Crime is legalized from the presidency thats why it appears to have dropped but the truth is its increased a million times over.Dont mind the idiot fool Debra.It was JJ their founder who started the practice for over 30years of hyped up hate , insults and baseless accusations camouflaged by propaganda lies. Today in the media ndc after being battered on the ropes for so long, is now totally knocked out in an unconscious coma.Today 9 out of 10 Ghanaians will publicly declare themselves against the corrupt NDC but we know many still harbor a secret affiliation as tribalism/hegemony will not allow them to give up the war against the Akans.After this media blitzkrieg what is needed is for the NPP ,NDP, CPP and PPP to organize the final blows by mounting a proper grassroots house to house campaign in every constituency to ensure ndc doesn't even get 1 % of the vote and to get the true feedback of what the people really need. Say something we dont know , ndc is going and we will never allow them to come back.Now even the ndc are privately campaigning for npp in the hope that we Akans do not take over. In their minds they think that NPP is better than the Akan freedom movement and as a compromise will rather settle for that but little do they know after we boot out ndc we shall also boot out NPP because they want Ghana with these pepeni/ayigbe retrogressive tribes. At independence the Ewes and Northerners opted to join Ghana but they did not ask if we opted to accept them , we dont. Kuffuor has betrayed the NPP as this is evident since we noticed in many things including fund raising in Kumasi that none of the businessmen affiliated with him contributed a single cedi to support the party but continue to connive and scheme with ndc traitors to sabotage. We now have another discriminatory situation in our register whereby JJ's daughter, Togolese ,Ivorian s ,Nigerians and Burkina are welcome to vote but our own over ten million strong Akan diaspora dual citizens are denied this right because pepeni/ayigbe criminals must rule at all costs. Their fake ass constitution says we are all equal but we have a privileged caste of northerners who have the right for free education at our expense and all juicy govt appointments including presidency yet no lawyer has brought this before the courts because they judiciary is corrupt to the core. No country , not Israel , not Germany , Not Japan or any other has succeeded in developing by excluding their diaspora as 99% of all future investment will come from them or facilitated through them. The hate of these pepeni/ayigbe mafia is so great its turned them into idiotic stupid fools who dig their own graves before shooting themselves in the head. We saw recently one truck load of bullets worth over 20 million on the black market being imported by these pepeni/ayigbe criminals in the hope that they can cause chaos and plunge this country into war as many more have passed through the porous borders.Am looking forward to the time the first bullet will be fired as that will mean the end of the 4th constitution and will annul all amnesty given to JJ and others so we can persecute them for murder , corruption and crimes against the people. Once we thought we may need to mobilize about 10% of our people but since their security forces and army are so unprofessional and useless we will need less than 1% with 5000 highly motivated to defend ourselves. Yes they have hundreds of millions of stolen loot so they can waste our money on this mischief of oppression and war but we are ready. Ghana belongs to the Akans and they give our country the name of a failed state proclaiming it good and i wonder why the Europeans dont call Italy the roman empire or the USA the Mayan state.Very soon we shall be free with a country without these pepeni/ayigbe good for nothing devils.They now prefer NPP because they fear the alternative our free Akan movement that grows bigger and stronger every day. Since it doesn't matter how the people vote but who counts the vote we shall make sure we encourage all learned people to register themselves as polling agents and we shall see if ndc will get even 3 votes after we finish. yes this year we boot them out never to come back again.The should start packing so they leave in peace or suffer the consequences.

Gov't is not supposed to create jobs but enabling environment for people like you to create jobs but you spend 24 hrs. on ghanaweb making comments on every single issue. When do you find time to reflect on your own responsibility to create a single job? Building roads, bridges and schools is actually direct responsibility of gov't since no individual(record shows) will spend even a penny to pave 3 feet of road to their own house.

Yet we fail to realize that Government can;t do it all. we also need to start initiatives on our own which are entrepreneurial in nature which can employ others.

Ekow there is no deception in here. When the Technical Universities Bill which the NDC governemnt has tabled before parliament is passed this year our Polytechnics will be transformed to Technical Universities. And Conversion of each polytechnic will be based on assessment in the area of equipment, faculty and strong collaboration with industry. This in turn will make it more attractive to the youth and this programme occupies a strategic place within President Mahama’ initiative and it is aimed at driving employment and wealth-creation.

Yes, we need to be positive to support the idea of the president to prioritize technical education, if for the past years nobody including the other political party, the NPP that ruled did much for the technical sector.

All came but never talk much about Technical education, as we are all in love with secondary but not technical. Another point of interest to note is that nationally including all our so called educated people, very few gave attention to technical education and if today we are hearing of it then I personally see it as a new dawn that has befallen us.

Therefore all we need to do is to support such an idea wholeheartedly so that with cooperation we shall have the technical education we so much need for our nation's development. I think we rather have to be thankful to our dear president who showed interest in the area of education in question.

I had never dreamt of any of our technical experts in Ghana who had come out with the greatest desire, emphasizing the greatest importance that technical studies owes to our national development, and that they had therefore called on the government of the day with this intelligent protest or pressure so that a government would wake up to realise the reality and the urgent need in the actions of our technical experts, so that their advice could be accepted for the development of the technical education in Ghana.

I see it that we just ought to throw away political sentiments and see how best we can wish the government of the day the sucess of the implementation of the wonderful vision of technical education in Ghana with the greatest priority.

Mr president pls, let the prioritisation starts right now by giving us hundred (100) technical, vocational and skills training schools out of the ya proposed 200 u have started building. put the needed adjustments into the existing arrangement and deliver us 100 T&V schools now. we have been paying too much lip service to this sector of our education for far too long. its time we put our feet down and give it the serious attention it deserves...our curriculum planners at the tertiary level have also not help matters by been exclusively too protective of the status quo, humanities and humanities all along giving no room for products from our technical and vocational institutes or schools to enter or be admitted directly to do their degrees yet are quick to start new faculties on more humanities and social sciences. technical and vocational students are always frustrated with unnecessary and often time 'useless' requirements essentially demanding traditional criteria example; demanding english and mathematics...all these must stop as it is only creating wanton wastages of unused capacities, talents, human resource and very critical and needed creativity in the system....

It is unfortumate that most of the headmasters of the sec/technical school head are cheats who collect more fees than should collect from the students, just like the head of Mfantsipim did.

In real times if Mahama's NDC government want to convince parents and the public voters that he meant business in the educational areas then he should deal drastically with these crooked headmasters/headmistresses of the many schools that are charging more than expected fees.

In my opinion the priority given to technical, vocational etc areas are sin qua non to national development of any nation that wants to spearhead in all areas of development. If there happen to be research into the Chines strategy of development it could be surely found out that their development hangs on technical education. Even this is clearly seen in German's strategic policy of education towards development.

I wish what Maham's government is talking about of the technical education priority should not be ''the usual 7 days wonder'' of good talks by most Black African politicians but most times never get fulfilled.

In rounding up this comment I wish Ghanaians could cooperate genuinely from the root of their hearts and thus give all our support to this vision of upholding Technical/vocatiuonal education in the highest level so as to take away the stigma attached to Technical education that it is the less educated folks that go into technical education.

Lets help our nation by getting together to kill the negative perception about technical education in Ghana. Lets cheer up our students that are in the technical field of studies, so that their good efforts will earn all of us a future of development and progress like the Asia Tigers, India and the champion's of today's economic power house CHINA

It had been like the technical degree, certificate and diploma holders had proved less intelligence always and therefore run away from the public discussion of educational issues, which leave no room for technical possibilities hence pupils psychologically have no interest in technical education.
