  For Mahama to say a thing like what the title of this article indicates, is even more frightening than the suicidal bid to collaborate with these killer institutions such as the IMF.
  
  This clearly indicates that Mahama hasnt got a damned clue as to what time of the day it is.
  
  After over 60 years of fruitlessly hanging around (they laughably call it Partnership) with 'bad guys' like the IMF, what more pain and disappointments does a nigger need to see to satisfy himself that the IMF is bad news and definitely the problem? Damn! We love the slavery and the colonization dont we? It seems we have become addicted to it.
  
  If the IMF were to be an African organization, Western countries and their puppet media would typically be lambasting and making endless snide, patronizing and demeaning jokes about it to prove that Africans are naturally incompetent and not capable of managing their own affairs. In fact they would have strongly recommended that the IMF should be scrapped for consistent failure otherwise, they would impose one of their economic blackmail sanctions on us.
  
  So I ask myself, what is the use of all the education we pride ourselves with, if our dandy professors and Drs and Executive MBAs and all those apparently toy qualifications in fanciful economic theories, cannot figure out what is good for our development but have to rely on little white boys and girls who have never stepped outside Europe or America, to lecture them about what is good for Africa or Ghana?
  
  It is times like this that we really feel the loss of Kwame Nkrumah.

  The (PNDC) must simply be wiped out from the political map of Ghana. Revolutionaries don't run economies. Socialism is a thing of the past. Unfortunately, the NDC is combining all these colonial rhetoric with corruption, and more corruption. Ghana can not afford to put up with this poisonous concoction any longer. By the way the government of Ghana has no leverage as to what they "negotiate" with the IMF. In 1983 and '84. They were having annual budgets written for them by the IMF. Illiterate Jerry Rawlings admitted he did not even understand the arcane language therein. And yet he was making policies (sorry, orders) based on them. Kwesi Botchwey took credit for those budgets.

  At least we can commend and respect Rawlings for humbly admitting that he did not understand all these economic theories. But here we are with you, a person who appears to be twice as illiterate as Rawlings who dangerously assumes to know what the subject is about but yet you seem to equate socialism with the IMF!!!! Are you mad????? Or is it terminal illiteracy???
  
  What these imperialist institutions, which now act as the slave-master, seek to do is to dismantle any trace of the welfare socialist system so that they can institute various tiers of modern slavery which they can then conveniently manipulate globally - only for their exclusive benefit.
  
  Now get this clear, the NDC is not and has never been or claimed to be a socialist oriented party. Kufuor would not have served as a Minister in the NDC if it was. That is clear.
  
  So now, even though the NDC claims to be a Social Democratic entity - and I hope you know what that means, it is more capitalist in practice than even the Republican Party in the US which the NPP proudly takes after - symbols, theories, colors, warts and all.
  
  Coming to think of it, even the NPP which is proudly capitalist and pro-imperialist, appears to be more and more socialist inclined when compared to the NDC.
  
  The NDCs rhetoric is definitely not, as you claim, colonial in anyway. It is aggressively capitalist without any shame or doubt. Capitalism is the natural sequence of colonialism which is also a natural sequence of slavery. Its in the family. It is bad blood and you have been infected by it.
  
  If socialism is a thing of the past, how come the most advanced capitalist nation has virtually become a slave (financially and economically) of China - a communist state? Dont tell me, in the same way that illiterate and hopelessly uninformed people like you are prone to say, that the Peoples Communist Republic of China is now a capitalist country. It is not. It is ONLY an advanced socialist/communist country and if you ask me, I would advise that we should take a few lessons from them to reach where they have got to without slaves, colonial dictatorship and oppressive neo-colonial diktat over poor defenseless African and Asian countries, in just over 60 years.
  
  Lastly, you would do yourself some good if you changed your pen-name from Turkey to something else. The name or word (as a description)turkey, has a very unpleasant connotation which incidentally, your opinion on this subject seems to portray.

  Unless you are an idiot, I never equated socialism with IMF. I implied exactly the opposite. 2. As for NDC being a socialist party, these are their own words. I insist that the NDC is made up of a bunch of illiterates who call themselves revolutionaries. Sometimes - and oftentimes - they admit this themselves. That does not make me an NPP member. I have never been NPP. To some of you idiots, every Ghanaian must be either NDC or NPP. That's warped thinking. As for my Turkey, sorry that's my name. I wonder if you know what Agbotui means in the Ewe language. You never advised the murderer, Jerry Rawlings to drop it. As for your theories of socialism, I'd better not even waste my valuable time on the nonsense. By the way why did you guys not go to China for money? You must be a JSS product.

