  You have no reason whatsoever your reason be to be poisoning and killing innocent citizens of Ghana. You can't spill the blood of the people deliberately on this soil. That is forbidden. You have no right whatsoever to take the life of another man. So whosoever you are call your boys to order.

  So there's an acute shortage of trained teachers and the pupil teachers have also been withdrawn, so whichever way Ghana looks at it, it's going to miss that goal, not to talk of the issue of access, which has become a hoax.
  Coupled with the lack of incentive to keep and retain qualified and trained teachers in the classroom as a result of unfavourable gov't policies under this Mahama NDC gov't, the rate of attrition should be steep. Again, not to talk of the knock on effect of such retrogressive policies on getting Ghanaians to take on the teaching profession, which again is hampered by freeze on teacher trainee allowances, and necessitating the borrowing of loans at commercial rates by teacher trainees, to see themselves through the program.
  The net effect of these, under the Mahama NDC gov't is a gradual and systematic collapse of the educational sector and by extension, the rapid deceleration of the socio-economic growth and development of the country on the back of an uneducated and engaged citizenry.
  Ghana we dare say is headed for the rocks under the Mahama NDC gov't and until they are massively jettisoned at the ballot box, Ghana is going nowhere.

  The so-called professor needs to go back to school again. These types of socialists' arguments could deceive Ghanaians in the 50s and 60s but they cannot do so now. Nkrumah was the first leader to introduced debt into this nation by borrowing massively and unnecessary to finance his whims and caprices. It was a misfortune that we had such a person as president immediately after the independence. He didn't lay a good sustainable economic foundation for this country at all considering the amount of money that was at his disposal.
  
  Ghana had about 1bln dollars in its reserve when Nkrumah took over the reins of government in this country. Can you imagine the value of one billion dollars in the early fifties? Again, after 2years of Nkrumah's rule, cocoa prices at the world market rocketed and increased fourfold. But contrary to any sound economic planning, he did not reserve even a fraction of the windfall for a rainy day, as the Whitman had done when they had only one fourth of what Nkrumah got from cocoa every year. So, what did he do with all that money from the high cocoa prices and the reserve he inherited that took years to build for our future economic stability?
  
  He went on a spending spree both in Ghana and abroad, throwing his weight about and talking big. So when the cocoa prices fell close to the end of his rule, he was quick to point accusing fingers at the West, blaming them for manipulating cocoa prices to sabotage the economy of Ghana and overthrow his government. Finally, after squandering all the money mainly on useless prestigious projects, his mad rush for industrialization projects, which did not have firm foundation in the country to sustain them, he also burdened the young nation with another billion dollars debt before he was forced out of the country.
  
  The truth is that, Kwame Nkrumah met a rich country with stable economy, and left it nearly bankrupt as a result of gross mismanagement.
