    Don't go far to punish an innocent person. Mahama is the brain behind it.Asiedu Nketia brought the idea and supported byNDC national council. It is a way to get money for their party.

    Even the so-called British High Commissioner to Ghana has abandoned what used to be called diplomacy in favour of a forthright approach to issues.

    So being the case, hoe come the 'shit-bombing' Field Marshal of Ghana, His ...

    Ambassador Smith should serve Ghana better by referring to what the constitution says on non-discrimination irrespective of one,s status. That is what he should have said and not knowing the position of Ghana on same sex rela ...

    That is Ghana's position. Ghana does not support gay rights.We won't allow whites men to fuck our peoples anus and bring us diseases, and latter tell us that the disease originates from Africa.

    Agbenu, Ghana's position on gay is the law, have we changed the law? It's illegal to practice homosexuality in Ghana, that is the law. I suggest you read the criminal provisions.

    Typical and Childish, mediocre NDC thinking.
    If it's in our laws Nahama must openly state it as Buhari, Mugabe, Yowerri etc have done. It sweeps away all the doubt. MAhama has failed and he is suffering for his inaction. Th ...
