WHY OUR JOURNALISTS ARE USELESS
According to a story on Ghanaweb, "The Eastern regional Secretary of Ghana Journalists Association, Maxwell Kudekor, entreated the Universities in Ghana to collaborate with the media to find solutions to national problems through researches.
He appealed to KTU to offer scholarship opportunities to Journalists to be train[ed] in various academic disciplines, especially Engineering, Environment and Technology to build capacity of journalists to help communicate effectively in these fields to support the industrial drive of the country."
It is time Ghanaian go back to learn from the British and Nigerians when it comes to journalism and this exonerates JB Dankwa's assertion that Ghana was not ripe for independence. Look, in Nigeria journalism is offered for only one year and you cannot use WASSCE Cert to enter their school of Journalism. Their entry requirement is a university degree, HND, Army School Cert, Police College Cert, Charted accountancy Cert, etc, and so by the time an individual completes the one year programme they already have their academic or professional background to work with. This diversifies the field of journalism and brings everybody on board. You see, Ghana is so backward in everything. Thanks to our useless university education that seeks to suppress polytechnic graduates at all cost.

The government must not yield to threats and ultimatums from any group.I am a farmer and they do not speak for me.Galamsey is a nation issue and must not be handled as a local problem.We are asking the government to close down these operations down permanently and also cease the lands from the local leaders who allow their lands to be used for illegal mining.

Remove the 4 th Republic.Imprison all the past ministers,chiefs,immigration officets.We need a coup d' etat.26years of 'democracy' the politicians have stolen 20 times what the army stole in 13 years.Governments have disavowed their mandates.So there is moral right to remove them by force of arms.

Why our government has been sitting there for all this years and let this illegal business goes on unchecked? Now Chinese control our government, for eight years our useless NDC government did nothing about it. Burn it.

No, you don't burn the farm but rather the beans, if you have to, for that season. It will send a strong signal to government and they will respond.

Wontumi, the Ashanti regional chairman of the NPP, is the chief architect of Galamsey in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions. The man openly boasted that he has over 200 excavators. We also know the a 'big' chief in the Eastern region is the galamsey kingpin in that region. The government must be bold to openly expose these men before going after the minnows in the business. If for any reason the government is unable to do it, then we must as well shut up and watch all others do it as our environment keeps deteriorating.

Please I support you 100%. Burn your cocoa farms and leave the land bare and let's see where they will get their stupid cocoa syndicated loans they end up stealing. Please burn it wai and let's see which of you two, the cocoa farmers and galamseyers which one is important and whose money contributes to their foolish and stupid GDP and budget. A useless government, Parliament, chiefs, judiciary and police, none of them contribute monies to the national coffers but rather drains it heavily but these ingrates, subhumans, greedy bastards, evil leaders enjoy most from your sweat many many years. Please burn it because Akufo Addo and his useless appointees are saying they are now thinking about how to stop them but not even ban it and not now but this year's ending that they seek to take action. Nation wreckers like them. Please burn it and let us all suffer because we are fools and the they are the first fools. They will get where they will dig their longest hands or find their corrupt monies to rob, buy V8s and other stupod things. Insane leaders. Abodamfo) leaders!!! Nkwaseasem ne agyimis3m nkoaaa!!!
