A wise n Inspirational Speaker said "The greatest tragedy for a man is not death , but a man who has no vision or purpose". Now the question is what vision has Mahama got?? In fact Mahama is the biggest tradegy to befall Ghana. He has no vision, nothing at all. Look at the state of Ghana now n we have people like Honesty who I believe hasn't done anything for a mosquito talking rubbish. Is this the better Ghana Agenda they talked abt. Hmmmm. I thank God I managed to come to UK other than that my parents would have been dead now. Better Ghana, Ha ha hahaha. Now someone has brought out his vision n u are condenming it. Shame on you.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? ARE YOU A CRIMINAL POLITICIAN LIKE VICKY HAMMAH WITH A TARGET TO BAG OR A FOOLISH FOLLOWER. IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER, YOU FIT WELL INTO THE PROFILE OF PEOPLE I DISCRIBED HERE AS 'FOOLISH FOLLOWERS' WHEN EMILE SHORT SAID WE SHOULD NAME, SHAME AND JAIL CORRUPT OFFICIALS. READ WHAT I SAID ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU BELOW:

How different is that going to be with political party followers (those I call FOOLISH FOLLOWERS) strongly stepping in to cover these criminals hiding behind political parties? Wisdom has eluded most Ghanaians to the extent that when a criminal in politics is caught red handed in a crime, REFFERENCE IS MADE TO A SIMILAR CRIME THAT HAS GONE UNPUNISHED (when your party was in power, you did even worse) to justify the present one. This is how far we have lost our conscience. How about those who have nothing to do with any political party, what do you tell them to justify your crime. Until something is done about our constitution to give a little more autonomy to law enforcing agencies to operate without fear of reprisal from the executive branch of government, we will not be able to change much. To see a police man being ordered by the AMA Boss on the street to arrest a driver for tooting his horn, really makes a mockery of law enforcement in Ghana. If those in uniform understand the law properly, they can use their discretion in situations like these. Do you think such a policeman can arrest this AMA boss if he finds himself on the wrong side of the law? Who determines that 'the big man' has broken the law and must be arrested at once? With poverty, unemployment and deliberate attempt by politicians to DIVIDE GHANIANS ON TRIBAL LINES, it will only get worse until these are addressed. I rest my case.

What does the new Ambassadorof Japan want in the house of a presidential candidate? Why did he not visit the presidential candidates of the other parties? This indirect interference in the internal affairs of Ghana should be stopped. What is the status of a presidential candidate in the hierarchy of diplomatic protocol? This is the very disgusting behaviour put up by Nana Addo when even not a president he was been given Police Depatch riders for escort. This is repugnant. The Minstry of Foreign Affairs must take up this matter. It should be former President kuffour the Ambassador should visit as protcol demands, not a presidential candidate.

No country on Mother Earth has industrialized without KNOWING HOW TO MAKE AN ENGINE or MOTOR TO POWER INDUSTRIAL MACHINES.

Why didn't Akufo Addo ask the Japanese Ambassador about “the engine/motor” thing? The Japanese great make CARS, COMPUTERS, SHIPS, and a long list of ELECTRONIC GADGETS. What natural resources doe the Japanese have, but look at their astronomical development?!!

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) should be heavily funded at the research level for them to make ENGINES/MOTORS to aid any industrialization. Don't think that the Whiteman (Mr. BOBO) will give you his best machines for your industrialization. He frowns on that!! I think we need "Apostle Safo."

See, the White man wants AFRICANS to be DUMB as hell, so they can continue to sell us their industrial goods and, therefore, they will NEVER show you how the engine or motor is made—else, who else around could they continue to CHEAT—but the African man is too damn SLOW to catch up to that. Where are our trained scientists, engineers (electrical, chemical, structural or IT)?

Africa produces gold, diamonds, cocoa, timber, cash chew, coffee and several other natural products, BUT, OGA, WHO DETERMINES THE WORLD MARKET PRICES for these products—nobody but Mr. BOBO?? See, how STUPID we are??

But, when (he) Mr. BOBO makes his vehicles (cars), industrial machines, computers, TVs, telephones, radios and other electronic products, HE TELLS US HOW MUCH HE WILL SELL THEM TO US (i.e., he determines his own prices, but we CAN’T tell him how much to sell our cocoa or gold to him).

WHY, NEGRO?? Because Mr. BOBO damn well knows that the African CAN'T make machines to process their own natural resources into secondary products for their people, while at the same time providing JOBS for them. So, Nana Addo, STAR from HOW YOU & GHANA CAN MAKE THE ENGINE or the RUNNING MOTOR for your industrialization program, else it will be only an egg-dance (i.e., just going around and around and back to square one).

Thank you very much, faithgrows. Your three-line contribution would go a long way in Educating IDIOTS such as HONESTY, CORNEY, HAWA YAKUBU, Lt Col. Obiri Yeboah (rtd), et al.

Most of the people who do contribute to this forum don't have a DOG SHOW what POLITICS is all about. What they do ascribe to is FAKE HEROISM, irrespective of how our Mother Ghana had been able to survive from Dictatorship to Democracy.

Many of us did survive under Kwame Nkrumah's Dictatorship. A man the majority of Ghanaians couldn't call or mention his name without looking over your shoulders for fear of being reported upon by his GHANA YOUNG PIONEERS Movement that would send you into Prison without TRIAL.

In fact my blood starts to boil when people refuse to take off their political lenses for the sake of our country and dwell on matters that would bring Prosperity to the country.

What we seem to be seeing and hearing right now is that, a Japanese Ambassador had paid a courtesy call on our President-In-Waiting, Nana Akufo-Addo.

