They have money to pay politicians but not teachers. When a fraction of that ex gratia could have paid all the teachers, they decided to ignore them completely because "four legs good, two legs bad". No wonder semi literate and illiterate MPs and ministers are so arrogant. They even say no one can be compared to them. They all have the same agenda to milk the system. Greedy bastards!

its unlikely there will be a runoff rather the issue will be settled either by upholding the decision of the ec or will go straight out and award the presidency to npp. either way there can be no peace and we should expect war since it has less to do with rigging of elections rather hegemony chauvinism , authoritarian govt , ethnocentrism and tribalism camouflaged by ideology and corruption. its a do or die situation and anyone who is naive enough to think there will be no showdown after the ruling is a fool . the president is also supposed to be the commander in chief which means if he doesnt have the guts and brains to plan and execute a war effort he should not be running for president . anyone can steal power but how many can truely lead into prosperity ? jj the son of an uncircumcised rouge after over 20 years did nothing but put the economy back into the middle ages and thats a fact despite his so called eloquence in bullshiting us with ideologies he himself understood not.this ndc corrupt incompetent govt is just occupying space and wasting our time , its time to think war as they will not go away without the use of force . long live the republic of Akan

SHOULD EVERYBODY WHO THREATEN TO STRIKE BE GIVEN WHAT THEY REQUEST? YOU THINK ALL PARENTS CAN FEED THEIR KIDS? DO YOU THINK PARENTS SHOULD KOWTOW (BEND DOWN) TO ALL THE REQUESTS BY THEIR CHILDREN? DO YOU THINK BECAUSE NDC IS IN POWER, PEOPLE SHOULD DEMAND WHATEVER THEY WANT? WILL NPP BE ABLE TO PAY AND PUSH THIS FREE EDUCATION, HOSTELS FOR KAYA YE, MOVING SODOM AND GOMORA TO AMASAMAN AREA AND ALL THAT? WHY DONT YOU ASK SOEONE TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON TO U?

The sovereignty of our nation has been thrown into gutter by NDC bunch of criminals and their monkeys supporters.

NDC distributed money to Chiefs, NDC
monkey supporters, their girl friends
distributing Lap Tops, distributing cars for University girls meanwhile corrupt Mahama claim there are no money to pay Teachers, Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses and Midwives, Ghana has been resulted to
DUMSO-DUMSO attitude, no drinking
water in our country and petrol prices has to be increased when OPEC
has not increased prices of crude oil, fellow Ghanaian People, if I hear someone claim he or she supports NDC the so-called political party I view such person as a total enemy to our national security and progress which he or she needs to be eradicated completely from our national society to pave a
way for our country to progress.

Two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school were both virgins; they enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast. They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend anytime they could together.

As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return the letters. Even when he emailed her, she took days to return his messages.

Finally, she confessed to him she wanted to date around. He didn't take this very well and increased his calls, letters, and emails trying to win back her love. Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back.

So, what she did is this: she took a Polaroid picture of her having sex with her new boyfriend's and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, "I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone." Well, needless to say, this guy was heartbroken but, even more so, was pissed. So, what he did next was awesome.

He wrote on the back of the photo the following, "Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!" and mailed the picture to her parents.

Prince, teachers have been taken for a ride far too long. They have now really seen the light. They want their rewards now here on earth. Mahama's government has not been that truthful with these professions. They are not kids. All those useless MPs who doubled their salaries were taught by teachers. Mahama, you better take the teachers serious or they will do to you what they did to Kutu. Your kingdom shall be brought down.

You get more RESPECT, more dough, and of course a nice retirement package as a teacher in the US. Why leave all that and come to your homeland where you are not even respected by your gov't.

Oh you don't know? Let teachers go on strike and there is no control in the boarding houses. Parents have no where to take their kids before they go to work etc. Then you will know the importance of teachers strike. Wait till teachers strike leave your daughter wondering aimlessly when you are at work. When your 11 year old girl comes home with a pregnancy, you will respect teachers' contribution.

Even though we have an Embassy in Rome, we are going to open another Embassy at the Vatican, Rome. We know
it is a duplication but we need to create jobs for our friends in the NDC, therefore we have gone ahead to implement that stupid decision.

Very soon some of you will be marked in the classroom and those under performing will get the sack if you don't know yet.

Do not blame a particular government when it comes to strikes. Learn to be unbiased/impartial in your judgement. Teachers have been going on strikes from time immemorial till now: CPP, UP, SMC, PNDC, NDC, NPP, etc.
