He can start to produce after-market auto parts that is also very lucrative. His dream of building cars is too ambitious. The auto industry is a very matured and highly competitive one and, therefore, not for the faint at hea ...

When governments in Africa set policies aimed at destroying intellectual zeal and stiffling growth of domestic industries,where do you expect to put the blame Mr Kofi Danso?
That's what I also thought when I read this. Why is it that it is the government that must be directly blamed if this guy cannot transform his talents into production. We are now operating a brutal laisser-faire economics and ...

Apostle Safo should learn from Osei Kwame Despite.People outside Ghana wonder if indeed THIS WAY is a Ghanaian product.Start by producing solar lanterns,simple things a poor man needs would do the trick.
African leaders only think about the aids they will get from the foreign governments and not about helping their own people. They behave like parents who do not want to work but expecting someone to fee them and their familie ...

Indeed this hypocritical behaviour of Ghanaian Leaders is uncalled for. One thing I have notice is that they are jealous and talk too much without walking the talk... If things are not properly done, Ghana will continue to be ...

You're right, James. Apparently, despite Safo's supposed genius and inventions, no one thinks he is worth investing in. The banks don't want to fund him. Government agencies don't want to promote him either. There's something ...

I think the Apostel. needs good managers and he should open up for public investiment, by selling shares. he doesnt need any goverment.
Apostle Safo is not getting help from the government because of the daughter's involvement in Politics.
I will call on President Mahama to use all his efforts to this noble inventor attain his goal, if he is able to help this inventor the generation of Ghannians in future will always remember him as a legacy.
Good articlw
So where is the prototype model of his car for which he is seeking funds for an assembly plant?
And if his genius lies in the organisation of his church for what invention is he being touted as a genius?

African leaders only think about their selfish interest especially ghanaian leaders they watch but they can see (Nana Safo contineu shining your star n u "ii reach success land.)
