ARE OUR ELDERS USELESS?
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana. MAHAMA, WHERE IS THE MONEY? OUR KIDS HAVE NO EDUCATION. HOW SISTERS, MOTHERS N CHILDREN HAVE NO HOSPITALS.
LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE? NO FACTORIES, NO JOBS, NO WATER....
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
MAYELE AA, VS MAHAMA AUTHENCITITY......?
WHAT DO THESE 2 HAVE IN COMMON?
WE ARE QUICK TO MENTION SCENT,THE SCENT ON HIM OR HER. HOW SMELLY,DIRTY AND DUSTY IS GH?I MEAN GO TO ACCRA, KUMASI, TAADI N YOU WILL FIND THE ALIEN SMELLS N SCENTS!
OPEN GUTTERS EVERYWHERE...TRASH BEING THROWN OR BURNT ANYWHERE. PPL ARE SHITING N THROWING FEACES ANYWHERE, ANYHOW...OH LORD, ANIMAL KINGDOM PAA NIE?!
FOLKS, WAT ARE THE COMMONALITIES BETWEEN BOTH PERSONS HERE? AA AND MAHAMA ARE BLESSED WITH A TAXABLE POPULATION, STAR PLAYERS, AMAZING POOL OF TALENT N RESORCES TO EASILY BECOME A FIRST RATED
NATION/SOCCER TEAM. HOWEVER, THE TRUE POTENTIAL CAN NEVER BE REALISED (NO AFCON TROPHY FOR AA, NO REAL ECONOMIC IMPRVMENT/INFRASTRUCTURAL DEV IN GH). SIMPLY BCOS AA AND MAHAMA ARE CLUELESS N CONFUSED.
THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WAT TO DO....AND DONT HAVE THE COURAGE TO KNOW HOW.....ISNT THAT PETTY N PATHETIC?
LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF OUR REGIONAL STADIUMS...DEPLORABLE. KUMASI STADIUM HAS TOO MANY POTHOLES, THE PLAYERS WERE TRIPPING OVER THEM. ASK ATSU.
UPGRADE THE PITCH INTO A MODERN PITCH N STOP THE MEDIOCRITY IN GH. BUILD MORE MODERN PITCHES SO GH CAN HOST MORE AFRICAN N WORLD TOURNAMENTS. WE CANT HOST WMNS WCUP OR EVEN U17 ON GH.
MEANWHILE NAIJA, EGPYPT, S AFRICA HAVE ALL HOSTED MAJOR CONTINENTAL N WORLD TOURNAMNTS...
THE PITCH IN ACCRA AND KUMASI CAN NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A WORLD CLASS SOCCER PITCH. THIS IS A FACT...YOU CAN PLAY ON THEM, BUT YOU RISK AN INJURY BCOS OF THE UNDULATING SURFACE, UNEVENESS
OF THE FIELD, HOLES IN THE FIELD.
SO CANT THE MIN OF SPORTS GO TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE? PLS, JUST TAKE A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WAT A REAL STADIUM LOOKS LIKE. GO TO BRASIL N SEEK HELP.
SPEAK TO THE MINISTERS OVER THERE N TELL THEM. WE NEED THESE IN GH TOO.
DONT BE ASHAMED TO ASK FOR GUIDANCE/HELP. WE TALK LIKE HYENAS. EVEN GABON/EQ GUINEA, ANGOLA, NAIJA ALL HAVE BETTER STADIUM FACILITIES
THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN GH. IF I AM KP BOATENG/ESSIEN/DEDE, NO WAY IN HELL AM I RISKING MY CAREER ON THIS PITCH. HW3, I WONT PLAY ON THAT PITCH N TRY TO INJURE MYSELF?
TWEAA, STADIUM WITH POTHOLES WEI? IN THIS MODERN DAY N AGE?
WHAT IS THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF EQ GUINEA/GABON? LOOK AT THE CONDITION N QUALITY OF OUR AIRPORTS? KUMASI N ACCRA? AGAIN, THE MIN OF TRANSPORT THE THE AVIATION DEPTS NEED TO GO
TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WELL, WELL. DONT SIT IN UR AC OFFICES IN ACCRA EATING KELEWELE N NUTS WITH FANTA N SAYING...AHHHHHHHH....LOL
LOOK AT THE STATE OF OUR ROADS N REGIONAL HIGHWAYS? ITS VERY SAD. I ALWAYS GET MADD N UPSET WHEN IM IN GH......UUURRRGGGHHHH!!!
GH IS PROLLY THE NATION WITH THE MOST HIGH QUALITY FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS IN AFRICA. YET, WE CANT WIN A MILK TIN? WHY?
IF APPIAH WHO NEVER PLAYED OUTSIDE GH, HAS HAD OVER 6YRS AS GBSTARS COACHING APPRENTICE, HAS HAD LESS COACHING EDUCATION, CAN PRODUCE MEDIOCRE RESULTS LIKE THIS.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF DESAILLY IS PLUGGED IN THE EQUATION AS COACH OR ADVISOR? OH GH, WE HAVE GOLD, OIL, DIAMONDS, PREGNABLE WOMEN AND POTENT MEN, COCOA, LEARNED MINDS LIKE ANNAN, KUFFOUR AND NDUOM..
EVEN SHEA BUTTER SEF WE GET, BUT LOOK AT OUR DEPLORABLE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, STADIUMS, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS...OUR NATION?! WATCH AND LEARN!
THE MIN OF SPORT IN GH MUST MOBILIZE FUNDS FROM THE CENTRAL GOVT, PRIVATE SECTOR N REGIONAL GOVTS. GO TO S AFRICA/BRASIL N SEEK HELP. THESE AFUOM LANDSCAPERS AT GGT ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL.
THEY DNT EVEN KNOW WAT THEY ARE DOING.....
WATCH THE BRASILIAN LEAGUE. U WILL SEE PLAYERS LIKE DIDA, RIVALDO, RONALDINHO, FREDDY ADU, BAPTISTA, COACH DUNGA, DIEGO FORLAN, PATO OF AC MILAN, JUAN, AND MANY MORE ALL PLAYING OVER THERE.
WHERE ARE FMR GBSTAR PLAYERS LIKE OLELE, APPIAH, PAINSTIL, JOHN MENSAH ETC STILL DOING IN EUROPE? FOOLISHNESS!
GO BACK N HELP THE LEAGUE ELEVATE FROM ITS PRIMITIVE STATE.
UNDERDEVELOPED GH
It’s becoming clear what separates winners from losers in emerging-market stocks.
On the winning side are exporting countries; on the losing, net importers.
China, Russia and other big exporters have likewise seen their markets rise.
WE NEED FACTORIES!!!
even by africa standards ghana is waaay underdeveloped but ghanaians do not seem to notice that….
airports , roads, stadia in ghana are still sub standard….THIS IS WHY I HATE coming to ghana…Africans who LOVE AND respect ghana, are surprised AT what they see when they visit..
There is a old saying: "when something is working, leave it alone; work on something else where you can create something new for doing good". This is universal truth. Somethings are meant to be that way.
MAJORITY OF THE PPL CANT USE A COMPUTER. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IN GH IS VERY POOR. THE GOVT AND PRIVATE SECTOR MUST INVEST IN NATIONWIDE BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY, FAST! THIS IS THE FUTURE.
PARENTS, STOP ENROLLING YOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. LET THEM ROAM THE STREETS. IF THE GOVT ASKS WHY.
TELL THE GOVT YOU DEMAND FREE BASIC SCHOOL FOR ALL GH KIDDIES UP TO SHS..4YRS!
GH GOVT MUST OFFER FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO GHWEB. WE NEED RAPID INTERNET BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE IN GH. THIS MUST BE A PRIORITY FOR THE GOVT!
GO N GET A LOAN N USE IT FOR INITIAVES LIKE THIS.
OTHER NATIONS WITH LESS ENDOWED NATURAL RESOURCES, POPULATIONS ARE DOING IT....
PLS TELL AA N KONADU TO WATCH BRAZILIAN LEAGUE. SHOW BRAZILIAN LEAGUE GAMES ON GH TV.@ ...WWW.P2P4U.NET
GFA WHEN WILL YOU STREAM PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES LIVE ONLINE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO WATCH? OH GH, WHEN OOOO! ARE U ASHAMED OF YOUR UNDULATING, UNEVEN SOCCER PITCHES?
AGENTS/CLUBS OUTSIDE GH COULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE OUR LEAGUE, PLAYERS. THIS WILL HELP GH. GFA, GET CURRENT
NYANTAKYI IS RUNNING THE GH LEAGUE LIKE FOSU LINE, DONGOMI. THE EARLIER HE LEAVES, THE BETTER GH SOCCER WILL BE
Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanritan reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imagining if Ghana is not the same as Haiti!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turn into a tribal politics!!#

