Initially I thought this boy called Mahama was clueless and stupid, but, I now realize that he's gone mad as well. He DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE WHAT SO EVER AND CAN SOMEONE ASK HIM TO SHUT HIS STINKING MOUTH.

if properly investigated we all know it should end with the impeachment and jailing of mahama . many are blinded and prejudiced by the love of their party or tribalism and do not want to see the truth. this is the saddest event in our history after the murder of Mills . our society and so called leaders are lazy and procrastinating not to mention lacking in courage and integrity so allow this tribal ethnocentric feudal society as opposed to an industrial entrepreneurial mentality and true nationalism with patriotism to flourish. history has proven that all feudal societies be it monarchy's , dictatorships or quasi democracies end up in blood shed whether through revolutions or war in favor of a republican structured system of governance . Bin laden realized the whole Arab world couldn't even produce a car tire and in his limited feudal mind blamed the innocent being the west for state as is the mentality of those trapped in this vicious circle. the northerners and ewes have been right under our noses setting up this catastrophe in the hope of being the ones to exploit and plunder the wealth of the Akans with the help of satellite smaller or marginal groups such as the Gas , krobos and even some of the twi speakers . despite all the money these feudal societies may have such as saudi arabia they can never evolve into the 21st century and develop. yes we have people with doctorate degrees in political science , history or sociology example tony aidoo who is only concerned about how much money he can get but can not point out these grave dangers to his bosses. the greed , selfishness , corruption and backwardness are all fruits of this ethnocentrism and tribalism and ensure we never develop but keep them in power . Gaddafi , Saddam died because they refused to realize that the welbeing and prosperity of the people is a God given right and duty of every govt to secure for their people . they call us separatists and try and make their madness the norm but we know it will be over soon . vikileaks has shown what is the fate of Akans who foolishly think they belong , if she had been an ewe or northerner the crisis control strategy would have said it was a fake tape but instead she was thrown out in the cold to the wolves . a word top the wise , do not trust them or take them into your confidence , long live the republic of Akan

SO noe you want to send your corruption to the churches too? Many of the pastors are corrupt, but Mahama wants to teach the rest how to be exceptionally corrupt.

He said Africa has all the natural resources anyone could think of however, the citizens wallow in abject poverty because the leaders that are supposed to effectively utilise them for their
welfare are selfish and greedy....The Omanhen of Essikadu, Nana Kobina Nketsiah V says one major challenge dragging the development efforts of Africa is lack of leadership.
ALL THESE CORRUPT, USELESS SO CALLED LEADERS MUST BE SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE. BURN THEM ALL ALIVE OOOOOOOO TOM!

Good expressing, you did well by blending the world political history with contemporary Ghanaian democracy. Nevertheless the fusion of tribalism with case like this doesn't sound well. You may have a point but this makes your point stupid and meaningless. This sounds purely tribalistic but i tell you akans are not of any special value than the rest of the tribes in Ghana. So reason up next time. But until now i never, never, never thought an educated African will have such thoughts in his head. I know for sure that the politicians are rather exploiting us, whether NDC or NPP the value is the same. I would have wish i know you personally and i would have told you something.

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

Christians must stop the Plant breeders' Bill first!

Our Parliament is currently considering a law that will surrender our sovereignty over our environment and public health to giant foreign corporations of doubtful intentions and abilities, all in the name of promoting plant breeders' rights!

A Clause in the Plant Breeders' Bill worth noting reads:

"23 Measures regulating commerce

A plant breeder right shall be independent of any measure taken by the Republic to regulate within Ghana the production, certification and marketing of material of a variety or the importation or exportation of the material.” (Google: Plant Breeders' Bill, 2013, Ghana).

The best thing that can come out of such a silly law is huge judgement debts, environmental degradation, and a threat to all living things in Ghana, including Ghanaians!

We need to stop this law!

Forward Ever!

Pur'gu Saarpe! Esq.,
Secretary to The Odikro.

You are right, Christians do not practice what they preach because they not perfect. In fact, that is why they are Christians. If they could practice all Christianity teaches, they would be perfect and wouldn't need Christ.

Is it the kind of partnership where the church leaders cannot criticize government? The church has been partnering the state even before Mahama was born. Who first established schools and clinics in the remote places? It is the church. By the way, let your children with sharp teeth know that you want state-church partnership.

When I read comments here, I sometimes feel that we are at our present level of development not because of politics but the people who called themselves Ghanaians. I have heard and seen Kufour insulted from all angles, I have seen Mills abused by all manner of people and now it is Mahama's term.So who then do we want as our president? Jesus Christ? I think we should learn to respect leadership no matter what. I sometimes asked myself,we those who are not in leadership positions, are we thinking of doing anything else to help the government. We may say things are so hard that nothing is possible, but let's remember that most of the developed world came out of serious calamities to be where they are now. They have a story to tell. What are we doing fellow country men for mother Ghana? That is the question I ask.

Sad reality of Ghana : Church & Mosque
leaders have teamed up with you to loot Ghana dry.

Do not behave like you do not know why the country is going down.

IF YOU CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH MAKES IT VERY VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO FEED THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, THEY WILL DEVISE WAYS AND MEANS TO SUPPORT THEIR LIFE.

PERHAPS, YOU WILL SEE THIS AS WARNING TO YOUR SEAT AND TURN AROUND. YOU ARE HEADING THE COUNTRY INTO A DEEP DITCH.

THE NEXT BOLD THIEVES WILL RISE UP IN LARGE NUMBERS AND COME PUSH YOU OFF THE PRESIDENCY, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

ACKNOWLEDGE. IF KESHIE, AFCON 13 WINNER CAN BOMB AT THE CONFED CUP TOURNEY. HOW MUCH MORE AA WHO PLACED 4TH AND HASNT EVEN MANAGED TO WIN MORE THAN 1 AWAY GAME AS COACH OF THE GSBTARS?
AA NEEDS BIG HELP. GET HIM A COACH WHO IS MORE ACCOMPLISHED THAN HIM. TO MAKE AA LOOK GOOD IN BRASIL.