Most of these uneducated Political psychopathic are the ones who are hell bent on giving any continental whether Ghana goes Left, Right or Centre. They are the sorts some of us call the One Party State People.

These people do NOT have any comprehension of what VISIONARY is all about, hence their folly attacks on what Nana Akuffo-Addo has been enumerating with his Japanese guest.

Now, some members of this forum are questioning the wisdom of the Ambassador's visit which they may deem to be interfering with he affair of Ghana. BULLOCKS!!!!

In fact if Ghanaweb were to make it mandatory to screen our both Educational and Mental prowess before we happened to come to this site, I don't think for a minute that many of us would be qualified.

Nana Akufo-Addo's VISIONARY is far more CHALLENGING and WORKABLE than that of our previous DICTATORS OF BOTH NKRUMAH AND MURDERER RAWLINGS.

It appears to me that the Japanese Ambassador has seen fit by seeing the twinkle in the eyes of NANA and the sort of Economic Policies he has constantly espoused to the rest of the World to follow if he was to be elected President of Ghana; thus redeeming the people from the penury they are under.

When we talk about CHALLENGES, what we mean is what CHANGES YOU thereafter going through those hard times. But do fellow Ghanaians do see the light at the end of the tunnel???
Because if it doesn't Challenge YOU then it would NEVER CHANGE YOU.

We must understand that Ghana had been unofficially declared BANKRUPT BY THE WEST far before the Dictator's overthrown.

And the Beat Went On the moment Murderer Rawlings stepped onto the scene for his own parochial interest. And this is a Son Of A Prostitute who Wouldn't Wish Legitimate Ghanaians To Have A Good Sound Sleep With His Nonsense. HE WAS AS CORRUPT AS NKRUMAH!!!

In all and all, Busia's Government where I served as a Campaign Manager when working at Tarkwa Mines would have been better placed to transform Ghana Economically if the in erudite Soldiers had allowed us to stay on course.

Our country GHANA can only prosper under Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP Party, because we can easily identify the Financial Oligarchy who may be more that prepared to Invest Their Dollar into an Economy that would make them feel more and more SAFER.

At the present time, it has been the case of CAPITAL FLIGHTS GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY, while this Silly Government, apart from Corruption is trying to STEEL THE WORKERS' PENSION FUNDS.

Nana Addo has nothing to offer when he had the opportunity he sold the drill ship today we have buy a new one for the same job. Do you call this person visionary? Their desperation can be understood, the monies Bequeathed to Nana Addo are finished and the ones siphoned by Bawumia through the redenomination exercise is finished and they have no job too. So this is their last chance that is why they will maim people who stand their way.

KEEP IT SIMPLE AND REALISTIC. DO NOT OVER PROMISE AND MISLEAD. TYPICAL OF POLITICIANS. AN INDUSTRIALISED ECONOMY TAKES TIME. GHANA IS NOT AT THAT LEVEL YET AND IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN AKUFO ADDO'S LIFETIME.

If somebody really wants to industrialise Ghana,he wouldn't start from market economy.In my opinion,if Nana Addo is serious to industrialise Ghana he will first and foremost focus on the needed energy safety.The question is who is going to finance the industries?The Public or the private?Again,the opposition is saying Mahama has managed the economy if so how realistic is this so called vision?Thank you.

administration, he used to come to this part of the world to thank us for the support we had been giving Ghana, by way of our constant remittances home for one reason or the other. All because we were creating Foreign Reserves for Ghana.

Unfortunately, this NDC Government only believed in STEALING the Foreign Votes and factoring them into the final Election Counts in collaboration with the Electoral Commission.

Now, these CATS AND DOGS should realise that their days are numbered. The Gargantuan Crimes and Corruption plus their cabal in KILLING THE FORMER PRESIDENT ATTA MILLS WOULD COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM FOR GOOD.

Nana Akufo-Addo has spelt out what would make GHANA proud again as Nation and we must all support that agenda and eschew THOSE NATION WRECKERS, NDC WHO KNOW NO SHAME BY LOOTING THE COUNTRY'S COFFERS!!!

What qualities and achievements does Akuffo Addo have to lay any claim to fame and popularity? You came out with a 3rd class first degree from Legon and yet would want us to believe that you were then able to enter law school in England.There is a big question mark on your academic credentials. As Attorney General, you do not come out as having won any legal case of honorable mention for the NPP government - you were rather busily fronting for drug lords in trying to spring them out of USand European jails and giving them diplomatic passports to ply their trade. As foreign Minister no outstanding feats can be tagged to your name - rather you showed ineptitude in serving the cause of Ghanaians in the Gambia. if you have any vision for Ghana, we should have seen inklings of that in your past work. TALK IS CHEAP

Typical Akufo Addo reciting platitudes he hears along the way. He does not have any idea of his own that's why he can't develop the details of any proposition he regurgitates, much more make it persuasive and pointed

Do you have to be president to help develop Ghana Nana? Why don't you share the secret now instead of waiting till you become president. Just another political opportunist. Why did the Japanese envoy paid a visit, after all right now Nana is just a regular citizen.

To make GHANA an industrialized economy three distinct things have to happen pari passu, that is hand-in-hand:

1. Upgrade the nation's electricity system, including rural electrificatio, by expanding renewable energy.

2. End the urban bias by giving voice to the majority rural folks; and building cottage industries in the rural areas to stop the mindless exodus to the urban areas.
3. Reform the nation's educational system by emphasizing critical thinking and STEMIC curricula, that is initiating a rigorous programme that will do away with chew, pour pass.

Sorry you are late Nana because JM is doing just that by first ensuring stable reliable and affordable electricity. Just wait and see 2015/2016. Your campaign messages will only be corruption.
