What have you done for Ghana besides your incessant corruption and pettiness? The parliament where you have been for years is still a rubber stamp to the executive. Additionally, there is no objectivity in your parliamentary deliberations except partisan baloney all the time while Ghana has been engulfed by seemingly solvable problems.

I can see the point you're trying to make but why do we always want to blame somebody else?
The west or the rest of the world will not rest Africa till such time that we show real sign of progress.
Violence didn't break out after the so called judgement of the petition all because of one true democrat,rational and peace loving person(Nana Addo Danquah).Had the judgement been other way round,we would be witnessing something different now.
It's true Nana and his NPP have handled the situation very well but based on other issues,in terms of developments and many more,what's there to write about?
So instead of trying to blame others,let all of us Africans accept the fact that we have contributed little or nothing to the development of this world.
I for one will like to see Africa makes real impact in this world in every aspect of life but first the BEGGING of our leaders must stop.

Yaw, I beg to differ from your blame of Africans for their woes.

Yaw, I beg to differ from your blame of Africans for their woes.

The truth of the matter is OWNERSHIP OF MEDIA TO TELL A STORY.

Who owns the CNNs, BBCs, AL JAZERAs, Newsweeks, Guardians and all the world-wide circulated media? Mention one media from Africa comparable to any of these!

Know also that COMPETITION in all forms determines the survival of an international media. Do African media houses have the capabilities for such competition?

Lastly, know that a typical western media still holds unto the age old definition of news - that 'news is when bites dog, not when dog bites man', implying that the unusual(and by extension, bad and negative things) make news.

If you want western media attention don't get right. If you want western media attention go after each others throat. If you want western media attention; live like in the stone age.

Ever heard of Latin quarter song in the 80's

I'm hearing only bad news from Radio Africa,
I'm hearing only sad news from Radio Africa

Why do you want to get praised for something that is self-evident? And why do need a pat on the shoulder for a foolish case? Bagbin, does Ghana need a shoulder to cry on? Hell no! But if you want all eyes on Ghana then get it wrong and the international media will be there in their droves within a second.

Bagbin stop begging for compliments; that is bootlickung.

Nana Ansa, I have the impression, on reading your two (repeated)postings that you didn't read Mr Bagbin's comment very well or that you DIDN'T really understand what he said. Pity and so sad !

Who told you that these "proboscis monkeys" and "Orangutans" want to see any success story from Africa, let alone publish it.

You're daydreaming!!

It is up to Africans to continue to work hard to establish their own media and tell the world their achievements and true histories. By the way, this is one of Gaddafi's main agenda for which he was killed.

If all African leaders will unite, I don't think they can easily kill one let alone all.

Keep on fighting Africa! If we don't relent our effort, we shall definitely win at the end of the day and that will bring pride to all Africans again.

Yes, the western media should report more on Ghana and expose the insidious corruption that has infested the political, economic and social fabric of the country.

Talk, western media talk and expose the corruption in government irrespective of which party is in power.

Bagbin is right.

All the West want to publish about Africa are hunger, wars, coup-d'etats, destruction and all the vices of the universe.

They hate it, when something goes on smoothly and peacefully in Africa.

Whereas people NPP and NDC were fighting verbally and ready to punch one other over an alleged election fraud, foreign countries knew that there was no case and that NPP was only not satisfied with the results of the elections.

They understand the mentality of African politicians and considered the whole case as a typical African affair not worth paying attention to.

Ghana is well known in Africa especially in West Africa. but outside Africa only about 10 percent have ever heard about Ghana. That's a fact. Even in Africa only the educated ones and soccer zealots know Ghana. The rest confuse Ghama to Uganda.In America they confuse Ghana to Guyana.
Western media did not even talked much about the election petition apart from bbc.
Kwame Nkrumah and the black stars are the only ones to market Ghana well.

Bagbin always talks sense, so bad Mahama thinks his national service boys are better than him.
