We all know Ghana economy has a problem and the same applies to the world economy. Some countries in Europe are even in recession. We have to appreciate our situation and the fact Ghana is very very lucky. Those in the academia who hide behind blackboard to talk the govt down at your convenience are even worse than the economy. if you have solution to Ghana's problem come out with it.

Who is this lecturer trying to fool? This is the same lecturer who together with other lecturers threatened to embark on strike if their book and research allowance which even their watchmen have also been receiving some, is not paid. When he was demanding and agitating for book allowance a month ago, the economy was healthy then. real funny lecturer

But whose job it is to see to it that only legitimate Professors receive the benefit? Are Professors teaching at our state universities not government employees?

So who is to blame if watchmen are being paid, is it not the governmentg? Are you telling me the government don't know the number of Professors under its employment? Do you need brain calibration?

We see on this forum and all over the place the wickedness and evil being promoted by these ndc idiots in our midst . Their message and propaganda only result in hate and death. They want to use divide and rule tactics so do their best to turn the Fantis and Brongs against the rest of the Akans so their undeclared war against us is ongoing. Fantis are not as illiterate or stupid as you wish so are not buying the Anti Ashanti hate propaganda you sell since they know it only beefs up the general Anti Akan agenda you promote . The undeclared warfare against the Akans is recognized for what it is and these youth with justice in their hearts will not follow this ndc treachery no longer . Tribalist northers and hegemony of the ewe are the only ones who in their stupidity think the suffering of others means their benefit . Nobody believes in the fake ashawo govt and we shall make our country better by relying only on ourselves and hard working people , all they have now is the deep resentment and our despising approach . their govt is spoilt rotten with their corruption meant to keep the Akans in poverty but God is on our side and we shall prosper , their skinpain will kill them off one by one .only an illiterate fool like does not see the catastrophe this pepeni govt has brought upon us . Fitch is only confirming what we have been saying all along and that is mahama's incompetence , corruption and idiotic stubborn foolishness has destroyed all the positive efforts of all past govts including his former boss mills who he murdered . the bloody revolution will cleanse this menace once and for all

HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS & FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAVE GRIPPED MANY IN GHANA TODAY.
GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY THESE NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,BRAZIL WORLD CUP SCANDAL, FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!

Moyo, your NDC Government told Ghanaians during the 2008 elections that they had all the magical solutions to solve the problems of the country. ( Remember the Better Ghana Agenda).

If you were to be a very sincere and sane person (sorry) you wouldn't be asking for anyones' solution to our ailing Economy when your DULLARD PRESIDENT MAHAMA has stated " YIENTIE OBIAA)"

I think the time has come for all you serious thinkers to realise that the NDC THIEVERY GOVERNMENT is only there to prosecute an Agenda for YOU and other NDC People, BUT NOT OTHER GHANAIANS.

Think of the past NPP Government without OIL, but such amenities as the Capitation Grants, National Health Insurance Scheme, School Feeding Programme and many more.

Opposed to YOUR massive CORRUPTION and MISMANAGEMENT WHICH HAS LED TO THE IMF BAILOUT THAT SIGNIFIES MORE AUSTERITIES FOR THE ORDINARY GHANAIAN.

You see, these days one has to be NOT necessarily belong to the Academia, but has a little bit of Education to know the true insights of the running of Government and her performances.

Sadly speaking, that Education is what this your BACKWARD GOVERNMENT PF NDC is denying the good people of Ghana.

It is just like the old APARTHEID SYSTEM OF SOUTH AFRICA (WHICH I BECAME A LEADER IN FIGHTING THAT MENACE FROM NEW ZEALAND)that thought Educating the citizenry meant making them Educated enough to Fight The System.

But finally, the Poor and the VIGILANT PREVAILED.

For your information the Industrialised World where we all live in do have problems like the Tongue and Teeth but still managed to support our Budgets by 65% over the past SIXTY YEARS.

