Mahama, who are you trying to fool? You grew up in the same place and you know what's going on. Do you think you have the magic to change the people's attitude all at once. Hey listen, what these people need is continued education on violence and that could take years to achieve.

Hei Baka, one thing in life is people who use to promising and promising do not come with anything but craftly and selfishly work for their own betterment. This Ali Baba and his bandits are still on campaign trail. They are not governing. For how long has he been in this government and now disturbing our peace of mind that conflicts in Northern Region will come to an end? The conflicts in these areas will never come to an end as long as the world exits.

Why is it that all of a sudden, Ghanaians, especially those on the other side of the political divide ,ie, NPP have become so disrespectful to the President, his Ministers and other opinion leaders in this country. Is this the way to go? Is this the way to treat a noble President who has never opened his mouth in any negative manner? If Nana Addo in an unfathomable circumstance had won the 2012 election and had become the President, would it have been fine by these insulting miscreants? God save Ghana!!!

Yaw, it appears Mahama is probably not aware he has been sworn into office as the president of Ghana. Tell him the campaign time is over. He needs to start doing and stop telling us he will do. When is he going to do all the things he keeps saying he'll do? That is the concern of many of us, not that he is being disrespected. When he was campaigning, he told us "I will do this and that". Our understanding was that those will be done on assuming the presidency. Now he is the president. Must he keep telling us "I will do this and that" again?

Society, 56 years ago since we had self government and you are still saying Rome was not built in day. Can you boast of one thing which is outstanding in the country or any public services which is running efficiently in the country?

I do not know your age but frankly speaking, comparing this present time with mid 60's to late 80's the country had not made any meaningful stride in its development but rather fallen apart all because of incompetent and corrupt politicians. The country is blessed with all natural resources that it takes to elevate the country to a solid advancing country status like the (BRIC) Nations - Brazil, Russian, India and China.

WELL, JOHN MAHAMA IS A HOLDER OF DIPLOMA IN COMMUNICATION, HENCE THE MANY SPEECHES AND THE EMPTY PROMISES. HE IS PRACTISING WHAT HE STUDIED AND OBTAINED A DIPLOMA IN. HE IS COMMUNICATING. HE IS A COMMUNICATOR, NOT A DOER OR ACHIEVER OF PROGRESS. FOR MANY YEARS, HE WAS MP FOR A CONSTITUENCY IN THE NORTH AND FOR FOUR YEARS AS VICE PRESIDENT AND A NATIVE OF THE NORTH, HE DID NOTHING TO HELP BRING PEACE TO HIS OWN REGION. THE MAN IS JUST A COMMUNICATOR AND SO HE CAN ONLY TALK AND PROMISE AND NOTHING MORE AFTER TALKING.

Enough of "we'll do this", politicians. What has happened to "we've done this"?

Ghanaians have allowed themselves to be taken for granted by certain individuals who call themselves "politicians".

In Ghana, politicians who get paid better, are the ones that live off the poor: Free housing, free transportation, free petrol, free electricity, free water and even free phone. When they are ready, they raise the prices of those goods and services, because they get them free.

Politicians only come out to tell Ghanaians Ananse stories, yet Ghanaians have settled with this nonsense without questioning these so called politicians.

Open your EYES Ghanaians, and DEMAND accountability from those you've employed as politicians.

As liberal art graduate, a very important aspect of your life is your mode of communication. You don't issue absolute statement when you are less than 50% sure of your facts. Since the days of your ancient fathers, when was a pinch of your northern problems tackled and solved successfully? Don't forget the north is a miniature Zimbabwe of its own.

As the then Vice President who was the Chairman of the national security, what did you do to help your own violently lawless people to sort out their horrendous anger and ethnical differences that had taken a lot and lot of innocent lives with properties costing whoopy undisclosed amounts destroyed?

Ghana is tied of I will, I will and empty promises without any action seen being done. Wake up from your sleep and walk the talk including the collecting of our stolen monies from the arrogantly naughty NDC criminal financier, Woyome and fix the pathetic state of the national economy to create jobs for the youth.

Ghana under your leadership is like a dead country where nothing seems to work right.

I agree. People who're familiar with this field prefer to talk about conflict management rather than conflict resolution because of the unpredictable nature and deep-rootedness of most conflicts. You can promise to put in place mechanisms for managing conflicts but you can't guarantee/promise that they'll resolve conflicts. Promising to resolve ALL conflicts may be an overstatement.
