    No Ghanaian blood should be shed, if the Gambian people are staging coup to stamp-out corruption.. The president will not have problems, if he subjects himself to the will of the people.. African politicians are thieves, and ...

    The down side of this European style democracy weighed heavier than any benefit it promises.

    That is in your myopic opinion. That is why you don't know that there is nothing like, "more better".

  • DIAMOND 9 years ago

    1. Are you returning to The Gambia?
    You must thank God that you're still alive.

    2. You're telling us how insecure your country is, but asking us to come in and invest. Does that make sense to you?

    Dr. Satty, Please, do not think this so-called PEACE in Ghana is from the good works of any individual, it is the collective patience of the entire populace. Had that not been the case, Ghana would have been destroyed more th ...

    Stones? I am lost in a small forest. How do one vote with stones? How is it done in this age of technology? The mind of the black African has a lot of questions.

  • Revelation + Rationality =Truth. 9 years ago

    I stand with the call of this opposition leader. Every word of his makes sense. The future of Africa thrives on morality and getting rid of these undemocratic dinosaurs who keep taking Africa back to the ice age.

  • kutsii. 9 years ago

    This Jammeh's would be finished by the end of the year. If he survives another uprising then he is invisible. A bullet in his mouth is all the solution. He is an apology of an African leader

    But who is going to campaign or vote against Jammeh in the next "election" and survive? That is the BIG question.

    If the president of Ghana is called a thief, then how do you call the main opposition leader in Ghana who claims to be a lawyer but has no law certificate and cannot even mention the law school he attended.
