Majority of Ghana's politicians are nothing but thieves. No wonder the country is in a big mess. Bad leadership gives rise to bad governance.

Let's put the blame where it belongs...incompetence, indecisiveness, visionless and appalling lack of true leadership is the cause of Ghana woes. When you surround yourself with lazy, inept, selfish & money-minded people, who've accomplish absolutely nothing substantial, Ghana will continue to spiral out of control. Mahama wasted no time firing Vicky for just bluffing, he can take a bolder step getting rid of the oppresive wolves in his administration who are not only under performers but are downright corrupt & greedy.

2000 years of Akan glorious history can not be replaced by 50 just because ndc , nkrumah pepeni and ayigbe criminals say so or want it so. Today i listen to my psalms , hymns and war songs by bob marley and 2pac just like David who composed for the Israelis so remain inspired. i look out of my window and count myself blessed that i have not fallen prey to these fake prophets and priests whose only aim is to collect collection more than 10 times during a service but have the clarity of mind to meditate alone and offer thanks to God. What ever they say i know its the opposite , if they say look right you better quickly closely observe whats happening on the left. the say the economy is grown then you must know its a disaster , they say they are working on fixing the economy , know for sure they are only stealing , infighting now they have marginalized all influence of the Akans the pepeni and ayigbe crminals are now looking to eliminate each other , they say they have found new investors know they have discovered new ways to exploit and channel our money away. they say our women are short and ugly but look at the stinking rats and vulture they can women in their tribes and you you will know ours are the most beautiful in the world . they say they want cooperation but they are only looking to rubbish or steal good projects . they say they want the well-being of the ordinary man but in reality they only want to line their pockets with money and push the Akan further into poverty . they say they want an all inclusive govt but know they just want cement northern and ayigbe domination with their slave tribes like the Gas and some foolish brainwashed brongs , ashantis , fantis assisting them. they say they are evaluating ministers and other appointees but it is now a battle between the ayigbe and the pepeni to reduce the number of ayigbe since the Akans are all already irrelevant in their govt although we are the majority in this land . everywhere you go you find pepeni vultures looking over the carcass of Ghana and tearing out the flesh of wealth for their own greedy selfish selves . they are comfortable now as the critical mass of the people still think things will get better little do they know its beyond repair and can only be remedied with an organized uprising of the Akan. the npp seems to be cleaning house and thanks to ken agyapong most likely true fighters will emerge who will not throw in the towel like nana addo did just before the true battle starts due to cowardice. yes we are ready and will never surrender to these thieves and criminals , long live the republic of Akan

Talk is indeed cheap. The real problem facing Ghana is not about leadership but the craving for power by those who don't have it. Instead of helping the leader to succeed, most of us rather prefer to confuse the leader and create the impression that there is a crisis as if we will be having another election just next week.
Nobody can take away from him his achievements in life, but but we all know Prof Adei has been in leadership positions before and there was nothing extraordinary about him There were even cases where he was "sacked". But because his party is not in power and his shrewd cravings for his party to be in power, he is now pontificating as if he knows something extraordinary about leadership which nobody else knows.
Reflecting over governance of Ghana over the past 57 years as an independent country, we can see clearly that those of the elite in society who lead the business of bitterly criticising an incumbent government mainly do so to sow seeds of disaffection in the people as a way to get rid of the government for them to take over.
From Nkrumah to Mahamah, because of the political ambitions of those who were not privileged to be in power, our leaders have been demonised to make them look like bad leaders. We only recognise their good leadership qualities when they are off the scene.
I am sure if Prof Adei was privileged to become president today, there are not too many things he would do differently and even the few that he would do differently would not bring any dramatic change of fortune for Ghana.
The business of national development is a slow process that requires sacrifices and the cooperation from all otherwise, the process will even be slower irrespective of who leads.

I don't see any indication of Party affiliation in what Analyst said and what he said could have come from even you and you'd be right.Prof.Adei's admonition ,BTW,is also very sensible,because it is based on the reality on the ground, and once again it is irrelevant what his Party affiliation is.But like Analyst is saying we're spending so much wasteful time and energy playing dirty politics whiles the burning issues of true national development continually get overlooked.Kitty, there is everything wrong with the current political dispensation in Ghana.It is not about who is in power at any time t or any moment m.Do you think things would be different if the NPP were in power?No.It would just be a matter of different players but the same game plan and it's ramifications.That is what I believe Analyst bemoans here.We need to lift up our politics as a people,us all together.Politics for stupid politics' sake is the worst that can happen to a nation.Politricks is what that amounts to and that is destructive.Real human beings with real needs are at stake.Why play games with it?

Prof Adei should know and understand that it is easily said than done. I really see this mindset of comments coming from many Ghanaians who think and see themselves as people who hold positions and know all hence stay back and accuse and do nothing.

Most of the people with the so called I KNOW ALL MINDSET only look at their degrees they hold, and honestly never approach any sitting government or opposition or initiate anything that could help better our national economy.

They show up stupidly only to accuse sitting government depending on their party affiliation, thinking to win the minds of the suffering public that they are with them, just to gain public support that they are good people politically.

This mindset of others including Prof Adei ought to stop and choose to either keep quiet or seriously get involve in helping to get situations brought under control for our national betterment.

Stop your accusations of government and help provide solution for the public you are ''crying wolf'' for. Prof Adei, please learn a character of being a genuine patriotic ctitzen from Dr Nii Moi Thompson, the economist who had offered himself to help find solution to our national problems. Stop staying on the touchline and play actively play the ball or stop saying things which will only inflame things and present the leadership as a bad one.

I hope this makes your day. It made my day.
During one of NDC’s robbery of Ghana’s consolidated funds, the serial thieves shouted to the stupefied Ghanaians: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the country laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, John Mahama, the younger robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! I will fuck you when I go to secure my loot in Dubai!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the NDC robbers returned home, John Mahama (Soviet trained and CVless) told Wayome, the older robber (who has only completed Stealing Engineering in a technical school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

Wayome rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience.” Under NDC, smartness in stealing is more important than paper qualifications!

After the NDC Looting Brigade has taken their share, the public servants in charge of national coffers told the Ministers to call the police quickly. But the Ministers said to them: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The Ministers say: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that Ghc5 billion was taken from the bank. John Mahama & Wayome counted and counted and counted, but they could only count Ghc 2 billion. John Mahama & Wayome were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took Ghc 2 billion. The Ministers and Public servants took Ghc 3 billion with a snap of their fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a plain president thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The Ministers and Public Servants are smiling and happy because their losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!

dear readers, can you see the difference between what prof. adei is saying and what the so called Mr Akwasi Oppong-Fosu, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development said. just read the article again and you can see how politicians can twist a a good argument. the minister never addressed prof's issue rather he was singing the chorus of an old statement of gov't will do this, gov't has done this gingle. i strongly believe that prof should refer the minister to a tutorial to enable him change his attitude as his approach to issues sound very weak and ignorant.he never answered anything about the v8 vehicle prof was mentioning. did the minister listened to prof's address note?

nobody can rule a country like ghana with many people having management degrees but knowing little management. A country that produces almost nothing and dependent on ''buying and selling'' and other services. Almost not engineering and manufacturing activities to support the economy.

Bad leadership, bad leadership, bad leadership, an NPP propaganda, battle cry and slogan. Every NPP member has been assigned what to say and when to say it. A synchronized effort to achieve a common purpose--- to make NDC government unpopular. Too many professors with political ambitions are being drawn into the game. It is not news that these NPP people are doing everything to sabotage the government of NDC. They are digging their own graves because they stand exposed. Ghanaians know NPP very well.
