NDC MUST COME OUT AND PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE MEDICAL STUDENTS GIVEN SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN CUBA. WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN GHANA CAN WIN ELECTION WITHOUT AKAN MAJORITY VOTES???? IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE 80% OF MINISTERS HAVING BEEN CHOSEN FROM TWO MINORITY TRIBES, THEN, AKANS WHO VOTE FOR NDC MUST EXAMINE THEIR HEADS. AKANS ARE NEVER TRIBALISTIC. WE ACCEPT AND HELP OTHER TRIBES WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN OUR MIDST. WE EMPLOY THEM ON OUR LANDS AND IN SOME CASES GIVE THEM FREE LANDS TO SETTLE. IF THEY HATE US AND WANT TO MARGINALISE US, THEN LET US UNITE AS AKANS AND DEFEND OURSELVES. EVERYTIME AKAN, AKAN , AKAN!! BUT AKANS VOTED NDC TO POWER.

AUTHOR:-BOLUS, MERCY ADEDE...

"The drug barons are currently targeting Ghana making us a vulnerable nation hence we must toughen our national security at all our Airports. If Ms Ametefeh has been allegedly doing such manoeuvres since 2009 goodness knows how many of such people have used this method just because of their status in society as security around such people have been relaxed. No one can be trusted when it comes to such issues any more as our security is at stake. We should not even allow the VVIP section security to be relaxed so that unscrupulous people take advantage of such freedom afforded to them in the wake of this saga".

THE ACTION OF FOOLISH VOTERS is killing GHANA. STOP IMPOSING USELESS POLITICIANS ON US. YOUR ACTION IS SENDING THE WHOLE COUNTRY BACK. IT IS NOT ABOUT TRIBE, IT IS ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF GHANA. NDC AFTER 26 YEARS HAVE PROVED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MANAGE GHANA. HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM? VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016 AND SEE GHANA GAIN HER FOOTING AGAIN.

If I may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.

Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.

Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

Riff-Raff speak only one language, riffraff language of expletives and the morally crude that makes decency to cower. Certainly the NDC has made many negative contributions to Ghana politics. No decent minded person tells another "he's speaking from his a**s". We never experienced such levels of indecency before the advent of Mr Rawlings. Since the coming of Rawlings, there has been a rapid degeneration in the manner of speech and insensitivity to the emotions of others.
Talking about coups in Ghana, it's lamentably true that some did enjoy spontaneous popular support from the onset due to the socio- political conditions prevalent at the time but that cannot over-ride their illegitimacy.
Everyone knows that the NDC is the illegitimate product of the illegitimate PNDC . Every year the NDC defies the Supreme Court of Ghana to celebrate their 31st December coup.Surprisingly, they're also the loudest in the condemnation of the coup that overthrew Kwame Nkrumah. That's called double standard. The real difference between the two coups which the NDC is unwilling to acknowledge is, while the February 1966 coup deposed a dictator, Kwame Nkrumah, the 31st December coup of 1981 overthrew the constitutionally elected administration of Dr Hilla Liman. To the unapologetic NDC supporters, wrong is wrong no matter how attractive it may appear to be but if ever there's the temptation to justify any coup then Nkrumah's coup is the one because it deposed a dictator. It makes no difference whether Nkrumah was a benevolent or brutal dictator. Every coup is unconstitutional, period!

Have you forgotten when Rawlings came to power on June 4th 1979 there was election scheduled for July of the same year? Stop worshipping Rawlings, haba?

When Ndc made Bagbin as the majority leader it was not based on tribal appointment, huh?

Do you know Nitiwul educational and professional background for you to say he was made a deputy Minority leader because of him being a Northerner? At least Npp did not appoint two rapists as leaders in Parliament as Ndc who have Doe Adjaho, a rapist as Speaker and Bagbin, another rapist as Majority leader.

Mr. Nitiwul is a great prospect of Ghana. A beneficial of genie that is transmitted from father to son throughout generations. He has this wisdom, very scares, that never dies ! We have got to the age where gangsters can never swindle and gamble with our destiny. This incapable highest arm robber copied idiots with our arms and ammunitions to display indiscipline to enrich his soaked soul in the caprice of Wee ,neglecting the existence and respect of our Kings and Queens. Yes , NDC is a progeny of coup d'etat ! Born with the sacrifices of blood. The bloodshed of greatmen and women who only did their best but failed. We don't take advantage of period in crises to kill and rule the world. No ! What have we got with Rawlings? 2decades of a country in one man's land, condemned to auto- totalitarian. The present corruptionists NDC is the prolongation of the haunting curse, upon the head of Rawlings . And the time have come for everyone to recognise this and admit the sins of this barbarian in his wilderness. For NDC is but a killing-machine and a profitable organisation for making money. It is only therefore right to naked this instrumental barbarians from our political corridors to save our democracy from further shadow coup and couple with fake governments which is not the choice by the people. Thanks Mr Nitwiwul. You said it and before the Parliament.

