WE HAVE LIVED TOGETHER PEACEFULLY UNTIL THE USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED.

''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 JOHN MAHAMA?

WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM.
THE USELESS NDC PARTY IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
Everything that unites us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

ECOWAS is on paper only as France a small nation in Europe has undermined it. Each time Ecowas holds a conference, a week latter, France will call her slaves to Paris and warn them. The open secret is France makes 17% on each CFA spent in the cfa zone generating over $20 billion France is holding since 1960s.That agreement was a prerequisite to gaining the fake independence from France.
France uses the holding money as loans ( loaning Ghana $11million,$6million here and there) and refuses to disclose how much interest she charges on it but only agrees to give one half of 1% (google France and the CFA zone) to be shared amongst the participating nations.
Former Cote d'Ivoire minister of finance and some top Senegalese citizens are fighting over that money to be returned to them but the parasitical leach and the snake is still sitting on it while the region is in dare need of money for investments to create jobs for the teeming youth population.

For ECOWAS to be truly integrated and work for her ppl, France and her dirty work and hidden hands need to be exposed in a strong worded statement.

ECOWAS HAS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE ABOUT.
Hannah Tetteh wake up!! Wars in the region are the hand works of France who lures GAF into it to make money as peace keepers. And as the Ghana Armed Forces pray for these peace keeping missions to come their way in order to make money, we in Ghana through our greedy leaders have become complacence in the wars and the terrors in our OWN region. How ironic? But that is the truth.

Good point by Hannah but your own government is not is doing the right thing by not treating the recent issues raised by some Muslims in this country. The ndc is trying to court Muslim votes by agreeing to whatever they are asking for without finding out where it's going to lead us. Rules which controls all of us are being 'Islamatised' first it was church service, then assembly, then uniforms at work. All this happened within a month. There seems to be a hand behind all this and who knows where it's going to end
We are Africans and if the Muslims don't want western values why do they want to replace it with Arabic values. The answer is they are being funded by Arabic infidels who want to establish caliphate on our land. Our Muslim brothers must realise they are Africans first. Their leaders are using them to destroy our African values whilst pretending they are fighting western values.
We should not tolerate these Arabic infidels and stick together as Africans. Boko haram should be wiped out before they spread. These Arabs enslaved us long before the white man

And how do they do that when you don't have the courage to point at the source of the problem? Which of you in government or your counterparts in the ECOWAS countries can openly confess that the problem of Islamic terrorism is the religion itself and for that matter take the right measures such as curbing the influence of countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey on muslims in our countries? Can you be bold enough to bar these countries from offering muslims scholarships to study radical islam who in turn come back after their studies to radicalize the youth? Please spare us the noise and stop pretending to be concern about islamic terrorism.

In Ghana most of the Northerners are not Islams but people don't know. When Islams are killing the innocent people, some ignorant people use the word "Tanii" and that's wrong. The fact is Islam was started without peace. The people from Mecca have several strikes against Mohammad to make it extremely difficult religion initially. They wanted to kill Him that is why He ran away to Medina. That movement is called Haji la. So when did Islam became peaceful religion? Mrs. Hanaa.

In this sense, Hannah seems to know nothing about about what she is supposed to know. Woman, open your scope. The source is France and the oil-rich Muslims. Their aim is to turn the world to be Muslim world by every possible means and France is exploiting the whole continent. It is a very complex problem. African leaders must get out of their selfish boxes to find a means of saving their nations but not their private pockets.

We live in a country where nothing seems to work and these people are thinking about integrating an entire region. Madam, are you afraid to talk turkey? Islam is tied to terrorism and you know it.

What is aim of these terror groups terrorizing innocent people across the globe and under what banner do they do that? Islam. They invoke Allah's name right or wrong?

Yeah, call me whatever name you like but that is the truth. Who is Osama Bin Ladin, Ayemar Zawahiri etc and what is the aim of Al-Shabab, ISIS, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Abu Sayaff, Hamas etc? They are fighting under the flag of Islam. Would the leaders be bared from going to Mecca?

In the case of Boko Haram, the Chadian leader is prepared to chase them into Nigeria to finish them off but Nigerian authorities are refusing. Why? Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon, should come together and attack Boko Haram from all angles to finish them off. There is no way they can sustain any onslaught from these nations. Any foot dragging is an indication for the group to rethink and plan.

Political Correctness, not calling a spade a spade. UK took this step and they are suffering for it; pretending Islam isn't d problem. We know muslims will quickly march in numbers on streets to announce their dissatisfaction. Have u seen them march against ISIS n Boko Haram?. In which Religion's name do these terrorists say they fight?ISLAM, How loud have islamic leaders dissociated themselves from it. Their quran promises them of a future caliphate, it tells them to kill all those who dont believe in Islam, quran 9. A radical muslim kills unbelievers, moderate muslims are in support of the killing cos their quran says it is honourable. Do not be fooled, their prophet tells them to lie to protect islam(Taqiya). You speak anyhow against Christians and Christianity cos u know they are peaceful and will not reply with violence. u speak nicely about islam cos u kno they are violent and will reply with murder. Be warned, Christians are not weak, they are meek. Jesus teaches us not avenge those who hurt them and that their warfare is not carnal. That's why Christians dont resort to physical violence. Dont take their meekness to be weakness. If they should respond to any ill word spoken against Jesus like muslims will murder those who speak against muhammed, the world ll b in chaos.
