You see, my brother, this man is only trying to create awareness for a dead and rotten brand called Wireko Brobbey.

Nowadays he is everywhere on TV trying to sell himself. He is always attacking Nana Addo and his group in a bid to make them unpopular so he can launch a comeback into the NPP. Now, because he is a poor strategist, he has started attacking the President as well. Maybe he should have finished with Nana Addo before moving on to the President. He has evil intentions and he will not succeed. This is the end of my gospel.

The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

Is that enough to say so bad things on EWE? Do you really know EWE? Is it what your parents told you about EWE?If that is it, then they did not help you at all. Learn more about them and don't draw conclusion on ethnics because your first enemies are people from your own house, family, village, tribe, region. Believe me my brother. Good luck to you in life.

One day three midgets were sitting around the table drinking
tea and having crumpets.

The first midget says to the other two, "You know, I think
I have the smallest hands in the world." He continues, "and
... I think I should go down the Guiness Book or World Records
and try to get in the book!"

The second midget replies with, "You know, now that you
mention it, I probably have the smallest feet in the world.
I think I'll go with you and try to get into the record book,
too!"

The third midget joins in with, "I'm going too because I
think I have the smallest penis in the world. Let's go!"

So the midgets set off to the offices of the Guiness Book of
World Records.

When they arrive, the first midget is called in and is gone
for awile. Finally he comes out very excited. "I made it!
They measured my hands, and sure enough they are the smallest
in the world. I'm in the record book!!"

The second midget is called in, and soon he comes out very
excited. "I made it too! They measured my feet and sure
enough, they are the smallest in the world. I'm in the
record book, too!!"

The third midget goes in, is gone a very long time, so long
that his friends became concerned. Finally he appears with a
rather forlorn look on his face.

"What's the matter?", his friends asked.

The third midget responds with "Who the hell is NaNa Akufo?!?!!"

its amazing the way the alliance of evil consisting of the ewes northerners and occasional gas try to play around with the figures be it rigging of elections be it reducing the numbers of Akans in Ghana . they say the Akans are now 45 % and have presented through their ewe dominated institutions and civil service to all international institutions yet this percentage doesnt reflect in their ministerial appointments and in the composition of the civil service today. so coining a phrase from their own propaganda machinery we shall begin to set the records straight in this ridiculous absurdity. the ashantis make up over 5 million the same with the fanti speaking peoples of the western and central regions , i will not even bother to calculate the greater accra, brong ahafo and eastern regions as the result is glaringly obvious . when we point out these injustices their agent provocateurs and serial callers call us nation wreckers ashantis and all sorts of names emphasizing their threats based on hatred. we still continue to ask the questions that cause them anxiety and fear as they are aware the persecution and undermining of the Akans can not go on forever. if they dont accept us then its better we go our separate ways , long live the republic of Akan

"....the Propaganda Secretary of the NDC in the Brong Ahafo region, Collins Mahama believes President John Mahama is capable of managing the affairs of the country".
Why should we still be talking about "capability" when all indications are that the man has been at the helm of affairs for 9 months and nothing seems to be happening on the ground as the man is seriously under-performing and people are dying as a result of his incompetence?
Do you know the number of people especially children and vulnerable people who are dying from electricity supply failure, water shortage and the medical doctors strikes and more problems that the so-called president only oozes out rubbish promises?
It is very sad and pathetic that myopic voters voted this idiotic, egomaniac, tribalistic imbecile as president.

This impostor is another Ashanti monkey-meat eater who is a notorious drug baron in Nana Addo's stable.

I think we need to sympathize with Mahama. First a cursory look at his resume indicates he has not prepared himself for the presidency prior to entering politics;He thought the presidency has is easy as sucking young girls' breasts and fondling their thighs, Secondary, it looks like the controversial manner in which he ascended the presidency has unleashed curses upon him and Ghana in the form of unending intricate web of strikes in the midst of water and power problems. Furthermore, his official wife and unofficial wives keep nagging him about his 17 children. Mahama has no peace at home and in the office. I do not want say anything about the ongoing supreme court case. I can imagine the number of calabashes of kola this "young man" has been chewing to help him manage his anxieties, depression and frustrations.Mahama is going through a lot and Ghanaians must sympathize with him.
He is so scared of resigning because if he attempts to do so, Akuffo Addo will jail him for causing financial loss to the state and Rawlings will send him to the Teshie range for moral and material corruption. It looks like he feels he has been strapped to an execution table and it is only a matter of days that he will be executed by lethal injection. I pity Mahama

It is our labour laws that need revamping. Most workers in the UK have not had a pay rise in 2 years but the law does not allow you to go on indefinite strike. And Doctors do not have state bungalows, cars and allowances for maids and servants.

