This NDC government is useless period. Ghanaians have another opportunity to choose between 'the crisis will be over soon' and corrupt NDC government and the NPP government that took Ghana from HIPC to middle income level, had economic policy that saw the flooding of Ghana with banks, introduced NHIS, Capitation Grant, School feeding program, massive road infrastructure development etc. 2016 is just near.

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Amen

Every day we wake we read about one corrupt act or the other. ,Now the government is taking this stealing to pensions without which people will literally suffer in their old age. Nobody can decide they want to look after your money for you especially those who cannot readily tell you where the money they have collected from you for safe keeping is. Today it's here, tomorrow it's there. The man of God unlike others have decided to speak on behalf of the ordinary man but demons like you who are stupid beyond belief are getting in his way.

Agyeiwa, is the Bishop not a Ghanaian? Doesn't he also buy tomatoes from the same market that you buy yours? And if the price of tomatoes go up shouldn't he say it? The Bishop has found it necessary to fight for his flock and do you want to tell us that he is wrong? The Council of State is just sleeping and when they wake up ask for their allowances. Look, I am a Ghanaian with no political inclinations, but what is wrong is wrong and never correct. Just imagine the price of crude oil on the world market being around 80 dollars and the gov't telling us that it wouldn't reduce fuel prices. Had it not been for the shouting on the gov't the latter wouldn't have seen the sense in our asking for fuel prices to be reduced, even though not as much as the public would have liked. Let's be a bit objective to help our country move forward.

It is this same question people are putting to our Bishops these days of corruption and national hardships which the government refers to as 'challenges'. Have our Bishops turned politicians now? But as I answered my own dad several years ago, I believe our Bishops may have the same answer now.
And what about the other Bishops who are not politicians? What are they and who are they?

