    we are in modern times and are better educated so we have a better appreciation of the POVERTY AND EXCRUCIATING CONDITIONS OF THE NORTH AND VOLTA, so what is the reason for the few educated privileged individuals in these two ...

    My buddy Yahya, don't you think SADA is badly run because of how it is staffed? One thing a lot of people are afraid to talk about is why the government finds it convenient to employ only people from the three Northern region ...

    Sarpong, perhaps, it may have been an oversight on your part, but I did state emphatically that the inclusion of individuals other than northerners in the management of SADA is the antidote to the corruption and graft we are ...

    Mojingles, I might not have read that but we are on the same page. The success of SADA will not only be beneficial to Northerners alone but Ghanaians as whole and we are all praying the powers that be will get the right peopl ...

    YOU CAN TURN IT AS YOU WANT, THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA IS AN IDIOT

    Read his last words 'but more crucially recruit talent from other ethnic groups outside the northern regions'. This is also my problem.

    I'm an Akan and I hate tribalism but what you're saying is bullshit, sorry fellow Ghanaian. There's no republic of Akan anywhere. I speak of Ghana so stop the nonsense tribal talks. SADA management should be inclusive of all ...

    SADA was established by the Govt of Ghana to develop the northern part of Ghana. No provision was made for the staff to be Northerners, but they should be Ghanaians.

    Corrupt persons are corrupt persons. And there are laws ...

    Idris, apparently, your ability to reason and read between the lines is compromised by your prejudice against SADA...you have already formed negative opinions about the agency, so no amount of cajoling, nagging or convincing ...

    Ghana is no more only tribal politics . division and diversions count . their actions only show nobody cares or thinks about the unity and prosperity of the nation only their tribes count

    Why do you say only MPs in the south are questioning the impropriety? So you telling us that the MPs from the north endorse the rot? Why these selectivity? Do you think the SADA money comes from the north alone? This is gener ...

    An effective cure for a smelly nagging sore on the leg is to amputate the whole leg. Gilbert Iddi and Charles Jebuni did conspire with with others to turn SADA into their personal private banks. I say parliament should repeal ...

    This attempt to justify the retention of thie corrupt and wasteful agency can be described at best as "anansesem".
    You stated that there a whole lot of project that benefited the northern farmers, without mentioning any spec ...

  • Ghanaman 9 years ago

    that's a very enlightened statement. I share your thoughts.

  • mojingles 9 years ago

    There was absolutely no need to specifically mention any successful SADA project because that is not the central theme of my argument which was that SADA like all state agencies are susceptible to graft and corruption....perh ...

    Cherry picking statements and running away with them...what else is new?

  • Jim Jones 9 years ago

    All governmental agencies are not immune to corruption and so we should give malfeasance at Sada a pass. This is the most absurd statement that can be made.

  • mojingles 9 years ago

    Jim Jones, your statement is convoluted and nonsensical.....apparently, your failure to see the context in which I made that assertion is stunning...all state agencies are susceptible to corruption because there is no strict ...

    All those who caused the failure of SADA are university graduates. This is how far our useless university education has brought us.

  • Ghanaman 9 years ago

    The tribal sentiments in Ghana, especially, by the losers in politics, are getting scarier. Oftentimes, I hear panelists on Radio Gold's Alhaji and Alhaji, claiming that NPP is an Akan party. The question I ask myself is, doe ...

    Moses Kofi Yahaya contends that SADA's woes aren't an indictment of the north so whose indictment is it? I'd say it's an indictment of both the North and the government administration. SADA is a development program for the na ...

    Abrampa, my assertion that SADA troubles should not used as a prism through which an entire group is negatively viewed is largely a repudiation of the acerbic and neurotic comments that heralded the release of the AG's report ...
