  Nana Akufo-Addo, as Chief Conductor performing extracts from Ghana's Constitution with the NPP Symphony Orchestra in a political concert to mark the arrival of President Mahama's 'Cash-for-Jihadists' from Guantanamo Bay Prison to Ghana. Great performance! Nana Akufo-Addo takes a bow to acknowledge the applause, cheers and whistles from the audience. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
  
  There is now time for principal dancers like Hon Samuel Atta-Akyea, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Dr Okoampa-Ahoofe from the Royal Akyem Ballet Dancers to provide further entertainment.

  Kwame, read this piece and use your fossilized brain to see the hopelessness of Ph.D holders in Ghana.
  Wereko-Brobby holds Ph.D in solar science yet all he can offer Ghana is either managing an ageing Akosombo dam or ordering luxurious cars for Ghana@50.
  Elsewhere on the African continent Ph.D holders of substance are proving their worth.

  Uganda's Kiira Motors unveils 'Africa's first solar bus'

  Kiira Motors now hopes to attract partners to help mass produce the bus
  A solar-powered bus described by its Ugandan makers as the first in Africa has been driven in public.
  Kiira Motors' Kayoola prototype electric bus was shown off at a stadium in Uganda's capital, Kampala.
  One of its two batteries can be charged by solar panels on the roof which increases the vehicle's 80km (50 mile) range.
  The makers now hope to attract partners to help manufacture the bus for the mass market.
  
  Can Africa lead the way on renewable energy?
  Africa's new breed of 'solar-preneurs'
  Kiira Motors' chief executive Paul Isaac Musasizi told BBC News that he had been "humbled" by the large and positive reaction to the test drive.

  Solar panels on the roof of the bus will top up the vehicle's battery
  People have been excited by the idea that Uganda is able to produce the concept vehicle, or prototype, and Mr Musasizi said he wanted it to help the country "champion the automotive, engineering and manufacturing industries" in the region.
  He also hopes that it will generate employment, predicting that by 2018, more than 7,000 people could be directly and indirectly employed in the making of the Kayoola.
  But backing from international companies, which make vehicle parts, is essential for the project to take off.
  The vision is that by 2039 the company will be able to manufacture all the parts and assemble the vehicle in Uganda.
  The 35-seat bus is intended for urban areas rather than inter-city use because of the restrictions on how far it can travel.
  If it is mass produced, each bus would cost up to $58,000 (£40,000), which Mr Musasizi says is a a competitive price.
  Kiira Motors grew out of a project at Uganda's Makerere University, which is now a shareholder in the company, and it has also benefitted from government funding.
