Ghana 's puppet president Kufuor and his corrupt admin

[rameco89]

Very funny clip

[mawuena73]

u guys shd just stop hating on de man, he has made it, through de good, de bad n de ugly ways, hw abt us? lets think abt ourselves 4 once.

[liuttlelove]

My father doesn't have to be handsome before i express myself mawuena73

[liuttlelove]

Haha who says "Kufour has been the Saviour of Ghana" i would rather hung or stave myself to death than to believe this shit. For all i know is NPP is the most corrupt and arrogant political party that has diminish the good image of Ghana to the world. It is NPP officials that do the CAMMING. The NPP's are arrogant .

Akoufo Addo guy blow so much money campaigning, know that he will recover it all from his illigal activities of DRUG dealing and ONLINE SCAM...WHAT A SHAME...

[gmgnow]

@liuttlelove

aba aba (enough is enough).NPP "diminishing the good name of Ghana to the world", really? where do you get your facts from? They may have not been perfect, but they've done a good job. Corruption is everywhere even in countries (Eurpe: Britain, France, Spain and so on) which call themselves as "the fathers of democracy". Obi y3 adia bo ni din, wo ambo ni din a, m3n s3i ni din.

[liuttlelove]

Both bush and Ghanain monkey (Kofor) are criminals

[davidabbuekr]

He was the greatest leader of my life time. Just character assassination

[G10PRO]

ONLY KUFOUR'S REGIME MINISTERS ARE ALLOWED TO SELL DRUGS WHAT

SHAME.....

[azalori]

@G10PRO LIKE CASTRO'S DICTATORSHIP IN CUBA. ALL THESE DICTATOR HAVE TO DIE. IBORU IBOLLA IBOSHESHE.

[ryddimz]

No one political party can lay claim to Ghana.... Ghana's situation took a turn for the up around 1984 during the ERP era. Its funny that Ghanaians forget that at the time there was 123% inflation. When NPP took power, I don't remember them facing 123%, or having to build a national electric grid or build infrastructures from the sratch. Point is if we'd rise above party politics we'll recognise that Ghana has relatively seen positive economic result (albeit slow) and political stabilty in the

[sheronlee2010]

People we must remember that politics is dirty all across the board. New World Order. Who ever is for it and understand it, will pay severly for what they are doing to us as a human beings. The president may have done alot for Ghana presently but meeting with Blair and Bush don't look to Good for Ghana's future. New World Order that means we all will be back in slavery soon. wake up people and get educaed and seek truth and facts. Ask questions it does not hurt.

[kgsbrain]

At least state some facts. Pathetic if you ask me.

[3409409]

This is completely nonsense

[ProHUMANITE]

Kufour has been the Saviour of Ghana and we would have been in the pits if the NDC ruled Ghana after his (Rawlings) rule. It was clear the West didn't want Rawlings and his NDC. It was Kufour who made the mark and was gracefully rewarded by the West. He is today hot cake on the International arena whilst Rawlings hardly make his voice heard on the global front. His anger over this has led him to speak against his own hand-picked president who has refused to take orders from him. God Bless GHANA

[sheronlee2010]

@ProHUMANITE brother educate yourself bout New World Order. Ghana's future don't look good sweety.

[emperor24g]

The guy who posted this video is some how crazy or not staying in Ghana, because your video does not make any sense at all, you should know that he was in power for 8 good years and eveybody was amazed for applauding him for his good job and also above all respects himself......come on, delete off his video and knee down and pray to God for forgiveness for publishing what you do not know......FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mampee101]

Infact he's the United States Puppet...Ghanaians realized he was just as corrupt if not even more than what he accused the previous government...that's why he's no more...and for all those saying he's the best president...until u realize that governing a nation, is not only limited to the major cities or the creating policies that will only benefit the elite...then i'll ignore your ignorant statements.

[Adjei88]

how can you insult kuffour when the8 yrs he presided over ghana was the best yrs ghana have ever had, and now NDC is in power and everyone is regreting putting them in

[peasah2005]

There's only one Osagyefo Doctor Kwame Nkrumah.

[peasah2005]

Brother Kwame Nkrumah is the only one for me, that did so much for our country of Ghana.

After he was totally removed, Ghana was in total disaray.

Busia, Lilmann, Rawlings and Kufuor all hopeless not only failed in their Presidency, but brought our counrty down on our knees.

I hope, Atta Mills doesn't follow the same ignorance than the others after Doctor Nkrumah.

[noelkiller]

what did u lot see how ghana was before he came,cum on guys he made ghana a better place,look at ghana now 2010 were goin bk wards again,its a shame

[mrghanaboy17]

The best President GHANA have ever had. He made GHANA move forward in this modern day. Made Ghana a gr8 NATION.

