the fact that President Mills went to the US for medical check up is a big debate in Ghana at the moment.a lot has been said,but I think he went to the US because he didn't want his medical record leaked,in an election yr.dont forget only few months ago former President Kuffour had a very successful delicate and complex spinal cord surgery carried out on him by Ghanaian doctors at the korle bu hospital in accra.surely that counts for something especially in a country like nigeria where leaders run off to foreign lands to treat coughs,colds,stomach ache etc [jquote author=kutchs]Why cant the Goddamn prof face wotz happening in juhis country?

It is just unfortunate that the cluelessness of Jonathan made the man talked with anger. If you are sharing other people's money (nigerian masses money) with them in abuja, you will see this as a threat to your source of income. That said, when Jona feels we amount to nothing as citizen, probably voices from without will make him reason. Thanks. |

Why has this become a Nigeria vs Ghana issue? Though a Ghanaian, Ayittey belongs to the Free Africa Organization, an Africa Watchdog organization so to speak. I guess this gives him the obligation to talk about issues accross Africa. I hope those Nigerians who can't take it because Goodluck is their tribesman would discuss the points Prof Ayittey raised on merit and stop insulting Ghana. Looks like many of us can't use simple reasoning in anything. Are we doomed as Africans? |

Is President Mills a better president than Jonathan? Of course a million times yes.Tell me,if in country A every single vote counts and country B elections are rigged,violence-prone n stolen,which of these 2 countries will produce a better leader.In my opinion,the worst Ghanaian leader will be better than the 'best' nigerian leader,simply because the president is elected by millions while the president of nigeria is elected by a cabal. Mills is an internationally respected professor of law,not a half-baked phd holder in zoology!Even your president knows he's nowhere near President Mills when it comes to evaluating their academic profile or goggle the profile of the 2 put it on nl for all to see. Stop blabbing like an ediot. Yeah....this skunk is on the loose....and running wild!!! |

Kobojunkie: It's amazing that after almost everyone has left this topic and stopped viewing it, you would come in here to post this nonsense just to have the last word as if you didn't already get proven completely wrong. It's already been explained to you that GEJ interpreted the interviewer's use of the word "declare" in the absolutely correct manner - making a public revelation of one's assets declaration to the CCB just as Yar'Adua did - but that neither you nor the "eminent" professor from Ghana were able to understand something so simple and instead started going on about imaginary constitutional violations that never happened. The fact that you can't get exactly why and how you were wrong into your peanut sized brain doesn't change reality. Now scram. 1 Like |

Well, some of you don't want to accept the truth because he is a Ghanaian lol. That guy is a world class Economist, he has being feature on TED-Global. A world class programme that has feature prominent people and has the view of people all around the world. He is an African, so he reserves the right to speak out to any corrupt leader on our continent. This is 21st century and the world is a competitive world. Black people will never gain respect in this world not until we build up our messed up society just like in ancient times; So instead of criticizing him, why not research what he has said or are our leaders doing it right.. Nigerians, we are coward and na so so mouth we get.. nothing!... 'Action speaks louder than words'... Coward. |

There is no comparison btw Nigeria and Ghana - Naija is bigger in evrything. So we have about 5 airports and you have much more, so what.Nigeria is a bigger economy. I Concede this prof should have choosen his words better.Ghanaians being the "dirtiest people on the face" smacks of the usual Niaja arrogance, and dishonesty. Why the vitriol against this prof just because he is Ghanaian? I still young ohh - is it the Busia expulsion act that started this hatred? In Ghana i see confident Nigerians moving about freely in whatever business they are into; i doubt is vice versa in Niaja. This view of the criminal,dishonest,arrogant Nigerian wasn't started in Ghana ohh. Again why the hatred. I have alway admired Naija - Soyinka, Achebe, " Cock crows at dawn" etc...Enterprising people, but "one needs to look in mirror at oneself and come to the realisation...." Peace in Africa.

