God will see us through. Stop wishing us evil. It won't happen. Are we losing our faith in God that he can turn our situations round if we pray and fervently call on him?

They are trying to garther whatever money they can to try buying votes and more so try rigging. Ghanaians are very awake and will not be swayed any longer by propaganda. No wonder you've abolished that tag and hiding behind a so called "Communications ..." We shall remind ourselves of this stubborn wickedness in 2016. Insensitive crooks in higher places.

What is the use of your prayers if you can't hear what your God tells you.
You have been praying for very long now, and God has been answering you all the time. But you are too lazy and unwilling to do what God says. How do you want God to turn your situation around? Maybe through a Tsunami? Or Earthquake?
PLEASE! The next time you pray, ask God to give you Brains of Humans, for you to see the truth.

And God looked upon the earth,and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth Genesis 6:12. Also let us be aware of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Many a time we ignore prophetic words from God and brush them aside. Please understand that there is too much corruption, too much youth unemployment, injustice, and management problems. Please do not ignore these problems blindly, because it could injure the fortune of our nation.

Yes it is true that God can turn our situation. But what of if those leading us do not want to turn? Do u think God will twist our neck to turn against our will? God does not work that way. Tell yr leaders to listen and turn their ways b4 God's wrath fall on us all. No one is loosing faith in God. But when there are still Achans in the camp, the faith of Joshua cannot save the people. You must rather pray for the Achans to be removed or else, defeat is imminent.

There is evil, corruption, hatred etc, in the society, have u prayed enough for it to be dealt with? God does not work that way, do your home work by taking away the sin our leaders have forced us into, and God will rain blessing upon the land. We have a party in power that does not even regard the ministers of God. Yet we have a leader who says he has faith in God, however he will never reprimand anyone who speaks against God.

Don't expect God to do anything if those syphoning our limited resources are not ready to change.

This is the most stupid response I have heard in a long time. But then I am not surprised to hear this kind of comments from NDC rogues. You need figures to tell you that we are breeding massive numbers of unemployed youths? You need figures to show that we have "dumsor" in Ghana that has totally decimated almost all business activities in Ghana? I am sure you will even need figures to show you that the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. May God forgive your unpatriotic stance on the plight of Ghanaians, and ridiculing them.

Everybody in Ghana is practically lazy,and so full of themselves. A little job, a house and car, and they think they own the world. They acquire western amenities, automobiles, accessories, but do not want to stick to the rules and manuals of engaging such luxuries. No single Ghanaian likes to stop at an intersection or junction to yield the right of way, no single Ghanaian prefers stopping at the local grocery to purchase what they want, instead they have to shop will driving in traffic.

Please Mister Soldier Man, tell me, how many of these street hawkers and roadside food vendors will you hire to work in your office or backyard. They look like zombies, some don't even act like human beings. You can't discipline your own kids, but you think parliamentarians don't come from the same crop of lawless villagers you see on the streets of Accra.

Let the bomb explode, it is our only solution to control our population and teach some of these things a bitter lesson. Ironically Rwanda has become a far better country today than it would have, had there not been an explosive time bomb. Truth is the only way for Africans and most underdeveloped people around the world, Arabs and eastern Europeans is war and massacre. Useless revelation Sir!!!

Budu Koomson only wanted to be relevant in the political discourse. He should rethink his posturing and be positive. He should rather be advising the youth to adopt positive mentality about Ghana since there is no better place than home.

Much as i appreciate the retired Captain's concerns, he sounded more political rather than being patriotic. How do u compare our situation to Burkina Faso and Campaore. He wanted to change the constitution to rule forever and not providing the needs of the youth, hence the spontaneous revolt. President hasn't even served his first term and you people are canvassing to get him out because you are hungry. Where was the Captain when NPP was in power? They deceived some of us they will create jobs and made us to queue only to be abandoned. How many jobs did they create and all of a sudden, they are talking of free education, which is political winning message? Insults don't help. They can't change my thinking and my attitude towards someone. Genuine intellectual analysis is what will convince me, not insults or bickerings

Current and retired military personnel should refrain from advising Ghana on matters of bribery and corruption; they lack the moral authority to lecture anyone. Ghana's armed forces have bullied the country by holding the threat of a military takeover or coup over every civilian government thereby forcing governments into giving a mostly uneducated and semi educated folks everything they ask.

