"Since then, the “black man” has occupied the shell of political office but not proved that what the white colonial masters couldn’t do to improve the lot of his people, he can do. Problems making it difficult for Ghanaians to live their lives have remained insoluble; and they are even being worsened each passing day. Pan in hand, the “black man is chasing the white man around the globe for redemption. Did we come or did we go?"

the whites colonizers did not make afica a first world for us to make it third world. we have always been underdeveloped. the problem we have in africa (ghana)is not as simple as you think- 50 years ago when nkrumah said african unity what did you think he meant? We rather killed him (well he was power drunk as well) We africans dont look at the big picture and strategise that is why we suffer.We want everything here and now without any proper plan-how on earth can we grow?. We have the biggest natural resources and yet no brain knowlege to make use of it-we will rather bring in the same colonisers to come and extract it take 90 percent of the profit and give 10 percent to he whole nation and yet say we have elected leaders looking at the interest of the people. WE HAVE TO LOOK DEEP WITHIN OURSELVES

If Dr Danaa, who holds a PhD, could behave this way then university education is useless in Ghana. If people of his caliber are leading Ghanaians then, I am afraid, we shall soon fall into a ditch.
Who asked Dr Danaa to take sides in a chieftaincy dispute by solely declaring the chieftaincy status of the Americans illegal. Who sent the National Security Officials to go and harass the Americans. We all know the National Security Zombis like operating under the cover of darkness( you remember the Legon Toll Booth Saga) and their hatred for dogs is unimaginable( you remember NS official threatened to shoot and kill the dogs of the software designer of UG students' election). So if the dogs of the two American citizens were killed prior to their gruesome murder you can now see those behind the killing.
Dr Danaa cannot throw dust into our eyes. If others have thrown dust into his eyes, that is his own cup of tea.

This one wealthy pastor who likes to talk fine but never wants to spare his money. He does not believe in giving charities at all. He will slickly say "teach them how to work instead of Charity" how the hell are you going to teach a 70 year old a new game? Or the very sick some farming techniques? Then he will use the services of others. He even has the nerve to condem pastors like TB Johua who give charities. He tried giving charity and after one try he run away.....he lives an extremely flamboyant live whiles his church members wallow in poverty. Running an extremely expensive school which his own church members who built he school cannot afford. Oh ye cone God of men

As indeed long time "weeping" will not solve our problems, prayers also have never solve any problem. Ghana and most of the Ghanaians are sick due to the over religious situation through christianity and other religions in the country. Pastors are getting reacher and reacher while the ordinary people are getting poorer and poorer. Education is still a mounting for those poorer people and they in the majority.

If we want make use of public education the people must understand the measures first.

Mahama alone can never solve this problem today and tomorrow.

It is about a complex solution must be found and implemented for the sake of our beautiful nation Ghana.

Engineers and profesionals in general have less chance to operate due to over politizes of issues and tribalism. There are no concept against the mess in the system.

The Pastors use the money of the poor to enrich them selves. Most of the welfare they do is just to manipulate people and promote their own interest.

There is no need to curse someone...

Pastors are also part of the problem.

WHY ARE THEY NOT PRAYING? THEIR PRAYERS DID NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

THEY ARE ALL SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE NOW. THEY ARE BEING PRACTICAL NOW. YES, THE SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS IS NOT PRAYERS, IT IS PRAGMATIC DECISIONS. THE PASTORS KNOW THIS, BUT IF THEY TELL THE PEOPLE, THE CHURCH WILL BE EMPTY ON SUNDAYS.

SO THEY LIE TO THE POOR AND TELL THEM TO PRAY AND PAY TITHES AND BLESSINGS WOULD RAIN FROM HEAVEN. ANABA KNOWS THIS. HE IS A BUSINESSMAN IN THE CHURCH. HE IS MAKING HIS MILLIONS AND THE POOR CONTINUE TO SUFFER.

