AUTHOR: AKOSUA------A naturally resourced small country like Ghana is owing 100 billion dollars with bad roads dumsor and people drinking from rivers and streams and they are happy. Tekper and those happy people must be silly indeed. When can you pay one hundred billion dollars and progress as s country. When the borrowed monies are stolen by mahama and thieves. Just last week DVLA BOSS stole 6.9 million dollars for a project costing 3.6 million dollars and instead of collecting those monies tekper continues borrowing more and more and fools are happy. Where has reasoning gone to from Ghana. You see poverty clearly on the faces of Ghanaians and a small batch of idiots are misleading the people. Ghanaians wake up. NDC HAS NO FUTURE FOR TGE COUNTRY

We have on several occasions stressed and elaborated the evil Islamic pepeni criminal mafia and the callousness of the hegemony ayigbe ndc. What the ayigbe and pepeni have in common are their intrinsic evil , wickedness devoid of humanity and hatred of the christian dominated Akan majority. Winston Churchill in 1899 then a journalist noted the most retrogressive ideology/religion know to humanity is Islam and now we see the day is coming when the whole world will have to ban that fake religion and go to war to wipe them out from the face of this earth. Islamisation has intensified over the last 3 decades with mosques now in every village or hamlet , we even have a a copy of haya Sofia the blue mosque in the center of Accra. We shall know the tree by its fruits and the fruits of islam are hate ,deceit, lies, murder , destruction, mistrust , hypocrisy and retrogression never fellowship or the the spread of goodwill to your fellow man. Mankind will sooner or later begin a proper war against Islam instead of this botched up miserable attempt to show off their new weapons and toys we see today. Look at our pepeni/ayigbe infested govt and know they can never develop or do anything right as their hearts are black and consumed with hate. Common sense and practical solutions can never be implemented . Chairman Mao Zedong said it doesnt matter if the cat is white or black as long as it catches mice . Our non effective govt can never learn from the experiences and lessons of those nations that have succeeded . The essence of development is the ability to mobilize and unify the majority of the positive elements in our society toward the progressive targets of acquiring technology for the industrialization , increase productivity , secure or create new markets . This is basically what the Japanese , Germans , Koreans , Chinese have done but our govt is focused more on deny the Akans freedom , discrimination and undermining every initiative or effort of the Akans . Fifi Kwetey was one minister in charge of economic planning and development but not once did he open his mouth to outline a strategy or encourage investments in key sectors rather all we heard was propaganda bullshit. . It rotten and stinks to high heaven that true Akan statesmen and intellectuals of proven achievement such as Kofi Annan or Sam Jonah have distanced themselves . Any Akan who has made the naive mistake of joining has been hounded like a dog like Mills , or been setup to take a fall or ended up being falsely accused. Yes there is no party politics rather tribalism and an ongoing undeclared war against Christians , Akans and any who dare think with a free mind. Only a fool believes that a regime born in the blood of the innocent will end with the ballot box , it can only end in war. Our election is going to be rigged with the help of the treacherous traitor Nzema EC and the violence that follows will be used as another opportunity to kill more Akan intellectuals or potential leaders .The revenue of the govt is over 80% used to pay wages that are on the level of pocket money for a teenager anywhere else in the world but still they refuse to do what is necessary to raise the standard of our people because they believe the people weakened by poverty also loose the will to fight back against oppression and injustice , a collective Stockholm syndrome where the victims become willing perpetrators of crimes together with their captors . A miserable state of affairs indeed . As usual these pepeni /ayigbe criminals and their satelite allies such as the some Gas , Adas etc will try to insult me instead of challenging the truths , lately i laugh since they have progressed from calling me a madman , vulgarities against my ancestors or parents to openly calling me NDC . Today in Ghana the biggest insult is to call someone NDC not so long ago we had to whisper we were Akan today is booming from the highest levels and we are proud. A word to the NDC beware of the wrath and fury of a patient man as we Akans are patient until the time is right

I know now that Mahama is really dumb and don't understand what Ghanaians saw in this thing to vote for him.

