To place belief and faith in a President who is so aloof and even very distant from his own comrades would be suicidal. The President has surrounded himself with political sycophants who are not telling him the truth. Not surprisingly, the Chairman of his party thinks Ghanaians are lazy.
I am deeply disappointed !

Now that its clear and exposed that this regime is burdened toxic tribalism , thieving corruption and hegemony we shall now elaborate on the other pillar which is the crudest form of cult personality politics . cult personality politic has led our country into ruins and collapsed all economic prosperity. cult personalitis hstarted in the days of nkrumah and were modified by evil wicked ayigbe kwasea jj. we see what it has done to north Korea , what happened to china under mao , Russia under Stalin , Germany with Hitler , Libya with Gaddafi , Yugoslavia with Tito and the list is endless . under the guise of cult personalities unheard of atrocities against their own citizens are committed as we ourselves also witnessed with jj and nkrumah since all these leaders in their blasphemous style governance think they are gods above God and therefore are infallible and can not make any mistakes . these psychopaths cause such pain and misery to the majority of there people but feel no remorse or guilt for their actions rather blow the trumpet of always blaming the innocent as we with the barking dog jj today. no nation with these kind of cult personalities dominating their leadership has ever succeeded in developing or reaching their full potential. their systems are best eradicated with a revolution or war so the people have a chance of a fresh start , coups are never enough as they only replace one criminal with another . pepeni has capitulated to whom its not so clear but its evident in his whining and crying that he says he is not liked , loved or respected so we suspect jj is now again ruling by proxy with the help of his ayigbe homicidal criminals . we must now ready the people for the inevitable which is war and we Akans shall be victorious . We all noticed pepeni was shunned and snubbed by all the other presidents in south africa except his unpopular colleague zuma since the whole world now knows he is a fake , an imposter and a good for nothing clown of an idiot .he best just think of how best he may resign before the blood flows in the streets as cult personality politics never end peacefully , a word to the wise long live the republic of Akan

The truth about what is really going on in Mali and with AFRICOM and NATO countries, especially France is a little bit like a geopolitical “Victoria’s Secret”—what you think you see is definitely not what you will get.
We are being told repeatedly in recent months that something supposedly calling itself Al Qaeda—the organization officially charged by the US Government as responsible for pulverizing three towers of the World Trade Center and blowing a gaping hole in the side of the Pentagon on September 11, 2001—has regrouped.
According to the popular media account and statements of various NATO member country government officials, the original group of the late Osama bin Laden, holed up we are supposed to believe somewhere in the caves of Tora Bora in Afghanistan, has apparently adopted a modern business model and is handing out Al Qaeda official franchises in a style something like a ‘McDonalds of Terrorism,’ from Al Qaeda in Iraq to Libyan Islamic Fighting Group in Libya and now Al-Qaeda-in-the Islamic-Maghreb.
I’ve even heard reports that a new Al Qaeda “official” franchise has just been given, bizarre as it sounds, to something called DRCCAQ or Democratic Republic of Congo Christian (sic) Al Qaeda. [7] Now that’s a stretch which reminds one of an equally bizarre sect called Jews for Jesus created back in the hippie days of the Vietnam War era. Can it be that the architects of all these murky groups have so little imagination?
If we are to believe the official story, the group being blamed in Mali for most all the trouble is Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM for short). The murky AQIM itself is actually a product of several behind-the-scenes workings. Originally it was based in Algeria across the border from Mali and called itself the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC according to its French name).
In 2006 Al Qaeda’s head guru in absence of Osama bin Laden, Egyptian jihadist Ayman al-Zawahiri, publicly announced the granting to the Algerian GSPC the Al Qaeda franchise. The name was changed to Al-Qaeda-in-the Islamic-Mahgreb and Algerian counter-terror operations pushed them in the past two years over the desert border into northern Mali. AQIM reportedly is little more than a well-armed criminal band that gets its money from running South American cocaine from Africa into Europe, or from arms dealing and human trafficking. [8]
A year later, in 2007, the enterprising al-Zawahiri added another building block to his Al Qaeda chain of thugs when he officially announced the merger between the Libyan LIFG and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM).
The LIFG or Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, was formed by a Libyan-born jihadist named Abdelhakim Belhaj. Belhaj was trained by the CIA as part of the US-financed Mujahideen in Afghanistan during the 1980s alongside another CIA trainee then named Osama bin Laden. In essence, as the journalist Pepe Escobar notes, “for all practical purposes, since then, LIFG/AQIM have been one and the same – and Belhaj was/is its emir.” [9]
That becomes even more interesting when we find that Belhaj’s men – who, as Escobar writes, were at the forefront of a militia of Berbers from the mountains southwest of Tripoli, the so-called Tripoli Brigade—were trained in secret for two months by US Special Forces. [10]
LIFG played a key role in the US and French-backed toppling of Libya’s Qaddafi, turning Libya today into what one observer describes as the “world’s largest open air arms bazaar.” Those arms are reportedly flooding from Benghazi to Mali and other various hotspot targets of destabilization, including, according to what was suggested at the recent US Senate Foreign Relations testimony of outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, by the boatload from Libya to Turkey where they were being channeled into the various foreign terrorist insurgents sent into Syria to fuel the destruction of Syria. [11]
Now what does this unusual conglomerate globalized terror organization, LIFG-GPSC-AQIM intend in Mali and beyond, and how does that suit AFRICOM and French aims?

