Thanks, Edusei Foundation, for the many projects you are executing in Ghana for the benefit of Ghanaians. Those who read the newspapers appreciate your work.
Like Oliver Twist, my people hunger for more.

History and posterity put Dr Edusei and his partner George Yaw Owusu on the same trail-blazing levels with persons like Tetteh Quarshie etc whose foresight made Ghana a great nation.
With their intelligence, foresightednes and hardwork, they made oil exploration in Ghana a reality.
They really need praises for such a historic impact that your envy and hatred clouded vituperation.

You attempt to denegrate EO group will not wash. Your propaganda cannot stand the truth. Edusei and his partner have been vindicated by internal investigations and Ghana govt. That is what it it.

tHANKS FOR THIS EFFORT- You all know that street foods are very popular in Ghana urban areas. Most families eat daily from a street food vendor. All kind of foods can be bought from the street vendor and the foods sold are never prepared at home. The eating habits of many Ghanaians in the urban centers is a shift is from consumption of fresh local foods to imported high-fat processed foods rich, in sugar, salt and chemical preservatives. Some of these processed foods are canned imported fruit drinks and meat, hamburger, fried rice and fried turkey tail that are high in saturated fat. Evidence shows that most of these foods have health implications and are associated with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart attack and other cardio vascular diseases. That is why the longevity is so short in Ghana. Thank you DR EDUSEI for starting and initiating this partnership. I hope some good work will come out of it.-Kofi

Esi, I think you may be ignorant but have you asked about the Ghanaian businessmen who brought Newmont Mining to Ghana, or for the same sake the Ghanaian developers who are bring investors to Ghana to build malls. This man worked his butt of to bring in Investors to the Oil fields in Ghana, before he was an Ambassador. Please read the history of Oil in Ghana from the Tulllow Partners and seek the truth.

The EO Group came out of E-Link, a company which Dr. Edusei formed in 1999 to facilitate his philanthropic and entrepreneurial ambition; a trait which is rooted in his family tree.

Dr. Edusei's EO Group brought Kosmos to Ghana. According to Ghana Petroleum law around that time, investors gets 90% whiles Ghana Government gets 10% of the accrued revenue from investors’ exploration of the oil.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT; EO Group struck its deal with Kosmos Energy but not Government of Ghana. Thus EO's took its 3% share was from Kosmos Energy but not Government of Ghana. This goes to explain that EO's 3% was taken from Kosmos’ 90% shares that was due them. Thus Kosmos was left with 87% of their shares whiles Government of Ghana's shares remain 10% as stated by the Ghana Petroleum law.

Dr. Edusei's EO Group signed agreement with Kosmos Energy in July 2003, and rounded the agreement up in early 2004, whiles he became Ghana's ambassador to US in October 2004. So there was no conflict of interest whatsoever as some people are trying to force down our throat. The EO Group-Kosmos Energy deal was done before he became an ambassador.

In establishing the cleanness of the agreement, international investigators were hired to investigate EO. Yet, they found nothing wrong with their deal with Kosmos.

In 2013, Ghana government cleared EO of any wrong doings.

So now what? The obvious is that it is just due to sheer envy and hatred that some persons continue to throw dust into people's eye to soil the hard earn reputation of Dr. Edusei. But that is not gonna wash. Folks should rather be grateful to the EO Group for making oil exploration in Ghana a reality. After all, Tsatsu Tsikata spent millions of dollars of tax payers’ monies in about 20years on flimsy exploration engagements but to no avail.

Let us we as Ghanaians be grateful to Dr. Edusei and his EO group, for they have done what "Napoleon" couldn't do in 20years.

I have been following the activities of the Edusei foundation for some time now, and I think that they deserve some praise for their nationalistic developmental initiatives that they have taken up; the youth development programs, charity donation, and collaborations such as this story. Fellow Ghanaians should emulate the works of this foundation.

The record of Dr. Edusei as a medical doctor, ambassador, founder of EO Group and a philanthropist is there for all to see. He at every point in time excellently executed his roles and initiatives with perfection. On that premise, I strongly believe that this is not the usual "shit in - shit out" that you and I know. With the touch of Edusei Foundation, I believe that this partnership will prove beneficial to our dear nation. Lets cheer them on!

E O Group and Adusei Foundation are signs that we have people in our midst who care about their country.
The two gentlemen who make up EO group are really accomplished individuals in their respective fields. Yes, they led the crusade with the oil discovery for better Ghana. And why do Ghanaians have a problem with the reward? This is an incentive for others to do likewise. Now look at what Dr. Adusei is embarking on. A foundation to assist the youth. The latest partnership with a reputable institution like UM is a plus with the food security as outlined in this article. We can't ask for more. They deserve some praises as I am sure Mr. Owusu is contributing to Ghana's development in his own way. Guys,Keep up the good work as we are watching after all this is not one of those judgement payments. You brought a product and you have been rewarded.

You organize a small symposium for students and you run to over describe it as some hellover partnership - partnership for what? ITS JUST A FREAKING SEMINAR/SUMPOSIUM. there are countless organized everyday by people all over and they don't rush to self-sell like this crapola! Bloated egocentric bobble heads- pushing stones and claiming they are jewels.

