MAHAMA AND HIS CORRUPT NDC MUST TELL US WHAT EXACTLY THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE MASSIVE $20 BILLION THEY HAVE BORROWED IN JUST THE LAST 5 YEARS, IF HE IS SAYING,HE HAS NOT BORROWED FOR DRINK AND MERRY MAKING, WHICH MEANS CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE. HOW COULD YOU STEAL MONEY BELONGING TO THE POOR CHILDREN STRUGGLING TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREETS, DRIVE PAST THEM AND HAVE A LAUGH???---- GHANAIANS MUST WAKE UP!! OUR FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK. WE CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS. BAWUMIA HAS ADMONISHED NDC AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN. NDC HAS RATHER VOWED TO BORROW MORE TO PLUNGE GHANA INTO MASSIVE DEBT. HABA! NDC.
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!!!8

It's only in Ghana can a sitting president be so downright corrupt to the core & all his fraudulent activities exposed broad daylight & still be allowed to govern the nation. Mahama apparently don't have Ghana's interest in his heart & don't value having a good image as president. Too many scandals surrounding this administration that need not be ignored, but then again, I guess both NDC & NPP are both corrupt & therefore, tolerating corruption as part of our culture.

With all due respect, I take this opportunity to caution my fellow Ghanaians, against the tendencies of acting on little knowledge.

As a kid in Ghana my mother used to remind me that; a little knowledge was more dangerous than no knowledge at all,-- whenever I acted on insufficient facts, and experience.

The new pressure group, Ghanaians for Better government must cease and desist from misleading Ghanaians.

The president, and his brother have not acted improperly; or have they acted in their personal interests.

They are only acting in the best interest of our beloved Great Ghana.

A disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with any political party in Ghana.

However, as a true son of Ghana with the advantage of the knowledge in this matter; I feel compelled to help set the record straight.

To reiterate:

Neither the president nor his brother have done anything shady in this matter.

The US led sanctions against Iran do not include gold transactions.

The big picture is therefore given by the ensuing scenarios.

If the government of Ghana sends gold to Iran as a gift, and Iran in turn gives Ghana oil as a gift; what is wrong with this picture?

NOTHING!

If the government of Ghana sells the oil that it receives as a gift from Iran; what's wrong with this picture?

NOTHING!

Under the US led sanctions against Iran, the country can sell the gold that it receives from Ghana.

Question:

If Iran sells the gold that she receives from the government of Ghana; has letter or the spirit of the US led sanctions against Iran been violated?

Of Course NO!

The president is helping Ghana, while at the same time strengthening our bilateral relationship with the oil rich Persian nation.

This is a savvy view of international relations. It is also good governance and policy.

It sends the message that, Ghanaians will not throw their friends under the bus, in tough times.

I therefore urge the new pressure group to educate itself properly before it needlessly starts crying: CORRUPTION!

Come to think of it: Dr Sekou Nkrumah started painting the atmosphere of corruption around this creative transaction by the president, and his brother, -- that was made in the best interest of Ghanaians.

I sincerely urge my fellow honorable Ghanaians to equip themselves with knowledge, and not to allow themselves to be misled by people who have nothing to offer them.

May Lord Almighty continue to bless our beloved Great Ghana:
Amen!!!

This is a joint venture business owned by the President and his brother. This unfolding news is a big scandal. Let's get the flying manifest through a subpoena and match it to the President travels for the last twelve months and you will see how vast this scandal is.

Wherever Mahama has been, this plane has not been far behind. How much has this government paid his brother for leasing this plane? The Parliamentary select committee on Aviation should start investigating this scandal.

I am a visionary man and l can see Mahama as a Satanist, evil and wicked but many Ghanaians are hypocrites. Once you are bold enough to tell the truth people may stand against you but l don't care because the truth is once that is all.

That is the Govt of Family and friends, wofase, Enuanum, mekromni, me nmaa. At least he has not yet packed the Govt with half brothers, inlaws,uncles, nephews, cuisines etc. President Mahama needs to get Ibrahim off his back now and move ahead while there is still time. Else he would go the way of Kuffour on whose trips abroad you could find a plane load of hangers on all claiming affinity to the president or his wife. This must not happen, else 2020 would be difficult for the NDC.

You cannot compare mahama to kufour in any means. Mahama killed human being to become the president of Ghana. Besides what kufour did if we gave Mahama 20 years to rule he cannot perform any one of them. Think twice you fool.

What if the plane carries gold to Iran? Is it a crime to sell gold to Iran? The npp has started this foolish propaganda which will surely cause them again. Those who are behind these foolish propaganda are doing the party a big diservice. If they think Ghanaians are fools to buy into such stupidity, then they are mistaken. Not even the economics would change their mind, how much more such rubbish! Who is Teiko in the npp? A guy who can not write his own name? Npp, please come on! Don´t be stupid! Wise up and tell Ghanaians what you are going to do when elected! Stop this rubbish!

Are you calling these happenings rubbish?????. I feel so sad for you if you are a Ghanaian. What is happening in this country is not a matter of NPP or NDC but the government. Please for national interest let's separate party from government.

Ibrahim Mahama could not even pay a loan of $50m but could now have enough to buy the bank that lent him the loan and buy a private jet all on the eve of his brother becoming president???? And you blame it on NPP??? Please come on!!!!

NPP dont need to tell Ghanaian what they can do. We already know what the NPP can do and there's no need they repeating it. let's talk about what is happening now and leave the NPP campaign message to them when the time comes. Are you really happy with what is happening considering the corruption going on in the country???? Talking about GYEEDA, SUBA, TEEDA, CUUBA and the rest??? Ghana is bleeding and as a full blooded ghanaian, i feel so sad!!!!

So what happened to plane load of Ashanti gold discovered in Turkey that was bound for Iran at onset of President Mahama,s presidency? All is quiet on our home front on this one.
Oh yes and the came the story the sale of a Merchant Bank. Ghana we need Akufo-Addo and the NPP yesterday if only you dare to understand what is happening to Ghana. Oh and what is his name again? Atuguba? You guessed right.

How long has the Asante hene been traveling covered in gold but back wearing suit? you can't say right? even if Mahama wants to repair Ghana Airways and load it with oil and gold and sell in Uganda, that is his business, allow the guy some slack. What efforts have you made as individuals to help the country? Shut your big mouths. This regime is by far better than all the NPP regimes put together, You heard!!!
