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

CRIMINAL POLITICIANS HATE THIS. WHICH ONE ARE YOU? A CRIMINAL POLITICIAN LIKE VICKY HAMMAH WITH A TARGET TO BAG OR A FOOLISH FOLLOWER. IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER, YOU FIT WELL INTO THE PROFILE OF PEOPLE I DISCRIBED HERE AS 'FOOLISH FOLLOWERS' WHEN EMILE SHORT SAID WE SHOULD NAME, SHAME AND JAIL CORRUPT OFFICIALS. READ WHAT I SAID ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU BELOW:

How different is that going to be with political party followers (those I call FOOLISH FOLLOWERS) strongly stepping in to cover these criminals hiding behind political parties? Wisdom has eluded most Ghanaians to the extent that when a criminal in politics is caught red handed in a crime, REFFERENCE IS MADE TO A SIMILAR CRIME THAT HAS GONE UNPUNISHED (when your party was in power, you did even worse) to justify the present one. This is how far we have lost our conscience. How about those who have nothing to do with any political party, what do you tell them to justify your crime. Until something is done about our constitution to give a little more autonomy to law enforcing agencies to operate without fear of reprisal from the executive branch of government, we will not be able to change much. To see a police man being ordered by the AMA Boss on the street to arrest a driver for tooting his horn, really makes a mockery of law enforcement in Ghana. If those in uniform understand the law properly, they can use their discretion in situations like these. Do you think such a policeman can arrest this AMA boss if he finds himself on the wrong side of the law? Who determines that 'the big man' has broken the law and must be arrested at once? With poverty, unemployment and deliberate attempt by politicians to DIVIDE GHANIANS ON TRIBAL LINES, it will only get worse until these are addressed. I rest my case.

NPP partisans believe there are good coups and bad coups. The coups organized by their ideological mercenaries are, of course, the good coups. Ghana and Africa cannot afford such a hypocritical and dangerous stance. As events in Burkina Faso have shown recently, there must be one principle: ALL COUPS ARE ILLEGAL AND UNACCEPTABLE.

Does Elizabeth Ohene also bear a grudge against Afrifa and Kotoka for the 1966 coup which paved the way for all other coups in Ghana?

RAWLINGS PARTY ARE UNINTELLIGENT UNEDUCATED PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE MONEY QUICK AT THE EXPENSE OF LAW ABIDIING CITIZEN WHO WILL NOT STEAL A PENNY GIVEN THE CHANCE TO STAY BACK AND HELP. NDC AND RAWLINGS HAVE TAKEN GHANA AS THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY SO THEY CAN DO WHATERVER THEY WANT. ITS ONLY UNQUALIFIED AND ILLITRATES WHO WHEN GIVING POSITION OF TRUST AND AUTHORITY WILL BE STEALING FROM THE GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF USING RESOURCES FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANKIND. SEE HOW SOON HOW RAWLINGS AND HIS COHORTS ARE grey,pale and stale. HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY THEIR ILL GOTTEN BOOTY. THEY WILL SOON GO AND LEAVE IT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND IT WILL TOTALLY DISTROY THEM AND THEIR GENERATION BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE IT THAT WAY. THE WAY RAWLINGS COME TO POWER, STARTED SHOOTING AND KILLING DECENT PEOPLE EVEN BEFORE FORMING A GOVERNMENT, WHY BECAUSE THEY HAVE USED THEIR INFLUENCE TO BORROW MONEY FROM THE BANKS OR FOR SILLY REASONS. THAT ERA AND NOW WHO CAN TELL WHEN MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS SUFFER THE MOST. POSTERITY IS THE JUDGE. AFRICAN AND GHANIANS IN PARTICULAR WE HAIL THIEVES AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO BEG FROM PEOPLE LIKE RAWLINGS, MAHAMA AND CO TO SURVIVE. THEY ALL RUNNING SCARED OF THEIR OWN SHADOW.

Please do not let us fight over the words she used to express her disgust and disapproval of such dark acts. She is right and we as Ghanaians are all the poorer for it. She is a forward thinker and if we had a few like her in June 1979 or our second opportunity in December 1981, we would have gone very far by now. Do we respect our constitution today? If yes, then we should have respected it in December 1981.

I just wonder how long it takes for public figures to properly formulate a 'vision' and a 'development course' for the country. We spend too much time re-visiting completely uninteresting and unintelligent arguments, just to win points for our parties. Political parties are destroying the country, by their constant insults, arguments over childish issues, and unnecessary radio and TV appearances. Ghanaian politicians seem to care only about themselves and how to hang on to power, rather than caring for the millions who are truly struggling to survive. Time will tell.