GOD BLESS HIM N HIS FAMILY.

THE grace of the Lord be wid him

[evansba2]

bustard 2 e one who posted this video

[peasah2005]

Kufuor was too busy smiling and kissing the asses of both Bush and his poodle, Blair.

[kwekusemanu]

Hypocrate are talking about Kuffour stepping down as a president peacefully afteer his term in office. May I ask this question then? Was he the first to step down peacefully? Didn't Rawlings of all people did the same thing? If Rawlings was guilty of whatever he might have done for the betterness of Ghana, Kuffour is neither a saint either.

Freedom of speech and information, right? So why you muppets calling the postee of this video names.

A word to a wise is enough.....

[peasah2005]

I am not suprised about Kufuor is so corrupt.

Kufuor had spend our people's money on his kids' so-called education and on his so-called palace.

Not only Kufuor is guilty of ignorance, the whole lot of them do it.

[peasah2005]

Kufuor is a crook.

He didn't do anything and he wasn't ever for the interest of ordinary African people in Ghana.

I hope he rots away and fast.

[qlaw04]

Whoever put this video up knows about as much about Africa, Ghana and the politics therein as they do about fornicating.

John Kufuor was perhaps the best post colonial African leader ever. democratically elected, he preserved and enhanced democracy and the economic affairs of his country and after a relatively short term in office he voluntarily stepped down. This is virtually unprecedented in Africa.

Shame on the shitbird who posted this video.

[Sparkgame]

after all the good he did,u put him on blast like this?....whoever put up this video has no idea of politics in ghana.....where's ur head at hommie?

[fabs1979]

Tomasq 3...NDC is now in power now...happy are u? Or as they say life isn't always greener on the other side.....is it?

[waterfisher83]

haha, that is so true of Mr. Diewuo Kufuor.

[cashmares]

whoever put up this video is obviously a very big fool. u dun know anything about politics in Ghana and this video is just some made up shit. i dun no wer ur head is but it is not screwed on properly. we all know its president Kufuor who has done more for Ghana than any other president so far. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was a godsend but Kufour has done more to ensure democracy than the NDC government will ever do. u r an idiot so please get ur facts straight or don't publish this kinda video at all

[yao052]

what is the name of this song

[MrCommonlawyer]

@yao052 It's by Fela Kuti and the Afrika 70

[kpabebs]

Whoever put this video on is a fool and does not know anything about Ghana....

[ganzoed]

the man is obviously corrupt, just like many African leaders, that's why Africa is an economic shit-hole. And it is the stupidity and blindness of people like you who defend people according to ethnic background that allows this to go on. It is simple Africans are yet to raise up and revolutionize against the status quo. Until then it will always be a vicious cycle.

[2fresh4dell]

idiot... Stay out of our affairs fool!!! You don't even know what you are talking about which makes it more annoying! This was mainly political propaganda by the then opposition...

[cashmares]

why will u say obviously corrupt? what do u base this on? if u dun know something shut ur mouth and stop making assumptions. yes i agree when u say about the ethnic background but president kufour transcended all ethnicity. he dint favor his ethnicity or the others. by far the most amazing president of Ghana.

[iXetsa]

This youtuber needs to do a little more research before posting a video.

[thriller55]

long live ghana

[afterthesirens]

who's that at 0:35 ?

[yorubaland]

Hand-puppet, dummy, doll president! Body language please! Actions speak louder than voice. The Perambulator as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sighed years ago, is a deserving title 4 Kuffor. Dis behaviour still prevalent wit African presidents there 4da free ride & fun, burning tax payer cash 4da most grotesque body language abroad. Kuffor should have kept a healthy distance from unpopular Bush 2 avoid such a catastrophic gesture. F**king horrible 2see men! Absolute Bullocks! Nigerian/Ghanaian

[papapharoh]

we ashanti this,we ashanti that,,too much fuucking tribalism,,that why npp is loosing..grow up africans.

[CobbyLouis]

thank you... well said

[kandybabz321]

who ever posted dis can u also try n post up all the leaderz, motherz and fatherz dat was killed years ago by j.j n also compare de state of ghana before 2 now. u no wat? just appreciate dnt hate

[CobbyLouis]

ok whoever posted this stupid thing can go fuck himself. The man is well educated and talking about coming and going, of course every president makes visitations to other countries. the fact that he's drinking champaigne or whatever does not make him a scandal. Are u trying to say that everything was just great before he became the president? talk about all the good things that are happening to the ppl now.

