Prof, thanks for proofing yet again the very importance that lie in the 'value' of good education. In fact mother Ghana needs more selfless, honourable and 'Fine Gentlemen' like you to steer the affairs in Ghana.

Professor Danso-Boafo, your great work would not be complete if you should end so soon. I am very sure there are many great men around. That, I should think your continuous delivery of similar great works in the near future would invite them on board.

Prof, please keep your great work going and do entice similar great men from cross party and different tribal
support,

Untill some sense is put into our high comission stupid things of this nature will continue coming out of their mouths.
Why is he talking about africa when he doesnt know africa. Ghanaians did make him our ambassador not the ambassador for africa.
Why can he only talk about ghana, instead
talking about africa. Thus he think all african share his idea? No, they dont.
Ghanaians dont want to be like the western countries and the western countries will never be like africa. Why should we share or be equal. Africans dont let the democracy and
the corruption that the western countries has forced on them.
Why should anybody wants to be equal to a thief. Africa didnt have corruption until the west gave us.
Ghanaians dont want to be like the shameless western countries when corruption and stealing is allowed.
Talk for ghana not africa next time he is given a chance like the one he just wasted.

To me, it seems the Prof is inviting more trouble for us by trying to put our arable lands to the disposal of potential foreign investors. First and foremost, it is not that the developed world is not aware of the existence of the huge tracts of arable lands in not Africa; they are not grabbing it yet, just because they don't need it yet. At the moment they are concentrating on what is hidden beneath- by that I mean the minerals- which they lack and desperately need for their industries.And rest assured, they know each square meter of our land and it's geology than ourselves. Someone please tell me, do we even have our own satellite survey of our country which was not carried out by some foreign country???? The much anticipated foreign investors are definitely not going to solve Africa's food problems with that attitude of profit-maximization - they won't even cultivate what the indigenes consume but will tend to mass cultivation of profitable products badly needed for the bio-gas industry such as high-yeld maize (Monsanto)and soya which would then be shipped to Europe for good money.

IT WILL NOT EVER HAPPEN. No country ever did it in history. If colonization and slavery did not thought us any thing, 'am not sure what else will.

Chatham house? What a joke! The British will laugh him out of the place. Abroampah, do you know that as a commonwealth nation, we are automatically subjects of the queen? It was at the same Chatham house where ex prez Kufour made a shocking statement when he was invited there that "your royal Highness, your subject is before you" which angered some members of his entourage who were within earshot! Rawlings did the same when the queen came here. How can a beggar walk confidently with his sponsor? You are not developing at the rate you are expected to and yet you want to be a partner to someone who knows your country more than you do.

How many of their professors are appointed ambassadors? They are either at the universities or in their labs. Ours have all become politicians, who are not helping to develop, but to destroy what the illiterates came to put in place.

Africa's educated class are her worst enemies. Take the GMO issue. Our doctors and profs are helping to promote it, whilst the illiterates are fighting it. So if the masses are to listen to these poisonous people, where are we heading?

Why is the ambassador called prof? Is prof a real title?
Are we so into titles nothing matter even as we see things falling apart all around us in Ghana? It is one thing to show readers that Ghana is above all others in development and in best practices of governance but it is very disheartening altogether to see a nation so mismanaged and a parliament so incompetent and yet so wild and accepting of people with meaningless titles being the toast of journalists in Ghana for every insignificant activity they do partake.
Don Blunt 11 years ago

We have nothing to offer, that is the reason we lay emphasis on titles instead of realities. We will continue begging for loans and grants to feed ourselves, but we want it called "Partnership".

What items have Ghana's trade with GREAT BRITAIN from 2008 - 2012 increased to tune of BRITISH POUND 278,000,AND ABOUT 60%?
If Ghana exports RAW GOLD,DIAMOND,CRUDE OIL,BAUXITE,LUMBER,COCOA,MANGANESE ETC,
what gains have we made,if those products fed their factories,to provide jobs for their citizenry,whilst our youth stay without any jobs doing?
You those old and experienced politicians are the source of hardship our children are facing in AFRICA as a whole,because,you guys have not done much to address any problem our children encounter today,let alone, those yet to be born.
POLITICIANS IN GHANA,HAVE NEVER PLANNED WITH THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN IN MIND.
SHAME ON YOU FOLKS.

You have said it all prof. There must be a paradigm shift in our dealings with the developed world. 60 % of arable land in the world belongs to africa yet our people die from hunger and abject poverty each day. Why? When shall the African child cease to be hewers of wood and drawers of water?
Instead of thinking deep and offering alternatives, some are unjustifiably criticisng the learned man. Keep up the good work!

HE Prof Danso-Boafo, please come again!

Why should we rely on foreign investors to feed ourselves?

Do we not have farmers, agricultural institutions, research organisations, arable lend, water aplenty and the vast Atlantic ocean to the south?

What prevents us from addressing the problems we face as regards food self-sufficiency?

We must wean ourselves away from this dependency on foreigners to solve our problems for us. We have all the resources we need, and much more. We have the skills and intellectual capacity. Let us change our mindset and utilise our natural resources for the benefit of us all.

No foreigner will develop our country for us. The foreigner only comes to exploit our resources to our detriment.

Prof, please defend our country's best interests, and change your tune!
