You don't always have to use a repellent to drive away a mosquito,you have to find a way of "eradicating" it.A Gen-Secretary who is a good communicator could have wipe away Asiedu-Nketia's propaganda.

I agree with you Kay. If you spend to much energy trying to drive away a mosquito and end up slapping yourself in the process, you are the one who ends up looking stupid.

i think ken agyapong is better than sir john as flag bearer but to have the two of them as president and vice will be most ideal. we need people who have fire in their souls and can not be compromised or corrupted . It is ok for the ndc to parade thieves like rawlings tsikata konadu mahama kwetey and nketia but when the npp try to field a true Akan warriors who can try and protect the rights of the majority they go and kill him like mills, in fact the blood of the Akan leaders has been spilt so many times no one bothers to ask why , a wise man said wisdom comes after reflection with justice in the heart but that is not the case. pepeni and his alajih thieves could not even offer 10,000 troops to obama our first black president and friend rather these cowards are running around in full body armor trying to frighten the people and will soon be causing trouble .these Arabs are just as evil as pepeni , imagine the Muslims being able to twist even the word of God so it becomes a platform for hate and oppression of others , i hope the Americans bomb them all into oblivion and later come here and bomb these pepeni too, long live the republic of Akan

That is very true but they need to grow up. On the issue of who should be the flag bearer for NPP, I am of the view that Bawumia must be considered because he is very marketable and very gentle. Those clamouring for Allan are just chasing the wrong horse. He has a lot of cobwebs in his wardrobe.
DKB 10 years ago

But Frank, in a country where people vote on tribal lines, beauty and height do you think Bawumia would be more marketable? Although i agree with you on his choice, my worry is the mentality of the majority of voters.

Hmmm, you are right about votes on ethnic lines are true. That is why Francois Mitterand of France once said that democracy is sweet but not good for Africans. If cash is made the flagbearer for NPP, they will lose really miserably. Do you remember the Kuffour cassava project which failed miserably? That will be a campaign message against him. Bawumia endeared himself so well in this petition trial that he has won some high currency among Ghanaians. It should also be noted that Mahama comes from a minority and deprived area, people from other tribes voted for him. Akuffo Addo is also marketable. It is only the uneducated who do not know much history that use height as a yardstick for presidency. If they go back to history, they will learn that the greatest rulers were not giants.

My dear friend, Bawumia became a toast during the election petition. Also, NPP should be able to wean itself of the constant accusation of being an Akan party. There are many competent people in the party and I think that if Akuffo Addo decides not to stand, the best alternative will be Bawumia. What about Prince William standing and making me your vice. I will also chop the money some because the politicians have not allowed teachers to chop too. Hahahahahaha

Most NPP gurus are cowards and so cannot face issues as it is. Sir John is an equal match to NDC's General Mosquito. But why is
Mosquito hailed by almost every one in NDC but Sir John on the other side is being criticised by some NPP's?
You maynot like Sir john personally and how he talks, buy LET tell you, IT THE NPP have about 10 MEN like Sir john in the NPP, NDC could never rig an election in Ghana.
I TELL YOU.
Kick sir John and AKUF-ADDO out and remain in OPPOSITION then. Cowards!!!!

The only best general secretary NPP has ever had is DAN BOTWE. After him, sir John is the second best. Go to the grass root and they would tell you.

THE ONLY FEW MEN HOLDING NPP NOW IS
1. NANA AKUFO-ADDO
2. SIR JOHN
3. KOFI DWUMAH
3. KENNEDY AGYAPONG
4. SAMMY AWUKU
5. JOHN BOADU
6.THE MP OF TEMA: TITUS GLOVER
7.OSEI MENSA-BONSU (MINORITY LEADER)
8.Anthony Garbo
9. Madam Elsler Owusu and
10.Hopeson Adorye.

The rest of the NPP leadership apart these are all crap!!!

Sir John took a shit in a gas station and then realized there was no toilet paper. There was a hole in the wall and a sign above it that read: "When you go to the bathroom, wipe yourself with your index finger, stick it through this hole and it will be thoroughly cleaned."

Sir John did exactly what the sign said, but when he stuck his finger through the hole, Aseidu Nketia at the other side slapped two bricks together against his finger and because of the pain he stuck his finger in his mouth and started to suck on it.

The demographics again have changed. It is true from even the casual observer that, the actions of Sir John and his utterances, rallies the base, rallies the acclaimed "world bank", but the critical question is, is it enough to clinch victory in an election, when, it is becoming abundantly clear, that, your typical political base, is not just enough to carry the day? It brings to the fore, the issue of targeting your message to attract not to ward off, attract, those on the sidelines, those on the fences, who are not really bothered by the mosquito-repellant antics, but are looking for substance, are looking at issues on a different dimension. It's about time NPP did something about targeting their message and not actions done just to rally their base/world bank, but also equally importantly, appealing to a wider swath/bloc of the voting public, who are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with the advent of technology and access to information about how other countries are faring and what steps their political leadership are taking to address their myriad of problems, devoid of the overblown gutter politics. The NDC made inroads into the acclaimed "world bank" and that should tell the NPP party something about the changing demographics and targeted communication, to attract not to subtract.

How does this supposedly enlightened 'Dr.' Come to prefer crude, hooliganistic behavior by National Party high-ups?

Sir John could exhibit his courage in other ways that portray him as a polished leader in the NPP and still effectively counter any attacks by Gen Mosquito. He does not have to stoop to the perceived lower level the 'Dr.' ascrbes to Gen Mosquito.

This tells us that the likes of the Dr. Would rather have us believe that NPP is just another NDC with a different name.

For most decerning Ghanaians we look for a Party that is not stuck with the same old dirty Politicking replete with hooligans and wearing impoliteness on its sleeve and always disrespecting others with varying opinions with insults.

Sir John could have set an example for our Youths by claiming decency, decorum and intelligent addressing of issues.

If the Gen is known to be uncouth, it does not mean Sir John ought to copy that to prove his courage.

Ghana deserves polished leadership that knows how to interact with the Public to promote our collective advancement. The insults and hollow machismo do not build a Nation.

Long Live Ghana!!!