Apart from throwing bombs the NPP has also specialized in dealing in narcotics. One NPP MP jailed for drugs. Akuffo Addo formulated the infamous "Golden Boy Bill" with the aim of freeing drug dealers jailed in foreign countries. 77 parcels of cocaine disappeared in broad day light. Cocaine turned into konkonte flour. The militia leader and lawyers without a law certificate wakes up in the morning with a cloud of wee hanging on his face. This what Lizzy should be educating out children about. Anyway it is not yet history because the NPP are in high gear on drugs usage and trade.

That is why the CPP will have nothing to do with the NDC. Rawlings who is said to be the 'founder' of the NDC illegally overthrew the the democratically elected government of Dr Hilla Limann .The party which brought Limann to power the PNP was founded by Imoru Egala,a former minister of the CPP government of Osagyefo and an Nkrumaist till he died.By removing Limann from power Rawlings signalled that he was against the CPP, the Nkrumaists and all that they stood for.He also told the whole world that he did not believe in democracy.

Limann was no CPPist (let alone Nkrumaist!). Limann was imposed on the party by his relative (some say Uncle) Egala. It didn't matter then because people were fed up with the military upheaval and most CPPists voted for the party with old "Nkrumaists". There was also the tribal factor introduced by Victor Owusu which made most people of Ewe ethnicity understandably vote AGAINST Owusu by voting for PNP.

Botsio, Egala, Baako and all the other old faces were simply the opportunists they were when Nkrumah ruled. They came around and organized the PNP to come into power and "chop some" again. Read what Nkrumah wrote about Botsio in Dark Days in Ghana when the coup was announced to the delegation in Beijing! The important thing to evaluate is what Nkrumaist policies did Limann take to earn him that classification? An Nkrumaist is one who believes and acts consistently according to the thoughts.

Tell me where else in Africa's history a military leader did the same.

Whether he said he believed in democracy or not, he practised it in his last 8 years and thus laid the foundation for what you're enjoying today.

And don't come back with that garbage that he was forced by the West to leave.

What did the West do to the other African military-to-civilian Presidents who refused to leave when the same West was telling them to leave? Nothing, as long as the cheap resources were available.

It's not surprising to read about some funny comments coming from NDC apparatchiks after Ms. Elizabeth Ohene expressed her misgivings concerning the December 31, 1981 coup staged by Rawlings.

Rawlings should have been imprisoned long time ago or executed too as he did to other Military officers. He and his AFRC/P-NDC gang said they executed those military officers because they had caused treasonable offence by ousting democratically elected gov'ts in Ghana. So why is he still walking free after ousting late Prez. Hilla Limann?

People should listen to his latest outbursts; he's trying to instigate our Military to stage a coup because he believes corruption has reached unprecedented levels in Ghana's political history. He's however forgotten that it's his owh P-NDC party members who're in guilty of the corruption. This is the same man who proudly tells Ghanaians that he and his gang had to kill innocent Ghanaians. The fact is that the December 31, coup wasn't necessary; it didn't help Ghana as people could see for 19yrs Rawlings and his gang only succeeded in harassing and torturing innocent Ghanaians while many others were killed, murdered through heinous ordeals.

Rawlings and his NDC are afraid of Nana Akufo-Addo and wish he never become president. Ghanaians, esp. the NPP leadership must be wise and alert. God only knows what they're planning esp. when it's evident that their days are numbered. May God protect Ghanaians and deliver us from the clutches of evil men.

The Rawlings coup was illegal and criminal like ALL other coups! NPP sympathizers like Elizabeth Ohene cannot pick and choose which coup to bear a grudge over. There can only be one standard for anti-constitutional actions!

It clearly shows your party,with do a deal with the 'devil' to achieve power,so quit drawing 'nonsense' parallels. Was Osagyefo not also ousted from power Kotoka,Afrifa,er al even though he had not exhausted his stipulated term of office?
By the way,what did the govt you were part of,do for Limann and his family?

You bear a grudge? Why did your party sell out the Nkrumah government to the USA and the CIA? Was Afrifa not an agent of the Busia-Dankwa camp?

I think Elizabeth has a point. What was the justification for the coup? Ex-president Rawlings has just been reported as saying that corruption in the present government is tens times that of the General Acheampong that he ovethrew. Can anybody argue that the presnt government must be overthrown? No it must complete its term for the people to decide. However the will of the people must not be hijacked

I bear Rawlings a grudge for ousting Limann – Elizabeth Ohene
