Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. His request to maintain his official bungalow is a ploy to court public sympathy. He is creating the impression that he did not amass wealth whilst in office. The guy is a crook..

I don't know if your emphasis is on the fact that he copied 2 of US presidents. If not then he isn't the one who first did this. Former president Manama's speech had plagiarism in it too. We all use other people's statements one way or the other as long as it fits the bill. Yes, it would have been better if he or the person in charge of his speech rephrase it. This is not a secondary school speech so next time they shd be careful. We all can learn from this. Having said this, Akufo addo's speech still stands in my opinion as the best in Ghana's presidential inauguration speech. Ghana's future is bright and we all have a role to play!

It will be a gargantuan shame if the plagiarized inaugural SHAME is not expunged. A serious dent on the image of not only parliament but the country and its people as well. Kwame Nkrumah has been let down.

Not true bro. Over 300 lines of great speech like never before in the history of Ghana and you get to make noise over 3 lines or so of plagiarism? Cumon, let's put partisan to sleep in Ghana and embrace good governance for once. What matters is Ghana, not NDC or NPP. We all have a role in this. What you do in your little world add up to the results of the bigger picture Bros. God bless us all

DONALD TRUMP USED NANA ADDO'S INAUGURAL SPEECH TO JUSTIFY WHY HE IS ALWAYS HARSH ON AFRICANS

The president of the United States of America, Donald Trump said he will continue to hold the neck of Africans if they are not ready to change. He said this when the USA representative who attended Nana Addo's inaugural ceremony reported to him that Ghanaians are complaining that the speech delivered by the new president is full of ideas presented by some past leaders. This is what he put on his Facebook.

"When I take the pain to condemn the THE LAZY AND EFFORTLESS MINDS of my dear inferior African people, others say I am being harsh on them. But trust me, I will continue to hold the neck of Africans if they are not ready to change. If you give them raw food, they ask you to cook for them. All they need is to sit down and fill their CLUMSY stomachs.

I don't like them and I will not do them any undeserved honour. But manner in which the Ghanaian people changed government without any blood shed deceived me to think that they were coming to their senses. I thought they did well and I honoured them by sending a delegate to represent our dear nation.

But I was surprised to be told by my delegate that the people of Ghana said the speech delivered by their new president is full of ideas presented by some past leaders including our former president; Bush. I have read the speech and it is all true. Was he to tell his people his own visions or to present a catchy speech? And when I say it, people say I am inhumane. I'm glad the Ghanaian people are condemning their own laziness. Maybe they are coming to their senses. "

Lol. Lazy and effortless mind is that of Trumps own wife who plagiarised most of her speech recently. He is very disrespectful and an upportunist who takes advantage of anything to justify his nonsense comments. I believe it's time Africans believe in themselves and take care of our own affairs to get our respect back from these idiots. They legally steal bread and cheese from you and in return give us bread crumbs. Let's wake up. Africa and it's resources for the African people first. We are not poor. We just poorly manage what we have. God help us.

Atta Akyea has given notice of the way they NPP, are determined to bully their way in Parliament by making a categorical statement that that disgraceful will not be EXPUNGED.

I am aware that the NDC has always behaved as though they represent the most peaceful party by leting NPP always have their way. This behaviour has resulted in NDC being VOTED out of Office despite the overwhelming developmental projects former President Mahama did within his short period in power.

The NDC members of parliament must not allow themselves this time to be cowed into submision by accepting that SPEECH to remain on Parliamentary RECORDS. They should for this once, demonstrate their opposition by, if need be, STAGE THE FIRST WALK-OUT over the FRAUD President Akuffo Addo wanted to visit on Ghanaians even when the whole WORLD was focused on Ghana.