This Prof nah the real deal. Humble and grounded enough to take time out to reflect on the contributions of his detractors and what have you His approach is refreshing and at once reminiscent of Walter Rodney's - see(How Europe underdeveloped Africa Or Groundings with my brothers) The shame is on parochial Nairalanders who have chosen to situate his earlier observations within the cesspit of fair-weather micro-Nationalism “To my Nigerian followers. I appreciate all your wonderful comments, including the negative ones, regarding my write-up on GEJ. It will be impossible to respond to all individually; hence, this generic response.Source Ride on, Prof. Nothing do you at all |

I have always admired Nigerians in the past — resilient people, bustling with energy, dynamism and entrepreneurship. You will still find these admirable traits in some spots such as Onitsha Market. But the Nigerians of today are of a different stock – broken spirits, battered souls and trapped in cocoons of fear, mistrust and despair. Decades of reckless misrule and total government dysfunction have corroded the fabric of Nigerian character and society. When trapped in such a mess or maze, it is difficult to see the way out. When you engage a Nigerian in a conversation, the first thing s/he wants to know is which tribe or religion do you belong to? It never used to be like this. Shame on all these tribalists on NL. 1 Like |

maasoap: He didn't call Jona a madman. He only quoted our constitution, and our constitution has been there before GEJ. But wait, when a leader, a president becomes kind of GEJ, what do you really call them. He shouldn't have gone to school at all. And to think of it that this man will be there for the next 3 years. Mehn, I don die. He did insinuate that GEJ is of a lunatic and used a passage of the constitution to hinge his encouragement for Nigerians to have him removed outside of the electoral process. Professor Ayittey said........... They should check Chapter VI of their Constitution. See Sections 143 and 144 about removing the President and Vice-President from office other than through elections. 137; 1c: “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if under the law in any part of Nigeria, he is adjudged to be a lunatic or otherwise declared to be of unsound mind.” http:///MSxUws ” If you look up the definition of lunatic it actually means a mad man, does it not? If you agree with him, fine, but don't try to suggest he did not say or suggest that GEJ, our president is mad.....whether he quoted the constitution or not. Besides the inappropriate language of his piece, as an academic, I expected him to actually do his own research first on the issue of tackling Boko Haram, what GEJ's administration is doing in regards to agriculture and also the railways. I agree that GEJ did not come across well.... that is an example of his poor communication skills and his inability to clearly and adequately explain what is transpiring within his administration. He simply should have gone into much greater detail. For example.....if Ayittey would have looked further beyond GEJ's "giving out seeds" comment he would have understood the steps he is taking in agriculture. GEJ did not give a fitting account in the chat, but what is happening on the ground seems to be more then that comment suggests......much more. Just as I would research and gather relevant information before making such a damning commentary of not just his chat, but also his administration. Ayittey, as a respected scholar with many under his voice, should have done the same. If he had, he would have been able to distinguish between GEJ's inability to explain in detail, and his administration's performance in certain areas of the economy. Come to think of it, as someone who professes to hold the issues of Africa dear.....he should already be aware of what GEJ is currently doing with respect to his road maps and current stages of implimentation implementation. He should also do some research on the Boko Haram issue.....he will then understand the solution is not a simple one, without starting a civil war in Nigeria. It is not enough to simply be a critic and not seek the information which may be out there before, forming your analysis of a government. |

How is Ayittey the "real deal"? Name one thing he's done that's actually had a substantial positive impact - just one thing - and I don't mean talking and talking and talking or founding organizations through which he can do more talking or working for a racist right wing American think tank (the Heritage Foundation). And claiming he's humble is ridiculous and just downright false - there exists direct written evidence to the contrary. The man is a consummate dunce dressed up in fancy clothing and I'm surprised people can't see through him. |

