    Ghanaians and mediocrity

    Is he the only one in such a post? Whats so special about this?

  • Sekou Toure 3 months ago

    We think piling up responsibilities is an achievement. To me it’s called “Work till you drop dead.” A few times, I have seen Akwaboah in a Morgan Stanley advertisement on CNN. I think that’s good to see a Ghanaian in ...

    There's work and there's work, take Joe Biden as an example, he could have easily retired but he's not.

    Sometimes it's not just about the money. Some people take pleasure in their work and will much rather rather than ret ...

    This man probably has a life outside of work. WORK IS NOT 24/7. He may have a family; wife, children and friends. This man is living his life as he sees fit. Your stupid opinionated questions only defines you, NOT him. He DOE ...

    Vanity of vanities; all is vanity. Thus says the Bible. Find a Bible and read what King Solomon wrote before he died.

    Very sensible comment but the unwise would come here to insult you. I almost killed myself years ago working for a private company. I was taking up responsibilities and carrying them out so well that my superiors kept them c ...

    This man will fail bitterly in the polluted waters of Ghana. I wish him well wherever he is and congratulations.....

  • If he was in Ghana we will destroy him 3 months ago

    If he was in Ghana, we will tag him NDC or NPP and find a way to bring him down. We only celebrate our heroes when they succeed outside.

    He is serving a US company.
    Ghana will never be great if we have to leave our motherland to be great in a foreign land.

    ...and Bright Simmons is in Ghana living on subsidies under the pretext of NGO only to throw salvos to proof existence for more subsidies.

  • Same was said about Nana 3 months ago

    We are interest in net worth not just assets. What about liabilities? Especially long term debts

  • Facts 3 months ago

    Exactly its a government backed institution responsible for guaranteeing home loans. Not a private firm. BRIGHT Simmons is not bright. Secondly he is a COO not a CEO so he is one of the leaders not "the leader".

  • Chief 3 months ago

    We are only good at always trying to associate with the success of hardworking people. How is he a Ghanaian?

    The Nigerian young man is the Treasury Secretary ( Deputy Finance Minister) of the United States of America. What if he had been a Ghanaian? I guess the whole country will worship him.

  • Senga 3 months ago

    WHY DO WE CLAIM ANYONE WITH A “ GHANAIAN NAME “ TO BE GHANAIAN? OBAMA IS AMERICAN NOT KENYAN!
    IS IT IGNORANCE OR STUPIDITY????

  • Nii Armah 3 months ago

    What is this suppose to mean. I thought Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were some of those banks that went down under in the economic crunch. This calls for interrogation.
