We don't need a tall handsome leader travelling all over the world, smiling and making dumb, embarrassing speaches. We need someone who will sit at home and work hard to improve the economy and plight of the poor people.

more than 95 % of our people know this govt has failed and will continue to fail because their corrupt minds can never do anything good . they are rotten to the core so are not buying the Anti Ashanti hate propaganda you sell since they know it only beefs up the general Anti Akan agenda you promote . The undeclared warfare against the Akans is recognized for what it is and these youth with justice in their hearts will not follow this ndc treachery no longer . Tribalist northers and hegemony of the ewe are the only ones who in their stupidity think the suffering of others means their benefit . Nobody believes in the fake ashawo govt and we shall make our country better by relying only on ourselves and hard working people , all they have now is the deep resentment and our despising approach . their govt is spoilt rotten with their corruption meant to keep the Akans in poverty but God is on our side and we shall prosper , their skinpain will kill them off one by one .only an illiterate fool like does not see the catastrophe this pepeni govt has brought upon us . International agencies and the IMF are confirming what we have been saying all along and that is mahama's incompetence , corruption and idiotic stubborn foolishness has destroyed all the positive efforts of all past govts including his former boss mills who he murdered . the bloody revolution will cleanse this menace once and for all . i will agree our prospects are bright now that the majority of the business community realize we have a bogus fake govt and self reliance is the best .as long as we stay away from any govt or better put ndc corruption and do our own thing the economy will recover . the corruption , tribalism , nepotism divide and rule tactics , criminalization of the innocent , biased judiciary and propaganda war against the Akans are all signs of the undeclared warfare against the Akans. God is on our side and this voice in the wilderness of ayigbe/pepeni wickedness can never be silenced

It appears no questions were asked about corruption, it would have been a resounding 100% respodents saying government is corrupt and useless.

Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund: Ghana's 401k.....Martin Skankar of Norway
Do you know that nations blessed with natural resources have less wealth than those less? This is to be blamed on bad governance and weak institutions.
This is what needs to happened in ghana for things to change.
Consult Martin Skankar of Norway, a fund manager.
A percentage of all revenues from oil, gold, cocoa etc MUST be deposited into a ghana sovereign fund and invested all over the world by the best investment brains. This money will not be touched by any government, ever! Infact, the revenues accrued from this investment will be used to fund pension, healthcare, education, infrastructural projects, roads etc in Ghana.
DON'T Invest in: What companies produce and how they are produced e.g don't invest in nuclear/chemical weapons, tobacco, companies like walmart(humanitarian clauses)
Norway has pretty much built their economy from the oil they have. Their sovereign fund is the largest national 401k in the world!

"Bad Aid" by Dambisa Moyo
thats the only reason behind these loans from imf. the Ghana govt artificially create the monetary and economic conditions in Ghana that we need the loans. They dilute the numbers. they dont care about the future repercussions or interest rate to ghana. once the multinational loans are issued, they jump.for joy like daycare kiddies, aben wo ha, our day niggas! some.sod cuts for show and presumed contracts are signed but the jobs will never see the light of day!
Corruption, Mismanagement and public sector inertia, redtape is the cause for all this mess and imf fuckers! We have no one to blame but us and no one will ditch us out. If your own family won't ditch you out of a grave. What do you expect from imf? Until we can find a solution to those issues listed. These corrupt politicians who steal don't even reinvest their stolen monies back in ghana. That's why ghana is suffering! Who are you waiting for to bring money into ghana? Remittances from "burgers" or imf dollars? Like my Oldman always use to say "you have a llooonnngggg way to.go"! Believe nothing you hear and 1/2 of what you see!!!

LOOKING AT THE DESTRUCTION NDC HAS CAUSED TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN THE PAST 26 YEARS, ANY TALK ABOUT THIS INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION WINNING THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS, WOULD BE DEEMED AS A BIG INSULT ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL GHANAIANS!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF NDC TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE 2016 ELECTIONS, THEY MUST RATHER RENDER THEIR UNRESERVED AND SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA, FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED. NDC ARE NOT MANAGERS, THEY ARE DAMAGERS!!!!!!!!

The Ghanaian electorate gave NDC and Mahama 4 years mandate. When that time is up they will have the opportunity to decide if they will give them another 4 years or bring in another party.

From the look of things NDC will once again carry at least 8 regions versus a paltry 2 for NPP, and get another 4 years. Npp could not even win the parliamentary, yet here you are talking bullshit.

