Through tribalism/hegemony , corruption and a toxic mentality of lawlessness /lack of justice
NPP has power but NDC is truely in control , the pepeni/ayigbe conspiracy even today continues with the help of Bawumia and our own traitors like Sarfo Marfo , Joe Ghartey , Alan Kyeremanteng and other vainglorious idiots.Bawumia is a thief and a liar , what innovative plans , are they not all ideas that you have stolen from those who developed them. Your presentation show that they are all half baked badly prepared because those with the copyrights or did the work were not aware of you intentions . Nobody in his right mind or with any true understanding of the science of development of nations would ever turn to the Chinese for any solutions and we in Ghana should know better , just look at what they did to us in the NDC 8 years , idiot.Wherever Chinese influence and capital is dominant the people are backward , retrogressing and in misery, thats a fact. We know that Bawumia must have used his mallams to do juju on Nana so Nana is blind to all this stupidity coming from this very toxic fool Bawumia. I am going to break things down here for all to understand. Being able to read or being literate doesn't mean you are educated no matter how many Phd degrees you can boast off. on the issue of galamsey what really destroys our country causing the poisoning of the waters and barrenness of the land are the heavy metals including mercury and cyanide. The quantities of this product could not be imported into this country without the political blessing and pro-activism of both the exporting country China and ours. China is an exporter of economic terrorism and undermining our economic potential by actively corrupting our willing politicians and strategically destroying the future of our children. These are the allies of pepeni Bawumia , Mahama and all other Akan haters and their traitors amongst us. Where in the world today could you transport such quantities of these poisons mercury , cyanide and such without it being monitored? Can China claim they didnt know? the bill to now sort out the sanitation , water cleaning and waste management is now over $ 40 billion DOLLARS. Why do we we need Chinese money when the American EXIM bank has publicly offered us tens of billions with the much needed technology yet they are ignored as only Chinese and arab/muslim money is acceptable? I have said many times that the corner stone of any country's development are the diaspora , check Germany Japan China etc but in our country infested by Islamic stupidity we have rather a whole ministry for Zongo stupidity instead of just deporting them.the pepeni /ayigbe conspirators together with their Muslim and Chinese allies continue unabated to destroy our Akanland and push our people into poverty under the watch of kwasiapsanyin Nana Addo. NDC lost the elections because most Akans and patriotic citizens realized this party does not appreciate or reflect the true interests of the people but rather its a mafia criminal organization that will cause the eventual bloodshed among our people. After the death /murder of Mills NDC lost all its appeal and there was no hope it would ever get back on the right track to serve the interests of the people.NDC is a disappointment and will end up on the landfill of rubbish organizations . NPP from the looks of things will most likely also be joining them soon and in their place the AKAN freedom movement will rise. Anytime an Akan actually does something good or worthy for the nation some pepeni , ayigbe , Muslim or some other minority comes and destroys everything dead, that is the fact. 58% of our bauxite was handed over as a step to colonize the wealth of the Akan , were in the world would a minority be given such privileges if it was not to undermine the majority. All natural resources should be nationalized including gold , then properly developed as sustainable businesses then privatized through a coupon system so all citizens become direct owners . We are definitely a nation of idiotic fools , i have for a while decided to hold my peace because it seemed we have a sensible finance minister making the right moves but this toxic pepeni kwasiapanyin Bawumia has erased all good. Atta Mills went to bed with this Satan and it cost him his life together with 200,000 hardened criminals they sent here that have poisoned our water bodies and long term devastated our economy. China has ignored over a billion of their citizens in dire need of the entering into the post industrial era and come here and promise WHAT? I said that this Bawumia is the reincarnation of the devil and evil that air brained Nana has put in his office. He continues with his project of the islamisation of Ghana with the establishment of an Islamic university to breed toxic propagators of evil in our land. He blocks all Akan diaspora private capital in the tens of billions because its from primarily Christian countries. Where in the world has China given capital , technology and industry for another country to develop? The only reason why this is on the table is to make Ghana a suspicious ally at best to our western civilizations and other christian countries . We saw an influx of Islamic money which we don't need yet everyone played dumb because the political oligarchy is playing ball with the Muslim caliphate and soon our stubborn Christians will start seeing their children's throats being turned toward Mecca like goats and slashed . My brothers arm yourselves like our friends in Denkyira but wait for the clarion call to wipe out this cancer amongst us. Enough is enough

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. The guy is on some drugs or going through the beginning stages of Alzheimers. This is the same a-hole who has praised and declared the coup that overthrew Nkrumah as "a good coup".

