A dying man gives each of his best friends -- a lawyer, doctor and clergyman -- an envelope containing $25,000 in cash to be placed in his coffin.

A week later the man dies and the friends each place an envelope in the coffin. Several months later, the clergyman confesses that he only put $10,000 in the envelope and sent the rest to a mission in South America.

The doctor confesses that his envelope had only $8,000 because he donated to a medical charity.

The lawyer is outraged, "I am the only one who kept my promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained my own personal check for the entire $25,000."

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
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.

Are we supposed to read this incompetent pathetic letter and have pity on the blundering fake doctor fool. Countries in the middle of wars and able to solve these problems in days and not waste a whole year doing fuck all. Foolish corrupt Donkor , the only reason why it took so long was that he needed to reject more viable cheaper proposals( for which we have evidence) in order to proclaim the Ameri deal the best , it was selfish greed that brought you and the whole ndc down

Author:-tontrobi....
Indiscreet and insensitive statements like this by a person who has been appointed to head the EC by a govt whose stay in power was largely determined by either the dishonesty or incompetence of Afari-Gyan, now confirms to all of us that the woman is not impartial.

So far everything that has come out of her mouth over the past few days, shows that she has been put into that position to do a hatchet job for the NDC.

At the very least, even if she is not partisan, this woman is not mature enough to hold such a sensitive public position. She should know that the subject of Afari-Djan raise strong emotions in the public domain and for her to overlook those concerns and to go ahead and publicly praise him simply means that she is either looking for trouble or she is not sensible enough to know what she is doing or where she is at.

I do not hold any political sympathies for the NPP but looking at current developments, I have a deep worry about the future of the country.

Did he resign because he didn't accomplish the 1% he was talking about days before? What a joke of a minister. He knows he was a failure.

He asked for extra 2 weeks and if we are honest the situation has improved at least 65%. Leave politics behind and assess the man. It's a pity for co him to resign.

Who knows if the December relieve was not a camoflag. NDC think they can tighten us for three years and give us a relieve on the election so that we can vote for them, but that is not going to happen any longer.

Mahama was the failure but probably not Donkor. NDC has failed Ghana through the leadership of John Incompetent-Corrupt Dramani Mahama. Thanks to God, Ghana will be delivered in 2016 because NDC/Mahama will be no more.

It is always said that an average Arab is worse than an infidel. Arabs always look for soft spots to loot and cheat and they have found a perfect partner in the Mahama Looting Dynasty. Kwabena Donkor was only used as a tool to siphon money from Ghanaians to the Arabian shores and he is now regretting.
The average Arab is lazy and only takes delight in enjoying at the expense of other people’s blood and sweat. From time immemorial, Arabs have been passing their sons and daughters in the fire – human sacrifices – in other to acquire wealth. If they can do this to their own sons and daughters what do you think they will do to a mere black monkey. The Arab sees a black African as their God-ordained slave and so they have the divine right to exploit every black African; hence, the audacity of this stupid Sheik to tell Ghanaians that this stinking AMERI deal is clean.
Remember, Arabs were at the forefront of the infamous Trans-Sahara Slave Trade where they could carry 1000 African Slaves to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and only 20 of them would arrive safely. In contemporary times, they sponsored the wicked regimes of Gen Idi Amin and Gen Sani Abacha. Now that oil prices are tumbling, the Arabian prince has found another partner in crime in Prez Mahama and his looting family and friends.

That's the business of the former minister,what was his business promising to resign if he failed to bring the power crisis to an end knowing very well the problem had nothing to do with him as a head of the power ministry?his appointment gave the energy minister Armah Kofi Buah a great relief thereby turning the heat on the former power minister unduelly,the problem as we all know was non availability of cash to buy crude oil to power the plants.Already the president wanted to replace him with John Jinapoh but didn't just know how,so now that he has sacked himself he should wait and see if there ll be any appointment to that ministry,John ll act till the end of elections,this president is so confuse when it comes to appointing good and right people to help him run his government effectively.So many of the departmental head re on contracts,Controller and Accountant General is old for the job,Auditors General is on contract and all this people can be replaced for effective government business to flow as its demoralizing to the people who re qualify and in fact doing all the jobs at the afore mentioned departments.Ghanains should rather vote the NDC out as a bunch of jokers in office,Npp is a better party to run the affairs of Ghana.
