GHANA'S MEDIA, CORRUPT & STUPID!! LOOK AT THE WAY MAHAMA WAS INTERVIEWED IN GERMANY. THE QUESTIONS WERE UP TO THE POINT AND IT FOUND MAHAMA SHAKING AND SWEATING. IT WAS PURELY ON THE ECONOMY AND THE MAN POINTED OUT TO HIM THE FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS AND DESPONDENCY ON THE PART OF GHANAINS UNDER HIS INEPT & CORRUPT NDC GOVERNMENT. THE JOURNALIST WAS A WHITEMAN!!! HE DOES NOT LIVE IN GHANA!!! BUT COME TO GHANA, WE HAVE OVER 80 MINISTERS REPRESENTING VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY. THIS SO CALLED RADIO PRESENTERS AND JOURNALISTS ARE UNABLE TO CALL THEM AND ASK THEM RELEVANT QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE COUNTRY IS MOVING FORWARD OR BEING DESTROYED, THEY PREFER TO CALL ASIEDU NKETIA, KOKU ANYIDOHO, ANITA DE SOSO, AKUA DONKOR OR KOFI ADAMS TO ASK THEM WHOM THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INSULT IN THE NPP. LOOK!!! 4 YEARS OF DUMSOR, THE CEDI HAS TAKEN A NOSE-DIVE, NDC STEALING OUR MONIES, MASS UNEMPLOYMENT, UNPAID WAGES AND SALARIES: --- BUSINESSES, NHIS, MASS COCOA SPRAYING, SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM ETC. ETC. ALL COLLAPSED AND OUR SO CALLED JOURNALISTS JUST DISGRACING THEMSELVES. WHAT A COUNTRY????????

My mom will do it for me, or the leadership should take care of or needs! Let's be REAL, there's no FREE lunch in Ghana or for that matter, anywhere on this planet.
The Party is OVER, and the time is now, to pay for our BILLS. The wiseman adopts the ingenuity of the birds, and he eats always. Why can't we do similarly! The Otchere Danquah or whatever he's called has a plan to enriched himself now, for his RETIREMENT by collecting from your
hard earnings. We all came late to the reality of old age; we are not going to repeat the mistakes by buying into his ANANSE-sems. That nonsense arrived too late to our awareness; a vote for the NPP would retire the Otcheres' in Glory to eternity. It is a sacrifice we in the majority, are being coaxed to buy into. This would make our living in retirement much more miserable, just because we bought into their lies.
Have you ever asked yourselves, "what's in it for us"? Nana at his age, is due for retirement, but he wants to go in glory, with the nation picking up the tab. His imaginary Presidency will transform the state-house into an emergency hospital with you and me swallowing the costs. Think about it, for there's no tribal conspiracy against any group; it's an ARCHAIC method of garnering sympathies, a slash and cut technique but we are much wiser in this generation. It won't work.

Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London-bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

kwami, you are an idiot. what does Mahama's actions have to do with the people in the North? Politics is making you dumber by the day. repent and stop following politicians blindly because it will only lead you to an early grave. The NDC is horrible not because of mahama but because of those that works under him. Do you really believe a sitting president would want to make life difficult for Ghanaians? If you believe that then you are stupid than i thought. Mahama is trying but you can't rule a nation full of illiterates and be successful. The same goes to Nana addo, i fear he will be no different from Mahama because those that work under him are also stupid and corrupt. So dude, instead of picking up fights with your brothers from the North, you should rather work with them. Ghana will change when our mentality on how we treat each other changes. By insulting a northerner, because you associate them with mahama, you are actually giving more votes to NDC. So before you go an insult people, try and use your fucking brain idiot.

In 2013, immediately after the President was sworn, Gabby was the first to come out publicly to call on the President to increase prices of Petroleum products. Just listen to what he's now saying. There's no principle in the attitude and behaviour of the NPP.

personally, I don't agree with any increases. it serves no purpose other than enriching some few people in society. But enriching few people in society is an NPP ideology so I'm even surprised that they are speaking against their own ideology. Have the NPP admitted that the automatic price adjustment formula they implemented under their rule is bad? so why is the NPP complaining? the look of the economic policy of the NDC and the look of the economic policy are all the same. In fact the one under NPP was even terrible because it was coupled with official looting

Ghanaians are tired of hiking almost all the time.This is because the leaders don't use common sense, they use procrastination.Instead of doing things before they assess, they assessed before, they procrastinate and then find out how out they were.I find it hard to believe all these hikes in utilities.The problems are not solve they are still there but have increase payments.Payment for none existence of utilities or for the perging utility.Tis is where common sense logic lies Please fix the problem before you increase your price.what do you want us to pay for?
