This is what happens when you have a lot of useless heads thinking and making decisions concerning your future.... Was there any e-levy when the former president, the late FLT. LT. J.J Rawlings evacuated Ghanaians from Nigeria? Or you guys have forgotten the "Ghana must go"

Gertrude Mercy Addico mentioned:

Please stop polluting the minds of people, remember Ghana as a country don't produce anything only buying and selling, how can you meet the needs of the nation if we can not do anything on our own!! even countries that are able to produce things on their own are not getting it easy, so just imagine Ghana without production...
