When did Senaya become Akan? Why tribalize this important issue. Just start your own and stop blowing the horns of other achievers

Paradigm shift on domestication?
Let's embrace our rice and textiles as well,and the economic kingdom shall follow within 5 years. And the money saved push in to quality education to raise engineers that could build any machine/automobile within 10 years.
It is achievable.

Nice one.i personally think that,patronising home made goods will lead us somewhere.
This was the policy of Col.I.K.Acheampong but for the nature of bad politics in Ghana,the policy was revoked.I think when we revisit this idea this time it will be well.

It's a good start. He should start, investing in producing the leather,.sole laces etc.so he doesn't have to rely on expensive imports. If he is importing everything from outside,.then the shoes must be expensive.

Tonyi, congratulations.as a people if we can all drink a cup of cocoa plus honey a day, eat rice produced in Ghana and use local materials to replace cement, this nation would be better in the future.
I hope Mr. President would direct all government agencies to procure only rice grown in Ghana as a means to making his domestication policy a success. Japan does not allow American rice into Japan!
The president must lead the nation by eating only Ghanain foodstuff like his counterpart president Blaise Campoare of Burkina Faso does. Inward looking policy would help us to grow.

Let's ENCOURAGE our own a bit. TOO MANY of us are too pessimistic and DON'T TRUST OURSELVES !! WHY, Blackman ?? I think UN-NECESSARY JEALOUSY is also the BANE of the BLACKRACE!!

Just last week or so,a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL FROM NDC said categorically that:
THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CREATE BUSINESS.

I blame the NDC GOVERNMENT,that doesn't pull her weight,to support initiatives some passionate entrepreneurs,might be trying to come up with.
A company like this in CANADA,will instantly leap,because the government ,AND EVEN THE BANKS,would be there to give every support needed,to stay on course.
I have not seen the kind of shoes this guy is producing,because I could help in giving many suggestions to him,that can help a lot.
HE HAS TO THINK ABOUT TANNING OF THE LEADER IN GHANA,IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY.
The best tanner,IN THE WORLD,comes from AMERICA.The company is in CHICAGO.
All the big CLASSY SHOE MAKERS in GREAT BRITAIN,GERMANY & HUNGARY etc,buy their CORDOVAN LEATHER,CALFSKIN from this company.
If I were Tonyi,I will tap the technology from them,by sending someone to learn from them.
On this idea,for an example,the government should step in,to help.
But our MAHAMA likes,the finished product to wear,but not how to improve it.
THAT'S HOW AFRICA IS.
We are always into the finished product enjoyment,but not finding the way to produce it.
The guy is trying,and he has to be pushed forward,so he could flourish and exfoliate in what he has begun.
I am not in anyway,against the promotion aspect of the president,but more has to be done,to help,prop this guy up,if he wants to enter into the international shoe market,and compete well and effectively.
Because,there are a lot of BIG GUYS,OUT THERE too.
TONYI,MORE FREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS.
Try CASSIC SHOES TOO.
