Mugabe Laughs At Ghana “they Are Still As Poor As In The 60s" by vccghana(m): 3:30pm On Dec 08, 2014
Zimbabwe President, Robert Mugabe has mocked Ghana’s development during a speech in which he was responding to his Vice President who had suggested Ghana is doing well.

Mugabe disagreed and said Ghana is still the same undeveloped state it was when he met his wife Sally in the 1960s.

“I have been to Ghana 1958 to 1960 and when you look at them now and compare their present situation to that which existed in the 1960s, no change.

“There might be more people yes, there may be one road from the airport which has been well done,” he said.

Mugabe took a swipe at Ebola ravaged West and North Africa where the countries were predominantly colonised by France, saying, it showed that Europe did not have Africa’s interests at heart.

“That’s about all, no change. There are still areas were not all children go to school, nyika dzakakura. Woti why? Because they have remained under the control of countries like France, European countries like that,” he said.

If not for the "urge" to say something on this man, he doesn't worth my response.
What do you expect from a "old" delusive man. I think they do say: as one gets Old, so does his ability to think and remember things. A man that Africa should has risen up against. He's no better than Muhammed Gadafi.

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, has
taken a swipe on Nigeria, labeling the country
and her citizens as corrupt. He made the remark
during his 90th birthday luncheon hosted by the
service chiefs and the public commission.
Mugabe said Zimbabweans are now almost
behaving like Nigerians who have to be corruptly
paid for every service.
“Are we now like Nigeria where you have to
reach your pocket to get anything done,” he
said. “You see we used to go to Nigeria and
every time we went there we had to carry extra
cash in our pockets to corruptly pay for
everything. You get into a plane in Nigeria and
you sit there and the crew keeps dilly dulling
without taking off as they wait for you to pay
them to fly the plane,” said the president
followed by a huge laugh from the delegates
attending his birthday bash.
The current corruption rankings in the world rank
Zimbabwe’s corruption a lot worse than Nigeria.
Nigeria is ranked 163 worst corrupt country in
the world while Zimbabwe is an embarrassing
170 third from the bottom.
The report was carried by Bulawayo24 News,
based in Zimbabwe.

And even if it does, so in your infinite wisdom, you think Nigeria's currency will ever be even 1/100th as bad as Zimbabwean currency?

On the contrary, I fully support what he said about GH! (although exaggerated he drives home a point). Which country has developed being a signatory to both IMF and WORLD BANK?

Look who is taking? If they are controlled by France, you send your Zimbabweans onto Chinese slavery. Every inch of Zimbabwe had been mortgaged to China through borrowing.
White people left a prosperous country for you, but now people uses wheel barrow to carry their cash when they travel miles to buy just a loaf of bread because a loaf is cost in millions in currency that is worthless and now you are mocking Ghana that gave you succour but also gave you their daughter who unfortunately you were cheating on while she was suffering from cancer with your now wife, who was a staff in your office then.
