The problem is not simply having debt.

Who you owe, how much it costs, and the terms of repayment, that’s what matters.

I have seen what politics has done to professors, and I pity mere mortals.

[n o r m e s h i e @lexekpe]

It takes 10years of committment to a goal.

Are you willing?

[n o r m e s h i e @lexekpe]

The journalists I grew up listening to made current affairs worth paying attention to. They did not allow politicians to get away with vague claims or uninformed speculation. If you were appearing on Komla Dumor’s show, you had to come prepared.

These days, many current affairs programmes have been reduced to tabloid-style discussion.

Politicians should educate cocoa farmers about the economics of cocoa. It’s in their own political interest to do so.

Most cocoa farmers in Ghana understand how the cocoa system works, including the fact that COCOBOD does not buy cocoa beans directly from them.

A significant portion of the value of a chocolate bar comes from R&D and marketing rather than from the raw cocoa beans themselves. Farmers typically capture less than 10% of the total retail value.

Impressionable people need protection, not shame.

Would you pay 60% upfront for a product you’ll likely resell at a loss?

Were cocoa farmers better off under the syndicated loan financing model?

This government has demonstrated the fiscal discipline needed to responsibly manage liquid funds.

Things are rarely as they appear. Take time to read before putting your ignorance on display.

[n o r m e s h i e @lexekpe]

imagine a country where the government is willing to absorb carefully managed business losses to protect citizens and maintain social stability.

I’m beginning to understand why the economy turned out the way it did under the NPP.

[n o r m e s h i e @lexekpe]

A president’s retirement benefits should depend on how well they managed the economy while in office.

I hope this was included in the review.

People don’t always hire lawyers to prove their innocence. Sometimes, they do so to ensure the process is fair and justice is properly observed.

Tipper trucks that carry sand without properly covering their loads should not be allowed on tarred roads. The danger posed by spilled sand especially to motorcyclists is obvious. This is a preventable risk and it must be addressed through enforcement.

Has a formal extradition request for Ken Ofori-Atta been submitted to the U.S. by the Attorney General?