Ghana unfortunately under Mahama led guinea fowls government is like a sinking ship full of rats, cats and stinky dogs.

Everything is in limbo with highly unbearable social economic hardships ever experienced after the country's independence. Ghana is like a war torn nation where nothing works and all things dead.

The only thing that is made successful under this man we unfortunate have as "President" is the unannounced declaration of crime as an official recognized institution in our once noble Ghanaian society. Period!

Let's safe Ghana before she is wrecked beyond recovery from these unscrupulous "woyomenized" Mahama led criminals.

Yet some unknown minnow of an official of a political party makes a controversial statement and you attribute it to ""Tarzan" in a prominent headline. Deceiving people to go to the page and then turn away in disgust is how you do business? You are ethically challenged,

I think the only mistake, if it is a mistake at all, is implementing the single spine salary, which has led to an appreciable increase in the salaries of all government workers. Instead of having patience and allowing the government time to resolve issues, we are using the opportunity to do partisan politics and engineering strikes to make the government unpopular. Maybe we should have been left to take the peanuts we were taking previously taking as salary. Ungrateful Ingrates

Link to video: The price of gold: Chinese mining in Ghana
Huang Ren Zhong's striped parasol stands out against the muddy cliff of excavated earth. The horizon is fringed with the tall trees of the Ghanaian rainforest, but for Huang, this dilapidated shelter is his only shade from the sweltering tropical sun. He and his Chinese colleagues take turns to sit under it, overseeing the digging and churning of the murky water beneath them, where they are mining a huge pit for gold.

Two years ago, Huang, 40, left his tea farm in China's Guangdong province to seek riches here in west Africa. Since then his work has been hot and arduous, and at times dangerous but, by his standards, the rewards are great. Huang says he makes about 4,000 yuan – £420 – a month. His salary is paid straight to his family in China, after the money he needs to live has been deducted.

"The work is difficult. [But] I came here to make money," said Huang. "In China, I was average or poor. To have the opportunity to travel abroad [and] make more money is fantastic."

Huang works in one of many illegal small-scale goldmines in Ghana, Africa's second largest gold producer. Ghana's minerals commission, which provides permits for small mines, has not authorised the site. Foreigners are banned from working in Ghana's small-scale mining industry, which was formalised in the 1980s to bring much-needed income to poor, rural communities.

Figures for the scale of illegal mining are non-existent because the Ghanaian authorities struggle to address the problem. But 23% of Ghana's gold production is from small-scale mining. Some estimates calculate that 95% of all small-scale mining in Ghana is illegal.

The authorities admit that the influx of Chinese miners and their wealthy backers is causing environmental destruction and social conflict on an unprecedented scale. The Chinese have invested millions of dollars in excavators and industrial equipment.

"The scale [of illegal mining in Ghana] is so vast it is difficult to actually quantify," said Brigadier General Daniel Mishio, chairman of Ghana's national security commission for lands and natural resources. "Apart from the security threat that is posed by the weapons that [illegal miners] wield, we even also have issues of human security," he said. "In certain areas, people don't even get clean drinking water, and in some areas you can see that most of the forest cover has been destroyed. This poses a very big danger to our future."

The work is also risky: last week 17 people were killed at a mine in Kyekyiwere in central Ghana. Mishio leads a taskforce conducting raids on illegal mines. Last month 120 Chinese miners were arrested .

Tensions in Ghana towards immigrants from China – Ghana's biggest trading partner – have led the president to reassure Chinese investors that the west African country remains keen to encourage economic co-operation. Both Beijing and Accra insist that there is no connection between the countries' bilateral agreements, including a recent $3bn China Development Bank loan to Ghana, and the activities of illegal Chinese immigrants. But many blame Accra for failing to prevent the destruction of large swaths of land for illegal mining.

