It makes me sick to my stomach when I read some of the comments written down here about this young man. This indicates how stupid some Ghanaian are. They failed to understand that hard work always pays off. If Mark Zuckerburg the FaceBook CEO and owner were a Ghanaian, people will say he has stolen government money. Fools, instead of been happy for him, they are tearing him up. This is plain jealousy and nothing else. You folks cannot analyze the fact that this man has business ventures in other places beside Ghana and they all paying off. To mention but few, he has ventures in Nigeria, Gambia, U.A.E.(Dubai)and China. Can Ghanaian worthless Cedis make him a billionaire he is? Ask yourselves. The guy is a Dreamer, good planner and a hard worker so give him a break. Never compare him to Acker Blay Mieza. Acker Blay was nothing but a crook and scam artist.

Agambire has become an expert at using the monies he so brazenly stole and continues to steal under various pretexts to buy politicians, journalists and showbiz personalities.

In the past few weeks alone he has been on a media blitz buying awards and putting out articles about expansion of his illicit business to other African countries.

For some reason, the main opposition party that is supposed to be questioning the government about their transactions with this THIEF seem to have become complicit in his schemes. You have leading NPP personalities joining their NDC friends to defend this shameless thief.

Who is protecting the interests of the Ghana? We are left at the mercy of fate. God save us.

If this boy does not end up in jail, I will encourage all civil servants to keep stealing as much as possible, because obviously the politicians on either side of the political aisle have no interest in protecting our collective interests.

We have no morals or ethics as a people and that is a dangerous recipe for disaster.

I hope you have the evidence to back this up. How would you survive a libel case on this?

Please make sure you arm yourself with facts and not "gossip" and hear say to judge others or make such 'sweeping statements' about someone who is probably working his sucks off to make it big.

I also hope there is not hint of envy and jealousy here. Fellow Ghanaians, let us celebrate success and learn from those who have made it rather than try to 'pull them down' by all means and at all costs.

There is enough evidence out there that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that this chap is a SCAM ARTIST of the most despicable kind. I have no iota of envy of such Ill-gotten wealth.

I make more than enough for me and my family to live comfortably and enjoy a few luxuries, and I will never take advantage of the poor to get ahead.

When can this corruption stop in Ghana? How did he make all this money to be able to donate so huge amounts to the various entities? And how was he able to get all these state contracts? The Kuffour, Mills, and Mahama administrations must be scrutinized over and over to find out where it all started. Ghana is the 6th most corrupt nation on earth. I trust no one, and I respect no leader in Ghana.

It's sad to hear this things happening in Ghana.I don't know whether our this current administration had sold their conscience for money, clueless or they have been cursed not to do the right thing. They are just in power to empty the nations coffers or throwing the nation's money away or they have share in whatever that rlg guy is doing? Mr. President, please wake up if you are sleeping, if rlg is a financier of ndc party at all, your involvement with him is too much.Our ancestors who toiled to build the country are crying in their graves and it's a curse. What kind of mismanagement is that.

The president, his wife, media yes men, parliamentarians except Kennedy agyepong has sold their birthright to this idiotic illiterate who has a big log that Ghana cannot carry. Just see him among people. Apparently he has surrounded himself with intentionally acclaimed thiefs from Nigeria, Gambia and within Ghana. He has more crass than class. None of the parliamentarians can diss him in public. Let them try. A little birdy claimed he has all of them filmed collecting money from his office and at home with laptops, phones and tablets. Let them dare him. As daft as they are, they are day in and out trooping offices of crooks, criminals, multinational companies, etc who have installed intelligent gadgets to capture them in their activities. Woyome has dare them. He is next daring them. The whole country needs to be sanitised by truly dedicated sons of the land. They are everywhere please use them. JM can do better without a gun, but my fear is, u cannot chop the hand that fed u. We are all watching.

Richard Branson, the Chairman of the Virgin Group is similar in many ways - gutsy risk taker, venturing into territory that others dare not. Look how successful he has been over the decades.

As Ghanaians, honestly we ought to applaud people like Roland Agambire, and tap into his skills especially in challenging the youth to 'dream big' and to follow their dreams (of course in the proper way). It is such a pity that some people (probably more out of envy and jealousy) choose to condemn and attempt to discredit this fine Ghanaian entrepreneur who continues to break the barriers and frontiers of business success. Well done Roland, we need more of your type to move our country forward adhering to Dr Kwame Nkrumah's 'can do' aspirations.

Zoobie-Zoobie, honestly I don't know very much about him except that his CV caught my eye and I have also read about his various accolades.

My understanding from one of his 'school mates' who seems to know him is that even in school he used to be business-inclined and would go and buy items and retail them among his fellow students. That is why I likened him to Richard Branson who started off selling music magazines and 45- records on a stall in London after leaving school at 14. See where Branson is today!!!

Surely in Agambire we have a similar story in Ghana worth (in my view) celebrating. Of course one prays that his business is clean and above board and one certainly also hopes that that indeed is the case.

Asongtaba Cottage Industries is nothing but a front for the misappropriation of national funds through GYEEDA/NYEP. I dare anyone free of political shackles and or with clear mind to look at the services they purportedly provide for Ghana’s relative to the money they collect to provide those services. Anyone in Ghana who thinks Ghanaians can continue to sustain families, at least family of four (4) on the income of basket weaving, youth-in films, cocoa spraying etc need their head examined. The national government, through NYEP/GYEEDA, continues to pump good money after bad money as they pretend to provide skills for Ghana's under-educated and uneducated youth in these fields that guarantee them living lives of the poverty and destitution for entire families and regions.
I know for a fact that the two skills that are important for nation building, carpentry and plumbing, are the very skills Ghana's government has refused to adequately fund. If in Europe, US, Canada etc national governments and their respective measures of economic activities depend on the building industry to drive their economies why would Ghana think the engine needed to pull us out of non-existing housing can come from hairdressing etc? There is no real training schedule in carpentry or plumbing that should be less than 18months but in Ghana we allow political short-sightedness to lure us into the false sense of accomplishment when we have carpentry, plumbing, hair dressing sewing and tricycle/small engine repairs scheduled for no more than 6month training. We pay highly for these services through Asongtaba and others like Zoomlion when in reality we are using them as fronts to launder scarce government money into the pockets of their sponsors, NDC and NPP.

Ghana needs effective tax system and revenue collection system. There are so many loopholes. But the private sector must flourish to help the State. The State cannot do everything. So we should not bring him down as in the case of others before him. We must eschew jealousy and sensational journalism.
I accept we need proper accountability, openness, transparency and effective and adequate governance systems

If history really repeat itself then certainly, June 4th and 31st December revolution will surely be repeated right here in Ghana in a more better organised and a proper massive people's spontaneous revolution that will more bloody and will not spare no criminal in our society.

Roland Agambire may be happy hiding behind his ethnocentric political connections and keep enjoying his Mahama backed stolen wealth but as day surely comes after night so shall he be made to account for his criminal activities very soon.

Ghana under the immoral corruptly criminal Mahama is like a home without a father in check and the whole country turned into chaotic institution of criminals where law and order is thrown to the dogs.

Agambire like Woyome is nobody but an arrogantly boastful criminal using his dubious political connections to rob the country.

Why is the BNI or the police not investigating the hoax guinea fowl and the fake afforestation projects that sent the national budget over the hills at 8.7 Cedis deficit?