We have also had brutality visited on civilians by members of Ghana's Armed forces including beating of Ghana's Police officers. Please don't tell us about troubles. Look no further than the parcel of land and associated road construction in the area behind the Accra airport reserved for the military and tell me why government must spend its scarce resources to build a community for the armed forces? For some reason everyone in Ghana forgets that as groups extract self centered benefits from government it leaves little else for what else government can do for the rest of society.

Let Budu tell us how much help his UT Bank has been in expanding the Economy so as to increase Employment. He sounds as if he has lost his compass around the Capitalist World he now feels so akin to. The last time I checked, it was his kind that was trumpeting to all of us that Governments do not create jobs; the private sector does.

So, how many loans has his Bank given the Youths to start or boost their entrepreneurial dreams? How many projects or Businesses has his Bank created or financed to expand the Economy for greater absorption of the unemployed Youths? What does the spent Colonel want the Government to do now to help solve the unemployment crisis without earning the stigma of interfering in Private Enterprise?

Surely, the Government could do a lot to help the young build the necessary skills and offer assistance in procuring financing to start Businesses. But that is not what the Colonel has been alluding to all these years. He has shown his utter dislike to see Government Officials live luxuriously. But that is about it.

We know that corruption is rampant among the Government Agencies. But the Colonel has never made any significant suggestions for solving the vice, other than just sounding plain jealous of some younger Officials getting richer than he might be.

He could have long led the way to fight Corruption, if he really meant well for all. The Youths would prefer listening to the likes of Anas to someone like Budu. Anas must be an inspiration to what the Youths could do to expose and curb Corruption among us to allow the system treat all more fairly, increasing their chances of succeeding on their merits.

The Youths need more of leaders who inspire to achieve than those who instigate them to violence.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Ours with limited understanding, should not have started for the first place, coming from the type of people we are, the cultures we find ourselves and the understandings we lack.
Following blindly, not curving a type sustainable to sustain us is a dangerous missions, and lo our major corporations belongs to foreigners, as if we own the nation, just to find out, we are deceiving ourselves, back to SOPHISCATED COLONISATION, our fathers fought to do away with.

Good Morning my fellow brothers and sisters in diaspora.its interesting the comments u passes on this forum.I am one young guy I believe travelling is a good thing as it broaden our horoscope so u can come back someday and teach the others.but all I read here always are insults and baseless and needless argument.
On this particular topic Mr koomson is speaking the truth,u will only notice this when u in Ghana.we struggle through sch and husle for a job that will pay u barely 1000 CEDI's a month.am 23 years old and I have had enough already from this government.
I believe in Entrepreneurship's and with the help of a friend we tried supplying foodstuffs to hotels and schools only to realize the chines has taken over that business in ghana and when u try they find a way to make u look nonsense because they have the money.all am saying is do put wise comments here becuse some of us back home are looking up to u for some common sense.tnx +233261530686

The Constitution stipulates a time frame to change a Government. And if we do not want what the current Administration is doing, we only have to vote it out in the next Elections.

This is what the Colonel has to remember. So long as the incumbent Government has not done anything to illegally entrench itself in Power and beyond what the Constitution allows, the Colonel's comments are unwisely agitating. He is much of an instigator to such violent Youth uprising himself. People should go back to read some of his comments he made a few months back to see how intolerant and impatient he seems to be of the Democratic process.

Surely, the Youths are vituperative, and rightly so. But to use the incidents in Burkina as an analogy to what could happen in Ghana, whereas totally different circumstances prevail in both Countries is totally idiotic, and needlessly alarming.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Frank, honestly, what is the imperative in our context for such a Revolution?

A bad Government simply ought to be voted out of power. We have not gone that far deep to the Ocean's end to even contemplate that option.

In the view of a few who probably have never really experienced real hardships anywhere in their lives, our current hardships is an abomination that calls for such violent usurpation of political power.

