How can they blame anyone for their own folly? Commonsense should have told them the first thing you do in instances like this is to get a venue, how can they think they will converge a fuel station with naked flames of candle? That should let them know how complex it is to solve problems, its not like sitting in front of a laptop or tweet with your phone.

MAHAMA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE AN AFRICAN MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM AND HIS USELESS NDC OUT IN 2016. 26 YEARS OF USELESS RULE IS ENOUGH. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE.

Instead of managing the entire country Mahama prefers to be a technician to fix one broken part, one problem. And till now he cannot fin the spanners so we continue to suffer dumsor.

OK SO IT'S NOT ABOUT DUMSOR. IT'S ALL ABOUT MAHAMA. MUST BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELVES. YOU CAN'T EVEN ORGANISE A VIGIL WITHOUT ASKING GOVT FOR 'HELP'.WE ONLY SEE OTHERS' WEAKNESSES, NOT OURS. WE'RE QUICK TO PUNCH HOLES IN OTHER PEOPLE EFFORTS TO CHANG SITUATIONS. I SINCERELY HOPE THERE WILL BE NO DUMSOR AFTER THE VIGIL BUT THAT'S WOULDN'T BE THE CASE. WILL IT TAKE SOME TENSION FROM SOME PEOPLE? YES. SO GO ON.
WE ARE ALL BECOMING A BUNCH OF LOOSERS.

The lawyer representing this group has failed them. First, you came out with the University of Ghana as the venue and the authorities denied you the use of their facility, that should tell you that you cannot use anybody's facility without first getting permission.

You then announced a second venue making the same mistake without getting permission to use that facility.

Now a good cause has become a joke but Yvonne, Sarkodie, Lydia and others should not be discouraged. They have already shined light on the dumsor menace.

"This Ndc government has started on the path to dictatorship but the citizens of Ghana will not fall prey again to the era of the first republic and Rawlings murderous pndc days."

Sarpong, the Mahama-led NDC government has no business practicing dictatorship because we uphold and cherish in high esteem the dictate of our constitution as enshrined. So, even if Mahama should try, he will fail miserable before the majority of his own party folks.

Yet again, the government is not in any attempt to prevent or sabotage anyone from speaking up his or her mind out there as the constitution once again stipulates. We are in a democracy and not some Nkrumahism or Buga-Buga military rule any longer. A lot of insults is being heaped on Mahama daily, yet I don't see anybody being bullied or going to prison for that or do you?

Now, Yvonne, Sarkodie and the rest have plenty of places to vigil out there so-called #dumsormuststop, why all the nonsense? Even a phone call away to Kennedy Agyapong and many others could have saved them all these brouhaha of lies over some government calculative sabotage. We are no more political babies, people!

Obviously at the door step of your government. Why are they underground sabotaging them? What are you afraid of if this dumsor is not because of your negligence? Why is the president not coming out to conderm all the insults on these ladies celebrities? Why is he hiding behind some people to rain insults on legitimate criticism? DusTY this country is not Russian colony we are British colony practising democracy which gives everybody the edge to say his or her opinion so it is absolutely wrong for some ndc members to work behind the scenes against this noble cause unless ndc is able to come out to declare this nation a communist state people will come out to express their grievances and frustrations. NDC, can take democracy of accommodation or leave it we are not going back for silence. Come 2016 Ghana will prevail.

This so called lawyer is really making a big fool of himself he he thinks he is making sense.
It is just a pity that people who one think can think are the most stupid people amongest us and they are also those we all think have got the best of education in the country.
If these fool can think of what they wanted all of us to think they are something good how can ' t they do the right thing for us to know they are smart people really.
You see , Yevonne and co plus this foolish lawyer as an advicer shows how it is not easy to sit on the fence to think that as a nation we can solve this prombel like eating fufu in Kumasi.
This is what those thinking like these fools must know that , when a farmer grows casava and the rain fails it is not easy to get anything at havest time.
We as a nation has failed to upgrade the system for a long time, and we must all wait for the right thing to be done than pointing fingers at one person . any body who thinks as these fools and thier follweres must start to think again abd stop this blame thing.
This problem is not as easy as eating FUFU in Kumasi.

They love darkness more than light because it's under the cover of darkness that their wicked, evil and immoral deeds are performed. The dumsor has lingered for far too long because darkness cannot chase out darkness. The NDC has the capacity to chase out dumsor but they're more comfortable operating under the cover of darkness. That's their natural terrain.

