As long as there are plenty adults who only know how to vote for a face or along tribal lines, without studying party programs or ideologies please stop this nonsense about voting at 16.

Absurd, and one has to ask what are the benefits for lowering the voting age? We live in a nation where even the mature,adult voting group does not fully understand the democratic wisdom for their vote. Another money burning trap,like the creation of numerous additional constituencies at a time when the nation can ill afford it. Mr Mubarack is perhaps as confused as the youth that he is supposed to be counselling!

Give it to him Sokoto.

Even though it is true that all tribes and societies in Ghana, Africa and elsewhere have shortcomings peculiar to themselves only, it does not make sense to highlight these shortcomings unnecessarily in a derogative manner.

I would presume that we join company on this platform to critique positively and to find solutions to the many problems facing all of as a nation and not to undermine, abuse or to demean others amongst us whose culture is only just different from other ones amongst us.

As for the personal insults, even though they are also largely unacceptable, they are more tolerable. Senseless ethnic abuse however gross and crass.

.....and this nonsense comes immediately after his swearing in ceremony. God help us from now till the end of his term.

But what at all is wrong with these NDC people?They mean there is not one single intelligent person in their midst?

In a country where even Professors, pensioners, grand mothers and grand fathers are voting purely on the futile basis of ethnic considerations, the good looks of candidates or the small-small monetary donations from candidates, this clown further wants to complicate the already worrisome situation by throwing into the deal, badly educated and unemployable Junior Secondary school graduates.

This National Youth Coordinator of the National Youth Authority, says youth at 16 years old can do light work therefore they are also entitled to vote. First of all what does he mean by light work? At a time when thousands of university graduates have become economically redundant because there are no job openings available in the downward spiraling economy, where are the multiple numbers of unemployable senior secondary school and Junior secondary graduates going to find whatever is meant by light work, to justify their eligibility to vote?

I advise the NDC hierarchy to find a nanny or a minder of some sort to take care of this impetuous young man who has been given a job which clearly, is bigger than himself.

One day Little Timmy comes home from school yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! Today at school we had to say our ABC's and I was the only one in my class who knew them all! The teacher said I did really good!" "Well that's great, son," his father replied "I'm very proud of you!" So the next day when Little Timmy gets home from school he again is very excited "Daddy! Daddy!" Timmy yells "Today at school we had to name all of the colors in class and I got them all right! The teacher said I did very good!" And his father replied "Well that's great, son, I'm very proud of you!" The next day when Little Timmy came home from school he came in yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Today in school after gym class, we were in the shower and I had the biggest penis! I was very happy!" "Well son," his father replied "that's because YOUR 18!"

so when are you going to learn sense you always spew nonsense everywhere, the people who did that resides in Ashante region so probably they are Asante’s right? so only Asante's people live in Ashante region right? no wonder Ghana is full of bird brains who think and reason with their ass. How would you defined education? so you think you can speak 2 by 4 English language you are better than those who can't speak that twisted language? the illiterate Asante's knows that Asante is not a tribe and literate Ghanaian like you people admit that Asante is a tribe, find the meaning of tribe in your dictionary and read for yourself if you can tell that definition fit the Asante’s. our education system is so corrupt that even our so-called educational elites fumble about the definition of tribe they still mention Asante as tribe in their various script so we will continue to live in the dark age till thy kingdom come because we are not ready to collect things imposed on us by the Europeans but still throwing dust in people eyes insulting Asante’s, Asante’s this, Asante’s that, why Ghanaians are so allergic to truth? no one not even a single Ghanaian speak the truth we always twist things no wonder we were colonized by the twisters so that is the only thing they left us and it's our property in our country to this date and up to date we still struggle with their twisted language. Continue to lionize the oppressors and tell people that they can't speak that twisted English language so they are illiterate, if this is how your illiteracy is defined then the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, south Koreans etc are all illiterate because they don't used English to teach in their various schools but rather using it as a form of communication but yet still your country Ghana borrow money from this people isn't it funny to boast yourself in some ones language? come on mr.man criticized the Asante’s in constructive manner but don't use twisted English language as a yardstick, if you want to know something about so-called English twisted language read the history of Anglo Saxons and the slave trade there you will prove me right. To me Asante's are not illiterate because they can speak their language and write it, they are wise people with decent behavior always they stand for the truth nothing but the truth that is their hall mark so mr.man who are you to tell them that they are illiterates? because they never been to Lagon, Tech, UCC etc for the bogus decree holders to assimilate them or is it because they never conform to western things? leave Asante's alone they have their own way of education let them have peace of mind so that they can concentrate.They have their own mind so you can go to hell if what you think is right, one thing i like about the Asante's is that they are proud of their language and their heritage, before you talk about the Asante's learn history first and talk than to talk anyhow without knowing anything about them. Asante is not a tribe, then tell me Adansi is also a tribe and Denkyera as well, these two kingdoms were there before the coming of Asante ( osa nti)if these great kingdoms were never tribes how can Asante be a tribe? now we all know from the bible how tribe came about through the descendant of Jacob, so they were having the twelve tribe of Israel and now if each member of those tribe come together do they form a tribe again? we have Agona, Aduana, Oyoko,3k)na, Bretuo, As3kyeri,Asona, Monsi3 etc Aduana people have their own believes as the same to the other tribes the Europeans in their twisted ways are telling us that we should called our tribes as clans and our kings as chiefs whiles they have kingdoms and tribes, we will have chieftaincy and clans. The first kingdom in a present day Ghana was Adansi kingdom led by Aduana tribe these people believe that they were created by God, they have so many believes like kwaku Ananse story, the creation of Adansi Akyer3kyer3 by God now called Akrokerri, their kingdom grew stronger and stronger they started building house using mud that is why they were called Adansi meaning builders, they have some believe that their women are beautiful so their women should stay home and the man should serve them so that their beauty won't fade, generation passed and another generation came things changed. Another chief gathered his people and they fought against Aduana and conquered them this group of people were Agona people who believe that they are wiser than anyone on this earth so they defeated the Adansi and they became part of them and some of them left to present day kumasi and its environs to seek an asylum. The Agona people also have their own believes, they believe in their wisdom given to them by God and their men also pamper their ladies and never mistreat women in their life, they use sensible tactics to defeated the Aduana that is why they were called denay3nkyer3 which is denkyera all these things happened you and I were not there not even the Europeans but yet still we fellow their twisted ways. The rising of Asante led by Oyoko tribe. Osei tutu the first, was serving in denkyera kingdom he was learning how to rule in aman hyia which is no called manhyia in the suburb of kumasi, chiefs in kumasi at that time were ruling in their own suburb not in a union state, Oyoko people were occupied only in manhyia where they ruled. Oyoko people have their own believes, they believe what they can do, they are aggressive, they are bold to face anything on their way, after the dead of Osei Tutu's uncle he became a king at manhyia, he then tried to gathered all the suburb chiefs to form a union to fight against the Agona people which is denkyera kingdom but don't get that is through Agona people who taught Osei Tutu Oyoko man how to rule. Osei Tutu succeeded in his movement which is called osa nti that is because of war he got support from Asona tribe, As3kyeri,etc with the exception of Agona tribe who were the occupant of the great kingdom. After he succeeded he then attacked the Brongs and fought several wars there so their number increased, he then turned his back to denkyera but never succeeded some years later Aduana from Adansi were under Denkyera rule joined the Oyoko tribe led by Osei Tutu to defeated the Agona tribe which is Denkyira after they defeated Denkyera they became mighty Asante’s and some of the Denkyera people began to pay homage to the Asante’s. Why they became mighty Asante’s after the defeating of Denkyera? because Denkyera was the strongest kingdom ever exist and the Asante’s took their title with the helped of Aduane people from Adansi and later they fought with Aduana people from Adansi and some of them left to settle different places. So Asante led by Oyoko was made up of different tribes with different believes, so you may meet an Asante who is arrogant, pride, disrespectful, etc the reason is that they are not from one tribe but rather different tribes so there must be a differences so stop insulting Asante’s and don't follow the twisted history wrote by the Europeans to fool you and believe that Asante is a tribe, tribal war died in the eleventh where you and i weren't there even those Europeans weren't around and they are now writing some for you to believe that is happened how come that a black man have weak memory we just believe in ay trivia thing spread peace and live in harmonious way with each other. wellsbrains1919@yahoo.com or whatsapp 008613566124757

