LIKE IT OR NOT, GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY CRIMINAL CARTELS, THE LEADERS OF WHICH ARE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT AND EX-PRESIDENTS OF THE TWO MAIN POLITICAL PARTIES, AND THE RELATIVES OF GHANA'S CURRENT AND PAST POLITICIANS.

GHANAIANS HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE SHACKLES OF THESE CRIMINAL CARTELS WHOSE PRIMARY AIM IS TO IMPOSE UNTOLD POVERTY, SUFFERING, DEPRIVATION AND FRUSTRATION AMONG THE VAST MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS WHO WILL, OUT OF FRUSTRATION AND GRINDING POVERTY, JUMP AT EVERY PITTANCE THROWN AT THEM FOR POLITICAL CAPITAL DURING ELECTIONS.

AFTER THE POLITICAL GAINS, TO HELL WITH THESE VERY FRUSTRATED AND DOWNTRODDEN DUMMY GHANAIAN VOTERS!

THAT'S WHAT GHANAIANS ARE WITNESSING NOW IN GHANA WITH WOYOME, BARTON ODURO, BETTY MOULD-IDDRISU AND THE MANY OTHERS INVOLVED IN FRAUDULENT JUDGMENT DEBTS, CREATE LOOT AND SHARE AND FRAUDULENT LOANS SCHEMES WALKING FREE IN GHANA AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND ALL IS OK.

HELL NO! ALL IS CERTAINLY NOT OK IN GHANA!!!

UNTIL THE DOWNTRODDEN GHANAIANS STAGE A BLOODY REVOLUTION TO EXTRICATE THEMSELVES FROM THESE EVIL ECONOMIC VAMPIRES CALLED "LEADERS" AND "HONORABLES" AND "EXCELLENCIES" MY FOOT, GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOOTED BY EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY POLITICIAN OR LEADER, AND THEY'LL ALL GO SCOT-FREE.

WHERE ARE WOYOME, DRAMANI MAHAMA, BETTY IDDRISU, BARTON ODURO, KUFUOR, KONADU AND THE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE CAUSED VARIOUS KINDS OF ECONOMIC CRIMES AGAINST GHANA?

THEY ARE ALL WALKING FREE, BEING MEMEBERS OF THOSE CRIMINAL CARTELS.

GHANA HAS A LOT TO LEARN FROM CHINA'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WHICH IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.

IN CHINA, IF YOU COMMIT AN ECONOMIC CRIME, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, YOU ARE DEAD, REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU ARE!

THAT'S WHY CHINA IS WHERE IT IS TODAY, WITH A LOT OF LIQUIDITY OR CASH TO DOLE OUT TO THE LIKES OF ASAMOAH GYAN IN THE REGION OF ONE MILLION BRITISH POUNDS STERLING A MONTH FOR JUST KICKING A FOOTBALL ON A SOCCER PITCH.

Pepeni fake president is a natural born liar who in order to sound on top of his case has only let the cat out of the bag of his incompetence and lack of knowledge. The cause of these economic woes is Mahama's tribalism, nepotism, incompetence , selfishness, corruption and insane desire to rule at all costs . Just as the the Mayans of south America killed their leaders and ate their brains so pepeni killed the ideologist of the ndc Atta Mills to sit on his throne, didnt matter that he had no clue of how to build or develop a nation . He then appointed his pepeni and intellectually inferior ministers so no one could challenge him or call him to order, what he desires the most is an authoritarian dictatorship so that's he secured obedience and loyalty at the expense of the constitution and the interests of the people. How many private sector investors have been rejected because they will or cant pay the bribes ? Without private capital govt borrowing only creates debt . He was not able to mobilize our last resource the diaspora to come and invest as when NDC came they made sure most of the business community incurred huge losses through abrogation of contracts , corruption and inflation of the cedi. First we had Kuffour who spent his 8 years of sophisticated corruption that made us loose control of our natural resources such as our gold and oil , then we had anther sorrow of an Ashanti minister of finance Duffuor whose was put there just to satisfy the balance of tribal politics but wrecked the economy by increasing govt borrowing and now advocated for hedging/gambling our oil , i wonder why they didn't first sell the golden stool or at least hedge it for the betterment of all of Ghana, no worries , when the war comes the stool will go for sure . Nkrumah allowed the primitive northerners and ewes to join Ghana in the hope that he could secure himself president for life with a dictatorship , had the USA allowed Mexico and all the other south American states to become part of their country they would never have developed as all that would have been their focus would be to rule even though they are not socially or intellectually ready to develop.Now its clear to all war is around the corner and elections may only turn out to be the spark that will bring about a fierce ethnic conflict leading to the breakup of the country as should have been over 100 years ago.