And whoever said ashantis keep the nation going is the biggest moron to ever live

[mabonzo1]

i totally agree with u............ plus i am not ashanti but as a Ghanaian i think Kuffour has helped us a lot not all things were good but majority of his actions were and we shud be grateful.........he was a wonderful president n i enjoyed his reign............so all dem haters... pls stop hatin

[CobbyLouis]

oh i'm not hating.. i have absolutely no problem with ashantis as a group of people. I lived in Kumasi for a long time and i think there are some good and intelligent ashantis... my only problem is with the ppl who just make this a tribal arguement and say, and i quote, "Ashantis keep Ghana going forward and whithout us Ashantis, Ghana would be nothing"

[fantibird]

Atta all the way

[kufuor4]

dont hate because we ashantis are more capable of doing things by ourselves instead of relying on the state to provide for as. Kufuor has done a wonderful job in ghana and if atta mills is president of ghana i will never step foot in ghana.

[peasah2005]

@kufuor4

In what way did he do a so-called great job for Ghana?

He brought nothing but a disaster in Ghana and on top of that he goes and so-called impress the devils of Washington and London and to come with ignorant coments that our people in Ghana are lazy.

He's a greed beast and he shouldn't come out and disrespect others.

[gmgnow]

@peasah2005

oh please, are you really trying to say that his administration brought nothing good to Ghana? You may not be living in the country (neither do I) but before making such comments, verify your statements on the Internet.

[takoradiguy]

Kuffour is a big sellout govt,a stooge and a small dog for america and britain

[hotsexi08er]

yall need to leave Kuffuor alone and appreciate hat he has done for ghana instead. look at how ghana has changed since he came into power.

[pulypul]

i really appreciate my ghana -i only want the better one to win!!!!!!!!!

[GOTIRES]

well the ashantehene doesn't have my respect.Also I love fantes because they are peacefull.Why are a lot ashanti women marrying fantemen today?because they know we are better.after fantes have sex with ashanti women they don't go back to their 1 inch penis ashantes.

[oduro0111]

wat's wrong with you?

you should not even consider yourself a ghanaian you bastard. go do something better with your life instead of insulting people like that on the net.

[bulletbonsu]

u need go nd fuk urself u bastard

wivout us da ashanti, ghana wouldnt be ghana

so stop hating jus cos u aint ashanti

its ok, i kno u wish heroes like yaa asantwaa were fante. its kl man i feel ur pain

[CobbyLouis]

hey dirtbag. u cant just live off the coattails of ashantis who have done good things. there's no question about the fact that the current president is a good president and also an ashanti. but you have to realize that there are some stupid ppl who are ashantis, yourself included. So just shut the fuck up and think before u post anything on the web

[bulletbonsu]

hey u first of all i think u r bored becos wot u r saying has got nothing to do wit da my comment or his.

u r jus seeking attention, so am gonna ignore u afta dis u fuken prik. ''dirtbag'' u kno lol. dats how u kno u r 1 of dem ghanaians hu tinks dey american. i bet u go ghana nd wer timberlands with leather jackets(wasteman)

[CobbyLouis]

i don't think i'm an american and i've never thought that way.. I'm not seeking attention from anyone and about wearing a leather jacket in ghana, i'm not that much of an idiot and i lived in kumasi for over a decade and i could bet that most of the ppl who wore jackets in kejetia were ashantis... you can't just base the progress of a nation on one ethnic group because that's just something an idiot would do. i don't hate ashantis i just hate those of them that talk like you do

[CobbyLouis]

Ok that's not even something that's worth saying. My father is Fante but I don't consider fantes as being better than Ashantis. And i'm not sayting Ashantis are better either. There are smart and stupid Ashantis, as there are smart and stupid Fantes... About the penis comment, I don't even have anything to say other than the fact that you disgrace Fantes. Think about what you wanna say a few times, then post your comments

[vicabelcom]

u must be crazy. Do u think by just sitting at home the country will go forward. He is the best president thereis

[fantibird]

Kufuor has only been a travelling president.

Does he know how Ghanaians are suffering?

Atta Mills will be a better president.

[dboydes]

You will have to be a fool not to see what Kuffour is doing.He is not the best president Ghana has ever had but he is somewhat good.Ghana has changed since he came in office and some corruption has followed these changes.

[gmgnow]

@dboydes

I totally agree with you. He isn't perfect, but hey, who is in today's world? Even the "mother of democracy" (Britain) has problems with corruptions and so on.

[sawsb]

He's the best president Ghana has ever had

whoever made this vid is obviously ignorant as anything

[KalahariSurf]

but hey Ghana is a beautiful country with some truly friendly people

[KalahariSurf]

my friend can you name one regime in ghana that wasn't corrupt? They whoole country runs on "dashes" even Rawlings, who was meant to be very anti corruption, has been implicated in corruption.