Now you have to ask yourself why they have all decided to CUT OF THAT ASSISTANCE TO OUR BUDGETS.

The answer is, they have all come to the realisation that CORRUPTION and MISMANAGEMENT is what the Government under the NDC has heavily indulged in to enrich themselves and most supporters.

Therefore why should their citizens be committed to Taxes to pay for your inadequacies??? AND GOOD ON THEM!!!

This is more the reason why we all have to jettison this visionless government of CATS AND DOGS and usher in a Prosperity Government for the People.

For your information, most Ghanaians in the Diaspora have been the driving force behind the Good Economic
Deliverance of the Ghanaian Economy to the extent that our Remittances is about to override the main Export Earnings of Ghana.

And yet still, it has always been the NDC THIEVERY GOVERNMENT that deny us the VOTE FOR THE DIASPORIANNS.

Sadly to say, the Supreme Court Petition Hearing encountered very many anomalies of Ghanaian-Overseas Registration which amounted well over 265,000 THAT WERE SHEER GHOST NAMES but were factored in our overall \results by the NDC RIGGING MACHINE.

Personally, I thought the Independence of Ghana that paved the way for other Black African States to follow same would have made our Supreme Court of ATIBUGA to make a First Historic Court Decision to adjudicate an Electoral Judgement, given the ENERMOUS or ABUNDANT EVIDENCE PRODUCED.

But the DOG JUDGE ruled that NO country in African had succeeded in such Electoral Petition, therefore that should be left into the hands of the citizenry.

IN OTHER WORDS HAVE A WAR!!!

Well, as far as common sense is made to prevail whereby the past system is NOT repeated to deny us of VICTORY, then Ghana should be expected to face the BIGGEST CIVIL WAR FOR WHICH IS LONG OVERDUE!!!!

AND I PROMISE MOST OF US BEING DIEHARDS WOULD BE THERE BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Those countries who economies you claim are undergoing recession don't have a quarter of the resources that Ghana. They haven't stolen state monies and resources like politicians do in Ghana. And they haven't borrowed like we do in Ghana, so please don't make that comparison at all. I get annoyed when I hear people say others are worse than Ghana . Is like a wealthy child who could only manage a diploma inspite of having access to all the best schools and when quered by the parents why he couldn't attain a degree, he says ' but I'm better than that poor boy who couldn't graduate from the high school' . Nonsense ! Ghana is truly retrogressing.

If you mayo needs to know a solution to Ghana's ailing economy then listen to this. Tell Mahama to stop paying wrongful judgement debt to Woyome. Again cease instituting programs like Gyeeda, Sada, Subah, AEL and others including the payment of foolish judgement debts to Isofoton, Waterville etc. Again the foolish president must stop using Ghana's money to build a 500 rooming hotel in Dubai. He must also stop buying houses in US, South Africa and UK and Ghana for each of his 24 children whom he has scattered all over the whiteman's countries. That president is a fool so tell him to stop being foolish so that the economy will start to flourish.

Dr. Bokpin and other intellectuals who are critical of the way Ghana's economy is functioning continue to base their criticisms on neo-classical economic paradigm. Ghana's economic is 'wounded' precisely because for quite a while now, the country's governments have not pursued an environmentally sustainable economic development.

Can you learned Dr. Bokpin tell us something about an environmentally sustainable economic development?

Why do you want the Professor to tell you what enviromentally sustainable economic development is when you seem to know it. Tell us about it or tell the present administration what environmentally sustainable economic development is and urge it to pursue it instead of telling the Professor to define it, the definition will not do us any good but the government practicing it will.

It is not too late to do it if previous administrations failed to do it, is it?

If one were to delve into our Economic malaise, it would have to be put at the doorstep of Dictator Kwame Nkrumah and Murderer Rawlings personal and NDC Governments.

It has been so unfortunate for some irresponsible, Academic, Illiterates and Semi-Illiterates, The Military and the General Propagandists who don't understand or think Governments are run on the backstretch of Parliament or Cabinet based on the Constitution of the Country.

