    What do you think China is doing? Almost every country they have helped has a Chinese emblem or something on their money. China is huge and they wouldn't want no African to buy a mine in China. Why are we even selling Ghanaia ...

    Those expressing interests in putting their monies in the Chinese company must think twice. That's the only thing I can say looking at the current situation.

    Were there no contraceptives like condom in 1940 in Ghana? We wouldn't be having all these problems. At least the mother could have drunk some "blue" to get that deformed fetus out. She could have been a heroine for Ghana

    Why should we give it to foreigners for bribes by npp dogs. We should stop this nonsense now and look at the 24 hour economy, we can do better under NDC.

  • Skylark 1 year ago

    I'm not Ghanaian but this is sad. If you have gold in your own country, you can anything in this world. You can build your nation and the people with it. I don't understand why your government sold it to foreigners.

  • Gbeh Agbo 1 year ago

    We do it to ourselves, if a Ghanaian noñ political wants to build a business, stupid and greed npp politicians stop them and give the business to corrupt Chinese who bribe the npp dogs