What's most Ghanaian officials' favourite saying , "Brunei, you dash me small,small" that tells you the real problems in Ghana and Africa

[adobemae]

im 14 and ghanian....but the picture where he was about to drink some wine is just plaint stupid....if you sore him with a massive beer bottle in his hand ,,THENNNNNNNNNN you can comment

[cleogyrl]

I'm not a supporter of Kuffuor but some of those pics are a bit far-fetched. It's called international collaboration and is a process of forming global alliances. Who's to say similar pictures aren't of existence that feature Ghanaian presidents with other African, American and/or European Presidents. Obviously the creator of the video isn't just a nonsupporter like myself but also a very disturbed person at heart.

[globalfusionnyc]

while i love the bantor & sharing of information & discourse because it shows that we are alive and involved. It is reminicent of the 60's in many ways. It saddens me that most that other Africans (mother land & diasporans find it ok & automatic to call an educated black man an "uncle Tom". shame on you!

[globalfusionnyc]

I was just in Ghana after 7 years & you would have to be blind or just stupid to not see that kuffor has done some good in Ghana. The country is flourishing with economic prospects, but it is up to the people to all contribute to make sure that we do not let history repeat itself in the depletion of our resources with no benefit for the self sufficiency , wealth & sovereignty of our nation. Ego & bossman sensibility is the bane of Africa & politics!it takes a village & a nation!FWD EVER!

[BOYKWAKU]

You can not measure progress by the number of new hotels springing up. That wealth is completely controlled by the ridiculously few. The masses don't have simple basic necessities to live , to survive. Are ghanaian people this blind to the real economic hardships of the people around them.?

[globalfusionnyc]

maba!Ghanaians who want change can't just sit aside & be kokonsafoe without doing your part. Government is supposed to be for the people by the people-so do your part!million dollar homes on unpaved roads while you pay little to no property tax, living overseas coming back just to floss without ever really giving back, giving & taking bribes, pissing & shitting on the street in plain view like you don't know any better while blaming poverty- isn't doing your part or bringing solutions!fwd ever!

[lartei67]

Don't you think that Kuffor and his administration ushered in an enviroment of vanity and irrational exhuberance?? Ie, drugs

on the rampage and &2,0000 suits for members of parliament?? Who also use drugs. Which allowed the armed robbers to gain a better foothold in Ghana bcos Koffor and his vanity

allowed Ghana be be asleep at the wheel when it came to national security.

[gorazo6600]

for people like you whoever posted this video there will not be development in africa.how can you at any point consider a president like kuffour a badman, this is a man and a party who has help our nation which was put into misery and poverty by people as johny junk rawlings,anyway i take it you dont know what you are talking about

[tamale26]

u must be one of those foolish NNP guys who follow kufour and take scraps from his dinning table. you dont need a soothsayer to tell you the man has plunged the country into chaos. lawlessness, corruption and mismanagement of state funds has been on the ascendancy since this guy ( who is a leadership novice) miraculously won the election. he is tribalistic and only sees to the welfare of his own short, dark, hairy ape-like ashanti tribesmen from the forests of ghana

[Kalydosos]

I didn't really have an opinion on khufor before he started making those dreadful statements. On the slave trade without mentioning how it financed western industrialism and progress. He's an uncle tom, doing nothing to help Ghanaian farmers and now an American military base in Ghana. China is going to kick Americas butt in Africa they do not militarise they mostly build roads,hospitals,schools. In the future I fear millions more Africans are going to die, Africa is unable to defend herself.

[ndombolo7]

Man! I thought I heard all of the great Fela's songs. This song is even better than Zombie. All the "tails of state" in Africa are "perambulators", at the service of US and European imperialism. Those who share the same class aspirations as Kuffour, Jammeh, Mbeki, kibaki Wade and the rest of the gangsters will always come to their defense. Whenever "White power" - imperialism - praises an African "leader"; you got to be doing something wrong to your people and to their benefit.

[KhafidIbrahim]

Malaysians to run our telecommunications, South Africans to mine our gold and Americans to extract our oil? This backward thinking has cost us years of oppression and the dictation of prices for our own commodities. To add insult to injury, we are now told to bend over while we are further exploited without mercy, selling our children's future for crumbs from our masters. The World Bank or the I.M.F. to interfere with Ghana's economy. Oxford Educated, Thanks for nothing Mr. President.

[fleapius]

This video is a nuisance, infact waste of time annd very misleading,no wonder its coming from a very disgusting person..No matter what you guys think or say Kufour is the best President of our time. believe it or yes!!! All of you will rot in hell.

