There is no smoke without fire , many times our chiefs for 30 pieces of silver have betrayed the interests of the people . they not only take money but also actively promote the most toxic of ideas against the welfare of the people . We have had an ayigbe/pepeni revolution and now the wind changes and the Akan revolution will come to be whether through the ballot box or by war it will come to pass . let these pepeni and ayigbe feel what its like to see their women stripped naked and whipped in the streets by our frisky boys , let them see what its like for both the innocent and guilty without discrimination be accused corruption and thrown in jail , let them see what its like to have their eminent men manhandled and tortured so that a few years later they all die of stroke , heart attaches and stress, let them see what is like to watch their sons and daughters have to travel the 7 seas just to find a better future as at home pepeni and ayigbe revolutionaries will steal their businesses or deny them the chance . yes we now not only polarize but radicalize since liberals like mills are killed and nana rejected ,it is time for fearless righteous Akans like ken agyapong , ursula and sir john to be flag bearers . ndc you just continue your corrupt ways but soon we will have you , your wives , children , girlfriends pay the a very dear price for your greed . keep on bribing these chiefs we have the family heads and clans on our side , long live the republic of Akan

Fellow Patriots just suck it up and reap the whirlwind; you voted for what you got - an Ntafour administration which can never bring progress to our nation. If the Peppefours can develop Ghana, just look at their deplorable backyards - what makes you belive they can develop our beloved country? Just suck it up until this regime fades into history - it too shall pass!!

There they go again..more propaganda, no action. Fortunately for them, there will be no way to measure the so-called created jobs at the end of 2016. Sad.

NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. WE PREFER NANA ADDO TO ANY NDC SMALL BOY THIEF COMING TO POLITICS WITHOUT, EVEN, A BICYCLE OR ONE DECENT SUIT.------- BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT THROW PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO.

This is something that I find it difficult to understand NDC whether they really up to the task of governing. Government do not create jobs. What governments do is to put structures in place to make it easy for the private sector to spur the economy by creating jobs. The private sector is the engine of every economy. NDC, do you understand that?

Governments do not create jobs because they themselves are not efficient. Look at the civil service and you will agree with me. How is their performance?

Governments create enabling conditions for the private sector to create jobs. So John Mahama and his government, create the enabling conditions and the private sector will deliver the jobs.

They always talk shit. Ever since Atta Mills took over from president Kuffour, how many jobs have NDC created? None! Zipo! Nada! All they do is chop-chop the taxpayer's money. Worse of all is jon Mahama, the biggest thief in Ghana's history. If for the past six years, you have not created even a single job, how can you create 500 in the next two years? Fools stop the nonsense. Your only message is idebii keke. How stupid?

It is up to Ghanaians to decide whether they will accept such useless agenda. How can you create half a million jobs in the next three years? This means the Mahama administration has failed.What is wrong with our leaders? Do they have vision at all? Our leaders are not competent at all and it is time Ghanaians have to vote for a third party because both NDC and NPP have failed the people.

Waste of time and tax payers hard earned money. Some of you just don't get it, it is one thing winning elections and another governing. NDC is a failure when it comes to governing no matter how much we wish they will succeed. They did not offer a single policy when campaigning apart from empty promises which the vice president now wants to renogotiate and dialogue yet they won the election. What does that say about us Ghanaians? We are not underdeveloped by chance.

Was Okudzeto Ablakwa's 2 million jobs statement right in the first place for you to also come and spew this fallacious comment? These are the issues which riles Ghanaians, the NDC's strong penchant for thinking that, Ghanaians have dirty gas oil in the brains. Your manifesto document is begging for action and the 2 international airports of the stature of Heathrow, JFK, are due and Ghanaians need to see it's commissioning, the ten teacher training colleges, etc,etc, are all due, and you should get it done asap, because, Ghanaians are not going to tolerate your nonsense again.

South African National Planning Commission Minister, Dr. Trevor Manuel, has said that job creation is critical to the sustenance of peace and development, and must not be used as a tool for political gimmicks.

Mr. Manuel said the challenge of youth unemployment is one that has the potential to disrupt economic progress and the peaceful atmosphere when not checked.

“If we fail to act collectively the odds are that we will have millions of frustrated youth running riot, infecting the politics and the economics of development.

“The share of working-age people in paid employment across the continent is incredibly low.

“The idea of jobs cannot be a hollow promise made to desperate people. Tough as the responsibility of employment creation in our economies is, we cannot avoid it -- and we must increasingly talk about the challenge in polite company,” he said.

Dr. Manuel, whose home-country has in the recent past experienced social and economic effects of youth agitation due to idle hands, noted this at the 3rd Global Development Series in Accra last Thursday.

He said the private sector is best-placed to absorb most of the unemployed, and must be supported to do as much.

“For household incomes to rise, more people have to work. A relatively small number of people are likely to get jobs in the public service or in big corporations, so we must innovate through sustainable livelihoods and beyond,” he added.

Dr. Manuel’s insights are shared by many policymakers and businessmen who have expressed uneasiness about the growing unemployment rate in the country.

Unemployment, according to the ILO, is among the biggest threats to social stability in many countries -- including Ghana, where the economy has been expanding very fast but creating very few jobs.

Recently, the Chief Executive of rlg Communications, Roland Agambire, noted that the issue of youth unemployment in most African countries is so complex, sensitive and yet thorny that it requires a concerted, multifaceted and deep-rooted approach toward its resolution.

He said while the reduction or elimination of the phenomenon will require a non-partisan collaboration between governments, the private sector and the youth themselves, a firm demonstration of commitment by the international community will also ensure threats to peaceful socio-political atmosphere in many African countries, especially the emerging economies, are not guaranteed.
