  A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want No vaccine because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?" The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."
  
  
  The money for the vaccines can be used to create Hospitals and Colleges for the Nation.

  Bill Gates hates drugs with a a passion so would never have met Nana Addo if he were the president. To avoid meeting this notorious marijuana smoker he would never have come to Ghana at all!

  ....."Citing Ghana as an example, Mr. Gates said polio was eliminated a decade ago and that an outbreak in 2008 was quickly controlled. “No child there has died from measles since 2002."
  
  THESE WERE KUFFUOR YEARS OF WHICH AKUFFO-ADDO WAS PART OF.
  
  THE NHIS, FOOD FEEDING PROGRAMME, MATERNAL CARE, ETC. ETC., WERE ALL KUFFUOR AND AKUFFO ADDO'S TIME.
  
  Get real.

  Kufuor spent all 8 years travelling and stealing government lands and buildings. Any success during the 8 water years was the result of JJ's actions that started bearing fruits and not Kufuor's efforts. Kufuor only produced negative results for Ghana.

  This sort thinking is holding Africa back
  A whole Africa ..china has to build AU office for our useless leaders to attend useless meeting ..
  What kind of thinking is this..unless we train our minds to do our own things ...anybody will come in and colonies us...begging ,grants ,aid is our leaders speciality ..we might as well as let the u.k ,USA come a rule us..
  Our independence should have been defered bcos we are not matured enough.

  The biggest lesson we should learn is to get off the dependency syndrome.No man,however philanthropic,can lift you out of your quagmire he can only help alleviate your pains.I've not seen a man,a group or country lifted out of poverty purely by philanthropy means.Bill Gates can help but we shud only treat his help as a side dish.The main course has to be Ghanaian.It has to be your own pain,sweat & diligence that'll take you places.No one will ever,ever do it for us.The sooner Ghanains realize this the better we'll all be.

  If he had visited the dreaded SODOM and GOMMOHRAH and the Korle Gutter, I am not sure what he would have said.
  
  Our politicians should stop the chop chop and match Bill Gates, dollar for dollar, in investing in sanitation.

  bill gates wants to win back his number one position, which he lost, since he engaged the war against china over the control of WHO. an effort to take over the world pharma. telecom is not elastic as pharma. a household can use one or max two tvs and two fix phones. but when it comes to medication, one health one medicine. yes, it is true individuals are getting richer than most nations, and this is according to the bible. the most important are the perceptions and concepts. dont be duped for absolute power corrupts sbsolutely. easier to sensibilize an individual, when God intervenes with His Spirit to work on the heart than the tower of babel
