Why would you sensationalize an expenditure by converting it into a non-existent currency? Because we have too many self-induced and forced educated people. I still blame that false assumption that we can ever be highly educated and act intelligently if we adhere to our mumbo-jumbo languages and cultures. Our degenerate society is guided by the excessive use of all these ignorant language(Twi) and ignorant backward culture (Akan).

Go Figure!!!

Ghana is a good place to be, has always been a good place to be. It is just certain elements who make us all look stupid. I only read Ghanaweb, just so I can keep all the stupid ignorant fellow citizens very close, then I can neutralize them, but sincerely, I hate close to three quarters of all these people. If I were white I'd be a racist, but I am black, Ghanaian and right. I am beginning to sympathize with white people and western cultures ( by culture I mean advancement of humankind).

I'm not too surprise that such baseless non-substantive article is coming from the New Stateman the paper under the editorship of the rejected and disgruntled hungry man, Haruna Atta the ungrateful, who was saved together with his wife from the cruelty of P/NDC monsters by the party which safe his life, NPP.

You can try but can not distract us from the whoopy 8.7 milliom Cedis budget deficit at the last 4 months of the year 2012 not to talk about the despicable Woyomenized dubious settlement payments, the NDC STX deals, SADA guinea fowls/forestry deals, Lap Tops purchase for individual selected NDC students, diverting state resources to buy cars for ordinary school girls whilst our people lacks of ordinaries like portable drinking water, electrification, better roads, medical care and school buildings for our children.

Mahama led NDC is a huge shame and shambolicly horrible. Let's talk about the above and stop attacking innocent citizens and organisations capable of coming up with solutions to our unbearable social economic chaotic mess.
