They give the money to Woyome instead so they can fund their campaigns. Talk about "Made in Ghana" promotion not going anywhere. Without incentives how do you compete?

Every issue in Ghana is woven in a political fabric. This is the bane of Ghana's underdevelopment.
Why should everybody depend on the government for SELF-DEVELOPMENT? If a research institution finds it technologically viable,what prevents it from patenting the "Discovery" and selling it abroad?

Create jobs my ass. This is one way these foolish companies always use to rip of Africans. If you want someone to come from a thousand miles away to built 6 different cars for sale on your backside, what will you do when the sales slow down and he decides to move? Yes, 1000s will be on the streets weeping. Why can't we build our own cars here, no matter how bad it is? We already have very knowledgeable people here in Ghana.

Ask your father if you have any, how he helped your backward country of foolish people who only think of themselves than other but you call your selves a christian nation

Nana,
Ghanaian culture today makes people like him perhaps paranoid, especially after being beaten down for so long.
In 2005 or so I offered to help Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, also an inventor in Ghana who has gained more publicity than anyone else and yet he never responded to my calls and messages. I have more than 30 years in Engineering and Manufacturing and could have helped him. It is almost 10 years since he bragged he was going to produce cars in Ghana and he had no clue what it takes to enter into large scale manufacturing, duplicating other peoples inventions for parts of his cars! No clue!
Our culture never taught us how to work together and hence the white man always beats us with their understanding of collaboration, formation of corporations, raising capital through venture capital, bonds and stock market, etc.
The second aspect is of course the braggadocio part,, but then if this man is well educated he should understand some of what we are saying here. Governments can help, as Japan and Singapore did, and China did. However in the long run is private capital that works best!

Yet in 2012 I was still exposed to the problems about how the Government didn't help him, I mean Apostle Safo.

In fact I couldn't meet the man himself. One of his "lieutenants" expressed his disappointments for the lack of support. I was to go with him to have a glimpse of what it all entails about the factory and the numerous products they said they were manufacturing but pondering over things, I thought there was something wrong about the tale.

I believe he could have had support the way they said their inventions were.

Banks and Entrepreneurs are investing their money where they will get the fastest returns - lending to the koto-be-ton industry who go to China and buy goods for the Ghana market. Soe Banks like UT Bank can get 87-100% or more profit doing that.
So why anybody lend money for real estate? Published Interest rates for
long term real estate are around 29% but then for Trading the Banks can get 80-100% or more.
Until loan sharking laws are made, that problem of entrepreneurship capital funding will never come to pass in Ghana.

"Do you know how bloody hard it is to open up the legs of a frozen chicken?"

INVENTING SOMETHING TO OPEN THE LEGS OF THE CHICKEN WILL HAVE MADE HIM FAMOUS.HUMANS LOVE SEX AND HE SHOULD INVENT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO VIAGARA.

ITS GREAT TO KNOW HOW SOME GHANAIANS HAVE DILIGENTLY INVENTED THINGS LIKE THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT IN GHANA'S AFRICA EVERYONE WAITS UPON GOVERNMENT TO COME AND KNOCK AT THEIR DOOR AND GIVE THEM MONEY TO ADVANCE THEIR PRODUCT.
SADLY GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT MANDATED TO GIVE ASSISTANCE TO INVENTORS. THE BEST WAY FORWARD IS TO TAKE YOUR INVENTIONS TO COMPANIES AND TELL THEM YOUR PROPOSALS AND WHY YOU THINK ITS NEEDED, MARKETABLE AND THEREFORE PROFITABLE.
THE COMPANIES, ONCE CONVINCED THAT YOUR INVENTION IS NEEDED AND WILL ONLY HELP SOCIETY BUT ALSO PROFITABLE WILL OFFER YOU THE MONEY TO GO ON A LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION AND SELL.
SITTING IN YOUR BEDROOM AND CRYING, WAITING TO DIE WONT HELP. MANY HAVE DIED WITHOUT SEEING THEIR DREAMS REALIZED. GET OUT AND GO LOOK FOR COMPANIES!

The developed countries are what they are today because of money thrown into research and inventions by the government. Have you heard of the Internet? How do you think the project was funded? Have you heard of NIH, that is where a lot of medical research is done. Do you know how much the government throws into research for space explorations etc. Sure, endowments at the universities, and private investments play some role but trust me the bulk of the money is from government. Without government incentives, policies, and money a country perishes.

Do you remember how Obama got into trouble with Solyndra, the government gave half-billion-dollar loan to the California solar energy firm Solyndra which did not live up to expectations. They had to restructure the loan down the line. This is done both at the state and federal level all the time. Do you know how much the government pumps into universities for research and inventions.

This story sounds familiar, and it's worrying. I think the best approach by Mr. Karikari will be to approach rich and enterprising business people, not the government, even though going to the government would seem the most obvious. From medicine to technology, we've always had local inventors badly disappointed by the lack of interest from those who could take the inventions further. But, Mr Karikari, make sure you write all your processes down, very clearly, for posterity.
God bless you and your efforts.
