This is cosmetic. Will Kufour receive royalty for allowing the FPSO to bear his name? I'll if anything at all prefer my name being on a street than a vessel on the sea that not many people will see.

When Osagyefuo Kuntunkunku ll died, he was then President of the National House of Chiefs. As such he was alllocated a Toyota Landcruiser driven by one Musa. Then President Rawlings prevailed upon by then Vice President Mills allowed heir apparent Nana Kwame Amoatia Boakye now Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin to use the said vehicle instead of being given to Odeefuo Boa Amponsem, Vice President of the ?NHC who became acting President of the NHC. The question is where is that vehicle? Let the Okyenhene return that vehicle to the state. The Akyem Tafohene, Hon Ohene Kena, Hon Owuraku Amofa, H.E. Kwaku Danso Boafo, H.E. Pres J J Rawllings etc will all attest to this. The driver of the ash Toyota Landcruiser is called Musa who can be located from the inventory of drivers from eithet the Chieftancy Secretariat or the Ministry of Chieftancy Affairs. The vehicle belongs to the State and must be returned no matter the perio?.

When Kufuor rehabilitated theAccra High Street into a dual carriage road NDC named it after Mills whose only achievement was that he died as sitting President.

Stop exposing your ignorance and idiocy. Go educate yourself on the facts, about what Mills was able to achieve in his 3 years in office.

THIS IS LAUGHABLE - WHO ACTUALLY DISCOVERED OIL/GAS FOR GHANA...WAS IT MAHAMA????? haaaaaaaaba!!!! Which government wouldn't have continued with the building of all the infrastructure for the oil industry after it's discovery....any Government coming after JAK's discovery had NO CHOICE TO STOP THE BUILDING AND CONTINUATION OF THE OIL INDUSTRY FOR ITS COMMERCIALIZATION. SO NDC SHOULD STOP WORRYING OUR YEARS WITH THE CLAIM FOR THAT CREDIT!!!

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI
FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING”
A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING.
The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING.
If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe.
Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth.
On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety.
The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission.
This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable.
The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

Mahama betrayers are the CPP old guards who didnt allow him to his job well. The old guards confused Mahama in such a way that the 'small boys' with 'sharp teeth' were able to manipulate him to get down on his knees. But with such a decision we all applaud Mahama of NDC for at least doing one good thing, except that he couldn't finish up the inland port and the Kumasi international airport which in that case was a B minus . kwaku

None of our immediate past Presidents JJ, Kuffour, Mills, Mahamma deserves this kind of acknowledgement - they did nothing to merit such a long lasting recognition. They ascended to the throne, with their cronies in tow, to enrich themselves. They cared less of us! The sooner we stop/bar this behavior of heaping praises simply because one is/was a President, the earlier we would find someone who is willing to serve!

With the Ashante tribal and political hate dominating their mindsets it is clear that left with the Ashantes within the NPP there is no way they can do what Mahama did in relation to the naming of the FPSO after Kufour.

This action of the ex-president Mahama is what a rational fellow we call it morality and coperation for national unity. Averagely Ashantes lack understanding in many areas of life so they see everything personal hence misinterprete every political issue and translate it into litigation, abuse and sadly even cursing with the involking of river deities, namely ANTOA, a thing that talks very bad about them as people.

I know what l put through is a fact about them and it hurts so they will be embarrased and thus try to fight back with abusive mentality, a style that always put them in the negative picture that they are not matured when sharing togetherness with other people different from their primitive minds.

One can even see the mindsets that they come out to show in relation to this kind gesture from Mahama. Instead they have turned the whole issue into non appreciative talks of abusive and negative comments. They do all these because they were not trained to know how to say thank you when you are not an Ashante.

They can hypocritically say thanks when they know you are with the NPP, the only political party they have villageously known in politics, that is why all of them support the NPP even if the NPP is on the wrong path in its political utterances and actions. It is unfortunate that the NPP is influenced with the negative mindset of the Ashantes litigational drive.
