  This plagiarist minister is just an empty suit who is sleep walking us into signing the EPA.
  
  Reason is, he does not know squat, just marking time. Any serious minister will have done impact analysis of how EPA is going to affect us by now, how much it will cost us, what the cost-benefit analysis are to every sector of the economy etc. Nigeria has done theirs that is why they caused the delay of the sigining of the EPA by Ecowas members.
  
  In Ghana no such thing has been done, and none is under consideration, which tells me all this talk is a smokescreen; the strategically challenged John Mahama's NDC government is going to sign the EPA, willy-nilly, come October. How we ended up with such a bunch of jokers at the helm of affairs, only God knows. How in the world one can go into such far reaching trading and economic agreement without doing cost-benefit impact analysis is mind boggling. The Europeans have done theirs, so also has Nigeria, and the dimwits at the Flagstaff House are just wringing their fingers, completely comatose, clueless and crossing their hearts that God is in control. Haruna Iddrisu's stand is just blind trust, more or less he hopes the Europeans will do the thinking for us. What a bunkum minister. Is this all that the NDC can work with, plagiarists and wet ears? Anokwampo!

  We are all concerned and affected Ghanaians irrespective of tribe.The ndc execs are made up of different tribes all from Ghana.Their common denominator is incompetence and corruption.
  Tribes of origin is really a non factor.
  Let's criticize and challenge them constructively so we make a better impact.

  Why is the EU bent in sighning any trade Agreement with Ghana?They enslaved us,colonised us exploited and are still exploiting or rather looting us.They set the Prices for what we "sell" to them,are they now wanting to deverlop clouds on their horrible conscience by asking us to precent ourselves to them on a silver platter?If they mean it well with us,why don't they leave everything as it is,and hornestly trade with us,without any bürokratic trash,and pay us the rightfull Price for our products and raw materials, to have it running for some years,if afterwards it turns out to be all right with us,they can have the Fingerprints of all Ghanaians.Why are they hell bent to have our signature on a cat in the sack.After all they own us what one cannot Count in numbers,looting our Nation building Youngsters into slavery,our raw materials,our culture and much more.What are they scared of,after all they are the ones who install criminal sanctions on poor countries as they please,they are the ones who confiscate Banking amounts,moneys stolen from us and Keep them.Why cant they just give Africa a break, bullying is not the right methort,Africa will surely rise up one day on it's own and there will be no fooling with the most beutiful and giant continent in the middle of the Glob.

  It not the responsibility of EU to look out for Ghana. Ghana has to look out for itself. Unfortunately, we have incompetent President and Ministers running the country.

  When their interest(survival) is at stake, the Whiteman knows no morals as history depicts - just go back to the past and verify for yourself - from Columbus to the IMF. Either we Africans wake up and stand up for our interests or we will forever be taken for a ride by this gullible human species until doomsday, but why blame them ??? Our own elite has betrayed and is still betraying us for a piece of bread and butter.

  Another needless 'forum' to compel Africans to sign away their rights. The EU NEEDS Ghana, Ecowas, and many African countries to sign such agreements to guarantee its future markets. The facts n figures are there for all to see. Pray that some corrupt, inept, or selfish African does not sign us to this kind of self defeating agreements.

  These two are no exception. There are many other Ghanaian leaders using fake, honorary and other degrees obtained by plagiarizing the white man's works.
  
  The reason is why we have KNUST and others, yet we can't manufacture even a good car tyre or wheelbarrow tyres.
  
  It shows in the way we mismanage(d) every state asset.
  
  Action and reaction are always equal and opposite. There's no middle ground about this. Ghanaians are paying back big time for our crookedness.
  
  In Ghana, managing a STATE ASSET means CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE. THAT'S THE ONLY BUSINESS LANGUAGE UNDERSTOOD BY GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP.