Ennin is right. Some years ago back in 91, an American called James Creville used a slogan to depict the state of affairs by saying The economy, stupid. The slogan still rings true. If a leader does not look after its people, what else is there to say? K4 understood that well. Mills was very aware and saw his efforts being messed up from within. The problem arises for the current leadership because it should never have gotten this far. If its not broken - don't try to fix it unless you have spare cash to improve it. The people of Ghana have belief in God and what they can do. But believing in the current? As for that one dierrrr, is hard.

IF GHANAIANS THINK GHANA BELONGS TO THEM, THEN THEY MUST BE LIVING ON PLANET MARS.
THE PERSONS NAMED IN THIS WRITE-UP AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY ARE THE REAL OWNERS OF OUR COUNTRY GHANA, INCLUDING ALL OF ITS NATURAL AND MAN-MADE RESOURCES.
ITS ABOUT TIME GHANAIANS WOKE UP TO THE PAINFUL REALIZATION THAT GHANA IS REALLY OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY, AND ITS CRONIES.
THAT'S WHY IN GHANA, THE POLITICAL PARTY IN POWER COMES FIRST BEFORE THE COUNTRY CALLED GHANA.
YOU SEE, OUR KALABULE FIRST LADIES ARE ALWAYS "ATTENDING CONFERENCES ABROAD PROMOTING WOMENS' ISSUES".
TODAY, THEY'RE IN PARIS.
TOMMORROW IN LONDON.
THE NEXT DAY, IN SWITZERLAND ATTENDING CONFERENCES OSTENSIBLY "PROMOTING WOMEN'S WELFARE". NA LIE!!!
YOU LIE BAD!!! THEY'RE BUSY STASHING AWAY MILLIONS, IF NOT BILLIONS, OF CONVERTIBLE CURRENCIES IN SECRET BANK ACCOUNTS ON BEHALF OF THEIR CROOKED HUSBAND "PRESIDENTS" OF POOR OLD GHANA AND DUMB GHANAIANS.
THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL FALL BACK ON WHEN THEY'RE KICKED OUT OF POLITICAL POWER.
WITH THIS MINDSET OF GHANA'S DOWNRIGHT AND RUTHLESSLY CORRUPT USELESS POLITICIANS, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEIR CRONIES, OUR COUNTRY AND ITS ECONOMY ARE DOOMED FOREVER.
GHANAIANS SHOULD CONTINUE TO REMAIN ALOOF THINKING THEY HAVE A COUNTRY THEY COULD CALL THEIR OWN.
THEY'RE DELUDING THEMSELVES "BIG TIME".
THAT'S CALLED DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR, "BIG TIME".

You say Nkrumah initiated the BUI dam but the 1996 COUP stopped him - in 1996 ? In 1996? Are you sure? Listen, shit for brains. Nkrumah was deposed in 1966. He died in 1972. He came up with the idea for the project of the BUI dam in 1960 but never initiated the building process. NPP grabbed the project by the horns and initiated the build in 2007. So! Now, tell me how he initiated the BUI dam in 1996 when he was dead? Foolish Twat. Secondly, it was NPP who started the Build. Foolish boy. In over 20 years of NDC - Basket Case every time.