The entire NDC party must be lined up and given the firing squad just as JJ did in the past because they created that line of punishment for criminals. Even with JJ, innocent people were executed by firing squad because according to JJ, those people were rich. The most idiotic move by JJ was the killing of a high court judge, Ms. Koranteng Addo who was a nursing mother at the time. JJ must equally suffer the same fate alongside Jon Mahama, Asiedu Nkatia, Okudzeto Ablakwa, Betty Mould Iddrisu, Ebo Barton Oduro, Fiifi kwatey, yaw Boateng Gyan, JJ, rawlings, all the ministers of current and past P/NDC and even serial NDC callers. That party must be burnt to ashes because they are overly devilish and dishonest to the highest degree. NDC must be burnt to ashes.

A husband of a friend went to a local bank to make a withdrawal. Its one of those banks where you take a form, fill it in and stand in line.
While waiting in line, he casually flipped the withdrawal form over and noticed that someone had written on the back of it "I HAVE A GUN: GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY". Not wanting to lose his place in the queue, he waited till he got to the teller and said "Look, some idiot has written on the back of this form".
The teller, not listening, saw the writing and hit the panic button. Alarms rang, cops appeared, the guy was cuffed and taken to a back room and interviewed for a few hours.
At 10'o'clock at night, his wife finally found out where he was (he went to the bank at mid-day) and he was released only after several well-respected friends testified as to his character.
But before he left the cops checked the pile of withdrawal slips in the bank and found that about half of them had similar messages on the back.
Evidently some prankster had done so for a joke.
So, the next time you go to the bank, check the back of the forms first... (or else write on them, put them back in teh pile and wait for the fun to start...)

Shame to the enemies of Ghana. The Dr. Ntiwul is uninformed about history and his short sightedness about America and NATO COUPS IN IRAQ ANF LYBIA ANF THE MURDERS OF YHEIR LEADERS.

This one stupid MP who is excited to talk without reasoning.Nitiwul despite being an NPP MP should bare in mind that the exposure and status he is enjoying today should be credited to Jerry Rawlings.Before the advent of the AFRC/PNDC coups northerners and ewes were discriminated,marginalized and condemned as second class citizens.The AFRC/PNDC revolutions thanks to Jerry Rawlings brought about radical transformation and a balance in socioeconomic status by bridging the gap between the poor less educated northerners and voltarians and the rich much educated Akans.How many Komkomas were in the university prior to Rawlings ascension?In deed Saboba got electricity,water,schools,motorable roads and health facilities after Jerry Rawlings came to power.Irrational effusions by a northern NPP MP like Nitiwul is not unusual.When the NPP is in opposition you see northerners as the forerunners but when in power they are suddenly relegated to the background.In an earlier article i stated categorically that the NPP should not struggle for votes in northern Ghana because historically the UP party of which NPP is a progeny had a good number of northerners as key leaders.What happened to the likes of Jato Kaleo,Chief Dombo,Chief Abiefa Karbo and Chief Mumuni Dimbie?They were naturally marginalized and suddenly disappeared into oblivion.I also bemoaned deliberate mischievous attempts by learned Akan historians like Prof Adu Boahene to distort history by down playing the contribution of northerners by persistently writing about Busia/Danquah tradition ignoring the contributions of the likes of Chief Dombo in the UP tradition.Lame attempts of late to recognize the contribution of Chief Dambo by coining Danquah/Busia/Dombo tradition largely for political expediency has been a disastrous fruitless venture as opposed by some Akan Tribal Bigots.I remain adamant in my disposition that until the behavior of Akans change in NPP and in life in general the NDC will always triumph over the NPP.Some Akans with grandiose delusions of feeling of superiority over other tribes will ensure the NPP suffer tribal repercussions and revolt by being rejected.Until tolerance and respect for other tribes is embraced it is always going to be difficult for the NPP.Invariably a stupid northern fool was once again identified and used to discuss a sensitive issue in parliament.At a time that a leading member of his party Osafo Maafo is denigrating him as a second class citizen,Nitiwul should be soberly reflecting the positive contributions Chairman Rawlings made to his life.He is in parliament today because Jerry Rawlings opened the gates for him.

