Two guys were picked up by the cops for selling drugs and appeared in court before the judge. The judge said:

You seem like nice young men, and I'd like to give you a second chance rather than jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try to show others the evils of drug use and persuade them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you back in court Monday."

Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the first one:

"How did you do over the weekend?"
"Well, your honour, I persuaded 10 people to give up drugs forever."
"10 people? That's wonderful. What did you tell them?"

"I used a diagram, your honour. I drew two circles like this: O o and told them this (the big circle) is your brain before drugs and this (small circle) is your brain after drugs."
"That's admirable," said the judge. "And you, how did you do?" (to the 2nd guy)

"Well, your honour, I persuaded 50 people to give up drugs forever."
"50 people! That's amazing! How did you manage to do that!"
"Well, I used the same two circles. I pointed to the small circle and told them, 'This is your asshole before prison...."

Dessie, the problem is that institutions run by blacks don't work. Those put in charge abuse their positions to amass wealth so they collect money and look the other way. In some cases it is they who commit the crime.

Dessie, do you remember the 77 parcels of seized cocaine, each weighing 20 kilos, got missing from the exhibits room on the fifth floor of the National Police HQ? And this room had CCTV cameras and up to date the case has not seen the light of day! But shockingly govt after govt had just decided to ignore it.

So how can your suggestion ever solve the problem?

Aponkye, dont mind them. They should start with the president, and ask him what happened at the presidential lounge in Kotoka airport. IDIOTS.

The best fight against drugs is for people never to vote for NPP because that is the party that support the drug trade. Currently, the leading financiers of Nana Addo are the drug barons. Nana's close aides are drug barons and many high ranking national executives of NPP are the kingpins of the drug trade. So if drug barons support a party to come to power, what will happen next?

In the NPP presidential primaries 7 drug barons contributed GHS600,000 for Nana to bribe the delegates for victory.

Fellow citizens, let's fear NPP more than HIV & Ebola combined.

Illicit drug bill. Please Ghana follow the rest of the world, separate "hard drugs" (Cocaine, Speed, Extacy, Heroin) from "soft drugs" (wee, Marihuana) concentrate all efforts on eradication hard drugs and free use and (taxed) cultivation of soft drugs.
Part of the jails of convicted soft drugs felons can be released and it would ease Nacob's job.
Besides which police officer will enforce toughening on soft drugs, half of the young ones smoke wee themselves.

Akasi Sarpong must go. He's using nacob to further his education to the detriment the performance of the institution. His mode of administration is poor and dictatorial. He's made all activities to come to a standstill through his de facto staff officer who has taken over virtually all duties of key responsible officers. He holds a service passport and transfers people if he notice to have a problem with you. Due this dictatorship by yaw Sarpong has led to the resignation of two of the boards long serving and hardworking top officers who are unhappy with this challenge. It's time the president must sit up and look at nacob with close eyes. His government promised to ensure to fight against the drug war but it seems the ndc government is losing the fight since its fails to ensure that nacob is commissioned will serve as a campaign tool for npp.

That Michael guy who parade himself as staff officer at nacob and who holds a service passport even though none of the two deputy executive secretaries don't have is a problem. Yes Akrasi is a disaster he uses valuable time to go to school and come to work at 5pm. In fact I hear he's made all work cumbersome and one way according to my wife who have been working there for a long time and due to that mi heals selfish have transferred her far away from me. God forgive you micheal for doing that we know your time will soon come and you will be miserable and if don't know ask those who served in the capacity.

I wonder why the president is still keeping that yaw Akrasi Sarpong who knows nothing about administration and has left it into the hands of a small boy who also has take due advantage of intimidating other staff who will personally query officers for no reason at all whiles his boss is not aware. How can an aide transfer and facilitate the dismal of innocent officers who have done nothing wrong because he has a beef with them. President mahama if u want to win the 2016 election then I advise u to sit up and change Akrasi Sarpong and bring a committed and fair minded person since that man is a part of your downfall next year. God bless Ghana.

If it's true that Akrasi Sarpong's aide holds a service passport then it must be immediately taken away from him. Since it is wrong for him to have it. It sis meant for directiors, top mangers of government agencies and not a common aide of the boss. This is clearly an abuse of office and must be stopped. Meanwhile mahama must direct all attention to nacob and ensure that it is well structured and autonomous before he starts his 2016 campaign since it was one of president mills' promise. This will help him win massively if he's able to do that.

How can NDC fight drug trade when their party people are arrested they are always set free what happened to the NDC youth organizer who was arrested at the airport two months ago?

This bill has been wasting time for far too long and it's time president mahama call for its to be brought before parliament and clean up the mess in that institution. Akrasi in my opinion must be sacked immediately and bring on a competent man. I am a worried ndc man and think Akrasi is not helping the party at all. I learnt he's in the law school and will be retiring Soon.

Lets start by asking Mahama how the presidential lounge in Kotoka international airport was transformed into a cocaine trafficking hub. IDIOTS. How many people have been jailed so far??? You wonder why Ghana diplomatic passports is now a piece of rubbish item. Hold your leaders accountable and stop the talk. These useless talk has been going on over 30 years. Idiots. How on earth can the presidential lounge be used as a drug trafficking hub?? Yet you want me to respect my government. Idiots.

Why do you think an author should give out the real name? So that you will victimise the person abiii?? Stupid boy you are again @ yogi, you think you are the only sacrosanct man in nacob. Prosperity will judge you and I say this you can take it or leave it, stop throwing your weights about as if nacob belongs to you. Akrasi will soon go and we will leave to see how you will coop with those you have stepped on their toes. This is the real advice am giving you, once again stop your bullying behaviour and treat your staff as professionals since you know nothing so humble yourself and God will lift you high. Your downfall is just around the corner and this is a wake up call to you. From a concerned and love one from nacob.
