NKWASEAFO BI NTI GHANA IS SICK!!! THE CEDI HAS ALREADY DIVED DEEP DOWN!!!!!!!------ WE NEED NANA'S WISDOM. HIS LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS. WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!!!

Shut the fuck up Prince. What can this ugly nana do? You keep rattling about nana, nana. Nana is a frog looking man, very arrogant, has no any qualifications and has nothing to show for as his track record. Kufour stole our money and bought himself a hotel, used state funds to renovate his house and took so much of Ghana's oil to himself. These are two greedy personalities without any integrity. The npp, (Narcotics Peddlers Party) has nothing to offer mother Ghana than to steal more of our money and by the Grace of God, will never come to power in Ghana's live time. So STOP dreaming.

Look at the face of this so called minister of trade and you see this is a brainless idiot the kind the Europeans like . Did he ever consider how long it takes a country to become member of the EU , some countries took over 2 decades yet pepeni and his bunch of idiots think they can achieve what now ? Does he realize that Turkey though been negotiating for over 2 decades still can not pass and become a member of the EU. You are talking here of a Europe with a population of over half a billion highly educated extremely devious opportunistic cold hearted exploiters . Since vasco da gama we seem to have forgotten our experiences and especially the bond of 1844 not to mention the underlying fact every time was that our people we not ready for such agreements and the same is today . in all our poverty the one thing we still have is our people and our own market. look at what trade has done to our poultry farms and their dumping prices in recent times . this trade will most definitely lead to starvation especially those in the north make my words. this attitude of chop today and forget tomorrow govt is a vicious circle that will destroy the future of our children . see how they have freely dumped their electronic waste and toxic radiation in certain parts of the country so people everywhere are dying of cancer . even the Chinese had the good sense to negotiate that anything they wanted to sell in china had to be produced in china with at least a 50% local content but our idiots are rushing because they have been bribed into compliance with a pittance . publish what they want to have signed and we will prove all the negativeness and the consequences . such an agreement should not be signed without a referendum , no way .

The cleaning must continue unabated.

Dear Dr Apaak:With the CID investigations,we should expect some TOUGH CONSEQUENCES.The Nation is tired of being tired.I know of some Customs Officials that live in Huge Mansions,some with 4 to 5 Vechiles in their driveways...all on their wages.

Some of us still remember Anas' Report on "TEMA HARBOUR".In his summary,he informed Ghanaians that
"the money that channels
through TEMA alone can
feed the entire Nation.

Our lack of seriousness in prosecuting
those who continue to STEAL from the State,will continue to stifle our progress as a Nation.

Our institution of Corruption,as a Race,is morally wrong and sinful.It must be taken seriously and UPROOTED

Else our children and their children
will live in the so-called 3rd World
in the 22nd Century...perhaps,forever.

...And Ghana continues to see itself
as a God-fearing country?

Mr Prince Kwasi Adade are you really serious by calling Nana our political Messiah. Please tell me what Nan has achieved in life. Nana has no public servant experience, Nana was a flop both as Minister of Justice and Foreign minister. He was replaced as Attorney General because he could not deliver. As foreign minister, diplomatic Passports in the safe at his office disappeared into thin air. Later his brother in law a criminal was found in possession of one of these passports. Nana cannot proof that he studied law. He cannot show us a copy of his law certificate. Nana cannot tell us where he studied law and then name a few law school classmates. So what is special in this CRIMINAL Nana. Nana cannot deny that he is on drugs. This tribalistic NPP attutude will not work. Nana will never be President of Ghana because Ghanaians are neither stupid nor insane to elect a criminal as their President. Prince keep on dreaming.

Since the Mahama led non performing government came to power, I'm yet to hear a day that the government is bold to say we have taken action on this and have achieve this or that. NEVER!

Everyday it is about we will do this and that which is never done to the satisfaction of the curious Ghanaian.

Shockingly a commission of inquiries was set up investigate some malpractices against the state. The commission competently accomplished its mission before the deadline with recommendations for prosecution of those involved, do any sensible President have to set up yet another commission for implementation or take action straight on the first commission's findings?

I can't believe we sit here as helpless 24 million clever people and yet have an idiot leading and twisting facts to protects criminals with impunity taking the whole people for granted.

This Custom officials issue came up since last year and yet the government is still finding it difficult to send the criminals to court for prosecution. We know Woyome, SADA, Abuga Pele's GYEEDA and all the stinky Mould Iddrisus/Barton Oduros settlement deals have political cover ups from the Presidency and no problem as a day shall surely come for them all.

But for now, who is covering these unscrupulously unpatriotic custom officials, the factory owners and their foreign collaborators?

Mr President this is not about your criminally naughty half brother Ibrahim to be silence to cover up.

Any action now or should we take it that under your leadership criminals are the ones to be protected and worship as its unfortunately happening in Ghana today?

All custom officials should be prosecute. These people are cunningly, destroying Ghana with their unrelenting and unpardonable stealing from the nation. The government should set up a committee for people to come and report to them about custom officials. Yes I am acting crazy because these people are living beyond their means and must be investigate.

Revenues going into individual pocket, is stopped, can wean us off the borrowing spree we do embark upon. Mahama said sometime ago that the nation loses over a One hundred million dollars a month at the ports so, why can't the leaders stop such huge leakage and divert the revenue into the national purse?

What do we fear about these custom officials? Are they from an alien planet who cannot be replaced? For a nation like Ghana to lose One hundred million a month, should send warning that something is not right.

I think the steps being taken by the president should not be seen with "partisan political binoculars". The long arm of the law must be cracked heavily with any fear or favor.

That is what happens when public servants build mansions and drive in expensive cars and the society accepts their wealth and revere them.So many public servants lead lifestyles far above their incomes and nobody borders to question their expensive lifestyles.Auditors are colluding with staff of the Accountant General's Department and other civil servants controlling government spending to steal trillion of cedis belonging to the state and nothing is done to them.There are so many CEPS officers who join the establishment just to make money at the expense of the state.This impunity must be stopped.Corrupt public officers must be prosecuted,jailed and their assets confiscated and their names and photographs published for all to see.Corruption in the public service is largely responsible for the dire financial situation the nation finds itself in now.This should not be allowed to continue.
