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 . When stealing and corruption becomes the norm rebellion and war become the duty.

I suspect this man without being prejudice to be wicked man with no care or proper plan for Ghana and the children of Ghana for promoting privatization of Ghana with political interest rather looking at the long term effect.

Some few wicked ones sold Ghana Telecom and help the ILLUMINATI enslave Ghanaians by taking away over $10 billion yearly from Ghanaians with a telecom service, something Ghana can handle. They want to do the same with ECG because of manipulated poor service. If the ECG management is not performing, reshaffle or replace them rather than sell o destroy Ghana. Promotion should be tied with performance rather than qualifications in Ghana to avoid mismanagement and corruption in public entities

The issue is the criminals (The persons) who find their way into government and not necessary the party. This is why you must who to into power to rule you. Pray and act in a way that will the right person into leadership, God bless those who bless themselves and not those who fool themselves. If you go and sit in a church and still remain a fool or ignorant, you will still suffer no matter how much you pray and fast. The Bible says "For my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". This Bible quotation is a reality in life and applies to many blacks and most Africans.

Most blacks and most Africans destroy their own selves by ignorance, hatred, lack of unity, laziness, envy, ignorance (Not illiteracy), foolishness, fear, arrogance, timidity, greedy, short-term thinking, selfishness, evil, incompetence, haste, wrongful imitation, no vision, no efficient plans, succumb to slavery or slave mentality and more. It is sad because everyone thinks he or she knows and will not want to listen to the truth when in fact, we do not know at all. May the Lord protect people of color and restore our destiny in general.

Ask those who served as board of directors what they saw wrong with ECG and what strategic decision they implemented and how any if any helped ECG from 1992 to date. Shouldn't we blame them for not meeting their goals?

It is one thing for idiots to think that privatization is the answer to all of our problems but it is a crying shame when the man running our economic policy makes an unqualified idiotic suggestion. Here is the break down. If we have any self respect and a sense of shame in Ghana we would clearly see how stupid our leaders have become. When Ghana Telecom was sold to Vodafone, the new Vodafone management did not troop in foreigners as mid-level and front line workers; they used the same presumed lazy Ghanaian front line workers to make money and compete. What is says is that it was Ghana Telcom managers that were bad along with the political appointees who were just as useless as tits on a bull. Another plausible explanation would be that we love to be told what to do in Ghana by whites, Asians, Chinese, Lebanese, Indians and other and not by other Ghanaians.

Secondly Seth Terkper and those in favor of the sale should name just one government institution that is doing a good job for Ghana. So why not sell parliament and every institution so they can be run effectively and efficiently? Better yet why not let the government through Bank Of Ghana pay its debts to ECG or look for competent Ghanaians who are apolitical and not beholding to the thieves and vandals in the NPP and NDC. At least let us see if Ghanaians have the common sense and what it takes to run a country? What we cannot do in Ghana is continue to sell all available assets at fire sale then wonder why we have even Chinese who did not have the common sense and the intellect to find work back home in China come to Ghana with Chinese government money to boss Ghanaians around even as they pollute our environment because they bought some of our buffoons in government?

All sources have been exhausted to pay interest for the loans accumulated. Ghanaians are really paying the highest cost for voting for animals resembling human beings called NDC.

What does Terkper mean by strengthening the company? How can the gov't owe and not pay ECG and turn around and say, by privatizing it, the company will be strengthened?
Instead of paying the debt owed ECG so it can invest in efficient systems, retool and change it's obsolete equipment thereby improve it's distribution network, we have a situation where John Mahama's NDC family and friends stealing brigade are stealing the Ghanaian taxpayer bonkers and saying the system is weak. Why won't it be weak when all the Mahama NDC gov't knows is the stealing of taxpayer funds as opposed to paying debts owed to for example ECG?
There will be no privatization of ECG. If John Mahama and Terkper cannot pay the debt it owes ECG, they must step aside now for sensible, competent, intelligent and responsible members of the Ghanaian society to come and fix their stinking thieving mess that is collapsing ECG now!!!
