Foreign Affairs / Re: Ghana To Deport Illegal Immigrants by Africason(m): 2:47pm On May 21, 2012 |
Chanchit:Cherrs for the acknowledgement. Let me tell u one thing though. Ghana gained independence in 1957, and i will admit from that time till Sept. 1961, the British officers were still manning those top military positions. Read this snippet: General H. T. Alexander, the British Chief of Ghana's Defense Staff from 1960 to September 1961, relates in his memoirs that Nkrumah - like Sekou Touré, Modibo Keita, and more recently Julius Nyerere - came to believe that the armed forces owed loyalty to the party as well as to the state, because the party was equivalent to the state. Alexander had argued against this thesis, successfully it seems, but after his dismissal and the assumption of command positions by Ghanaian officers, Nkrumah was inclined to attempt to tie the Army more closely to the regime . Can Read more here http://home.comcast.net/~amaah/writings/ghana-without-nkrumah-men-in-charge.html That tells u that @ least from 1962, Ghanaian officers were manning those positions and the first attempted coup was made on Nkrumah. Another snippet: From 1957 to 1961, there were no difficulties with civilian control of the military. British officers held the command positions, and the inculcation of British tradition forbidding military excursions into the civilian sphere proceeded without interference.Till 1961, British held those positions but after that time, those positions went to the Ghanaian officers and it must also be noted that those Ghanaian officers had already being to the Sandhurtsa and Dartmouths of this world. I am just a student of history in my idle time and I just don't attempt to throw dust unto people's eyes. I give praises when due. I give what belongs to Ceasar to Ceasar. If naija as the 12th largest producers of oil gets their priority right, they could rival the biggest economies in this world, but until that, they would be a green big chicken with mere potential. |

Chanchit:Here you go with Ojukwu being partly trained in Ghana as well : In 1957, again in an attempt to distance himself from his privileged upbringing, he joined the army. His father was so against this decision that he did not speak to his son for the next two and a half years. Meanwhile, the younger Odumegwu Ojukwu completed officer training in England at the Officer Cadet School at Eaton Hall and was commissioned a second lieutenant. After attending the Infantry School in Warminister, England, the Small Arms School in Hythe, England, and the Royal West African Frontier Force Training School in Teshie, Ghana, he returned to Nigeria in 1958 and was assigned to the Fifth Battalion in Kaduna. Obasanjo's Training: I had an admission to Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone. I had a scholarship to study geology in UCLA as a student from Non-Self-Governing territory and now, I had admission to go to Teshie in Ghana for military training as an army officer. What would I do? I thought that taking up the scholarship could be delayed. So, I wrote for it to be delayed for one year and then I went to the military training, which was for six months. My belief was that if the army did not work out, I would take up my scholarship with the UN. I went and the army thing worked out. After 22 weeks, we had an interview and I was selected and I became a soldier. It was when I got into the army that I developed the interest; it wasn't before joining them. Now General Yakubu Cinwa Gowon: In 1954, after passing an entrance examination, he attended several interviews before being sent to the Regular Officers Cadet School at Teshie in Ghana – along with Patrick Anwuna, Alexander Madiebo, Michael Okwechime and Arthur Unegbe. This was followed by a course at Eton Hall in Chester, UK, followed by formal cadet training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst (RMAS). He was a Cadet Sergeant at the RMAS and was commissioned 2/Lt in December 1956. It was at the RMAS that he acquired the nickname “Jack,” the closest sound to “Yakubu” his British instructors could think of. From: http://www.dawodu.com/omoigui39.htm Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle (rtd): After basic training at the ROSTS in Teshie, Ghana, he proceed to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst in the UK. He was commissioned 2/Lt on December 15, 1960. From: http://www.simplynigeria.com/content/nigerian-civil-war-owerri-1969-appendix Former Lt. Col. Alexander A. Madiebo: Biafran Major General Alexander A. Madiebo (rtd) joined the Nigerian Army on May 28th, 1954 after secondary education at the Government College, Umuahia. He attended the ROSTS in Teshie, Ghana, before proceeding to the Eaton Hall Officer Cadet School in Chester, England, after which he attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. From: http://www.simplynigeria.com/content/nigerian-civil-war-owerri-1969-appendix Now if you read this page http://www.simplynigeria.com/content/nigerian-civil-war-owerri-1969-appendix , you'll notice that many of your officers were partly trained in Accra - Ghana. I don't have time to dig all that up and i hate to dabble in these kind of things(shenanigans) but some ignorants have to be compelled to STFU for once! It's never nice to see these naija-ghana bickering but what i've realsied is that some naija folks always take things personal. They make things to look, every measures taken by the country ghana is all about them, which is wrong. They've come up with their regulations, who are u to tell them to stand down? I will say go Bleep yourself! 1 Like |

Chanchit:There goes that comples issues u have. Thinking someone is a lesser being? What a tool! The operative word there is "buy". Ghanaians buy 10% of their gas from naija and naija is compensated for that, thus Ghana can buy from a different country as well. That gas is not free. Is that a favour? Oh Lawd! |

Ghana counseled and reminded him about the dangers of the civil war knowing very well the consequences and the repercussions yet he broke that accord. Now you know why he flew to Ivory Coast instead of Ghana? Cos Ghanaman as I know is a forthright person... hospitable and true to his words but when u trample on his advise, don't expect him to pick you up when the chips are down.

