A fierce advocate of civil rights, President Akufo-Addo entered politics in protest to a series of human rights violations in Ghana. Elected to the Presidency as a champion of economic renewal, he has tackled corruption and overseen constitutional reform. His recent refusal to allow a US military base to be built on Ghanaian soil has been seen by many as a bold statement of national sovereignty.

We need 53 more presidents like him in Africa.
John Chidiebube Okpara There’s also Mr Mugufuli President of Tanzania, so we need 52 more of these two.
@@Sheba_316 there is also Kegame
we need 45 Presidents like this in America. Literate and able to avoid speaking publicly in a manner not dissimilar to someone who sustained a head injury.
@@porscheoscar what ? 🤣🤣
@@ibejibenson1783 I left the one critical word out. fixed. thanks.
p.s.
I met Kagame's son recently. the boy is a giant!
I’ve never trusted an African politician in my life, but this man talks sense. I have a serious amount of respect for him already, and can see him taking Ghana far.
I agree @JamesHumphrey
I love how you thought this was a compliment but is deeply rooted in racism. So your automatic reaction to an African leader is distrust? Is that the same attitude you adopt when you see a European leader? Get out here with your racism. Africa doesn’t have to prove itself to you or please you.
'never trusted a politician' works fine, no need for 'African politician'
@@Siyamthanda123 it's not racist in any sense. African leaders are known to be really corrupt, so it's only logical to doubt him at first.
@@Siyamthanda123 african here - africa does need to prove itself. African leaders do need to prove themselves. an African leader who is interest in serving his people instead of himself is the exception and not the norm
As an African American, I have so much respect for this elegant, intelligent, compassionate man!
It’s time to come home bro.
@@TheGoharr not yet, when all corruption ends and Africa unites and it is safe for them then yes
@@ayo123 Corruption will never end, but a united africa safe for every tribe would be a godsend to the continent and the world. Then we can finally see what the mother continent is truly capable of.
@@Panteni87 true
Same here it’s awesome to see a guy like him. I’ve been on a bit of a binge!
first 10 seconds when the interviewer was asking a question, the president didn't even seem like he was listening, but his brain was already 1 step ahead. brilliant mind
That is an enligtened President...sounds quite educated too. He talks facts and figures....not just political rhetoric as some do. Ghanians you are blessed!
He is a Wicked HYPOCRITE.

Your knowledge about governance especially in Africa is incomparable, Ghana is blessed to have you as our president now.
I'm personally going to be very upset with Ghanaians if they don't re-elect this intellectual visionary back for a second term.
Buckwheat don't waste your time waiting to be upset,be upset now because we are going to vote against him badly!............You don't know him n his fake party members so stop imagining things u have no idea about!
@@daddigodwill3137 whatever, I'm familiar with his party and I know his intentions very well...I also know that Ghanaians are very impatient and have expected him to completely transform the country in a span of about 2 months..mtchew
Buckwheat No one force him and his party to made fake promises when he knew Ghanaians believe in what they see not imaginations.............He is fake n a deceiver,he just lie n have his way into power!........Now we have 123 ministers who receives salary monthly with no work done!His size of government is overpopulated but production is less......... There is nothing vibrant with his words for him to be trusted!.......He is deceiving the world.
@@daddigodwill3137 l know you're from NDC ungrateful people nothing will precede you people NDC is the problem for Ghana
All I know of him is his speaking, and from that alone I can say he possesses real leadership potential.

"potential"??? the president? potential to be what? something meaningful to white people?
This is a dynamic and ambitious president who is trying his bed to develop Ghana, he must be supported in a big Way.
The Ghanaian president has such a relaxing voice-so easy to listen to. He’s a great speaker, so knowledgable and very inspiring.
Thanks for saying... so proud of him as well
What’s his relaxing of the voice got to do with fixing his country, it’s shambles!
Yes indeed
Thank God you are not a Ghanaian
I like this man. He’s a god sent to Africa. Indeed as said below, we need 53 like him in Africa. Always talks for his people!
God forgive u, for seeing satan's father as God sent.
Though, I’m not an npp sympathiser, I love the bravery of our president. Love u Sir
George, you’re a positive thinker.... my respect!
My respect. I wish we were all as positive minded as you
What a wonderful person!!! I am impressed. Just discovered him.
From a German the VERY VERY best wishes for Africa.
