NANA ADDO'S LEADERHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO.

Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE P33)...
Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”, Greenstreet shouted when he delivered his party’s solidarity message to the NDC at the congress at the Baba Yara Stadium in the Ashanti regional Captial, Kumasi – stronghold of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

NDC has been trying to kill the farming sector since 2009, shrinking the budget allocation from a paltry 3% in 2009 down to 1% in the 2016 budget. This shows their disregard for the farming sector, and their misguided emphasis on unnecessary inflated signature projects to deceive gullible voters.

NDC is a bunch of corrupt incompetent con-men, and does not have what it takes to move Ghana forward economically socially and politically. All they care about is how to cling to power fraudulently .

INDEED I RESPECT THE OPINION OF NASIRU TO LOOK AT THE FARMERS' DAY CELEBRATION AS A DAY FOR MOURNING FOR THE FARMERS. HE'S A GOOD THINKER AND ANALYST. HOW COULD YOU CELEBRATE SOMETHING WHEN YOU HAVE NOT MET THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES UNDERLYING THAT CELEBRATION. NOT UNTILL GHANA CAN BECOME SELF RELIANT IN RICE PRODUCTION AND POUTRY, AND IS ABLE TO CUT IMPORTATION OF FOOD ITEMS TO ITS MINIMUM, THEN ANY CELEBRATION BECOMES A MOCKERY TO THE COUNTRY.

Is what the three-time award winner saying true or not? Aponkyei rather is a mental case. Everything is falling apart under this president and his administration. Interest payments in the 2016 is more that the budget for four very important ministries including agriculture put together. Budget allocation to he presidency for 2016 is more than that of the ministry of agriculture. How can agriculture survive under such an administration?

National Farmers Day celebration should be a day of mourning is to endorse by all farmers.President John Dramani Mahama do not care about farmers and their contribution to the economy.Because of president John Mahama actions and inactions towards our number one cash crop,cocoa is no more producing at it use to be.President steals the money meant for improving cocoa farming to build five star hotel in Dubai and Asiedu Nketia and Mahama Ayariga stole tractors meant for farmers and sold it outside Ghana to make money.Ghana need to realize NDC is take them for fools and they only think about how to steal our money to enrich themselves and educated fools support them

I don't see Ghana falling apart and collapsing. Selfishness is killing us because people want to run their trades and keep their profits but as soon as they start having challenges they start blaming government. They won't save,insure their businesses or reinvest profits. Sportsmen make their monies and lavish aimlessly forgetting that they can't play or fight all their life,as soon as the challenges start they start blaming government. Think and educate those behind you.

It is interesting to hear Ghanaians always calling on government to do everything for them. Any venture that is not separate and distinguished from your private life will always lead to a failure. Government cannot do anything to improve your lots. Plan and produce better goods to compete well in both the local and international markets. This will earn you credit. Government can only create a congenial environment for your business but not to create credit for you when you are not credit worthy yourself.

Look at a tiny brain trying to justify govt s dwindling investment on agric sector. If u care to know thé food basket of this country is a national sécurité issue that is why govt must invest in our farmers. Why is free éducation soo important to all our political parties? Ask urself. Thé EU pût 59 billion euros in agric in thé form of subsidies alone for 2014 even tho they can feed themselves for many many years to come when they even stop producing. Thé EU does this to make its farmers compétitive on thé global market.

You are too stupid to understand global competitiveness. Moron

If on an important day like this the president is Globetrotting which brings nothing significant to the nation, Why won't it be described as day of mourning. I am a great sympathies of NDC, but I am revising my voting notes.

It is true. This government(P-NDC) has ruled this country over 20yrs. They lack vision and therefore dont have good policies for Ghana. Pls vote them out when 2016 Election comes.

Sad news is that nobody want to be called farmer. If I maybe be correct most Ghananian farmers today are old people. As for the youth they see it as a curse and for illiterates.
