Can Africans ever put away their differences for a common goal?Africa needs to learn to come together regardless of our differences. The continent is ravaged by wars because the winner takes all approach is very common. Learn to share ideas, technical expertise, money within the continent. It is a joke for Africa to present two candidates hoping to get the top post. 1 candidate can withdraw or the continent should have rules down to guard against future selection of representatives from the continent.

Together we stand, divided we fall. The lack of consesus currently unfolding in Ghana can do Ghana in as happened to Alan. And this should served as a cue to those doing the political infighting in this country.

Hmm.I do less agree with you,bro.This
is the very man who contributed to the
to the downfall of his own political party during the 2008 elections. This simply because he trailed behind an opponent who is much more a powerful candidate to recorn of as far as winning the polls is concerned. He
was so much embittered that he chose to sit on the fence doing nothing to help winning the aformention elections. Now,he wants somebody to pull for him to become head of the
World Trade Organisation,quite a
prestigious position. No,it does not happen that way. My question for this guy is: 'Did you pull for Nana Addo to become the president?' If not,then he should forget,for you reap what you sow. After all charity begins at home,and you do unto others what you want others to do to you.
However,I wish you 'GOOD LUCK'next time.

Africans are hugely disrespected and disregarded be the racists international bodies and it's about time we redefine our membership to such oppressive international institutions and organizations, especially the UN where the entire Africa continent with her 54 country membership does not have to enjoy any veto powers.

Kofi Annan was supported to become a Secretary General by and large because of his white manipulative wife with the Americans and their Western imperialists counterparts saw him as a better remote controllable stooge than all.

If you talk about respect for the black race in the international forum, it is nonexistent. No respect! The dark skin has been relegated from any serious role or discussion. And for obvious reasons - they can easily be manipulated. A case in point, - look at how the Chinese have taken over the local industry in Ghana. The chicken flu which has currently plagued China-don't be surprised to be eating some of those sick birds in restuarants and on dinner tables in most homes on the continent. Why? Because the people responsible to stomp out such wickedness would rather accept a percent of bribe from the importers at the expense of their countrymen. And also, check out the number of Syrians arriving in Ghana from their war torn country. Why not any of their North African kinsmen? This is becuase their kinsmen wouldn't tolerate any nefariuos activity - Ghana would. The blackman has accepted his place as being inferior so they would be kicking us around for a very long time. Sorry Alan, you just happenned to be a victim.

When the kenyans supported Kofi Annan's U.N candidature did Ghanaians think they may have to return the favour or do we just always want only our own to shine? Why isn't this african disunity a scar on Ghanaians for displaying their selfishness?If other africans support our man its only fair to swallow our pride and return the favour otherwise we appear selfish.

The whole thing was bound to fail from the beginning! It is possible that Alan Kyeremateng himself didn't know anything about this promotion by the dubious NDC party. Alan should have been wise to reject his nomination by the NDC; he wasn't smart.

John Mahama and his leaders thought they could cause disaffection in NPP camp towards Nana Akufo-Addo. After trying all sorts of tricks, esp. with horrible pieces of news being spread by NDC to denigrate Nana Akufo-Addo, they thought making such moves would cause confusion and divide the NPP. The failed! Now the Supreme Court case is thing standing tall, facing the NDC in the face.

They thought they were smart and took Ghanaians for fools. Everything single plot that the NDC employed has failed! The truth is that, things continue to fall apart for Ghanaians. Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Civil Servants---everyone is saying enough is enough, with stiked and threat of strike actions and demonstrations. We're waiting to hear the names of Nana Akufo-Addo & Co., being linked to all the chaos and tension in Ghana.
The other time, someone tried to link the floods in some parts of the country to Nana Akufo-Addo. Wow! The man is a super star; they say these days that he's carpenter, while others say he's "Tro-tro" driver. Nana is a superstar!

Alan Kyeremateng probably wanted to get away from Ghana politics for a while after he himself had taken some flack from some of his party members. It would have been nice to have him as the WTO boss; that could be a big plus for Ghana, however, the motive was wrong! Just as various pastors rejected Mahama's Pilgrimage or tour to Israel, so should Alan have done; by saying: "No thanks" but he didn't see the Red-eyed "Sasabonsam" in time. The whole thing was not in good faith; the motive was wrong, It's like being friends with the crocodile. Wow!

THIS IS WHY DR. NKRUMAH'S PROFLIGATE SPENDING ON HIS ATTEMPTED PLANS TO UNITE AFRICA WAS A FOOLISH POLICY MAINLY INTENDED TO PLEASE HIS WIFE, EGYPT'S FATHIA, AT THE EXPENSE OF GHANA.

SAMIA WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AN MP IN EGYPT MAINLY BECAUSE HER DAD WAS A BLACK AFRICAN.

EGYPTIANS REGARD THEMSELVES AS SUPERIOR TO BLACK AFRICANS.

NORTH AFRICA, INCLUDING EGYPT, IS MORE ALIGNED TO THE GULF ARAB COUNTRIES THAN THE REST OF BLACK AFRICA.

INDEED, MANY NORTH AFRICANS REGARD THEMSELVES AS AFRICANS ONLY WHEN IT SUITS THEIR WHIMS AND CAPRICES.

GADAFFI'S PLANS TO CHAMPION THE CAUSE OF AFRICA WAS MAINLY MOTIVATED BY THE FACT THAT HE GADAFFI WAS NEVER RECOGNISED AND ACCEPTED BY THE ARABS.

AS FOR THE EAST AND SOUTH AFRICANS, THE LEAST SAID ABOUT THEM, THE BETTER, PARTICULARLY SOUTH AFRICANS.

THAT'S WHY AFRICA HAS MANY REGIONAL TRADING AND ECONOMIC PROTECTIONIST BLOCS.

AFRICA WILL NEVER BE A UNITED CONTINENT.

WHOEVER THINK AFRICA WILL ONE DAY BE UNITED IS A FOOL WITHOUT VISION.

EVEN FOOLS HAVE A VISION.

NO WONDER THE EAST AFRICANS PRESENTED THEIR CANDIDATE FOR THE WTO TOP POST ALONGSIDE ALAN KYEREMATENG WHOSE ASANTE-ENGLISH ACCENT AND TRACK RECORD OF ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE ACHIEVEMENTS AS A POLICIAN WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, GIVEN THE ENDEMIC CORRUPTION AMONG GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERSHIP.

In addition to Africa's fielding of 2 candidates one other cause of Allan's loss was NPP's negative politics.
Even though the Supreme Court is yet to pass a verdict, the NPP daily refers to President Mahama as an election thief. And this is the man who has put forward Allan Kyeremanteng for election. Also, the NPP's negative politics has actually inspired waves of strikes to create the false impression to the international community that Ghana is boiling. This has made it difficult for President Mahama's candidate to carry sufficient appeal for election. This is a lesson for NPP.