Who told you Ghana's economy is being well managed? Do you consider unproductive and uncontrolled government and public spending good governance?
Do you consider a country with about 60% youth unemployment rate well managed? Do you consider a country with poor transport infrastructure strong and well-managed?
When was the last time you visited Ghana? Do you consider a country with inconsistent electricity, water and other utility supply well-managed, strong and sturdy?
Your article is rubbish and doesn't reflect what is happening on the ground.

We all know that Ghana has lots of challenges, but that doesn't take away the fact that relatively and more so compared to other African countries we're doing fairly well. Foreigners are coming in day in and day out (some of them virtually illiterates and with little or no money) and making it big in Ghana whiles we sit on the sidelines and complain.

You said foreigners come day in and day out,and make it big,even though they come with nothing.
THAT ATTESTS TO THE FACT THAT GHANAIANS ARE VERY STUPID,HAVING LOOSED SYSTEM,EVEN FOOLS MAKE GAINS/TAKE ADVANTAGE,OUT OF IT.

Ghana is not attractive to foreign business because we are not ready to receive them.
Until we stop our bribery and corruption,start to create our own jobs by processing our natural resources,and not waiting for the foreigner to do them,the youth would stay unemployed till Jesus comes.
FOOLS ARE EATING OUR MONEY.
We have to use our brains that is still sleeping by renewing our minds to do the right thing,but not talking for talking sake,without thinking.
It takes wisdom,integrity,diligence etc,to ATTRACT FAVOUR OF THE LORD.
But it looks like,GHANA is devoid of all these,hence,poverty has been the banner on our necks.
THAT IS SO SAD.
I would like to invest in GHANA SOON,but have to be very selective on what I am planning to do.Because nothing could now be taken for granted in GHANA.
WE WILL ALWAYS ACT LIKE WE THINK.

this sounds like an advert to get people to comt to invest in Ghana. Hmmm.. why isnt the country helping it's own people create/maintain lucrative/flourishing business?

Dwight Eiseinhower Came up with national highway policy for the US to enhance easy movement of goods and services.Can anyone tell me a perfect economic driving force policy we ;ve had in our nation in the past 4 decades that has enhanced our system of distribution as far as goods and services are concerned? We need to do a lot of homework if we wanna attract potential and serious INVESTORS period.
