All of you dont seem to be able to read the signs of the times or connect the dotted line. Now that we have barely survived the chinese rape pepeni has sold the country through the racist American ambassador to GE to exploit us and put us back not decades like they did to nkrumah but centuries never to recover again. we are now slaves and beggars in our own country. the wealth of the nation especially that of the Akans will now be siphoned out by placing this impossible burden and other yokes on our backs just so 5000mw can be paid. they are not offering us sustainable growth like they did for their former enemies the germans and japanese but we who gave our best in Burma will now be humiliated and bossed around , exploited and broken till we are just thank God for air we may have to breath. our hearts will now be broken as we stand no chance against this evil . they tried to take our oil but mills and the ahvois stopped this now they take everything under the guise of bringing investors , where is our Hugo Chavez or Che Guevara now ? they were given the akosombo and alumina business so we could pay for our sustainable growth through the sale of 99.99% pure aluminum but in their hatred based on racism they gave us what was not sustainable and are the root cause of all our problems today . mills chose the chinese who gave us their scum and criminals but pepeni has linked up with the most toxic of multinationals , God is on our side and we will show them soon

Mr. President, we're tired of all this invisible projects. We're on a brink of bankruptcy and you can't even pay teachers and doctors. Where's this money for all these projects?

Mahama sometimes make useless decisions. Do we really need these THREE WISE MEN that we have to pay them big and with bonuses? What are they doing that the sector ministres or even the DCEs cannot? And then you tell us there is no money? Apart from bonuses, we have to pay for their accommodation, drivers, secutity, garden boys, and etc. Their positions and titles are just useless.

Mahama is fooling himself. He's behaving irrationally, to say the least. He's so far demonstrated lack of leadership by his unsound decisions. He MUST do Ghanaians a favour by throwing in the towel:Mahama ust resign!!!

What happened to the committee set up to investigate judgement debts? And now '3' or should i say '5 wise men'. It is abolutely unnecessary and a waste of Ghana's 'non-existent money in our coffers' on their salaries, allowances, fuel,rent etc. Another way of siphoning our money when public sector workers are struggling for their hard-earned money. What a shame, Mahama.

This Mahama is a joke. The gov't cannot even pay our doctors and teachers. Where will he find the money to construct 200 high schools and 10 regional hospitals?

Idiocy at the presidency?

You and former Nigerian President Obasanjo are into business. You think Ghana money is for stealing. Your strategic plans for the nation is not helpful at the moment. Did you really win the elections or it was stolen for you?

Mr. President I just changed my name because you've never listened to me when I called myself Worried Ghanaian. Maybe with this name change associated with you, I believe you may pay attention to some of my suggestions when you stop by here on Ghanaweb to find out what Ghanaians think about you. Now let's go straight to the point. My friend, what is really wrong with you? You have so many uncompleted projects in Ghana to take care of why you still put more pressure of yourself with all these appointments. Kuffour was travelling and you are just appointing. Wow!! Did they say your major was in communication? Why don't you find a job with one on these telephone service providers? You sound confused to me. You call these old crooks ‘the 3 wise men’? Did you convert from another religion to Christianity? The 3 wise men were not looters and greedy bastards (borrowed words from your own Party’s founder).They are more than 3 so just right click (pick) to rename them. I know u like to show off with your iPod /tablet so you know the basic commands. When I told my 12yr granddaughter you are the first Ghanaian president to go high tech she laughed so much like the tickle me Elmo. Any time she sees you on TV with your device she will say "grandpa here he comes again, wait till he flips open his Tablet" and once you do it for her she will burst out laughing. Actually, she wants to donate her Samsung Galaxy 10.1 to you in case you get problem with yours.LOL!!!. In the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is the King so You Go!!!! Mr. President, Show off with your gadget. Women love that show and that's your area of specialty and this is no secret. You know that. The charting, with you, could go on and on and on but Mr. President Wake up from your deep sleep and think wisely. Most Aplankes learn a lot from their bosses before they start driving. Those who steal their boss’s cars are the ones who always involve in fatal accidents. Be careful, sir and don’t ditch the Yuton Bus. Wake Up, Mr. President and WISE UP. Rescue the Economy and care for the dyeing.