NORTHERNERS STABBING ‘BROTHER
MAHAMA’
By theheraldteam
A 70-year old native of Bole, the
hometown of President John Dramani
Mahama, has taken a swipe at people
of Northern extraction, who have been
given appointments in governments
since independence, but have failed to
live up to expectation.
Dr. Albert Nuhu, who The Herald’s
findings, have established is a
confidante of President Mahama,
bitterly lamented about how people he
called “Northern Elite”, have
disappointed their “kith and kings”
from the three northern regions, after
the overwhelming confidence reposed
in them by the various presidents,
including Kwame Nkrumah, Jerry
Rawlings, John Kufuor, John Evans
Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama.
In an article published on JoyFM’s
news portal, www.myjoyonline.com
on Monday, Dr. Nuhu charged “…. I
cannot help but call on all Northerners
to stop blaming Southern domination
and look into ourselves to fight the
enemies of the North. The enemies of
the North, those who seek our
destruction, those who seek to
imprison the North in darkness,
poverty, ignorance, diseases and
perpetual cup in hand begging and
relying on government handouts are
the Elite of the North. Yes! our own
Elite. Because, our Southern brothers
have given us more than enough since
independence. Folks, one thing I know
very well are that the Northern elite
are the curse of the North”.
The US-based PhD holder wrote,
“After FASCOM, URADEP, NORRIP,
SADA 1 and now SADA2, if we do not
improve our lot, we should forget it
and stop blaming anybody for our
endemic poverty”.
Dr. Nuhu went on “Today, we have not
only been coopted and favored by all
regimes but, thanks to NDC, our own
boy, my little beloved brother, is
President of Ghana, duly nominated by
NDC and duly elected Nationwide. But,
it appears the election of John
Mahama has just turned loose the
wolves of Northern Ghana elite.
They are barking and tearing flesh left
and right, they have ganged on my
little brother John in the Flagstaff
House and taken him ransom, they
have looted from beneath him and
above him, they have grabbed every
pesewa that they can lay eyes on and
designated to assist our poor Northern
folks, they have sought to eat humans
raw in the name of “gold rush” for
Northern elite, and have turned
governance into a mockery. The
Northern elite seconded every
opportunity afforded by every regime
since independence in corruption,
greed, and shameless thievery. What
a shame! Let’s all repeat it after me
“What a shame!”
The Herald’s findings are that Dr.
Nuhu is a maverick and very well
known in Bole as a person, who never
shies away from speaking his mind,
irrespective of whose ox is gored.
He lived in the American city of
California for over 30 years, and
regularly boasts of his private
conversations with President Mahama
on a social media platform called
“Gonja Land Youth Association”.
Below is Dr. Nuhu’s article entitled:
“Northern Ghana Elite, The Blood
Suckers Of Northern Ghana”.
“I remember very clearly how angry
progressive Ghanaians and Africans
were when Obama came to Ghana and
asked Africans to stop blaming
colonialism and rather tighten their
belts and eradicate corruption in
Africa.
I was one of them.
Today I cannot help but call on all
Northerners to stop blaming Southern
domination and look into ourselves to
fight the enemies of the North. The
enemies of the North, those who seek
our destruction, those who seek to
imprison the North in darkness,
poverty, ignorance, diseases and
perpetual cup in hand begging and
relying on government handouts are
the Elite of the North. Yes! our own
Elite. Because, our Southern brothers
have given us more than enough since
independence. Folks, one thing I know
very well are that the Northern elite
are the curse of the North.
Why did Kwame Nkrumah institute the
Northern scholarship scheme? Why
did Kwame Nkrumah include so many
Northerners in his cabinet; such as
Hon. E. A. Mahama (John Mahama’s
father), Hon. Imoru Egala, Hon. L.R
Abavana, Hon. Mumuni Bawumia, Hon.
J. A. Brimah, Hon. Asumda, and Hon.
S. S. Sakara as the National
Propaganda Secretary of the CPP? The
head of the Security forces and Army
Bawa and Zanerigu were from the
North under Nkrumah.
Folks, in recent memory, why did JJ
Rawlings have almost more than a
third of his Cabinet from the North?
Professor Mills and the NDC followed,
with Northerners occupying many
Cabinet and top civil service
positions. Ask yourself, why did all
these regimes do that? Folks, Mr.
Ibrahim Mahama was taken straight
from Legon Law School to head a
Cabinet Ministry under Kotoka and
Afrifa; he did not even know how to
drive a car, and has since not been
able to drive a car. Even Kofi Busia
had a special place in his heart for
Northerners, and generously appointed
many Northern Cabinet Ministers.
If you don’t know the answer to my
questions, here it is. Because, there is
a famous saying that if you give
someone a fish you feed that person
for a day. But, when you teach
someone how to fish, you feed that
person for life. Simply put, all these
regimes gave us all these
opportunities and appointments to help
us help ourselves. But, like spoilt
brats, we blew every opportunity we
had to help and raise our people out of
poverty and misery. We deceived our
folks and enriched our individual
selves at the terrible and lamentable
expense of our own people.
Folks, these Northern elite that were
appointed to various cabinet positions
under all these regimes, simply
sucked the hell out of Northern poor
and innocent brothers and sisters.
They used the positions to enrich
themselves, as if they were ordained
by God to receive benefits on behalf of
Northerners who carried latrine,
worked in the mines, took care of
cocoa farms, pounded fufu and washed
dishes down south.
These Northern elite simply exploited
Northerners in the name of the
suffering and backwardness of the
North. They used the doctrine of lack
of amenities in the North to gather and
secure and protect amenities for
themselves. They literally stole from
the Northern peoples in the name of
lack of development in the North. They
embezzled from the unfortunate and
