NPP cannot rule Ghana as they do not have what it takes to provide the country with the right leadership. Loot and share, their motto and global economic downturn, the NPP have not been able to offer any alternative path. What they are interested in is power, power and power.

May God punish this smelly writer for tagging civilized, peaceful and well educated citizens of this country who were voicing out their displeasure at the way our country is being mismanaged. Stupidity has had it way in Ghana for far too long, and papers like this one, THE AL-HAJJ, should take note, that they will have no place in Ghana when this RUBBISH NDC GOVERNMENT is gone. This is your time, and you can continue to write nonsense to provoke people, but it shall surely come to an end. STUPID, SMELLY PEOPLE.

Ghana is the only country that carries $3m by air to pay footballers.

The only cor try that pays millions to a Lebanese car dealer who refuses to pay taxes owed and dares the government
The only country that contractts people to uproot full grown Shea trees to plant new trees and left to die.
The only country whose revenue authorities allow an entertainment company to pay a foreign musician $1m without demanding taxes and yet chase small business operators to pay all kinds of taxes.
The only country that flies $80m worth of gold without proper records and after the gold is intercepted, we are told it was fake gold. Carrying so much fake gold through an airport?
The on,y country that pays contractors for no job done: SUBA, SADA, RLG, SIAW AGYEPONG ZOOMLION, yet having huge outstanding statutory payments.
The only country that owes teachers, nurses etc and wants to borrow money to buy pads for female school children. YOU ARE MISMANAGING THE COUNTRY JUST AS YOU HAVE MISMANAGED YOUR LIVES. STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH. I LIKE THE WAY YOU HAVE CATALOGUED WHO SAID WHAT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT. ALSO PUBLISH THE SILLY PAYMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO PEOPLE. LIST THE UNWARANTED PAYMENTS MADE THAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOW ASKING PEOPLE TO NEGOTIATE PAYMENT INSTEAD OF PUNISHING THEM FOR ROBBING THE STATE.

The supply of sanitary pads has become necessary because the virginals of Ashanti/Akan PP women are leaking and therefore the need for the pads to seal them for sanitary purposes.

Princess, the word ‘nigger’ as well as other previously known rude and unsavoury words/expressions such as ‘shit’, ‘fuck’ etc, have all now largely been neutralized and defused of their original nasty connotations, particularly by the youth of the world today.

This is evident, especially and paradoxically by Black youth worldwide who do so, principally and with surreptitious intent to mock the intent of the original hypocritical creators of the word. The creators, specifically the racist white people of Europe and America, who while they continue to privately and gleefully use the word ‘nigger’ to demean and belittle the humanity and dignity of Black people, they still publicly pretend that it is unethical and not nice.

As unfortunate as the devaluation of such racist epithets may seem today, they actually portend a seeming drift from the ‘beautiful decent’ old order to a dubious vulgar new one. Much as you and I may still consider these as creeping signs of moral, ethical and social degeneration, there is very little we can do about it other than to tolerate - at best, these regrettable trends. To stick your neck out in defiance of this patently indecent vogue is to call for and invite what you may not have bargained for upon your head. You will be tagged with the label ‘Old School’ and thereupon, your opinions will promptly cease to be valid, tenable or worth any consideration.

Today, globally recognizable and visible institutions, films, popular songs, companies, musical groups, films, books and political personalities all use the word nigger at will in their communication patents or brands. This is in spite of the fact that a white person can be officially charged on multiple counts of racist abuse for using the word ‘nigger’ against a Black man and hauled before court.

However niggers are free to use that word for or against themselves without much aggravation. In fact in the Black underworld of the US, it is deemed fashionable and trendy to be described as a cool nigger. As stated above, the public use of the word nigger against another nigger by a nigger is now generally seen as an act of total disregard, defiance or even a taunt against red-necks (white racists) and to racism. The implication is to send the insubordinate and hardened attitude to white racists that even their worse insults or gibes cannot touch Black people.

