LOOKING AT THE DESTRUCTION NDC HAS CAUSED TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN THE PAST 6 YEARS, ANY TALK ABOUT THIS INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION WINNING THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS, WOULD BE DEEMED AS A BIG INSULT ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL GHANAIANS!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF NDC TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE 2016 ELECTIONS, THEY MUST RATHER RENDER THEIR UNRESERVED AND SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA, FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED. NDC ARE NOT MANAGERS, THEY ARE DAMAGERS!!!!!!!!

In abundance of water the fool is tasty. In abundance of rich minerals the Ghanaian is poor. When one of its members tried to bring transformation you will see the endemic silly minded shouting you cannot do it. Truly a prophet is without honour except in his own country. If you don’t have the mind of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah you can never bring change to Ghanaians. The mind of Nkrumah speaks louder beyond our borders.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” (Martin Luther King Jnr,)

It is very simple to develop the people to take charge in managing their own affairs; people must be encouraged to use their minds effectively and positively. The black person has been an object of mockery in the world for a very long time. Those with great knowledge expertise were and are being exploited outside their country of origin through “brain drain” philosophy. All because we don’t we believe in ourselves.

Most black people are so corrupt and greedy to point of selling their conscience for bread to betray their own. Today in our own land, our own people serve as agents to foreign agents to thwart the growth and development of our people and nation. Many of our own go round the world misinforming our development partners from given us assistance or delay the processes that will enhance our development.

Such non entities vociferous traitors are in the country trying very hard every morning to make their voices heard to prove to their partners that they are doing well. However if you analyse them carefully, you will begin to ask questions.

What have they done for their community?
What are their personal achievements?
Where is their source of income?
Who pays their monthly wages and living allowance?
What transformation have they brought to their immediate community?

It is not how much you can shout but what sense you can make. It is very true empty barrels make the most noise.

You can never effectively comment on any leader's performance just by reading the history books. You must have lived under that person to praise or demean that leader.

Lat Don, what an excellent brief! I really enjoyed reading your post and in fact, it said it all. Yes, and sadly:-
1. if one doesn't have the mind of Dr Kwame Nkrumah one can never bring change to Ghanaians and the minds of our leaders at our national, local and community levels must s
sound louder beyond our borders.
2. we must not seek to drink from the cup of bitterness and hatred. Rather fostering unity to identify our problems and commit to managing and solving them together.
3. it has becoming depressing views to see and hear our own people selling our conscience for 'nok0 fio' thus, betraying our own. We tend to take irresponsible and meaningless actions which, always seem to infantile to say the least to satisfy our myopic, personal and egocentric political ends.
4. Our people love to easily adore and copy other countries but they fail to learn or find out how those countries have managed to reach their current positions. For our ignorant brothers they don't know how much these countries have seriously suffered to become the nations they are today. Sadly, As you stated, some of our people have found it more convenient to become agents to foreign agents to sabotage our growth and development- Afrifa, Kotoka,Akufo Addo(Sen), Harley and co. Oh don't forget UP- 'ma te me' ho' gangs of Dombo, Danquah and Busia who went to Westminster and told the British government not to grant us
independence simply because it did not suit these greedy and single minded, nation wreckers should Ghana be granted independence!! Unfortunately, their descendants, the narrow-minded, are displaying same inherited colours and behaviours of their violent, indiscipline, arrogant, murderers and good for nothing forefathers.
To you and I we must support and make our citizen contribution to any government who, demonstrate commitment to the advancement and progress of Ghana irrespective of their political flavours. Long live Ghana.

Kofi Arhin, I agree with you. The man is one of those who willingly, in spite of apparently many years of schooling, out of which I understand he has become one of these cheap, exploitative and corrupt Ghanaian lawyers, stubbornly chooses to be illiterate.

How can anybody who has schooled even up to primary level in Ghana, say such abominable and untruthful things against his own people and rather say complimentary things in favour of people who did worse things to us and other Africans, than what terrorists like ISIS are doing today around the world? It is only a dishonest and corrupt mind that can come out with this kind of trash. Misrepresentation of the truth - willingly or unwittingly is as bad as taking bribes to spoil a case in court.