uneducated Northern brothers and
sisters in the name of lack of good
drinking water in the North. The
Northern elite woefully and
shamelessly exploited the plight of
their own brothers and sisters in the
North, and in the name of colonial
injustices to Northerners to line up and
oil their pockets.
Folks, the Northern elite blatantly
burglarized every institution that was
created to help alleviate poverty and
diseases and ignorance in the North,
in the name of the abandonment of the
North by Colonial powers and Ashanti
Landlords. They brutally corrupted
every institution and agency created to
narrow the gap between the south and
the North, in the name of the
discrimination of Northerners in the
work place. They embezzled and
robbed in plain day light the monies
set aside to help the North, in the
name of lack of respect and regard
from the south for Northerners. It is
like the “race card” abused by blacks
in the US; everywhere you look and
pass Northern elite are exploiting the
historical accidents on Northerners to
fill their bank accounts.
Folks, here are some examples of the
very real attempts by every regime to
redeem the North, and which efforts
and good intentions were exploited by
Northern elite to enrich themselves. I
am sure you all remember the fancy
names of agencies created to help
Northerners, which were misused and
mismanaged and robbed and abused
by Northern elite in the name of
compensations for Northern suffering.
Folks Sister Rosaline B. Obeng-Ofori
described our frustrations with the
Northern elite appropriately. She said
“After FASCOM, URADEP, NORRIP,
SADA 1 and now SADA2, if we do not
improve our lot, we should forget it
and stop blaming anybody for our
endemic poverty”.
What a woman; what a strong, honest
and conscientious Northern woman.
Folks, we all share Rosaline B.
Obeng-Ofori’s resentment of our
Northern inadequacies expressed in
our morally bankrupt, corrupt, greedy,
nefarious, shameless and nakedly
obscene Northern Elite.
Today, we have not only been coopted
and favored by all regimes but, thanks
to NDC, our own boy, my little beloved
brother, is President of Ghana, duly
nominated by NDC and duly elected
Nationwide. But, it appears the
election of John Mahama has just
turned loose the wolves of Northern
Ghana elite. They are barking and
tearing flesh left and right, they have
ganged on my little brother John in the
Flagstaff House and taken him
ransom, they have looted from beneath
him and above him, they have grabbed
every pesewa that they can lay eyes
on and designated to assist our poor
Northern folks, they have sought to eat
humans raw in the name of “gold rush”
for Northern elite, and have turned
governance into a mockery. The
Northern elite seconded every
opportunity afforded by every regime
since
independence in corruption, greed, and
shameless thievery. What a shame!
Let’s all repeat it after me “What a
shame!”
Shame on you Northern elite! Shame
on you Northern elite! Shame on you
Northern elite blood suckers of the
Northern poor! Shame on you Northern
elite embezzlers of monies ear
marked to alleviate Northerners from
poverty! Shame on you Northern elite,
who will not miss every opportunity to
complain of Northern suffering and
neglect since independence, and only
to turn around and steal and grab
every penny away from the real
Northern poor! Shame on you Northern
elite who only knows how to use the
Northern plight to advance their
individual enrichment agenda at the
expense, and in fact sometimes death
of Northern peoples because of hard
labor and toil!
Folks, I am deeply ashamed to be
called a Northerner just for one
reason. Because, that title is
synonymous with bureaucratic
corruption, indignant and blatant
robbery and looting of government
coffers; Yes, that title signifies
corruption without conscience against
our own people. When they talk about
“from rugs to filthy rich Northern
elite”, there could not have been a
better description.
The “Northern Filthy rich elite” are
really dirty, made and continue to
make their dirty money on the backs
and sweat and suffering of
Northerners.
For once, my dear dirty rich Northern
elite, you have your chance to change.
You have your chance with John
Manama in the Presidency to reduce
your greed and thievery. You have
your chance to repent and assist John
Mahama cleanse your names and
make you men and women worthy of
living.
You have John Mahama to assist you
to make Ghana and northern Ghana a
better place for all. Yes, your best
chance is in the person of John
Mahama, who embodies all good and
purity, and morally upright; and you
have the obligation to cut out the bull,
clean up your acts and join the
community of the civilized and
humane, and leave corruption to the
dogs. You can do it. You can change.
You owe it to your legacy to have a
conscience and do the right thing and
stop looting the portion of the National
cake that has been allocated to the
North.
As Gonjas put it, “amba kuli abre”,
meaning it’s time for self-criticism.
You Northern elite out there, shame on
you for humiliating and increasing
poverty in the North ten and hundred
fold; because you have siphoned away
and stolen every penny any
government has ever allocated to
assist the North. You have enough.
You have done enough damage; you
are a curse on humanity and you must
stop now.
I will conclude this piece by quoting
Sister Rosaline B. Obeng-Ofori again,
the West Africa Program Manager of
the Purdue Peace Project. Her
prophetic warning/caution/advice to
all of us Northerners will be the last
words for this segment of “Uncle Dee
gone crazy, fed up, and fed up of being
fed up with the corruption and naked
robbery of Northerners by the Northern
elite. She is talking to all of us
Northerners! She says:
““AFTER FASCOM, URADEP, NORRIP,
SADA 1 AND NOW SADA2, IF WE DO
NOT IMPROVE OUR LOT, WE SHOULD
FORGET IT AND STOP BLAMING
ANYBODY FOR OUR ENDEMIC
POVERTY”.
P/S: Note that sister Rosaline is not
an Ashanti woman; she is a strong,
decent, honorable, conscientious
Northern Lady, who goes to bed daily
with worries about the misery and
poverty plight of the North on her
mind, heart and soul. Amen!!

