After gaining power, the first thing npp is thinking about is the celebration of 60 years. K4 celebrated 50 year and we all saw the thiefery. This is a way to steal on the blank side on Ghanaians.

Mahama and his loot and share brigade are building 13.9 million dollar vice president's residence in Ghana. Kwasia! this should be a problem to you and that stupid fool who goes by the moniker 'prof whatever'. Per the authentic records available to us, 8 million dollars has already been paid by Mahama, living a balance of 5.9 million for Akufo Add to pay. And you idiots have time to write nonsense to denigrate a President who is far far intelligent than your stupid assholes.. Think about that. Ofui!

Really, Celebrating Ghana At 60, What For Pres. Akufo-Addo?
-----------------------------------

“How would you like Ghana's 60th anniversary marked"?

NOW, SAME BLOODY FOOL! KWARTENG'S, WHO IS ASKING THE PRESIDENT,IS ANSWERING FOR THE PRESIDENT AKUFO ADDO AT THE SAME TIME:

Here we go:-
For me, it is about national consciousness. About our values, integrity, patriotism and how to unleash our creative energies, i.e. time to reflect and realign.
------------------------------------

Now you can understand why I keep saying Kwarteng is a full idiotic semi-educated illiterate.
This imbecilic good for nothing "copy & paste cow is constantly misleading and misinforming the public with his modicum(10,5%) Intelligence Quotient. I wonder how Kwarteng made it to USA-Maryland, from where to blows his shit!

This is an avenue NPP can use to enrich themesleves and the party. Ghana at 60 is not worth celebrating. What are we celebrating at 60? JB Danquah and Nana Addo's feat of making Ghana first world country????

GhanaBoy,
It is too early. So, all we will say is, we hope they do not us any opportunity "to enrich themselves", except as approved by law that is in the best interest of Ghanaians.

SAYS FRANCIS KWARTENG...
READ: "...This is not national consciousness!...The country and its economy are in bad shape, according to Akufo-Addo and his...(NPP), yet the same country whose public purse we are consistently told is dry suddenly has enough money in it to adequately provide for Ghana’s sixtieth independence anniversary celebrations...It does not even matter whether or not the 30-member panning committee works on a pro-bono basis...".

WE SAY:
The rubber meets the road when government decides to do that sort of thing (celebration) with funds government could alternatively use to do (build, reconstruct, upgrade, etc.), other worthwhile things, elsewhere.

A funny thing seems to have happened to the NPP the last 0-9 years that no observer has thus far spoken about, as far as we can tell.

In the essay, Francis Kwarteng uses a word, "panning". This could have been very much intended, or a simple typo, for "planning". Still, however we look at it, it is actually appropriate. With "pan in hand", it now seems, Akufo Addo has selected 30 people to plan a national celebration.

We are wondering why Serious Akufo Addo did not publish a request for volunteers with a certain level of interest, expertise, commitment, resources, etc.?

In this telecom age, teleconferences, video, and such, does it even matter the 30-odd appointed members have to be resident/geographically located in Ghana, if you are going to "celebrate" wisely, prudently?

We are all watching!

Greetings!!!!

My God, what an intelligent fella! you write so well. Everything you wrote was on point. What is there to celebrate at 60? Prostitution or madness? As a country, we are completely insane(97% of the population). Every single Ghanaian can speak in "Tongues" but non of us can even manufacture paracetamol. What a useless generation. What is there to celebrate? Woyogate or the greatest invention of turning Ghana airways into a chop bar? Or we are celebrating independence? who said we are independent? Dont we still have the wigs of the colonial masters on our heads in the court? Come on, Ghana is a complete failed fiasco. 12 year olds from Japan or singapore can develop a better country if we give them a vast land in Africa. Damn Jokers we are!!!!

Kwarteng, is it because of the 60 that you are so worried about? Otherwise Ghana has been celebrating her independence anniversary since 1956. I don't know why you didn't complain about the Afcon 2017 since there is still open defecation. National consciousness, values, integrity, patriotism can be rekindled by all of us. We can always start from somewhere. Let's join the President and his team to celebrate our independence modestly. It is worth celebrating. Let's use our time and space profitably instead of insults.

Well, Sudan got its independence in 1956!

Get your date right, and then when you are done, address the rest of your own reservations.

I am done.

Francis Kwarteng,
Thanks for the follow-up!

The last we checked, Kweku had posted the last comment to our Part 5, of
"Greedy Komla 'Agbdli' Gbedemah & his rascal side-kick Kofi Abrefa Busia!(5)"

Very reflective, we must note.

Below is our response to Kweku on the other side:

Comment to:Gbedemah was no angel

Kweku,
We see!

Yours is a very thoughtful and comprehensive summary of the 1964 article.

For some of us, the other important thing is also to be able to connect the missing dots, to include that Dover, NJ, OJ story and Akosombo Dam. And when we connect the dot, we then must attempt to put the re-discovered into public circulation, outside the academy, if we can.

In Part 2, the article provides the following information: "...Just one "" operation "" of buying 24 locomotives from the Swiss businessman Johann Bernard Litscher brought him 10,000 Ghanaian pounds transferred to his account by the Henschel Firm in one of the Swiss banks...".

It has not taken us more than 1 hour to find the following since we discovered the document:

1 The Henschel Firm, German, manufactured and sold locomotives, pre- and post Nazi for sure

2. After numerous transitions, the Henschel Firm now exists as part of Bombadier, Canada

3. As of today, a "Johann Bernard Litscher" V, of Switzerland, has landed proporty assessed at ~$3.5M in Florida, USA. (Suggests that actual appraised/market value is well over $20 million).

These are certainly measures of credibility that ought to be part of the updated narrative, more than 64 years later, you must agree.

The paper is an important one with respect to the history of Ghana on account the record shows that the Johnson-CIA was in fact instrumental in the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah's popularly-elected government, in 1966.

Thanks.

Mr Francis Kwarteng am very disappointed in you for criticizing Mr Jefferson call for nation consciousness an a damnness statement from a scarecrow.This phrase from Mr Jefferson deserve a standing ovation rather than condemnation and insult.I did it puzzle if Mr Kwarteng understood the vocabulary consciousness or he is using a dictionary that fail to give proper definition of consciousness.To my understanding consciousness is awareness or perception of somethings and since perception is the same as consciousness and perception is ability to see,hear or aware of something through the senses and since Mr Jefferson call for the celebration of the 60 years of independence as nation consciousness to see the garbage all over the place,bat infested hospitals,bamboo stretcher or bamboo ambulance power by men and collapse school buildings and unsafe school buildings read to collapse and kill children which thieves has stolen $6 billion of oil money and another $6 billion not documented and more to come and stolen state vehicles and the call to citizens and not spectators a know it all did not see sense in the call for us to be aware or have consciousness of our environment of it apogee.Mr Jefferson deserve standing ovation of using the vocabulary consciousness.
