Author:-.USMAN.....
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Simply put this country is under the leadership of his incompetent-in-chief JDM, that is the reason international community and majority of Ghanaians want a change.

I don't understand why Ghanaians blame only John Mahama for our woes and leave the very,very hopeless parliamentarians who are clueless, know nothing and lack critical thinking to debate untouched? I don't understand why we can't blame ourselves too for electing such MPs who even don't know what is good for the people who elected them to represent them.. I tell you they are the only people who could stop the nonsense going on in the country. THEY are the people who can advice, object, or remove the president if they really know what is expected of them, but ignorance and stomach politics has made them useless living but rotten human beings. The most stupid and foolish parliament in Ghana's history.

Solo,the minority can move for a vote of no confidence in the finance minister but they will need a majority vote to approve it and do you think those NDC dickheads will support it? I doubt.

Ghana is moving backwards, and Ghanains are coward! We sit down unconcerned for wicked governments to manipulate us. The fuel price increment is unjustifiable, now crude price at its lowest level since ages, its product shutting up in Ghana? The whole country should rise up against it! What is the opposition doing about it or they also support it! NDC use to preach they will offer the cheapest gas prices when they win elections and what is going on now! Ghana rise up and defend the country against oppressers!!! I stand up and say all Ghanains are coward including the Armed forces!!! Ghana go for a total demonstration and shutdown to reverse this. Nobody will fight for us but ourselves!!!

These parliamentarians are so stupid.if the minister told you it wouldn't be more than 5% why didn't you hand it started explicitly in the bill he presented. If you give someone a blank check and he cashes it for what ever amount he wants why blame him? This is what you get for a parliament full of illiterates. We miss the days of parliamentarians like J.H Mensah who kept the Rawlins and kuffour government on its toes and made them better.

As at this morning, crude oil prices are at an 11-year low at $34.76. So, where are the Ghanaian numbers coming from? Oh, and by the way, where is Ghana's quota of the ECOWAS crude oil going to? Sources have it that Mahama's sister is buying it from Nigeria and selling it on the international market. It's about time John Mahama is impeached.
