DR. BAWUMIA:-----------
“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.
He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.
“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”
“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

Stop the lies and let the people know war is inevitable as that is the only way to secure true freedom for the Akan nations. If we accept this fact then we also must know our sacrifice of a few million lives will ensure the total annihilation of all enemies of the Akan nation. People now know that the so called coup of Rawlings was nothing but as in all things a Ayigbe tribal war against the Akans camouflaged by the bullshit of a revolution against corruption. It is now clear why the intelligentsia of the Akans especially the Fantis was under the cover of darkness , false accusations and unfair prosecutions driven out of the country or killed or tortured so much so that they empty shells with broken spirits. Yes we see how even the cowardly brother of Mills react to the murder of a sitting Akan prince . We learn from history how the Nazi criminals were able to secure the assistance of the Jews in Warsaw to kill and oppress their own people and today we see the same in the likes of Gen Mosquito , and a few other glorified idiot ministers serving in this pepeni/ayigbe govt today. Our people have been instructed to exercise patience so with this new bio-metric registration we will know who exactly our traitors are as no Akan will vote for them except the backstabbing criminals amongst us. Pepeni and aygbe have formed their anti Akan alliance with the assistance of their satellite tribes such as the Adas , some Gas , and help from the neighboring countries , we see that they have armed themselves with guns hoping in the confusion after the next election to commit genocide and massacre as many Akans as possible but we are ready and organized. God is with us and we shall surely be victorious and the veils of lies and deception no longer cover our eyes . Anyone like me they dream and fantasize how we shall be betrayed by our own people or take confidence in non Akans like our gullible did 30 years ago but now our people are vigilant . We shall never be the slaves and servants of their islamised boko harem Ghana but we shall fight in the hills and valleys and never surrender. We have many men of achievement even global fame such as Kofi Annan who by the way can never be invited to be president because of the anti Akan agenda , yet JJ masquerades around because he is the hero who the ayigbe consider to have cunningly defeated the Akans . Now he and his henchmen prepare the final sakawa scam to ensure poverty and misery for the Akans . He has enstooled pepeni omanhene mahama who goes to the UN to fight for Muslims and Palestinian rights instead of encouraging investments and good relations with our natural allies since Vasco De Gama in the west.

And what about that? Don't even compare Dr Nkrumah's time with this hateful, envious , divisive and jealous ndc. Go back and ask of those who were at the helms of affairs , their backgrounds and education and compare them to those you are having now and see if Dr Nkrumah had Togolese and Burkinabes as ministers? He used Ghanaians whom even some had no education or little but they served their country with the patriotism and self reliance that deserved and they were successful. The military who took over couldn't jail any of them for corruption or mismanagement. They arrested them after the coup for security sake but released all of them with no adverse findings against them. Don't compare ndc full of criminal foreigners to Nkrumah's cpp of true and authentic Ghanaians. If he were to be alive, he wouldn't tolerate them for a second. A Togolese can never be a Ghanaian because of a heritage link as ndc is doing to Ghana now. Don't even dare to bring his name here, I get sick and tired when I hear ndc mentioning his name like he was an ndc man, how can a successful and patriotic president like him be part of criminals all they know is vandalizing the state coffers. Please, the man needs honor and respect so let him be the first president that he is and nothing else.

When political parties come to power, they try to impress the electorate with their own manisfesto and rushed developments. Some projects both new and old get abandoned when the parties lose. From 1966 onwards, Ghana has seen several projects started by past governments being abandoned by their successors. Governments will come to power with all kinds of slogans such as redemption, revolution, change now, better Ghana, rise and build and so on. They forget the vital industrial development slogan that will add value to our raw natural resources. As I speak, a textile factory employing thousands of people in North Tongu is about to close down. We are losing the grip on our resources to foreign goods and foreigners. Ghana should and must embark industrialisation based on our natural resources in order to survive and compete with the global world.