[mampee101]

I SECOND THE PERSON WHO CREATED THIS VIDEO....SOOOOOOOOO TRUE....nothing but drug dealers....i was soo shy the other day it came up in none of my political science classes...i couldnt admit i was ghanaian...

[anthonyharry28]

Well KK is a pupet Ghana has no ecomical freedon really to progress. The IMF/ World Bank controls Ghana's ecomically. And that is the truth.. US based in Ghana is to oversee the the oil Ghana has discovered. Not the intrested for Ghana but for the US

[Kalydosos]

Your right.

[peasah2005]

@anthonyharry28

Defintely, Kufuor along with other stool puppets are always inolved investing our people's earning with either the so-called World Bank and the so-called International Monterary Fund while Africans are still less off without a proper living standard, because of these worthless disgrace African leaders who keep on giving our things to their Western criminals.

[mezmeriz2006]

LMFAO!! Damn this thing is too funny! But seriously all the corruption in Ghana needs to stop, aba!

[ghanaman101]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[naamb]

yaaobeng, a satire is not a direct attack on people and on their integrity. Go find out what a satire really is. In any case, one who satirizes must tell the truth. Have you ever heard the words "defamation" and "libel"?

[naamb]

This is a highly irresponsible compilation and misinterpretation and misrepresentationof events. I am surprised that tomasoq3, or whoever put this video together did not take the time to find out if the claims s/he is making i this video are true or not. It must have taken you some time to put this together, so, tell me, did you take the time to research into your claims or you just put it up? If yes, who/what are your sources?

[pbkogh]

this is high irresponsible because you cant subject a sitting president to such derogatory description.

[2fresh4dell]

This video is a disgrace...

[debuddy1]

kuffouris a disgrace.

[gmgnow]

@debuddy1

where do you live for making such comment? In what manner is he a disgrace?

Look at how Ghana is compared to 15 or 20 years ago. The man has pushed the country forward.

[fantibird]

Can u imagine that one minister of state was arrested in the USA for cocaine related issues. Eh...Ghana...

[fame62]

the guy who posted these video doesn't seem to know much of ghanaian politics, during 20yrs of political slavery they were asked to keep quite because they were afraid of him.remember 1983 when hunger struk these country your rawllings was abroad fattening himself and now you are showing Kuffour sipping juice whiles a girl drnks pipe born waater supplied by the admnistration of JAK to save her thirst.lets leave these guy alone cause out of ignorance he's lost and seem to be caught in his mind.

[ejjones]

That's right, he's a puppet. Let 'em know.

[kobeok3]

u ignorant fugly sick bastard. u are obviously sick to create such a disgusting viideo. perhaps u should listen 2 da advice of da others and get ur facts straight he is da one who has changed politics and gov't in Ghana eva since dat jackass left office. peace. Ps. nice song dickhead.

[KattOne03]

The song sounds like Fela Kuti. A true legend!

Make sure to check him out.

[mwanamberi]

Who sang that song?

[everyegide]

is amazing this africa.EVEN THE DEMOCRATS ARE CORRUPT

[nayak33]

person who posted this is such an ignorant fool. i think he believes that Ghanaians think as myopically as him. Kufuor is the best president Ghana has had since Nkrumah....a refreshing change from all those military adventurists who ruled as by the barrel of the gun. in 6 years he has achieved more than what JJ achieved in 20 years.

[BRINGITN]

im really disappointed in the one who posted this

[Bergacquah]

first of all u're a jackass, a moron, and an ignorant fool to post this video. President Koffour is a good man not 2 put you in ya place. Will u post search a video or talk trash if he was Rawlings.

[fantibird]

Kufuor is good...he's this...that.

Well, you sound as good as him!

[blakkuszee]

Pls remember dat it is GOD who installs kings and presidents...........mind your language pls, abt the way you talk about your president...........He deserves our utmost respect as the head of the nation............Besides, he's performed creditably........shame on you!!!!

[Bergacquah]

who's this fuckin'ingnorant fool name fantibird. B4 u make a comment 'bout somethin' think 'bout just those whom he accused and eliminate b4 he came in power. No sin is greater than taking another man's life, even when u think they wrong. U might not like the new president. We all want the best for the country. It might be your opinion. I respect that but don't go overboard.

[fantibird]

DON'T GO OVERBOARD???

I hope u really let someone explain that to u!

I'm so sorry I didn't mention the name of any murderer except the one u r trying to defend!!!

Pls don't go overboard!!!

[osafroadu]

KUFOUR amongst all the past prez's have performed creditabily.Just take alook at our economy,More banks are springing up and giving loans leveraging poverty.

[osafroadu]

Ask economists, investors and finanncial analysts whether our economy is not improving.

