  This is equal to allowing heavy trucks from Burkina and Niger to ploy our roads, cause congestion, damage the roads for free. When are we going to impose heavy tolls on these trucks to repair the roads?

  Hahahaha a scientist you say? Was he here when we spilled the Volta dam and flooded the residents at the lower Volta? Was there been any compensation paid to anybody? Anyone is free to talk.

  The Burkinabes will never have sat down and watch for Ghana to continue to flood their farms and communities with this spillage without taking action if the shoe were to be on the other foot. Look at how hostile they treated our egg exporters from Bono Region recently and get a clue on how they would have treated us. The seized several trucks of eggs from Ghanaian traders in their country and destroyed them after accusing the traders baselessly of exporting unwholesome eggs to their country when they could have just simply allowed the trucks to return to Ghana with the eggs. Our leaders are stupid and unpatriotic. They have allowed our farmers to suffer for so long. For so long, I have been wondering why our government over the years have failed to take legal action on that country over their reckless spillage of the dam.

  Mahama will never pursue this. The three regional block military rulers are John Mahama's bed-mates. He pretends but cares less about Ghanaians.

  Stupidity in its simplest form, you are going to pick a fight with where most of your water resources are coming from. This is why we don’t have to take these so called educated people seriously. Why can’t we build a in Ghana to manage this crisis? The immediate past vice president lied between his teeth that the most prestigious talk about dam in the Northern Territory of the nation has been completed. The last time I checked, it doesn’t even exist. You see how stupid we are?

  I wonder why Ghana can't develop irrigation and mechanized farming methods with these water resources from Burkina Faso. Egypt and Ethiopia are engaged in a dispute over their shared water resources. You want to start a fight with a country where our water source is. Very soon, Burkina Faso will develop its Agricultural practices, and this water source will stop flowing to our country. It is a matter of time, wait and see.