To begin with, he should go and find out if Guggisberg, the colonial dictator, had ever heard about the word and principles of democracy - and if he had, what did he do about it in the Gold Coast whilst he was Governor. As far as I know, up to 1957 when Nkrumah smashed the nefarious activities of the criminal imperialists and introduced democracy in the full sense of the word, the native citizens of the Gold Coast had never had the privilege of voting to elect their leaders and thereby enjoying the fruits of democracy for the many centuries that Guggisberg and his gang of imperial thieves, knaves and tyrants freely plundered and looted the resources of the Gold Coast by the shipload every week, every month and every year. Some of us are not impressed that the colonial tyrants threw a few pounds and bottles of whisky at our vulnerable chiefs and forefathers to keep them happy and quiet whilst they the colonialist - including Guggisberg, made away with billions of pounds worth of our looted resources and African slaves.

I dare that illiterate Ankomah clown to simply take stock of the number of public education and health institutions that after almost 500 years of resource-looting, slavery and colonial dictatorship, his slave masters left in Ghana at the time of independence in 1957. He should then compare whatever statistics he arrives at with the number of public education and health institutions that were established in Ghana by Kwame Nkrumah alone between 1957 and 1966. He should then publish his findings on this platform.

If Ankomah is not satisfied with that, he should freely come out to enumerate a menu of what exactly his colonial dictators – including Guggisberg, did for the benefit of the people of the Gold Cast that has since not been equalled or bettered by the subsequently - even in the worse cases, more democratic leaders of Ghana since independence. The damned fool that he is.

If at his age, Ankomah still does not know that the imperialists who randomly committed genocide against the ‘native’ people of the Gold Coast, built the railway lines and the Takoradi harbour only to make it easier for them to steal our resources, then he is not only a complete illiterate but a fool as well. He is a typical example of the mis-educated African like Kufuor and Mahama, who get high by sniffing white peoples arses around and signing ridiculous agreements with them to enable them continue ripping us off some more. Somebody needs to tell the idiot that the Korle Bu hospital that Guggisberg built, primarily for the convenience of his fellow-colonial tyrants, was even smaller in capacity than just the Korle Bu Polyclinic part of the hospital. 90% of the main Korle Bu Hospital that we see today was added-on by Kwame Nkrumah. Fifty years after the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumahs govt by the subservient and menial likes of Ankomah, 80% of the existing national health infrastructure that he Ankomah and his family continues to benefit from, was established by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The ungrateful ignorant swine that he is.

He Ankomah is only just a glorified and ungrateful bush-boy who has lately become ‘somebody’ in Ghana - and not the Gold Coast, by virtue of the socio-economic endeavours of Kwame Nkrumah and the institutions that he established to raise the quality and the image of Ghanaians as well as all Africans on the continent and abroad in the Diaspora, to all other civilized peoples in the world.

Why in his presentation did Ankomah the imperialist errand boy, dodge - or to be polite, deviously avoid mentioning Kwame Nkrumahs name in his shameful presentaion? It is because he knew he was lying. If he is man enough, he should come again. Bloody house-nigger! He can talk such nonsense to equally ignorant media practitioners who dont know any better but when such rubbish gets to our attention, we will deal with him effectively.

The railways was to transport our natural resources to Takoradi harbor for shipment overseas. The Achimota collage was originally for the colonial master's children.

The name" Ace" tells you that this guy was adopted from neighbouring country . He has little knowledge about Ghana and as well as it's leaders. But anyway i agree with you about mahama government failling to prosecute or collect the monies which where paid wrongly. You can not continue to borrow to build the country when we have a lot and giving it out without work done.

When you read what some ghaians has written about what ace Ankomah said and their responds it is clear some ghanaians lack thinking. Kwame Nkrumah is the most stupid among all leaders Ghana hsa ever had. During Nkrumah time agriculture goods were valued more than industrial goods, That was the period Ghana was producing cocoa more than any country in the world. We could have buily good school rhan Achimota than what we did. Presently tell me which school is better than Achimota in Ghana.

