  We are a people who have lust for foreign things. Can you imagine that even our chiefs and traditional priests ban Ghanaian brewed alcohol from their palaces and shrines.

  All sugary drinks should come with high tax whether local or imported. The damage to public health is just too much. Huge profits are being made at the expense of the NHIS system

  Who doesn't know all these facts? In the midst of plenty, the African is such a dumb ass, infact, a big fool. Let a Ghanaian set up a natural fruit juice company and see how it will run: All the wives of the male workers there will suddenly emerge as fruit sellers without any proof of having any startup capital. Are we not monkeys? Tweeea. Ghanaians.