Visit Ghana one day, experience Ghana, be a partner of development. Ghanaians will never let you down.
Wenn man ihn lässt, wird er der Bevölkerung in Ghana und dem Land helfen.
@@profPuppe danke, aber er hat nur noch 3,5 Jahre im Amt
The ghanan president is incredibly smart. He is the type of politician that I respect. I wish the best of luck to Ghana from the US. 🇬🇭🇺🇸
What a great man! Highly intelligent. Africa has a bright future with such leaders.
This is absolutely why I respect this man!!! Omg he hit the nail on its head!!!! The biggest problem we have is the deficit of development of our human capital!!!
We have the youngest population in the world, we just need to match our skills to modern demand.
@@flourishomotola5306 His spirit reminds me of my Irish forefathers who set out a vision for the independence of Ireland, he truly wants to see hes nation rise. I wish Ghana and Africa well on this journey.
He likes English but non of those is true
What an inspirational president. I'm British but I'm so excited to see what happens to Ghana and Africa now. He makes me believe Africa will become a truly amazing continent in a few decades.
Africa will be great but without him, this interview was 5years ago, @Whoami691, come and take a look at the education system now under this same man who you vlaim is inspirational.
I am a Jamaican n this man make me feel so proud to be from African ancestors. Most Jamaicans are descendants of the Ghana. I pray god bless n keep this man safe bcuz the western world keeps killing every great black man that stand up for black people. We shall not let this man be a victim of that. Africa stand strong n help ur black people n don’t be puppets for the white men
I love how he talks to people like a caring grandfather with wisdom.
is actually the worst grandfather ever, he is wicked and heartless
Mr President, Sir!!! I am sold. This is the Africa we need. Thank you Mr President.
I love you Mr. President. We waited a long time for you and I am glad you didn't give up on your dream.
God bless President Nana Akufo Addo
God bless Republic of Ghana,
God bless Africa
This is the best Africans president ever.We need more presidents like him in Africa 🙏🏻
You're right.🙏💪✌️👍
Yes indeed
Looks like he is playing in the water for sure, we could do with more president's like him world wide. He is putting his people first. Wow XX what an incredible leap!
Tanzanian better as well
You must be forgetting Nkrumah. Also, Mandela, if his social policies hadn't been attacked by global finance (NY+London attacking the Rand).
May the MOST HIGH continue to BLESS and KEEP this wonderful man!!!
Every single time I hear him speak I realize something profound. Like the solving a puzzle.
Arguably Africa's most effective leader. 🇬🇭
Ever heard of Julius Malema ?
@@bahle3795 yeaa i love him, he lives in a mansion in Jhb, wife drives a porsche, him & his buddies looted a bank that kept the savings & pensions of poor people. young ppl are aspiring to be like him..going into politics is a sure fix way of getting rich
I actually have hope now. Sometimes I get angry by looking at people like Monbutu, Zuma, Kabila, Mugabe...
But there is actually an EDUCATED leader who cares for the economy and future development while still maintaining sustainability. My best wishes to the Ghana and its people. 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
He speaks so much like Awolowo. This man is so intelligent and eloquent.
That right dear. He is indeed blessed and well read!!
Figures on trade amongst ourselves- African countries was such an eye opener for me. I applaud Nana for shedding light on this.
Fake lawyer
@@victoriaamoabil8998 who is fake lawyer?
@@giftya1893 Ignore this vague comment. Racial supremacists have taken up a new tactic where they try to discredit someone's comment and opinion by saying something which does not make sense and forces people to try and argue over something stupid.
I can’t wait to see how he changes Ghana for the better. I also hope he becomes an inspiration for the other African countries. It’s time for them to start tapping into their potential and becoming a power house. ❤️❤️❤️
Statesman of the highest calibre!
Nana Akufo, Love this President! is Love for County and the “Ghanaian people” is refreshing for a Leader...If only the rest of the WORLD LEADERS could pull a page from this mans book the World would be in a much better place...The Ghanaian’s are very bless to have you...I’m a Jamaican-Canadian that truly admire and respect you...God bless you Mr. President
When you see a leader, you just know it. I appreciate you President Nana Akufo-Addo, we have a lot of great minds in Africa, but a lot of miss-representation of leaders. There will always be chaos when a less literate mind leads a country full of great minds yet fails to also surround himself with such.
God forgive you
I appreciate that he wears glasses that match his voice.....also seems very genuine.
