  A Guinea fowl says to a bull, "I would love to get on top of that tree, but I haven't the energy."
  
  "Well," says the bull, "why don't you eat some of my dung? It's packed with nutrients."
  
  So the Guinea fowl eats some dung and finds that it gives him enough energy to get to the first branch. The next day, he eats some more and gets to the next branch. This cycle continues for a week. Finally, the Guinea fowl is at the top of the tree, where he is spotted by the farmer, who shoots him with a shotgun.
  
  Moral of the Story: bullsh*t might take you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
  
  SOME OF THE LEADERS OF THE NORTHERN REGION ARE THE ONES WHO CREATED POVERTY IN THE NORTH.
  LETS NOT FORGET WHEN ONE OF THEIR LEADERS SAID THE GUINEA FOWLS ARE RETURNING FROM BURKINA FASSO.

  You forgot to mention Batere bon, Prapra Baabi Da, Na enso eben, Otwe Adukro mu. The 'Timber Kwan" that allowed tractors to ferry people to all those areas on market days are no more. They have become footpaths. Sorry to say some Northners are rich but do not remember the North anymore. Their people wallow in poverty while the business people, politicians, the rich have all become Southners now. They even don't build in their hometowns.

He did more than many of them.During his time, Ghana became a recognized exporter of foodstuff, some roads were build, some hospitals were brought to standards and Estates were built. He was killed for nothing. Those who killed him are even more guilty of the crimes they accused him of.

The only solution is better railways system which links the Sout to the North with few hours . This would readdress the poverty divide the have exisisted since time memorial. Invest in railways system , fast link railway system of a kind. Even if these enage in farming who buys their products without effective transportation system.

  What is this nonsense a minister will spew out and expect no bad comments from discerning readers? What is his gov't support for livestock, rice, maize, beans, cotton, yams, millet, etc production in the northern, UE & UW regions of Ghana? Will he wonder why SADA and GYEEDA are not working? Can he explain why G-CAP and Northern Rural Growth are not working? Is it about project proposal writing that these listed projects did fail?

  how many times have we not heard this tape played over and over again? that was why SADA, GYEEDA , YES, ect ect were tried and all ended up in corruption of gargantuan proportions. Where is the CEO of RLg now, managing the loots of Mahama in Dubai. Northerners are their own enemies DR Gariba and co were given the chance to improve the lot in the north and all the money the govt provided ended up in pockets because it was given as a gift never to be paid back because a northerner is head of govt and notherners MUST also Chop small! this is the mentality in the north and NO govt investment will succeed there , EVER, Mark my words and follow up all that goes in there always ends up in private northern pockets and lost forever!

  With all due respect to the Minister, the governments of Ghana are fully responsible for the economic stagnation of the North. They have failed to secure long term markets,protection form unfair competition from cheap imports, opening up external markets through trade expos abroard, appropriate infrastructure/funding to beneficiate/store products and viable prices for the products from the North. Until this is done, nothing will come from such speeches. Is is not a joke to require mainly illiterate farmers to prepare business plans? Their business plans are in their heads. Those in charge need to find innovative and relevant solutions to challenges.Lets stop being academic!!!

  NO region gets more freebies than the "north", and it is because of that they they love being called "northerers" which connote poor people.
  
  Beginning from the colonial days through Nkrumah to now projects have been sent up north to bring them up to par. Many of them are now stinking rich but refuse to go live in the "north".
  
  There have been many SADAs and there will still be more. Maybe just maybe government should treat them just like any other region, and things will improve.

  Spio-Garbrah said that all the other people in NDC government are team 'B' except himself. He alone is team 'A'. SADA was established to develop the northern parts of Ghana and reduce the poverty there. Unfortunately, Alhassan Andani and his SADA team have misappropriated all the SADA funds and the people are still poor. This has made SADA a sad story so don't force the northerners to say that they are not poor. The reality is that poverty is still widespread in the northern regions. You can look for Alhassan Andani and ask him to return the SADA cash.