"In Ghana and elsewhere in Africa, small-scale mining is a strategic livelihood alternative for rural communities, and it contributes tremendously to the local economy," said Wilbert Brentum, from Solidaridad, which works to improve safety standards and ethical practices in goldmining. "But we have a situation in Ghana now where there is more illegal small-scale mining than there is legal. This has magnified the environmental degradation and polluted so many of our water bodies. Because it has attracted more people into the small-scale mining sector, without protective equipment, fatalities are also on the increase."

Research by one Ghanaian NGO found that 250 rivers in mining communities had been polluted by cyanide and heavy metals. This month the government expressed its concern about the rate at which water bodies were being contaminated.

"[This illegal mining] doesn't help us at all," said Kweku Gyaminah, 29, a witchdoctor in Manso Abodom, who makes over £1,000 a week from trading gold mined by villagers – many of them children – on the fringes of the illegal Chinese-run mine where Huang works. "Now all our drinking water is all polluted, the farms [are] all gone and we haven't had any benefit from that."

Resentment towards foreigners is widespread. There are frequent attacks by Ghanaians against increasingly heavily armed Chinese miners. The Chinese are also accused of assaulting Ghanaians, whom they employ to operate their machinery. On the site where Huang and his colleagues work, the ground is littered with spent shotgun cartridges. "We have the guns to defend ourselves from the locals," said Huang.

Many of the Chinese guns are said to come from the police, a practice which one senior officer said was indicative of the widespread corruption fuelled by the influx of foreigners propped up by cash from illegally mining gold.

"The Chinese are armed [and] most of the time the guns are sold by policemen," said a senior police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity. There have been several high-profile cases of police corruption in relation to Chinese illegal mining recently. In early April five policemen were arrested for robbing a Chinese miner at gunpoint, after the incident was captured on CCTV.

"It is standard practice for small-scale miners who work illegally with foreigners to pay off the police," one Ghanaian mine owner said. "We have a budget for the police and for the immigration authorities, and every month we pay them to leave us alone."

"Mining has corrupted the people," said the senior officer. "Certain policemen take advantage and profit from these activities. Some prominent men in Ghana, too, are benefiting [and] some traditional rulers."

There have been calls for the whole gold industry to be cleaned up. The government's precious minerals and marketing commission (PMMC), which buys gold produced in Ghana, told the Guardian it did not buy illegally mined gold.

"The PMMC only buys gold from small-scale miners who are Ghanaian nationals, which is in accordance with the mandate setting up the company," it said.

But the Guardian filmed dozens of Chinese miners entering a PMMC-licensed agent in Dunkwa, a gold-producing centre in Ghana's central region, each leaving with plastic bags full of what looked like cash. Inside the shop, called "IndoGhana Gold Agents", the Chinese handed over pieces of gold, which were weighed by staff and placed in a safe.

The manager, Govinda Gupta, said he was unaware it was illegal for his company to buy gold from the Chinese, and that the company buys at least 5kg of gold every week, which it exports to India via Dubai.

"There should be more traceability in gold," said Brentum, who is part of a worldwide initiative to produce gold certified "Fairtrade" and "Fairmined" , and which aims to make 5% of all gold responsibly mined by 2025.

While trade in precious minerals such as diamonds has undergone reforms in recent years to make their origins more transparent, the gold industry remains highly opaque. During refining, gold from different sources is mixed together so that it is impossible to trace.

"There is a growing market for ethical gold, and we foresee a time when all gold will have to be responsibly mined, which would ensure protection for the environment and people who work in mines," said Brentum.

"But if you look at the large-scale industrial mines, they are well aware of their environmental and health and safety obligations, and will have no problem catering to this market. Our concern is that the small-scale and artisanal miners will be left behind.

"Illegal mining is a blot on the image of all small-scale mining. It is the people working in rural communities in Ghana – the very people who were supposed to benefit from the legalisation of small-scale mining – who will suffer the most."

Gold in Ghana

Once named the Gold Coast, Ghana is famous for its gold production, which has been carried out by local people using artisanal techniques since at least the 15th century.

Small-scale mining was legalised in 1989 under the military regime of Jerry John Rawlings to "indigenise" the industry for the benefit of Ghanaians. The law forbids non-citizens from engaging in small-scale mining.

Ghana is the 10th largest gold producer in the world and the second largest in Africa, after South Africa. It produced 4.2m ounces last year, worth $1,668 per ounce.

23% of Ghana's gold exports come from small-scale mining. As many as 95% of small-scale mines in Ghana are believed to be illegal, many operated by Chinese nationals.
