That's was the result of the "Aliens Compliance Order" policy of the UP government led by Dr Busia. When the Yoruba, Lebanese and Syrians who were masters of the commercial sector were expelled and our local merchants took over. To date, Ghana hasn't recovered from arbitrary price increases, high profiteering, flooding the market with fake imports from China and sales at cutthroat prices.

Not true. Shortage of Foreign Reserves with BoG and refusal of Late Gen I. K. Acheampong govt to sign on onto IMF pact of assistance caused this. There was no foreign currency to import most of these essential goods as we used to call them. Don't forget Acheampong is the only President of Ghana who did not borrow from WB or IMF during his 6 and half yrs. I remember at a point in 1974 he took Boxer D.K Poison purse in Japan to import Mackerel to Ghsna bcoz it was scarce.

Watch what happens to South Africa in the subsequent years, after the dust have settled on their misguided actions. The disruptions in their commercial channels are going to affect them for a long time to come.

Good old times people suffered from hunger for a short period of time in order to learn to be honest and law abiding, however, what do we see today?. Some Ghanaians engulfed with gargantuan amount of money with no one knowing the source of such wealth.

Just look at beauty of the chicks/ladies in their natural hair, those are the days you could freely and easily visit a girl you're courting in her house in presence of her mother. Today, most girls, jobless, don't have a place of abode, they sleep from men to men and their preferred places of "rendezvous " is the Malls where they plan to milk you dry because you agree to meet them there.

This looks more like 1983, not '73. I believe Ghanaians were more civilized then, until June 4th '79 .

Nations which citizens realize that they must endure some pain in order to succeed as a nation are doing better.
It is a shame that as we are unable to control our needs and expectations we go to countries that endure all deprivations to exist not as an extension of another country.
It's on record that in 1973 both the Asutsuare and Komenda sugar factories were in production.
I was in Accra and attended Emit Electronics for half of 1973 and left there to help dig the Dawhenya irrigation project then stopped schooling up till 1975.
