AUTHOR: CLOSE OBSERVER-------- Stupid people are dominating our leadership positions. NDC does not believe that Ghanaians are suffering. Ghanaians will therefore not see the end of their problems until the USELESS NDC government is voted out in 2016. JOHN MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS JUST CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE AN AFRICAN MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM AND HIS MEDIOCRE NDC GOVERNMENT OUT IN 2016. NDC NOW WANT MONEY FOR THEIR DIRTY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, HENCE THE PRICE HIKE.

N.P.P is desperate to come to power because they want to continue with their dubious cocaine dealings. N.P.P as a party is characterized by thievery and cocaine.we vividly remember how Eric Amoateng,went to jail,in theUS for heroin trafficking. Amoateng was arrested in 2005 for smuggling 136lbs of heroin into Newark airport. He was jailed in 2007 by a US court after resigning his seat but enjoyed significant support from fellow NPP MPs.this is pathetic and N.P.P will not be given the chance to continue with this. Mahama as always will continue to transform Ghana. his establishment of the university of health and allied sciences at ho has achieved remarkable success stories because so far 2,300 students have been enrolled.

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from an 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.

The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six ( Christian churches. This was deliberate and not a mistake. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a leader.

What useless, baseless and fictitious allegations. these are just plain remarks from a jealous individual Ghanaian. during Kuffour's era, Addo Kuffour, brother of Kuffour was also named one of the richest men in Ghana. this is plain propaganda and lies from a hypocritical party member. Mahama will continue to invest in the fortunes of this country and change the lives of the citizens. his continuation of the U.S 264 million national medical equipment replacement program so far has provided for over 150 hospital nationwide and this move is to increase access to health care delivery

I almost choked on my puke when I read this coming from a so-called eminent economist. Government according to your doctrine should not engage in business, government should not borrow, then how do you expect government to raise revenue? We live in an economy with high infrastructure deficit, and when taxes are raised to tackle the deficit, you go on over-drive with your drivel. You know why the economy of Greece is in shambles, because they refused to levy taxes. Do us a favour and provide us with a list of comparison of taxes in the Ecowas region. It's only then that Ghanaian will be able to make informed decisions. Poor Bawumia should stop the propaganda and be realistic for once. an economist my foot.

A recount of the sale of government bungalows and public lands to Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, President Kufour, Kwadwo Mpiani and other NPP Ministers and cronies points to evidence of corruption as well. N.P.P are full of hypocrites and liars. they envy those who are making it in government because they forget that they have also toiled and worked for their monies.This agenda of Ghanaians will not work for the N.PP.Ghanaians know that Mahama is working, even the prisoners in Ghana know it. Mahama is working on a new block designated at Nsawam to De-congest the prison and this construction will begin this year.
