Everyone in Ghana breaks every rule every time!

The thief Jonah has become very irrelevant.

I read the whole piece and Sam has laid it all out very well. We have it all in Africa but our problem is a pathetic LACK OF LEADERSHIP. Well done, SIR !

Goldcoaster, have you read the whole article? If you haven't then SHUT UP! If you have, then you've got a feeble mind. Sir Jonah is not advising people to break the law of the land. He's advising people to be more innovative and not to stick to the rigid rules of business. You should not be afraid to make difficult decisions, and sometimes, break the law to succeed. Thank you, Sir Sam, for sharing these words of wisdom with us.

Thank God his children are useless in life. God is not a liar.

Malaysia and South Korea didn't have massive external intelligence infiltration like ghana had. These Asians countries were benefitting economically from thebrusians and Americans. Who allwanted to assume influence in the region thru economic and military aids. Ghana didn't have these. Also, these Asian nations didn't go thru tumultuous govts overthrow, military rule like ghana. So all inhave to say to Sam jinah is this. You greedy fool can't take your wealth to the grave with you. You sold out the success of your people and sold out our wealth. Now, you want to miseducate the seeds by telling them that there is nothing wrong breaking the rules?

Well said, Sir. But don't you become a member of the council of elders and contribute your quota to mainstream Ghana politics.

i believe however as you have already said that ours is a leadership gap and the watering down of that zeal to commit totally to the public good by our current crop of politicians...
For the military adventurism into African politics it is more of a universal character or feature sysmtomic of that stage most nation's development. as one could easily identify the military presence all over the world at certain point in time.;- as late as the 1960's there were still the presence of the military in europe, in asia, and in south americas . where the military did not showed up, it was made up by either some form of civil insurrention or the other..in england it was civil war by the Irish republican army, and in the u.s. it was the civil of 1865..so the military presence helps to reposition and correct certain anomally and shape our psyche and settle the environment for a better and next level our political journey and path of growth to a better stage.. bcos as u rightly said mistakes are essential ingredients that helps our growth and properly shapes our experience for better things ahead just as the way military, a necessary evil has helped shape our experience for the current democratic option stay blesss.

This is precisely what many of these charlatans who have held this nation for ransom, do not want the ordinary folks to know about. And how can the 'John Doe' appreciate what you are talking about, when those whose duty it is to neatly lay all this out for the benefit of the citizens of this once great nation, have sold their souls and consciences to the highest bidder, and have been actively championing their different dubious courses? Any real wonder then that Ghana is now in the pits?

You did break the rules, selfishly "sold Ghana" and got handsomely rich. I don't have time to read a sermon from a crocked character like you. The curses of hungry and poor Ghanaians are upon you. One of your sons died mysteriously and the other is prison for being drug-pin. I hope you enjoy your shady knighthood and ill-gotten wealth.

If you think , we should break collective thoughts, even rules to realise personnal ambitions or challenges, then Sam must tax his coffie alone. It is a failure to break a law. Lawlessness is not a human's code. It is the crown in the animal's kingdom. But , are we really animals to the point of not being afraid to break rules, even sometimes? We will not allow personnal ambition to materalism misguide us in our co-existence with one another, if not , we become victims of greediness. A quicker way of consumming human lifes which is the opposite of the survival of the human being.I am Akan . I am not fascinated by your thoughts. We are the majority, and we must live to survive for the next generation. Sam option is individualism . It is quick, smart but consommes human's rations. It's end is the end of humanity . This is not Akan , it is for the Lords of the Flies. Excuse- us !
