The people whose land this oil is found must demand at least 30% of the government's revenue from oil. If the government does not comply those people must engage in a bloody armed insurrection as it has happened in other countries. But this will happen because the people of western region are idiots: fama nyame!

MAHAMA AND HIS BUNCH OF CROOKISH INCOMPETENT CORRUPT MONSTERS CAN NEVER DO IT! NO! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! NDC LACK THE BRAINS. ---------------WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG? I AM SAYING, THAT, GHANAIANS VOTED FOOLISHLY!!-- IS THIS NDC'S BETTER GHANA? THEN WHAT WILL THEIR BITTER GHANA BE?--- IF THIS IS NDC'S PRAISE THE LORD, THEN, WHAT WILL THEIR CRUCIFY HIM BE?--- GHANA'S PROBLEM, TODAY, IS NOTHING BUT THE RESULT OF CRIMINAL NDC'S ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE POLICY***---------------*** "IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON, TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

the year has started and now that its evident the people can not be fooled or lied to any longer by the ndc regime we now see the traitors of the Akan cause within the npp raising their heads talking shit . these people are so morally bankrupt that they sold the gold to foreigners thus giving the golden goose away and we the silent majority loose 10 to 15 billion dollars a year. k4 was appointed UN envoy not because he he was a man of integrity and justice rather because in a very sophisticated legal manner disrobed the people of ghana of their wealth and handed it over to multinational corporations . these corporations continue to flare gas so much so the the white snow has turned black from soot ,farming land in nigeria has become barren and poisonous so they as this greedy fool to publicly sanction the rape of this planet . we say good riddance if it means he will no longer interfere in our destiny. alan cash our so called minister of industry didnt implement a single program for industrialization and is now blaming others for his incompetence and stupidity. k4 did not encourage the unity of the Akans rather exploited the diaspora (mainly fantis ) when they came and frustrated any effort for them to bring their potentials and capital home . the few that came were victims of outrageous shakedowns and institutional blackmail for monies . yes we were not blind and we rejoiced when nana akufo addo came and tried to clean house , hopefully ken agyapong continues and rids the party of these corrupt and morally bankrupt infiltrators. pepeni is broken and is no more a respected factor. this time we shall also expose the criminal element hiding in the shadows of the npp as the truth will make us stronger and give us a chance to turn the country around . for over 50 years every govt has failed us due to our own laziness and our ignoring the truth. k4 in his manhyia only politics caused divisions among the Akans , with his politics of favoritism and cronyism systematically denying the majority any true participation in the riches of the land just like we see today in this merchant bank deal , very similar to that shameful hotel deal his son did . all these deals are legal but morally bankrupt just as giving govt bungalows to officials yet the taxi driver or market woman can never dream of such a right or blessing . this political oligarchy only functions when they see some personal benefit for themselves and so we continue to advocate for war or revolution that will clean all of them from the face of this earth . long live the republic of Akan

To hell with your racist, self-inferiority complex and afro-pessimism! Instead of generalizing the crimes of the ruling elites who are collaborating with the West to keep Africa poor, demand justice and end to the pillage. Our ancestors, in their great wisdom, advise: Beware of humans and stop fearing ghosts! Find the human causes to our problems not pseudo-mystical explanations.

What did Mahama take with him to Dubai? Dubai is primarily a banking centre and a vacation spot last! And while at it remember that Mahama went to Turkey shortly after undeclared gold from Ghana was seized at the airport in Turkey. Follow the money trail and you will understand why the oil money is being shared like groundnuts!

Please do your homework. Ghana's oilfield is located 60km off-shore, in the sea. The sea is not land so individuals can't own it.

The sharing of oil proceeds by corrupt Dramani Mahama between NDC so-called politicians and their puppet Government appointees makes every NDC crook scared of Nana Akuffo Addo coming into Government.