Throw out all Ghanaians and fill the land with Americans, after one year they will transform this country into "krabehwe" I tell you the problem is lack of proper education. The so called educated people in Ghana are not as intelligent as elementary students in America. They can't be honest, they are all thieves, wicked, unpatriotic, selfish, materialistic, superstitious etc. A man searches and find INSULIN, instead of marketing it and make billions of dollars, he gives it free to humanity- This is an educated man. Education must bring you closer to God. If you are corrupt it is because you are not well educated or less intelligent. If you are stealing votes knowing that it could throw the country into war, it is because you are not well educate or less intelligent. Look at the actions of some politicians in the Talensi by-election, do you think such politicians have anything good to offer the country? Why has Mahama not condemn the violence? Why would the people choose such an uneducated person to lead them? The hardships in the country today is the prove of his incompetence and yet some fools continue to keep him in office. If he was well educated like the Americans, he would resign because he would put the interest of the people ahead of his own.

Does Bature not realise that he is part of the problem per his warped journalism. Very very strange. Media has such a serious responsibility to the people it serves. Being candid is therefore critical. Bature, your incessant lies is a time bomb in that, it informs and entrenches the position of unsuspecting minds. You need to be sincere about the information you put out there. You may not like Nana Addo, that is fine, but please stop your print lies about him. You also have a critical duty to report accurately on issues as much as possible, without being swayed by your obvious biases.

Take a cue from Kweku Baako; invariably he backs his reports with concrete evidence.

You are a part of the problem ALHAJI. Ask yourself if the ideology or simply the interests pursued by your newspaper foster national unity or just protecting parochial interests of a particular power base. The lawlessness has its history. The new elite that emerged from that history cannot maintain their grip without violence. Yes one day soon Ghana will explode because of nepotism, tribalism, ethnicity, corruption, greed, and hopelessness. After that explosion there will be proper balance in society then we can have order.

You see, Zombis can't think and so we are finding our selves in this mess.
A day before the Talensi Election, this is what the police said: " Public Relations Officer of the Upper East Regional Police Command, ASP Thomas Agbenyo says the police in the region are ready to oversee the Talensi by-election scheduled for Tuesday, July 7.

He said everything needed for the elections – with regards to security – has been put in place to ensure that the elections are peaceful.

Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, ‘Dwaso Nsem’, ASP Agbenyo said “we are ready for everything” adding that officials of the various parties are pleased with developments so far.

He indicated that with the kind of planning that has gone into preparation for Tuesday’s elections, it was unlikely for any mishaps to occur during the polls."
The police went on to say "
The police has also covered the grounds, we are ready for tomorrow and we will ensure that everything goes on well, ASP Agbenyo said."
So now juxtapose this onto what happened on the day of election and will see how useless the Ghana Police Service is.

Political fanatism exists in all regions of Ghana, the question Ghanians need to ask is how come in the Northern half of Ghana fanatism most imes relatively walks hand in hand with violenent acts? My view is that in the Northern half of Ghana communal violence is a pervasive proble, relative to other regions in our dear Ghana.
My thinking then is that in that part of Ghana, indifferent of political fanatism, violence affairs, precedes all societal facets (chieftancy matters, inter/intra personal disputes, religious differences, politics etc). This brings me to my concern, considering what the minister of interior, a Northerner said about violence begetting violence.
My concern is, what are the bigwigs of Northern origin doing about the pervasive problem of communal violence in the Northern regions. This concern is important, more so considering at this time iin our national life we have a government relatively top heavy with politicians of Northern origin, are they sleeping on the watch? Or are oblivious to the truth?
For my Northern compatriots (and all Ghanaians), what happened in Talensi is not necessarily about political fanatism but another case of the pervasive communal habit of the region. I stand by my thoughts, and I am waiting on a response.

Sitting on what, bature? Come again. You have been using your rented press to propagate falsehood about NPP and have always supported ndc even in times ndc is destroying the nation. Your reportage is more than the bomb your are talking about. Why can't you directly condemn your ndc, the party for criminals. Amend your ways else your punishment will be superfluous.

Hey hey hey, some of you people are not objective at all. You are all party bias. I do not think my people understand what democracy is. They need to be taught. When politician buy their vote by giving them items so they can support n and vote for them, what do you expect. They are fighting for where they will get that little thing for the day. They should all be punished. Fingers should not be pointed and the blame game should stop. I think leaders should start educating their supporters. If any violence happen the parties should be charged heavy and the people who cause the trouble to be jailed with this in mind I think they will start to learn and understand the true meaning of democracy

Wherever Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo visits in Ghana, the aftermath is violence, if not murder. Simple. That is what you should have wrote. The Truth, and nothing but the truth.

If Democracy is all about electing people for their self - serving interests, then what we need is not Democracy. Institutions can't function well because of political influence.

You are right on the reason why such a madness going on,and the brain death politicians seems not to care about it, because of corrupt nature of how politics is done in the THIRD WORLD countries.Our understanding of "Democracy" is defferent from the white man.We see decocracy as an occasional spink in there one election after another.Neglecting the important part which is the rule of law.You can not have democracy where politics stealing from the people and plug the nation into absulote povety.what is happen in Ghana is not a democracy but oppression.
