I have a similar observation. Ghanaweb operators are lazy goons. Washington is a state and not a city. Washington Dc is a city and not Washington.

There was no substance in that statement as how long he has lived there. It has nothing to do with whether he is knowledgeable or ignorant and the latter being usually the case. He has not yet met someone who has not been there and knows and understands how things work where he lives, which he has no idea about.

On a more serious note it is worth verifying information you are putting out there. You are not exempted from the blame. Quality journalism must be pursued as we expect to hold public officers accountable all must play their part.

Investment and business partnership are a convenient political tool to achieve or attain success where governments fall short in scope of development.

Mr. Mayor, since you know about this relationship to go asking, why is your government not providing the opportunities to assure local financiers. The likes of Mark Z are able to assist because the US has ingeniously provided incentives to reward folks like Mr. Z. Ghana must learn to create, it is not difficult to design a financial portfolio to attract our own rich and local ambitious entrepreneur.

It is shocking that our so-called intellectuals and leaders think that we can only get good things done by getting foreigners into our country.
We are failing to understand that we are in competition with other nations for resources development. The best way is to have confidence in the little resources we have and manage it properly.
Tamale has a lot of resources for example, if we are serious about revenue collection and stop leakages, a lot could be mobilised for development.

Zuck will not invest his money in a violent area like Tamale. Such a wise investor will do proper and extensive research on such a "patapaa" area of Ghana. Superior, tell your people to stop their violent attitude before any person will go there and waste his or her money, Tweaa Tamale. Tamale is worse than Denkyira Boase.

Think about the impact of the success of this trip on the Tamale metropolis and Ghana as a whole.
If you care to know, Mr Z is very very interested in Africa, especially how to get FB across to the remote and deprived areas.

So what? Learn how to accept simple mistake there are millions of people in united states who doesn't know Ghana is a country maybe including the president so pls don't make big deal about it. The important thing is this u all need to do is advice d mayor that even he's going to seek business for. Tamale but he's still representing Ghana and Ghana is not Islamic nation and many ppl around d word don't trust Muslims any way so when he get to meet. Mark. Z he better don't d word.

Mayor. There are US representatives in Ghana. If you want to lobby for business opportunities for Tamale contact them. Get in touch with the embassies. You don't need to travel with Tax payers money to meet Facebook founder.

I liked your initiatives so far. But as for this one it shows you haven't had the needed exposure to hold such a position.
it would have been more acceptable to attend a business forum or conference organized in US than what you have posted on your Facebook page.

Anyway, I still have confidence in you to deliver.
God bless you.
All the best.
