WE HAVE BEEN VICE PRESIDENTS FOR FAR TOO LONG, IT IS TIME YOU MAKE ONE OF YOUR OWN PRESIDENT - John Mahama.

What are the rest of us to Mahama?

VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016 BEFORE HE DIVIDE THE COUNTRY WITH ANTI-AKAN POLITICS.

Good, you are now growing up and it is about time! Being an opposition does not mean that you should disrespect and disregard the Constitution, the Presidency, your constituencies and of course yourselves by such irresponsible, unintelligent and politically infantile behaviour. Don't forget you have being voted into office by your people to represent their views but not for you to go on strike and not attending Parliament as their MPs. You are not representing yourselves in Parliament and always remember your MP post does is not yours and you are not self-employed and must not disregard your employers, who are your voters and arrogantly doing what you wish. There are many ways of registering your disagreements as a Parliamentarian. the debate in the House is your real opportunity. Violence, insults, lies and innuendos do not win arguments. Running away from the debate by boycotting the House does not win the argument. Only an intelligent and well structured and practical views enhances advancement. Get your priorities right. Your priority must always be Ghana first.

Heckling is simply primitive and should not be entertained anywhere in the Ghanaian society, be it at home, school, workplace and of course, not in The August House of Parliament. The Hon. Minority Leader therefore, has no reason to be remorseful for not misleading his coleagues into indulging in such a disgraceful practice not even fit for little children.

By the way, Hon. Kyei-Mensa should rather come out boldly to confess to Ghanaians and to the entire world at large, that as a matter of fact, the real reason why they were sober throughout the President's delivery of this year's State of The Nation Address was that they, the minority in Parliament, of late have been in a mourning mode, seeing that their chances of succeeding in further misleading Ghanaians into believing that the NDC government has misused the millions of borrowed loans has indeed, fallen flat.

In deed, their mishap was exacerbated when the President used the SOTNA to painstakingly enumerated tha Development Projects that his administration has been silently rolling out, which this same minority has been pretending not to have seen, all thse while.

Indeed, CLEVER as they have always been, the minority NPP foresaw the president's advantage to use his address in Parliament to expose them officially and in public, thereby sweeping and whipping up even more public support for his government. This is the reason why they hurriedly put together the so called, WOMGBO and YEEWUOOOOOO demonstrations both in Accra and in Kumasi respectively. It was not rather as if they were acting in solidarity with the good people of Ghana because of the DUMSOR debacle confronting Ghana at the moment.

NPP is a party in mourning! The red and black outfits are traditional symbol for mourning. Nana Addo and NPP have seen very clearly that their quest for powe is once again rapidly eluding them. Hence, their mournful disposition and actions.

NPP did not heckle President Mahama for the sole reason because Akufo Addo and Bawumia were in the chambers. Do you know the backlash that NPP would have suffered if they had embarked on that journey in the presence of both men.

NPP knew what they were up to and nobody should fall for their CON TRICKS.

IT LOOKS LIKE NPP IS EITHER GROWING UP OR HAVE HIRED SENSIBLE AND MEN OF INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY TO ADVISE THEM AND SO FAR THEY SEEM TO BE LISTENING. I AM HAPPY FOR THE CHANGE IN THE INTEREST OF GHANA'S ADVANCEMENT POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY ETC. NOW THEY HAVE TO PUMP AND PROPAGATE THEIR ALTERNATIVE POLICIES ON HEALTH, ECONOMY, EDUCATION, TRANSPORT, INFRASTRUCTURE, ENVIROMENT, LAW AND ORDER ETC INSTEAD OF THEIR USUAL VIOLENT, ARROGANT, UNINTELLIGENT AND TRIBAL BEHAVIOUR ETC. NPP SHPULD KNOW THAT THE ELECTION IS NOT FOR THE ASANTES OR AKYEMS TO ELECT THE ASANTEHENE OR THE OKYEHENE( although the there are also Akyem Bosomen and Akyem Kotoku). NPP MUST QUICKLY TURN IT ROUND FOR THE REST OF GHANAIANS TO REALISE THAT GHANA IS BIGGER AND HAS MANY PARTS MORE THAN ASANTE AND AKYEM. HWETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT THIS PERCEPTION IS VERY WORRYING INDEED. TIME TO WAKE UP, PLEASE. ONLY THE WISE, LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES AND THEY BECOME WISER. IT IS THE FOOL WHO ALWAYS BATHE IN HIS FOLLY.

NPP's show of gentility is sometimes sad. They have most of its members always calling the others to order. It happens even in their diaspora branches.

So we spend time demonstrating on the streets and then keep quiet in the Parliament House? People in mourning in Ghana wail, shout and gnash their teeth. The opposition tactics are contradictory to say the least. Effective? Not convinced.
