the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us . Long live the Republic of Akan

Its a shame too all member of NDC for not making it known to John Mahama that he is not running the government well.
Trade minister Fuseini and Hannah (no office) dont know who the president is, for John Mahama to prove who is the boss overturn the decision made by his ministers to sign EPA. If John Mahama ever have a government ministers wouldnt be saying one thing and the president another. What kind of government is NDC government.

Time and money wasting is what John Mahama does better. Poultry farming to feed the nation is impossible until or less ghana can product grain to feed the nation first.
The frozen chicken imported to ghana are feed from animal remains and chemicals to be ready in three months or less.
If a ghana poultry farmer feed it chicks with pig meat will ghanaians buy it. No, they only eat what they dont know. In saying that if a poultry farm spends 30 cedis to feed a chicken in it life time how much will he sell it for.
John Mahama wants to import poutry feed for ghanaians to farm chickens. What a stupid JM.
Ghana need 20,000 of land to feed 1,000 people with poutry products. On the part of egg production, we have something call battery farming. If ghanaians know what battery farming is they wouldnt buy or eat chicken.
John Mahama let get the grains and factories before even think about farming poutry. Where will this poutry farmer store his product to make money. The farmer has 1000 chicks which will be ready at the same time. Will he sell all at the same time? Yes because he has nowhere to store and nowhere to distribute to.
The biggest risk anybody can put his own money on. Bird flu in ghana is so common all the poutry can die in a day. The farmer would throw them away, he makes sure people buy and eat them with the bird flu.
Why is John Mahama family not more farming maize, its because they is money in stealing than farming. John Mahama dad was once voted the best farmer in northern region. Where is his farming now. As John Mahama dad told him, you leave when the grass is stil green. John Mahama and his family did a runner from farming because no ghanaian can ever live only on farming.
500 people each produce 30 chicken in three months and John Mahama is happy with that.
John Mahama dont know whether he is going or coming. The whole president going to see 10000 chicken farm. Ghanaians are in
millions not thousands; it a shame for not letting his agric minister deal with things like pourtry.
Its cheaper to buy pig and horse fed chicken than producing in ghana. We eat vegetable not birds chicken fed with animals remains.

A Priest in a small rural town was very fond of the ten chickens and handsome rooster he kept in a hen house behind the rectory.

One Saturday night the Priest discovered that the rooster was missing. At the same time the Priest heard rumors of cockfights being held in town.

Shocked and dismayed, he decided to say something during Sunday services. During Mass he asked the congregation, "Who among you will confess to sporting a handsome cock?" All the men stood up.

"No, no" he said. "That's not what I mean. Who among you will confess to having seen a handsome cock?" All the women stood up.

"Oh, no," he said. "That's not what I mean, either.

"Who among you will confess to having seen a cock that doesn't belong to you?" Half the women stood up.

"Oh Lord", he said. "Perhaps I should rephrase the question."

"Has anybody seen my cock?"

All the choir boys stood up.
