    Do you remember Akufo Monkey Addo diving with the agility of a cat to grab a brown envelope containing $40 000 mid air in his office? Do you think such a goalkeeper will let this ball pass? Then you are mad

    Not a single country has developed in Africa after all these years of foreign aid. We will not be better off or worse off without foreign aid

    That's what the imbecile Donald Trump calls The Act of a Deal. He hold the gun to your head and forces you to agree. When you cow to him, he calls it a deal. That what makes him think he is a dealmaker.

    We're a proud country. This shows His Excellency will sign the LGBTQ bill once parliament passes it, regardless of the expected pressure and blackmail from the West.

    The US CANNOT BE TRUSTED. If Donald Trump really wants to assist in promoting global health, the US must rejoin as member of the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. Kudos to the government FOR REJECTING the dubious health deal.

    But Trump already has an Air Base in Ghana? Who sold it to him? Was it not Mahama?

    @Abokobi, you could've done a little research using your phone and you would've known it's your favourite Akufo Addo who took peanut to grant the US access to operate a military base in Ghana and the condition is such that, t ...

    Why do we even have to get money from outside for our health issues? Why are we always relying on the west for help instead of cutting the numerous V8s for our leaders and use the money for something important? Hmm

  • NPP WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT - Ghanani 4 hours ago

    An NPP government would certainly have signed this agreement without the knowledge of ghanaians. That is the difference between the NDC and the NPP. The latter is just a proxy for the imperialists.

    Of course, the incompetent one rejected the offer. The money wasn’t enough to get 10% out for his “sidekick” Ibrahim Mahama.
