Author:-Mahmoud...If we may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.

Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.

Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

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. Lord, there are too many office to office beggars in Ghana, that is a sign of poverty, kick those who encourage this out of office. Merciful Father, too many FOOLISH VOTERS who have no sense of dignity are rewarded with trips to soccer matches only to go and sleep on the floor in foreign land, and eventually seek asylum, stamp that disgraceful spirit out of Ghana. Lord, you have blessed us with everything that can make us rich, but you seemed to have forgotten to protect mother Ghana from greedy politicians and thieves; we call on you to rise and let these nation wreakers scatter in 2016. Amen

My late grandmother use to say that all politicians are liars and con people.
She also used to say that if one wants to tell lies, the one must tell lies with Big Windows so the one can escape through when caught. This is what Mahama doesn't know. He makes too many wild promises knowing they are lies and cannot be fulfilled. Finally, when he gets caught, then he has to tell another lie. It is very true that He who lives to lie, has to tell another lie. That is what is killing Mahama now. Mr. Prez, please don't make those vague promises because Ghanaians are now getting politically matured. Gone are the days when Nkrumah on his campaign trail at Koforidua promised people of the area that he will build an airport for them if the people voted him into office and the people clapped for him.

Daily Guide for once show little bit of credibility in your reportage.If it is for scoring political points for your (NPP)party that you are shamefully presenting such skewed reports, to tell you in the face you are failing big time, the backlash of all this lies will be more humiliating in 2016 than what happened in 2012. We know your gutter paper to be so, we won't fall to this nursery bait you are throwing at us Ghanaians. You will serve your party and the reading public better by presenting a balance report than this infantile approach ostensibly to give the government a bad image. This will not wash STOP IT.

The Mahama NDC gov't has failed and should resign. None of these promises is ever going to be fulfilled, because the Mahama/Amissah Arthur NDC gov't has looted all the loans, taxes, grants, aid and anything in between and such talk, is just the propaganda tirade being unleashed with reckless abandon.
We reiterate again that the Mahama/Amissah Arthur NDC gov't has failed and need to resign, and shun the propaganda because it's soo needless. It's embarrassing, a vey huge embarrassment.

The Voltarians are honest and loyal people but the (P)NDC led by Rawlings, Mills and Mahama have taken them for granted. The NDC should watch out the Volta region is no more their world Bank come 2016. Study carefully the culture and mindset of the people is immune in honesty. They see that in Nana Akuffo- Addo, whose mindset is in line with theirs, that means there is a common relation. This will translate to, the Voltarians voting for Nana and NPP. Winning the heart and mind of a good people is trust not propaganda. Period.

A goat draped in NDC colours is well and more appealing than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo profusely and locomotively, smoking weed (wee) or misusing drugs and draped in a graduating gown with a fake law certificate from the disgraced and world wide discredited Ghana Law School. Of course, Nana may appeal to you lot in Asante and the Akyem sectors. Tweeeeeaaa.

Fool, you don't even have the common sense or the basic intelligence to realise that the chiefs were talking to you and I including themselves because you and I are the people who carry out and implement government policies because we are workers and officers at the points of decision making e.g as civil servants typists, messengers, administers, managers, clinicians in our hospital, officers in the Police and Armed Forces, officers at the Ports of entry, government offices and departments, MPs, Regional and District Offices, Ministers, traders and religious leaders in fact, at all coners and sectors in our society. It is not only the government but all Ghanaians who have failed themselves. We are dishonest, untrustworthy, arrogant, violent, non-committed to National Interest, we just selfishness and we are totally irresponsible. Envy, jealousy and 'spite' are our trade marks. We tend to hide behind religious falsely to cover our ungodly behaviour but for men to see us as just. The chiefs can shout loud and point fingers but they are equally to blame because they are irresponsible leaders who seek their individual interest only. They do not commit foster cooperation, champion development or advancement. They are always waiting for government to do even the basic for them. Our chiefs have no vision to initiate project or ventures for progress. Until we change our attitude and mentality about advancing our sectors i.e towns and villages rather than just our selfish interest, nothing productive would advance our communities
