America wants to set up a military base in Ghana. Is Ghana entering into a dangerous territory or would this benefit Ghana, Nigeria and all Africa. Personally i think it would be good for Africa in the sense that we could benefit in terms of the roads and hospital, schools and the Us companies that would outsource to Africa. Others believe that America military base in Ghana is bad for Ghana, Nigeria and Africa. They believe that this another form of imperialism, and soon we will be fighting for another freedom. Tell me your opinion of this matter. is Ghana and Africa making a mistake?

well, they obviously need a military base in west Africa for whatever reason.

They asked Nigeria a couple of times and were politely refused.


So they went to Ghana, if one is to believe the original post.

if Ghana decides to allow a US military base on her territory, there's really little anyone can do.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it unless there's something else I'm not seeing here.

stop bitching and whining.

the people of kuwait could give a shit about an american millitary base.

imperialism my azz.

[size=15pt]Africom to take over Africa  [/size]

How many of us in Africa know that the US government is planing to take over Africa's wealth and remove by any means all who oppose or don't oppose to get at what ever they think they should have? While every one is glad to see a person of color in the white house (Barack Obama) this is a great deception as part of the plan to continue to go under cover of so-called help to Africa by U.S. military forces to take oil and any thing else without the people of the land receiving anything but death for their land. The code name is "Africom"!  This should be our major concern, there is nothing more pressing at this point in time of our collective history. Don't let yourself and other family members be hoodwinked into continuing to fight a War that is not ours as we have been doing for the past 500 years, helping a enemy destroy what is our own. In 2005 the European Union met in Geneva and decided that they must kill off 300 Million souls or people.  Just who do you think they are talking about??  Meany will perish opposing Africom and other diabolical plans that have been made in secret.

Horus is this egyptian for dumbass or something? Which African nation is the model for serving the national interest of its people? Which African nation isn't being run by multinationals? Take Omar Bongo for instance. This guy was an unapologetic lapdog of France. What about our own Nigeria, do not the oil companies have undue influence over the government? Please, don't let your tinfoil hat crumble or America might broadcast brain melting waves to kill you. Africa has never been free, so what if Africom comes into being. there are command bases in Germany, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and even Cuba, are these countries being ruled over by the Americans? NO! Hell, this base might even further strengthen the democratic institutions of Ghana if indeed that is where it is planted.

A military base would not be a bad idea in Nigeria. . . . it would make them idiots think twice before plotting military coups. . .

But why do you think that i hate America?

that na palava for us taliban can infiltrate

Why do the Americans feel the need to have bases in other countries?

Why do they need to set up base in GHANA?

What is their exact mortive and why GHANA in particular?

This is nonsense and it should be nipped in the bud immediate!

The African Union should tell GHANA in no uncertain terms that this is unacceptable!
