Well said, Mr. President Mahama! a current message 4 the moment, if not the future! We are ripe to stand on our two feet. Let's prove it, not as a rhetorical, just as Ibrahim Traoré is doing in Burkina Faso, as well as even in Afghanistan...turning a failed state into a state to be proud of, and history will reward you!

Mr. Slogan Returns

Mr. Slogan, AFRC-born,
PNDC roots still loud and worn.
“We no go sit down, make them cheat!”
Now recycled lines he repeats.

Reactionary, anti-revo,
New disguise, but same old show.

Mr. Slogan Returns

Mr. Slogan, AFRC-born,
PNDC roots still loud and worn.
“We no go sit down, make them cheat!”
Now recycled lines he repeats.

Reactionary, anti-revo,
New disguise, but same old show.
“24-hour economy!” — clap, clap, clap,
Another slogan, another trap.

He thinks we can’t think far at all,
So slogans rise, the people fall.
But behind the mask, it’s all the same —
He steals and brands it with new name.

Airbus deals, Akonfem too,
Even his slogans — borrowed, not new.
Wives and words, all secondhand,
Mr. Slogan still runs the band.

God bless my president John Mahama. Akufo Addo or old criminal short and ugly dark like chimpanzee. Nasty Peoples Party will never rule Kwame Nkrumah Ghana again.

Either our president is double tongued or doesn't know what he doing. Since he became the president about 8 months ago, how many countries has he and his foreign minister approach to come and invest in Ghana? Why can't they wait for the investors to come to seek investment here themselves? Were the Chinese not destroying our forests and water bodies at the time he was talking at the UN? Who gave the Chinese visas to Ghana and for what? Our president can talk big but no actions.

Do they exploit our resources or we give it to them on silver platter? We as Africans must be proactive and negotiate for best deals. The moment we hear making millions in a year we rush to sign contracts without thinking about long term impact. We have been hearing this for a long time but no action. We have the power to stop that if we want to.

I think this one bold statement I have heard a Ghanaian president made in recent memory.
However, I there say, Mr. President, the resources of Africa, are offered to the whites at ridiculously low prices by Africans. "If a fool not went market, bad wears would not be sold".
Think of Ghana's share in the numerous oil deals, the killer Ewoya lithium deal, the devastating galamsey 'suicide' and 'genocide'.
We get treated how we offered to be treated.
The destiny of Africa, which is supposed to be in the hands of Africans, has been offered at no price to foreigners to decide.

They are exploiting us because we have weak political leaders across the continent. See what is happening in Ghana. Chinese are destroying our environment with no consequences. Can a group of Ghanaians travel to China to do mining illegally and destroy the environment under the watch of the Chinese political leadership? The answer I guess is a big No.

No one puts a gun to the heads of African politicians to give away their natural resources. The citizens of Africa are sick and tired of their political leaders sell off their natural resources on the cheap and then claiming to be being exploited by the West and other nations. African political leaders love to run their governments in secrecy, leaving the citizens in the dark. This practice encourages incompetence and lack of accountability.
