France with its stooges led by Ivory Coast president hijacked the Eco. This is senseless and desperate. Why simply change the name of an existing francophone currency to Eco when the regulation in place says Eco should be an independent currency. Meaning it's supposed to have no ties with any other pre-existing currency.

I can see the handwriting of Britain on the wall on this. That Britain has told it’s former colonies behind door that adoption of eco is a ploy by the French to control the economies of all its former colonies plus the British former colonies. The French and British have always been at each other’s neck since the beginning of history

History has it that Guinea was one of the two Francophone countries that refused to be subjugated by France while working toward their independence. The refused to the "slave" agreement France proposed to them and in annoyance before France left Guinea they destroyed the few things they built during colonial years including pouring concrete into the public water pipes. So, Guinea is a french speaking country with balls. They do not align with France or other francophone countries that seem not to have any balls.

Read the abstract of this research article that says Guinea was the only francophone country to reject colonial imposition prior to independence.

Ghana is very naive. Why say you will join Eco knowing the politics behind sudden adoption by Franciphone without respecting previous agreement. And now they say they are rejecting it.

another fake news by these zoo country to massage their poverty capital of the world ego if they even have one.Ghana never joined any meeting anywhere. Our finance ministers and central bank governor are all in Ghana working around the clock to continue to put the nation forward as the best running economy in West Africa and you're quoting Ghana here.

Can't your 200 million depressed people do without Ghana cos Ghana has already started her official stance to accept the ECO when a central bank is built to manage the currency.

Fyi Guinea is not an English speaking nation .Maybe the Ghanaian ambassador to Nigeria attended which makes this fake meeting and news a joke.Think about your poverty and leave Ghana alone and out of your mouth.
Tw.at. Majority of you Ghanaians think you are big, but in the grand scheme of things you are just ants.

Y'all just keep hoping that Nigeria does not really unite and achieves it potential. Because the day that will happen the rest of Africa will marvel. And then tw.ats like you will realise your country is just a small fish trying to survive in a large pond.

our politicians are good at mind games, we are trying to work as a unit with ivory coast in the cocoa industry not wise to behave like the nigerian govt. We rejected it in a nice way, if you read the letter you see that in the beginning we applauded the idea but at the end we made it clear we are not happy it is pegged with euro.

Ghana has always been a leader, that is what they are and that is what the record shows.

There is nothing you can do about it, Biko.