  My dear Turkey, if you did not wish to equate socialism with the IMF, then it only means that, like your fumbling logic, your linguistic expression is equally so chaotic that one cannot quite exactly make out what it is that you want to say or express. If you were sure of what you were expressing, you would not need to IMPLY anything, you would emphatically state your views or points. Now does it really matter if the NDC is made up of a bunch of illiterates who call themselves revolutionaries?
  
  Perhaps you have lost sight of the fact that we (Ghana) are in a democracy in which, illiterate or revolutionaries not, anyone with a vote can vote or stand for political office. Is that a problem for you?
  
  I have never heard or seen anywhere that the NDC or any of its functionaries, have made claims alluding to the NDC being a socialist party. To clear this misunderstanding up, I guess the best point of reference would be for you to consult their constitution. After that it would be nice of you to behave like a gentleman and come back on this platform to apologize to me, otherwise you are also an illiterate.
  
  If you cannot express yourself well, does it also mean that you should not appreciate what others are expressing? Are you suffering from some kind of psychosis or what? I never in my rebuttal, mentioned that you were an NPP member or sympathizer, even though your foul sentiments smell of that possibility. If truly you are not an NPP member, I would advise you to join them instead of aimlessly wasting your stupidity on being foolish.
  
  I do not know that Rawlings has another name which you insinuate to be Agbotui. If that is indeed so, why should it be my business to advise him to drop that name if I didnt know that he was called thus? As far as I am concerned, a turkey in English, Ewe, Ga, Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish or any other language is still a turkey. If in spite of my advise, you still insist on being a turkey, well so be it. Good luck in your endeavors as a turkey.
  
  Again, I did not expound any theories on socialism. I only tried to make an honest analysis to awaken you up from the 16th century, when you fell asleep. But since as it seems you are still not ready to wake up, all I can do is to leave you alone. But before I do that, I would again dare to advise you you not to reject the need to study or analyze any kind of philosophy, ideology or way of life which has evidently helped mankind to rid itself from the backwardness of greed, poverty, deprivation and bigotry. You do that at your own peril and loss.
  
  And finally, what has going to China and being a JSS product got in common? And what money from China are you talking about and who are the "you guys" that you allude to?
  
  Mr Turkey you are definitely suffering from some kind of paranoia. My last advise to you is that you should see a shrink.

  NDC a socialist party? It depends on who you talk to. The NDC is a bunch of disorganized failures who'll say different things at different times. Some even say they do not have any ideology (of course, they do not have to); others have kept talking about revolutions (a reference to Jerry Rawlings madness) and many others do not even know what to say. Ask ET Mensa what the NDC ideology is. I mention his name because I have had a discussion with him on this before. The guy is stack illiterate.

  THIS MAN TALKS SO MUCH, HE EVENTUALLY TALKS BALONEY. HE HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR SIX YEARS AND NOW TALKING ABOUT LEARNING FROM PAST MISTAKES, WHEN THE NATION HAS ALREADY BEEN LEAD INTO THE ABYSS. SO IF IT IS NOW THAT, HE IS LEARNING FROM PAST MISTAKES, WHEN IS HE GOING TO FINISH LEARNING, BEFORE WORKING TO IMPLEMENT WHAT HE LEARNT. "TIME AND TIDE WAITS FOR NO MAN", THE ENGLISH ADAGE GOES. MEANWHILE, GHANAIANS HAVE UNTOLD SUFFERING, WHILE HE TAKES DECADES TO LEARN FROM PAST MISTAKES. THE NDC HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR 26 YEARS, OUT OF 57 YEARS SINCE GHANA'S INDEPENDENCE.

  Folks,to be frank president Mahama is talking nonsense no dispute about that.President is talking as if he came to power to inherit the worst economy in the history of Ghana while he came to inherit robust economy and the fastest growing economy on the face of the planet and eat all our money to the bone by using it for merry making and drinks and borrowed without using the money for intended projects and programmes and finding ways to deceive Ghanaians and doing everything possible in his power to fix things.No wonder president Mahama,months ago calling for partnership in govern Ghana.How could gold,cocoa,exporter of electricity and oil producing country sell it self to IMF?Ghana is going to experience same old,same old past mistake guided by IMF to worsing our progress and get stalk in dead end ninty five with no release.The only solution for Ghana to remove it self from IMF shackles is to remove president from flagstaff houseby staging Arab string to bring President Mahama out from office.

  If John Mahama thinks the IMF is going to bend to his whims and caprices, then he must think again. From 1983 to 1990 when JJ Rawlings worked with the IMF, it imposed the harshest conditionalities on Ghana's economy never seen before. The IMF compelled Ghana government to sell off all state-owned enterprises so cheaply because at that time the cedi was at its lowest. Many government workers were laid off and subsidies on essentials such as education, health, petrol, and others were removed. Today look at the kind of students graduating from our schools and mortality/life expectancy rate in the country.
  
  Keep on dreaming Mahama!!!
