NPP members will need his services badly to deliver poisonous snakes into the rooms of their enemies. Particularly, Nana will like the most poisonous ones to be sent into Afoko's bedroom.

What a fool! You think jobs are limited to sitting offices under the fan or AC and paid at the end of every month. The guy is doing business and turn round to lambast government. If you care to know, there is this guy who was the NPP MP for Nkwakaw or so who after his 'A' level went in soap making ('Azumah blow' aka don't touch) and today he owns hotels in ACCRA. This guy can develop his business to the amazement of all. I encourage him to continue. You NPP good-for-nothing man.

John Mahama must be impeached now!!

STUNNAD is calling on members of parliament as a matter of urgency to save Ghana from eminent collapse, by commencing the impeachment process of President John Dramani Mahama over what we tagged, 'gross misconduct.' When a naked man promises to offer shirt, then we must be careful. When the chief thief begins to cry that his subjects are stealing properties and monies, then the society is at the verge of collapsing. If President Mahama is now shouting of fighting corruption in his government, then Ghanaians should know that they (NDC) have 'finished the country'. Because the crying baby himself is the problem…..PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS MORE CORRUPT THAN ANY MEMBER OF HIS GOVERNMENT. We want to ask Mr. John Dramani, the youthful president, why the Office of Government Machinery (The office of the President), in 2012 spent in excess of GH¢600 million or ¢6 trillion above its approved budget? What did the office of the President spend this money on? We want to know why the Social Protection Programs (SPP) spent over GHC 700 million or ¢7 trillion? The nation needs answers why and how the Ministry of Youth and Sports last year spent over GH¢300 million above its budget. Is it also true that NADMO spent over GHC 300 million cedis just in the last quarter of 2012? Ghanaians are skeptical about President John Mahama's commitment to fight corruption. Indeed, two of the most controversial international transactions associated with this government, or any other government of the Republic for that matter, the $10 billion STX housing deal from Korea and the Embraer 190 Jet and the accompanying $17 million hangar from Brazil were both led by him in his capacity then as Vice President.
It has been alleged without any response from the NDC government, that functionaries of the NDC received at least US$ 1 million dollars in bribery payments from TAQA, the United Arab Emirates based majority shareholder of the Aboadze thermal plant. According to Peter Barker – Homek, the CEO of TAQA at the time “the authorization to triple its output was obtained by inflating the official price of the expansion works” and then paying part of the surplus to government officials. The late President Mills referred to the Armajaro cocoa smuggling case. As early as the second year of the Mills/Mahama administration, Vice-President John Dramani Mahama helped Armajaro to get back their suspended cocoa trading licence, even though the matter shocked the late President Mills and Ghana so much that it merited mention in a state of the nation address. The matter of British Foreign Office officials lobbying then Vice President John Mahama to drop the case raised serious questions in the UK. Yet Ghanaians have been denied an investigation of exactly what motivated the move against the collective interest of Ghanaians.
President John Dramani Mahama led the processes that committed Ghana to the purchase of the grossly bloated Embraer 190 Aircraft and hanger purchase. In 2008, the Armed Forces had negotiated to acquire a hangar at USD5m. Two years later, Vice President Mahama returns from Rio de Janeiro with a cost of USD 17m, a whopping difference of USD12m. We are told that an extra fuel tank on the Aircraft cost USD8m even as the staircase was said to be worth USD1m.
The NDC Government of President Mahama is yet to deny the categorical assertion by former Attorney-General Martin Amidu that President Mills agreed to an investigation of the then Vice President. We are told that under pressure, a three-man committee headed by Mr. Aboah never saw the light of day even though it had terms of reference drafted to investigate the inflated aircraft purchase.
In the same year 2010, Vice President Mahama secretly wrote to the Pierson Capital Group, prepared to commit Ghana to international loan exposures without the knowledge of President Mills. After vehemently denying the letter as a forgery and threatening an investigation by the CID, the Vice President's Office lamely admitted authorship but yet again without explanation about the then Vice President's motives. We are told for the months of October and November 2012 alone, that was two months to the elections, President John Mahama approved and oversaw the reckless dissipation of state funds to the tune of GHC 500 million (5 trillion old cedis). This amount was spent by President Mahama ostensibly on projects such as renovating his office, and for “special operation”. On “special operations” for example GH¢ 3 million (thirty billion old cedis) was released, and GH¢ 3,111,844.66 was paid as “allowances for staff of the Electoral Commission”. So we are not so surprise to watch Dr. Afari Gyan to state shamefully in Supreme Court that there is 'classical definition of over-voting'.
On October 1, 2012, the National Security Council Secretariat received a whopping GH¢ 4,452,450 on “goods and services”. Intriguingly, the request was made on the 1st of October 2012 and the same amount was released on the same day from Account number 2210106.
Similarly, on October, 12, 2012, GH¢ 100,000 (1 billion old cedis) was disbursed from Ghana's coffers for “payment of special allowances”. Fast forward to 21st November, 2012, another GH¢ 3, 000,000 (30 billion old cedis) was disbursed from account number 2111001 for again “special operations budget”. On the 29th of October, 2012 from account number 2210106, payment of GH¢ 1.5 million was made for “goods and services” but was diverted for the rehabilitation of the Mr. Mahama's office. Tactical Corruption!
There is a total failure of leadership, even as insecurity, unprecedented corruption, palpable impunity, massive unemployment and hunger has stalked the land. Corruption is all over the land: you can feel it, smell it, hear it, read it, watch it, and embrace it! President Mahama is a bad example to youth of the nation, he must be impeached.
According to the constitution of Ghana Article 69 talks about removal of president if he is found in accordance with the provision of this article (a) to have acted in willful violation of the oath of allegiance and the presidential oath set out in the Second Schedule to, or in willful violation of any other provision of, this Constitution; or (b) To have conducted himself in a manner- i. Which bring or likely to bring the high office of the president into disrepute ridicule or contempt ii. Prejudicial or inimical to the economy or the security of the state;
Here is the reason:
The scale and scope of stealing, looting, and fraud is riveting to the eyes. One can literally hear the screams of corruption in the banner headlines of the dailies. scandals relating to, SADA ASONGTABA, ISOFOTON, GYEEDA and SUBAH and the over a US$100 million oil revenue loss between 2011 and 2013 as reported by the Public Interest & Accountability Committee with total loss of Ghc5 billion under John Mahama government. This then is the MAHAMA record. Inappropriate use of funds and tender fraud, outright theft, gross extravagance and wastage, inappropriate expenditure etc, etc are sapping the economy and have created an artificial boom, as money that should have gone into infrastructure, maintenance, employment for the jobless, homes for the poor and numerous other fundamental structural elements are being used to buy state banks for family and friends.
The health services have collapsed completely, the country is not performing, the ship is sinking due to poor leadership. We urged all Ghanaians to drop petty sentiments “the hour has come for well wishers to save the ship of the nation from wreck under the leadership of the John Dramani Mahama." The country is broke because the NDC regime has emptied all the treasuries.

