    I hate this Rawlings with a passion. But, I feel like he's in my mind. He is absolutely correct. Corruption in Africa is the continent's cancer.

    This man is suffering from 'political menopause'. He is the worst political leader of Africa, dead or alive. Even Atta Mills was better. After almost 20 years of rule he sent Ghana to HIPIC. He should shut up!

    The word 'menopause' has become a jargon in GHANAian English. Akonoba, GHANA was economically in shambles when RAWLINGS to over. Do you even know how difficult it to win international confidence when your economy is collapsed ...