Weeping won't solve problems , however, it is part of emotional stages when a person loose a love one and we should encourage people to let the tears follows
After sobering it becomes dawn on us to reflect what mankind and existence of human race is all about.
I pray the departed soul will find a rest in the Lords arm
And the berieved found help support and encouragememt
Also may all institutions decides to do a professional work from now on and stop the short cut and corruption which will cam back to bite us one day
Ghana lets unite and stop the tribal wall.it wont help anyone
We are all one people with a common destiny

On this earth as they stayed. 5

A nation wide catastrophic
Making the president look pathetic
Not knowing how to describe it
Saying it almost unpresidented
But still seeking prescription. 10

People frm difrnt traces
Embarking on their stages
To seek daily basis
For themselves nd dier ages. 14

Too many thieves in the nation creating difficulties for the ordinary man. Too many politicians using their political position to enrich themselves, help friends and family. Pastors dreaming big trying to be as rich as TB Joshua who is nothing but an intelligent trickster. Fixing the drainage system the right way requires lots of money, but where is the money? lots of public money gone into private pockets, there is not a single politician past or present who has not stolen our money in one way or the other. The military is also to blame, it has become our worst enemy instead of protecting us. JJ's response to the question was insulting, why would your friends pay your children's school fees? They must all cover their faces in shame including Woyomi.

I always disagree with anyone who makes comments on infrastructural problems and rest it at the doors steps of President Mahama. I dare somebody to come out and show me anything that Kuffour did to stop floods in the city of Accra that Atta Mills and Mahama came to destroy or did not use that is causing floods today in Accra. Ghanaians have allowed politicians to polarize their minds such that they don't think about anything for their own country. Agree with me or not. The only problem for this small west African country call Ghana are INDICIPLINE AND LOWLESSNESS to their highest levels. These two attributes of life made it not possible for any past President to succeed in their endeavors of governance. We don't need any president to teach the great grandparents, the grandparents, the parents and the children of Ghana discipline to move the country forward. Ghanaians; practice democracy according to your upbringing. In the white man's democracy a citizen would report his/her sibling for non payment before boarding a bus. What is the counterpart in Ghana. A citizen in the white man's democracy will report his/her own father to the authorities for acquiring unclean wealth and the authorities will act appropriately. What is the counterpart in Ghana? This is food for thought.

The NDC since its inception as a government has shattered the hopes of Ghanaians. The NDC from its grass roots of AFRC,PNDC ,has negatively contributed to socio economic development in this country. All these economic woes Ghana is undergoing today are rooted from incompetencies from this nowhere political party.Ghanaians are perishing for a lack of knowledge. This evil government came purposely to annihilate the Ashanti's richmen because of their hard working nature and to render them to equal status of the lazy fellow Ghanaians in other regions.This was Rawlings' ideology. Rawlings intentionally collapsed the businesses of the Ashanti's.What God has blessed no one can curse .Inspite of Rawlings hatred ,cruelties,brutalities atrocities against the Ashanti's , the Ashantis are still strong because they are hard working and industrious. No Ashanti man will get up in the morning and follow the Presdent unreasonable commands of demolition of people's property whilst he has something profitable to do.Those lazy Ghanaians must use their hands to work to resuscitate the ailing economy.Stop raining insults on Akans because the country's economic viability greatly rests on them they feed the nation with their hard working and natural resources.

Rev. Anaba, this is a thoughtful advice, but how many times have opposition members advised NDC and they have called them names? NDC does not listen. How many times have they insulted Mr. Bawumiah for giving NDC advice about the economy. They have used several unprintable words to describe Mr. Bawumiah. That is why Ghana is going backward. They the NDC knows that they are bankrupt of ideas yet they will not listen to any meaningful advice, so let us leave them to destroy the nation. The people off Ghana have to decide whether they will retain such an incompetent government in 2016 or not. It is up to them but time will tell.

Rev Anaba,healthy benefits is derived from weeping.Therefore,weeping should be allowed to wipe out the sorry in the body.What you said is just like to tell someone not to Urinate, while there is the edge/feeling to do so. For eg.One smiles,laughs or become happy when one hears a good news(could u imagine telling one not to be happy?)and we become sad or look sorrowful and shed tears when one is confronted with bad news. Suppression of any of these could induce sickness. These are natural phenomenon, which is our nature healing process.