The whole world and the majority people of Ghana cannot understand and believe why we have oil but the country is totally a hopeless state and has been plunged into the State of anarchy, economical chaos, everything in the country fallen apart, electricity "FUI-FUI", everything is short in the system, some people cannot even get food to eat, no sleeping apartment, some even sleeping in kiosks those who are lucky, meanwhile NDC so-called politicians are riding in V8 cars in abundance, Mahama flying Jet Aircraft, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah buying 3 houses at a go and pay cash like his wife buying tomatoes at the markola Market, Asiedu-Nketia with his mansion built at Aburi Mountains, Okudzeto Ablakwa building filling stations accross the country, Kwabena Adjei haven built houses across the country, Koku Anydoho with his church like house at Achimota, Hannah Bisiw with her luxurious mansion at Tachimantia,
Dramani Mahama fucking women and offer them Deputy Ministerial appointments,
bribing Supreme Court Judges, stupid
and the most hopeless and senseless talkative Kwakye Ofosu who has never worked before since came out from school having 2 houses in UK and across the country, Ghana under senseless NDC so-called politicians
selling Banks in our country for peanut, spending $80 million dollars to plant trees at dry season on dessert lands, breeding not existence "NKOMFEM" who are on holidaying at Baukinafaso, given away $52 million dollars free to Alfred Agbesi Woyome, given away $147 million dollars as judgement debt to Isofoton, and many other diabolical activities in our country, how on earth can this country see progress if not paradise?

NDC crooks and puppet administration buying Hyundai Cars distributing them
to the University girls, meanwhile
General Acheampong was crucified for
the same crime "FA WOTO BEGYE GULF",
episode, fellow country men and women, look at the State of our road in our country, corruption in our country is paramount in the whole sectors and our democratic institutions, Graduate unemployment Association formed, electricity with its "FUI-FUI" still
prices are on the highest level in our country, no good drinking water, petrol prices hijacked though crude oil prices are not raised, fellow country men and women, is it not stupid if we still see useless and senseless monkeys go on supporting these NDC crooks encouraging them to rob the State properties for their own selfish interest?

Why should we defend crook NDC politicians, YES, they know there are some stupid people in our country who will defend them when they steal, that is why they are doing what they are doing to the majority people of this country.

No doubt Mahama can tell the people of this country that Ghanaian are short sighted memory people and can easily forget issues at a short period, Asiedu-Nketia said "Leave them when issues comes up, they will say it after two weeks they will forget and it's died out". Dear country men and women, we have have to rise up and stop defending politicians and eschew from our midst this kind of divide and rule attitude in our political platform as it will not help us to build our country, and let us all call "bone se bone and papa se papa" period

THE OIL IN GHANA BELONGS TO NPP & THE PARASITIC NDC POLITICIANS.

GHANA'S OIL DOES NOT BELONG TO GHANAIANS, PERIOD.

THAT'S WHY THEY KILLED THE "DARK HORSE" ATTA-MILLS TO FORCE A BYE-ELECTION WHICH WAS ALSO DISAPPOINTINGLY WON BY ANOTHER CLUELESS CORRUPT HAPPY-GO-LUCKY DADABA LAZY IDIOT.

NPP ARE BITING THEIR FINGER NAILS FOR BRINGING IN OIL MONEY FOR OTHERS TO "CHOP", AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL THERE'S A POPULAR REVOLT IN GHANA.

A PLANNED REVOLT NEVER HAPPENED AFTER AFARI-DJAN'S ELECTIONS, SO NPP RESORTED TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR REDRESS ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED AGAIN - THEY WERE "UNLUCKY".

SO THE IDIOT IS STILL STAYING PUT MAINTAINING THE NDC LOOTING STATUS QUO WHILE WISELY INCREASING TAXES AND TARIFFS OF EVERY DAMN THING IN GHANA JUST TO IMPOVERISH THE NPP MILLIONAIRES.

HAVING IMPOVERISHED THE NPP MILLIONAIRES WITH HIGH TAXES AND TARIFFS, THE ENRICHED NDC PEOPLE CAN THEN PERPETUATE THEIR HOLD ON POLITICAL POWER IN GHANA.

THIS IS BECAUSE IN GHANA, MONEY CAN CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN.

IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS POLITICAL EXPLOITATION ARE TOILING ORDINARY GHANAIAN "EMPTY BARRELS" ALWAYS MAKING NOISE AND PRAYING 24/7 FOR "MANNA" FROM HEAVEN, FORGETTING THAT THE DAYS OF "MANNA" BELONGS IN THE BIBLICAL DAYS WHICH ARE LONG GONE.

WHO SAYS MAHAMA IS A FOOL!

MAHAMA KNOWS EXACTLY WHY TAXES AND ENERGY TARIFFS MUST BE INCREASED WILLY-NILLY EVERY FORTNIGHT.

IT'S A CLEVER STRATEGY TO EXPROPRIATE MUCH OF GHANA'S MONEY STOLEN BY KUFUOR AND HIS NPP.

