They told us ahead of 2012 elections but we never interrogated them thoroughly at the time.

John Mahama's rallying call was "Ede bii keke", which loosely translates as a lazy ass bum who just whiles and wastes away the time. A non-performance govrrnment. We got what we voted for:- inertia, ineptitude, mismanagement, cluelessness and corruption.

Last year, John Mahama said he was at the first gear of his "keke" administration, and boy this year we never even got to second gear, he has put us into reverse gear. Next year he would put us to neutral and in 2016 put us into parking. What a bum! A total flop!!

Sulley Muntari CLINICALLY TREATED Ghana’s serious disease, CORRUPTION. He attacked corrupt NDC'S CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE BUSINESS! !!!--------

Below is what led to the brawl.

Sulley: WHAT IS THE USE OF SOO MANY G.F.A OFFICIALS & OTHERS HERE? You Are Basically Non-Essential and have no role or duties here. Your Number even dwarf that of the players... You receive Bonuses for no work done. You are a drain on the Govt.... You always make money on our back and you see every Tournament as a means to make money.... And You Have The Vim to question us why we want our money?

Moses Armah: Your money will come take time, the captain is speaking….

Sulley: Shut up, are you the one paying the money or you are the Prez?

Moses Armah: I won’t allow you to include me in your list of victims oo…..I'm a gangster more than you.

Sulley: So you can fight me eh (moving towards Moses’ direction disentangling himself from other guys retraining him).

Moses Armah: Am ready for you. You think i'm a coward?

Sulley: (picks a bottle and drop it, surprisingly jumps and slaps Moses) Fuck you!!

Moses: Returns the slap with a blow lifts a fork…and Jonathan Mensah holds Moses’ hand up.

Essien sits quietly, Gyan and Appiah speak Ga to Sulley, calming him down as Moses is whisked away by Saban Quaye

A lot of what happens in Ghana sounds too childish to the average Londoner.
A visit to Ghana can be a very depressing experience. Nothing works or can be relied on to work on time or faultlessly.
And people just accept it and will vote for another 4 years of the same hardship in exchange for just a T-shirt.

I wonder if the zongo boys can make differences from their thinking as considering Nana's "WHY" analysis. Zongo boys are our problems just us their name can be suggested and to make everything right, I hope we can prepare them to think before they act to be sure of them applying thought in decision making. We can also avoid their dirty comment as we will have a positive comment. Zongo boys can barely make use of common sense and the point Nana is making here is that you can't expect them to do objective introspection. We need to push up their free education to balance them with everything. For me, the question is not only "why" but "how". How can we allow such a binbilla president from the fact that "Pepeni Born Ayedge" lack common sense?

You call the fastest growing economy in the world left by the NPP "a mess"? Why then was the NDC boasting about this fastest growing economy only two years ago? Just admit it, your Party has messed up big time in spite of having ruled Ghana for 32 years (P/NDC) out of its 57 years of existence. It has proved that it knows next to nothing about how to run an economy.

ku4 and his npp's removal of the "GYE NYAME" symbol from our currency when changing our old strong cedi to the current weak cedis, attributed to the weakness of the cedi. even the almighty Americans know the significance and importance of GOD to their economy hence they have the inscription " IN GOD WE TRUST" on their currency. why should ku4 and his looting brigade be so wicked to remove what represents GOD on our currency? if they did not like the "GYE NYAME" symbol because it was jj Rawlings who embossed that on our currency, what prevented them from replacing that symbol with a different symbolto represent GOD? because of the wicked and satanic agenda of this busia-danquah tradition, Ghana will never go forward as expected. they are just destructive and vindictive.

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave.
Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."

Ghana is a country that claims to be a christian nation and yet full of liars, I wonder what the missionaries are teaching. One don't need to be told that Pres Mahama is clueless and can't manage the economy of Ghana, Ghana is too old for this trial & error procedures, we need a leader who understand the principles of Governance. Its just like putting a fresh medical graduate in an operating theater to perform a major surgery, when complications arise he/she will become clueless which could be fatal, that is the actual state of Ghana now, this President is better for to manage a ministry, We don't need party politics, we need individuals with the right vision to drive us forward.

