  I have been following the various writings by our folks in the diaspora and there is one thing which comes out very clearly. They are crass ignorant of real happenings in Ghana. All they do is to pick on some of these ill motivated political stories and latch on them to attack. If a contributor can just say that " Dr Bawumia pairing Nana Addo in governance will transform the north into an enviable economic and business hob through an agricultural revolution" that should easily tell you where he is coming from. Thae person is only writing politics and it would be best to ignore him.

  It is so surprising that people especially of northern extraction have not yet realised that so-called socialist governments continue to bask themselves in the habit of taking them to ransom by playing to their extreme poverty situation whereas little or nothing at-all is done in the course of the many continuous years that they have been in office to reduce poverty in the north let alone alleviate it. So why have you not done anything yet?

  Listen to this illiterate moron who hides out at Ashburn Virginia pretending to be in Ghana. This fool is using somebody's papers to work at old folks home in Virginia and that is why he is pretending to be in Ghana.

  Center to all this corruption now is the ewe tribalism that has a stranglehold on the ndc and now most of the state agencies that are to combat this menace. yes corruption exists in all countries but ours has become more notorious than the nigerian , during kuffuor's time it was know he and his cronies would try and secure a 0.5 to 5% commission now ndc is known for not less than 20% going up all the way to 200 300 or even 500% . loans achieve even parliamentary approval are withdrawn as business wise it just doesnt make sense. the civil service especial ministry of finance has turned into a money grabbing arm twisting mafia that up to 3 years ago would frustrate any endeavor undertook en if one would not pay , in short the process would move at a snails pace . the last couple of years if you dont pay your files and docs would go missing or you would eventually be accused of defrauding the state or some other fabricated heinous crime and end up with the bni , police or some other agency of repression fighting for your life. in short would take by force from you what you did not willingly give.Some now advocate for JJ methods of dealing with this system of doom, but rawlings style of governance can never come back as the revolution propaganda and media hype was nothing but a sophisticated cover and camouflage of the ewe persecution of the Akans mainly the ashantis as by the end of the Acheampong era most govt institutions and factories were being managed by Ashantis, today most are in the hands of northerners , Gas and ewes so to clean up the babies and fruits of the revolution with another is impossible , the only solution is now a civil war . now tribalistically speaking without being accused again of chauvinism or Akan nationalism we have a situation whereby this alliance of the ewes , part of the gas and northerners , that is less than 15 % of the population by varios means of election engineering , rigging divide and rule now are looting as quickly as they can all the wealth of the nation as they know this can not last forever . unfortunately when they are done we shall be left with a war and no future for our children due to our own laziness to see the truth for what it really is . here is a govt so busy with their cover up for the SADA that not a single minister or leader to come out this Easter with a message of hope as their hearts are filled with so much evil and hate . yes this govt will leave one day for sure despised and hated by the people , never to come back again.

  With all due respect, when it comes to projects we must be careful to draw a line between an idea and a project. One may have a good idea but the project that seeks to give life to the good idea might be seriously flawed. This is exactly the case of the guinea fowl project. It is interesting to say that history is a university where students do not learn from history. This is particularly the case of SADA. By deciding to invest in guinea fowl rearing project SADA actually is directly involved in an economic venture. During the Acheampong era all the regions in Ghana had regional development corporations. A hall mark of these regional development corporations(REDECS) is that they invested in chicken production, transportation,hotels, rest stops to mention only a few examples. All these investments failed and the government swore never to directly invest in any economic activity. That function was ceded to the private sector. Hence the policy of promoting private sector development. In this regard, how can SADA and the MAHAMA administration explain to Ghanaians why SADA was financially empowered to take Ghana back to the 1970s and to a sector that the country has avowedly ceded to the private sector. Could 't SADA have set up farmers cooperatives and supported them financially to expand guinea fowl production in the north. By the way who are behind the socalled private sector partner of SADA for this guinea fowl project. Runors are rife that the so called private investor is Mahama's financially ubiquitous brother who many people believe is a well protected front for John Mahama. I challenge Mahama to come clean and dissociate his name and that of his family members from this rumor.
