Our Nana Addo
Who art in Ghana.
Loser be your name.
Thy defeat come again.
Your free education be done by NDC.
As it is in your promise.
Give us this day our all die be die plan.
And forgive us our supreme court verdict
As we forgive those who voted twice.
And lead us not into civil war
But deliver us from another petition.
For thine is thy habit
The lies in the newspapers
From now till 2021 JM shall rule

Do you know that as there is now a free flow of at Nkrumah Circle the same cannot be said for Obetsebi Lamptey circle. That is why the whole project should have fitted into a broad-based policy. Do you also know that the money spent on this single project could have taken care of the Obetsebi, Nkrumah and Dankwah circles if it had been priced well?

In the late 90s, When NDC was in power and sensing massive failure, NDC told Ghanaians that there is no way an Ashanti will be the president of Ghana yet J.A. Kufuor, a high breed Ashanti became the president of Ghana for 8years. Again the NDC made Ghanaians to believe that when NPP comes to power they will chase all Northerners to Togo yet again NPP was in power for 8year and no single Northerner was chased to Togo. Today, the NDC has started the unfounded lies again by saying Nana can never be president and that when NPP comes to power they will give the people of Volta Region poison and acid to drink. These are all NDC lies from the pit of hell.

The 74 million Euros could have completed the stretch all the way from Ako Adjei Interchange to Obetsebi Lamptey Circle to really ease the traffic jam. Let us see what will happen after the area all the way through STC to Obetsebi Lamptey Circle. Mahama and his people are always thinking of projects that they inflate and steal from. Again, this project was procured through sole sourcing. The Brazilian company that executed the project is under investigation for bribery. They can't return to Brazil. That is why Mahama is making sure that they award them more products like the Tamale, Kumasi and Ho Airports Phase 2 project which have again been seriously inflated. This way they can make huge bribes from inflated costs before the Brazilian companies are sent back home to face the music.

Mr. Mahama and his looting brigade are not interested in the priorities that would ease the suffering of Ghanaians; they are only interested in prestigious projects for the enjoyment of few ruling elites and deceive gullible voters regardless of whether the inflated projects are priorities and value for money or not.

Does the insensitive NDC government think, despite the massive corruption and incompetence, they could borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016 while the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger? I wonder how they are going to account for the 40 plus billion dollars they have borrowed so far to land our country in HPIC and bankruptcy.

Governance under the NDC is all about 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they are asking us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said there would be paradise in Ghana if we gave them a third mandate in the coming elections.

The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

If good pricing was done the money for the Nkrumah interchange could have built 3 additional ones at Obetsebi and Dankwah. This trial and error agenda will not help Ghana. Nana Addo and Bawumia would have first come out with a sound urban road policy before proceeding with the implementation. I think history education has made Mahama senseless.

Now about easy of traffic, have any body considered the fact that the traffic build up is almost always at ''The Loom'' towards Adabraka and "Feo oyeo '' towards Obetsebi Lamptey roundabout. I hope we will not witness a situation where the traffic would push back to the flyover which is not to carry loaded cargo trucks

I've never seen anywhere in the world where politicians give bags of rice or salt and build roads and bridges to win power, that is the job of government, it is your money.
The economy is the determining factor, and this gov has failed because there is too much pain and suffering.

NDC HATE ZONGO AND ANGLO COMMUNITIES WITH PASSION
After 19 years of P/NDC rule they could not construct even 1cm of tarred road in Koforidua Zongo even though these zongo people have faithfully been voting for the Akatamanso. What about Koforidua Anglo Town? The same shameful story was replicated. In less than two years of Kufuor's administration, the Water works-Zongo-Anglo Town- Minyila stretch of road was constructed yet the NDC succeeded in deceiving the Zongo people that Kufuor did not do anything for them.
When Atta Mills came to power in 2009, they hurriedly went to Anglo Town to clear some places claiming that they were also going to
construct roads in Anglo Town and in the process, they destroyed people's shops and businesses but they weren't able to construct a centimeter of road in Anlo Town. A lady, called Agie, who lost her business because of the hurried demolition has gone blind till date out of shock. Many other victims have relocated to Accra to practice odd jobs and some of the boys have left the country to North Africa through the dessert. This is how destructive NDC could be to Zongo and Anglo communities.

The NDC government is corrupt and incompetent. There is a saying in the English language that saids 'we must cut our coat according to our size' Ghana is a poor country,we have no jobs for our youth,and taxes are up to the roof,so please this government's priority at the moment is not the majorities priority.
Mahama and the NDC have lost focus to govern Ghana and ought to be changed.
Now we want to compare Accra with with cities that have money,we go begging and they don't,and that is the difference between us and them.
Mahama's government is ministers become rich over night.
Even Mahama took bribe of $100,000.00 value Ford SUV and when cought,he told Ghanaians it was a gift he gave to the state,and how is that?
Has Mahama no knowledge of what is called "A Conflict of Interest?"

Mr Economist truth is the fare from circle to kaneshie is the same,how have I saved then?we should be strategic in our spending, its a beautiful infrastructure but not strategic.if that loan was invested in the economy rather we wouldn't need a loan to construct this project...The interchange will ease traffic for workers to get to work early but this same workers will still press their phones the whole day at work and productivity is still low.....the problem is the people of Ghana changing their attitude not an interchange.....On this basis of beauty I will congratulate the government for this infrastructure.

Ghana has waited for a very long time fora visionary and an expansionist in the person of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama. May his reign be long and fruitful. His vision for Ghana has broken a West African Record and we are witnessing it here at the Circle named after our great legendary Dr.Nkrumah. It has become the meeting point of the two great leaders our mother Ghana has produced for us.

Ghana will wait for a very long time for another John Mahama after 2020.

Ghanaians are not daft to pay attention to the baseless overpriced slogan. Others will not do it and now it is there as a MONUMENT for generations to come. Just like the Akosombo Dam and the Accra-Tema Motorway.
