Akenten Appiah Mensah’s Civil War In Ghana

Most adult Ghanaians know very well that BLOODSHED in Ghana politics did not start with Rawlings AFRC or the PNDC military juntas in 1979 and 1981, it rather started in the 1950’s between the murderous National Liberation Movement (NLM thugs with (Mate Meho) as its local name and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s grassroot progressive CPP Party which defeated the NLM in three elections which the British had wanted Dr. Busia to win, but he lost heavily in all those elections conducted by the British in 1951, 1954 and 1956 respectively.
Ghanaians have always proved themselves FALSELY as being a PEACE LOVING and CULTURED people to whom VIOLENCE is an aberration rather than a norm. however, violence, extreme greed, tribalism and blood letting was a norm and is still the norm of the Danquah/Busia tradition which the NPP represent today 2010 in this country. If they are NOT in power, innocent Ghanaians MUST DIE whilst they sent their family members outside the country to live safely. It is the gods of Ghana and the Creator Himself who compelled Appiah Menkah to open his foul mouth to shamefully tell Ghanaians and the whole world that the NPP was planning to plunge Ghana into a CIVIL WAR in 1992 when the late Prof. Adu Boahen lost the presidential elections to J. J. Rawlings and went on to boycott the parliamentary elections in that year. The country experienced several bomb explosions nationwide in 1992.
The fact remains that the CULTURE of political violence in Ghana politics was initiated by persons from the Danquah/Busia tradition which the NPP represents today in the same way as the culture of military intervention in politics was introduced by the same violent politicians from the Danquah/Busia tradition through their attempt to even overthrow Dr. Nkrumah’s CPP government in 1958 barely one year after Ghana attained independence in 1957. when that coup attempt failed, these NLM thugs and tribal bigots resorted to the throwing of countless bombs at CPP rallies in Accra Sports Stadium, Accra Newton and their beastly behaviour compelled the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah to send the Preventive Dention Bill to parliament which was endorsed overwhelming by Parliament and was signed into law by the Governor’s representative, Sir. Arko Korsah of blessed memory.
If they should plunge Ghana into a civil war, then all the leading members of the NPP from the National to the Constituency levels should be wiped off first wherever they are, as well as their families, because if the late Ontumfuo Opoku Ware of blessed memory was NOT a God fearing king like Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Ghana would have been plunged into a civil war, just because the NPP lost the general elections in 1992, isn’t it Mr. Appiah Menkah? If not for the fear of God, the NPP should have been scrapped from the books of Ghanaian politics as a registered political party. How on earth can you declare civil war just because you wanted power and Ghanaian REJECTED you? The NPP spent $47 million and lost the 2008 general elections because Ghanaians are very discerning over the years.
The NPP’s prediction for violence, tribalism, elitism, arrogance and subservience to the orders of international imperialism was not a child’s play, but a FACT if these green eyed murderous goons had come to power in November, 1992.
Mr. Appiah Menkah must bow his THICK HEAD full of evil intentions in shame and get lost from decent society. The NPP falsely believe that Ghana belong to them more than ANY OTHER political party or tribe in this country, but they have always been proved wrong by Ghanaians.
Those who count the number of EXILES and DETAINEES as well as missing people under J. J. Rawlings PNDC regime, must also count the numerous victims of the cowardly and sensless bomb outrages by the Danquah / Busia tradition between 1951 and 1962,.







They must also count the number of exiles, detainees and missing people after the violent overthrow of Dr. Nkrumah’s CPP government on 24th February, 1966 by Col. Kotoka and Brigadier Afrifa and stop breaking the ear drums of well meaning Ghanaians with their so-called property owning democracy where cocaine is sold like oranges throughout the country between 2001-2008. Anyway, there is always blood in the head of a tse-tse fly, so Mr. Appiah Menkah is “RIGHT” in calling for a civil war whilst transporting his family members outside the country for safety. We live to see, let them try to plunge Ghana into a civil war and we all see.

TO THE N. D. C. GOVERNMENT

Is it actually TRUE that former President Rawlings has been sidelined by President Mills government and they are not even on speaking terms in this country as contained in the Africa Watch, July, 2010 monthly magazine? The Minister of Information must come out and clear the air to avoid further silent tension in the NDC grass roots nationwide because they all know the role played by Rawlings during the 2008 general elections. If you treat somebody like a dog for too long “he will bark at you. There are some government officials who are so intoxicated with political power that they can not identify a political disaster when they see one-They should sit down there and intimidate party members and do what they like, and when the people reply them in 2012 with their thumbs, we will then see who is more powerful than the other in this country. Hon. Akolgo Tia, Ghanaians want to hear from you favourable, especially NDC members, and if it turns out to be true, then wonders will really never end in this world.
Big shame unto Appiah Menkah, you must apologise to Ghanaians or………………

I am done! Aluta Continua.
