Why has Nana Addo and Bawumia scared all investors away as if there will be mayhem in our dear country when all indicators were good for our economic growth? Which investor will go ahead to invest in a country where they perceived there will be war or turbulent? Which investors in their right sense of mind will invest in Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq with the view of making profit at the current circumstances in these countries?
Today Nana Addo and Bawumia are here telling Ghanaians that the economy is fragile and people are suffering together with their false prophets whose stomach are their benchmark and will not stop at anything than to cause much agitation in the country when in actual fact they are the cause of all these turbulence. (Professors: Martey, Adei, Prempeh and Dr Mensa Otabil, Bishop Ayensu and Bosomtwi) You claim to be learned people but are you really discernible? Search within you and do the right things by right processes. That’s piece for you.

We are where we are now because of the ill behaviour of Nana Addo and his friends who have pledged “all die be die” and will careless about anything good for the people of the country until he is made president. We have enjoyed tremendous peace and freedom, steady economic growth, unprecedented single inflation digit for a very long period until Nana Addo lost an election, then markets started burning, workers are being influenced to strike on a least agitation not because they have not been paid but because of austerity measures which has hit every country every where.

The stupid daughter fuckers always mess our economy up anytime they assume power.

Rawlings plunged the country into hipc status and now this atopahene from Bole is doing the same.

When a country is being ruled by animals who sleep with their own daughters, this is the end result.

Did you hear Mahama saying that he will borrow through the roof and what are the implications to that? The fact that you have a credit card does not mean you should charge it without thinking twice.

Under this current government, there is no power to run businesses and you expect investors to come and use lanterns to do business? Where do you live anyway?

If a country borrows more than her resources these are some of the problems she faces.Ghana pays interest rates alone 54.8 %t in 2013 and 68% of our GDP in 2014 respectively.It means all the money for Ghana is gone on paying debt.What has the country borrowed the money for? If the money is borrowed for projects how comes we do not even have lights in the country.The pipes in the whole Ghana do not run as good drinking water for the public.These are basic life amenities and the government has failed Ghanaians on these basic stuff.May the government should come up and make sure the water and sewerage corporation of Ghana do their work properly by providing good drinking water for her public.It is so shameful that a country like Ghana do not have running water in our homes.

NDC government is sick in the head. How can you borrow more than your resources? Mahama is not a serious president. He is just there stealing our money. God have mercy on us.

CLAP for Mahama and his group of clowns who have taken Ghana to tatters. When a group of people who CANNOT manage their own homes are given the responsibility of managing a nation, the results cannot never be good. We all know these people, and how irresponsible they are, yet Ghanaians who claim to love their country, wants to see real development for their country, continue to make such huge mistakes in voting for these people. Until we change our 'i don't care' attitude, we will all suffer. Both the educated and uneducated, rich or poor, Ashanti or Ewe. We are in the soup together. GHANAIANS SHOULD LEARN TO LOVE GHANA!

Not managed. Yes, I am talking about the complacency of government officials which blinds them from seeing the real problems facing the country and finding workable solutions. You assess the case of the major of Accra and his dabbling in accolades at a time when the city is sinking under the weight of filth...best mayor for one of the dirtiest cities in the world...how does that sound! Also, uncontrolled government borrowing, proceeds of which disappears into thin air without accountability can never support development in this country. We are doomed for ever till attitudes change and corruption is totally eliminated from the public sector.

JOHN MAHAMA IS ONLY A DECORATION IN THE PRESIDENCY. THE MAN HAS NO CLUE HOW TO RUN A NATION. HE THINKS BEING PRESIDENT IS BEING SEEN TO USE AND ENJOY THE TRAPPINGS OF POWER. HE HAS NO VISION. ASK HIM WHERE HE WANTS TO SEE GHANA IN 20 YEARS AND HE HAS NO THOUGHTS OF THIS KIND ABOUT GHANA, EVEN FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. HE IS LURCHING FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS, WHICH ARE BUFFETING HIM LIKE A SHIP BEING TOSSED BY STRONG WINDS AND STORMS ON THE SEA. THE MAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HIS OWN OFFICE, LET ALONE WHAT HIS MINISTERS AND APPOINTEES ARE UP TO, HENCE THE INCOMPETENCE AND NEGATIVE RESULTS IN EVERYTHING THE HAPLESS NDC GOVERNMENT LAYS ITS HANDS ON. VOTE THESE NDC ROBBERS OUT IN 2016, ELSE GHANA IS DOOMED.
