Hahaha, What projects? Why can't he even name one project as an example in this article? He couldn't even finish 10% of the Eastern Corrider road, which was not even meant for Volta Region but for the North. Ho University looks like a poultry farm started by Atta Mills but he is taking credit for it. Anyway who cares, it's up to the people of Volta whether they will follow his ass or not.

Maybe you should come to Ghana and see for yourself rather than sitting in London talking about people been negative. When we pay such high tariffs and taxes we expect more than this. Orbiting around a keyboard indeed.....what are you yourself doing? Listen to the people on the ground and you will understand where some of us are coming from. To whom much is given much is expected. Considering our current debt levels combined with the high tariffs and taxes this is not what we expected to hear or see. The government is not doing us a favour ok! It is our taxes and natural resources. Assume you send hundred thousand pounds home to have a house built for you only to come and see a completed one room boys quarters as the value of you hundred thousand, I hope you will appreciate that.

Volta region has a big challenge indeed. What is the definition of massive by the writer? Putting up a rural area building and giving it a big name, constructing a 5.5 and 9.5 and 6 kilometer road and calling it big names is nothing comparing with the USD 91 billion dollars which accounts to 74% of GDP. Building a school block in my village without the appropriate facilities and qualified teachers whereby the children all fail and the lucky ones coming to the regional capitals and Accra for remedial at a more expense for me is bullshit. Look at the current state of the Atimpoku Hohoe, Jasikan to Nkwanta roads, Kpando roads, Ho to Aflao which used to be a first class roads. Hw many of the children of the poor Volta region people can now go to Nurses and Teacher Training colleges for example? What is the cost of electricity and the mahatma famous dumsor on the lives of the people? Volta and Central regions used to be the educated regions but now can they say that? The regions are becoming the vineyard for carpenters, masons and dog chain selIers in Accra. No wonder they will give t to the Lord forgetting that their mental entrenchment in the non performing NDC is the cause of their problems. The whole region is too satisfied with small mercies and they waste their God given lives on earth.Volta region must change their mentality and their voting style. NDC especially under mahama has nothing to offer them let alone the whole of the country. Change your mentality for a POSITIVE CHANGE. How many times can the people in the region be told the same thing over and over again?

I am sick and tired of the president focusing his attention on that region as if Voltarians are a special breed of Ghanaians who should be treated or given a top priority.

True, suddenly, the Volta region is receiving more political propoganda attention - not economic or development attention - than the other 9 regions. Evidently, Mahama's done nothing for the Volta region.
