This idiot and incompetent thief imposed on Ghanaians by Atuguba and Afari-Gyan is the most nonsensical individual I have see as a "leader".
This man has destroyed Ghana through his corruption, fraud, and incompetency and his incompetent appointees yet, he feels that mere IMF presence will ussher Ghana into a "full middle income status" and yet his non-thinking and illiterate followers are just jumping and jubilating because of this stupid pronouncement from this incompent and stupid thief turned thief. Sad for MAHAMA and his followers.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

To be happy when you can't produce to sell but base your economy on the bond market is a shame.
Look at the situation between the USA ,China and Japan. The USA sells or issue treasury bonds and China and Japan buys them. The USA pays interest on those bonds. China bought roughly 3.2 trillion dollars of US bonds.
The interest payments to China by the USA catapulted China to become the world second largest economy;
When you issue or sell bonds it means you are borrowing the money. You have to pay back that money with interest so I don't see how that can help Ghana.
Remember Kufour's $750,000,000 Eurobond issue with about 7.5 to 8.0 % interest payments. Isn't that part of the reason Ghana is broke today?
Bonds means I owe You (IOY)

2. U want one partner with who? Who is preventing ghana from succeeds? Isn't it thiefmen like you mahama, okujeto snd the rest? Who wants tonpartner with a nation with no rule of law, journalists are assaulted, women are rapd, kids cantgo tonschool, corruption and diseases everywhere, no reliable heslthcare, systems are totally broken down, no ethics, no electricity, water...I mean who the fuck will waste their money to partner with u. Mahama, will u allow any of ur kids to marry a madman at ankaful? Aren't u shamed speaking about ghana and imf at the un? I would be ashamed if I were you. Ghana should be aiming for more, not imf at 60yrs of age. Irresponsible, broke ass elder will get no respect from me. Bullshit!
No one should invest in this eurobond. Bonds are the most useless, worthless type of investment any person can make. The returns are too low and u will wait till ur grandkids have children before u realise any measurable return on ur investments. What ghana should do is get more businesses to list on thebstock exchange so ppl can invest in them. Make the business environment more transparent, low taxes and clean up corruption so ppl can have trust in the business climate in ghana. This will get more foreigners to also buy stocks in gh companies, foreign companies will come tonghsna and list on our stock exchange. Then, widen the tax bracket, trim down the public sector. Invest in children education. Invest in infrastructure project ts to create jobs and spending. Investing in local production and factories and impose high taxes on imports that aren't really necessary for development. U can do all these and have no reliance on information. But becos u are shady, lazy u prefer fast food money. U will soon residents what kfc will do to you. U asshole!

Listen to the foolish talk. When you came as Vice president, Kuffour had already placed Ghana into a middle income already. You and Atta Mills started by creating, looting and sharing coupled with borrowing to the most foolish extend with the result that Ghana has now become the most disrespected country on earth. So what is this foolish president talking about. Kwasea, let your brother sell the private jet he is using which was paid 1.5 million dollars to send 3 million dollar to the Black Stars in Brazil. A foolish man like you building a 500 rooming hotel in Dubai with Ghana's money and buying houses for all your stupid sons and daughters in South Africa, US, UK and China. Aboa like that thinking by bowing to IMF will send Ghana to a middle income earning country. A foolish thought to say the least.

Dear friend, this is not tribalism at all, you see I honestly don't like the idea when reviewers or dissenters of particular type of reasoning insult others, but you see, let us all be objective. My question to you is, do you realistically think Ghana is doing well now after 57 years of independence?. The country is also saddled with so much debts that it is so scary thinking about sustainable development. Besides, no country in the world goes to IMF and still maintains her autonomy in that particular nation's governance. The IMF with its neoliberalism policies forces you to deregulate, whether in trade liberalisation, lower environmental laws, trade unions democratic powers are curtailed, and the list goes on and on. So any dealings with the Bretton Woods institutions really is not a prudent economic option. Do your own research with IMF dealings with India, Argentina and other south American countries or any other country, you will come to the conclusion that such a move with IMF is an economic disaster. Don't let anybody fool you with any other lies, for I honestly feel sorry for Mahama at this time. We want Ghana, and I'm talking about Ghanaian people in the North, Upper Region, South, West, Volta, etc to be given the freedom to enjoy their social and economic inviolable rights; that is what GDP is all about. Sadly, the current party lacks that competence and has failed Ghana miserably. People should therefore have to be objective about these matters and make political decisions according to issues and not tribalism, fetishism, etc. I hope this helps.

