Ghana needs reform of the attitude of citizens .
It seems the leadership in Ghana is weak. How can you allow foreigners (chinese) to destroy your natural resources, meanwhile they preserve their own. Chinese people are the most wicked when it comes to money and competition. Look at how they have started exporting cocoa now. Soon they will overtake Ghana because they deal with mechanize farming. I am very sad and disappointed with Akuffo Addo's government. It seems Nana is smart in books rather than in governance. I am disappointed at my party. Look at how cement prices are increasing every day... I miss Kuffour's term.
Hi guys. Please get serious to stop this damn galamesay menace Ghana is sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode. Let’s cut the chase on the media attention and settle down on the real issues
