two things k4 and cash have in common are their extremely close ties with the ndc and now we hear of nana's dead in the night meeting with pepeni before to verdict to get paid or compensated , at least thats what the ndc are claiming . we are tired of leaders who betray our confidence and lack integrity . our people are suffering because of corruption and back door dealings , personally i am sure most would prefer characters like ken agyapong and sir john as flag-bearers as at least with them you know what you get. smooth talking double crossing backstabbing diplomats or sophisticated businessmen who cant talk the language of the masses and are cowards at heart are not needed . if one wants to be president one must know one must also be a commander in chief ready for war and if necessary fight from the bush . we dont need any weaklings hiding behind impressive cvs of service to useless institutions and ideologies that have never benefited anyone but themselves . k4 double-crossed the fantis who first supported prof eduboahen and now brings in another fool to try and force all Akans to serve manhyia which is the essence of the division orchestrated from the mind of prof awonoor in order to secure the lack of unity among the Akans . k4 continue this nonsense and we shall separate your head from your shoulders

Campaigns for 20i6 started even before the EC declared the results in Dec. 2012. Thus, the petition as you rightly albeit lately pointed out was to prevent party members from conducting postmortem as to why the party lost. Surely, nAna and his executive team were sure to be blamed. The petition shielded them and even 'popularized' them as the most senseless people to have even reasoned that mere duplicate serial numbers on two uniquely identifiable result sheets could lead to massive vote annulment.

The respect Nana Addo has earn for himself from around the globe should be enough for him to retire to the backstage and offer his wise counseling to the NPP and Ghana as a whole.
For me he is the most experienced politician in Ghana at the moment but it appears people hate his personality, both within the NPP and the NDC, as has been demonstrated by Kwame Pianim, W Brobbey, Nyaho, Arthur Kennedy, the top guns in the NDC and the entire communication directorate of the NDC. Going forward, what I expect from the Npp in the next party congress, is that they must try to look for somebody not necessarily competent but likeable across board, very presentable, winnable and attractive to Ghanaian women. I suggest so because most Ghanaians don't base their selection of a president on objectivity but on mere pettiness and frivolities like'he is handsome, he is from this tribe' and a whole lot of crap. John Mahama would not be the president if competence was a consideration by the electorates. Somebody like Bawumia, Alan, Myself, Papa Owusu Ankomah and many others are some few names that come to mind in this direction. For me, Bawumia can do the trick. This is Ghana where objectivity is not on the menu of electorates in selecting a president. The NPP should break away from that silly old fashion mentality of waiting in line for ones turn to hold positions in the party. We must learn from the NDC if winning election is priority. Akufo Addo has done his best but trust me winning the presidency for us is as difficult as a Carmel going through the eye of a middle. Sir John as the general secretary too is problematic.

Nana's soul may be willing to serve his country but i'm afraid, the body is weak.Most people would have noticed, during the Supreme Court judgement day, that one of Nana's bodyguards was carrying a difribillator with him to the court. This is a medical equipment that is used to re-start the heart when you have a cardiac arrest. It proves that Nana has indeed got a heart problem and needs to stay away from the hustle of Ghanaian politics.
He can serve Ghana in so many ways other than being a dead President walking, who will be manipulated by those selfish people around him.

If not because of the petition Ghanaians will have never know how useless our Electoral Commission is. EC were able to lie to our Supreme Court in January 2013 about the electoral results.
Supreme Court as we all know can not change a decision they have already made, but Nana Akufo and the petitioners has proven their case and we all know.
Remember Supreme Court can not overturn the decision the made in January. Its our SC whether they are wrong or right makes it Supreme and Nana Addo is a good example of Rule of Law and how its to be followed. Thank you Nana.