How many years on is that? GHANAIANS? You call this LAWLESS, CORRUPT, IMPOVERISHED, FILTHY nation as having a middle-income status to be fully fledged by the IMF???
Mr. President, please tell me which African country has the IMF ever done good for to have a middle-income status with the wealth of resources, Ghana has?
For your information, Ghana is nowhere near a middle-income status, let alone to be fully made so by the IMF.
Once again, you this new breed of African leaders have sold us down the drain to the neo-colonialists on the very cheap, indeed!
When are we Africans ever going to get it that, there are a few people in our midst (AFROPEANS) eager, and willing to help their masters to siphon our rich natural resources out of our continent for peanuts?
Africa and moreover, Ghana WILL NEVER reach any status with such puppets of the West, acting as our leaders.

A mild mannered man once said that the future was in space and it will take years of learning before the ghanaian nation will be able to understand it. If as ghanians you look to building your future in the right way like India they can build to the sky and beyond. Join in with the international space station and look to being real players in a real world. As an individual and as a population we will be able to unite with the Africa and the world to make ideas known and build a foundation. Lets look at putting a rocket on the moon and look at look at getting information back from other stars. Why can't we put a telescope like hubble up in the atmosphere so we can see what is out there. In the end of the day we can all look to being a nation which thinks of space of the ground and is ready to move to the future and figure out space for real. We can be that nation and we can be leaders in technology and vision. We have the capability and the knowledge. The people and the society to be champions

How is the country looking. I would say good but why does everyone look good but not feel good. We need to be runners in building the country of our dreams and finding the resolution that our fathers could not find. If we search inside ourselves we will be able to build businesses and collect crops which are good enough to make ghanaian businesses compete on the world stage. Making sure that they bring in the doe and send out the love if that is the way round you look at it. We could be a people who search worldwide for the things we need to make our country better. Or give advice to others who need to learn from our ideas and living. Why can't a fluid Africa be sustained in an ever growing world. If we are ready to except change in our world then we are ready to bring our lives into the forefront of peoples homes for the right reason. We are actors, politicians, doctors, farmers, teachers, business men and women. We are leaders, diplomats, security, chefs and a united people who can look to making our lives better. We can choose to live as a people, we can better our lives, ask yourselves who has the first step and spread the word so that we become one with the right action, policy and union. We will not lie to get there, we will not fall but we will unite to be a better nation.

now the world can see a leader who has catastrophically taking his country backwards and his people suffering.

There's nothing to talk about since no prudent economic growth and long term investment measures/policies is in place,aside from eurobond .So his best option was to use the 3 days old IMF meetings to bail himself out of Embarrassment !
Basic necessities like electricity,water,gas,etc etc is on ad hoc supplies,if any. There's general indigence or impoverishment across the Country.No jobs,due to the closure of
numerous State Owned Factories built by Osagyefo Dr Prof Kwame Nkrumah's CPP gov't,put on Divestiture by Rawlings ; instead of a Simple Social responsibility Common Sense approach of a "Going Concern"(people cont.to work while you look for investors to takeover).As a result the Country is not producing anything.The Country is filthy to the core.
The people are not Economically Empowered as Kuffour did since the NDC late Atta Mills/ Mahama took over from the NPP admin.
You don't brag about one week appreciation of the local currency.Anyway.
All these basics should be in place before you think about what is middle Income Status.
So,what is Mahama talking about ! Shame !

First of all, let me make the point that the cedi's appreciation has nothing to do with macro economics, but rather it is due to market (currency) speculation. The speculators have positioned their bids in light of IMF bailout, which will pump millions if not billions of dollars into the economy. Currency speculators believe that talks with the IMF will be successful and have stated their positions to reap the benefits when the cedi appreciates after the eventual IMF bailout.
But people like JH New York, who through ignorance have elevated Kufuor to a celebrity status should be ashamed of themselves. They are the proverbial blind leading the blind. If you were to ask me about Ghana's worst leader since Kutu Acheampong, my answer without question will be John Agyekum Kufuor. Kufuor is a born crook, and ignominiously narcissistic. This idiot had the goodwill of whole world, especially the Scandinavian countries, to put Ghana on the path of becoming a middle-income country and beyond in the eight years he presided over the country but painfully squandered the opportunity. Lee Kwan Yew built Singapore, a marshy land, from scratch and without support in 25 years. Think of what JA Kufuor could have done in 8 years with full support of the world behind him.
I do not have the time and space to list the tragedy of a real African success story. Ghana had its day in the sun between 2000 and 2008 but it squandered the opportunity because it had a fool for president. My advice to you is to refrain from giving any credit to John Agyekum Kufuor, because giving credit to a loser like Kufuor belies your ignorance in economic matters in the country.

