When you've placed only Northerners at top positions and some of them talking nonsense. You dance to Yen tie obiaa and reject advice from the opposition. You waste taxpayers money staging a forum on economics at Akosombo or whatever and come back with nothing. So then, how do form a collective push?

''We have been vice presidents for far too long, it is time you make ONE OF YOUR OWN President.'' John Mahama.

WHAT ARE THE REST OF US TO JOHN MAHAMA?

THE USELESS NDC PARTY IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
Everything that units us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

When Kufour was giving jobs to his nephews, nieces and uncles when they were in power it was Ashanti/Akyem.

Now that they are blindly combing everywhere for power they are now Akans and not Ashanti/Akyem again.

How many GOLD CHAINS did Kufour give to other tribes apart from Ashanti/Akyems? How many contracts did NPP give to Akans when they were looting Oman Ghana in the name of Jubilee celebration?

You cannot fool Ghanaians we all know the agenda of your narcissist diabolical party called NPP

Your divide and rule propaganda tactics is now exposed. Akans shall unite and kick you assholes out with or without Ashantis. If Kuffuor looted Ghana, you guys have finished Ghana completely.

Why should ghanaians worry the erstwhile fomer 2 term President. KUFFOUR was from Kumasi.Everyone knows him.Some even claim to be his relatives.But check his birth and family.This man was from a well respected family in kumasi.A true son of Ghana determined to move the country forward.Mistakes were made and his astonishing results overshows his faults.Opinions can be divided by by those who claim ethnic division.We are one Ghana and we need capable leadership and determined professionals wherever they may be to coach and uplight the country from stagnation and dumsor dumsor.Why Why should it be like education is soo useless and no one to help our dear country.We have highly educated men of vision to transform Ghana to a better country.

This is John Mahama's version of the Adams Smith's economic dependency theory. After the loot of the economic base, you will then depend on my cash loot and transform the economy of Ghana. You may also fall on IMF to fill the till, and then loot again to transform the economy. After all, my younger brother owns FORTIZ and an American jet. This is real economic transformation under DUMSOR and schools under trees. All the Asontaaba guinea fowls will come to fill up the economy. Don't forget GYEEDA, RLG, WOYOME......... Please put your hands together for massive economic transformation in the name of Ghana's independence. Blavo, Ghana @ 58. At least we have been able to educate our Northerners to rule us, after independence.

Mr President, if you want collective effort to fix the monstrous economic monster that you and your NDC have created there are 2 things that you have to do.
First all the corrupt practices and corrupt payments that you and your govt. made must be recovered and recovered now. The receipients of such dubiuos payments and all those who facilitated the payemnts must be prosecuted and prosecuted now and jailed for longer terms to act as deterrent. YOu are asking for a shared responsibilty to cure the economy, however, you failed to appoint experienced people from other parties into your govt. and appointed school boys into you govt. who have helped you run the counrty to the ground. And now you want a shared responsibility to turn the nation around. This is unbelievable. Only in Ghana. YOu messed it up. People are looting and corrupting around you and you don't act. You messed the country up, you fix it wlth your NDC party thieves.

What about tribal intolerance?

Kufuor’s ERA
In a boat disaster in the Volta lake, some commuters sadly lost their lives.
Hon Joe Gidisu, arrogantly and provocatively openly stated officially in parliament that, President Kufuor had deliberately refused to put in measures to prevent such disasters in pursuance of NPP deliberate Ewe ethnic-cleaning agenda.
This preposterous, ethnocentric and highly divisive statement was calmly swallowed by NPP in the name of tolerance and unrepentant NDC activists, Joe Gidisu and his fellow NDC MPs were delighted. Gidisu bnever aspologised for his grave recklessness

Mills Era
A more serious boat disaster occurred on the same Volta Lake and as many as 36 commuters died. Now, the loudmouthed NDC activists and Joe Gidisu were ‘mumu’ as if nothing happened.
I am tempted to conclude that the disaster was a divine intervention to teach Joe Gidisu and his NDC a big lesson.
Where is decency in this democracy?
Where is the tribalism in this our democracy?
Who are the ethnocentric bigots?
Who should be invited by BNI because of hate speech?