A corrupt and inept NDC will fall but an NDC led by upright and honest God fearing leaders will survive any onslaught. WILL NDC AND MAHAMA SURVIVE? As I have pointed out repeatedly in my recent posts on Ghanaweb forum NPP has itself become a spent force largely due to an incompetent leadership. NPP leadership wasted time and money persuing a pointless litigation. Nana Akuffo Addo is fighting tooth and nail to continue to captain an NPP ship that is clearly holed below the water line due to his own dereliction of duty. ALL OF THESE FACTORS PLUS A POORLY PERFORMING MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION MAKES GHANA EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO MALEVOLENT AND PREDATORY INTERFERENCE FROM FOREIGN POWERS. EVERY POLITICAL LEADER ASPIRING POLITICIAN,CIVIL SERVANT SHOULD TRY AND GET HOLD OF THE NOW OUT OF PRINT BOOK " INSIDE THE COMPANY: CIA DIARY BY PHILIP AGEE.This book is now a must read textbook in the Libraries of most of the world"s intelligence services. The author was banned from the United States and stripped of his US citizenship for most of his adult life. THE METHODS USED BY THE CIA TO ENSURE THAT FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS PURSUE POLICIES THAT ARE ARE IN THE INTERESTS OF THE USA ( AND USUALLY HARMFUL TO THE INTERESTS OF THE HOST NATION) HAVE REMAINED UNCHANGED.I FIRST READ THIS BOOK IN THE LATE 70s. THE STUFF IN THIS BOOK IS FAR MORE EXPLOSIVE THAN EVEN ANYTHING REVEALED BY WIKILEAKS OR BY JOHN SNOWDEN. IT SHOULD BE A REQUIRED READING FOR ANY SERVING PRESIDENT ,MINISTER OR PARLIAMENTARIAN IN GHANA.

The ramblings of Bature clearly shows that, the Gov't is beginning to fear it's own shadows, as a result of non-delivery and non-performance in the face of an awakening of the senses of the citizenry, to the issues that have served to bury the country in the doldrums.
There's nothing like an informed populace demanding accountability in a democracy and clearly, a non-performing gov't would be held hostage and claw at imaginary shadows, "springs", etc, etc when the citizenry hold their feet to the fire.
Governance is very, very serious business and the tenure of office demands that, Gov't starts delivering from day one, and rather, shun the looting from day one.
The masses are very much awake and the propaganda just would not cut it. They are demanding accountability. They are demanding performance. They are demanding positive delivery. They are demanding an improvement in their lives and not retrogression, and any Gov't that fails the governance test, would most definitely face the wrath of the masses, who have entrusted their mandate in this instance to the NDC gov't to address their issues, and not their personal aggrandizement. It happened to the NPP gov't before them and it happened to the NDC gov't prior to the NPP gov't.
The ball is in the court of the NDC gov't to deliver or move out. The people are realizing their true power to effect change, and any political grouping that thinks it can take the masses for granted, would most definitely suffer consequences for their non-performance.
Bature has rather disingenuously, planted an idea in the minds of the citizenry in seeking to engage in propaganda, although the socio-economic contract with the masses is for a 4year period, and the recklessness of such propaganda is most unfortunate.

I remember this same Bature saying that the Mahama led NDC gov't had not even been given the time to enjoy their "honeymoon" in gov't on supposedly winning the elections. Like governance is about "honeymooning"...lol. Now that the masses are asking for the results of your stewardship after paying you with their taxes to deliver, you are screaming bloody murder, whilst the meat has being chewed to the bones. We read somewhere that AFAG gave 3months to see results...hmmn.

