Has there been a time in this republic less than 25 percent of Ghanaians have not been living below poverty? Let the walking, talking human parrots incapable of thinking except use their masters writing say it Ghana under some cockamamie leader was better even when we continue to use on our beaches and nearby bushes as toilet facilities in every small town Ghana and even in our metro areas. Should in case you need help, at no time since 1966, has Ghana lived without borrowing from other nations and or from world financial institutions. The definition of a poor person is more so applicable to anyone who has to borrow money to eat and or live. And from what we know Ghana has been borrowing money from rich nations and financial institutions since 1966.

To talk as if you are not aware is either sheer ignorance or abject stupidity to blame one party and not the collective us as Ghanaians for allowing this nonsense to go on since 1966.

WE KNOW ONLY TWO NAMES, NANA ADDO & BAWUMIA. NANA'S LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. 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 NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. 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. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!

Where the hell did someone bring this empty-headed woman from. She has still not responded to the doctored numbers about inflation. 11.9 out of 12 Ghanaians are "very, very poor"

Thats why the society don't like women at top positions.Most often when they are given higher positions they mess up.Probably the saying that Mathematics is not good for Ghanaian girls is true.

Women are better leaders, more industrious more humane than men. Women do overload of the the welfare of every family in Ghana and need to be appreciated. Women are smarter and if given the right support will out perform men in any intellectual work. women can study and do well in any subject. Ghana society has to give them the support.

This is what I have for the whole world to Judge. This nice buildings have been abounding by the D.E.C.E of Atwima District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana and People in turn around the talk against the President. What do we go to school to study? The D.E.C.E abounded this building and went ahead to rent a house that cost GH8000.00. Whom are we to blame? The President? The people of Atwima District? The D.E.C.E?

"According to the report, extreme poverty has fallen from 18 percent to 8.4 percent between 2005 and 2006."

Where extreme poverty is operationally defined as people who defecate along the coast, drink untreated water for lunch, and take kokonte for dinner!!!

Ghana is a mess.

Another bunch of "cooked" statistics?
We are still waiting for the reactions of Dr. Wampah and the GSS boss to Dr. Bawumiah's suspicions about the credibility of the USD/GHC exchange and inflation rates.