Now the world bank, Imf, Traparency international,journalists and other human right organisations rate Ghana's position as improving economically, politically and also imporoving in the rule of law. All this is under Kufour's Administration. DO NOT DECEIVE THE WORLD. I believe You are now educated,thou politician

[fantibird]

Economists, IMF, World Bank, journalists, oh please..... grow.....grow. No wonder!!!

[osafroadu]

Mind your He is a suspect accused not judged yet.The so called coing and going you have shown has caused investors presence in our economy which he marketed by the travelling. Tell me you are not enjoying the returns from his travels.

[osafroadu]

Let us apprciate Prez Kufour steps to do away with corruption by setting systems like the accountablity commitees, empowerment of the Serous fraud office amongst others. Remember the minister in your Video is still undergoing trail in the USA and there is no government intention to involve itself in the trail proceeding.

[osafroadu]

Africa when will we grow. We pierce each other expecting the western world to paint us white. Shame to the corrupt person who placed this online. Be ashame off your self.Did Prez Kufour self the nacortic or is involvd in nacortics.Give us a break and tell me which country is free from any form of corruption. .

[andysevor]

Kuffour's administaration is the most corrupt administration in Ghana in recent times. With the President clearly admitting that, when he's offered bribe, he tells the bribe givers "WAIT, WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT"..

What he and his administration does it to assasinate people's hard end reputations..

Whether u like it or not, your time will surely come.. Ghana is watching u./.

[nayak33]

do a spell check or go back to school. you are so ignorant and clearly have no facts to suppourt your tirade against the president. Maybe you should do a comparison between the past presidents under every sector of the economy and compare to kufuor. This is the best admin that Ghana has ever had and it is a fact.

[yaaobeng]

Isn't this just like Ghanaians, just because kufuor is better the the previous president doesnt mean he is a good president. The country is still rife with poverty and other inequities. HIV/AIDS is becoming a problem , our health structure is abominable. All you people keep on saying get your facts straight and yet gave no facts to elighten the rest of us! ghanafuo adea ye tutum a yen ka se eye tutum na yen gyei se debia na ye de nturo!

[nayak33]

all the problems of Ghana cannot be solved within 7 years. but precedents are important in politics and comparison of records. Health- His Govt has set up the NHIS getting rid of the cash and carry of NDC. Health workers have been given more incentives and the health sector has improved. GDP has risen from $3.2 billion in 2000 to $15 billion now.Inflation in 2000 was 52% - today its 11%. Minimum wage was 96 cents in 2000- today its $2.30. facts are sacred my friend.

[yaaobeng]

Facts are sacred only when they apply to a MAJORITY something that is not the case in Ghana. Health sector has improved is not good enough where are our HIV initiatives, our malaria initiatives, For god's sake GUINEA WORM is still endemic in Ghana- that to me is preposterous...

[yaaobeng]

I agree with you 7 years cannot erase 20 bad ones but that does not mean we cannot criticize the president, after all this is not some kind of constitutional monarchy where Kufuor is a king. GDP has risen but who owns the businesses that have employed more and therefore encouraged the GDP to rise, I think you can see where I am going with this.

[yaaobeng]

Kufuor, in the presence of his white counterparts, smiles like the caricaturial monkey as if Blair and BUSh do not exploit Ghanaian resources everyday, for example why is AFRICOM even being discussed? what is there to discuss the idea is fishy so we should not be involved!I am not saying he has not done great work, i am personally impressed with his strides in the education sector,

[yaaobeng]

HOWEVER the president who does not allow criticism is a budding dictator and the people who claim he should not be criticised are the ones who enable said dictator. I am enjoying this convo please respond!

[nayak33]

you present another blatant lie. There has been no Govt in history receptive to criticism like this one. 2006 transparency international voted Gh ahead of USA in press freedom. This Govt took away the criminal libel law which underpinned the culture of silence established by rawlings. You should be in Ghana to hear Ghanians criticise and voice out opinions on the airwaves. The only time in our hostory that K4 opened his house to journalists to debunk allegations of a $3million renovation.

[nayak33]

It will be better if you know your facts. AFRICOM has been on the news since 2005. there is no AFRICOM in Ghana and Liberia is the only country that has agreed to it in Africa. Bush denied setting up of AFRICOM when he was in Ghana if you have prove of that lets see. Insults like this video insults the intelligence of Ghanaians and half truths peddled does not help anyone.When has the West not exploited our resources? there is a gap between actual and potential of Gh no doubt.