It is a shame some Ghanaians who pride themselves as the paragon of all wisdom are not wise enough to know that an Arab Spring cannot happen in Ghana. The important condition that promotes an Arab Spring revolt is the denial of civil and political rights to citizens by governments. In Ghana, civil and political rights are in abundance to the extent that even on a national day as republic day, a group of people can demonstrate against the government. Whatever difficulties and challenges there are in a country are the reason there is need for governments and not the reason to oust them. If a popularly elected government cannot solve a problem, which government can solve it?
Interestingly, President Mahama has just gone through successfully a free and fair election and an 8-month long petition (by the demonstrators) at the Supreme Court challenging his electoral victory. Nobody thus deserves the mandate to rule Ghana more than him. It is very clear those who set the target to occupy the flagstaff house in their demonstration, were pursuing an evil agenda to oust the Mahama regime. How naive they are!!! They must be pitied for not knowing that such a thing cannot happen in a free democratic country as Ghana.

Is demonstrating an illegal thing in Ghana now? Even Atta Aponkye Mills had the audacity to demonstrate on the street of Accra,and warned of Ghana becoming like Kenya if he did not win the 2012 election. NDC wise

NO LAWS ARE ENFORCED;NO ONE IS INDICTED OF ANY CRIMES COMMITTED; INCOMPETENCE AND CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE IS REWARDED WITH SHUFFLE SIDEWAYS, NOT WITH PUNISHMENT SANCTIONS OR SACKING. THE PRESIDENT IS WEAK AND THE KING IS DEAD. MINISTERS AND HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS DO WHAT THEY LIKE WITH IMPUDENCE KNOWING MAHAMA WILL DO NOTHING BUT PROMOTE THEM WHEN FOUND OUT.

NO SERIOUS ATTEMPT IS BEING MADE TO TAKE OUR MONIES BACK FROM WOYOME, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, GYEEDA, SUBAH, AKONFEM, ETC. EVEN AFTER AMIDU HAS GONE TO COURT AND WON THE CASE FOR GHANA. THE CORRUPT JUDGES IN OUR COURTS REFUSE TO ENFORCE THE LAW WITH SILLY REASONS FOR ADJOURNMENTS.

FOR THE MEAN TIME THE JUDGEMENT DEBT COMMISIONER HAS NO TEETH TO BITE; IT IS ALL HOGWASH AND A WASTE OF TIME; REVEALATION AFTER REVELATION DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY INDICTMENT. IT IS ALL A WASTE OF TIME AND TAX PAYERS' MONEY

WHAT WE NEED IS A MILITARY COUP TO KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO THESE CRAZY POLITICIANS WHO ARE JUST TAKING THE PISS OUT OF GHANA

Thanks for your analysis, and personally do not support usurping elected governments by wicked and aimless people. Howvever, I do not agree with you where you cited men of God who objectively made analysis of promises made by presidential aspirants or Presidents to keep their word!What is Arab Spring about that! All aspiring leaders who make promises must be held to their WORDS and need to be criticised objectively for them to stay focused, not to be boot licked to make them make needless mistakes or lead us into problems

Tell the Ghanaian the truth and you become their enemy. When will we take our heads out of the sand and begin to see things as they are and in so doing start to tell the truth as it is, even if it hurts our brothers and friends?
"Occupy" is a peaceful way of sending out a peoples frustrating message, but this idiots will spin it to mean what they want it to mean. There was Occupy Wall Street, Occupy the White House, Occupy In San Francisco and other places but it was never interpreted to mean anything more than what it was. Idiots, you can fool some people sometime but you can't fool all the people all the time.

The whole reason for that amateur demonstration lies in the third paragraph of the above article. Many people, including this writer, have earlier suspected that NPP's main objective to win power was to lay their hands on the recent wealth of the country (the oil money)to fund their indebtedness and life-styles. And they are using forces like the media, disgruntled civil societies, elements within the TUC and agents like Kweku Baako - spokesman and arch defender of the NPP and its looting cadre - armed with stolen documents and forgeries to work toward achieving their objective. Unfortunately, unassuming Ghanaians have fallen to the prey.

President Mahama must use this situation as a source of motivation in dealing with some genuine concerns of the population, use the security agencies to tackle some obvious or hidden rots in his system that are undermining the nations economy or his efforts. OTHERWISE, let those who want to draw the country back try, we WILL return home and ALSO ensure they FAIL . Peace and stability in ghana must be sustained at all cost.