Nkrumah not only thought clearly but tried to implement his progressive and visionary ideas until Sydney's idols - the leading Western countries - plotted and sponsored his overthrow.

Sydney is a complete shame and blot on his family history. His great-grandfather J.W. Casely-Hayford was a most remarkable and distinguished nationalist, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist. Sydney is just a pathetic, self-aggrandizing, colonial-minded idiot.

Ojam Kwame, Onuah Casely Hayford is correct in his contention that "we don't have clear thinkers"; if we did have astute thinkers, the wealth of Africa's mineral resources wouldn't give us these horrible images of "African Poverty", & the ungodly talk of "poverty alleviation" from multinational institutions.

Kwame are you aware that sub-Saharan Africa exports large quantities of gold & diamonds, but also large quantities of copper, bauxite, iron ore, uranium, phosphate rock, & manganese, small quantities of asbestos, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, germanium, lead, lithium, nickel, platinum, tantalite, tin, tungsten, vanadium, & zinc?

Africa is a major supplier of strategic minerals to the US & world markets which they've learned to utilize to develop their nations, while God is watching, because "Africa has a serious brain problem"? Or we haven't learnt to use what God bequeathed us. It all starts with education folks.

A man went in for a brain transplant operation and was offered a choice of two brains by the surgeon. He could choose either the Architect's brain which would cost him $10,000 or the Politician's which was $100,000.

"Does that mean that the politician's brain is much better than the Architect's?" exclaimed the clearly puzzled man.

"not exactly" replied the surgeon, "the politician's has never been used."

GOD OUR CREATOR gave us 'lingos' for a purpose and we have chosen to discard them for that of those who ENSLAVED US to so-called educate ourselves?????

It's just like watering your plants with kerosene and expecting them to blossom???? DON'T WE GET IT???

The results are there for all to see and we keep banging our heads for results?? Just as Casely Hayford is doing.........

WE AFRICANS HAVE THE ANSWERS!!!!! IT'S IN OUR LINGOS!!! CAN'T WE REALIZE THAT? WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS!!!!!!!

Somehow we are made to believe that when we mimic and APE around with other peoples' lifestyles and lingos we will become exactly like them....
It will NEVER happen! The results are there for all to see!!!!!!

Marcus, I can see that after all these years you still don't seem to get it.......Tell me the lingo we were all trained in, since our formative years in GHANA?

Was it Swahili? Or English?

So, my argument is what has that English done for us? Have we become like the English? Have we developed like them? What have we really achieved, apart from lacking critical thinkers and basic COMMON SENSE!!!!

Because all the thinking is being done for us through the use of somebody else's lingo.

I am thinking beyond your basics of the type or kind of so-called education system we should embark on, which has always been your argument. But Marcus, my brother.....FOR AS LONG AS WE SPEAK AND SO-CALLED EDUCATE OURSELVES IN SOMEBODY'S LINGO, WE WILL FOREVER BEEN 'WATERING OUR PLANTS WITH KEROSENE'!!!! And I'm sure looking around you, the results are too obvious.

Please think outside the box and have a productive argument instead of the childish challenges of whether I can speak Swahili or not.

If we were wise enough to have picked up an AFRICAN lingo to educate our AFRICAN selves......I can assure you that we would have been way ahead of those you are speaking their lingos.

Please go check your AFRICAN history properly and maybe, yes, maybe it might help you to come to the realization of who you really are as a creation of GOD........just like all other humans. You were created for a reason and not to be subjected to someone else's lingo.......alien to your culture, traditions and your own AFRICAN BEING.... PLEASE THINK DEEPLY ABOUT IT AND COME BACK WITH SOME POSITIVE THOUGHTS.....NOT CHILDISH PRANKS. (NO OFFENCE).

