We will turn our anxieties into opportunities. Thank u for message. Whatever negatives this NDC party will present us with, we will find ways of turning them into positives. No NANa No Vote.
Ps. Pls don't let ur advisors advise u too to become an opportunist and donate to OSU children's home. Out of 25000000 people in Ghana those 250 kids seem to be so lucky. Government donated to the home as did so many NGO's and self seeking Ghanaian pretending to care donated to OSU yet there are millions of kids in similar situations in Ghana. It's so sad that whilst donating they get the media to drive 5 mins from the offices to witness their hypocritical acts of benevolence. Nana pls if u want to donate please go into the hinterland. There are hundreds if not thousands of homes from Axim to Bawku.
Happy New Year again you are about TO FULFIL YOUR PURPOSE since people have a problem with u fulfilling ur destiny

ANATOMY OF A STOOPID GHANAIAN!
A BETTER, PROSPEROUS, MODERN, FORWARD THINKING GH STARTS WITH YOU!
IF YOUR LIVING SITUATION IS GOOD, THEN GHANA WILL BE GOOD.
IF YOU ARE CONFUSED, DISORIENTED, UNORGANIZED, FEARFUL, IN DEBT/DEATH,
THEN GH WILL BE THE SAME.
TRAITS OF A DUMB GHANAIAN
1.LEAPS BEFORE HE LOOKS, THEN SAYS.."MEWUOO! AWURADE BUA ME OOOOO
2.HAS NO GRATITUDE. FASTFOOD BRAIN. EASILY FORGETS:
They are disingenuous. Look around you. I mean you, and the one next to you.
The average Ghanaian has a very short memory; too short to remember to reward righteous politicians or punish unrighteous politicians. Blame him/her not.
It’s neither her duty nor her fault that she can’t remember politicians’ political records. For peace sake, she has job responsibilities, family obligations, and personal life to take care of.
Hence, it’s no surprise if she can’t follow what her elected officials’ promised her or what they have actually achieved while in office.
3.HAS NO FORESIGHT. FAST FOOD MENTALITY
4.LACKS MENTALITY TO PLAN LONGTERM
5.COMPOUND INTEREST IS A MYTH
6.BELIEVES AND PLACES FAITH IN INNATE, ILLOGICAL IDEALS LIKE JUJU, FAMA NYAME, 3B3Y3 YIE WAI.
7.DESPISES RESEARCH
8.PREFERS TO ACT, SPEAK, AND REASON EMOTIONALLY, THAN LOGICALLY
9.COMFORTABLE WITH MEDIOCRITY
10.DESPISES CONTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
11.FUN OR PARTY TODAY, SUFFER LATER
12.INSTANT GRATIFICATION
13.PREFERS TO ARGUE, DEBATE INCESSANTLY WITHOUT REAL, CONCRETE, COLD HARD FACTS!
14.COMFORTABLE WITH MEDIOCRITY
15.INCAPABLE/LOOKS DOWN ON DOING CHARITABLE DUTIES
16.LACKS INITIATIVE
17.PREFERS TO STEAL, LIE, CHEAT, TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS
18.SUCCESS DOE NOT = HARDWORK AND CAREFUL PLANNING
19.HATES TO ASK
20.KNOW IT ALL
21.ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE EASY ROUTE, SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS
22.HEY SMALLBOY!....BRA HA!
23.BELIEVES SUCCESS IS ATTRIBUTED TO AWURADE NSHIRA(GOD'S BLESSING) AND NOT HARDWORK, DISCIPLINE AND CAREFUL PLANNING.
24.DOES NOT BELIEVE IN LEAVING ASSETS/PROPERTY FOR THEIR OFFSPRING.
25. ALWAYS PROCRASTINATING...M3Y3, M3Y3..AH, MESE M3Y3. MASSA, IF YOU R GOING TO PRESSURE ME THEN MENY3 BIOM!
26.SPENDS LOADS OF MONEY ON THE LOTTERY. WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE REALITIES OF PROBABILITY.
27.BELIEVES IN LUCK, OVER HARDWORK AND DISCIPLINE.
28.BUILDS ASSETS, SKYSCRAPPERS, STADIUMS IN THEIR MOUTHS AND BELLYS!
HAPPY, HEALTHY N A WEALTHY 2014 FOLKS!

