When did Busia close down Nkrumah's factories? Busia was only 2 and half years in power before he was removed. As far as I can remember, almost all of Nkrumah's factories were still at work during Acheampongs "Operation feed yourself era" So when did Busia sell Nkrumah's factories? You lie too much. No wonder you are Ewe.

THIS GUY CONTINUES TO LIVE IN THE WILDERNESS.

HAS HE FORGOTTEN THE MASS IMPORTATION OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING TOOTH PICKS AND SECONDHAND WOMEN UNDERWEARS INTO THE COUNTRY IN THE TIME OF OFFICE OF THE NPP UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF KUFFOUR.

HAS HE ALSO FORGOTTEN THAT, IT WAS THE GOVERNMENT OF NPP THAT SOLD GHANA's FERTILE LANDS FOR THE CULTIVATION GRAINS TO FEED THE GROWING POPULATION TO FOREIGN NATIONALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OIL SEED PLANTS FOR BIOFUELS IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT DOES HE UNDERSTANDS BY THE WORD ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

WHAT TYPE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS HE HOPING TO BE UNDERTAKEN IN THE COUNTRY-BUYING AND SELLING.

HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT, THE ECONOMIC WEALTH OF A COUNTRY DEPENDS ON TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY.

OUR NATION GHANA IS VERY LUCKY THAT, NPP NEVER HAD THE MANDATE TO RULE GHANA AGAIN.

NPP CORRUPTED THE NATION.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT DISASTER FOR THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS IN GHANA.

PURELY LOSE WORDS.

HOW DO WE PROGRESS AND ADVANCE WITH SUCH IGNORAMT POLITICIANS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT IS INDEED PITY AND SAD FOR OUR NATION.

Mr "Poodle" Akomea is the the lecturer of economics,few years ago,he was advocating for import and export of illicit drugs.When the NPP had the mandate to rule Ghana,it was all system go.Sitting on the sidelines of government has suddenly made him a "clever"man.His medium of choice is Peace Fm,where he feels at home and torment his opponents like a jackal.First he has no manners,second,very abusive,thirdly,a bully.He has for the past 4years preaching the gospel of NPP,but no one listens to him,Randy Abbey was his partner in crime on that corrupt Tv show.Infact,that show was a product of kindergarten grade,it was poor.Now,Mr Poodle Akomea is talking economics,what is his next subject?Ghanaians run for cover or get ear plugs.

home loans in usa are 3.88% for 30 years, I bought 2013 pickup truck for 4.9% for 5 years..How can you expect to expand at 30% yet they only pay 3% to small savers! Thats too much profit for the banks!

This con artist should take a back seat when it comes to imports.It is the NPP that opened the floodgate for imports.All sympathizers of the NPP became importers overnight.It is cheap for Mr.Akomea to preach against imports whiles it was the main revenue collection base for his party.This man reckons,he is the best brain in the country.

When did you realize that fruits fall on the ground and rot in Ghana. Your party was in power for 8 years, what did you do about it?

Also, when you quote figures you must substantiate them and provide details. For example what percentage of the total imports in 2011 are from private businesses? You make it sound like all the importations into the country are done only by the government. Next time do a better job on your data collection and analyses.
