AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

BEFORE BIRTH,ONE IS GEOGRAPHICALLY DESIGNED:
THAT MEANS,YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH,NATIONALITY,ETHNICITY,RACE/CLAN,GENDER AND WHERE YOU WERE BORN WERE ALL ORDAINED/DESIGNED BY GOD.
I AM IN CANADA NOW,BUT I DON'T BELONG HERE.I STILL FEEL AND CLAMOUR TO LIVE IN GHANA.I AM PREPARING TO COME HOME.
I CAN ASSURE YOU:
THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME,WHERE YOUR PLACENTA WAS BURRIED.
EACH AND EVERYONE WAS GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSIGNED.THIS MEANS:
THERE IS A PLACE,A CITY,A LOCATION GOD WANTS YOU TO BE.CHECK PSALMS 1:1-3.IT ENDS IN THIS STATEMENT:
HE IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED THE RIVERS OF WATER,ITS LEAVES DO NOT WITHER,AND WHATEVER HE DOES PROSPERS.
THERE IS A LOCATION GOEGRAPHICALLY EACH AND EVERYONE IS NEEDED:
THERE,IS WHERE HIS GIFTS,TALENTS AND ABILITIES WOULD BE NEEDED,CELEBRATED AND TEREFORE REWARDED(PAID).
IN THE BIBLE,ELIJAH WAS INSTRUCTED BY GOD TO HIDE AT THE EAST END OF THE BROOK CHERITH,WHERE RAVENS WOULD FEED HIM.HE OBEYED GOD AND IT HAPPENED,IN THE PHASE OF THE ACCUTE FAMINE AT THAT PRESENT TIME.
THE BROOK GOT DRIED UP,AND GOD,ONCE MORE,INSTRUCTED HIM TO GO TO ZAREPHATH,WHERE A WIDOW WOULD ALSO FEED HIM.HE OBEYED ALSO.
BOTH THE RAVENS AND THE WIDOW,WERE IN SPECIFIC GOEGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS,WHERE ELIJAH HAD TO BE PRESENT TO RECEIVE THE BADLY NEEDED LOGISTICS,FOR HIS SUSTENANCE.ELSE,HE MIGHT HAVE ALSO DIES LIKE THE OTHER ISRAELITES.
EACH INSTRUCTION FROM GOD,LINKS US TO OUR ASSIGNMENT ON EARTH.WE MUST RATHER BE SENSITIVE TO HIS NUDGES/HINTS/DIRECTIVES/INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO US:A STILL SMALL VOICE.
SO,WE DON'T GO WRONG ESPECIALLY,IN ADVERSARIAL CONDITIONS,LIKE GHANAIANS ARE IN NOW.
THIS IS THE WISDOM OF GOD TO ALL GHANIANS.
A WORD TO THE WISE,IS ENOUGH.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL,
IN JESUS' NAME!

Asanka, a nation gets the leaders it deserves. We hate ourselves as a people so much that we choose our leaders out of hatred for one another. Just this afternoon as I drove past Kejetia, I saw many Ghanaians, young and old, lying on street pavements with head pans beside them and imagined what all those monies shared among these greedy bastards could do for them.

I wondered how any serious-minded person and a poor country like Ghana consider voting for a party like NDC, that was saddled with so much corruption? Can you imagine this pathetic drama happening in the west?

Only today I read in the news that former Italy PM has been convicted of paying for sex with a minor. Do you see this happening in Ghana? The answer is a big NO because Ghanaians have made our leaders what they are and they will continue to punish us for our foolishness. Some pathetic soul cannot afford one square meal a day, yet he glorifies the politician who has contributed to making his life a miserable one.

God save Ghana.

A TRUE HONOURABLE MAN WILL RESIGN WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED BY CLAMOURS FOR HIS RESIGNATION.

People like Ebo Barton who do not see resignation as best course of action to save face for a man of principle and honour when it is blatantly clear to all and sundry that he is tainted by the perception that he was a member of the looting brigade that ripped the country off through woyomisation, watervillisaton and isotofonisation process.

It is obvious that these people do not have any moral principles and therefore see the need to remain in office despite being implicated with the looting brigade. What a shame. It looks to me that Ghana may be better served with people like maame Donkor of 2012 elections fame.

This is the type of headlines among many, that becomes cannon fodder for some disgruntled military officers to stage a coup. This is the kind of impunity and abuse of power that is so insulting to the soul of the nation and since Ghanaians are cowards to hit the streets and protest for change like in Brazil, Ukraine, Russia, Egypt, Lybia, the placcid attitudes of the suffering population will encourage some crazy power hungry junior officer to stage a coup; the senior officers are too comfortable to be bothered.

IT IS A BLOODY INSULT TO GHANAIANS FOR MAHAMA AND ND TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING TAKING GHANAIANS FOR IDIOTS WHO CAN BE FOOLED ALL THE TIME. THEY HAVE EXHAUSTED OUR PATIENCE. HOW DO YOU APPOINT THE DEVIL TO DEAL WITH EVIL WHEN HE IS THE CHIEF EVIL DOER??

Fellow Ghanaians, I think the time has come for a "Swift Revolution", a big 'revolt' to clean up the mess. Most of the people at the "house" are not supposed to be there. Those who condoned and connived with companies to dupe the nation are now members of a committee to give recommendation on "judgement debts"? Ghana is has now passed where "Sodom & Gommorah" got to when God burned both cities. All the fire outbreaks are the works of GOD and not human.

It is funny how the Ghanaian political leadership reacts to thorny issues affecting the state. Do you remember how they created "Causing financial loss to the state"? What is the result to day? Those who were convicted and imprisoned have become the topmost leaders of the nation after pardon. One became an ambassador and another is challenging the validity of the case of the petitioners of the 2012 General Elections in the Supreme Court. We just make mockery of ourselves! WE are not proactive but reactive to issues. Even then we dont go by the full rigors of the law. There is no we Ghana can move forward with this kind and type of leadership.

A in Cape coast woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.
The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, “Dark in here.”
The man says, “Yes, it is.”
Boy – “I have a football.”
Man – “That’s nice.”
Boy – “Want to buy it?”
Man – “No, thanks.”
Boy – “My dad’s outside.”
Man – “OK, how much?”
Boy – “$250?
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.
Boy – “Dark in here.”
Man – “Yes, it is”.
Boy – “I have a football Goal keeper glove.” The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, “How much?”
Boy – “$750?.
Man – “Sold.”
A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your foot ball glove, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.
The boy says, “I can’t, I sold my football and my glove.”
The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?”
Boy -”$1,000.”
The father says, “That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, “Dark in here.”
The priest says, “Don’t start that shit again, you’re in my closet now.

Ghana is really a joke. How can parliament appoint the Godfather of judgment debts - Ebo Barton Oduro, to a committee tasked with drafting a report that seeks to plug the loopholes in the very act, for which he should be prosecuted for? Do we think he would make it a point to ensure that the very points for which he stands to be prosecuted would be included in the report?
We have never been serious as a country and it's telling on the way the turns are done in the country and the very direction, in which the country is headed - deep unending pit.