PLEASE,LET'S STOP THE BLAMING GAME,because the PRESIDENT had already been given all the necessary tools, needed to succeed and succeed really big,but does not know how to manipulate,use,utilize them to his advantage,to make it.
HENCE,OUR WOE.
He has surrounded himself with naive,incompetent crooks,who are good for nothing,but looting and milking Ghana dry.
many Ghanaians are millionaires,but can hardly figure out one person,who has invented something worthwhile that can transform a nobody to somebody,an insignificant to significance.
YET THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
If you study the WESTERN BILLIONAIRES HISTORY,you will see that some inherited their wealth from parents,but most of them did something others couldn't do,therefore made it big(CAME UP WITH SOME BUSINESS IDEAS,THE OTHERS DESIRED,CELEBRATED AND THEREFORE,IT REWARDED THEM HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY).
This is not the case of AFRICANS,who are rich.
Many,are stupid fools,yet have made it through corruption.
THAT'S WHAT OUR LEADERS/GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,POLITICIANS IN AFRICA,ARE DOING,TO BE RICH.
Your NDC PARTY,IS NO EXCEPTION.

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.

The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies "Four." The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly."

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The accountant says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four."

Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says "What do you want it to equal?"

You can tell the title of the article was not created by Akuffo-Addo, but by the "illiterate editor" of the article, because the "content" of the article is at at variance with the "title". Where in the content does Akuffo-Addo suggest praying for economic growth?
Unfortunately and tragically, based on our biases and prejudices, a lot of Ghanaians fall into the trap of dogmatically and superficially offering comments just based on a "title", rather than critically and objectively reading and evaluating the "content".

If you missed the import of what Akuffo-Addo is communicating, please go back and take a second hard look.

He is asking for "prayers for Leadership" of the country, regardless of who is in power. This is something we should ALL agree on, regardless of our affiliations.

Hahahahaaaaa....... Now, Akufo Addo has turned from being a seasoned Politician to a full time Prophet. If prayer can grow economies, why do we then elect people to plan and impliment such policies.

I believe Rev. Owusu Bempah might be the who advised him on this new economic policy. Nana Akufo Addo is turning into Osofo Dadzie. Hahaha...oh my stomach, i can't laugh.

You are doing stomach politics. You are able to collect bribe and so you are insulting everybody. Are you the only sensible person in Ghana? But for stealing votes you would not have been where you are now. But for nana you may have been in Togo or Ivory Cost or hiding like the way Rawlings did after the 1979 coupe. Too tribalistic and greedy. Think twice.

The mad cow disease that had infected Sir John's brains before, during and after the Supreme Court verdict is spreading fast among the NPP leadership.

Today, we read Sir John complaining about President Mahama hijacking CHRISTMAS away from Ghana to United Arab Emirates. Then, less than 12hours after his silly comment, the immediate past flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo pops up with yet more embarrassing and a laughable suggestion that Ghanaians should pray for the economy to grow.

No wonder, Nana is still hiding in London and waiting on the Lord to reveal to him whether to run for the flagbearership of the NPP or not. And now it has been proved beyond all reasonable doubts that the NPP is currently being led by donkeys instead of the elephant.

But Nana is time u retired ,don,t allowed anyone to deceive u.U cant get the sit in Ghana as a president.U can stand the 3rd time but u cant wine. Late Prez. John E. stand three times and worn it, because Ghanaian s love him and new that he worn but K4 & NPP stool the votes then.U never worn the election last but disturbed Ghanaian s by going to court which made Ghana retard for the year 2013 so mush. Gone to court without any real evidence or witness than using Pint Sheet talk in court. Ghanaian's will not forgive u for that, as u call it democracy. Ghanaian's need food ,water, electricity and peace not democracy by going to court & violence at Obra spot & on the street.Thanks and take my advice. Ghanaian,s need peace even if they are hungry.For Tribal voting, NPP should stop it then other Ghanaian s will follow.In the NPP it self who are the members and how they behave in public before Ghanaian's will vote for NPP? God Bless NPP to see the light soon.