He should be stopped. Who knows how many of his "merchandise" has escaped from wherever he is breeding them? This is a big health threat to people who already have no access to any meaningful healthcare. I don't think our hospitals even have enough anti-snake serum to help anyone bitten by these snakes. He must be stopped right now and the police and AMA must go after him and ensure he gets out of this nonsense.

The trouble with the Ghana economy is not the doing of John Mahama. There are people who are intentionally misusing Ghana's resources to the detriment of the people of Ghana. There are, of course, those who work for the NDC government and there are a lot of people within the NPP who care less about the welfare of the Ghana's economy.

I can tell you that John Mahama, would want the economy to improve, but there are people at Ghana Ports Authority who are taking money as a bribe from many good people who want o clear their goods from the Tema habour. There are also people who took a lot of money to do contract work, and later to find out that the work was not done. Are you to blame John Mahama for this, too? The people who work for Ghana must be blamed for the poor economy. Leave John Mahama a lone, in my view.

As far back as in the 1970s, what this young man is doing was and still is a big business in Nigeria. I observed that when I worked there.

Here in Ghana, I know that only some folk from the North (not all of them) consume snakes, however with the influx of Chinese who consume EVERY God-damn stuff on the earth, he has a big customer base. Curently in Ghana, because of the Chinese; FROGS, AGAMA LIZARDS and stray DOGS have become threatened species.

As long as this young man had not killed humans to survive but snakes, we should allow him - perhaps ask him to develop a snake farm so that natural snakes may live and balance nature.

Ghanaians automatically equate the Snake with juju and so-called sika duro. In some places on this earth where people have brains and use them, snake venom is used to make drugs for preventing blood from clotting, used in treating some diseases, etc. Some places use the snake skin for handbags and shoes. snake meat is even eaten in some restaurants.

Most Ghanaian are lazy like I said MOST. They go to this fake universities and after graduation walk in town with crisply iron shirt and fake Chinese shoes like vulture approaching a dead meat. Don't want to get their hands dirty but to blame everyone for their joblessness. Either Akufo Addo, or Mahama, they will always complain. We need to shut down all those fake universities and make the system harder then only the brightest will get to go to school to become our doctors ,Lawyers, and engineers., so the rest should learn to farm or learn a trade.that will solve most of our problems. I was a good student in ghana when I was there and when I come to America I went to university after which I now drives a toilets truck we call it here porta- patty as a full time job. And the snake work as a part time job. In ghana they will call you a latrine carrier. The mentality need to change my people. Love you all.

Where are the conservation biologists in Ghana? This is a typical crime again the conservation of biodiversity. Are they any leaders in Ghana having the country at heart? All fauna and flora has an intrinsic dignity to live, irrespective of their economical benefits. After hunting for the snakes till they are wiped out what would happen to their predators and consumers? The guy must be arrested immediately and charge for his line of business. In Australia, if you kills only one bird you might spend more than five years in jail. All this species comes together for eco- system to work. Depleting or wiping one of the species out for economical gains might collapsed the feeding relationship and the entire ecosystem. Ghana has finally gone down to gutters. Am surprised to see the journalists also entertaining such barbaric behavior. Where are the ecologist, where are the conservation biologists in Ghana. Are there any animal rights protection in Ghana? Even if it's taken home as a pet,its against the conservation acts.Its a torture to the species due to the sudden change of habitation. Ghana is in crisis. Can the future generations live to see such beautiful snake species for research purposes, maintaining the balance of the ecosystem? My heart is bleeding. Seriously this can lead to a severe climates change, due to
unavailability of only one species.
