FASTFOOD REVENUE
Story: How to Kill a Wolf/GHANA - (Eskimo Style)..HIPC STUNTING OUR GROWTH
Up in the arctic circle there is tribe of Eskimo's(IMF, WESTERN DONORS, BANKS) who have learned to set
a very simple yet effective trap for wolves (GHANA/MAHAMA). First they sharpen a knife
razor sharp. Then they dip it in the blood of a seal they have killed.
(you see seals are fairly easy to trap but wolves are very dangerous).
After dipping the knife in blood they set it outside in the cold so the
blood freezes on the knife. After if freezes (a matter of minutes) they
dip it again into the seal blood and again take it out an let the blood
freeze. Layer after layer they make a blood popsicle. When they are done,
the knife's blade is hidden inside just like a popsicle stick. Now they
take the knife out into the wilderness where they think a wolf might be.
There the bury the handle of the knife in the snow leaving the blood
popsicle standing up and they leave.

Now after a while a wolf(GHANA/MAHAMA) will come along guided by his sense of smell(GREED) and
find the "bloodsicle". He will being licking it, enjoying every taste.
Over and over he licks the knife and soon his tongue is so cold he cannot
feel it any longer. It's numb. But his taste for blood is growing and he
is not getting as much as he wants - you see, popsicles are slow eating.
Finally his licking exposes the razor sharp edge of the knife. It cuts
into his tongue again and again but he does not even notice for his tongue
can no longer feel anything. The wolfs own blood now flows from his cut
tongue. The wolf is thrilled, blood is now more plentiful and he continues
to lick more and more.

Soon he notices something is wrong, he is getting weaker not stronger.
Since he knows blood as food he increases his efforts to feed on the ever
increasing flow of blood. His last thoughts are of how good the now warm
blood tastes. Within minutes he licks his last and collapse next to the
now fully exposed knife. Here the Eskimo(IMF, WESTERN DONORS, BANKS) knows he will find the wolfs(GHANA/MAHAMA)
DEAD body the next morning.

RE Ignorance-The President must be careful in dealing with the Chinese.They are clever in a way that,one must be cereful when dealing with them in economic matters.Latest development in the agreement,asking Ghana for extra 2000 barrels of our crude oil indicates that the chinese are geared towards syphoning our crude oil to get enough to sell to the USA since the short supply of crude oil from the golf countries directly to the USA.We must be care ful in dealing with either West or the East,at this present economic downturn.

Dan, I like people who will tell it like it is. One sad thing is that, Mahama is still asleep and probably dreaming in his sleep about stupid and unnecessary things that are of no importance and material to Ghanaians. I agree with you totally that he should wake up and I wish he does because he has been asleep for a long time, many years for that matter..

WE LOSE BY USING THE OIL AS COLLATERAL FOR LOANS. FIRST YEAR ECONOMIC STUDENT WILL TELL U THIS. LET'S GO SLOWLY, STOP PAY UNNECESSARY JUDGEMENT DEBTS, CAMPAIGN FINANCING, LAPTOPS FOR VOTES, ALL THESE CAN FINANCE OUR PROJECTS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU ALWAYS GO AROUND LOOKING FOR EASY CASH LOANS, SOME TO FUND KVIP TOILET PROJECTS, OTHERS TO FUND AKONFEM PROJECTS, THEN THE REST GOES INTO VARIOUS CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE SCHEMES DRAWN UP BY GHANA'S LEADERS.

EASY COME, EASY GO. THAT'S WHAT GHANA'S LAZY CORRUPT LEADERS SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER.

GHANA IS RICHLY ENDOWED WITH NUMEROUS NATURAL RESOURCES. WHERE HAVE ALL THOSE NATURAL RESOURCES GONE TO?

VERY SOON, GHANA LEADERS WILL START BEGGING EVEN RWANDA FOR LOANS OSTENSIBLY FOR "INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS" IN GHANA.

WHAT A SHAME!!!

if the crude oil prices would have gone up would they have come for another negotiation concerning the same prices.

We as Ghanaians are now at our 'T' junction or crossroads. This is the time we all have to come together to take charge of our destiny, be the light of Africa that we proclaim to be and tell the whole world enough is enough. Let's all sacrifice. To the politicians first, the stealing must stop today. All the importation of unnecessary items must cease and let's learn to add value to our raw materials. We can only rise and move forward together with transparency and dignity. No more politicking. The government should borrow from sons and daughters in the diaspora at competitive rates and entice them to invest their foreign savings back into the country. But our politicians should come out clean and earn our trust. The Ghanaian and African politicians have done more harm to this continent and its people than any cancerous disease.

I DON'T KNOW THIS TEAM Z PRESIDENT AND HIS INCOMPETENT SKUNKS ARE WAITING FOR BEFORE CANCELLING THIS DEAL. THESE CHINESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING TO RELEASE THE FUNDS YET WE ARE GIVING THEM 13000 BARRELS OF OIL PER DAY IN ADDITION TO PAYING ALL THE FEES ON A LOAN THAT HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED. WHAT KIND OF FOOLISHNESS IS THIS? WHERE ARE THE SO CALLED INTELLECTUALS WHO KEEP MAKING STUPID NOISES ON THE RADIO AND TV? ARE OUR LEADERS NOWADAYS THAT STUPID AND DUMB THAT THEY CAN'T STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE FUTURE GENERATION

WHAT COUNTRY OTHER THAN GHANA IN THE WORLD CAN THIS HAPPEN?

MY LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF CONTRACTING A LOAN IS; YOU PAY COMMITMENT FEES AND CHARGES ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY RECEIVED

WHY ARE WE PAYING 100% COLLATERAL ON ONLY ABOUT 5% OF LOAN RECEIVED?

It does not make any sense to build about 4 or more landing sites for fishermen in only Central region whilst the fishing industry is collapsing.It's more logical to build just one modern sea port with a standard fishing harbour like Tema Port.This will help Ghana to take advantage lead in maritime business in the West Africa and create jobs for the people.I think,this is commercially viable than the white elephant landing ports.Thank you.

Once again, we have no idea what is actually going to be done with the loan money. Loans for the sake of loans do not make any sense unless there is a plan.