Some prayer, yes! But first, eschew corruption; then work hard & honestly. Leaders should set examples of diligent hard work, moral behaviour, & clean living. Only then may God smile upon our country!!

Nana if you can advise your NPP guys to stop the violence attitude you dosed in them should stop this year and advise Ghanaian s to know that all die Be Die, Kill all the ewes & Gas is not working for NPP this new year 2014 then Ghanaian's will forgive u. My new year advise for Ghanaian s is lets unit work hard & pray and try to avoid corruption in our work places.For corruption let the church pastors advise on it more to their congregates.

The new hooker just finished her first trick and when she came back
down to the street, the seasoned veterans all gathered around to hear
the details.
She said "well, he was a big muscular and handsome marine".
"Well, what did he want to do?" they all asked.
She said " I told him that a straight lay was $100, but he said he
didn't have that much". "So I told him a blow job would be $75, but
he didn't have that much either". "Finally I said, well, how much
do you have"? The marine said that he only had $25.
The new hooker said "well, for $25 all I can give you is a hand job"
He agreed and after getting the finances straight, she said " he
pulled it out and I put one hand on it, and then the second hand above
the first and then the first hand above the second hand....."
"Oh my god" they all exclaimed, "it must have been huge"! " then what
did you do?"
"I loaned him $75!" she said.

Economic growth for you and your Ali Baba, Kufuor ad co to come back looting?. This time we are more than 4 steps ahead and wiser than you lot. We have nothing to learn from your dubious and selfish, violent and infantile experience. Just go away. You are no good for Ghana. You are not a presidential material.

When all fails, turn to God. Duncan-Williams turned from armed robber to a preacher-man and just see how he is now duping and robbing his followers with the bible in his hand that still has all fingers intact (he lost the fingers on the other hand to armed robbery). Now man akuff is moving on from crack cocaine through all-die-be-die to win-at-all-cost (notice that - win at all cost) to prayers. Dear God, please do not listen to this desperate old foggie. Tell him not to try to fool Ghanaians, but to go back and do his crack coke.

Ask Tsatsu Tsikata how he occurred to him to purchase that old and rag-bitten vessel turned into a Drill Ship? You seem not to be uninformed and would excite yourself and NDC scouts with such questions. Nana isn't in charge of ship business and NDC knows that. For the fact that Nana chose to spend some time in the UK with his wife to have some space and fresh air after the election petition, the NDC just don't seem to feel easy. They'd rather want to make Nana their prime target instead of focusing on the business of Ghana esp. solving he problems of the nations economy. Pathetic NDC "Apparatchiks" in our midst, who don't know what to do. It's very sad, very sad! I wonder when they [NDC] will ever mature and start contributing positively towards Ghana's economic progress? For nearly (19 + 4.5)=24yrs, they cannot find ways to help build a prosperous Ghana except to tell lies upon lies deceiving unsuspecting Ghanaians. I just wonder why!

Thanks a million for wishing us all a Happy New Year. May God bless and guide you now in the coming years as you prepare for the next challenge ahead. On behalf of all well-meaning NPP party members and Ghanaians in general, I wish you, wife and children, Dr. Bawumiah and family, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and family, Kwadjo Owusu-Afriyie (Sir John) and family a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

You people have fought well for the party and deserve commendation and applause. May God help you in your quest in building a better Ghana for all. The task may seem daunting; you may face lots of mountains and valleys, in your pursuit to achieve greatness and perfection for Ghana, you should rest assured that God is behind you, as so are a host of loyal members, an army of staunch supporters are solidly behind you. May it be well with you, and may God bless NPP party and its leaders, and our dear country, Ghana. Amen!