Mop left office with 8.9 billion debt which at that time was equal to $5.9 billion. The external part of this debt was $3.0 billion dollars. Even let's assume all the 3 billion dollars was borrowed by Npp, 3 billion is not 41% of 14 billion. Who wrote this hortatory nonsense for the dumb President to deliver?

Now Ghana is in debt to the tune of more than $25 billion dollars and you Mahama was under investigation by Mills administration for corruption. Is that why Mills was murdered?

Actually who wrote this trash for the dumb President to read? There is no head or tail to this crap. Does the dumb President even understand his own explanation for this debt?

The simple truth is that, you have saddled the country with more than 20 billion dollars in debt in just seven years.

This dumb President didn't even know that the internal loans he has taken, more than $10 billion did not go through Parliament and the dummy accused Minority in Parliament as having approved those debts.

Mahama and his quack socialists have again failed to improve the economy despite the unprecedented high oil revenues, high commodity prices and more than 37 billion dollars borrowed so far to land the country in another HIPC. We wonder how they would account for all these amounts because; the so-called development projects and services don't match the huge amounts received by the NDC administration. On top of that, Ghanaians are going through unprecedented hardship comparable only to the period of PNDC's Rawlings Chain because of Mahatma's incompetence and corruption.

I just can't understand why Ghanaians allowed this thief and murderer to become president of ghana. And he is still stealing with alacrity. Where did he get the $40m dollars to buy shares in a hotel in Dubai? And owns fleet of Cargo ships operating in South east Asia, we are told.
And the wife owns more than hundred fuel tanker trucks. Where did they get the money.
Tell John Mahama to go on demonising the Ashantis in particular and the Akans in general. For a whole president to tell his supporters in the Volta region that the Ashantis are alleging that the Voltarians are not Ghanaians, and that is why the NPP is calling for a new voters register is sheer nonesense but stupidity. Is it the Ashantis who are calling for a new voters register or political parties.
Sometimes I wonder why people of sane mind tag john Mahama as communication expert. The fact that someone undergo studies in Communication studies does not make the person an expert.
I can vouch that Asiedu Nketiah communicates more sensibly than john Mahama. John Mahama does not communicate well as a president.He talks like president of the NDC, and not as president of Ghana. Every nonesense coming out of his mouth is calculated to insult the Ashantis, and to divide the country on tribal lines.
This is unacceptable, and unpresidential and uncouth.Somebody close to him must educate him to desist from this barbaric tendencies, and should never take the Ashantis for granted. John Maham is gradually leading this country to a frantricidal war in 2016, and he must watch it.

Someone must come out and straighten things out for us, because our heads are swirling badly!
We are being made to believe that the Mills' government inherited GHC9.5 billion debt, which shot up to GHC33 million in 2012, which has shot up again to GHC93 as at now. At the same time, we are also being made to believe that Kuffuor's governmen alone was responsible for 41% of our total debts. But Kufuor's government contributed to the total of GHC9.5 billion debt as at 2008 when President Mills took over. So how could part of 9.5 be as large as 41% of a total of 93, when even the whole of 9.5 is only 10% of 93? Can Bawumiah and others please come to our aid?

If you mention the debt in Ghana cedis, you will be confused because the value of our cedi has significantly varied from 2008 to 2015. Even though external debts were taken in dollars, the NPP prefers to mention them in Ghana cedis hoping to hoodwink us all.
In 2008, one Ghana cedi was almost equal to the US dollar so Ghana's debt of GHC9.5 billion, was almost US$9.5 billion. Presently, it takes about GHC4.00 to get US$1.00 so a debt of US$14 billion as the President mentioned, is about GHC56 billion - this is the total external debt which does not include internal debts which were taken in Ghana cedis. What the President meant was that, 41% of the current debt of US$14 billion which is US$5.74 billion was contracted by the NPP.

So if an elderly person is a thief acting stupidly we can't say it right, Nigerian can shut up and rule by criminals and idiots but Ghanaians will speak out against those people

How did john Mahama arrive at his dubious calCulation
that 42% of our current debt was incurred by Kufour administration. This palpable lies was for the consumption of the ignorant ndc supporters in the Volta region.
I hope Dr. Bawumia would rebutt this claim, and teach john Mahama further lessons on basic economics.
