to help.
But trust me you, few want to dare because of your newly acquired Profession; insults defamation of character assasination of Character and heavy effusion of political intolerance et al.
who wants to come,so his hard earned intergrity be soiled by busy bodies who won't attempt anything yet wants to bring anyone who attempt something down?
Funny enough those busy bodies have nothing to write home about nothing and those mediocre people are those you follow because in the words of Einstein thinking is hard that is why we criticise.
Some of us prefer to lend a hand, here so we create the opportunities cos here entice you with the $ to come and take up the menial jobs because that is what you crave for.
Sir,here in the US everyone is encouraged to lend a hand taking advantage of the opportunities thereon.
So we won't go out flaunting what we have done and can do we care about our reputation and will respect those who respect us.
Stop complaining until you recognise those who want to sacrifice and make things better you will reap what you sow!!
For now enjoy yourself.

I disagree with you. Many are unwilling to come and assist not because of the reasons you stated, but mainly because of the knowledge that they'll only end up frustrated and unproductive due to lack of needed support as well as uncontrollable corruption within Ghana government. When Ghana political officials are too preoccupied with looting, the last thing on their minds is any collaboration with persons coming to Ghana to with ideas that can benefit country. Nkrumah and his team had the vision to understand the needs of the country, and made great plans to meet those needs, Today's politicians can barely see past their belly buttons let alone give a damn about Ghana's future.
