Mahama found it convenient to order the posting of trainee nurses from his native Gonja tribe to newly constructed health posts dotted across his native Gonjaland whilst neglecting those from other parts of Ghana. He even sidelined the Lobis(Brefos) within the same region and Gonja districts. All these Mahama is doing to carve out a separate region from the present Northern Region for Gonjas. With this wicked agenda by Mahama, how can Ghana develop under his presidency.
Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

The country has been mismanaged for so long that the only way to rest affairs and put things in the right direction is unfortunately through war . Our gold and all natural resources are of no benefit to the people despite over 30 billion dollars every year of these exports . Our people live in poverty and have the standard of a nation in the 17th century rather than enjoying the standards and benefits of the 21st century . I need not quote Socrates or Aristotle, Confucius or Roosevelt but today i will mention Stalin .Stalin said the core of all governance or politics is the personnel politics , today we see a govt packed with alajih Muslims , northerners and ayigbe Ewes whose only agenda is to destroy the economy , discriminate against the majority Akans and ensure exploitation , slavery and poverty so in the ignorance the people retain their system of governance. Yes there only 2 ways to determine the legitimacy of any government of system of governance and that is one through the ballot box or by war . America and all the nations of the west were not born or did not gain their freedom and right to justice through the ballot box but by war so its time to prepare our great nation the Akans . We do not need 99% approval but less than 1% of those who are aware to begin this effort and thanks be to God in my travels around i see our people are ready. We rejected despite all the trickery colonial rule now is the time to boot out this pepeni/ayigbe pestilence and no more weep by the rivers of Ewe/Northern?Muslim Babylon. The divine duty of every nation set by God is to seek freedom from any oppressor or unjust system and we shall never surrender to these criminals , its our turn to say let their blood flow. Now they rush to sell off for a pittance the ECG and any thing else that will burden us with debt or deny us the capability of self reliance through managing our own wealth claiming these are the rules , the bullshit will never end. The personnel politics is important even in economics as the only way to secure loyalty and good intent is if the majority themselves own their own natural resources . These NDC idiots and their sleepers in the NPP have a perverse way of interpreting good economic principles and turning them into yokes so heavy the people are broken into poverty . Imagine Putin of Russia privatizing the oil and gold of his country and it being owned by non Russians , foreigners from Europe China or America . Imagine Britain , Norway or USA allowing their industry , natural resources or oil be owned by non citizens ? We are surprised we have fake exploiting investors who never bring their profits back but rather buttress their economies in their own countries with our money and wealth . Yes its time to end all these , find true thinkers and patriots who will truly love our people and put them first . Yes only war will remove this oligarchy who think the way forward is to keep our people in poverty. We challenge all sound minded people to review and reflect upon all political decisions of the last few decades and observe how they find ways of perversely undermining otherwise correct macroeconomic principles and rules into nightmares of worry and trouble for future generations. They sell our golden goose to foreigners and applaud each other in their stupidity of how they were able to sell out the interests of the ignorant people. Yes war will make them know the price of betrayal and selling out the nation's interest . Not a single decision has any common sense or is motivated by the true desire to serve the interests of the people . Today we see small boys driving around in expensive cars because they are pepeni /ayigbe hegemony tribalism saturated . Time to end all of this nonsense and this is the year , forget elections and prepare for war as they will only attempt again to rig the vote and will never be encouraged to go away peacefully .

From the way circle has flooded it means the construction of the overhead did not take into consideration the drainage system in that area. It seems the contractor has chocked the drainage system at circle. This is what Journalists should be investigating. Whats the use in having that overhead if it causes the whole area to flood. This is probably the true cause of the June 3 disaster last year. I am just thinking rationally and logically, and not as ndc fanatics who fail to use what God has given them - Brain. If you are smart you will know it is easy to control the narrative of the media.

URBAN PLANNING IN GH: IF RAWLINGS, KUFFOUR AND MAHAMA, ALONG WITH MINISTERS DURING THEIR GOVERNING ERAS WOULD SUBMIT A QUARTER OF THE MONIES THEY EMBEZZLED FROM GH COFFERS BACK TO THE STATE. I WILL DO WHAT Haussmann's renovation of Paris was a vast public works program commissioned by Emperor Napoléon III and directed by his prefect of the Seine, Georges-Eugène Haussmann, between 1853 and 1870. It included the demolition of crowded and unhealthy medieval neighborhoods, the building of wide avenues, parks and squares, the annexation of the suburbs surrounding Paris, and the construction of new sewers, fountains and aqueducts. Haussmann's work met with fierce opposition, and he was finally dismissed by Napoleon III in 1870; but work on his projects continued until 1927. The street plan and distinctive appearance of the center of Paris today is largely the result of Haussmann's renovation