Yes that's why npp will lose again. You cannot allow non party strategists to do your campaigning for you whilst you inflight. You campaign is not streamlined but full of confusion because anyone without the game plan is steering it.

I mean npp knows they did not put up an power plants producing power so they are part of the shortage of power since the power demand rate is going up by 12%.

So why join this vigil? NPP thinks politics is some easy game huh. JM has three major power plants aggressively being built and if he finishes dumso will go away. What do you think his campaign will say against those that did not put up energy plants?

Why has politics made some intellectuals to lose their minds? Did the government officials sabotaged the minds of the organisers foolishly to leap before looking? How can you announce the use of somebody's property without asking the person first whether it is available or not? And a whole lawyer by sheer cheap popularity accusing individuals of sabotage. This guy must be ashamed of himself and retract his statement. Even if these opposition stooges overeat, they will blame government. Why can't we as intellectuals use our heads a bit? But allow politics to destroy the minds of some intellectuals? With all these noise-making, how many investors has these block-heads brought to the country to help increase the energy? Simple organization of an event has become a problem among the so-called NPP backed fake celebrities. Who in Ghana does not know the power goes on and off some days They want to have access to their girlfriends and boyfriends by using a vigil as a gateway Shame on you all.

What did the police see before giving them the permit to go ahead with the vigil? Papa police next cross check for documented evidence before issuing out permits of that kind. This so called celebrities were just going to kill innocent Ghanaians and destroy properties in the name of vigil. A celebrity you are, you can't even organize a simple event. Ole wolo(dumb)

“STOP DUMSOR, not OUR VIGIL,” Mahama/NDC should take their 'dum' and return our 'sor'... This is all Ghanaians are pushing for.

You want to have a vigil? Reflect on the timing and ensure you dont have a conflict with Ga state. Next secure a place before you even talked to the Police. The Police were stupid to grant permission without being sure of the security implications of the venue.
How can you have a candle light vigil in a gas station? These are the idiots insulting the President? Fools can handle this freedom of expression !!!!

Leave the Ga,s alone and their tradition.This so called celebrities with names that doesnt even sound Ghanaian are squabbling to achieve nothing but media slur defying GA Tradition and culture to make noise for their own political gains. Homowo festival has been going on for time ever since. This is the man Kofi Wayo who is aspiring to become a president of GHANA going on to criticise the GA,s and their tradition saying instead of supporting the demonstration GA,s are thinking of food. Would this man make a reliable President. GA,S just wants to be who they are, call them primitive or whatever they dont involve themselves in in your scramble for fruitless leadership. Take your troubles elsewhere and not in the heartland of the GA,S. If you go to rome do as the Romans do or leave, is that not simple.I really feel sorry for this so called fake lawyer with no proper credentials. This is what happened when you fail to appreciate a GOD sent leader like Kwame Nkrumah who sacrifice and work tireless in leading Ghana through to international Stardom, Akosombo Dam, Tema Harbour, University of Ghana, Cape Coast and Science and technology, the construction of Tema also know as Small London, Tema Motor way, Since them what other most tangible asset has been achieved, nothing but jealousy and malicious criticism. Its about time Ghana put its head together and look for a charismatic leaders to make a difference as it used to be in the Nkrumah,s Era.

Why did the Ga Traditional Council choose to do the dirty works of the government by getting into the fray in the fist place. Did they not know Legon lands the Airport, Tetteh Quarshie areas, where the event was going to take place, do not fall under their jurisdiction? If anyone has shown disrespect for Ga tradition I am sorry to say it is the Ga elders who were most probably deceived to attempt to stop the vigil by the Celebrities. I had wished the Ga Traditional Council were in place in 2012, when late President Mills was buried at Osu during the celebration of Homomwo. Is is not considered a taboo to bury the dead during such festival period?

Use the occasion to educate Ghanaians of power conservation since that will help.

The dumso issue is a systemic issue that has peaked in the JM era due to lack of building power projects in the past 12 years though the power demand ratio is 12%.

The past governments have not managed power growth well and the growth has caught up with us. There are three projects ongoing that can produce 450MW but they are allowing to be done by end of 2015 according to project plan.

JM administration must educate Ghanaians on the power problem and stop the arrogance. It is the ignorance of Ghanaians is what is causing all the confusion