All what u wrote are vituperations from a deranged sokoto goat. Now, I know some folks are stack ignorant and deluded. Delusions of grandeur? As i said earlier, you have potential, but potential is nothing until u start to make it work for u. Penultimately, Ghana have come up with their measures and it's not about naija alone. Those "illegals" involve loads of nationalities. Are some Nigerians the only illegal immigrants there? You think naija is relevant to ghana? Don't hype yourself mate. Its never about u. If you don't like their measures, dude, i guess u can take a hike. Go take some chill pill. And who says I am ghanaian living in Ghana? I have been there 4x as many times i have been in naija in my lifetime. A fool like u would always want others to believe some imagined hype about him. Go sit somewhere, mate! Well, if EVERYONE is welcomed in naija, guess what, Ghana have come up with their measures, if u don't like it, take the beat! Its their country and they run it as they see fit. You have a problem with that? I believe nobody is stopping the " illegals" from regularising their stay in Ghana. It's not about Naija alone... its about all other "illegals".

Mr Everest: what a ignorant writeup but allow me to educate u a bit, Japan u called small is actually d 10th most populous country in d world, football wz invented by d English bt modernized by d Brazilians. U said dat Ghana sent teachers to Nigeria in 1960, r u 4 real? FYI @ independence there were far more teachers in southern Nigeria than in G.C. During 0BJ's tenure, he gave Kufour a grant worth millions of dollars. Ghana shud b comparing itself wit fellow banana reps like Togo becouse d rest of west Africa put togrther is less than d population of Nigeria. D economy of Lagos state is far bigger than that of Ghana. Our politicians may b bad bt dat does nt mean our potential shud b disregarded.Such an ignorant folk from another planet. Who didn't know footy was invented by the English? Read the quote by Odegbami here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A31868887 and tell me he didn't admit to the fact that Ghana taught u the beautiful game. Now, I know some folks are stack ignorant and deluded. Delusion of grandeur? Your population being that of the number of the whole of west africa means nothing if u can not put it into good use.

I always laugh when i see naija folks trying to portray they are better than others. Listen, I am 50% Ghanaian, 25% Naija and 25% German and I have also associated with vast amount of folks from both countries and can thus deduce which ones are the realists. I belive when Ghana communicated that message, they were talking about illegal immigrants in general and not Naika folks alone but, lo, Naija folks would make it all about them. No surprise there at all. When a Ghanaian make a declaration, DO NOT doubt him, cos they most of the time have had back-up plan already. On the other hand, the average naija would beat his chest and run his mouth... I read some folks also quoting Ghana are ungrateful bunch. Seriously? Do they depend on naija to feed them? Now, thats funny! Again, where from that 'big brother' tag you guys normally throw around? Big brother in what? For the mere fact that naija is about 4x bigger than ghana or something else? Lol Other folks are also saying ghana should compare themselves to Enugu and all that. The question is why should they? on what basis? Ghana is a sovereign state that is about about 1/3 of naija with people who really PUT THOUGHTS into what they do and say. Their folks have superlative mindsets... If a Ghanaian would want to tell you to go Bleep yourself, he do so without mincing any words. Remember, all countries have illegal immigrants including the UK,China, Nigeria, USA etc. and Ghana have decided to act on that problem so be it. What is your beef there? Can someone please tell me what Ghana actually trade with Naija? As someone said, Ghana do not have businesses in Naija like the MTN's and co as SA have, so it would be difficult to force their hand. I believe they have human resources in Naija but Naija also have their there as well(a lot actually). Back to those calling Ghanaians ungrateful. It must be noted when Naija gained independence, Ghanaian teachers were recruited to Naija help out. The cocoa seed was imported from Ghana to Naija, football was exported to Naija(ask Odegbami) and a lot more...Well, i don't believe Ghanaians are targeting Nigerians and that directive was against all illegal immigrants. Anyone who has lived in Ghana and built his home and business there can regularise his stay i believe. Most Naijas should jump down from their high horses and smell the coffee and note that its not all about them! For the ignorants saying Ghana is a small country, NEWSFLASH, Japan is also a small country but they're the third largest economy in the world. NOTE: I don't mean Ghana's economy is great but what i am trying to say is that the size of country doesn't matter when that counrty is being judged. Currently, Ghana is being managed better than Naija. Naija with that enormous resource should take cue and if they do, they would be competing with the Chinas, Germans and Japans of this world! In the mean time, the average Ghanaman sets his priorities right and is more efficient and effective with no hype. He/She goes about doing his/her 'thing' coolly, yet so effective! 3 Likes |

Are some folks here that uninformed?! The guy was a star trader making billions for UBS hence his promotion/elevation to the status of directorship at UBS equity trading in such a short time. Kweku was on a six figure salary a year and much bigger bonuses whenever he makes £££ for UBS. To go rogue like that, a trader must have incurred some losses in one of his activities and probably tried to recoup that money lost with an amount that wasn't authorized by his superiors. Thus, he gambled on a market that wasn't favourable and came out bruised. I believe he had gone through the same episode before and probably came out fine with huge profits that covered those losses - a huge bonus earned there (a pat on the back). The boy is really exceptional at his job. A genius in fact! Normally, the managers would know whats up with your activities, look at the other side and reward you when you're successful. The problem arises when you hit a snag and big losses set in. You're then labelled 'rogue' for not seeking authorization before 'gambling' away such colossal amounts. Unlike, the other rogue traders, Kweku reported the losses incurred himself. He alerted his superiors himself and was subsequently arrested at his desk 3.30 am. He was still working when he was arrested, unlike the other rogue traders that went on the run. That means he had nothing to hide, so some folks here better ascertain or learn a thing or two about equity trading before spouting incomprehensible and ridiculous accusations. The guy never took money for himself! Could you imagine the deliberations and lobbying in the office before opting to hang him? They just want a fall guy. . . Maybe he will get some months for unauthorized trading(deemed fraud here). But hey, he could well be exonerated as well. |