Suddenly, they hve gone to generate a Ghanian professor to come and give a disjointed analyses of that interesting Media chat. Who interviewed this professor? Who made him world's foremost economist? I will not be surprised if this man was cloned by SAHARAREPORTERS or Kobojunkie to lend credibility to their falsehood. Let me assume that the man exist and face the issues raised. 1. He acted in ignorance when he said the president didn't declare his assets. The president indeed declared his assets but it was not made public. Even if you doubt it, the assets declaration that he did as Vp under Yaradua still subsists as he has not left office since then. So why the noise over assets declaration? 2. It is an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians for the so called Ayitteh to label our President as insane and with unsound mind. Who adjudged Jonathan as having unsound mind? Did Ayitteh evaluate a medical report to that effect? How did he arrive at this weighty derogatory statement against a PHD holder? Who is Ayitteh to tell us we voted an insane President? please there must be an end to useless propaganda. 3. The so called Ayitteh questioned why GEJ has not fixed Maidugri airport for his usage. I want to ask, has Ghana even fixed the airport at Accra talkless of the one in hinterland? Is it Not the airport where a cargo aircraft crashed due to water logged runway. Meanwhile, Gej is carrying out massive reconstruction of airports across the country. He is doing in less than one year what many of his predecessors could not do all thru their tenure. Go to Abuja airport, the domestic wing has been closed down for intensive renovation. New car parks are being built. At the international wing, the runways are being built and the entire airport infrastructure is being rebuilt. Similar projects are going on simultaneously in Enugu, Lagos, etc 4. He said GEJ's Agric revolution is only restricted to distribution of palm seedlings. What an affront on truth. Even a toddler in Nigeria has come to know about the cassava revolution and fertilizer distribution reforms scheme. 5. Thankfully, the fake prof accepted the massive construction of rail lines across the country but only faulted the projects on account of what he described as non inclusion of Nigerians in the contract. Who told him? And since when has a Ghanian assumed the role of our local content enforcement officer? 6. He ended up betraying his true identity as an interested party when he said the president needed to consult the university authority and students body before renaming Unilag. What a joke! [size=8pt]which kind of a sentimental disease are u? Stil denying the said professor and denying the fact that GEJ is a mess to this country...Dats why Nigeria will neva move forward with people like u,unpatriotic,defenseless and unreasonable.We need a sound leader from any part of the country so far we will see the change we need and we must be patriotic ready to make the change.supporting the best governor in Nigeria baba FASHOLA FOR 2015. |

Minex007: He declared the assets as a VP and not as a president, He could at least continue with the tradition of YarAdua and declare his asset now and make his VP do same, also, if he declare and not made public, that is still useless to the people, cos we have no idea what is there and if altered no way for us to know . . . Also, if he declared and now says on Nation Television that he is against it, then, there is a problem somewhere. |

Just wondering, can't people criticize or attack issues without insults? If u hate GEJ so much, pack ur luggages and move to Ghana or wait till 2015 and vote him out. The professor only makes the loudest noise and he's empty himsef. Going through his records, he has never contributed anything positive or negative except destructive criticism to African countries. GEJ says junks and does rubbish but he was voted; if the organization Mr prof owns is allowed to vote, he sure won't win the leadership position even if he rigged it. They said he's a renowned economist, does economist attack people? Why didn't he x-ray our economy and proffer solutions rather than insult people. You'll be remembered for what you have done. GEJ will always be remembered as the President of the most populous black country and mr. Prof will b remembered as a talkative that never have anything good to say for the organization he founded will b burried with him. I hate GEJ but for heaven's sake let's call a spade a spade, the guy aint doing nothing good and I doubt if anything good will come out of him but he didn't create the problems-he inherited most of them. I expect someone like Mr. Prof to proffer suggestions that could be helpful and maybe somehow mr president will implement some, instead, he disrespected an entire country, how can anything that ever comes out of him ever be good? And as for those screaming GEJ is a fool, he's dumb, he's this and he's that; what are u going to do about it? Please gather all you have and move to Ghana or shut up and wait till u can vote him out. It is well reported and no one yet disputes it that a country of blind men is governed by one eye man, if GEJ is a retard, a fool and all that, then what are we? If GEJ is a lunatic, what are Nigerians? |
