Oh dear Ghana,
When would we see the need to develop our own resources, for which we have lots of competitive advantage. The Prof WS Alhassan, a dairy cattle nutritionist, has now and suddenly become an expert on Biosafety. ...

Dear Paul Afful,
Sadly so, but this time it is not our politicians, but our technocrats (scientists) who are supposed to know better. I have lots of respect for Prof Alhassan, but NOT on this one. He could have advised bette ...

Cos we believe in Creation that GOD created everything and in no way we'll shift to silly Man-made crops.It's an insult to our Creator.
Anyone who believes in GOD and CREATION wld not advocate for GM crops.Some satanic worshipers are trying to challenge GOD's authority but Behold it wont work.
All these atheists and the disciple of satan want is to get rich ...

And do they really have enough data to care ???
These "intellectuals", is it that they don't know or they've been bribed? EU, with all their sci & tech, has said NO to GM. Why do we go for it? If the intellect of our "intellectuals" has failed, can't they try common sense?
Those bribed, empty-headed scientists, etc trying it should feed their families with the rice & cowpea for 10yrs as part of their trial. After they get the strange diseases, and the land is no longer arable, they'll then thin ...

A lot of European countries are banning GM foods and we are now going for it.Oh God,when is Africa going to learn?We are now going to buy the cancers and all type of diseases.

ghanaians are passive timid people who do not follow the words with action......i hate it
Thus is utter madness!
We do not need GM technology to become self-sufficient in food.
This technology is dangerous - it has caused cancer in rodents. New Zealand has banned it.
Why on earth are we allowing it in our ...
