RIP. He worked for Stanford University in California? Journalist didn't do a great job. American African like Kofi Annan and the like. They left Ghana because of the leaders. Lack of human rights.

He did not contribute to the growth of Ghana in any way during his hey days. He spend all his youthful career in USA and returned to Ghana when he turned over 60 years and was less useful to the American society.

Let the Americans celebrate him for his contributions to their economy not Ghana.

It's better we celebrate our brothers and sisters in the village who are making sure that there's GH tomorrow not people like this man

Yes, I totally agree with u..as much as he had a vision, he wasted all his youthful age in the USA..Ghana as a country didn’t benefit much from his knowledge..we need to celebrate those teachers and nurses in our villages serving our communities..Any Ghanaian who comes back home from abroad after 60years cannot contribute anything meaningful to our country..as a Ghanaian, if u want to come back to help out country, the best times is either in your late 30’s or in your 40’s..I like Dr Mensah because he was very intelligent but he never contributed anything meaningful to the development of Ghana..you are 100% right about that..anyways, my condolences to the family of Mr Mensah..

Whether he worked in Ghana or not, are the people of Ghana not benefiting from the research he conducted with others in the US? Could he have done so if he had stayed and worked in Ghana? We should be glad that there are Ghanaians in the diaspora who are assisting in finding solutions to problems of humanity on a global scale. Anyone doing so in Ghana? Try to eradicate chew and pour as a start......

Those work work work should learn to live. Just 5 comments in here after 24hrs for such a great brain. Me starting on April 1st, am gonna relax and spend more time with family and friends, pick up some sporting activity and visit nice places in Ghana once a month, and get a small girl once a while to relief pressure coming from wifey. Reduce the beers and liquors to wine. This will even make me live longer than the current work work with colleagues who can be very unsupported and appreciative

Sorry y to say he did not invert fiber optics. Ghanaians always have a funny way of laying claims to something they are not part of and also twisting history.

Because of corruption and unpatriotic Ghana leaders don’t see the importance of technologists and their lasting impacts on society and their legacies to continue.As Ghanaian ms inventors demanding help from our imbeciles leaders to teach Ghanaians the knowledge of their inventions to continue their legacy and to create jobs they rather prefer they should die with their know how.We hear of investors claiming people wants to come and learn but because they don’t have machines to teach and useless leaders jubilate when they die leaving no legacy because imports will fill their greedy pockets and Ghanaians jobless.
