Akans what have we done to earn the envy and hate of these ewe cat eaters and pepeni dog eaters . they say we are supremacists , but yet call us stupid because we vote for them too. all our politicians and leaders are called weak , drug barons , wee smokers , homosexuals , nation wreckers , but yet theirs are the best because they rig elections , murder judges and Akan leaders at a drop of a hat . they say we are nation wreckers and have a secret conspiracy to rule all others but all theirs gang up together on one side against those who would want the Akans adequately represented . they wage a propaganda war against us and if we call foul they say we are troublesome and why do we dare want more. they play games to divide and rule but they stay on one side and they say they mean well. we are considered madmen for wanting a better Ghana, justice and freedom . all our people are considered corrupt and lack integrity so they put only their people in key positions and billions disappear but they are honest revolutionaries who the judge and jury and kill our people. why they want to remain in the same country with us beats me apart from the desire to continue to steal our wealth under the pretext that if we rule ourselves we will sell everything to the whiteman, after almost 600 years with the whiteman and them enjoying our hospitality and wealth we were forced to push them out and so we will we with these crooks . they force our people into poverty thinking that this will weaken us and our desire to fight back . if you marry a woman and you despise her so much that you insult her and maltreat her isnt it better you divorce ? why do you insist on Ghana when you dont believe in it , if you did you wouldnt be ganging up against the Akans

This teachers have been there since ever before independers. Other than strike nothing they have done successful. Then what is even their use at all? We know that, the work of good teachers in to help children become more attrctive to Education, but our own teachers are there doing nothing other than only reading news papers at school and even encourage the children to be come something else and useless in future. There is no wonder that, our leader involve corruption might have started from them due to lack of good attention to their student.

Surely John Mahama needs an intervention from God,may be that's why he fraudulently wanted to send some pastors to Israel.But can God save a criminal who hasn't repented from his sins.

Teachers in Ghana are being unrealistic. Promotions are done if there exist vacancies for progression,also it comes with additional expenditure for government. Teachers in other Africa countries eg Angola with all the resources would jump at the opportunities available in Ghana. They have to note that should promotion come at a later date it would still attract back pay.

The NPP is behind all these strikes.They are doing everything to bring Mahama's government down.Even i believe that the rapid deterioration in the supply of electricity is sabotage by NPP supporters in the energy sector.

Prof. Naana should check GES Directors at the national, regional and district offices properly. Some of them are intentionally refusing to sign such letters just to create problems. How can letters be lying in the in-box of the Directors awaiting a single signature for more than 4 weeks? Prof., wake up.

You guys are behaving like fools.
You just got big pay rise and now you are calling for promotion. I think it is time some of you get sacked and replaced by unemployed graduates.

There are teachers in schools which have consistently recorded 0% in all examinations and yet they have the guts to cry for higher salaries and promotions.Why have they not stated the other three reasons why they are embarking on the strke.Promotions are mainly administrative issues.Parents should rise up for the interests of their wards who are going to be the worst affected in this sensless strike.

Let me say that if that is it then they have failed because the Prez will do what he has to do and nobody can twist his arms. Selfish selfseekers. These teachers have they asked themselves why people are sending their wards outside for education? You are always asking for better conditions but your performance is zilch

Do we have human beings with heads well fixed to their bodies or just monsters in government wrecking our lives in Ghana? aabaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ghana, where did we went wrong to merit all these baboons running in the corridors of power as politician?

I won't be too surprise to wake up one of these days to see the military taken control as the despicable social economic and political situation makes coup inevitable right here in Ghana.
