    Western Transnational Corporations and the IMFs are cheating us because our useless university graduates who are now colonizing us are blind. This is why there is an upsurge in the payment of dubious judgment debts. They tak ...

    From the kind of titles you choose, you better call yourself, Kofi, I do not trust Africans

  • Kofi of Africa 10 years ago

    OBURUMANKUMA, you provide no evidence to support your assertion that I distrust Africa. It is clear the thrust of my posts are pro-Ghana/Africa, patriotic and designed to stimulate discourse which will assist the development ...

    Ghana has not demonstrated she is ripe enough to manage her own affairs.

  • Kofi of Africa 10 years ago

    Kofi, of course Ghana has demonstrated amply that we are ripe enough to manage our own affairs. Under Dr. Nkrumah Ghana gained the first political independence from British/European colonial rule that lit the fire of decoloni ...

    My article is far from emotional. Because I argue that Ghana has demonstrated amply that we are ripe enough to manage our own affairs. Under Dr. Nkrumah Ghana gained the first political independence from Brit ...

    Dodowa,

    My post is no more 'booklong' than your long-English response to it.

    I do not minimise the damage caused by the Chinese, what I am clearly, factually saying is that the exploitative acts of western Trans-Nati ...

  • Tokugawah 10 years ago

    Kofi is rooted in the 1950s and so out of date. His solution is nationalisation. The ill thought out various factories built by the great Nkrumah were nationalised businesses and within 20 years most of them were defunct. It ...

    Tokugaway,

    Nationalised industries is why China is owned $3 trillion by the US. Surely if the western system is superior it will have more money to pay China for its trade imbalance with it and not the reverse?

    Although I agree on most of what you write, you are completely wrong about your economic views and nationalization.
    Even in communistic China and Russia development started after liberalizing the economies.
