Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE)...
Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”, Greenstreet shouted when he delivered his party’s solidarity message to the NDC at the congress at the Baba Yara Stadium in the Ashanti regional Captial, Kumasi – stronghold of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

The wheelchair-bound Politicians has been called names and criticised by leaders and supporters of the NDC after his bluntness. While Majority Leader Alban Bagbin has said he believed Greenstreet was possessed by some demons, which caused him to be “so emotional”, presidential staffer Sam George wrote on his Facebook wall that: “Ivor Greenstreet apparently needs elevation to see the Better Ghana.”

However, Nkrumah said Greenstreet’s message was crafted by the CPP to capture the mood and mind of the entire country.

Note that he who insults/attacks a particular religious leader invites same to be done to his leader. That's why no good Muslim would make any adverse comments about any religious leader no matter the provocation.

which prove do you have to say that Mahama has impregnated young girl. He is a father and knows how it feels when a young girl is given out for marriage imagine who this young girl could have been when given a proper education. it is our responsibility to see to it that this act among our communities is stopped. This way our young girls can have a bright future. This initiatives implemented by the NDC led by President Mahama is a laudable one and must be respected to save our young girls.

If we sit down and allow history to repeat itself then we aint going any good to our motherland. Our motherland Ghana is transforming to be a better place for us and our generation. We dont want this social canker to eat into our generation so lets all come together and say No to child Marriage. Pointing figures to a mistake committed by an MP wont solve the issue but putting what happened behind us and facing the reality ahead of us. That is the vision of the NDC and Dr Nkrumah

Common sense, this is a way advertising prostitution. Only the wise will understand. You can have sex with her illegally but you cant have sex or marry her legally. How many of the young girls are there without boy friends. What is wrong with some seeking for your hand in marriage and take care of you.

Muntaka on my mind. He married a small girl at age 16, and yet he is a law maker.
Taking advantage of the poverty of his people

It was under the leadership of the NDC, this laudable initiatives was launched to save me and you from the riot of the wicked men who take advantages of young girls. It is time we all come together and No to such act of these wicked men who thinks marriage is all about pleasure and satisfaction. At least even you will marry this girls, grant them the opportunity to complete their education whiles with their parent then marry them after they have achieved their goals in life; that way the young girls can have trust in you, the man. No more Child Marriage

An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.
Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the of the Ferrari and enters the house.
He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'l;l take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life." "Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, a beach house, two retail stores, a townhouse, a beachfront villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"
At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her again.

What is the difference between what this man is saying and presidents, ministers and MPs who go about chasing and impregnating teenagers who are good enough to be their grand children. There is too much hypocrisy espercially when we very very very senior leaders in this country who befriend, impregnate and buy houses for girls as old as their children yet give the impression of holier than thou. HE WHO FEELS IT LET HIM WEAR IT.
