made at last Thursday\u2019s meeting. <\/p>\n<p>1. \u201cWe can no longer continue to make policies for ourselves in our country, our region or our continent on the basis of whatever support the Western world, or France or the European Union can give us, it will not work\u201d <\/p>\n<p>2. \u201cIt is not right for a country like Ghana, 60 years after independence to still have its health and education budget being financed on the basis of the generosity and charity of European tax payers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>3. \u201cBy now we should be able to finance our basic needs ourselves\u201d <\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cThe African continent should be giving money to other places.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>5. \u201cWe need to have a mindset that says, we can do it because others have done it\u201d <\/p>\n<p>6. \u201cOur perspective is not to be what the French tax payer decides to do with whatever services they have in France.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>7. \u201cThis continent with all that has happened is still today the repository of at least 30% of the most important minerals in the world\u201d <\/p>\n<p>8. \u201cAfrica is a continent of vast fertile land with the youngest population with energy and dynamism.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>9. \u201cWe want young Africans to stay in Africa.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>10. \u201cWe have to get away from this mindset of dependence, this mindset about \u2018what can France do for us?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>11. \u201cWe should be concerned with what we need to do in this 21st century to move Africa ahead from being cup in hand and begging for aid, charity and hand-outs.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>12. \u201cWe want to build a Ghana beyond aid, a Ghana which is independent, which is self sufficient and is capable of standing on its own feet and building its own life, we can do it if we have the correct mindset to do so\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer()
