Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents
I know most of you have been wondering why I didn?t attend the National Economic Dialogue, which took place in Accra last week. Well, I simply didn?t want to attend another economic talkshop where experts only delight in talking about microeconomics, macro indicators, economic stability, inflation, deflation, interest rates, gross domestic product and all the other fancy economic terms which mean very little or nothing at all to me and the ordinary people of Sikaman.

I have noticed that discussions on economic matters tend to get me so utterly confused, creating so much turmoil in my mind inducing my skull to quake. At each one of the ?economic dialogues? we have organized since I came to sit on the Black Star Stool, the same economists have been talking about the same things, making the same recommendations and confusing the whole nation with their individual brands of economic gibberish. Moreover, those so-called economic experts tend to use the ?dialogue? as an arena to exhibit their academic brilliance ? trying to outwit each other and show me that they have the best solutions to our economic problems.