Its people like the "MASKED KOJO" in blinded spotlights that Africa and Ghana in particular cannot progress. "KOJO" had you read other media, its stated that EDUSEI FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH UMD ON FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA. a well thought of message and initiative to eradicate the poor dietary habits of people like you. I am sorry to state you may be an EDUCATED FOOL from these UNEDUCATED SCHOOLS to understand issues with Food Security and Feed the Future Programs in Ghana. The former Ambassador was explaining about METASHIP 2010-15 and FASDEPII which are laudable programs to promote agriculture in Ghana. The high profile people from USAID and CSIS and the many students who were there are more knowledgeable than your KOJO MINDSET. In a frigid temperatures in Maryland, they attended this event and made Ghana and Africa proud, to raise awareness to feed our people and stop the salty, unbalanced foods eaten by KOJO.This was a wonderful effort by Dr Edusei that deserve praise but not the narrow minded,unwanted MASKED KOJO with no brains, thinking he is the best of all minds like KOJO ANANSE. For Dr Edusei to support the Ghana Medium Term Agriculture Plan is worthy of thought and praise. His effort in bring investors to Ghana has been seen in the Energy Service Sector in the Oil and Gas, the range of logistics, and value added services, the supply chain industries employing Ghanaians has not even been mentioned. "MASKED KOJO" open your mind and give praise where its due, The article is just a glimpse of the opportunities available for people in Ghana to explore best farming and deitary practices and stop the SALTY TURKEY TAILS, SALTY CHICKEN LEGS, IMPORTED PORKS you KOJO have been eating all along. Shame unto you. There will be more of these programs and meaningful people are going back to Ghana to implement the FEED THE FUTURE programs. I will not say by your insulting comment, you may be a scallywag, but I am sorry KOJO you are, very mischievous, but I think you are not harmful. You just need to be reeducated.

DEAR H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA DR.JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA,

TO RESPECTFULLY REFER TO THE ABOVE RELATED SUBJECT-MATTER AND TO HUMBLY SUBMIT THAT THE FORMER GHANA AMBASSADOR TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN WASHINGTON, DC DURING THE FORMER NPP GOVERNMENT AT THE TIME THAT WE FACED SERIES OF PERSECUTIONS AND ORGANIZED GANGS RELATED ACTIVITIES IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, THE KIDNAPPING OF MY THEN WIFE ALICE NAVI AMEKUDZI AND MY BEAUTIFUL INFANT DAUGHTER KEKELI AMA AMEKUDZI ON JANUARY 25, 2007 BY JEFFLEAN NTOW AND OTHERS AT THE TIME ALSO ONE NTOW WAS THE NPP GENERAL SECRETARY, THERETO.
IT WAS ALSO AT HIS TIME THAT LINWOOD LEE AND OTHERS STOLE ALL OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY, BANK ACCOUNTS, LETTERS, CREDIT CARDS AND OTHERS.
THAT ALL THE PETITION THAT I SUBMITTED FOR INVESTIGATIONS BY BOTH GOVERNMENT OF GHANA AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DURING THE PRESIDENCIES OF H.E.MR.FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH AND H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR WHEN HON. NANA AKUFO ADDO WAS GHANA MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS YIELDED NO RESULTS.
HOWEVER, THE FORMER SECRETARY TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR WROTE LETTER TO GHANA MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND GHANA EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON, DC TO HELP ME OF THE CASE SO THAT JUSTICE TO BE SERVED IN THE MATTER.
THAT THESE INCIDENT REPORTS DULY CONCERNED NYPD 4 POLICE OFFICERS BRUTALITY AND WHEN I VISITED THE EMBASSY IN DECEMBER, 2003 THAT I WAS DULY INFORMED BY THEN MINISTER-COUNSELLOR ACKON THAT THE EMBASSY WAS LAISING WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE ON THE MATTER.
BUT EVERY FRANTIC EFFORTS TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND THE EMBASSY PROVED FUTILED.
THAT GHANA FORMER AMBASSADOR DR.KWAME BAWUAH EDUSIE HAS HIS RELATIONS IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA BUT THAT I AM NOT IMPUTING THAT THEY HAVE/HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ATROCITIES THAT WE SUFFERED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.
THAT THERE WAS INITIAL CASE IMPLICATING HIM DURING THE EARLY GOVERNMENT OF THE LATE PRESIDENT JOHN EVANS ATTA-MILLS ABOUT AN "OIL/GAS DEAL" BUT THE CASE BECAME A "COLD CASE".
THAT MY LINE OF ACTION THEREFORE IS ABOUT ALL MY MONEYS, AWARDS AND DONATIONS MONEYS THAT UPTIL NOW THAT I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY OF THEM.
THAT GENUINELY, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG FOR THE FORMER GHANA AMBASSADOR TO ESTABLISH FOUNDATION WITH UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AND FOR THAT HE NEEDS TO BE APPLAUDED, THERETO.
BUT THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT THEY ALL INCLUDING GHANA FORMER AMBASSADOR EDUSIE ABOUT MY REPORTS AND NONE OF THEM EVER TALKED ABOUT THEM OR DO/DID NOTHING ABOUT THEM, THAT IS THE SURPRISING AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS "THE NATURE OF HUMAN-BEINGS?".
IT IS THEREFORE MY PERSONAL CHALLENGE TO THE FORMER GHANA AMBASSADOR DR.KWAME BAWUAH EDUDEI WHETHER OR NOT THE FORMER SECRETARY TO FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR WROTE THE SAID LETTER?
IF YES, WHAT HAD HE DONE AS GHANA AMBASSADOR OR THE EMBASSY DONE?
THAT CLEAR AND CONCISE ANSWERS TO THE ABOVE RELATED QUESTIONS WILL HELP THE QUICK RESOLUTIONS OF THE MATTER INCLUDING THE $20 MILLION LAWSUITS SETTLEMENT THAT DR.DEBORAH JEWEL-SHERMAN, DR.HAROLD FITRER, DR.WAIDE ROBINSON AND GEORGE BRAXTON DEFRAUDED ME, THERETO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,
