    It is an insult coming from the wrong person,- John Dariga Mahama whose economy was the most stupidest of all. The DUMSOR KID single-handedly destroyed our industries.

    How would a Togolese like Franklin Cudjoe understand that what his master Mahama said is an insult in Ghanaian culture? He is Togolese trokosi Ayigbe after all and he is defending the flagbearer of the party of Ayigbes.

    @Shade's. Call someone who a fool ? The economy is someone too ? Or the one who destroyed it ? You fools need to understand proper Queens language.

  • Kwabs, London 1 year ago

    Did Mahama refer to Bawumia as stupid? It appears you Ghanaians don't understand English. Yes, the economy is stupid.Akuffo-Addo and Bawumia have made it stupid.

  • Kwami 1 year ago

    Kwabs tell us the difference between these two statements:
    1.We are talking about the stupid economy.
    2. We are talking about the economy, stupid.

  • Obrempong 1 year ago

    "The economy, stupid is same as Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana" That is emphasis in English grammar.

    That's your opinion. This is what we call spinning.

  • Atsemei 1 year ago

    How can this your big mouth not defend the stupidity of mahama?
    Ghana has stooped so low for such ragamuffians to run their mouths in everything.

  • Dungeon Master 1 year ago

    Franklin Cudjoe may be stupid, and he may be defending Mahama. But Akuffo Addo and Bawumia have been in charge of our economy since 2016. How are people feeling about the economy, which has messed up people's lives?