Also matches his suit 😂😂😎😎
No matter how far u travel in life never forget ur roots never forget!!! Have traveled far in life faced hardships been through it but never forget my roots” am proudie beautiful Ghanaian!!! Planning to settle down in Ghana wen all my problems over n start earning huge money “ planning my holidays probably this year or next year will be in Ghana “ will booked in hotel 🏨 “ am so proud of my country “ I love my Africa people Ghana!!!! Proudie Ga baby!! 😍😍😍😍😍🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
It is so refreshing still having an african leader that can WOW a person!!!!
If my country can't accept me yet, I will go to Ghana and I'll go to Ghana and then go back once I have learnt some options to make changes. I have so much hope for them. May God keep this man, I really want to see him.
Great Statesman. Please do not give up on the novel ideals that you have not just for Ghana but for the whole of Africa.
*noble
Together we stand and together growth, as AFRICANS. In the glory of the most High God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, under the watchful eyes of our saviour, the Messiah.
I truly appreciate Nana’s insight into many of the problems we have because only by having this in his foresight can we begin to craft solutions to these problems. This should motivate citizens to come together and help the nation solve these problems instead of sitting on our hands waiting for the government to solve it for us...
This should be the attitude of African Leaders. God bless you H. E. Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo
Great man!! Great President!! Great thinker!! Ghanaians are utterly blessed to have him!!!!
Mr President you are too good God Bless
Apuuu
@@solomondanso1632 Why apuu
Nonsense
,what benefits has the nation receive from him since he became president?........ All what he does is talk talk with his fake free ShS...... He is as fake as nothing,he has employed his family members n friends into government to receive salary monthly for no work done........He is the worst president ever in history! Fake lifestyle!
Daddi Godwill some exaggeration with the worst president statement, other than that, I completely agree with you. He talks good with very small results
Well if you watching this now...just know the president finally addressed the cocoa issue.
Yh bro I'm so hyped
ì keep watching this over and over anytime he accomplishes something major in the beloved country of Ghana🇬🇭. God Bless you with more Life and strength Mr pres💪🏿
God forgive you
This gentleman is a visionary. I pray God's blessings upon him with long life and prosperity.
A very brilliant president. That's the leaders we really need in Africa. I'm a South African citizen with full support behind this Ghanaian president.
God forgive u
This President isn’t just talk talk. He was elected in 2017 with around ~55% Votes. He come from Center-Right party.
Is there one infrastructure that never fails it is roads. This president haven’t just started a new high way some place, he started a massive road infrastructure across the whole nation. That is not under planning, but is currently being buildt. He also have made multiple schools already. Electricity is free if you use less then X amouth a month, same with water. That will garantee the poor have access. The best thing is, He made a very advanced high tech Airport that is fast. Now, people will probably go to Ghana more often, as they turn into the most modern africa country.
Another thing is that Ghana was the first african country to join the Norwegian state-run course called oil for development (OfD). Here is a short copy and paste of what OfD is. «Oil and gas play an important role in an increasing number of developing countries, and has the potential to generate economic and social development. In several cases, however, it has proven difficult to translate the resource into improved welfare for citizens of those countries.
Norway continues to receive numerous requests from countries that wish to learn from our experience in petroleum management, which is why the Government of Norway initiated the Oil for Development (OfD) Programme in 2005.
Through the OfD Programme, Norway shares its experience from more than four decades of managing oil and gas resources. Some key characteristics of the Norwegian experience are:
strategic ownership by the state, strong and competent institutions
continual accumulation of technical knowledge, an advanced regulatory system with high respect for the environment, health and safety
the society’s determination to secure national control over petroleum resources»
Dont forget this, building of at least one factory in each of Ghana’s 216 districts. This president is great, and I hope he wins upcoming election. The countries growth with 6% and will continue in right directions.
God bless him greatly 🙏
Very informative, thanks for sharing, I’m beginning to like this president and I’m from the Philippines. May the Lord bless, guide, and give him wisdom in leading his nation to progress.
Su EM I’m from Norway, but stuck in Philippines :) Currently at Cebu City
Repz Sorry to hear that, I hope you’re okay where you’re staying and can go back safe as soon as flights are available. I live in Cebu City.
