HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS & FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAVE GRIPPED MANY IN GHANA TODAY.
GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY THESE NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,BRAZIL WORLD CUP SCANDAL, FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!

Kotoka, afrifa etc were the ones who defied constitution and staged a coup.today, his name graces our international airport. You don't think this is having any psychological impacts on what has become of Ghana?

You mean the Kotoka who sold Prime Minister Lumumba of Congo to the murderous American CIA backed African mutineers who were opposed to the true liberation of the Congo and Africa?

In any case what war are you talking about? There is a vast difference between Peace-Keeping, coups d'etat and wars. The fact that a soldier may carry a gun anywhere at anytime does not mean that he is involved in a war.

As far as I am concerned, neither the state of Ghana nor our military have ever been involved in a war before. So Kotoka's dirty name could not have been appended on our disgraced airport for any acts of heroism on account of an imaginary war that you may have dreamed about. In trying to lie to cover up for that treacherous rat, you have betrayed your dangerous ignorance.

Kotoka was a treacherous two-timing filthy traitor in army uniform, who Nkrumah, if he had had his eyes wide open and that hard, should have got rid off after the Congo debacle.

What Kotoka, did in the Congo, was on hindsight, a mere dress-rehearsal for the historical mother of all faux pas, in 1966.

In any case, are you also trying to say that even if Kotoka may have performed well during the Congo crisis, the ultimate crime of sedition and treason, which he subsequently committed in 1966, should be overlooked?

Sustaining the notoriety of subvertionists and terrorists, by naming high-profile public places after them, can only imply that it is perfectly alright and and act of heroism to engage in coups d'etat and cts of terrorism against the state and people of Ghana.

If the law of the land made any sense, any govt in the past and especially the present, that has condoned with this most repugnant fraud on the integrity of the state, by overlooking the serious implications of the bastardization of the main entry into the country as well as the intelligence and the dignity of the people of Ghana, should be held to account for defamation and gross dereliction of responsible governance and duty.

Check out all pepenis communities and you will find out such common ardent atrocities and all kind of insidious practices just because, the value of "pepeni born ayigbe's" common sense contradict with any rule of law. We thought when Mahama becomes president he would apply the law and also improved zongos understanding with the rule of law but; like father like son; zongos are wayward with the law abiding talk less of following it. To apply the law means we are confined with the rules and the youths learn the law to become good citizens. The unabated calamities and the youths unspeakable crime activities tell us pepeni cannot rule.

This is the problem we have in Ghana, and it is caused by people like you. Are all criminal politicians in NPP? Have you collected our money from Wayome back into the national coffers? It is very stupid of you to shift the blame to one political party, because almost all the politicians are thieves, and people like you are the reason why they are comfortable stealing and committing all kinds of crime; this is exactly what the man was talking about. You are giving criminal politicians in NDC a cover. Another fool will come and give criminal politicians in NPP a cover, and the cycle continues without stopping. Foooool! stop shading criminal politician in Ghana. You are the cause of our problems.

You're absolutely right about that but here is the thing, the law is applied selectively. Why are some people indicted, convicted and punished while others get away for committing the same crime? We have politicized everything so we aren't equal before the law. The politicization of the institutions for combatting crime has rendered the criminal justice system ineffective and a mockery of social justice. The jungle justice and the "riff raff" political system introduced by Rawlings veered us too far off the path of normalcy that it'd take us years of de-construction to return to civilization. Rawlings was the de facto leader despite Liman's election as President and it was his way or the highway. That is how we got here.

As a law enforcement person I find your assertion on this issue as perfectly accurate. In fact most at times Police personnel themselves are caught in the web when high profile politicians especially those in government go to the police to ask them to discharge a harden criminals. And woe onto a particular police officer who will insist of letting the law take its normal course.

This is quite true... I witnessed a simple but real and prosecute-able traffic offense. The staunch party supporter lady just called one of the party's national executive officers, gave the phone to the policeman. And that was the end of the case... She just drove away. Six months after my visit I called the lady back asking is she had acquired the license now. To my surprise, she hasn't even bothered to have one. The fact is that thousands of NPP and NDC party members and affiliates drive in Ghana are without common drivers licenses, or vehicular insurance. They appear to be 'Bigger" and more powerful than other drivers on the road.. They display this attitude that only "small" or powerless people abide by laws by acquiring and carrying such important documents in Ghana.. and they are the "untouchables" so to speak! Too sad; really sad indeed!

From armed robbers, okada riders, market women, the directors in pubkic services, street cleaners, church leaders etc. etc.

Almost all these categories of Ghanaians.....add some, if you wish, have all aligned themselves to the TWO MOST USELESS parties (NDC and NPP) Ghana has sadly been ruled by.

It all started from the AFRC to PNDC, then NDC and then the NPP eras. They rip Ghanaians off and then play party politics with it. THIEVES and CORRUPT practices are shielded fro the law with both the NDC and NPP colours...............

Unfortunately, we have Ghanaians continuously voting for them to create more FILTH and POVERTY in our Ghana! When are we ever going to learn?

This is what the TWO USELESS PARTIES have turned NKRUMAH'S GHANA TO. Sad to know that Nkrumah was overthrown for this garbage???????

A lady approaches her priest and tells him, " Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."

What do they say?" the priest inquired. " They only know how to say,'Hi,we're prostitutes. 'Want to have some fun?"

That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, " but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots whom I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase, and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."

"Thank you!" the woman responded.

The next day, the woman brings her two female talking parrots to the priest's house. His two male talking parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her two female parrots in with the two male parrots and the female parrots say," Hi, we're prostitutes, want to have some fun?"

One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away; Our prayers have been answered and lets fuck them

Decline of the rule of law and order.

Until the rule of law and order and the human rights and freedoms are restored, the development of Ghana would suffer.

This fundamental question is at the heart of the development of Ghana.

When people talk of corruption, underdevelopment of Ghana, Woyome, IMF intervention, crime, constitutional review etc, these things boil down to decline of the rule of law and order in Ghana.

My friends, focus right.