The survey is bullshit. Their methodology does not meet scientific muster. Anybody can go and ask anyone any questions and get the responses they want. Have you seen the American politics before? Endless opinion polls and yet Obama won easily. If you want a true and accurate polls you have to open it up to a broad number of participants.

And even if an opinion poll suggests people are dissatisfied with the government it does not imply they will vote for the other party in a general election. In America Democrats are angry with Obama for not ending the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Does that mean they will vote for the republicans who have said they will escalate the wars?

Go and learn logic before spewing bullshit on the web. Bush people.

Yes Ghanaians want governemtnto succeed but for now they have failed and that is what Ghanaians are talking about. If you don't tell government now that they have failed will they even want to succeed no because you were satisfied with their failure and you never spoke. It is rather thoe who want government to succeed that are criticising them everyday so that they can improve not those who are afraid to talk, because their party may loose power, that is unpatriotic, dishonesty and greediness.

BUT FOR CONTESTING THE LAST GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR HIS OWN EGOTISTICAL INTEREST, THE ECONOMY WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING MUCH BETTER THAN NOW. HAS ANYONE CALCULATED WHAT THE EIGHT MONTHS OF POLITICAL LEGAL STALEMATE COST THE STATE? GHANA WAS ON ROLL THEN. EVERYTHING CAME TO A HALT. AKUFFO ADDO DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE CAUSED FINANCIAL LOST TO THE STATE . ALSO, HE BELIEVES ELECTION RESULTS ARE TRUE ONLY WHEN IT FAVORS HIM. NPP SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN SOMEONE ELSE AS THE FLAG BEARER.

The Ghana Centre for Democracy Nd Development (CDD-Ghana), has it wrong.
Rather, the concentration should be on getting the political superstructure right and agreed upon first before diving into the economy, which though important, tends to be divisive.

I think we voted for someone who was not ready for the job. Everything in Ghana is not working. Ghanaians have to think properly next time round.

GHANA'S ECONOMY CAN ONLY LIVE TO EXPECTATION WHEN THE EDUCATED ARE PRESSURED BY HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT MAHAMA TO DELIVER IN THE TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW AS A DRIVE TO INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY, CURIOUSITY, DISCOVERY AND INVENTION TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME IN GHANA.

PRESIDENT HAS THE EDUCATED FAILED TO REASON THAT, IT IS AT THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT A TRUE MARKET SYSTEM WORKS.

HOW LONG SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA CONTINUE TO CATER FOR THE NOISY EDUCATED PEOPLE WITH BIG TITLES OBTAINED AT HOME AND ABROADIN THE COUNTRY.

THIS IS INDEED VERY TERRIBLE TO BE DIGESTED.

DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION RESTS ON THE PERFORMANCE AND COMPTETENCE OF ITS EDUCATED AND TRAINED PEOPLE.

IT IS BECAUSE OF THE EDUCATED BEING UNPRODUCTIVE THAT, THE NATION CONTINUES TO FACE ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES AND CHALLENGES.

ARE GHABAIAN ECONOMISTS NOT AWARE OF THESE TEACHINGS IN THE ECONOMIC TEXT BOOKS.

TIME TO TELL THEM TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

THIS SOUND VERY SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL.

John Mahama and the hopeless NDC government are at their wits end.The economy is stagnated.It baffles me that the huge loans spent have not been able to stimulate consumption and created jobs.It is not surprising that the government has resorted to lies and deception to simplify the economic problems facing us.
We are in deep trouble:the price of crude oil is below $100/barrel,gold is dancing below $1300/ounce,way below the near $2000/ounce a few years back.
Our industries have been hamstrung by cheap imports(mostly Chinese) and high cost of production from new taxes and utility overheads to add to production so as to reduce the demand pressure and bring down the 16.5% CPI.The 19% Bank of Ghana lending rate has aggravated the problem by steering away commercial banks lending from the private sector to the public sector.Our debts have been increased without a corresponding reciprocal expansion in infrastructure.The knee-high potholes are still claiming innocent lives and the rains have rendered feeder roads unusable.Our foreign exchange reserves are seriously depleted.Gold production is not forthcoming, as a result of the reduced world price.Unemployment is barking at the youth on a daily basis.
Household incomes have been squeezed by annoying and persistent increases in utility and refined petroleum products.And then the adding-insult-to -injury dumsor,dumsor.
In fact,the poor in Ghana are really magicians.
How are they able to survive from day to day?
Give John Mahama and the hopeless NDC a boot out in 2016.
Vote Nana Addo and the NPP for a prosperous Ghana.
