Ghanaians, get ready for the bumpy road ahead, and you will love it more than the ball of kenkey you voted for. The IMF and the World Bank know who and what John Mahama is and will deal with him squarely.

Mahama approached the IMF when there was no worldwide pandemic and what are some of the stern instructions given to him by those institutions? To those Ghanaians who care more about "FOOD" that kenkey that you want Mahama to come and give you will not happen because he cannot do it.

Do some of you understand the meaning to re-negotiate the IMF, World Bank agreement? Just hold on and if it materializes, you will hear what Mahama will tell you fools who were expecting him to share kenkey for you every morning.

You forgot to add the last time John Mahama went to these institutions Otumfuo held his hand thru the back door b4 he could see them.The measures they will ask him to go thru will be hasher than what they gave Ken Ofori Atta and Akuffo Addo. I could forsee Ama Ghana jumping from a frying pan to fire.The high expectations Ghanaians had in this guy will vanish by the 3rd month of 2025

Please keep awAy from those mad prople called Russians. Why some of your harbour suicidal thoughts. Have you not seen what the Russians are doing to their own cousins, kith and kin whom they promised to protect after the Ukrainians handed over their nuclear weapons to them.

Go and befriend them and see what they do to you one day when they will claim Ghana was established by Myrovic Kelensky in 1897 and was stolen from them by the British,so if Ghanaians refuse to learn Russia their nuclear submarines are just lying off Chorkor beach and will start throwing missiles into Makola.

Keep far away from those mad Russians and seek help for your unhealthy thoughts!

@Pelicies, JDM has realised that it's not going to be easy but surprisingly, his supporters think otherwise. They think under JDM Ghanaians will live comfortably, it's like everything will be fine, we are going to have a perfect governance.

The reality is that JDM can be good but his appointees can let him down. I always say that people should manage their expectations for JDM. They should pray for him to succeed. That's most important thing to do.

24HR RENEGOTIATION!. 1 year ago

Sit at the IMF Offices looking at their faces until they get tired and renegotiate the loan. For good measure get about 100 footsoldiers to block their gates for 24hrs and you will get a free $1billion from the IMF!

The country has a new President
Tragic
But, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
So
I wish JDM and his administration nothing but the best.

However,
Let's all be real here.
The economic assassins--- IMF, World Bank got their Man and his name is JDM.
The country's social intervention programs defended by your forward thinking administration of NADA-A will all be scuttled...
Wanna bet...?
For
I am ready to bet ten kenkeys to one that the first casualty on the assassins list will be the free senior high school education program, which their Man, and the Man you chose out of your own volution as the leader of Nkrumah's Ghana, campaigned on restructuring.
He'll simply ask "Where do I sign?"
The tragedy of this decision would be the various States in The Continent which came to Ghana to study SHS system to implement in their home States. They'll all stay away. Who wants to sacrifice their political power on the altar of political expediency?
Second casualty.
The country's national health insurance scheme (NHIS)...a health insurance scheme which provides coverage for almost all Ghanaians.
A benefit many of these bozos from the the IMF, World bank have. either being an employer sponsored plan or if from . say France, where the head of the IMF is from, covered under their country's health insurance program.
A plan she won't dare to even criticize for the "Yellow jackeketers" will tear her from limb to limb.
But,
She and her assassins will only take it away from BLack people, because in their minds black lives don't matter.

You watch..
in less than six (6) months from their Man's inauguration the programs would all be in the dust bin of history.
So,
Here's my question.
How could a supposedly sophisticated electorate vote against their own collective self interest ?
Is it the altar of instant gratification..... once again being pacified ?
Gosh...
How I wished Osagyefo had gotten out of his crypt to admonish the electorate before Dec 07,'24 with his lamentation after his overthrow, for he said " I could have provided Ghanaians with the "essential commodities" of imported sardines, corned beef, etc.. but I used the money to build the Tema motorway, Tema harbor, Gihoc, etc., a testament to a visionary leader.

I just can't fathom it.
And
I get the corruption and the haughtiness that have tarred the NPP and its surrogates as evidenced by the retribution on TV and Radio by the pundits
But, those alone shouldn't be the criteria...for rent-seekers are everywhere as long as there's a democracy.
Fellas,
Elections have consequences...
An as the sages of old keep reminding us "You've made your bed sleep in it.

But,
Regardless.
I am sanguine..
That the new administration will do the best it can.
And,
I pray it succeeds.
For .
As The Continent sages keep reminding us "as Ghana goes so goes Africa."

Our mindset is similar to a swarm of locusts that hate green vegetation. I have made the same prediction about the free SHS, the NHIS and the rest that they will be the first casualties under Mahama and those who wish for kenkey will rather be given stones.

NPP is handling these programs and still honoring IMF deals, but can Mahama do that? It is so sad, but we are waiting.

Even an SHS Economist student can renegotiate an IMF loan with longer terms of payment at higher interest rates. This is no rocket science.

What real leaders do is to do the headwork to identify core sectors of the economy to support with the right investments, policies, human capital (the photosynthesis of growth) to grow the economy and help repay the debt.

Sitting at the IMF Office and in less than an hour signing a piece of paper to extend the loan duration at higher interrst rates is no solufion to the perinial and myriad economic problems the natipn faces.
