I am not surprised that Dr.Ndoum has no other political topic to speak about than o criticize than African unity day which is very important to celebrate. Every Ghanaian can understand why this opportunist and greedy politician can not associate himself as CPP leader but to form his own party without any political future in Ghana."

Incredible! calling Paa Kwesi Ndoum low energy. Even at his age he is more energetic and full of wisdom. Ghanaian politicians are lazy and filling the national calendar with holidays so they can enjoy their ill gotten wealth. Ghana is a nation with 26 million lazy people. Do we ever dream to become a developed nation? That will never happen till thy kingdom come.

I can't understand why Ghana has all these many holidays. How do we become productive? Many of the holidays should be unpaid ones.

GHANAIAN'S HAVE HOLIDAYS EVERY HOUR

Three boys were bragging about their fathers.
The first one said, "My father runs so fast he can fire an arrow, start running, and get there before the arrow!"
The second one said, "That's nothing! My father can shoot a gun, start running, and get there before the bullet!"
The third boy just smiled. "That's nothing. My father works for the Postal Service. He gets off work at 5 and is home before 4!"

APEX, NDUOM MAY BE DOING GOOD AS A BUSINESSMAN, WILL HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? I DON'T THINK AND BELIEVE SO? WHY? THE AU(AFRICAN UNION) OF WHICH GHANA IS A HIGHLY RESPECTED MEMBER BY THE DEEDS OF OUR FIRST PRESIDENT AND OTHERS WHO HAVE FOLLOWED, COLLECTIVELY DECLARED THIS HOLIDAY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UN AND HAS SET TARGETS FOR ACHIEVEMENT; GOOD GOVERNACE, ERADICATION OF POVERTY AMOUGST OTHERS, MOST OF YOU ARE SO ENGROSSED IN YOUR LIMITATIONS SUCH THAT ALL YOU SEE AND HEAR IS A HOLIDAY, SADLY YOU ONLY ASSOCIATE HOLIDAYS WITH DRINKING, BEACH, AND FUN. BUT HOLIDAYS ARE LIKE A PAUSE IN LIFE FOR THE DAY TO BE NOTICED. IF ONE HAS NOT ACHIEVED ANYTHING IN LIFE SO AT LEAST IT IS NOT WORTH CELEBRATING ONES BIRTHDAY? SADLY NDUOM I AM AMAZED FOR ALL HIS SEEMINGLY EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT KNOW THAT GOOD GOVERNACE AND THE REASONS FOR WHICH HE SAYS HE WILL ABOLISH IT ARE A CONTINOUS PROCESSES, NOT A ONE OFF EVENT. IF HE WERE TO BECOME PRESIDENT, WHICH HE WILL NEVER BE, HE C-A-N-N-O-T ABOLISH THE HOLIDAY. IS HE GOING TO RULE GHANA IN ISOLATION,AND BOYCOTT THE AU, FOR WHAT REASONS? I THOUGHT HE IS AN NKRUMAHIST OR HAS HE LOST HIS SENSE OF DIRECTION? FOR INSTANCE HE NDUOM IS ALWAYS CRITIZING GOVERNMENT FOR GOING TO THE IMF AND THE WORLD BANK OF WHICH GHANA A DUES PAYING MEMBER, IF THESE AGENCIES ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE MANAGING OF ECONOMY, OUR RATINGS WILL GO DOWN AND WE WILL STRUGGLE ECONOMICALLY AND FINANCIALLY, HE CANNOT DO MUCH ABOUT OUR MEMBERSHIP, HE IS AWARE BUT FOR POLITICS HE IS ALWAYS SMOOTH TALKING, HE IS MORE OF A SNAKE UNDER GRASS.

Ghanaians are not lazy people. The system of Governm9ent is not allowing better education as it was during Osagyfou Dr. Kwame Nkruma's time. Blame part of the problem on lack of adequate education.

Trust me, you mother suffered for nothing. You were in her stomach for nine months with all agony for no reason. You are calling Paa Kwasi Ndoum irrelevant and what about Mahama?

Do you understand the AU? What is it? Tell me what the AU is all about? The AU is just a paper organization and that is it. It is irrelevant.

Mahama is urging other African nationals to come to Ghana without visa due to AU and Ecowas. Now, how many African leaders are making that sweeping statement and do you understand its meaning and its impact on Ghana? I hope you do else, just think about the dangers it poses on us.

I respect Dr. Nduom's opinion, However, I don't agree with anyone who takes the concept of African Unity lightly, if holidays are too many and some should eliminated, then ban those that were imposed on Africa by colonialism, eg: Christmas, Boxing Day, Easter, etc.

I am not surprised that colonized minds would reject one of the most significant aspects of the PanAfrican revolution, while completely accepting, embracing, and endorcing holidays that are of no significance to Africa's development.

ANYWAY WOULD YOU WANT US TO TAKE OUT THE CHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS ALONE OUT TO REDUCE THEM OR THAT OF THE MUSLIMS, YOU GUYS THINK HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT FOR DRINKING, BEACH PARTIES AND FUN. HOLIDAYS ARE LIKE "PAUSE" IN OUR LIVES, WHERE WE STOP ALL ELSE TO REFLECT ON THE REASON FOR THE PAUSE. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER WELL ESTABLISHED ENMITIES ALLOW THEIR WORKERS TO GO AND REST PERIODICALLY, ITS CALLED "LEAVE" DO THE VAST MAJORITY WHO ARE SELF EMPLOYED GO HOME TO REST? THEY WORK TILL THEY DROP DEAD OR RETIRE WITH SICKNESS, NDUOM A BUSSINESSMAN AND CAPITALIST LIKE PASTOR MENSAH OTABIL ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR BUSINESSES FIRST, A HOLIDAY TO HIM COST MONEY.

