BBC interview with Former Ghana President John Kufuor

[nbe2du]

i agree with kufour but i don't agree with his comments on AID rather than trade. I think ghanaians should start learning how to be innovative and stand their own. There is the need for Ghanaians to learn more trade and how to do so efficiently.

I'm sorry to say but ghana was one of the pioneers to have gained independence in Africa but look at where they are position in the economy at the moment.

i am sorry Kufour.

[kamikazee100]

Africa's problems are largely due to Africans. If Africans are exploited by other non-Africans, whose fault is it? Why are Africa acting so naively as to be easily exploited by others?

[Azzaiel]

it's ironic you use the word naive, truly.

[teacherofculture]

that's a good point. it's our nature to trust and love

[rdokoye]

...and why can't they show anything positive, like the development or the fact that Africa is currently the fastest growing continent now.

[AfricansArise]

Great points. On the issue of European tampering with our internal affairs, that gives me an idea for a video. I hope I'll be able to follow through with this idea. I just wanted to say it out loud to increase the pressure on me to get it done!

Peace

[Azzaiel]

lol get it done !! we are all waiting hahaha (no pressure)

[AfricansArise]

Lol! Good stuff!

[Azzaiel]

@AfricansArise annoying when outsiders come to africa telling them what to do and what they said. I'm not hearing modern ghanians blaming the west for their woes they are building and investing it's just gonna take time for the country to get to the next level. His wife was also at it at oxford yesterday sometimes these americans can be so condsending there are sucessful bp in england who could give the same message to those girls why do we need them to come over here telling US what to do?

[rdokoye]

Europeans are obsessed with this bad governance rubbish, like the western world was built on good governance.

They like to pass all the ills off as bad governance in order to cover up all the problems they've caused on the continent, like assassinating presidents, sponsoring conflicts, destabilising countries etc...

Let's not kid ourselves and act like African People are intentionally making them self's poor.
