...IT IS CLEAR THE GREEDY CORRUPT NDC BASTARDS AND CRIMINAL AFARI GYAN'S EC RIGGED THE ELECTION, HOWEVER, MANY VOTERS WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL NDC DWARFS. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MARCHAVELIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

Why do you see it this way? Could you please tell us your reason to learn something from you?!

Mahama is not a good one as he has rigged the election. His placement of three other ministers surrounding the president shows.

This guy is going to share the ressources among the NDC pupil to remain in power.

No education on the mass side of the civilians.

This guy talk like he has sent 2000 Ghanaian soldiers to Mali. 120 soldiers is not boost for Mali.

Wait and see!

Kojo, many people are finding it difficult to analyse the Malian situation. Yes Africa must unite but is it possible in our present situation?
Nobody would want a civil or religious war in one's country but if a section or group in a country feels marginalized and neglected, they easily fall prey to religious fanatics and colonial powers.
The Mali nomads of the North were very much neglected in terms of economic development and were never given a fair share in political appointments. They were treated as second class citizens. Let us not forget that we have similar problems in Ghana where the Nortern part had been neglected in terms of developments by various governments.Even the supposed developments taking place there is nothing to write home about. No wonder they are flocking to the south for jobs that are not available.
With time, many people in the world are becoming awakened and becoming more concious of their situation. So, these nomads and religious zealot could easily team up to fight the government.
There cannot be unity where some peolple like Mugabe has been on the throne since the time of Adam, when some political parties declare a one party state and people have no legal means of changing government,where there is so much official corruption and the poor continue to languish in poverty, Where there is no tranparency in election. For example, General Erskine did not score even a point at a place where he voted for himself as presidential candidate. What about the recent elections in Ghana where NPP is accusing NDC of electoral fraud and have gone to the extent of petitioning to the Supreme Court. Look at the case of Togo, as if the presidency is for a dynasty.
These are some of the issues that the AU should also address if Africa can move foward.

In the recent elections deemed free, fair and transparent by international observers will not have occured as the other states in the Federation will have prevailed on the losing party to concede

Isn't it amazing that the AU beffittingly has an imposing statue of the Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah at the heart of its headquarters? This is a man who tirelessly fought (with our money ) for African liberation and whose statues and writings were gotten rid of in Ghana (until Rawlings' government built his museum and Moseleum in Accra).

How true is the saying that only posterity is the true judge of a person's stature and true worth. Let us learn to respect and value our leaders whilst they are alive, just to make life a little better for them as they do the difficult job of running the country.

I am really disappointed with some of your comments Akadu. When I read your opinion piece last week, I thought you were really genuine and a one-nation balanced individual. I am sorry to say you betray a tribalistic streak and partisan intolerance that is completely contrary to the respect I had for you. I am sorry to say i am really disappointed.

I took you for someone else, very decent and genuine. Please do us a favour and post more balanced and relevant items to the topic under discussion or else you are no different from all the bigots out there that you and I have sought to condemn.

The instability that is surreptitiously but surely impacting Africa's future is definitely climate change and variability, and not the dire situations that persist in Somalia, Eastern DRC, neither is it the menace of Al Qaida in Maghreb destabilizing the sub-region.

African leaders (Oh how I miss the Osagyefo!),
need to muster the political will and seize the moment to put mitigating and adaptive measures in place to deal with the hydra-headed impacts of climate change on our continent and its islands.

The problem of Africa is the marginalization of some groups, treating of some groups as second class citizens, oppression of political opponents and some leaders declaring one party states. Yes, Nkrumah did some good but his political alliance and making Ghana a one party state while declaring himself president for life was his Waterloo.

Frank, what I was driving at was Nkrumah's ability to summon the political will to seize the moment to confront the West when it comes to respecting Africa.

The West cannot go on pretending the reality of climate change does not exist:
Droughts forcing pastoralists to seek green pastures and water for their cattle.
Perennial flooding, rampant forest fire, rising sea level, increasing desertification, all because of climate change.

We need leaders who are not afraid to speak for Africa.

It is Akuffo-Addo who wants to be Ghana's Gbagbo. When the Electoral Commission declared Ouatarra as the winner, Gbagbo sent the issue to court for a reversal. When Ghana's EC declared Mahama the winner, who is sending the issue to court for a reversal? Akuffo-Addo of course. He is Ghana's Gbagbo but Ghana's SC will not make the mistake the Ivorian Court made. Akuffo Addo, Ghana's Gbagbo, should be careful because the world is watching him.

Those asking why John Mahama did not touch on dictatorship and electoral malpractices should stop worrying themselves. Many of these so-called African heads of state either came to power through connivance with their ECs or hanged on to power by corrupting the people who run the elections like what has happened in Ghana. So mahama could not have, on morale grounds touched on that issue.
That stupid Yayi Boni who can't resolve his country's (Benin) problems but knows how to meddle in others problems should keep shut. If he knows how to advice he go and advice the EU and co to stop cheating Africa.

To quote a Nigerian friend "everybody de cheat for elections - John Mahama alone cheat some wey hin ass hot"