History

On 15 April 1958, in Accra, Ghana, African leaders and political activists gathered at the first Conference of Independent African States. In attendance were representatives of the governments of Egypt (then a constituent part of the United Arab Republic), Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon. This conference was significant in that it represented the first Pan-African conference to be held on African soil.[1]

The Conference called for the founding of African Freedom Day, a day to “mark each year the onward progress of the liberation movement, and to symbolize the determination of the People of Africa to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.”

Five years later, after the First Conference of Independent African States in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, another historic meeting occurred. On 25 May 1963, leaders of thirty-two independent African states met to form the Organization of African Unity (OAU). By then more than two-thirds of the continent had achieved independence, mostly from imperial European states. At this meeting, the date of Africa Freedom Day was changed from 15 April to 25 May, and Africa Freedom Day was declared African Liberation Day (ALD).

Limerick, Ireland, regularly hosts a festival for Africa Day.[2] The 2014 festival was filled with several African artis

I have been adviocatiNg the scrapping of this AU holidays from Ghanaian calendar. It is useless. Ghana has too many useless holidays and this AU holiday is one of them. What purpose is it for our nation development. Ghanaians love staying at home instead of working. There is a lot to be done to lift this nation from where we are and instead of going to work, we choose to stay home. Who is going to build our nation for us. The amount of man hours lost in Ghana through these useless holidays is imaginable and not until we sit up as a nation to work hard, there will be no progress for us. I therefore I agree in toto with Dr. Nduom that this holidays should be scrapped. I will also recommend to any forward looking and progressive subsequent go went to scrap it, it is useless and unnecessary.

The UP chastised Dr Nkrumah for pursuing The AU goal at the expense of Ghana. But without the AU the individual African Sovereign states will be powerless. The AU even if presently toothless is forever serving as a reminder that we belong together as oppressed people rising from the ashes. What we are doing with European holidays fostered on us? We cannot wipe our history. I believe in Nkrumaism and for this call to be coming from one of us is simply a blow below the belt. Besides employers/employees have leave periods to rest and restore the body. It has been a struggle to get this day recognized. Does he not want to be President at all sometime?

Africa is not bleeding. We are just here. Once colonized and now free. We are not in a race at all. Africa can never ever be even angry at the past. We cannot misunderstand life and enjoy existence. You are simply repeating what I have read. We sit and celebrate - where? At our workplaces? I know in every nation some works are around the clock because some outfits are simply designed that way. Dr Nduom is aiming the axe at the only celebration which is ours which crosses all party lines apart from Dr Nkrumah's birthday and Farmers Day. Religious holidays are trusted on us, but we need holidays to rest and for those who can make room come together to socialize. Our day offs does not provide such avenues. The debate will be lively is his axe is aimed at the holidays you mentioned which are FAITH HOLIDAYS (bringing us closer to God). What does a Christian do on
Eid Holiday and vice versa what does a Muslim do on Easter Monday? Rest and reflect on life's journey. In any case the vote will still be in favour of the holidays 95:5. I have always loved to hear Dr Nduom. He thrashed both late President Atta Mills and Nana at the debate just preceding the 2008 general elections. He has what it takes to be President of our great nation. His words cannot be taken lightly.

Well done Nduom for adding your voice to that of Prof Akosa who had earlier made such a call.Buffoon Mahama is just too dumb a president to understand the damage the numerous holidays do to the country's productivity

All these stupid holidays take away quality work time from the economy. Get rid of it and let us focus on building Ghana.

That's why I say Dr. Nduom is the right man for the he presidency. I have been thinking about this for a long time. Ghana had too many paid holidays. We are poor and yet we pay people to stay home for too many days in a year. We need to work to catch up on our development instead of having too many unnecessary holidays. These holidays reduce our output, which in turn stagnate our economic growth.

Please learn to appreciate what others have done. Whiles we are facing problems here and there never forget that people have strggled with strength, blood and mind to bring us this far.

All the past and current leaders have contributed to our very existence today.

We need to appreciate them before we put our agenda forward.

We cannot say that AU is rubbish or irrelevant or Mahama is a waste or whatever.

Did you read what the man wrote? He did not say get rid of AU Day. It is the holiday part he does not like. And for that you call him names? What's your beef. This sounds personal

Mr. Nduom, you were with CPP and you believe in Kwame Nkrumah but I don't think Kwame Nkrumah will forgive you about this statement. Sometimes you talk as if external forces are pushing you to say that because they think everything about Africa should go wrong for them to laugh. We are watching you.

Ghana as well as the whole of Africa must get it's priorities in the right perspective. Do we want to PRODUCE and advance or, we would rather keep PARTYING with too many holidays and stagnate or retrogress? I think Papa Kwasi Nduom has got it right! Shouldn't we as a nation debate the issue dispationately instead of trading unecessary insults on this forum?

A nation of 25 million, very little market, low productivity, bad roads and bridges, filthy environment, lack of basic social amenities, yet so many holidays. How do we intend to become a prosperous nation? When will Ghana stop begging other countries we call ' developmental partners' for money to balance our budget. Ndoum is right. Ghana needs to grow brains.