Why is it that DAILY GUIDE called only this Bishop for his comments and not any other? Birds of the same feathers flock together indeed. This Bishop behaves just as Kwamina Duncan or Kweku Baako, Nana Akomea or just any other ordinary NPP functionary. Is this man outonomous of the Methodist Church or his views are those of the Methodist Church? How can a Bishop of the Methodist church act as if he were the spokesperson of the OPOSITION NPP? Since this impasse broke, spokespersons of the NPP have suddenly assumed the role of advocates instead of mediators to ensure that Ghanaians do not unnecessarily suffer from the fall outs of this strike action. Then this legendary Bishop jumps into the fray as if by so doing the strike action would come to an end. It's high time the Church called this partisan Bishop to order.

Undoubtedly Ghana needs Pastors of Rev.Ayensu's calibre to move forward. In the midst of this NDC intimidatory political atmosphere, it requires a real "Man Of God" and courage to openly and persistently express his views on matters of national interest unlikely to please the incumbent. Reverend Ayensu is Ghana's answer to Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town, South Africa who led series of anti-aparthied demonstrations which eventually dismantled system.

Is it not hypocrisy? In the days Eli his two sons Hophini and Phinehas kept extorting from the people of God and they will do it with all the force leaving the congregation bad offering to offer as sacrifice to God. (1 Samuel CH.2) HYPOCRITS

What goes on in our churches today?

Unnecessary Appeal for funds, Offertory and Tithes
What language do they use to extort monies from the people?
We want Ten People to donate 500gh, Nine people to give 400gh, Eight people to donate 300gh, Seven people to Donate 200ghc and so on and on till the last person. This is aside what people will give as normal offering for the day that might be once, twice or thrice.
The people are then asked to pay their church dues and some who belong to some association will pay for uniforms and travelling expenses.
Meetings organised by all groups and association centre on how to mobilise funds for the growth of the church.

I have nothing against telling people to give but greatly have a problem when you don’t question the source of these incomes in the offering box? The evil enters the church and donates greatly and tomorrow he becomes the church president. His kids will be lured to take up priestly and pastoral training and in future becomes the head of the Christian community. What do you think will happen to the people of God?
They are bent on leading the people astray by twisting the truth to soothe their whims and caprices.
Can they truthfully say Ghana is hard than 1979 to 1983? When we used to queue to buy a tin of milk? Why have they been so ungrateful to God for all the graces and mercies around us?

Why have they kept quite when it is unequivocally true that John Agyekum Kuffour plundered the economy with his cronies like ( JH Mensa, Kwamina Bartels, Hackman Owusu Agyeman , Professor Ameyaw Ekumfi, Adumadze and many more who are so silent today enjoying their booty as if they are dead. Where were your voices when all these rot were happening? Were you also involved?

Why have you raise your voice against a government who is trying to fix the rot?
Why are you speaking against anything positive and turning the pulpit to campaign and politicise every government programme? Beware of the wrath of God; He who leads one of these ones astray will not be better than being thrown into the sea with a mile stone tied around their neck.

There existed professional prophets in days of Jeroboam king of Israel, whose sole duty is to prophesise to the king for food and their living allowance.
There came Amos from nowhere near the prophet band after he has encounter God in the sycamore vine to warn the King not to take Israel to war.
Because these stomach prophets knew they will loose their wages, should they accept Amos’ prophesy, impressed upon the king to send Amos away to prophesise to his kinsmen for bread.
The king did not heed to Amos` advice and took Israel to war against its enemies…..HE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR!!!!

