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...

The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

How do you reason Ivy or whatever you may call yourself? Why do morons like you always compare Ghana to developed countries in Asia, America and Europe? Silly as may it, How is the living conditions over there in Europe? Do Ghanaians have any secured pensions? Do Ghanaians have the chance to further their education compared to Europe and other developed countries? I need answers to these few questions from the so called Ivy or Envy.We are still undeveloped because of you uneducated fool.Stop talking crap here.

Yes I shouldn't have insulted you but I have no option. What is your educational level? Have you lived in any developed nation? Have you read or studied Human Geography? etc . If your answer is yes than I pity you. The core of the issue is sacrifice. Please let us delay most of the standards we setting for ourselves now. Citizens of a developing country should then live as such. Please let us cut our cloth as such. Ghanaians wish to live as citizens of a developed world but don’t want to behave as such. God help Ghana.

When Yaa Naa was brutally murdered NDC made a huge political capital of it and accused the ruling NPP govt and president Kufour of being behind it. Now Omanhene of SEIKWA has been murdered after receiving death threat and his 2 cars burnt.I think the ruling NDC and president Mahama should come out to tell Ghanaiams who is behind his death.

what money do they want and for what? Ghanaian must reject any increase in tariffs. if the gov't need money, they should prosecute the politicians in both parties for all the loots for any economic development.
