I am sad , this is bad it should not have happened in the first place. I am sorry for you my brother. But if we are to tell you the number of individuals and groups or companies that PNDC / NDC has collapsed, there will not enough books to contain them. From Kowus Motors, Mogya bi y3adom , Tata Brewery, Mensah cigarette factory, Dr Safo Adu, Poku Transport, Y . F. Transport. PeprahTimbers, F.D.N.T. and many that i can't recollect . Do you remember there was a company that imports turkey tails and sausages at Tesano junction the first of it kind in the country. It was collapsed by PNDC . I am a Muslim and my religion ask me not to be happy when such calamity befall on my brother, I am not happy at all, I just want to you know that similar has happened others before you.Do you remember Mr Henry Djaba the father of Atiko Djabah the gentleman who brought Neoplan company to Ghana. I can go on and on, and on, till they kingdom come.Some have left this country never to come back again. If today you are in Ghana thank Allah. Devine Selection. I love you the indefatigable Agongo

I have just read in one of the comments someone trying to subtly compare the collapse of some of the businesses in Ghana during Rawlings period and perhaps trying to argue that what happened to you didn't start today or from what happened to you. Such foolishness I hate to even see being referred to or mentioned.

What has what happened in Rawlings's revolution period got to do with what happened in a democratic era? Who companies he mentioned if collapsed during the 80s or wasn't a good thing but Tsikata and co had their reasons for not supporting these businesses because they considered the owners as using their businesses to have other purposes and functionalities which I cannot talk about here.

The collapse of Heritage bank by Ken Ofori Atta and his governor was purely an act of envy and stupidity. Besides this was in 2017 and in a so called democratic dispensation. Seidu Agongo posed no security threat to any individual or the state. It was a deliberately calculated act to destroy someone's business just like Nduom and co not to talk about hundreds of savings and loans and micro finance companies. They gave an impression of having some sort of great and powerful idea only to turn out to be the biggest foolishness as usual.

Same way they did you Nkrumah until they finally got support from the West and Nkrumah was overthrown amd since then the entire continent has never been able to find its rhythm again. I'm not the biggest fun of democracy so these things of one party winning political power and destroying the opposition do not surprise me. Its sad Alhaji...as you said, pick up the pieces and begin to build yiur business empire all over again amd let's hope ans pray the vampires dont return to destroy it ever again...To God be the glory.
