Hold on to your briefs. The thieves and armed robbers are contemplating as to who should be next. Yes the ashawos and the awoshias will be in line.

It seems there is a systematic plan by some Ghanaians to make the country ungovernable through strikes, armed violence and lies. Ben, there would be no coup by the armed forces and the Police.
Government must site up and take the threats seriously. Mahama must learn from Mali, where ATT government was removed by a mere captain. Mahama must focus on quality delivery on the energy, water, health, education, agriculture and transportation sectors.

You are very funny shamo. so there is no NDC pharmacist, teacher doctor or university teacher or university workwer. All these people are NPP men and women. What an insult to all these workers who are on strike. You look so cheap to propogate this theory that all the strikes are being stage managed by NPP. Why is it that NDC workers in these groups are also on strike. Do you get it ? Reason man reason and dont be shallow minded. Illeteracy is indeed a disease and NDC you claim is full of such people.

If your comment is true, then NPP is a strong force. It will also mean it has the backing of majority of Ghanaians and should rather be in government.

WHEN YOU BUST YOUR BEHIND TO WORK FOR THE PUBLIC SECTOR WITHOUT YOUR DUE SALARY AND/OR AMENITIES, THEN YOU SEE THE LIKES OF WOYOME AND ABLAKWA BECOME MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT BY MERELY STEALING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY, YOU TELL ME HOW PATRIOTIC YOU WOULD BE IN CARRYING OUT YOUR DUTIES.

DESPITE BORROWING GHC24 BILLION IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS, NO MAJOR PROJECTS ARE VISIBLE. YET NHIS PROVIDERS HAVE NOT BEEN PAID IN SIX MONTHS, TEACHERS AND OTHER CIVIL SERVANTS' SALARIES ARE NOT BEING PAID. BUT THEY HAVE MONEY TO BUY CARS AND LAPTOPS FOR FEMALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. HOW WOULD YOU ACCEPT IT IF YOU WERE TOLD THERE IS NO MONEY TO PAY YOU?

A young man goes into a drugstore to buy condoms. The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.
"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that. Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack." The young man makes his purchase and leaves.

Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents. He asks if he might give the blessing, and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes. The girl leans over and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person." He leans over to her and whispers, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist"
She also lean on her and said"He is on strike but my pussy is not on strike"

JOHN MAHAMA THE NON PERFORMING PRESIDENT IS PAID 12,000.00 NEW GHANA CEDIS PER MONTH, TAX FREE, PLUS BENEFITS. HE IS COLLECTING THIS IN ADDITION TO MILLIONS HE MADE FROM THE STX DEAL AND THE EMBRAER AIRCRAFT DEAL. WOYOME COLECTED GH/CEDIS 50 MILLION FOR NO WORK. THE WORKERS OF GHANA MUST BE PAID THEIR "KAKRAWA" TO MAKE THEM HAPPY TOO. IF STRIKES WILL FORCE THE AFRC/P/NDC GOVERNMENT TO SIT AND TAKE CARE OF THE POOR WORKERS IN GHANA, SO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghanaians is a poor country at least people should learn to sacrifice to one another. Besides those in the formal sectors are greedy and dont perform too yet they need fat salaries. Then what about those who are jobless.

Have you read about SADA and the guinea fowl project and their planting of trees. When there is such misuse of tax payers money, it is hard to see Ghana as a poor country. Recent events have clearly showed that grievances only get attention when people strike. Remeber the fat salries are being paid to MPs and government appointees so whay not the low end public worker.

Doctors and Pharmacists, a piece of advice. i believe lots of you are christians and moslems. Do you know why you are not satisfied no matter what you are paid and what government sweats to pay you?. The blood of the innocent people you kill are on your hands anytime you embark on these actions. Are you aware that even when something is due you, the mode of collecting it becomes a blessing or a curse? That is why you guys are not making it because you have continued to spill innocent blood in the name of selfish salary demands. i can assure you that even when the govt. gives you all that you want it will amount to zilch because the mode of acquisition is wrong.

Thank you Dadabot, that's a good one. When professionals want to go on strike for a genuine cause, I think it's in the right direction. These politicians have cheated the ordinary Ghanaian for a very long time. Imagine the fat salaries they are taking. This is what we should talk about. Their job is suppose to be sacrificial, to serve the people. If I have my way, those MPs or whatever they call themselves we receive at most 2,000 Gh cedis.If they need cars and houses, they can take a loan to do so. The way the country is run must change. Actually, it is the professionals who are serving the country, not these rotten, money seeking, selfish and greedy politicians. The professionals deserve better, the average Ghanaian have to live a decent live, good drinking water, bettter education, good and better equipped hospitals, high quality drugs, not the substandard ones. I can go on and on... we need selfless and sympathetic leaders who care about the people.