[nayak33]

insults and not issues is what you are dwelli9ng on and thats what this video is about. i live in Gh and just in the UK for a phd.HIV prevalence rate is not 5% it is 2.3%. Educational initiatives are on and its one of the reasons why the prevalence rate has fallen. The NHIS was piloted on district basis which encompasses the rural areas and not the cities.FDI's have increased by 500% and injection of capital i8nto the manufacturing sector has increased from approx $300m in 2000 to $3.2 m in '07

[nayak33]

explain what you mean by HIV initiatives when Ghana has recorded a low prevalence rate in HIV,for the past 5 years, money is being pumped into looking for a cure and prevention initiatives are on the rise. Ghana's malaria initiatives is regarded as no 1 in Africa (even though it is with support of the USA.)WHAT DO U MEAN BY MAJORITY WHEN THE NHIS which has 50% penetration within 5 years is pro poor. Do you live in Ghana? No one says within 7 years Ghana will have all its problems gone.

[yaaobeng]

I do not not live in Ghana but according to your profile neither do you, I do not think you need to live in Ghana to be able to have opinions about how my country is being run. As to HIV/AIDS initiatives I am talking about having educational prevention programs in RURAL areas where evidence-based experiments have shown are becoming hotbeds for the virus. I think you need to check yourself on the "low prevalence" 5% prevalence is not "low" when we think of where the incidences are occuring.

[yaaobeng]

emphasis on recorded,Please do not insult my intelligence and tell me that you honestly think that the majority of HIV/AIDS cases are reported, first of there is a Huge social stigma about HIV/AIDS in Ghana that will only be eased through educating, NHIS has 50% penetrance where? not in the rural areas where issues like Guinea worm are endemic...we are not saying all the problems need to be gone, but dont be backward&make insiduous comments like this video should not be up. It's free speech!

[yaaobeng]

as to "money is being pumped into looking for a cure" correct yourself, western pharmaceutical companies are pumping money to find a cure...Please do you honestly think that cure (if ever found) will reach Ghana at her time of need? We can't even get generic ARVs from Cipla! This is what I am talking about you obviously have not informed yourself about the nature of HIV/AIDS in Ghana today..social stigma plays a large role in allowing the virus to spread.

[nayak33]

social stigma to diseases are not a making of this govt thats why education has been vital. and another point of correction ARVs are available in Ghana!! yes foreign pharmaceutical companies are looking for cure but so are research institutes in ghana including the mampong plant research. Gh's research prog was even given a £400k boost by prince waleed not too long ago and experiments are currently being carried out. you know what? pls get ur facts right instead of relying on hearsay.

[yaaobeng]

And so what if you live in Ghana? You act as if one needs to live in Ghana to know of HIV prevalence rates etc. And of course western countries are exploiting us but dont sit with them and smile like a happy "nigger" being thankful for giving us a meagre 6.7mil as if that can make up in anyway for the money stolen from us everyday. And this NHIS initiative you keep on harping on is a farce, my friend who actually lives in Ghana at the moment tells me of instances when he operated under the light

[yaaobeng]

of his cell phone....where are these initiatives hitting and are they effective? I find nothing wrong with the video it is not as if these images have been created! I would expect a Phd. candidate of all people to be able to see that like the great articles now being printed about Kufuor in Ghana, this video is a political statement! He is playing uncle tom and the happy nigger! I dont know about you but I find that most problematic. good day!

[yaaobeng]

Also nayak reading the other comments you come as an egotistical person, as if a pHd. somewhat qualifies you to insult anyway please get off your high horse you are not the only person going to school! And regarding your comment some months ago about Nkrumah, it seems you have a tendency to lean towards corrupt presidents, I am sure whatever "saito" you are attaining your degree at has a library go and school yourself about why Nkrumah as debunked. And then make comments, it seems people have

[yaaobeng]

not been taking you on but guess what? today you have met your match keep the comments coming so i can school you on your own history seeing as how your living in Ghana has done nothing for you in terms of your history. And ps: if you are wondering, no I am not a phd. candidate but I am pursuing a dual degree in neuroscience and molecular genetics so I can conduct research in the HIV/AIDS sector...bring it!

[nayak33]

At no stage in our discourse did you substantiate any allegation you made about K4's govt. You showed a lot of ignorance in raising issues on freedom of speech, health initiatives, AFRICOM, the govt's records etc. You have no sense of history regarding the precedents and the economic situation in Gh even in 2000. I have had to even give you stats regarding the economy btn now and 2000. All you can say is "thanks". i am sure pple like JJ are your heroes and the quintessential perfect president.

[yaaobeng]

Actually, I have showed a great deal of knowledge because you are obviously not keeping up with America news, why do you think BUsh decided to suddenly give us a sum for our Malaria eradication program, days after introducing AFRICOM to the American public, if anyone is a baffoon it is you my friend. Pointing out a presidents inconsistencies is not wrong. And actually seeing as how no comment I made today regarded the economic situation of Ghana, you are right I do not claim to know it!