People like NDC THIEF are either illiterates or fuctional illiterates. They can read and write but they can not think logically. They believe they are educated but their IQ is that of an illiterate. It does not matter what type of qualifications I have or not. I am not aspiring to be President. Nana wants to be President of Ghana so he must tell us what he is. He says his certificate got missing. Let assume it is true, then he should go to the law school where he attended and receive a copy. In any civilized society one can always obtain a copy of his professional certificate. Go to the internet and read Nana`s CV and he does not mention where he studied Law but mentioned where he attended elementary school. This is not a question of NDC, CPP,PNC, PPP etc. We do not want a criminal to be our President. Is it not very easy for Nana just to show us his law certificate. Let Nana be elected as the candidate and most of us will demand to see his certificate. When the Vice-President was accused of not having a Masters degree in Economics, he went to the University of Ghana and collected his certificate so the accusation ended. Nana please do the same if you are not a quack and FAKE lawyer.

Under the Mahama led NDC gov't, every gain that the country chalked in the lead up to 2008 has been eroded. All the human development indices as well as good governance measures have all assumed a life of their own heading for the boondocks, indeed, heading absolutely for the pits.
The economy is a nightmarish mess, the security situation is akin to the jihadist wonderland of Iraq where life and property has become worthless with no protection, the educational system which the Mahama led NDC gov't promised us quality, is anything but quality. GETFUND is in arrears, Publishers of Atlases have not being paid, caterers in the school feeding program have not been paid, chalk for teaching in our classrooms have become a very scarce commodity and highly expensive, like rare cut of blue diamond. The unemployment situation is in the absolute pits, businesses are losing their competitive edge and collapsing shop, redundancy is on the ascendancy further escalating the unemployment bulge in the country.
The utility service provision in the country is so backward reminiscent of a bygone era, even whilst utility prices continue to appreciate astronomically. Health care delivery is a total mess, the environment and sanitation situation is blindly grotesque, serving as vectors of preventable diseases such as malaria and cholera.
And in the midst of all these, funds that should have been earmarked to address these challenges by some create, loot and share activities find their way into the hands of the Mahama led NDC gov't and it's cronies, eg, SADA, Gyeeda, Subah, and the most recent, the doling out of a staggering amount of close to almost $1million dollars in the NPA-rent saga, which amount could have built an edifice benefitting the NPA as it's offices, with no value for money. The clear case of mismanagement and a huge propensity to benefit on the back of hardworking Ghanaians was what was on display in Brazil which led to the Black Stars crushing out of the Mundial, after the players had put in a lot of effort to stake a place and leave a name in the Mundial.
Ghana is reeling from the wanton acts of impunity and visionless leadership which has plunged the masses into a state of despondency and unbridled hardships under the Mahama led NDC gov't, and from all indications, Ghana needs a new direction, a renewed sense of purpose and a clear vision to pull itself out of the stagnant quagmire in which the Mahama led NDC gov't has supplanted the country and this calls for a massive voting out of the statusquo which breeds all that is wrong, all that is bad, all that is reckless, all that is unacceptable in Ghana today. Ghana deserves the best.

Ghanaian/African politicians are funny people,.....consider this; you need money for development projects so you decide to go to the international bond market to issue bonds. But just before you go to the markets, guess what? The same guys who are to buy these bonds suddenly downgrade you as a country from B1 to B2. What this means is that whereas as B1 you could sell your bonds at maybe 8% the B2 means we now have to sell at 8.5% or 9%. Which issuing a $US1Bn on a ten year bond can add an extra $12,500,000 in interest payments. And the worst part of it our politicians jump on these useless gradings and try to gain political mileage out of it, giving it all the credence it ill deserves. My humble advise to Uncle Seth is to give the Chinese what they want and go for the 3 Billion on offer and screw these Western Banks, which continue to take us for fools!!!

“it seems whatever the President touches turn into dust". I second the 'motion'. Mahama is "ACHAN"-the accursed thing for Ghana. He needs to vacate the Presidency so that Ghana will have FREEDOM.

