How could this fat pig be a role model for able bodied military men?
Ghanaians still do not understand the science of leadership.

pepeni like all evil men in history is saying its God who gave him victory , hitler , stalin and all the intrinsically evil men including satan also claimed the same. pepeni has put only his own muslim pepefuo in charge of all key aspects of the nation and their main agenda is to recolonize the Akans so we are his slaves and servants . he has deceitfully used and abused the so called democratic process to achieve this. he is not interested in the welfare of the majority but to push into further poverty and misery the great nations of Akan so that his dimwitted pepeni idiots can handle things easier. today we are now in a feudal middle ages mentality era with no water , electricity or decent wages . any Akan who wishes to do anything good for his own people is frustrated bullied and mobbed by the state and called the worst of names if not thrown outright in jail or killed. championing his cause are the ayigbe who have mastered the art of the hatred of the Akans and together with the agenda of hegemony and chauvinism succeeded in making the lives of most Akans unbearable . let them know God is on our side and we shall win our freedom sooner than they think, long live the republic of Akan

He is among those who buried 7 cows alive to kill Nana Addo. All those people are going to die one after the other. He has started. They will soon bring his body for burial.

It is sad that just very few of the people are enjoying the wealth of Ghana.Why can't government improve hospitals in the country for every citizen to benefit from. It is a disgrace on the part of the ruling government to fly a politician abroad for medical issues whilst the poor Ghanaian is left at the mercy of God to live when he or she has serious illness.Narrow minded so called politicians are in office to be served and enjoy those benefits.

I wrote sometime ago that this man is sick just by looking at his eyes and weight and how he moves and some Northerners were all over me telling me he is healthier than me.

A school mate of mine had the same features like this man who used to comment in the forum and died about two years ago. You are right, this man has to do something about his weight.

My friend PAPA JONAS died young because of his uncontrollable weight.

It is very sad that African die of curable and preventable illnesses and poor environmental issues yet the "leadership" and the followers are both so stupid that they relegate these issues to the background.
We just worship people in "leadership" we don't complain or hold the to account. It is like us collecting all our monies and given it to the so-called leaders to spend while we cheer them on.
Why should the Minister of defence be sent abroad when he is sick when the average Ghanaian does not even get access to proper medical care in Ghana?
What has he been doing specially besides only the title? In a well managed and organised societies, it is the military which spearheads most of the innovations and inventions we take for granted.
Mahama and his government and "leadership" is so nepotic and too ethnocentric. Mandzalor!!!

Ghanaians would like to know how much it cost the state for the treatment of the NPP ex-Finance Minister and others? Stop the foolish act, please.
By the way is his illness acute. Otherwise how could a bedridden person bed active at work until the last 2 weeks or so? This is the low standard/quality of journalism in Ghana. Ghanaian journalist including the media houses need good training to bring their levels of proficiency in writing, English Language and professional journalism to at least a good standard. What a shame!!!!.

Mandel ruled for just 1 term after spending almost 30 years in jail. All that our leader seek is POWER. Did Mandela come to Ghana for health care? Why is it that our politicians fly out when the have the slightest ailment? They know the don't treat our doctors well and starve our hospital with the necessary items to work with. Even our teaching hospital don't have basic items like gloves.

Our leaders go to hospital outside; expert come to remove victims when buildings collapse; expert come in when our markets are on fire; no money to build road; electricity irregular; drinking water not available yet we have enough to displace people at Weija; GET/Road funds is in arrears; no money for special school. What do our leaders do? If this is the type of independence we sought to get in 1957, then I wish we were still slaves. All our leaders are visionless and senseless.