While in the playground with his friend, Little Johnny noticed that Jimmy was wearing a brand new, shiny watch. "Did you get that for your birthday?" asked Little Johnny. "Nope." replied Jimmy. "Well, did you get it for Christmas then?". Again Jimmy says "Nope." "You didn't steal it, did you?" asks Little Johnny. "No," said Jimmy. "I went into Mom and Dad's bedroom the other night when they were 'doing the nasty'. Dad gave me his watch to get rid of me."

Little Johnny was extremely impressed with this idea, and extremely jealous of Jimmy's new watch. He vowed to get one for himself. That night, he waited outside his parents' bedroom until he heard the unmistakable noises of lovemaking. Just then, he swung the door wide open and boldly strode into the bedroom. His father, caught in mid stroke, turned and said angrily. "What do you want now?" "I wanna watch," Johnny replied.

Without missing a stroke, his father said, "Fine. Stand in the corner and watch, but keep quiet."

So that they can manipulate election results even more; buy votes from gullible and hard-pressed youngsters. Why don't we reduce the voting age to 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 5? So stupid, when we have not fixed the problems with the present system, this guy wants to confound the problems even more. So let everyone vote right after they start walking and can talk.

And these are the leaders of the country? God have mercy on us. Why did he think 16 will be okay and no other number, say 12? Ghana is in a deep shit!

As always, I was enthralled when another young person was appointed to a key position, but as always, I am worried that that confidence expressed by leaders in young people will be whittled away through poorly-thought out statements and proclamations. While I wish Mubarak well, I wish to suggest that he should consider his pronouncements well before going to town and not make any populist statements. Good luck, young man, but put a rein on your mouth.

Listen to the goat-face Mubarak and the shit coming from his stinking mouth. Listen to his wrapped and stupid idea. Even in America where under 18s are allowed to work and pay INCOME TAX, no one has dared to come up with such a stupid and warped idea. Do children under 18 in his family ( I doubt if he has a family) take part in any decision taking? Nkwaseas3m ara kwa!......“More often when we talk about empowering young people, we don’t really give meaning to empowering them”, Mubarak bemoaned....young people like you and others like Felix Ofosu Kwakye, Omane-Boamah, Victoria Hammah, Stan Dogbe, Fifi Kwetey, Okudzeto Ablakwa have been "empowered" by clueless and visionless MEN IN POWER and what have you achieved to prove that THE YOUTH SHOULD AND MUST BE EMPOWERED. DISGRACEFUL PEOPLE!!!!! I wished I were on a panel with you to tell you in the face how stupid, foolish, and dumb you are. Ghanaians should start scrutinizing everything you say and do because John Clueless Dramani Mahama put you in that position so you can siphon money for his 2016 Campaign. Or is it JOB FOR NTAFUOR AS USUAL? Ghana? ino go be k3k3 again da walaaahi! Danduruwaaaka shheeeege!

This is madness. When they eat and they are full, they open their big mouths and say such foolish things. Frivolous thinker. Madness.