All those who are pushing him (Nana Addo) will do him a great harm and regret for the rest of their lives. He cannot do anything new than being a replica of Kuffour`s rule; in addition to an obvious arrogant perception everyone sees of him. His intentions are black n white (DIE HARD) Nana Van dam but still he will die because he pronounced dead for himself. Only simple minded will fool for him…..Nana is not an achiever neither can he boast of any successful ambition than mischief. He is totally living on legacy which is not his toil but from the booty his forefathers pilfered from the state.

Mischievous words like these can only be spewed by people like you and Professor Martey, Bishop Asante Antwi, Mensa Otabil and Others. Do you really serve the God who made the heavens and the earth? I will imagine your disappointment if you die to see God as a person you really hate. How can you discriminate when you call yourself a follower of Christ? Your political stance has waterred down what I revered you for. Your opinions and expressions are full of malice against a group of people who were also created by the same God you serve. Why have taken stance and speak ill of one publicly whilst you are mute on your favourites. Beware!!! And if you have forgotten read Matt 18 verse 6……

What did you say when the following occurred:

When Kwamina Bartels and Kuffour were promising Longitudinal and latitudinal housing projects which never happened?
Kuffour`s MATREKO PRESIDENTIAL INITIATIVES?
When JAKE OBETSEBI LAMPTEY whose father a traitor and a suicide bomber used state funds to refurbished state bungalow and paid peanut for it when this bungalow can be reuse by future state leaders.
When another son of a traitor who claims to be a lawyer cannot prove his operating licence or law certificate? Do you think it is appropriate for innocent people to be convicted and sent to prison by the action and inactions of an uncertified Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo; who is perceived to be operating illegally?
HYPOCRITE PROPHET use your pulpit wisely and do the right thing. Don’t use the house of God to trade and deceive the people. You are really confused seek God well and don’t allow your emotions to taint Gods image.

And his beef with the current administration is that,it refused to appoint him the Head Chaplain of the Ghana Police. So, it is for this reason that this self-conceited fmr. police officer[Chief Supt] keeps bashing this govt.

Bishop Ayensu, this discord and disregard for people could only be cultivated by a party like NDC. It is a party that was conceived and born out of voilence and brutality from a brutal dictator J J Rawlings, who murdered his way to the top. J J Rawlings held Ghana and Ghanians hostage for 19yrs under the gun and murdered any one he perceived as an "enemy". He annexed the security forces, state institutions and partly the judiciary into his rampaging mad men and women.(Remember the judges who were dragged out from their bed in the night and murdered? And Rwalings say he didn't do it). So this is the only thing that the party called NDC know and understand, force, brutality,corruption,mayhiem and nothing good. And that, not until this cancer called NDC is out of the seen Ghana will never see peace, only because the NDC never do anything right. And I agree with you, that this careless behaviour on the part of the NDC could spark a civil war. Why? because you cannot keep cheating,deceiving, corrupting and stealing elections all the time , simply because you have put a monster machinery over the years to do so. Have we as a country see the wounds of war. It is not pleasant. So Mr President And your maurading NDC, you may win a battle but never a war, because no one wins a war. You won your twisted rigged election, but you never won over the good people of Ghana. See all these labour unrest, It is all because your stolen govt. is not anointed by Allah. And to make matters worse your govt. is always clouded in the clothes of darkness and secrecy. Just what are you hiding?

Clergyman have both lost their marbles!
The only difference I can point to is that while this Ayensu character appears to be clueless and always shoot from the hip,Abdul Malik deliberately fudges the truth! The 5% figure Ayensu is alluding to, represents the global worker contribution to both the basic[ ie the SSNIT scheme] and the tier 2 scheme,which has become the subject of the current industrial strife or controversy. Bear in mind the employer[the govt]chips in a whopping 13.5% to both tie 1 and 2. Ayensu should go for a crash tutorial on current pension regime, before he sticks his nose to where it does not belong!
