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 oppression , discrimination ,stealing and corruption becomes the norm rebellion and war become the duty.

How the hell do you circle the square of successive BAD GOVERNMENTS that Ghana has gone through after Dr.
Nkrumah?

It is not only Mahama who is stinking and showing bad leadership and bad governance. Most of our successive
leaders and governments have all been very corrupt, ineffective, waste of time and downright incompetent.
Dr. Nkrumah was there for only 9 years (1957 to 1966), but even for the first African/Ghanaian president of Ghana, this man did more than several of the bone-headed highly corrupt Negroes after him combined. Dr. Nkrumah didn't have a bigger Tax base to tap into, had fewer resources—with Cocoa & Gold leading the way—but Dr. Nkrumah had a vision for the country and accomplished a great deal with his baby Ghanaian government:

1) Tema motorway (2) Akosombo Dam (3) Ghana Educational Trust (GET) institutions (secondary & training schools) (4) West African Cocoa Research Institute (WACRI) (5) Job 600 (6) Hospitals, etc., etc., etc.

Now, with all the discovered & developed natural resources, tons of IMF/World Bank loans, bilateral loans from western countries, debt forgiveness, the recent windfall from HIPiC classification, enlarged TAX base (income, property, corporate, import taxes), etc., etc., still with bad and corrupt leadership and bad government officials, the country is at the verge of destruction.

Look at the Ivory Coast: There was a bitter civil war from 2010 to 2011, but look at them now under a good leadership. Ivory Coast has surpassed Ghana in cocoa production, has built better roads, good power (electricity) generation, has built better government institutions, straighten out its educational and health sectors, reduced official corruption—WHILE the so-called “STABLE Ghana” is still crawling and going around the globe BEGGING for Loans—WHY, WHY, WHY & WHY??

Have you ever asked yourself why is it now that John Dramani Mahama is providing cars to schools and other institutions in Ghana?
If JDM really think about Ghanaians then he should have used that money to build the electricity to solve the economy crisis but he doesn't care about that. He wants Ghanaians to suffer so that they surrender to him. That is the mind set of NDC and John mahama.

Clueless Serial Loser Akufo-Addo and his yoyo Aplanke Bawumia will lose again come November, and Serial Loser Akufo-Addo will be crowned a there-time loser. Ghana will not elect a clueless elephant-riding flagbearer Akufo-Addo whose own NPP members have labeled him as "incompetent and a monumental failure". Leadership to Akufo-Addo means suspension of NPP officials who disagree with him, employing intimidations and bullying to get his way, disowning of NPP officials who disagree with him, and using evil false propaganda peddlers like Luna-Tic Okoampa-Ahoofool to spew deceptions, serial lies and messages of hate and division.

For a clueless elephant-riding Serial Loser Akufo-Addo whose cluelessness and lack of leadership has greatly contributed to the state of disorientation that the NPP currently finds itself in, one can only wonder when Serial Loser Akufo-Addo will ever wake up. A clueless Serial Loser Akufo-Addo whose own NPP members have described him as "incompetent and a monumental failure" apparently is not willingly to understand why the Ghanaian electorate keeps handing him a loser's slip at every election cycle. Serial Loser Akufo-Addo's stewardship of the NPP is a clear indication that he not only lacks vision, but also does not understand a damn thing about leadership or governance. Serial Loser Akufo-Addo is now desperate and spitting out of sorts of lies and deceptions while his erratic campaign ship continues to sink.

Nana Addo is a big joke, an apology of a leader. It is surprising that the NPP supporters are still blind and cannot see that they are courting the most incompetent and by far the greatest fraudster of all the flag bearers in our political domain. Nana Addo is hoping that if he throws enough mud on President Mahama,people will not see how dirty and stinking his own incompetence record is.. He says that the NPP can assemble capable men to put this country back on track. Who? Osafo Marfo, who could have sold the whole of our dear country to the Germans by the use of his foolish pen? Or is it the likes of old, incompetent dinosaurs like Freddie Blay and Nana himsrlf? In this computer and modern technology age, can we afford to have such computer ignoramuses taking charge of our collective destiny?

I only wish Ghanaians would cast their minds back and learn how the political game is played in Africa so they can make their minds when voting. The mantra of all opposition party leaders are the same, if not, the government is corrupt then the president and his administration is incompetent then please can you give us a chance to fix the economy. Nana Akufo-Addo has sold all the properties his parents left behind to do polities.
He never added to what they left for him and his siblings, how can this man move Ghana forward?
Nana Addo thought he could use force to come to power with his arrogance. Now he has realised that with all his book knowledge the toilet carrier is as important as him, he goes round now humbled begging for votes.
Please don't listen to this man Nana Addo, he is the same yesterday, today and till he dies.
