Comment to: TRUE NKRUMAHISTS DONT BELIEVE IN IMF

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

Hi Open Source,

That is exactly the point! This woman believes in "Structural Adjustment", "deregulation" and a host of policies that make no difference whether she is African or European. So, what is the point that this group wants to make?

Africa is facing irreversible threats to our environment, food and water security. We even have Monsanto hiding behind Kofi Annan's AGRA, there is serious trouble going on in Somalia, Sudan, Mali, Central Africa, and deadly clashes are being reported in Libya between NTC militias, et etcetera, etcetera, and all they choose to care about is who goes to head the world Bank?

God have mercy!

Pur'gu Saape!
Secretary to The Odikro.

On Education, Is Akufo-Addo Doing A 419? Part One

On Education, Is Akufo-Addo Doing A 419? 

Part One

INTRODUCTION:
I listened to Nana Akufo-Addo, Ghana's 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, the NPP, talking hard on the BBC World Service radio, on his campaign promise of free secondary school education for all, and I was utterly disappointed. To be honest and frank about it, it even made me smell a very unusual rat. For the purposes of this article, the relevant part of the interview begins from the eighteenth minute into the conversation in the 24 minute interview he gave to HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur, on Monday, 5 March, 2012. It is the part that deals with his educational policy.

The reason why I paid attention to this part of the interview is because, like many Ghanaians, I am deeply troubled with the mess our educational system is in right now. Unfortunately, it was literally a mind-blowing experience! I have since been wondering if it was even a very good idea at all, to have listened him. This is because, I suspect, I have been traumatised by the experience.

For those of you who might be familiar with the symptoms, mine include an intrusive and repetitive need to wonder aloud as to whether or not Nana Akufo-Addo really thought he could get away with such a lugubrious drollery? You see, I have not been able to sleep properly after hearing what I heard! The only solution is to wonder aloud and clearly. But more of those later...

BBC's HARDtalk INTERVIEW: On Education:
First of all, I do not wish to prejudice the reader until the bare facts are clearly ascertained. I do encourage the readers to study first the interview for themselves, and form their own conclusions. I remain confident that most will agree with mine, stated below. You may listen to the relevant portion from the interview on BBC's HARDtalk: Nana Akufo Addo 05 Mar 12 from the 18.59th minute to 20.33. [1] I have also provided a transcript of the relevant portion to facilitate the analysis... READ MORE...
