"The drug barons are currently targeting Ghana making us a vulnerable nation hence we must toughen our national security at all our Airports. If Ms Ametefeh has been allegedly doing such manoeuvres since 2009 goodness knows how many of such people have used this method just because of their status in society as security around such people have been relaxed. No one can be trusted when it comes to such issues any more as our security is at stake. We should not even allow the VVIP section security to be relaxed so that unscrupulous people take advantage of such freedom afforded to them in the wake of this saga".

Desperate NPP apparatchiks. Motivated by envy and hatred. Why release this skewed pool at this time when the IMF is in town negotiating a bail out for Ghana? What is the IEA up to? To scuttle the Pres. Mahama's bid to revive the Economy? Ghanaian Industrialists and the business community should see through this inferior tactics of bringing the government down.

Just like Mr IVOR Greenstreet and most Ghanaians,we are NOT feeling & seeing the so called BETTER GHANA AGENDA with exception of NDC - EWES & Northerns.Most of us are living in abject POVERTY.And thse people have all the RESOURCES in the LAND.THAT IS A FACT.Though it sounds TRIBALISTIC, BUT is to THROUGH A PURE LIGHT on PRESIDENT MAHAMA Administration which has surrounded himself with most incompetent Tribesmen & Ewes from ONLY this two(2)Regions.Is anything better going to come from this Govt NOW? WE ARE STILL YET TO SEE.

Bodies such as the IEA often have their agendas and select respondents who will answer their questions to their taste.

Such a stupid generalization of issues. Kufuor claimed to have reduced poverty from 46 to 28% in 8 years. So where from your fraudulent claim?

What were the statistics during Rawlings and Kuffuor era?

Ghanaians have always lived the same disparaging lives since Nkrumah, the poor are stupid and inbreds, they have no desire to change their impoverished state of mind and existence. Ghanaians love to beg for food, money and cellphones. It is a disease, don't blame governments past and present.

65% of the inhabitants of Accra do not belong here, they were homeless and jobless and migrated to Accra just to BUG THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of the civilized Southerners.

Unless there is real law and order, strict enforcement of bylaws, and the relentless abolishing of all the primitive coexistence of bush villagers and cosmopolitan citizens within the same environment, we will remain doomed. You can blame Mahama all you want, Akufo Addo will not do any better, neither can Nduom or CPP. It is you who is reading this that is the problem.

Eii So is it not true that Ghanaians are battling with poverty?Why all these attacks on IEA and the rest.The NDC has made us all poorer than we were before.There is no doubt about that.Cost of living is so high,ends cannot meet at the end for even those who are earning salaries.If there is going to be war in Ghana,then it will never be caused IEA ,even poverty itself is a national security threat.Mahama our northern brother should sit up we are suffering.

Ghanaians in general knows that every Ghanaian is poor so what is the purpose this so called survey( Cooked up of course)? The poverty situation in Ghana started from the overthrow of Nkrumah and worsened by Kufour