There are very many people in our society today, who may NOT realise
that our official Economy, the moment it was transformed or transpired from Gold Coast to Ghana was firstly sabotaged by Dictator Kwame Nkrumah, followed by Murderer Rawlings and his respective NDC NATION WRECKERS.

Unfortunately, we today have very many people who were Manufactured by the Dictator and his Kankan Nyame Doctrine.

These are the people who are making the innocent and the ill-informed Ghanaian to look responsible for the unfortunate of our Social and Economic penury.

I listened to Kwame Nkrumah's Dawn Broadcast of 1963 when he declared the Positive Action Day on the public Radio.

It is what Murderer Rawlings translated into "Positive Defiance Moment" which turned our respective YOUTHS into DEFIANTS, which is what we are all witnessing today.

Dictator Kwame Nkrumah thought establishing the Preventive Detention Act. which was written by AYIGBE K.A.GBEDEMAH, who (according to the Dictator himself) had fled Ghana with our (TWELVE MILLION POUNDS STERLING).

That aside, the Dictator was told by many experts that for our Economy to sustain the pressures at the time, the main Export of the Economy, being the COCOA needed to be appraised.

This was for the special reason that, both the Cocoa Farmers were getting OLD: as well as the COCOA TREE THEMSELVES. Therefore research had proven that more should be done to encourage the YOUTHS to go back INTO the FARM WITH THE NECESSARY INDUCEMENTS; otherwise countries, such as Ivory Coast would overtake our Economy.

The DICTATOR wouldn't like to listen or hear anything of this nature; in the same way he told the late Egyptian President Abdul Nasser that he had wrapped all Ghanaians in his Handkerchief.

The Dictator failed from the very onset that his fake ego of transforming the whole of Africa to become his ambit of United States of Africa was unrealistic is what his children and those he "manufactured: today still fail to realise and understand.

The Dictator was calling the Colonial Masters as DEVILS!!! But WYY??? You wanted Independence for your people and you have acquired it; and why all the insults on the Colonialists??

He was so STUPID and SEX HAPPY to realise that he was actually dragging Ghana into abyss. After, the Doyen of African Politics, Dr. J.B.Danquah and many of his opponents were either incarcerated or had been forced into exile.

Simply because we opposed to his Dictatorship at Home and Expansion Abroad, most of our Opposition Group were killed by his Agents abroad, thus making him a HOME GROWN TERRORIST.

The vast Economic Reserve that were left by the Colonialists, of course were used in part for the Nation's Developmental Agenda, which were orchestrated by people such as our former Finance Minister J.H.Mensah-ala the Seven Year Development Plan.

Dictator Nkrumah used too much of our resources outside Ghana for his quench to become President of Africa.

Someone here is asking for the definition of Environmentally Sustainable Economy. Simply put, if DULLARD MAHAMA had been astute to follow the steps of our Budget Supported Countries and adjusted accordingly instead of this massive CORRUPTION, we wouldn't have been in this sort of a mess, as being put into the Receivership of the IMF.

Now the same CPP of Nkrumah's Idealogues penetrated into Murderer Rawlings Regimes up to this present NDC hell bent into fulfilling the Dictator's Communistic Traits.

I must say I had once been a Communist Sympathiser for supporting APARTHEID because it was the only way we could get ARMS FROM THEM TO FIGHT APARTHEID.

So the simple Economic Traits or Development is to follow the Path of your Trading Partner/S being the only way to get sympathy and lessons of supports.

Given this direction, you would be put in a position to know exactly where to make an adjustment when your Trading Partners are also facing difficulties.

This is what Environmentally Sustainable Economy is all about.

Onuah Francis C. Quainoo of Western Australia, thank you first of all for your input into what constitute environmentally sustainable economic development. What you dished out has nothing to do with what I was attempting to get across; you used it as an opportunity to lambaste your political opponents, namely our former presidents Nkrumah and Rawlings, who am afraid also failed to pursue environmentally sustainable economic development.