Ace makes a very good point. He cannot be ridiculed for it because he has laid bare achievements and failures over successive governments on the same platform. I am surprised he did not focus on Nkrumah to give him enough kudos because he did lots. However, Ace Ankomah should realise that G'berg was also a thief because the construction and extension of railway networks all led from the valuable mines straight to the port for shipment to the obroni. We have been robbed since day 1. The truth is that the thieves today are worse. So we just need one honourable small thief. A small thief who will be happy to have 1 big house, 2 cars and all children education fees all paid for, plus a plot of ;and to do some small farming. Thats it.

Kwame Numah wasted the huge amout of moey and resources the colonialists left in the country's coffers.

Was Nkrumah, at Independence, not capable of linking the capital Accra, with all the regional capitals as late Houephet-Boingy did in Ivory Coast?

Could Ghana not have built the Akosombo Dam without borowing to build it?

Nkumah had inordinate ambition to become president of Africa hence he established OBENIMASE CAMP in the Eastern Region to train Freedom Fighers to go back and destabilise their respective governments.

Tuozzafi, I guess that you have been reading the wrong books. Money is an uncountable noun and as such, it has no plural. Spellings such a "moneys" or "monies" are allowed in certain old or technical usages though. For example, in technical legal documents, it is allowed for one to use the term "moneys" or "monies". But one thing is clear: in all ordinary usages, money is to be used as an uncountable noun. I hope that I have succeeded in giving you some proper education which you missed by reading those books?

Massa Ace Ankomah ; your comparison of Guggisberg leadership as the best leader although a good historical piece cannot stand up to proper scrutiny ;I would strongly disagree with some of the points you made because this Guggisberg was not a leader elected by Ghanaians and therefore had no affiliation in terms of family connections in Ghana or any tribe affiliation in Ghana; he was taking his orders direct from London and had most of Administrators being whites and the Army was controlled by Whites ; the man had no families and had no allegiance to anybody ; his only allegiance was to the Queen of England ; do not forget there was a motive for these British Colonial powers providing these services the motive was simple their own SURVIVAL in Ghana and Africa because for any thing they looted from the shores of Ghana ; we as Ghanaians got very little besides if you do an audit of all the projects that he initiated in Ghana in monetary terms and compare it to the audit of the amount of resources these British looted from our shores ; the amount spent sinks into insignificance; the same is happening today because today it is not the British looting from the shores of Ghana ;we now have international Bankers called the IMF /World Bannk ; Goldmah Sach racketing in huge interest from loans they borrow Ghana besides this you have individual heads of state JJ Rawlings ; J Kuffour ; Jon Mahama looting to state assets for their families ; to me therefore this poor idea that Guggisberg was the best leader is a FARCE and a complete FRAUD !!!!!!!

Hardly any surprise that the morally and racially bankrupt Danquah-Busia operatives should fawn over our past colonial exploiters. The statistics speak for themselves. The CPP led by the great Osagyefo did, in 9 short years, what the British invader-occupier-exploiters could not do in over 200 years!

Danquah-Busia propaganda is not ashamed to cite the limited infrastructure - which was laid out to extract the wealth of the country to Britain - as an achievement!

Had it not been the democratizing revolution in educational infrastructure launched by Nkrumah, Ankomah would in all likelihood be an illiterate, substenance peasant cocoa farmer or a substenance fisherman. The few schools/colleges established by the colonial authorities were for creating a subservient elite - as evidenced by Danquah and Busia.

Thanks to Nkrumah, we no longer have "European Hospital", "Ridge" neighbourhoods where only European colonials lived and were barred to us indigenes and the likes.

Someday when Ankomah overcomes his racial inferiority complex and gets rid of his colonial mentality, he will recognize the objective truth of our history and Nkrumah's liberating achievements.

