MATHEW
         GHANA AND OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES MUST
LEARN HOW TO FLY ( EFFECTIVELY & EFFICIENTLY) .
ONE OF THE BELIEVES OF DOW THEORISTS IS THAT
TRANSPORTATION IS BACKBONE OF ANY ECONOMY.
SIMPLY PUT -----WE HAVE TO GET COCOA AND OTHER
RAW MATERIALS TO THE MARKET,WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BUY AND TRANSPORT LATEST
TOOLS
TO THE FARM etc----etc
         TOO BAD THAT THE MANAGEMENT CALLING FOR
PRAYERS FORGET THAT " HEAVENS HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVE".  THE YORUBAS
WILL SAY
"MAKOJA MI OLUGBALA----------"
                   THANKS

  Ghana has after all the past 15 or so years not leart its lesson yet. What
a disgrace? Before they start flying, they should first learn to walk. If
they instead concentrated on what they have plenty of, perhaps it would have
given them a different outcome.
  Rather than continue to consume resources in an airline that ought to be
ditched rather than make to kiss the sky, Ghana should be investing in and
working towards being the CHOCKLADE capital of the world.
  Chocklade eating is a multibillion dollar global industry, yet the two
countries that produce 99.9% of the cocoa used in making the product,Ghana
and Ivory Coast, hardly see a damn dime of cocoa money; and certainly not
the poor farmers who produce the cocoa.
  Ghanas other resource a reservoir of dynamic and highly educated people
once a becon of light for the entire black African continent,have siply
melted away; gone the way of ancient Rome and Greece.

  My suggestion is for Ghana to bring the "chocklade companies" to Ghana
rather than sending the cocoa to America,Europe,Asia and Australia. Make the
chocklade,send it out to the world and let the world enjoy.Besides this will
mean a boom industry for the hospitality industry as executives from around
the world fly in to Accra to do cocoa business.