What happened to 'self-reliance,independence from the British,etc'. Dr. Nkrumah will be very sad in his grave.All his efforts are now in vain.All his patriotic struggles for independence from colonial rules are down the hill. We keep on electing selfish,corrupt,greedy individuals into office to enrich themselves and create/enact a clause so that we cannot be prosecuted after leaving office.They think people elect them into office to enrich themselves

PNDC already announced in 2010 that based on their dubious figures Ghana had achieved status of middle income country.
"We have the blessing of the wealth of our vast resources, the power of our talents and the potentialities of our people. Let us grasp now the opportunities before us and meet the challenge to our survival. " Address to the N ...

The NDC destroys the system, repairs it somehow and praise themselves that they are doing well. What have they done right? Is it the currency, agriculture, energy, education, health, sanitation, roads, accountability etc or w ...

Mismanagement and corruption is destroying Ghana's economy and that is problem the President should talk about.
It ain't "talks" that lead to middle income status. It is core fundamental economic stability born of imaginative policies that bring about productivity. All the talks have gotten us no where. Don't waste our time.
What a piece of CRAP! Stop begging and fix the economy. There is nothing sick about Ghana except our LEADERS. Until you guys stop the stealing and stupidity at high places, you will continue in your demented state think IMF e ...

Presidency is not a fashion.... We need someone to slap this cattle tender when they see him.

USELESS PRESIDENT WITH USELESS TALK.YOU HAVE LOOTED THE COFFERS OF YOUR OWN NATION AND HOW CAN YOU DEPEND ON IMF TO TRANSFORM GHANA TO BECOME A MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRY.
Their statements tell you that they are indeed fools and clueless. African leaders are the only leaders who make economic policy statements which they know will never be attained. But they still say it without any repercussio ...

EVEN THE OIL DESCOVERY HAS BEEN THE PERSONAL PROPERTY OF NDC CRIMINALS.
So where in this world will a wise president say this lunacy. A whole lot of money have been received but tell the people what was it use for. This money will finish and yet no single project would be completed.
With such wise comments, I am finally convinced this President is an idiot!! IMF would not lead you to middle income status if you can not manage your resources and your rampant spending and deficit. The cedi stabilizing is d ...

Like seriously? What are you President for if it is only IMF WHO CAN TAKE US OUT OF OUR WOES. Were you voted to transform our country or IMF. I really feel ashamed for such loose talks.
Then let's talk to them over the next several years.
HOW CAN USELESS PERSON LIKE MAHAMA BE A PRESIDENT? DOES HE UNDERSTAND WHAT IMF IS PUTTING ON GHANAIANS?
Ok so the money dey the system inside or not,if yes,it should be transparent ,no slack tlk ..reason up ppl
I know the money coming from the IMF will be fairly disbursed among the ndc people as they are good at that.
Problem for NPP is that Mahama for all hi s uselessness looks like a president! Shorty Low (Akufo Addo) does not!
You r our hope John Mahama
THE ECONOMY IS TURNING AROUND. THE ECONOMY IS RECOVERING. MAHAMA WILL SURELY WIN A DESERVED SECOND TERM. LONG LIVE TERKPER. LONG. LIVE MAHAMA. LONG LIVE GHANA .
Mahama is not clever at all.then let IMF come to rule Ghana. Good for nothing and waste of space preside.
May Allah guide, protect and help our president to succeed.Allah bless our homeland Ghana.
Fuck u n don Quixote....Fucking empty suit...
You should be ashamedof yourself.you thief.you bit more than you can swallow.fool
THIS EXPLANATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO GHANAINS FOR INVITING IMF TO MANAGE THEIR ECONOMY. THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS THE WRONG AUDIENCE FOR THIS SPEECH. I BLAME THE ENTIRE NDC ADMINISTRATION FOR THIS STUPIDITY. ONLY GHANAIANS WI ...

It is not true. The money that will accrue will be given out in judgement debts and the rest finding it's way into the pickets of NDC sympathizes.
Good luck JDM and NDC.
What an inspiring talk however, Mr President, we need our institutions to work. Ghanaians are not feeling the cedi appreciation because prices of goods are still high, utility bills we don't have to say it again. Don't we hav ...

First of all, let me make the point that the cedi's appreciation has nothing to do with macro economics, but rather it is due to market (currency) speculation. The speculators have positioned their bids in light of IMF bailo ...

Mahama and his cronies will steal the money that the IMF will provide for their 2016 campaign.
Oooooh prez. We are proud of you.the best.
Not ourselves, but some other entity is to solve our problems & push us to middle-income level? Keep on dreaming! It'll NEVER happen!! If WE want to move forward, WE HAVE TO DO IT OURSELVES; there AIN'T any other way.
Those of you who have made Akuffo-Addo your tin-god, beware of what Dr. Anane has said. This man is sick and can die soon naturally from kidney infection. Stop abusing and maligning our great President who has made us proud ...

Who in his right thinking will consider reaching a middle income status through loans from IMF without any concrete policies in place. Shame!!
