President Mahama and the NDC are delivering on their promises. At the moment a total of 1,614 out of 2,578 basic school projects have been completed under the Schools Under Trees programme. The remaining are due for completion in the medium term. The NDC certainly has the interest of our future leaders at heart.

It is pathetic, the way some of us are cultured. The amount of insults you rain on the President would not change any thing about the reality.

And what is the reality? He has like no other president in history, invest into the massive development of our education sector.

In just three years, over 800,000 employment opportunities have been created.

In the last three years, 1200 CHPs compound have been put across the country.

This is a government for the people.

What is the useless talk here? Is it a useless talk to say, there is really the need to eliminate schools under trees? How pathetic and unfortunate our leaders have become because followers like you have refused to see reason where reason is.

Eliminating schools under trees is a good priority and must be embraced by all and sundry.

The situation where we kind of politicize every issue in Ghana is so pathetic and that would only hinder the progress we yearn to see as a people.

The very day the NPP shall desist from spreading untrue, I believe President Mahama will equally stop singing the praise of the numerous project it has undertaken.

Mahama has obviously done very well especially in the area of education. His promise of 200 community schools is a perfect example of his resolve to do.

He is the President with the future of the ordinary man at heart, and we appreciate him for that.

The riddle after a second thought i think better defines the state of affairs of the NPP in its currently.

Where the party of its caliber has been sink down the drain by one man in the name of flagbearer.

The NPP has simply become a party of no order, but things are done disorderly.

I do not think we have to make the mistake of entrusting our futures into such hands.

A stupid man as you may call him has impact a lot of chances in the lives of Ghanaians. If you move to the various regions, one will give you a vivid account of what the presdient has done. In Brong Ahafo, when the community SHS was commissioned the chief complained how students walk to a far distance to schools. He was pleased with the work of the president. This is what he call working for you, changing lives and transforming Ghana.

That's why ex-Prez Kuffour built schools during his tenure of office and didn't make noise about it. Your bogus NDC gov't have started bragging about some "imaginary" projects esp. roads you've constructed in foreign countries like that found in Australia and recently those you're plan on doing in neighbouring Togo, just to entice foreigners to register and vote in Ghana.

Mr. President, you said it loud and clear that: "building schools, roads etc, were exercise in futility" when Kuffour's gov't informed Ghanaians what his gov't had done with Ghana's money. And as such it was no news. Yet you turn around and ask Ghanaians to applaud what you've done; the very same type of project you laughed others about. Are you real or have lost your memory? I'm just wondering!

Under your presidency, Ghana's economy has suffered lots of losses; the Cedi continues to lose it's value against international currencies, unemployment is high, as college and university graduates, esp. nurses and teachers can't find jobs.

All the social intervention programs instituted by ex-Prez Kuffour, esp. NHIS, School Feeding Program, Capitation grant, Free Metro Mass Transport for School kids, Free Maternal Care have collapsed under your watch. Corruption and embezzlement of state funds in high gov't circles is high; GYEEDD, SADA and Bus Rebranding among others are just a few of the horrible thievery Ghanaians have discovered, notable among them is SADA, which the saddest of all corruption cases. Imagine all the Guinea Fowls that was the main project, decided to fly to Burkina and Togo, when the Media and observers tried to inquire how far the project success had been?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself when you look into the eyes of Ghanaians and try to make up funny stories? It's clear that the NDC is Sasabonsam party and will lie until thy kingdom come!

Get ready to exit the Jubilee House before it's too late. Because Ghanaian are fed up with your incompetency and bogus way of running the affair of our dear nation. People are suffering; the center cannot hold, as things continue to fall apart for everyone. Get lost!

It is commendable that gov't is working to eliminate the schools under trees.

This phenomenon is a national disgrace. We must set aside a budget purposely for building schools for these children.