AKUFO-ADDO QUICKLY SAW THE LIGHT AND THEN SMARTLY VAMOOSED TO THE UK WHERE HE'S MAKING BETTER USE OF HIS STOLEN WEALTH, RATHER THAN "DASHING" IT TO MAHAMA'S NDC IN HIGH TAXES, TARIFFS AND PRICE LEVELS.

THE TARGET OF THOSE TARIFFS AND TAXES INCREASES ARE NOT ORDINARY GHANAIANS, BUT THE NPP MILLIONAIRES.

BUT SADLY, WHEN TWO ELEPHANTS CLASH, IT IS THE GRASS THAT SUFFERS!

GHANAIANS WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THIS SHIT IF THEY CONTINUE TO REMAIN THE POLITICAL FOOTBALLS THAT THEY'VE BECOME.

A doctor at an (insane) asylum decided to take his inmates to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going well.
As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up nuts!" And the inmates complied by standing up. After the anthem he yelled, "Down nuts!" And they all sat. After a home run he yelled, "Cheer nuts!" And they all broke into applause and cheers. Thinking things were going very well, he decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned there was a riot in progress. Finding his assistant, he asked what happened. The assistant replied, "Well...everything was fine until some guy walked by and yelled, "GROUNDNUTS!"

What exactly do you understand the word 'waste' to be. Have you ever heard the saying 'cut your coat according to your cloth?' Some people prefer putting it, .... according to your size. One wears extra-large (XL) but his cloth is only half peace. How does he sow a fitting dress for himself? Indulging limited oil funds in so many projects is biting more than we can chew and therefore tantamount to wanton dissipation of state funds. More so, gives room for corrupt practices whereby a chunk of the money is 'shared like groundnuts.'

It 's very sad to note that our leaders lacked wisdom but prevail on pride. And the bible quote pride lies in the heart of fools. Must I say most of our leaders are fools?
Five reasons they are: 1.Posterity is not in their language and they leave for today.
2. They spend their stolen money on prostitutes, called light skinned girls.
3. They invest their money on expensive cars and never drive them.
4. They build mansions and never lived in them but rest in a 6 foot land.
5.They never reason but insults.
When God create people like these to run or manage a country with a gift of black gold. What would you expect them to do with it. unnecessary spending and by the time they realize the black gold is gone and our great grand children would be indebt to the Chinese for decades.
One thing that baffles me is the fact that non of these so called leaders died and be buried with all those riches.

This is the parliament that has behaved irresponsibly, making policies and not ensuring that they are carried out by the letter. When contracts are not carried out on time as a project the institutions to enforce the law against the contractors are themselves corrupt and useless. In the end it costs Ghana more and monies that could have been invested in education, medical care etc. are squandered and the majority today in parliament simply collude with the plan, loot and share brigade so they can have their back-handers in cars, mansions and payment of foreign medical bills while those who put them in power wallow in poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, and dying due to poor medical facilities; the collapse of the nhis, etc.

For the mean time president mahama looks on and every time he opens his mouth either at some church function or addressing the nation which he rarely does, gives us a load of bull shit messages beginning with i have directed, i have instructed, i have decided, i will i will and i will do this and do that and for the mean time fuck all happens while he and his gangsters continue to rip the country off through woyome, waterville, aa automobiles, sada, subah, gyeeda, isofoton, akomfems in the north, tree planting, and now the hideous deal of merchant bank; not to mention the investigation atta mills started on him about the airforce planes bought from brazil which suspiciously coincided with the sudden death of atta mills.

Ghanaians you asked for all this on you and now you have got it.

You have not seen nothing yet. This is why NPP is dying to win the 2016 election. There is no accountability for anything in government and they will share the oil revenue like Pure Water.

Hopefully by the time NPP come to power, there will still be some oil revenue left. Even if there is nothing left, they NPP will investigate all judgement debts from abrogated oil contracts, retrieve those monies and share among themselves like buying Pure Water.

These politicians are hiding behind democracy and looting the state knowing very well that under democracy, no one will face firing squad for squandering state money.

Not for long, the masses will recognize what is going on and start to revolt - come again please, all the likes of JJ Rawlings to save the nation before it becomes ugly, we can't wait any longer.

The incompetent Mahama led criminal brigade and their international crook associates led by the Nigerian Chief criminal adviser, the baboon looking face Obasanjo, has taken the country for granted and using the people and country like any ordinary China made toilet paper.

This makes Pastor Mensah Otabil a prophet when he said, it would been better for Ghana without oil found.