Guggisberg can only be considered the best leader Ghana ever had according Ace Ankomah's definition of Ghana, and his definition of development. It is immaterial to Ace Ankomah if nothing significant was done about the rest of Ghana, especially the three northern regions. Dr Kwame Nkrumah's free education policy is not development to Mr Ankomah because it is not an edifice like the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Ace Ankomah did not have to live before independence to be reasonable in his analysis. It just calls for a little reflection to acknowledge that Ghana is broader and development has different interpretations. If that is done and there is sincerity, Guggisberg will pale into insignificance before any of our presidents, let alone a colossus of Dr Nkrumah.

The biggest problem about us is our lack of ability to analyse without emotion. Ace simply compared someone who did not have to do anything good here; after all it was not his country, to our own fellow citizen's leadership and comparative achievements. Why all the insults? All he is saying is if an outsider can achieve X, then a native should achieve far more! Is this rocket science?!! Don't be blinded by the typical emotions that the whites have always taken advantage of!

This man is always looking for attention, follow him on facebook and read his posts. It like the page of a secondary school boy. I believe he has some sort of psychological problem. Nowadays people have completely stopped offering different opinions on his page, he cannot stand another person's view point at all. He is committing all kinds of blunders with his stupid statements but no one can advise him. He has a large following of equally infantile worshippers even though nowadays his popularity is waning.

Even though people are entitled to their opinions l think ace six is trying to gag Ghanaians with his imperialist ideas. Yes, the imperial governor did all that but he failed to develope the north cause ace's forbears ganged up with the imperial governor to pepertuate the north as their source of cheap labour for their gold mines and cocoa farms.

I find this article very strange. Guggisberg was a Colonial Administrator whose primary interests & allegiance was to the British Crown. Therefore, he served in other African countries as a British Colonial Administrator & not just in Ghana. Guggisberg did achieve a lot during his term as a British Colonial Governor of the Gold Coast. It is an insult to the sacrifices made by the many people whom died fighting for independence to state that Guggisberg was the best leader that Ghana had. He was a loyal public servant of the British Crown and as received a Knighthood for the contribution he made in safeguarding his country's interests abroad.

Ace is one critical mind and very analytical on issues and usually spot on. But on this occasion I totally disagree with him.
I wish he had attached a more scientific evidence to his assertion of leadership supremacy of Sir Gordon Guggisberg.
In any case, he had an era void of noninterference from military and political disruptions. He should have done much more better we see today. The railways and other infrastructural developments they undertook was done to convey goods to the ports to feed their industries in Europe and not for our convenience and narrow roads for their small cars at that time.
I think I know why he jumped straight to John Kuffour and John Mahama, these are easy targets to support such a populist argument. We all known they don't measure when Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is mentioned.
Osagyefo's infrastructural development was meant to give sufficiency to the Ghanaian. He built a port and a city to house its workers, a motorway to facilitate the transportation of goods and services as well as a railway. Among a plethora of development are tomato and meat processing plants, an oil refinery, atomic reactor etc.
We must not skew facts especially when historical evidence proves otherwise else our intellectual honesty will be brought to question.
Let's be true to our true heroes and country, God bless Ghana.

Guggisberg didn't face the assassination attempts and bomb throwing that Nkrumah suffered in his bid to develop the country. Guggisberg didn't face that kind of stupid opposition who violently opposed everything Nkrumah did. America was not interested in getting rid of Guggisberg because Guggisberg had no plans that will benefit Ghana and Africa. Guggisberg was just putting infrastructure in place to speed up the stealing of our resources to benefit Britain. Think! When Guggisberg was governor, we had no right to talk. We had no right to be head of companies. We had no right to go to parliament. We had no right to own shops in our own country. Guggisberg what??? Ankomah, you're mad.

Lawyer Ace. Re-phrase your script well. I know Lawyers insist on the right and better particulars. So the facts must be correct. Governor Guggisberg was a leader in the Gold Coast. He never ruled Ghana so how does he become the best leader Ghana ever had? Even at the time of independence Governor Guggisberg had long ceased to be our leader.
