    May his soul really rest in perfect peace. There are not too many of such people around any more in Ghana - but I am around; the President can count on me to serve mother Ghana - not any partisan politician.

    no he was a traitor and so corrupt that even the foreign intelligence agencies advised companies wanting to do business here to avoid him at all costs

  • oba nyansani baako Pe in Ghana 9 years ago

    I am telling Mahama to look at this life is too short. So, why are you grabbing money all the time? Mahama repent now else you may not know what will happen to you tomorrow. A word to the wise is enough.