Any update of these ideas and progressive action? Its a year old now, having trouble finding more recent information
Very Intelligent Question from the PhD student in A.I
We are Blessed to have u...u are selfless n we are benefiting from that...Nana wo nkwa so🙏
This man is brilliant. We need more presidents like him. He speaks like someone who has the interest of his people ar heart.
The best president ever had in Ghana. More power to your elbows, His Excellency, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. 🙏❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥💪✌️👍
He is one of the most dedicated presidents amongst others with true and quality leadership. Always admire him during open presentation and discussion.
Ghana is now in the transitional stage however the nation is ambitious and is developing at a rapid pace
Great exchange & awesome dialogue--THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME VISION FOR THE FUTURE, MR. PRESIDENT!
Such a dignified and highly educated man ^_^
Quite intelligent and eloquent and committed to the progress of Ghana. Coming from someone who isn't Ghanaian, but loves the progress made by Ghana and Nana's administration.
Very well said!Riches of this country should benefit its own pocket not others! For the people!
Am happy for Ghanaian people to have this guy as their president 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I see Ghana going very far financially and technologically with him as the lead. Great job putting your people first
Africa must unite my people💚💛🧡
Nana we cherish you. You made us proud among our peers from other African countries here in USA.
This man is truly from God and blessed to Ghanaians and even Africa at large...may God bless him to achieve his dreams and goals
God forgive u
Twenty-five years ago Ghana and South Korea had similar GDP and problems. South Korea decided to radically improve the health and education of all of its citizens and create a new future that would allow it to develop new growth opportunities and compete globally. It has been successful and Ghana remained underdeveloped. Nana is meticulously following South Korea’s strategies, but in an African way, which I hope will be equally successful. Nana also wants to break free from the strong influence of France and now the EU who want Ghana to remain as a form of colony. Nana is so right on so many issues and must be strong, since France will try to maintain the status quo. Transparency with strong legal structures will help Ghana to succeed. Good luck...💪🐬
Firstly, Ghana was never a French colony. Secondly, South Korea had certain advantages: it has a single ethnic group, a single language, it was already literate, no serious religious divisions, no insane primitive superstitions (witches, albinos). Africa can only develop up to a limit if it does not eradicate its substantial cultural backwardness.
@@pneron2032 yea so nothing you said was true. But that's typical of whites. The national language in Ghana is twi, which is spoken at on all levels alongside english.
South korea "developed" because they decided to a US vassal state. Without the mass amount of money from the US, South Korea wouldn't be where it is today. On the other hand the CIA got Nkrumah out along with neighbors in other countries. So we have different situations but you managed to promote some idiotic stereotypes
@@pneron2032 also are you dumb or do you not realize that France is heavily involved into neighboring countries? Plotting coups and holding billions in foreign reserves hostage.
P Neron I never said Ghana was a French colony, rather it was treated as one by France then the EU. Also South Korea had serious issues with its population to solve and territorial neighbours like North Korea, China and Japan. The decisions its Govt made were further supported by its “We” culture as citizens recognised that the changes were necessary for its future well being. If it is to make the right changes Ghana must tackle its ‘bad’ traditions like witchcraft and support the rule of law. This will be tough, but necessary.
JCAC JCAC I’m not white and not racist...
Yeeeessssssss! Yes yes yes! Perfect solution. All people deserve education.
Sorry but chair was not comfortable
Damn i would trip on it what a shitty chair
😂😂😂
Oxford fucked up with that setup
Yes, it looks like the students built the stage themselves out of pallets. It didn't help that the president was sitting too far forward at times.
True
Protect this man at all cost. Don't let the western media demonize him for wanting what's good for the people
Hopefully they don't assassinate him and replace him with another US/European puppet to help exploit Africa.
Or Communist China for that matter. Remember Djibouti!
I am a Foundational Black American living in the U.S. and I love this President. He is focused on not allowing other nations to continue to take advantage of Ghana and its neighbors.
Brilliant Man, I have heard him speak many times. I pray for protection over him and I hope all the good he invasions for his country comes to pass.
Amen to that!
Thank god for this man and all he does much love and guidance from god to him and his family and his country.
Thanks a lot baba nana
i truly love the leadership and courage that is in this man's heart. Thinking highly about his people.
May Almighty protect you and bless you from in out President Nana Akufoc is the best Ghanaians we are lucky to have him we praying to the lord give him long life and healthy to be able to enjoy the good life he has given it to our home land 100 times more for Nana Akufoc Addo .