Ha! ha! AKUFO-ADDO,If you have been around for a long time and you have not seen this happenings before, makes you see that, ""we as a nation is in an era of retrogression"" really makes a sad reading because someone like you who wants to lead a country growing in bounds while using the same amenities as we were almost forty years ago when you were playing politics.
Since when have we as a country tried to upgrade there things that give us water, eletricity and many others apart from what we all know of since Nkrumah"s time.
It is just a pity that someone like AKUFU-ADDO who wants to be a leader can not even know that what he is saying does not add up. Yet knowing that his followers who can not think as himself will cry and sing with him this a sick mans meaning.
If we want to know the truth, and talk the truth we must first think of what we are to put across that will make sense.
It is also a pity that in our society an old can not say anything foolish so what ever is put out by such old fools are bought as right.
Let us as a people stand up and be reflecting on what is really going on because some people failed the system along time ago and now is the time to find the remady to solve the problem.
Our economy is growing and we don"t have the infacture base to support such a growing economey.

Nana Akufo-Addo has become a typical political animal and with that has lost all intellectual honesty that comes with being principled.
I dare anyone in the NPP and or NDC to provide a year or time span in Ghana’s history since 1966 where Ghana ever had balanced revenue against expenditures? In the 20+ years the mighty killer J.J. Rawlings led Ghana we lived on borrowed times. The 8-yeras Kufour and the NPP administration in Ghana added more debt and officially christened Ghana as a beggar nation by signing on to HIPIC. Ghana has always been a beggar nation even as those classroom educated clowns for our leaders lived like kings over miserable subjects. Where was Akufo-Addo and others when no one had the common sense to look to cheaper viable and alternate sources of electricity? Was Akufo-Addo day dreaming when the government expanded government payrolls by adding a decentralized, rural and urban planning and development scheme that has yielded any measurable benefits except give another tools for political appointments? Where were Nana Akufo-Addo and all of the so-called party of Ghana's intellectuals, NPP, when this childish constitution was put together that gave all powers to the executive branch?
Preaching to a bunch of classroom educated but uncultured group of Ghanaians in the UK who have seen no money they will not seek and any sacrifice they are willing to make for mother Ghana is a divisionary tactic befitting of tribal rabble rousers. Preaching to a bunch of hypocrites may make Nana-Akufo-Addo feel at home; yes they understand and operate under tribal and political party loyalties but neither will solve problems in Ghana. Most have completed their post graduate studies while others have acquired all the skills and experiences needed to return home to help a comatose Ghana but choose to live outside Ghana because they prefer lives of comfort over sacrifice. Some of these very people would buy used/second hand clothing and outdated devices and appliances for sale in Ghana for obscene profits while knowing good and darn well Ghana does not have appropriate rules and regulations and or the proper capacity for the ultimate disposal of those things they dump on Ghana. Akufo-Addo needs to preach to Ghanaians at home who live the life if he has the power of persuasion on his side and the eloquence to deliver and walk citizens through his own record and that of others.

Sending the country backwards? Akufo Addo had the bloody nerves to talk so lose after holding the Nation in ransom for 8 good months on a stupid and senseless mission of election appeal. The fool will never learn to be wise. Does Akufo Addo and the NPP know how much dearly the ego trip has caused Ghana economically, socially and psychologically for which we have to deal with. How long has His Excellency President Mahama has ruled Ghana minus the 8 months of Akufo Addo's nonsense.

Guess what , NPP are rejoicing at What they cannot conjecture. If they truly had eyes to clearly see the strategy at play they will all have deserted the country. If you think somebody is blind and the fellow is not heeding your wise counsel from falling into a ditch and he is not minding you although he has clearly heard please do some soul searching. Either you cannot be trusted or he knows better than you. Can Nana concentrate on winning genuine Election than depending on lies and propaganda. You took the entire nation to court that elections were rigged hoping they will reverse victory in your favor. What a fake lawyer . have you ever seen or heard anywhere? The time, money and national confidence wasted through such a reckless venture could have sent us somewhere. But God willing you and your cohorts shall never see the promised Land.