We have not exhausted all available options to change the incumbent Government. We are impatient, even as we truly are struggling. But we do not need to resort to violence to resolve the crisis.

All long established Democracies have had their terrible economic down-turn along the way. And they have almost always used the system available to change the ruling power in Peace.

The French and Russian Revolutions occurred at times when no Democracy was in place in either France, or Russia. Note that.

The Arab Spring we recently witnessed is more akin to the Revolutions you cited than any that folks like Budu are indirectly advocating in Ghana.

We must be careful not to be used by those who think their financial scales have turned against them under a particular Regime. If we keep following these cunning selfish clowns, we would bust our own system that we set up to steadily correct the long-existing imbalances among our Society, while they take their booty they get out of our adventures.

Long Live Ghana!!!

If someone thinks that we are not making it even though we have peace and stability so the solution is chaos and terrorism, then that person must be very stupid. NPP's propaganda that Ghana is failed so as to win power has failed because tat is not true. The truth rather is that, they have a bad candidate who has destroyed the NPP and those among them who are honest know it. There will always be problems to solve as a nation since even the solution of a problem in itself generates another problem. There is no country that does not have challenges and Ghana's challenges are normal. To think that by merely replacing the President and his team is all that is required to address them, is myopic. NPP's doom threats cannot help them win power. They should rather replace their failed leader.

Its so sad to see a nice country with good brains going down and down and down still are being fooled. Now if you about to fall into a big and deep whole and somebody shouts watchout....you turn and say hey you a fool. The wise ones will say Bro. Budu thank you and the zombies will abuse a this truthful guy. My people wake up.

Whose making is it? Politicians are known to be there for their tummies only. Profs are not carrying out any research. The same notes they gave out when they were teaching assistant s that is what they still give out. The result is graduates who can't think. How do you employ someone who can't think and do build a nation with people who cannot think. Let everyone in GH become a terrorist and let's see who will terrorize who.

Likewise, the political leaders of Africa through their deception of the masses, hoodwinked them into believing, they would with their parrotic intelligentia take them to the promise land of prosperity. llCor3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished.

Dear Captain, God richly bless you. Truth is Sacred. In the Good Book in Amos 6:3 (Good News Version) it is stated that: YOU REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT A DAY OF DISASTER IS COMING BUT WHAT YOU DO DRAWS THAT DAY CLOSER. What is motive? The hidden reason or plan that initiates an action. A man who lives in abject poverty but sees affluence being displayed wantonly will one day decide to initiate a change in his life or team up with fellow street people to bring an end to corruption. I agree with you Captain: Our beloved country has no reason to be poor at all. Mismanagement, corruption and stupidity, tribailsm, nepotism etc have all taken root to destroy the nation. I have long envisaged a violent resistance to oppression in the country by the average Joe and Jane one day. The Army cannot intervene when the sparks of agitation turn into an inferno. Bob Marley in his song. RIDE NATTY RIDE says WE'VE GOT SOMETHING THEY CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY! That is the power to resist and stand firmly and resolutely for what we believe in. The Bible says the time has come and now is the time! The people will take matters into their own hands and it will be too late yo stop the. The people are suffering too much. Wanton destruction of a beloved nation by crooks and cranks cannot continue without resistance to bring it down. Nana Ephraim Amu has a patriotic song for Africans: YAANOM ABIBI MMA EI MONYERE MO HO YEYERE NO OBIARA. ANIMGUASE MFATA ABIBI MMA. Surely the day of accountability is at the corner and ready to confront the evil regime. WE SHALL OVERCOME SOME DAY. Only fools think Ghanaians will continue to be fooled all the time. Surely we will wake up one day. And the fire will burn and no one can put it off. We will resist oppressor's rule. Long Live our GREAT NATION.

Free Speech. The CPT makes very little sense in his speech, but he's certainly entitled to his opinion. Hsa he gone back to look at the ages of arrested suspects in the past decades to be able to tell if the current crop of arrested suspects differ greatly in their ages compared to those arrested in past decades?

I agree with you perfectly but the government does like such open critique of the things going on the country.we must learn to create jobs even if they're not profitable.