For your information, "This is " NOT "what Environmentally Sustainable Economy is all about." Onuah Francis come again, and for once put your remote politics from distant Western Australia aside.

To take up Sarpong's challenge, I will attempt to define environmentally sustainable economic development - I see it as a development that encourages forms of economic growth that meet the basic needs of all the current generations of Ghanaians without preventing future generations of Ghanaians from meeting theirs.

From Kwame Nkrumah right up to Mahama, there haven't been deliberate attempts to establish an all in all environmentally sustainable society in our nation.

Truth be told, we've been dealing with one form of unsustainable economic growth or the other, all wrapped up in short term political and economic gains, insidious bigotry, and ubiquitous corruption.

Any government that devotes bulk of its revenue paying government officials and workers is definitely not pursuing sustainable policies. Very little revenue goes into catering for the needs of the current generations of Ghanaians, and a mere pittance is left to meet the needs of future generations. This is what I mean by unsustainable economic development .

Is this what Dr. Godfrey Bokpin mean by 'wounded economy'?

Onua MARCUS, it seems to me that you are just spraying a scattered bullet by NOT meeting a simple phraseology of
UNSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

Iam NOT an Economist but a Political Scientist with a background of the SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC BACKGROUND you seem to be agitating about.

In my books, there is No Economic Development that a single country can successfully succeeded Economic Development without partnering their Trading Partners.

Unfortunately, our Ghanaian Economy hunder this NDC Government has always been a Laser-Faire approach which always mean the Dependent Theory.

What must be understood is that Governments are NOT there to create Businesses but make an Economic Friendly Environment for the Private Sector to stimulate Jobs within the Community.

You imagine a Government setting up an Enterprise, then creating an Export Division, Marketing Division, Pricing Division, Promotion Division, Transportation Division,etc.
End of the day you end up with CORRUPTION!!! And this is what we are all trying to eradicate which our Ghanaian Government at the moment doesn't seem to understand.

Furthermore, it is NOT the business of governments to CREATE BUSINESS but leave that to the PRIVATE SECTOR.
In that Governments lack the strategic catering for the masses without favouring their Political Followers.

At the present time, I am fully aware of massive Graduate Unemployment in our Ghanaian System which is very disturbing.

What must be fully understood is that Challenges the people are going through must consolidate with CHANGES.

We cannot WISH TO HAVE CHANGES WHEN WE HAVEN'T MET WITH THE DUE CHALLENGES. This is what Life and Simple Economics is all about.

UGCC, UP, PP AND NPP AS TRIBAL INWARD-LOOKING ASHANTI-AKYEM PARTY WORKED WITH THE U.S. CIA TO OVERTHROW THE GREATEST PRESIDENT GHANA HAS EVER EXPERIENCED, OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK OTHER GROUPS IN GHANA HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE, SAVE UGLY ASHANT-AKYEMS. SHAME!

LOOK AT OUR UNIVERSITIES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND ASK YOURSELF, WHAT'S HAVE I CONTRIBUTED TO THE GOOD AND BAD OF THESE INSTITUTIONS OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH ESTABLISHED. NPP IS SIMPLY A CONTROL FREAK PARTY, AND HAS NOTHING TO OFFER GHANA BUT MORE CORRUPTION.

OUR LECTURERS HAVE BECAUSE EDUCATED ILLITERATES AND BLOCK-HEADS, ONLY TO INDULGE IN PARTISAN POLITICS.

NPP HAS BEEN OUT OF POWER FOR 8 SOLID YEARS AND AKUFO ADDO SO DESPERATE FOR POWER WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT TO CORRUPT THE STATE TO PAY BACK ALL THE LOANS HE HAS TAKEN, THROUGH REMORTGAGING OF THE LEGACIES OR PROPERTIES THAT FATHER HANDED OVER TO HIM, TO CONTEST TWO FAILED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.