CAN I A PIG BE CLEAN FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR? NO. A PIG IS ALWAYS A PIG. SHIT CARRIERS, TOWN SWEEPERS, WATCHMEN AND KAYAYO WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME AND FOREVER REMAIN THE SAME.IN FACT IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO THE NORTHERN AND VOLTA PART OF GHANA YOU WILL ACTUALLY WEEP AND WAIL FOR THE INHABITANTS.JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND TSIKATAS HAVE RISEN TO THIS LEVEL SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE ASSOCIATED THEMSELVES WITH SOME AKANS.IN FACT PEPENII MAHAMA NOW SEES HIMSELF TO BE THE MOST BLESSED MAN EVER LIVED ON EARTH. HE NEVER BELIEVED HE WAS AT THE SEAT OF THE THING MADE FOR THE AKANS. BUT NO MATTER WHAT A PIG IS ALWAYS A PIG. WITHOUT A RENOWNED KING MAHAMA WOULD HAVE BEEN DISGRACED BY BEING DEPOSED OFF THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT. EVEN WITH THAT HE STILL DOES NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE SEAT. HE STILL PREFERS TO BE A LEADER OF SECURITY GUARDS.
WILLIAM ATUGUBA HAS DEMONSTRATED IT CLEARLY IN HIS JUDGEMENT AS SUPREME COURT JUDGE. HIS POSITION IS TOO HIGH FOR HIM.
THE PEACE IN GHANA WILL ALWAYS BE CREDITED TO THE AKANS. MPEPEFUOR IN THE NORTH COULD FIGHT OVER 1 GUINEA FOWL SO HOW CAN THEY BRING PEACE IN GHANA. IT IS MY OPINION AND WISH THAT ALL AKANS SHOULD FORM A SEPARATE COUNTRY FROM THE PORTORFUOR GROUP OF UNCIVILIZED CREATURES.
A PURE EXAMPLE IS JUSTICE WILLIAM ATUGUBA THE MOST CORRUPT SUPREME COURT JUDGE WHO HAS ALREADY BOUGHT CURSES FOR ALL HIS DESCENDANTS WHO WILL CONDONE HIS BRIBERY NATURE.
WILLIAM ATUGUBA HAS SHOWN TO THE WORLD THAT HE IS THE MOST STUPID CREATURE EVER LIVED.FROM HIS JUDGEMENT JUSTICE WILLIAM ATUGUBA MUST BE SENT TO DISTRICT MAGISTRATE COURT INSTEAD. SUPREME COURT IS TOO BIG FOR JUSTICE WILLIAM ATUGUBA. IN FACT, IN THE ADVANCE COUNTRIES SUCH AS UK WHERE I VOTE ALL THE TIME THERE IS NO PARTY AGENTS APART FROM THE ELECTORAL/RETURN OFFICERS IN GENERAL ELECTION THEREFORE THE SIGNATURE OF PARTY AGENTS ARE NOT MORE AUTHENTIC/LEGAL ON THE PINK SHEET THAN THAT OF THE RETURN OFFICERS.FROM HIS ANALYSIS ATUGUBA SHOULD STOP WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT AS BEING JUDGE AND GO DOWN TO BE A TRAINEE SOLICITOR.
MAHAMA HIMSELF KNEW HE NEVER WON. BRIBE GOT HIM WHERE HE IS.
IN THIS ELECTION PETITION JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA LOST THE CASE BUT THE VERDICT WAS TURNED BECAUSE A RENOWNED KING IN THE AKAN LAND IN GHANA CAME IN AT THE 11TH HOUR TO LOBBY FOR DRAMANI MAHAMA JUST TO REDUCE THE DISGRACE AND THE EMBARRASSMENT.
THE HIDDEN TRUTH IS THAT JUSTICES AKOTO BAMFO AND ADINYIRA SOLD THEIR CONSCIENCE FOR $5,000,000 EACH AT THE 11TH HOUR THAT WAS WHY INSTEAD OF 1100 FOR COURT SITTING WAS CHANGED TO 1400. WHY DID ATUGUBA HAVE TO BE IN AMERICA BEFORE EMAILING HIS ANALYSIS FOR DISMISSING THE PETITION. HE DOES NOT RESPECT THE PEOPLE OF GHANA. WITH HIS DISFIGURED FACE OF THE TRIBAL MARKS ATUGUBA WILL STILL REMAIN A TYPICAL ''MASSA DUNKRU DE3 OPOTOR HWIE GU TUA''
GOD WILL REWARD ALL THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVE IN THE BRIBERY SCANDAL

The CEO of a Vacuum Cleaner company was impatient with the poor job his salespeople were doing, so one day he decided to do the job himself.

"After all!" he thought. "I AM the CEO!"

He pulled up to a very old house in his Mercedes Benz and knocked on the door. A little old barefoot man wearing overalls answered the knock on the door, only to be confronted by the very well dressed and dignified CEO in a $2,000 navy blue pin-striped business suit, a Hermes silk tie, a starched white shirt with monogrammed cufflinks, $700 shoes polished like black mirrors, and carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the impeccably groomed CEO. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Get lost, Mister fancy suit!" said the old man. "I haven't got any money" and he proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the CEO wedged his perfectly polished shoe in the door and pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."

The old man again told him to get lost. And with that, the CEO emptied a bucket of mud all over his hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this mess from your carpet, sir, I will personally eat the remainder. I am the CEO! You have my GUARANTEE!"
"I got a better idea" said the old man, "If you don't clean it all up, I'll swap those fancy clothes of yours fer my overalls. Your nice suit, your tie, your shoes, everything!"

"Fine, sir!" said the CEO confidently, with a condescending smile. "I'll give you my clothes!"

"Lemme ask you somethin', pal...Where are you goin' when you leave here?"

The CEO answered very confidently: "To a VERY important conference! WHY?"

"Will they let you in if yer barefoot?" said the old man.

"Of course not!" said the CEO.

"How much did you pay for those socks you'v got on?" asked the old man.

"Thirty dollars" said the bewildered CEO. "Why?"

"I ain't never worn thirty dollar socks before!" said the old man. "It will be kinda hard for you to wear overalls to work, I guess!" said the old man.

"WHAT?!" said the confused CEO.

"And will you show how me to tie a necktie?" said the old man...

One hour later, the door of the apartment opened, and the CEO carefully looked out. Seeing that no one was around, his foot appeared.

A bare foot.

He stepped out into the hallway - dressed now only in overalls and bare feet. His expensive executive suit and tie had vanished, along with his confidence and dignity.

The old man watched him run away to his car with a grin, admiring the expensive pinstriped suit and silk tie he had just acquired. He then sat down and pulled on the CEO's thirty dollar socks and gleaming shoes.

"Now I gotta see about paying' that electric bill..."

NANA IS NOW LIKE THE HUMILIATED CEO HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR THE COUNTING OF THE BALLOT PAPERS INSTEAD OF THE PINK SHEETS.
THE CEO OF THE VACUUM COMPANY SHOULD HAVE CHECK FOR THE ELECTRICITY AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING BEFORE PLACING THE BET.

Nana's name has become a household name right now! He's now popular not only in Ghana but around the world.

On the other hand our justices have disgrace themselves by making such a bogus verdict. A 12yr-old child could have made a better judgement on the election petition case that was put before the Supreme Court.