Because I'm limited to a word count , it seemed the most succinct way to express my heart break at seeing another landmark in African history destroyed for a few dollars...well, not a few dollars, probably a substantial amount. I refer to the oldest hotel in Ghana: The Sea View hotel. This is where Henry Stanley, of Stanley and Livingstone fame resided during the Ashanti wars, on this spot jazz was introduced to Ghana, in these halls your music, known as Highlife, made joyful noise the night independence was gained. Dear Ghana, This is the building the future president, Kwame Nkrumah looked onto from his prison cell as he campaigned for his and your nations independence.
It's got to be worth something money can't buy !!!!
Freedom and Justice became the logo that you Ghanaians would hear and live by for a long time to come.
Freedom and Justice are the words you see emblazoned across the monument in Black Star Square. The square of independence.
With freedom comes responsibility, with Justice comes the responsibility to exercise a moral compass with intelligence. Both of those concepts were corrupted today as bulldozers leveled the Old Sea View Hotel. Destroying ones' history, undermines ones' future.
Dear Ghana, It's bad enough that certain Europeans used this method of corrupting history to place people from Africa in a state of amnesia for the past 300 years but, when we do it to ourselves...?
Something is apparently wrong. Can you see that?
The Sea View Hotel. I wonder if Satchmo walked through that place or if Nina Simone ran her fingers across a piano in a room there? We know Highlife was heard and that jazz was played but now future generations will never be able to visualize that setting. Nor will they walk through that history and imagine and smell and touch and be touched by it.
Dear Ghana, Whomever is responsible for this travesty should be ashamed. No, on second thought they should be shamed publicly in Black Star square for all to see, so that we can all remember the importance of building a tomorrow with a sense of pride and integrity. And whoever it was should put it back, brick by brick...
Dear Ghana
I'm not going to apologize for this rant and I ain't gonna edit it.
With love
Your loving Son

When issues are supposed to be discussed to find solutions to our problems, all that you guys are interested in is npp this, ndc that, that's why the politicians keep misbehaving because no one audits or cheeks on what they do, guys please lets drop this political preferences and hold these politicians accountable for our future and the future of generations after us is being messed up by some few greedy people. At least Nana has realised the mistakes he and his colleagues are doing to us, Nana don't just talk at seminars,stamp your feet down in our communities and let this horrible environmental destructions by galamsey operators stop because all our waters are getting polluted, trees being cut unnecessarily and landscape being destroyed
Nana we are counting on you to see a drastic change, not just conference and seminar talks

The nation's resources seized to belong to Ghana the day Nkrumah and the CPP were toppled by those foreign forces with the help of the internal forces of the UNITED PARTY,(UP)inherited by the NPP. The foreign control of Ghana's resources will come to a halt, but only when Ghanaians think wisely and vote back the CPP under SAMIA YABA NKRUMAH.

It was not Acheampong whose policy was to allow Ghanaians to take 'the
commanding heights of the Ghanaian economy.' It was Dr.Busia when he ushered in The aliens Compliance Order.

BUSIA ONLY DROVE AWAY NIGERIANS AND OTHER AFRICAN NATIONALS FROM GHANA WITH A SHORT NOTICE. SOME OF THEM HAD BEEN BORN AND BRED HERE. SOME WHERE STUDENTS HERE, BUT BUSIA DROVE THEM OUT LIKE ANIMALS. THESE WERE BLACK AFRICANS. THE WEREN'T FROM ANOTHER CONTINENT. BUSIA WAS BEING PAID BY AMERICA TO BOMB NKRUMAH. WHEN NKRUMAH WAS OVERTHROWN, HE. BECAME PRESIDENT AND MADE THE ALIEN COMPLIANCE ORDER IN 1969 WHICH TERMED FELLOW AFRICANS AS 'ALIENS' AND DROVE THEM OUT OF GHANA WITHIN WEEKS. THAT IS WHY GHANAIANS WERE ALSO DRIVEN OUT OF NIGERIA IN THE 80s. BUSIA WAS A DISGRACE.

As long as our scientists and engineers are not up to the tasks those foreign experts will be in charge. Lets ask ourselves why in this day and age we can't do anything especially exploitation of our our own natural resources. We cannot preserve any of what our farmers produce and a lot go waste. That is why we receive 4% in gold and 13% in oil. The scientists should wake up to be counted.

I am proud of Nana Kobina Nketsia V who has shown that he deserves the Stool on which he sits. Most of our Chiefs have lost their way. They have forgotten the oaths they have sworn to protect this land, its people and their culture. Some are directly in bed pornographically with the agents promoting GMO in Ghana. The people will make them run and leave their sandals shortly!
