Hei Gbwei you're right to say that they don't respect us. Respect is cannot be grabed by the roadside it is earn according to deads so since you cannnot share a plate with a mad person it is the same. In Ghana we invite strangers to come and help us destroy our future, land & rivwrs whereas in China a single lie carries death penalty so you see the difference? Let's change the way we think and people will treat us with respect. Even people we call honourables in this country are not doing the honourable things. since we don't respect ourselves other people can hardly respect us.

... are mainly found in peoples bedrooms because they don't want to subject themselves to inspection and avoid paying tax.

When they see the police coming they suddenly start playing music and forcing everyone eating or not to start dancing to prove to the police that its a private Party. When did Ghanaians start dancing with a half eaten tilapia in their hands on the dance floor.

No wonder they grow and die in those small bedrooms whilst the Ethiopian, Lebanese and Indian Restaurants grow in leaps and bounds

*AKUFO ADDO IS A TROJAN HORSE-BEWARE!!!*

Make no mistake! Akufo Addo is Intolerant, Vindictive and Arrogant and that's the brand he brings to the 2016 December Elections for which he and his NPP must be exposed for who they truly are. It is under him that NPP as a party has seen the worst violence and in-fighting which threatens even the security of the state. It is under him that the first Northern Chairman of the NPP was forcefully removed from office and many other elected executives too.

For a party that claims to be apostles of democracy but yet remains very Intolerant to opposing views under the watch of Mr William Akufo Addo is deeply laughable.

When Akufo Addo lost the 2008 elections, he never conceded. When he lost the 2012 Elections, he never conceded. For a long time after losing the frivolous Supreme Court case he initiated out of desperation to become President at all cost, he insisted on his profile on Facebook boldly written that the "Will of the People Has been Stolen from them". No wonder Kofi Koomson of the Chronicle newspaper said he wouldn't be safe with Akufo Addo as President. How is such a desperate character a true democrat?

Now to the most important issues:

a) Can Mr William Akufo Addo tell Ghanaians where he obtained his Law Degree from?

b) Can he tell Ghanaians why he failed to resolve the case of the 44 Ghanaians that were murdered in Gambia as Foreign Minister?

c) Can he tell Ghanaians why he dropped out of Oxford University?

d) Can he tell Ghanaians why his In-Law Raymond Amankwah is languishing in jail abroad for dealing in drugs?

e) Can he tell Ghanaians why Bawumiah never wins elections even in his home town and why the NPP never wins election at Wenchi, KA Busia's hometown where NDC keeps winning?

f) Can Mr William Akufo Addo tell Ghanaians what he was able to accomplish for Akyem Abuakwa (Kyebi) in his 12 years of being an MP...but for John Mahama water wouldn't have been extended to his own people?

g) Can he tell Ghanaians where he gets the millions of dollars of money for his opulent campaign yet keeps screaming hardship as his chorus to the masses?

h) Can Mr William Akufo Addo tell Ghanaians when was the last time he boarded a TROTRO as he suddenly did in 2008 because of his desperation for votes?

i) Can he tell Ghanaians what motivated him to act very wickedly by withdrawing the courtesy and protocol accorded former President Rawlings when he became Foreign Minister yet turn around with the late friend Jake Otanka Obetsebi Lamptey to call on President Rawlings for his approval to become President in 2012? The very man he once called *Sasabonsam*. The height of desperation in 2012 by Mr William Akufo Addo!

j) Can he tell Ghanaians whether he has seen the 123 new classroom blocks built by President John Mahama as well as the expanded Takoradi Port, Kumasi Airport, Ho Airport, Wa Airport, Saglemi Mass Housing, new Tamale International Airport, the massive road construction nationwide, the Ridge Hospital, Police Hospital, New University of Ghana Teaching Hospital, the Cocoa Roads, the 17 District Hospitals (Dodowa, Tema Com 3, Tepa, Fomena etc etc), Cape Coast Stadium, Kotokraba Market, Ho Market, Circle Interchange, Kasoa Interchange, new 37 Hospital in Ashanti, Komenda Sugar Factory, Kumasi Shoe Factory, Western Diamond Cement Plant in Takoradi, the renovated Bulk Oil Facility at Bolgatanga, the Cocoa Roads, the new Kejetia Market, the Digital Migration of TV, the increase in Mobile Money usage, the Accra Digital Centre, the Job 600, the UHAS University in Ho, the over 1,000 CHIPS Clinics, the 40 million gallons Kpong Water Processing Plant, the Buipe Cement Plant, the many Aayalolo Buses, the Trade Fair to Flower Port Roads, the Awoshie-to-Pokuase Roads, the 100,000 youth employed under YEA, the 110 million Cocoa seedlings planted in 3 years since 2014 and on and on and on all done by President John Mahama? Why would an honest person say he doesn't see these as development?

k) Can he tell Ghanaians why he tells his team he prefers loyalty to competence yet screams at a performing President when he is incompetent in keeping his own party together?

It is so ironic that the same man who shamelessly asked the votes of 7 million Ghanaians to be canceled so that he can become President will keep going round asking this same 7 million Ghanaians to vote for him to become President. It just shows he lacks any integrity!

It's ridiculous they scream Let My Vote Count yet wanted 7 million votes cancelled for their demi-god to become President of Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana. Ridiculous!

*It is ridiculous that the same man who rejected change within his party for 12 years plus by insisting to be the only leader of NPP but no one else, will have the audacity to call on Ghanaians to change a sitting President who has brought so much development to Ghana in less than four (4) years*.
Mr William Akufo Addo would have resigned honourably to allow a younger generation of leaders to lead Ghana and his party but his desperation to become President would not allow him.

All in all, he who calls for equity must come with clean hands cleans. The man Akufo Addo has many questions than answers hanging around his neck. A very dangerous Trojan Horse in the December 7 elections that the silent majority of Ghanaians must totally reject and give him permanent political retirement.

In a nutshell, the man Akufo Addo is a walking contraction. He is a Trojan Horse that must be avoided and rejected by all Ghanaians come 7th December 2016.

Enough is enough!
