Did anyone watch the opening of Bill Clinton Library ceremony? It poured in buckets. Rain shows up suddenly sometimes. I remember the poise and grace of all the past presidents carrying their own umbrellas. Get over this

Ghanaians are very funny people. The president is not made of salt or Sugar. He is not going to dissolve because of rain. By the way, rain is water and we all bath with water. So what is deal if the president gets wet? We occupy ourselves with insignificant things. Man, man, man! What a bunch of petty folks. It is like being in the nursery where kids sung rain rain go away; go and come another day. A rainy day in Ghana and Ghanians complain. Why don't you harvest the water to lessen the water crissis in Accra but let all flow down the drain? Yes it is true the Ghanaian brain has been on sabbatical leave since the ill-fated 24th Feb. 1966 that arrested our economic and industrial development. Nkrumah lives!

Your disgracefully lined up hundreds of kids in the rain in the name of this stupid march past and your only convern is the protection of this useless president. This march past has outlived it's usefulness and should be abolished. We spend too much time on bullsh*t!

mr pepeni kwasea president, continue blaming the innocent and those who can not defend themselves as thats all your bullying buga buga mindset knows . stop the foolishness and fire all those involved in the organization of the event especially since the canopies and other infrastructure was not adapted to suit the occasion . your own ministers were so drenched that most were too disappointed in your sorry ass govt to come back for the gala banquet later that evening . i guess you cant fire those who organised this capital fuck up and incompetence as they are not Akans like vicky hammah or the poor dce you just lynched for tweaaaa, speak the truth aboaba pepeni and maybe God will also forgive you .divine power has beaten with rain and wind this pepeni to make him know he can never escape the wrath of God , he is being punished for his corrupt ways , insensitivity to the ordinary man's needs and selfishness. the spirit of Atta mills and shown these murderers their time is soon up and this fake president can not forever waste our time . God didnt even give him 5 minutes and now they will say ken agyapong or the npp are again to blame for them not being able to enjoy themselves at the expense of the people . anita de sossa will come and claim it was the juju of the Akans that brought the wind and rain yesterday . foolish people these ayigbe and pepeni criminals . commot from there

But it was the president who opened the door for this discussion. Mahama gave the impression yesterday that they were not prepared for the rain because of some late info from the "Meteo" folks. The problem is not so much the rain falling but the lack of preparation for it, which marred the celebration a bit.

After winning an election a newly elected Parliamentarian must leave his constituency and come to Accra the National capital to represent his constituency while at the same time providing feedback to his constituents. In order to represent his or her constituency effectively a parliamentarian should be able to communicate in the language he or she feels most comfortable in. Many parliamentarians come from constituencies where English is not the first language. A parliamentarian may be educated, understand English and belong to one profession or another but would prefer to communicate in the language of his or her constituency.

Parliament must therefore provide interpreters for all the major language blocks. Parliament must also provide earphones so that if one MP is speaking in a different language the other MPs can all understand. Language must not be a barrier to effective repesentation.

Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra is expensive and not every newly elected parliamentarian will have the money to rent a home in the national capital. Each MP must be given an office, a bodyguard and a secretary.

The showers means Ghana got bathtized. No more corruption, tribalism, hate, partisan and selfishness. A one country with one goal to achieve economic independence. Expanding infrastructure manufacturing,education to improve skills and technology. Employment for the unemployed. Corrupted individuals will be brought to justice thru the judicial system.

Coglatulations to the President and People of GHANA on the Occasion of the States 57th Idependence Anniversary.The President's Vision of "Adaptability Towards Climate Change" is a laudable IDEA.

We are quick with our criticism of The Government and insults to Pres. Mahama or Nana Addo. No critical listen to Dr. Paa kwesi and Samia. we enjoy our tribal inferiority and superiority complex without even a thought as to whether ours is pass glory or stereotype. The opposition is doing everything to undo the presidency and the presidency is doing its best to hear no constructive criticism. Well that leaves only the poor man who is treated to a staccato of noise from all manner of people from the radio thus feeding more negative thoughts into their heads. What hope can this perpetual doused flame give Ghana? Nothing. We are an insignificant tribal nation of no vision with our attitude. We only become diehards when it comes to insults and finger pointing but not work not even proper campaign strategies.

'He was, however whisked unto the ARCH, where he delivered his address.' When President renovated the Arch and suggested that all incoming presidents, should use the arch to view and address all parade and any other occasions, the NDC played politics with this WISE suggestion and damned it, assigning it to the dustbin. Now where did that propaganda lead us? NDC try and sometimes listen to advice. Propaganda would not solve our woes.

Robin Hood,

The dwarf woman did not blame her "usual suspects" this time around. She has set her eyes on the meteological services for not predicting the rain on March 6th.

My question for her especially and the government in general is: have they equipped the meteo services with all the necessary tools to function effectively? Knowing that this government steals anything and everything in its path, I wonder if the meteo guys have any working or functioning equipment left.

I watched in utter horror and sadness to see our soldiers and security personnel match in a storm on our 57th Ind. anniversary. I asked myself why after so many years of independence we have not been able to build even one weather proof facility that can cater for events such as this. The answer is simply. As a country we have failed to think ahead and solved problems. It is therefore not strange at all that not one comment on this page has sought to ask questions with the aim of resolving this disgrace nor proffered any solutions. I know that one year from now if there should be another rainstorm, I bet, it will be the same finger pointing, prophetic reasoning, whinning and nagging. This country lacks forward thinking and problem solving citizenry from top to bottom. We need to be serious. The nagging and cry-babying will not bring about solutions that are not far fetched.
We all have to be ashamed of what happened to us that rainy morning on our 57th birthday.

Do not support POLITICAL PARTIES like you support HEARTS or KOTOKO. They are a GROUP OF PEOPLE who claim they can manage AFFAIRS OF THE STATE for you. You pay them for doing that. You must therefore USE YOUR HEAD and NOT YOUR EMOTIONS to ASSESS THEIR PERFORMANCE. By so doing, Their WORK can be FAIRLY ASSESSED. If they do A GOOD JOB, you RETAIN them. If they DON'T you KICK THEM OUT, and if they are found to have COMMITED A CRIME, you PROSECUTE THEM. This is the ONLY WAY our COUNTRY can PROGRESS. Let us also RESPECT and EMBRACE EVERY TRIBE in GHANA; we are STRONGER by so doing. We HAVE everything it takes to MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER. COMMITMENT, HARD WORK and SELFLESSNESS can help us do it. BE FAITHFUL and LOYAL to GHANA. IT is the only place you can be respected and be recognized as a HUMAN BEING, so why can't we MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE for us. I WISH ALL CITIZENS OF GHANA WELL. LONG LIVE GHANA

Showers of blessing indeed! Ghana's 57 years have nothing to show positively; the rains really cleared out the celebration and was to put out the so called perpetual flame to show that there is no freedom in the land.
