dont mind the fool , what we see is the results of corruption and incompetence . How many people die a day just because of poor sanitation , feces infested water or food talk less of the circle explosion .Plain and simple NDC is not a political party but the megaphone of a hegemony/tribalism treacherous insidious movement of Ewes Northerners and haters/traitors of the Akan. They wooed and deceived the left wing aspirations and heritage of the Akan people but installing a few naive genuine patriots or impeccable characters like Mills to front their true criminal genocide agenda. Any nation that allows murder of the leaders to go unpunished no matter the lying propaganda justification is doomed to failure and that is a fact of history , NDC has continuously found it necessary to murder all Akan leaders starting from Kotoka's wickedness, to Acheampong and now Mills. We Akans can not call these Ewes and Northerners brothers if their most intimate desires is our destruction stemming from deep pathological hate and is manifested in their style of govt which has always been very destructive and retrogressive , be it the buga buga rawlings or the family and friends corruption/looting of Mahama. We thank Akans of the left wing inclination for showing their support to remove this criminal mafia by not excising their right not to vote and therefore leaving the NDC high and dry.They know the Akans are half right wing and the other half left wing so their calculation election engineering required that they stick to the hegemony of the Ewes and fantical islamic discrimination mixed with tribalism of the northerners and they would win hands down every election, little did they know that the ideological left wing of the Fanti speaking people and the Brong Ahafo are far more sophisticated and can not be fooled by no one forever. Next year we will see and witness the true extent of the destruction and expose with real proofs the colonization by Ewes and Northerners of the wealth of the Akans . Justice should be enforced not these fake laws that have so many loop holes that true justice in the interest of the people is elusive. We witness how thew Mahama family now have control of all natural resources including reserves of Bauxite and iron ore so frustrated and sabotaged every effort at industrialization and construction of railway networks as they did not want the people to get wealthy by adding value and exporting . Its easier to manipulate ignorant illiterate impoverished people. They snear scoff and laugh as they know these and other impediments and obstacles will seriously slow down NPP's deep desire to secure a true development for our people , yes the battle goes on and the only way is to cut these pepeni/ayigbe out of our country so we gain new independence.

Negative behavior has a way of turning on us. So does positive behavior. We all react to certain events with rage, fear, envy or other painful, destructive emotions but knowing we have a choice can free us from bondage to this pain. So who do you think you are? Mr Perfect?
To accept our own imperfection is to make a giant step toward peace of mind. To accept that the world is full of people who disagree with us is to begin to achieve maturity
The truth is, the fear of your own inadequacy and because your expectations of yourself are inflated, along with others expectations of you, you leave in the realm of pretense. The other truth is none of us is inadequate yet all of us fall short of being perfect. Our journeys throughout life, sometimes painful, are designed to introduce us to new information, new possibilities for growth and development. Fretting like yours takes our focus away from the moment and the rich invitation for involvement that's rewarding and extending. It's through the full interaction with the present that we're nurtured and encouraged to attain our full potential.
How exhilarating to become aware of our freedom to think and to feel as we wish. With this freedom, however, comes responsibility. How you prepared yourself for this experience or this day was chosen by you. Every minute each one of us is in control of our perceptions, our attitudes, our responses. Understanding of ourselves will grow when we come to see ourselves in a continuum, where the traits that hold us back in one situation may be advantages in another.
How often we expect others to treat us with exquisite courtesy while we lapse into rudeness, treating others with our tantrums, sulks, utmost disrespect and disregard. Next time learn to talk responsibly. Joe Bright may not be bright after all.

Jackie Ma - the founder of Alibaba said: *"The worst people on earth to serve are the POOR PEOPLE"*

POOR: *meaning* "Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly"

*See the reasons below:*

1)Give them for free, they will think it is a trap.

2)Tell them it's a small investment, they will say "you can't earn much".

3)Tell them to come in BIG, they will say "I don't have any money".

4)Tell them to try new things, they will say "no experience; has it been proven to work?
Who has gained from it before?".

5)Tell them it's a traditional business, they'll say "it's too HARD to do".

6)Tell them it is a new business model, they will say "I don't do network marketing and how many years has this business model been existing?".

7)Tell them to run a shop, they will say "I will be tied down, I'll have no freedom".

8)Tell them to follow a 1-year business plan, they will say "it's too long. Please, I can't wait for so long".

9)Ask them what can they do? They will say "I can't do ANYTHING".

10)They like to ask friends who are as hopeless as themselves to get their opinions. Even the Bible acknowledges the fact that blind people don't lead blind people.

11) They think more than a University Professor and do less than a blind man.

Penny wise, Pound foolish.

One major challenge POOR people have is "LACK OF ACTION!"

They enjoy their comfort zone, dwelling and swimming in "what if".

Anything beyond their reason "can't work, and therefore it is fraudulent"

This is the cause!

If you continue to earn what you are earning at the moment all through the months until the end of next year, tell me: will that dream of becoming a financial pillar in your family be achieved soon?

Well, YOU alone know the answer.

*BE POSITIVE*
*BE SMART*
*BE PRO-ACTIVE

Even when we do have strict laws on our booksregarding safety in industrial and commercial establishments, corruption in society negates the spirit of the law when it comes to inspection and implementation as a comprehensive part of enforcement. People are aloud to flout environmental standards and get away with it , thus leading to senseless loss of lives. Most of these facilities are owned by our very lawmakers and the elite in society and use their influence to sidestep the law. MAY THE SOULS OF THE DEAD REST IN PEACE.

It should not take repeated human carnage for Ghana to measures in place to prevent these tragedies, where are infinitely preventable. When I am commenting on issues like these, I always like to keep in mind that Ghana is a lawless country. The laws can be in place but no one pays attention to the law especially if they are in the ruling party. Here, I make no distinction between the lawlessness of the NDC and that of the NPP. A lot of Ghanaians are illiterate. To make matters worse, they do not listen or learn readily. These gas station explosions with resulting human deaths have happened before. They will continue to happen. Even if you write a law, people will ignore the law. There has to be a fundamental effort to reorient ALL the people to obeying the laws. I no longer grieve when my countrymen die in these kinds of tragedies. My countrymen are continually begging for disasters!

CONFUSION IS SHOWING MASTERPIECE, AT A TIME WHEN AN OUT-GOING INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT IS DOING ALL IT IGNORANTLY THINKS IS IN ITS POWER TO WEAKEN THE IN-COMING GOVERNMENT SO IT FAILS THE PEOPLE OF GHANA MORALLY, SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY LIKE ITS UNPATRIOTIC PREDECESSOR NDC. ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE GOVERNMENTAL ENVIRONMETAL PROTECTION AGENCIES IN THIS COUNTRY WITH TRAINED STAFF? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAID-DOWN REGULATIONS? HOW MANY PETROL STATIONS FOR INSTANCE DO ASIEDU NKETIA OF NDC OWN IN ALL GHANA, AND WHERE ARE THEY SITUATED? A NEW, RESTRUCTURED OR REVAMPED GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT
ENVIRONMENTAL ESTABLISHMENT, CHARGED SOLELY WITH THE ENFORCEMENT AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO SAFETY REGULATIONS IS NEEDED, AND THAT URGENTLY. NANA, IT IS WELL, IT IS WELL!