AKUFO ADDO CAN NOT, AND WILL NEVER WIN ELECTION IN GHANA. HE CAN ONLY WIN ELECTIONS IN TRIBAL-ETHNOCENTRIC AND INWARD-LOOKING ASHANTI AND EASTERN (AKYEM) REGION, AND WILL CERTAINLY BE PRESIDENT OF ASHANTI AND EASTERN REGIONS. AMEN!!!!!!!!!

If you wish you were an Akyim or an Ashanti don't blame them.You are suffering from what psychologists call inferiority complex.It is a very dangerous mental problem if you don,t treat it now it will affect your nervous system .You see a successful Akim or Ashanti and you become nervous because you feel he is more superior than you he is the cause of your poverty he has blocked your way to success.You will not only develop BP, all the side effect of haboring baseless hatred against your fellow being will afflict you.it is a heavy burden you can't carry.My advise to you is this:Get close to the Ashantis and the Akyim society you, will enjoy their hospitality .Count how many non-Akyims/Ashantis live among them it will surprise you, you might not even be able to recognize them if they don't tell you they are from your tribe.Your tribal leaders who have brain-washed you to hate the Akyems and the Ashantis have chosen for themselves beautiful Akyims and Ashanti Women as wives leaving you to do their dirty work for them and face the consequence.Cool down you will one day have to answer the question :What did Akuffo- Addo( whom you claim mortgaged the properties his father left for him and did not steal state money to contest 2 elections)did to you to merit a personal attack on him.What will be your answer .I don't want your innocent children to suffer for this .Repent now God loves you.Love thy neighbor as thyself.

But the wound is not really about the expectations of Mahama delivering a Better Ghana. No one in his right mind ever thought Mahama could ever deliver a Better Ghana. The main problem and the loss of hope is that the NDC does not even have the people who understand the economy they are toying with.

Man walking along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. Tells the shepherd, "I will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number in this flock." The shepherd thinks it over; it's a big flock so he takes the bet. "973," says the man. The shepherd is astonished, because that is exactly right. Says "OK, I'm a man of my word, take an animal." Man picks one up and begins to walk away.

"Wait," cries the shepherd, "Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation." Man says sure. "You are an economist for a government think tank," says the shepherd. "Amazing!" responds the man, "You are exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?"

"Well," says the shepherd, "put down my dog and I will tell you.

How on a earth can the head of department descend so low and become petty at the expense of academic and professional competence in his quest to do the bidding of one old man who is suffering from inertial. Is this man aware that president mahama has been in office for bearly two years and eight months of those were wasted by the old litigant who wants to be a president at all cost? Is he saying that he cannot see the numerous development projects that are going on across this country? If his conviction is that the old man who is 75 years but has reduced it by five and who cannot remember the following morning that he ate before he went to bed the previous night can govern this country better, he should wait for his turn.

Are you only interested in criticizing the NDC-LED admin without suggesting any alternative way? Are you a true Ghanaian who wants to see the country developed? I'm not sure you are an economist.Do not behave like an ostrich.

As a lecturer you must criticize and offer meaningful suggestions. You do not agree to policies that will save Ghana corruption like payment of Research allowances on request through a fund. How manay researches have you conducted on finance which adds to the literature on the very subject you are lecturing. The students you produced are the managers of finance inn organizations in the country so if they are failing then you have failed big time. God less Ghana.

The UG lecturer is a disgrace to intellectual deductive thinking and fact supporting conclusions. If the economic legs upon which Ghana stood was sound at the time the Atta-Mills/Mahama government took office there would have to have been a reversal of all policies and economic related laws in Ghana to "wound" the Ghanaian economy. As the moronic lecturer knows, if some 40years after1966 coup people can still find ghost employees on government payrolls draining salaries and benefits even as government struggle to meet payroll and or pay off its monthly utility bills, then blaming a slow processing of NDC "better Ghana " agenda is a rouse for a closet NPP lecturer to add his tainted two pesewas to a discussion that requires intellectual honesty.
