That is just a list of all countries we believe are connected to the ATM, landlocked and not landlocked.
As you may know, the thing about those countries, which we did not mention is, users from those countries generally pay for ATM and Tema Harbor benefits with foreign currencies/exchange. As such the multiplier effects of their monies on the Ghana economy are a lot greater, compared to cedis just circulating in Ghana that are then collected at the ATM tollbooths and by Tema Harbor for maritime and administrative services.
And true, the port in Lagos, Nigeria, is bigger!

The self-calimed Professor (Lungu) yet deviates in almost all his posted essay.
For lack of confident, he will use "we" instead of "I", because he will need backing from his cohorts.

We will say that even "deviation" is relative and useful, many times! In the main, that is the credit Ghana-Centered/Ghana-Proud gets us. (You can take that to the bank!).
And while you are at the bank, tell them we said this is not "self-calimed", Dr. J.K. Bokor".
Then watch them deviate from procedures and give you a credit for "F". (Or, maybe you will prefer an "E" to suit your soul's desire).
Even so, "F" ("E") is still relative. And so, in all of that, you ought to be able to take some comfort.

Tell us why and how Prof. Lungu deviated? We ask because we believe you may have contracted Prof. Lungu to write this piece by, among other things, telling him what exactly he should have written!
Tell us master Adjoa Wangara. And stop stealing the monikers of respected people on Ghanaweb.

Could we then say that maybe you are "too old"?
ITEM: It is obvious you did not pay attention - if you even read the essay, to point to the value of money in 1964. But, we will not "elder-sit" you, the "too old", today!
Further, you are merely decreeing the ATM was "unnecessary at that time", arguing as if utilization of the ATM was a decision by Nkrumah, after 1966.
And to talk about "more cocoa roads" in 1964/1965, when the price of cocoa had been engineered to tank, etc.
So, in all seriousness, please take all of that, nkets, as "practice".

Dear Nii Teiko,
People like talk by heart.
Since when did constructing run-on sentences and comma splices become a crime? Comma splices are merely stylistic errors---not technical errors. What is more, linguists and grammarians disagree among themselves to what extent comma splices constitute technical errors. In the end it is strictly a matter of stylistic choice.
Nobel Laureates (literature) such as Wole Soyinka, William Faulkner, and other literary giants in the world of English prose (D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, George Orwell, Shakespeare, Chinua, James Baldwin, etc.) use comma splices and run-on sentences all the time. And if you think it is a problem for you, why not use coordinating conjunctions, semi-colons/colons/full stops, etc. (this is the strategy Ernest Hemmingway and Joan Didion employ in their writings)?
Of course, although run-on sentences are considered stylistic errors, some of the world’s greatest linguists, grammarians, and writers (in English prose) use them all the time. Even more important, some of these literary giants deploy run-on sentences and comma splices for rhetorical effect, simply as rhetorical devices. Don’t forget that comma splices and run-on sentences are mandatory in certain languages.
You may want to read these writers, who are counted among the world’s best writers: E.E. Cummings, James Joyce, José Saramago, Timothy Dexter, Junot Díaz, Samuel Beckett, Gertrude Stein, Cormac McCarthy, William Faulkner, Toni Morisson, Marcel Proust…Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe can’t write like any of these.
Nii Teiko, you don’t want me to tell you what a friend of mine, an Oxford-, Columbia-, and Harvard-educated linguist, literary theorist, and professor of English and comparative literature (he also sits on the editorial board of one of America’s prestigious peer-reviewed journals) says about Okoampa-Ahoofe’s writing! He referred to three Okoampa-Ahoofe books I gave to use for his master’s these at Columbia University as “potboilers.”
You want to know about the rest—other statements he has made about Okoampa-Ahoofe’s writings this far? You don’t want to know. In any case let me save them for later. Okoampa-Ahoofe can’t teach Prof. Lungu how to write. There is more Okoampa-Ahoofe himself needs to learn about writing.
Finally, I can only infer from your comments that you have no cogent reaction to Prof. Lungu’s masterpiece. Readers who are uncomfortable with “proven” facts are the ones who usually seek refuge in irrelevancies. Prof. Lungu’s essay is more than perfect as far his choice of stylistic identity goes. He has made his choice, what about you?
After all, Prof. Lungu is not doing anything different from what some of the world’s greatest writers have done or been doing insofar as the choice of stylistic identity goes! Shakespeare, Soyinka, Faulkner, Lawrence, E.E. Cummings, James Joyce, José Saramago, Timothy Dexter, Junot Díaz, Samuel Beckett, Gertrude Stein, Cormac McCarthy, William Faulkner, Toni Morisson, Marcel Proust…have all done it!
That said, I will not bore you with any technical texts and scientific papers on this subject matter.
Have a great weekend.
Take care.
Thanks.

Hope we are all learning from these "communications".
Even so, whatever we are doing on Ghanaweb, we surely are not engaged in "official communications", or pretending Ghanaweb is an academic journal, or that we are even journalists.
It may interest all to know that once in a while we decide not to respond to certain comments from some characters, particularly, double-triple-quadruple amputated monikers.
You know, monikers (and statements) that we can easily tell belong to losers who simply want to multiply their voices above and beyond what their pathetic and lonely selves can command in honest communications.
Thanks!

Lungu, I personally see you now as a "deep six", because you are currently like a film that has plummeted into a predictable pastiche of previous potboilers. In other words, you are of late not making sense in anyway.

The one common characteristics among MATEMEHO followers is their unlimited reserves off poisonous bile, the depths of their bitter gall are unplumbed!!! I believe their progenitors circa 1971-72 had begun to realize how thoroughly they had fucked Ghana over. Instead of building on Nkrumah's works they they derailed the development program, due pure personal political hatred!!! The realization that one has been the instrument(s) of your nations downfall must be devastating on the psyche!!! Having been willing snookered and hoodwinked by kwesibroni to boot must have been the final straw as their handiwork came to fruition!! Their vehement rejection and denunciations of Osagyefo was a way to compensate, it has had an effect on a second and third generation who have never actually perused the historical record. These people are akin to mindless followers of a dangerous cult, operating on false beliefs that do not concede nor comport to reality or empirical facts!! The end results include mindless venom spewing specimens like adjoawangara niiteiko smallcase etc who currently are so seething with frustration they resort to online impersonation!!
OSAGYEFO has been vindicated in almost if not all of his core positions, programs and predictions. His adversaries in the main reduced to small footnotes while OSAGYEFO is recognized worldwide as a giant among men!!

Prof Lungu,
Just to inform you that I've read you loud and clear. Keep it coming and expect the detractors who are surely threatened by these revelations about the great work Nkrumah and the CPP were doing to transform Ghana but were brutally cut down by the reactionary hirelings of the neo-colonialists to respond with trivia and insults. But the truth is not lost on the many open-minded young ones who frequent Ghanaweb, Modernghana, Ghanahero, etc.
Let us spread the message: the specters of Kwame Nkrumah and Franz Fanon are haunting the African continent, urging us to embark on the national liberation that they proclaimed must happen after liberation from colonialism. Or, we shall remain forever neo-colonies increasingly dictated to from New York/Washington, Paris, London and Brussels.
Nigeria, Togo, Benin and La Cot'devoir are not landlock countries. In fact Nigeria's port is bigger than Ghana's.