This man has the ear of the world
He's like the Jordan Peterson of politics, becaus basically, what he is saying is common sense, but it takes courage to express that kind of opinion today.
Ghanaians please for the sake of development and progress in everything in Ghana, try all that you can, to vote the Government of this truthful Son and Statesman of the great Country of Ghana again to continue what he has in mind for the next few years ahead.
God richly bless every body in Ghana.
God bless you Nana Addo and God bless Ghana 🙏🙏
This man gets it!
Africa we need such ambitious selfless leader .From Kenya, wish all the best to Ghana.
Well deserved engagement. Respect
Teach my brother!
Just come across this guy, hugely impressed. No left wing rhetoric which is poisoning civil discourse and progression in “developed” nations of the west. He knows how to move Ghana forward, seems like a brilliant man.
Oh my how I LOVE a man with INTELLIGENCE like his! All PRAISES to THE CREATOR for his MOTHER!✅💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🖤💚
GHANA ALL THE WAY BLESS
It’s time to wake up to help our politicians and entrepreneurs to boosting our cooperation with Ghana for participating to the support of the European dignity, together with our African citizens to drive the decrease of communities' poverty and despair
I endorse your comment John. Africa needs to move forward. Be own own Masters. An economic force to recon with.
His excellency ..Nana,,Addo show Big boy,,we Ghanians love you soooooo much..My President and Father of our great Country,,Thank you for the good work ..God Bless you.👏👏👏🌺🌻🌷😘
Finannly your country has a blessing of in this man as your president. I’m excitted to hear his priority of education for the people!plus I like his eyewear matches his cloths😃
his actions speak more than words.
Long live Mr. President
We're proud of you
You see, we are not all mouth and trousers.☝🏿🙏 To the God of Abraham, Isàac and Jacob, I give the glory via our saviour, the Messiah. Shalom my brothers and sisters.
It’s inspiring and refreshing to hear from such an intelligent, articulate and practical leader.... as an Australian I’m envious of Ghanaians for having a visionary leader with a plan in contrast our past few PMs have been disappointing 😒
Unfortunately Australia just uses its Cultural Whiteness to make its way.It should stop being so Xenophobic and realise that the rest of the world wants it to be fair to aborigines and oriental people.
Oh, that seat! Seems So uncomfortable
Nigerians are too busy looking forward to Biafra and oduduwa republics while Ghana is on the path of nation building
NIGERIA SHOULD LIVE BY THEIR NATIONAL MOTTO "UNITY AND PEACE". IF ALL NIGERIANS SUBSCRIBE, HONOUR AND LIVE PRACTICALLY BY THE NATION'S MOTTO, NIGERIA WILL RISE AND DEVELOP.
@ettekamba6969 What is ODUDUWA! An interesting name !!
I have tremendous respect for this man and I look forward to hearing about Ghanas progress the coming years!
class in a glass
Let's hope he can make Ghana great.
+19coyote80 is an american weaboo. go away.
Let's say Africa
19coyote80 he is making Ghana great already
Make Ghana great with corruption.
Trump should learn from this man .. look at the way this man speaks . RESPECT ✊🏾
Trump should just get out haha
Yet before Covid-19 the US had the largest economy in the world, lowest unemployment rate in 50 years thanks to Trump. It just proves how bad all other western politicians are when they sell out their own countries.

Finally an African President who is not in it for himself, but really serves the interest of his people..The Industriization and development of the continent is vitally important for their independence 🙏🙏🙏May God be with you Mr. President!!
I really appreciate God for giving the president of Ghana the opportunity to air out the challenges that Africa is facing because this is the real reason why Africa is still being backwards, in which Africa is one of the issues faced in Africa.
The Ghanaian president's English sounds better than that of the British PM!
NO DON'T DO HIM LIKE THIS 😆
Lol he had his education in the UK that's why
How observant. However, you're not stating anything, new!
We take education pretty seriously in Ghana. Boris doesn't even take words seriously.
God bless you papa
Good job African leaders 💕💪🏽😘time to start critically thinking. Africa is not poor ! Except poor in leadership skills. If African leaders thinking just like this, Africa will be on the top of the world. I am hopeful for this to happen in my life time 🙏🇪🇹🇪🇷🇬🇩
Ghanaians and other Africans nations should join and listen and adopt his ideas . He makes so much sense for his people.