Luciferianism my belief of the creator Lucifer and what I primarily believe is the light in the darkness the enlighten one the god of the ultimate wisdom and knowledge, seeker of all and free to our will with self empowering and improvement of your life as lucifer or believe in the actual deity Lucifer.
I believe in Lucifer as being many things in the universe, the darkness in light, the balance and intelligence of the six comings of life.
-High Priest- Dr Prasand
O' Father Angel the Lightbearer
It's sadistic game in life we pay
May thee come to the high from the ashes
To claim thee throne, speak the truth and wisdom, through the eyes of the edge of Xtians that walkthrough the 4 corners of the earth
Let he who have ultimate power and knowledge of the mental capacities you told me through Sathian, the xtians called you to the underground power, strength and the angels you bringth on your throne, give me all of you and come in all of me, O Agios Father Lucifer.

Now in one year we have 730,000,0000 sachets dropped and all enter our drains which arent well planned and managed.We think it will take a year after june 3rd to solve this??Its alot of work involved and it starts with education and proper planning..we are all involved the people and leaders.Accra will continue to flood and that is the truth and you all waiting for magic to happen smh..rubbish choked drains floods..people!!!! all of us!! think!!

True Talk, You are one ignorant and uneducated person. Do you think the government has control over everything? More specifically over nature. Why people like you think every disaster that happened in Ghana is due to the incompetency of the Mahama's Administration? Let me tell you who ever you are, flooding is happening all over the world. Global warming is causing all these problems. It is no one person fault so stop bashing the president. Advance country like France is flooded right now. This is going around the world. Parts of the United States is flooded right now. I don't think your beloved Akuffo Addo can do anything to stop mother nature if he were the president. I don't trust any Ghanaian politician whether NDC or NPP. They are all corrupt.

Most of the comments on this platform are made out of sheer ignorance, mischief or stupidity. Are they aware of the much more serious floods in Paris? In fact the worst floods keep recurring in the most advance countries like the US and the Netherlands. Southern African countries are not new to this. China records the most serious floods every year. Natural phenomena occur in places as a result of love the location or some other peculiar factors. Accra is low lying and all the waters from the mountains flow down through to the sea. The attitude of the citizens also contributes to the problem yet idiots are quick to point to Mahama. If it were that easy, previous governments would have solved it before Mahama. Please stop the unnecessary comments and make useful contributions as a patriotic citizen that would help mitigate the effects.

WE PRAY TO GOD TO STOP THE RAINS WHILE MIGHTY GOD IN HIS WISDOM CREATED MAN TO DOMINATE THIS EARTH HE FASHIONED. WE BUILD ROOFS OVER OUR HEADS SO WHEN IT RAINS AND THUNDERS WE ARE SAFE INDOORS. SOUTH KOREA, JAPAN AND THE USA GAVE GHANA GOVERMENT HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF US DOLLARS MANY YEARS AGO TO BUILD STORM DRAINS TO HELP US WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY AND AS USUAL THIS LOAN CANNOT BE ACCOUNTED FOR UP THIS DAY. ARE WE A MAD NATION, SO SELFISH AND GREEDY AND CORRUPT TO THIS EXTENT? BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED. LET GOD BE TRUE!!!!!!

Ghanaians wake up and be adults about this huge problem facing Ghana and stop blaming the government. Ghanaians you are not blameless. Do you consider the consequences when you build your houses in areas that block the paths of rivers? You build without planning permission and then bribe the authorities to overlook what you have done. You drop litter anywhere. When someone has the wisdom to point out the wrong you say "eha dei saa na ete "Ghanaians never want to change their backward attitudes yet they want good things. Life is not like that. You reap what you sow. Ghana is yours, you are part of it do your bit by doing the right thing. Stop building houses that block river routes,stop dropping litter or throwing all household rubbish in gutters. Stop "eha dei saa na etei " attitudes. Further more stop bribery and pay your taxes and all utility bills. The government's money comes from you.
You do your bit it so it's easier for the government to do their bit. We are all in it together. Stop blaming Mahama and take responsibility for what is happening.

Somebody should call the MORON JDM at the flagstaff house to let him know what shoddy jobs his oval -shaped headed brother IBRAHIM did at the ODAW river. Things have gotten worse than before. Using state machinery, and a lofty sum of money, we still experience flooring in that area. Come January 2017 you and your looting syndicates would be brought to justice. To name just a few :(1) dzifa attivor (2)elvis afriyie Ankara (3) woyome (4) lbrahim Mahama (5)amegashie dvla boss (6)lordina Mahama. The list continues on and on so you "SIKADECIOUS "folks beware. As NANA ADD doesn't pammer national looters. "ASEM BEBA DABI "as koku anyidoho said sometime ago that nobody should leave the country. Let them remain and face the consequences! !!!!!!

Is Acrra built in a low flood zone area that is too low for housing and business ? Maybe city should move more inland ?