For those who don't seem to understand what's going on, JJ Rawlings and his AFRC/P-NDC henchmen came into with a secrete agenda. They targeted Akan people whom they perceived as dominating everything in Ghana.

Akans, to them were controlling Ghana's economy; they said they were corrupt and as a result lined them up---including a few minority tribes people---and executed them by firing squad. Rawlings and his officers sought to neutralize Akan people by confiscating their businesses and properties, while those who held high gov't or public positions were removed and replaced by other tribes.

Now they don't want people to hear about it; they've rather turned around by spreading false info and lies, accusing the NPP of being a tribal party. What an irony! The very people who're practicing tribalism have turned around to accuse others about it. Wonders, our elders say, will never end! NPP leadership should wake up and confront this national issue boldly before the NDC pollute people's minds esp. those who seem to be naive about the whole issue.

Let's be honest with ourselves.It is Akans who have problems with other ethic groups like Northerners and Ewes.It is not just in politics. We see this they in day out in our public institutions,schools and general life.Akans generally look down on and discriminate against other ethnic groups alike Ewes and Northerners who they feel are inferior to them.This grandiose delusion of a precolonial mentality as a matter of fact cannot be supported by sociology in modern Ghana.Quiet recently two doctors(an Ewe and Northerner) were thrown out by an Akyem Director General Ebenezah Appiah Denkyira from the Ghana Health Service in less than a month in post in solidarity with fellow Akans in Effia Nkwanta hospital.J.A Kuffour served as PNDC Under Secretary for Local Government as well as many other NPP functionaries.NDC have far more Akans than a combined number of Ewes and Northerners in NPP.Attrition rate of tribes other than Akans is relatively far higher in NPP with the inverse being true in NDC.Some of us look forward to the day where voting will be issue based rather than tribal based.But the stark reality is that this can only happen if Akans learn to tolerate and respect other tribes.The dynamics in modern Ghana is completely different from colonial Ghana where northerners and ewes played second fiddle.The northerners and ewes are fast catching up thanks to the principle catalyst of the new development, Jerry Rawlings.Some of the scathing attacks lunched at Chairman Rawlings is because of the social balance he created by nipping the extortion and cheating that was on-going at the time.Your article is a subconscious reaction of the pain of being prevented to enslave other tribes.

Well, you have answered the question as to why Rawlings and his AFRC/P-NDC henchmen tried to marginalize the Akan tribes people; the reason why the used the barrel of the gun to subdue and neutralize the Akan people. God only knows the number of Akan people who were murdered by Rawlings and his gang. God will be the judge. It's no surprising for people like you to distort gleefully distort facts. You can't even honesty declare your true identity. The NDC is full of sycophants and criminals whose only wish is to see the country in chaos and at the slightest chance go out and loot from stores when the is violence in the street.

What an awesome and smart turn out in the picture. J J Rawlings is my man. Every smartly dressed soldier is a disciplined person. Very few top men in the Ghana Armed Forces can compare to him today. Shameful indeed.

Mr Dominic Nitiwul did not mis-speak himself. He spoke the bitter truth abhorrent to NDC fanatics and there was no need to succumb to the pressure from the NDC majority to withdraw the comment. If Mr Nitiwul mis-spoke or was guilty of mis-informing his colleagues then why was the Indemnity Clause smuggled into the 1992 4th Republican Constitution at the midnight hour and on the blind side of Ghanaians?
For those who are too young to know Rawlings staged a successful coup on December 31, 1981 and abrogated the constitution because he was aware that every interruption in governance is illegal. A government is only changed if it's not done via the voting system. The drafting of the constitution was flawed from the word go because some of the members of the Constituent Assembly were Rawlings acolytes and admirers handpicked by Rawlings himself. He needed a restoration, an indemnity clause in the new constitution to pardon and exonerate himself from his sins against the people of Ghana. If Nitiwul lied or mis-spoke then what's the Indemnity Clause doing in the constitution? Why don't they remove it from the Constitution? The coup that overthrew Nkrumah was wrong but Rawlings coup that overthrew President Liman in 1981 was right. This is a clear case of double standards. It's inconsistent with reasoning. Mr Dominic Nitiwul spoke the truth and should have stood his ground.

Truth Stands, NDC is not just a coup party but a rather bloody coup party. It is not rumor, it is a fact. Ask JJ.