The P(NDC) gov't has failed in leadership and governance and Ghanaians don't have any confidence in the Mahama-led NDC gov't to address the socio-economic transformation of this country. Ending 2016, the P(NDC)military/political grouping would have spent a mind-blowing 27years or close to three(3)long decades in the administrative governance of this country. And for the almost 3 decades of P(NDC)governance in this country, what has Ghana got to show for it?
Even with the advent of oil and gas revenue from our newly found commercial hydrocarbon resources, this is when the country is decelerating and plunging deeply into the doldrums on the back of mismanagement, incompetence and plain looting, whilst the NDC gov't blames imaginary enemies, imperialists, dwarves, etc, etc and attempts to stir ethnocentric and tribalistic strife in the country whilst pillaging the country into the depths and laughing all the way to the bank.
Ghanaians are saying the Mahama-led NDC gov't has failed and cannot deliver and are very resolute to fire this Mahama-led NDC gov't at the ballot box in 2016 massively. Enough is enough.
The level of mismanagement, incompetence and looting cannot in anyway advance Ghana's collective efforts for socio-economic transformation and the Mahama-led NDC gov't needs to go. Ghana deserves the best.

All the ministers who shared money stolen from Gyeeda, Sada, Subah, RLG, Isofoton, Waterville, NHIS scam, National Service Payment Scam etc. Ghana is bleeding all because NDC is a thief and must be burnt to ashes. Until that day, all is not well and can never be...
The most important issue at this stage is the economy but there is no lack of skeptics that Ghana is doomed because of NDC criminality. This is what they’ve done. NDC is a criminal organization.
1. They tightfistedly and criminally indulged in fake judgment debt payments to Cp, Waterville, Isofoton, Africa auto ltd, cronies, etc etc
2. 2. Asiedu nketia bloated his blocks prices and was the sole supplier of blocks for the bui dam. He claimed foolishly that his blocks were quality ones…and ndc also foolishly accepted this criminality by him.
3. 3. Ablakwah okudzeto was lobbying Martin Amidu to pay out fake judgment debts to cronies which the good old martin Amidu flatly refused.
4. 4. Ablakwah okudzeto even lobbied for Africa auto ltd to be paid 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS FAKE JUDGMENT DEBTS.
5. 6. Six Classroom Blocks Costing 80,000.00 Ghc Under Kufforu Is Now Costing 400,000.00 Ghc Under John Mahama And Ndc
6. 5. John Mahama Overspent The 2012 Budget By 4.4 Billion Dollars Just To Win Elections
7. 8. Sada, Gyeeda, Subah, Rlg-Zoomlion-Ndc Govt Collusion To Dupe Ghana.
Wherever NDC is found, there is corruption, stealing, destruction and or killing of innocent humans. NDC came first to kill Ghanaians. For instance, they killed high court judges for no reason; including Justice Koranteng Addow a nursing mother, and two other high court judges among thousands of innocent civilians, burnt them to ashes. NDC came to destroy all the good policies instituted by NPP including, School Feeding Program, Free Maternal Care, National Insurance Scheme, District Assembly Common Fund and the Metro Mass Transportation system. They have managed to destroy all of these programs. How callous could they be than this? And finally they have stolen all assets belonging to Ghana, selling all to themselves as beneficiaries. They have stolen Ghana's bulky money in the treasury and last but not the least; they have created Gyeeda, Woyome, Sada, Subah, Merchant Bank, all in the name of judgment debt but rather criminally sharing the monies among themselves. How dare you? I mean how cruel are you to behave like this? NDC is typical in stealing, killing and destroying just as Satan the devil.

This is a good call in the right direction. His Excellency the President John Mahama couldn't have put it any better and that is the hallmark of a good leader (others may think otherwise as they're entitled to their own opinions). Ghana can never develop until we put away our differences, put up a high sense of responsible characters and give off our best.

Long live Ghana, the President John Mahama and our heritage!
