Yea though we walk through the valley of pepeni death we shall fear no ayigbe evil for the Lord stands by the children of Akan and Israel always . We shall forever remain blessed and despite the trials and tribulations served to us by this aboaba kwasea pepeni and murderous intent of the ayigbe we shall triumph. No matter what they do victory shall be ours for God has most certainly made them blind so they lack any wisdom and see no solutions . These pagan ungodly souls have lied and stolen from us on a daily basis but their days are surely numbered . Somebody quickly remind them i am still waiting in vain to be arrested or see the effects of their juju which they promised because we told our people to prepare for revolution and war . Today its clear the pepeni have armed themselves so we also begin to arm ourselves against these criminals, if you can not buy a licensed gun then make sure you sharpen your cutlasses well and keep them well polished and oiled . pepeni has appointed his incompetent criminal friends , family and tribesmen into various positions of state , little do they know that its not about building empty meaningless careers but they should know its a duty to serve the interests of the people and seek the well-being prosperity of all citizens regardless of stature , religious affiliation , ethnic background , age or gender . They plan and scheme to steal our oil and any wealth we are able to create. they work to systematically destroy even the basic family unit by try to thrush down our throats perverse gay homosexual values as being the ideal .They do not see the beauty of the unity in diversity of the various tribes of Akan rather they encourage and facilitate conflict amongst ourselves but it will not work as our people are now more sophisticated than that as no one is blind to their divide and rule tactics except the few idiots who think they build a political career in the oligarchy which has now crossed over into all parties . Be strong and vigilant oh children of Akan as our day draws nigh . long live the republic of Akan

When you elect a president from a party that was formed by a criminal, and the president himself a history major at the University, this is exactly the outcome you should expect.

Yes we know Mahama's penultimate education is shallow and wobbly but then one head does not constitute a counsel, the whole NDC apparatus is a sham with no core principles and ideology except to come and help themselves freely on the wealth others have created. The party runs on propaganda and empty slogans. Unfortunately they are able to do that because majority of our people are functionally illiterate and do not vote according to informed opinion on the issues. How else this useless NDC could have been voted again into power. Ede be keke idiots!

You keep getting violently abused whenever you vote for NPP or NDC but you seem not to have learnt your lesson! Get out of the "abused wife syndrome!" You have the power to break the cycle. Just bring in the party that BUILT Ghana, created industries and assets, free education, schools, hospitals, farms...You can see all this but you choose to go back to the person who slaps and beats you and even steal from you all the time! Why?

NDC and NPP are 2 sides of the same coin. Two armed robbers in different clothing. Don't believe their lies! The CPP knows how to build and run a country. We have the blueprint left to us by the Liberator / Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. Bring back CPP to reverse the situation and build up the economy again. Free yourself from LOOTERS - NPP and NDC, and vote in BUILDERS - CPP. Vote for WORK and HAPPINESS in 2016!

Listen to this fool, economic slow down all over where? I used to ask myself why the Ewes and some Northerners keep defending the NDC even as we are heading for a free fall. Now I've found the answer. It is because they don't produce anything and so they have nothing to lose. No wonder Mahama is urging Akans to let their children quit school to help increase the production of cocoa.

There are more to come. In a country where by a gov't in power can not manage a Guinea fowl project, what make you think that it can manage and sustain such big economy like Ghana. Look every where you go there is a DECLINE in water, electricity, roads to transport goods and service, health care, schools, education as a whole, the price index of commodities have increase due to demand of water, and high price electricity bills. This is the most useless gov't I have ever seen in my life time, since been on this earth for four decades.

The solutions to Ghana's problems have been dangling before every administration-be it NDC or NPP; and yet the situation gets worse every year due to globalization and global economic shocks. What the country needs to do to reduce the impact of global economic shocks are three-fold: diversify both the economy and the country's export portfolio; embark on a massive processing and manufacturing drive; and finally desist from selling the bulk of Ghana's natural resources on the global market. The chunk of the natural resources should be processed before they are sold on the international market. Processed goods value more, attract more foreign exchange, enhances indigenous technology, creates avenues for patents for Ghanaian inventors and creates jobs in the process.

Diversified economies are more resilient and can weather global economic shocks unlike agrarian economies like Ghana and those of most African countries. Manufacturing also creates jobs due to its inherent multiplier effect and also strengthens local currencies. From time immemorial the problems besieging previous governments in Ghana-irrespective of the party at the helm of affairs (NDC or NPP) have faced unemployment, less vibrant economies, weak local currencies and other economic hardships. Step up to the plate and bring economic relief to the country!

Taking those three steps could take care of the current economic problems facing the country. It is not an NDC or NPP problem but a national problem that should be dealt with by all!

The did not want what President John Kuffour had taken Ghana and wanted eyi bee Government it is beeeeee and I care for you Government.Companies are laying off more staff as a means of surviving the harsh and unfriendly business environment currently prevailing in the country.

The thing is that NDC just saw most Ghanaians are BIG FOOLS and they just wanted to win with FALSE HOPES when they know they dont have the men and it takes to SOLVE Problems. This is the result we are seeing.

Ghanaians dug their own grave with NDC so they should be prepared to Get Rawlings Chain. This is GHANAIANS wanted and we getting it.
