Totally agree! The IMBECILE here is Akuffo Addo (just a Pass at the University, no Law certificate). Let's give it to him.

O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Amen

If Nana could initiate an earthquake he would do so to wipe pout the whole country so that can declare himself president and bury the rest of us.

As Kufuor advised NPP in 2007: Let's avoid picking a leader who creates trouble everywhere he is. And Nana Addo is worse than the picture Kufuor was trying to paint about the kind of persons the NPP should avoid picking as their leader. With Nana, we shall be lucky int we don't fight a civil war even before the next elections. He has virtually made Ghana ungovernable.

They will listen rather than these idiots who don't know what they are doing. Just in the Flagstaff house, come to work, do foolish things and go home. This is the price to pay for stupidity of those brainless Ghanaians called NDC supporters who voted for dead goat. And sheepishly they are still following them.

Stop displaying your ignorance,these nurses are trained with tax payers money and bonded to work for the government for a period of time,they cannot go and open their own clinics even if that is possible,
How many nurses do you know have opened their clinics, how will they open their clinics if they don't have money,they should go fetch the sun to open the clinics?

It is very sad that these kind of things are going on in the country,let us be honest to ourselves at least once,these things never happened in Ghana before,nurses staying home without being posted right from college never happened before and the government needs to stop this practice,it is destroying the image of the government and the party,if the Finance Minister is the one making all these mess which nobody is ready to talk about let us fire him,he cannot continue to be starving the ministries putting his colleague ministers in awkward positions,some of us are sick and tired of hearing people working but not being paid and now nurses who should be helping in our health care delivery not being posted when we don't have nurses in our health institutions.

What is the Health Minister doing not coming out to say anything about this issue that has been going on for sometime now,how do you expect this new nurses to perform well having stayed at home for all this long without practicing what they have wasted time to learn,don't we know that the more they stay home the more they forget what they learned in school,are we serious as people,do we belong to the normal human race,are we aware opposition can take advantage of these things?
