Thomas Mensah , An African Innovator

[@osodowilberforce2321]

Mr Makori,in future spare enough time when you schedule an interview with such an important person.We needed to hear more from this rare african personality.

[@helenamensah7274]

He lets a longer version- He abandoned his US daughter under the age 4 in 1985 and never financially supported me or even called or even attempted to contact me although he is a tech innovator and so pivotal in developing fiber optics that allows for such instant communication. He used his brilliant mind to evade not only Child Support Authorities, but most importantly his own daughter from being able to contact him. So I can truly say as his daughter he a brilliant scientist but is profoundly deficient in the genes 🧬 for true fatherhood, compassion and concern for me or his other US daughter that is younger than me. It’s quite evident because for all his interviews and fanfare he would never care if his 40 yr old daughter in the US lived or died. He is that selfish and self absorbed he doesn’t care. I’ve been a success despite his lack of being there and really only seeing from him once at 6 yrs old and literally three other times in my life. It would’ve made a difference in my life for him to care enough about someone other than himself and care about his own flesh and blood.

Wow am proud to be a Ghanaian

Proud Ghanaian 👍

[@davidagyei5181]

I hope President Nana Akufo Addo and his Vice Dr. Bawumia full of wisdom will accept this proposal and start building this bullet train immediately. This is one of the best ideas for Ghana and this idea will create job and put Ghana into manufacturing which will move Ghana to a different level. We thank Dr.Thomas Mensah for coming back to Ghana with his knowledge and wisdom to help the country. This will encourage other Ghanaians to come back home with their knowledge and wisdom to help the country as well

I hope he also made millions on his invention. We wish he’d have a statue in his honor .

Rest well Doc!

When your name is Mensah, you have to live up to it!

Please Dr. Can you translate some of the chemistry books to a Ghanian language

[@smilingblack4801]

God bless Ghana

[@charlesasare4324]

Good work

[@TKO67]

IS there a video on his contribution the fiber optic industry ?

[@Kung611]

Fantastic...

[@josephaddo4392]

Interview too short

[@joeb7640]

There was a lot more than 4 people involved in fiber optic development I dont know why he said it's just 4 guys. Modern fibre optics existed before he even was involved in the research.

[@kalestanforde]

Fibre optics existed, it was nothing new, but the problem was it was manufactured too slowly. He did a series of innovations that resulted in a production of 25 times faster than what they were capable at that time. Basically, if not for his innovations, we won't be talking here today until the next 100 years. He also worked at Bell laboratories from1986, where he led a program to develop the first laser guided weapons for the US Department of Defense guided missile program. This program enabled the development of missiles that travel at the speed of sound ( Mach 1)

[@BoringDad1272]

Another white man fighting so hard to deny others their achievements while having achieved nothing. Too late. He already got the recognition 😅

[@rockyah1804]

Bring those inventions to Africa bros we are here well educated but no job

[@morrisonjonathan4313]

Rock yah he is doing it gradually,right now, he has a huge 5 star hotel in Ghana which employs hundreds of people.

[@blessviku7945]

They have finished using him, there is nothing left that man oooooo.

[@BoringDad1272]

Go find a job yourself!😮

[@mrrightcasablanca586]

This man is moving from radio station to radio station, try to go and convince the Ghana goverment, I think only talking every day in TV stations is like meaninless

[@jamesasamoa9055]

Don't spew ignorance. He is already established in Ghana. He is in charge of high speed trains blueprints for Ghana.

[@claimattacol8525]

You call him “this man” just like that ! Do you really know him well google him before you talk nonsense

[@Nobleman99]

Whatever Casablanca that you are, cos me, I can't call you mr right who cares about what you think about the honourable inventor?

[@blessviku7945]

@@jamesasamoa9055 he is being honest, he is just a noise maker, I see him to be another version of Kofi wayo

[@cosmicthanos4977]

why isn't he the rich man in the world.

[@McAndess]

Cosmic Thanos there other rich not to be publicly known,have you head of the rochelds in america

[@dannykujo4043]

you always think about money, but don't think of solving problems of humanity. Great people think of solving problems of society but not their pocket.

[@morrisonjonathan4313]

Stupid illiterate, did Michael faraday who invented electricity dynamo the richest man in the world at that time? Did the Wright Brothers who invented an aeroplane the richest man in the world at that time?did George Stephenson who invented locomotive engines at that time was the richest man in the world?

[@josecharles3883]

Very interesting and media selective controlled positive in choices. Notice how things start out with good positive intentions until another man's evil and greed will take and use for personal activities against humanity. In fact, I had to do some research and found Dr.Thomas Owusu Mensah is one of four scientists who developed fiber optic technology. Good for my Information Technology Management report assignments.

[@ananekingsley2683]

because of his service to humanity. be careful what you say about selfless people