VERY SHAMEFUL AND DUISGRACEFUL TO THEIR SO CALLED EARNED ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION FROM UNIVERSITIES AT HOME AND ABROAD.

IT IS BECAUSE OF THE GHANAIAN AND THE AFRICAN NOT HAVING THE ABILITIES TO PERFORM, THAT. THEY ALL TO LOOK TO THEIR GOVERNMENTS TO FEED AND CLOTH THEM.

UNLESS THE SO CALLED PRIMITIVE SYSTEM IS OVERHAULED,GHANAIANS AND AFRICANS WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO BAD ECONOMIC ADVISES FROM FOREIGNERS AND TO LEAD ONLY TO ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION OF THE CONTINENT FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS.

WERE FOREIGNERS NOT ON THE CONTINENT FOR MORE THAN HUNDRED YEARS.WHY DID THEY FAIL TO BRING CHANGES AND DVELOPMENT IN AFRICA.

CAN YOU IMAGINE, BRITAIN TRAVELLING TO CHINA AND TO BEG FOR HONGKONG AND TO BUILD THE PLACE FOR WORLD TRADE.

ITS NOT THE QUESTION OF SERIOUS BRAIN PROBLEM, THEY DO NOT STILL KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

There is no black majority country where governmental systems works except maybe Barbados. Black man works best when a white man is supervising his or her work.

Mr Casely Hayford, you have nailed right on the spot. People will attack you bcos majority of Africans are sick. When the whites left Pretoria for the blacks see how dirty and smelly it is now. So many years have gone by yet Ghana still can not find the use for Korley Lagoon. I went for vacation in Asia to be precise Thailand and I was shocked to the bones. Whaat? A country that can boast of ONLY rice production oo...They dnt even know what is cocoa, coffee etc etc but they have harness the few resources they have to make Thailand a place to be. Our national capital still have rough roads in this modern world. Street lights are not working. Our beaches are rubbush. Gabbage is swallowing us. Eratic power supply bcos we are still depending on hydro power. We have bode3, bankye, mankani, bayire, in fact we have everything including bushmeat yet we are starving. Aden?
Our leaders go to Suncity, Pattaya, Bahamas etc to have fun. Are they blind to see good things and replicate that back home? The other day Ivor Greenstreet was almost eaten by a shark in Bahamas, Next time he wouldn't be lucky. Greedy, selfish heartless people milking the country. Oh mother Africa when? Mother Ghana daben? The youth are hopeless, the future look bleak, things are going frm bad to worse. The youth wake up and fight for ur future. Ghana is for us all. God bless my homeland Ghana and bless the youth most importantly.

WE HAVE TO START USING OUR BRAINS TO ANALYZE SITUATIONS. PRAYING AND ATTRIBUTING EVERYTHING TO WITCHCRAFT WILL NOT HELP US AS A PEOPLE.

I disagree. Africa does not lack critical thinkers, what Africa lacks is implementers and incorruptible leaders.

What makes someone incorruptible ? If you have clear brains to think and see the future you wouldn't be making stupid decisions..
So yeah his point still stands.

Mr. Hayford what are you doing to fix it? All people do in Ghana is complain and complain no decisions or solutions.

Most African countries thinkers better than their Ghanaian counterpart.Ghanai ans thinkers are only thinks about sophisticate ways of un-detect corruption and stealing money meant for development and they travel abroad for medical treatment.Some African countries can negotiate 50/50 fair deal business and others use minimum rain to product food for export and still have abundant to eat while Ghana with two raining seasons can figure our is pathetic and government abandon our local manufactures products and import products over $150,000 each which its life duration is three years or less will local manufactures produces exceed more than three years.Mr Casely Hayford think you for noticing but we have few thinkers who are not politicians and they are wonderful thinkers and producing wonderful and mind-browing products and they don't get helping sad and sicking whicle our actions kill our own industries and creating jobs for other people to enjoy the benefit of our foolishness while we wallow in poverty.

Its all bcos of wrong understanding of "education", it is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think
