    So true. Kwame Nkrumah idealistically thought he could a community and economy akin to the early disciples....socialism. But even then we have the lesson of Ananias to know it does not work. profit motive is the main drive b ...

    Its like we never understand the satans of global economy unless we understand how the world bank and IMF had been working to destroy the world. Africa lucks any consensus. We export all our raw resources to them and leave ou ...

    I couldn't agree with you more. These clueless apes are the supporters the blood suckered running the country down.

    Another great statement! Ghana has the talent to be a great nation, but, again how do we get the right leadership? You mention Korea....there is also Malaysia, and Singapore, who all started with Ghana...and Ghana had the bes ...

    This is one of the best articles I have read on this web recently. But where is the leadership coming from to drag Ghana out of the hole it is now in?

    Isn't it more beneficial to any government yet to play along and fill their personal pockets? Itthink we need more focus on the mislead motivation of governments which keep driving the country in the wrong direction.

    Don't delude yourself into thinking that China practices socialism/communism. Their political system is communism, but that of economics is purely capitalism. If you care go and find out more on what I have said, and read abo ...

    If you think so of China, then Ghana really never practiced Socialism at all, even under Nkrumah. He only blurted out political rhetoric, and went on record as someone who designed an ideology he thought would best fit the Af ...

    Hello Mr Berko, I believe this is not the first time we have crossed path. I have read your very well focused rebuttal to my piece. And every curve on the way I was amassing arsenal to throw at you. However, you disarmed me ...

    Do you still believe in this nonsebse socialism? Where is Cuba, North Korea, Myamar? Turn to India, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia etc and see the harm socialism and its attendant problems has done to us.

  • Philip Kobina Baidoo 9 years ago

    Thank you Abigi for your input to help our people see the light.

  • Abigi 9 years ago

    You one of the few Ghanaians who has wisdom to see through the lies and propaganda that has bedeviled our country since independence. I am planning to establish an institute of conservative studies in the future to teach our ...

    ...Or colonial remnant?

    It would have been far more interesting to me if you had bolstered this opinion-piece with affirmative data.

    What ...

    I think we should not just jump on the bandwagon of relegating all Nkrumah did to some failed Socialist dogma.

    I will in a very short time produce an elaborate reference that would make all well-meaning Ghanaians rethink h ...

    Thank you, I kind of wish I had more time, e.g. for proof-reading (some mistakes in there :) and also because I didn't have the opportunity yet to read all of your own contribution above, much further than it conveying to me ...

    ...and I have to say it was just too convenient an opt-out that Mr.Baidoo chose to grasp at - to avoid any more specific and concrete answers by at least pretextually deeming you in the same team/camp.

    As if that were all ...