I'm not encouraging a military coup here but I will hugely support any take over by force either by the people's power or by a military under our current social economic hardship which makes a possible take over inevitable as economic crime has become an official institution with criminals arrogantly walking free on state rolled red carpets.

Are we cursed as people and country? No.

WHEN KUFUOR AND HIS NPP WERE BUSY LOOTING GHANA AND "DASHING" GHANA'S LANDED PROPERTIES TO NPP FUNCTIONARIES AND HIS CRONIES, WE NEVER HEARD FROM THESE SO-CALLED AKAN "PROFESSORS".

WHEN KUFUOR BROUGHT IN HIS CRONIES TO FRAUDULENTLY SUPERVISE AND MONITOR HIS SHARE OF GHANA'S OIL WEALTH, WE NEVER HEARD FROM THESE AKAN TRIBAL BIGOTS CALLED PROFESSORS.

WHEN KUFUOR WAS HOPELESSLY HOPPING ON AIRPLANES FROM ONE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER AT POOR TAXPAYERS EXPENSE, THESE FOOLISH PROFESSORS NEVER SAID A THING.

WHAT GHANAIANS SHOULD REMEMBER IS IF KUFUOR AND HIS NPP HAD SET A GOOD LEADERSHIP EXAMPLE, MAHAMA AND OTHER LEADERS WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED SUIT.

TODAY, KUFUOR AND OTHER AKAN TRIBALISTS GO AROUND PREACHING LEADERSHIP VIRTUES, FORGETTING THAT THEY PRACTICED VICE WHEN IT WAS THEIR TURN TO TURN GHANA'S SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AROUND.

THE OIL IN GHANA BELONGS TO NPP & THE PARASITIC NDC POLITICIANS.

GHANA'S OIL DOES NOT BELONG TO GHANAIANS.

THAT'S WHY THEY KILLED THE "DARK HORSE" ATTA-MILLS TO FORCE A BYE-ELECTION WHICH WAS ALSO DISAPPOINTINGLY WON BY ANOTHER CLUELESS CORRUPT HAPPY-GO-LUCKY DADABA LAZY IDIOT.

NPP ARE BITING THEIR FINGER NAILS FOR BRINGING IN OIL FOR OTHERS TO "CHOP", AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL THERE'S A POPULAR REVOLT IN GHANA.

A PLANNED REVOLT NEVER HAPPENED AFTER AFARI-DJAN'S ELECTIONS, SO NPP RESORTED TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR REDRESS ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED AGAIN - THEY WERE "UNLUCKY".

SO THE IDIOT IS STILL STAYING PUT MAINTAINING THE NDC LOOTING STATUS QUO WHILE WISELY INCREASING TAXES AND TARIFFS OF EVERY DAMN THING IN GHANA JUST TO IMPOVERISH THE NPP MILLIONAIRES.

HAVING IMPOVERISHED THE NPP MILLIONAIRES WITH HIGH TAXES AND TARIFFS, THE RICH NDC PEOPLE CAN THEN PERPETUATE THEIR HOLD ON POWER.

THIS IS BECAUSE IN GHANA, MONEY CAN CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN.

IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS POLITICAL EXPLOITATION ARE TOILING ORDINARY GHANAIAN "EMPTY BARRELS" ALWAYS MAKING NOISE AND PRAYING 24/7 FOR "MANNA" FROM HEAVEN, FORGETTING THAT THE DAYS OF "MANNA" BELONGS IN THE BIBLICAL DAYS WHICH ARE LONG GONE.

WHO SAYS MAHAMA IS A FOOL!

MAHAMA KNOWS EXACTLY WHY TAXES AND ENERGY TARIFFS MUST BE INCREASED WILLY-NILLY EVERY FORTNIGHT.

THE TARGET OF THOSE TARIFFS AND TAXES INCREASES ARE NOT ORDINARY GHANAIANS, BUT THE NPP MILLIONAIRES.

All those NDC foolsoldiers must listen and take note. NDC Ministers, heads of Government companies and institutions, Boards of Government entities have one and only one thing in mind, and that is to make money by any means possible and not mostly working for the interest of Ghana. What they do is for any contract that involves the Ghana Government, whatever the contract value is, they will tag on anywhere from 25%-50% as their take, and that is charged to the State. That explains why a GHC24million contract will baloon to 42 million Euroes. These people are hardcore fraudsters and criminals, and majority of Ghanaians are so stupid and insane to continually vote for them.