What would have happened if it had been three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?
They would have asked directions,
arrived on time,
helped deliver the baby,
cleaned the stable,
made a casserole,
and brought practical gifts.

But what they would have said when they left...?
"Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that gown?"
"That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!"
"Virgin, my arse! I knew her in school!"
"Can you believe that they let all of those disgusting animals in the house?"
"I heard that Joseph isn't even working right now!"
"And that donkey that they are riding has seen better days too!"
"Want to bet on how long it will take until you get your casserole dish back?

I wonder if this thing think before he spew all these nonsense by saying they are in charge with superintending the construction of 200 SHS; 10 Regional Hospitals; A new International Airport and a New University in the Eastern Region in his first term in office. Yes you know very well that the country is broke yet you will solicit for loans and get your kick back. Oh Ali Baba, you have shown your true colours.

You call E.T. Mensah, Alban Bagbin and Cletus Avoka - 3 wise men. No doubt they all have some traits which is in your caliber.

I dont understand why Mahama has appointed these five men to the post of project ministers or directors to oversee the construction of hospitals,universities and a major airport just because they are party members and need to satisfy them ,the question is are qualified in project management or in building construction to manage the projects?and which companies will be selected to do these jobs? I think these men have expired outlived their usefulness and wish mahama to have appointed professional constructional engineer with qualification in project management to over see the implementation and execution of the task ahead to its successful completion.

smart move mr. president, these projects that you have earmarked will become your legacies and living monuments that the country will benefit from long long after you are no more the president. What you need to do ,Mr. president is to virtually sit on these men you have chosen and insist every material and every imputs should be 1st class. Are we not enjoying projects like Korle teaching hospital,Akosombo dam and other things like the jubilee house.What the country will not want you to do is try to build another jubilee house and share awards to yourseves made of real gold . if you govern well and you put the country and the people first you will win the next election . WILL YOU CONSIDER BUILDING A PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FOR THE COUNTRY and A NATIONAL HALL OF FAME for a country which does not honour its heroes and heroens is not worth dying for

WOW!!!What can I say. The comments here show how Ghanaians feel about this so called president. Has he ever sat down to think of how the ordinary Ghanaian survives? When other presidents are thinking of ways to create jobs for the their youth, this one is still recycling officials who have no good track records. In what countries do people go back ten to twenty years to recycle government officials whose records show incompetence and stealing. Please stop wasting the little money left and hire new and competent minds that have the nation's interest at heart.
Do you mean to tell Ghanaians that apart from these old empty crooks whom you collected from the garbage to recycle, there are no better substitutes? Spare the international embarrassment and don't forget the world is a global village now. You'll be surprised to find out how much foreigners know about you and the so called people you choose to work with. Investors are tired of throwing their money in the garbage and they're all wise now. Wake up and smell the coffee. Your wife is hosting market women and you are appointing their husbands to be your thieves. Bravo sir! Do you and your cohorts read anything at all? People in London are demonstrating and you are happy with E.T Mensah. Great!!Poor Ghana!! No wonder everybody is leaving with their skills to be slaves in other lands. It's still better than "home". How many skilled workers have gone to seek better lives in places like Chzech Republic due to the unappreciation they face in their own country? Give younger, fresher minds the chance to develop Ghana and stop the recycling. you're obviously doing no one good. Buying degrees and showing off gadgets are not the answers. Fix the problem so the people can pay taxes happily. What is their hard earned cedi doing for them? It goes to Lordina's wigs I guess. Those in abroad are fuming now and may stop their remittances. How then are you going to pay for the big buffets and lavish drinks? Be careful and please take time to read some of these sometimes hilarious but serious comments online. I have no political affiliation or tribal distinction, I just want my country to progress a little so the white man can see that real good governance can come from Africa. If we're a democracy, the let's please learn from the best by investing in people rather than unnecessary structures. P.V will surely bring you down. Et Mensah? really?!!! Come on we can do better than that. At least, retired headmasters can help Ghana out better than these. So long and God bless Ghana!!!

I had a serious issue with these 3 wise men concept but was willing to give the Prez the benefit of doubt since he was not going to be there for long. However, with this new addition of PV, I'm convinced this group is meant to fleece Ghana. Gracious me! PV again? Is he not the same person working on the oil and gas with Kwesi Botchwey?
