I urge, entreat, supplicate, admonished and above all beg NPP delegate to harness their moral duties and obligations to shun Akuffo Addo and elect Alan as their presidential candidate. If de delegates didn't heed my advice they will together with Akuffo Addo and his supporters plung Ghana in to war zone.Becase Nana is so obsessed and preocuppied with the presidency and he is poised to go beyond morality. A cat in disarray makes a strange moves and behave irresponsible.Because when Nana loose again to president Mama, he has nothing to loose, because he has lost already. Becuase he has no Ghana at heart, he will destroy the peaceful and beautiful country in West Africa. Because if Nana is not saying what he is going to do, he is going to do what he is saying. (ALL DIE BE DIE).Please super delegates i am apealing to your consceince to use your God given moral compass to save Ghana from disaster, eitherwise your children and grand grand children will never forgive you.

Only those without the right frame of mind does not seem tos ee corrupt Dramani Mahama as a foolish and clueless President.

And what we the civilized citizenry are asking hopeless NDC idiots that when rain fell if they did not hear,
when day broke, they did not see ground as wet?

Does NDC stupid monkeys think all Ghanaian People are foolish as themselves?

We are sounding it solemnly in the ears of every NDC so-called politicians and their supporters that
deceitful Mahama and his NDC bunch of criminals can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time. So-called BBC NEWS!!!!!!! continue to remain in your shit but we the civilized Ghanaian people are aware that Mahama has led Ghana our beloved country into the State of anarchy and bankrupt and we will never see them to rob the conscience of the majority people of this nation as they did in 2012 as Atuguba the so-called Judge is still a
corrupt idiot. 2016 you NDC all will
account for your togtal misappropriation of State funds as Nana Akuffo Addo will lead this nation
to be a country of greatness and progress.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

Ghana barried its brain when they voted NDC in party. I am going to try NPP next time because at least there were signs of developments in their time in office though they were also currupt.

It's okay to admire a leader, but where you get to the place where you see no faults in your leader, you become a sycopanth and a liability because you can't correct him when he's wrong. Every political leader has their skeletons.It's time Ghanaians place Ghana above their party, president and tribe, otherwise we are going nowhere.

When a civil servant making less than US 2000 dollars, can afford to pay for the cost of education of his two kids at $60000 each at Stanford University, you have to ask where does the money come from?

If the very man (governor of BoG )in charge of fiscal responsibility of the country, bills us a whopping $12000.00 a month for the cost of his hotel accommodation how can we move the economy in the right direction?

The leadership is totally infected with corrupt and incompetent bofoons.

Kwakye Ofosu tell us precisely what deliberate goverment policy is making the cedi stable against the dollar!telll us I can understand the deliberate policy to mean the borrowing from the international market I am refering to the $1.5billion borowing of the eurobond but if you borrow at such a high rate to show off have you forgoten that you will pay off some years to come?and what of the interest payment of $40mill per year?you have forgotten the eurobond was oversubscribe because of high interest rate?which of the european countries or in the US here will borrow at such a high%?
Again have you told the masses that the COCOBOD borrowing of $1.7billion to buy cocoa this year and the fact that tradres specifically importers are not putting a pressure on the dollars because they are now moving invoices to supliers for the supplly of xmas goods whose payment will come up in 1st quarter or 2nd quarter 2015 which has also a multiplier effect of lowering speculation has stabilize the cedi are these things new?please dont sell your ignorance or insult our intelligence senior.be in your propaganda best after all that is what you are paid for to say black is white

The deliberate gov't policy is to borrow funds to meet the supply side of the forex market? That is the most unintelligent policy position ever, that you can borrow your way out of your catastrophic forex situation. Clearly there's a deficit in the competence required to address the economic debacle in which the country finds itself, and Ghana should be very afraid, more so when looting and thievery is thrown into the mix, my goodness.

When Jerry Rawlings went on his mad rampage in Dec 1981, the dollar was 2.75 old cedis. He left it at 7,500 before looting Ghana with the wife trailing behind him like a rain-beaten dog. This prompted the next government to redenominate. When Atta Mills took over in January 2009, the dollar was 1.20. Today it is 3.50 to the dollar, down from 4. How can so many Ghanaians be so stupid for so long? And where was NDC and Kwakye Ofosu when the cedi was falling. Has the NPP stopped hoarding the dollar, or the Obroni wawu importers have stopped their business? Idiots.

Look at this dimwit with his lying self again. What deliberate government policies is he talking about? The cedi is gaining a little bit of strength against the Dollar and other major trading currencies due to the cocoa syndicated loan and the Euro bond injected into the economy but nothing else. This is not going to be sustainable in the long term. Oh this incompetent NDC and it's propaganda.

hounorable dnt deceive ghanaians, the cedi is gaining strendgth bcos people fear with the one million euro bond and the cocoa money that govt is expecting when it arrives the cedi will fall so those who have harbor dollars in their rooms are selling the dollars for the fear of loss when the eurobond arrives. and basic economic will tell you when ever supply exceeds the demand prices falls.so it is peoples expectation that has caused the cedi to gain strength and it is temporal.
