The only language this government understands is strike and demonstration so Ghanaians should be ready to do just that for the government to know that we are serious in this country.

KWAKU, WHY DO YOU CALL THE LABOR UNION, SOME YOUR FATHERS, MOTHERS, BROTHERS,SISTERS AND FRIENDS FOOLS, LABOR IS AGITATING FOR TARIFFS DECREASES NOT BECAUSE OF NANA ADDO DANKWAH AKUFUO ADDO AND THE NPP, LABOR COMPRISES OF BOTH MEMBERS OF THE NDC, NPP, CPP, PNC,ETC, THEIR STRIKE HAS NO POLITICAL COLOURING PLEASE, SO DON'T INSULT THEM. YOU WANT NANA ADDO TO COME TO POWER WITHOUT TELLING US WHAT HE IS GOING TO OFFER IN REPLACEMENT TO THE NDC POLICIES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE? FOOLS, LET NANA ADDO WORK FOR HIS OWN POWER, HE SHOULD TELL US WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO, THIS YEAR'S ELECTION WILL NOT ONLY BE ON THE ISSUES OF CORRUPTION, HARDSHIPS, GITMO ETC, IT WILL ALSO BE ON WHO TO ENTRUST THE DESTINY OF THIS COUNTRY UNTO TO LEAD US. TELL NANA ADDO THAT HE IS FAILING PEOPLE LIKE YOU WITH WHAT HE IS DOING AND IS HAPPENING IN THE NPP, HE WILL BE FIGHTING THE NDC, WHILST KICKING OFF THOSE HE HAS SUSPENDED NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NDC AGENTS BUT THAT NANA ADDO CANNOT CURTAIL THEIR POLITICAL AMBITIONS JUST LIKE THAT, THEY WILL RATHER WANT TO SEE HIM RETIRED, FOR THEM GET BACK THE PARTY AND REBUILD AGAIN AS PRES. KUFFOUR LEFT IT, PEACE, AND ATTRACTIVE.

Believe me the GOVT will request for more time come Tuesday. Their plan is to push any reduction near the election time to declare Ghanaians that it is a listening Govt., but it lies bad. Ghanaians are better briefed than before and will vote the incompetent Mahama and it Regime out come November seventh.

We sacrifice for good results, not sacrificing to end up big in somebody's pocket to enjoy while the sacrificial lamb suffers , that's nonsense. Tell your government to sacrifice also by cutting down on their expenditure and reducing their salaries. This president who is deceiving himself of a second term forgets he back dated his pay to 3 years when he assumed office in 2012 so if he is now going for his 2nd term why did he back date his pay for what and how? Why is he not refunding that money for compassion sake to help develope the country so we can take him serious? NDC, see everything different in their lens, I don't understand their thinking and logic but little things that people do to hurt others are their down fall. Whether john mahama and his ndc like it or not THEY WILL GO, their time is up. Everything that has a beginning has an end ndc never thought their end will come but alas here we are to see their back never again to come back with a NEW slogan, new ndc, reformed ndc, changed ndc, better ndc etc it is going down the pit with satan to come back after 1000 years to face God's judgement. Never again in the history of our country shall we ever entertain this bunch of crooks, thieves, criminals in our politics.

We all know that some of our leaders are not sincere and sometimes go behind their subordinates to receive goodies from the government. I advice Kofi Asamoah not to behave that way.

Who is Oldpana whose evil plans never worked? You see how useless and stupid you people are? Who told you to steal from the state coffers to make this country poor? Did your so called oldpana advised you to steal? Now president Buhari is collecting every naira Goodluck Jonathan and his government and functionaries stole to hide in Dubai which your John Mahama and co have also done exactly, thank God the royal family have published their names and have released them and agreed to give back those monies to Nigeria for development. Nigerian students are going to benefit from that money by free science and technology education and I bet you this will happen in Ghana, ndc has nowhere to hide under the sun and on this planet. They will regret they were even born.

The reason why Ghanaian leaders totally incompetent and completely corrupt take Ghanaians for granted, is the fact that, the masses are not insistent enough.
The citizens are not aggressive enough in their legitimate, righteous and principled demands for a change in the status quo.
There is no way civil disobedience, strikes, demonstrations, etc, etc should be suspended on the righteous and proper path in demanding CHANGE. With a hard of hearing govt lacking any ability to govern and bankrupting the country into the absolute abyss in a very rapid manner, suspension of strike actions in lieu of some so called negotiations is not what you would want to do, when the iron is red hot.
Instead of labour and Ghanaians suspending the planned strike actions, the incompetent and corrupt govt thieving the country into hell, should rather be suspending and abolishing those actions that necessitated the planned and rolled out civil defiance, forever, never to be entertained in this country again, ever.
That is results-oriented activism. That is purposeful and results-driven and results-demanding citizen engagement for right and proper CHANGE.
There should be no suspension of the planned strike actions across every nook and cranny of this country, until this specter of nonsense-ness in the governance of this country is curtailed. The strike actions must resume aggressively for CHANGE.