[nayak33]

i think u need a lot of learning about initiatives and get your statistics. it will be good for you to deal with facts if you are going into science. this is a political statement of course. the projection of the opinion is being passed as facts which a science student like you should know as dis ingenious. i condemn the video like most of the pple who viewed it cos it is skewed and far from true. there are unsavory things about the govt but what is the balance. you really need self education.

[yaaobeng]

I have substantiated every argument I have made, for example did you check the WHO website I gave you the stats you are ranting of about with 500% increases and other bullshit is not listed anywhere my friend. Get you information straight before you come and tell me I need a lot of learning. you need to learn the true distinction between propoganda and SATIRE! The video is a satire, in countries where there is free speech thats what happens or did they not teach you that in school as well. and

[yaaobeng]

for the record, I am not a Rawlings sympathizer. All the video is saying is that Kuffuor kisses ass to white presidents! is it a lie? The only person who needs self education in this convo is you! Since you are so science based, Send the links to all your so called facts that you have been shooting off I am sure as a phd student they teach you something about sources and citing them. As you said I am a science student, and there is nothing like evidence to back up your claims! i am waiting

[nayak33]

please dont shift the goal posts. i am not painting ghana as perfect and deal with issues and lies you raised. yes there are hospitals that are understaffed, there is brain drain etc but you judge a govt not only from heights achieved but depths from which it started. I think you should go through our discourse and link what you have been saying to this video. this video is vile misrepresentation of what is on the ground.NHS is about accessibility to health services which in 2000 was cash &carry

[Kalydosos]

I think the video is good thanks, the US is building a $400 billion military base in Ghana there must be billions of barrels of oil. Britain and now China have also become very interested in west Africa I think Ghanaians should prepare for whats coming, and don't forget. If things get to tough in Ghana you won't be welcome in England or anywhere in Europe Senegals fishing industry has been decimated. Look at them risking life to get to the Canaries.

[fantibird]

I think he's done okay-but please... he couldn't have done any better in the 80s and 90s .If this is the man the NPP dressed with so many appelations...oh well...we'll have a next election...and I hear he's bringing his lil bro to succeed .Hey...he's...at least handsome than the HIPC he sent us into.

[tinawura]

asshole. whatever u say about our president is directed to your own father and mother u stupid, your father failed to give u the least wisdom he had, u are a disgrace to your family, to yourself, children if u have any, and all your love ones, idiot, u are only jealous and envious of the man jake because your stupid father could not attain the positon shame,

[fantibird]

Ignorance...ignorance, take it easy.

[seekingjah]

I can understand the back and forth argument about this president! Anytime you see an African President shaking hands with Bush and Blair something is wrong they have sold out somewhere America and England is going to profit and the Ghanians will pay the price ing the future.

[mistonfilston]

you are a retard for posting this video.Since kuffour's tenior political and economic stability has greatly incresed, thus insuring more foreign direct investment, ok so this calls into question long term ties with private hedge-funds etc...but essentially state of inertia is broken, guess you wouldnt know anything about that would you?idiot

[Ashantequeen]

How dare you talk so horrible about our president. YOu should be ashamed of yourself. I bet you liked JJ Rawlings, the mass murderer better, right? Asshole!

[deshar]

I am no fun of Rawlings, but Kufour is even worse. He is a total mess. We dont even have regular power, what a dumbass he is. I bet you would have even done better as a prsident.

[zibzabzang]

hey thats my uncle ur talkin about!!!!!!!

[2fresh4dell]

well you had power to post this...

[deshar]

He would soon be kicked out. He is the worst and dumbest president we've ever had.

[Ashantequeen]

How dare you talk so horrible about our president. YOu should be ashamed of yourself. I bet you liked JJ Rawlings, the mass murderer better, right? Asshole!

[peasah2005]

We are entitle to say like it is.

I don't like Rawlings, but I can't stand the NPP neither because in fact it was the NPP before it was called that where the ones who brought down of our hero, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.

I know Rawlings is a criminal, but Kufuor ain't no darling of Ghana neither.

[peasah2005]

@Ashantequeen

It is truth!

Kufuor isn't the best President of Ghana, because before him there was one who cared about us and that's Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.

[kalel21j]

one word for this....BULLSHIT

[nonew3]

I am trying to learn African politics, actually.

[2fresh4dell]

this is just politics being played... ignore this propaganda..

[nonew3]

I am in the US, learning beginning Twi and about Ghana. Love this video. Please tell me more!

[MentalMindFork]
