MAHAMA IS BARAWO BANZA
Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

NKWASEAS€M. Foolish talk. For how long was your NDC in power? If you really love Ghana, why did you fail to tackle this problem? It's now that you're talking. NANIAMA.

When we were growing up, galamsay was not an issue at all for Ghana because we produced more than 85% of our foods-stuffs; as a result, the Country only needed very few millions of foreign exchange to meet our import need.

So then, what is the real political cause behind this galamsay menace which we find hanging on our necks?

Until we try to dig very deep to find the real causes, and, then find constructive solutions to those causes one after the other, any attempt we make to enact any premature or outright ban may end-up putting the Country at a more dangerous risk.

Where was Ablakwa when his party was in power? Why did he fail to advise Mahama on the chaos galamsey is doing to our lands and rivers? He got a bid mouth these days.

For once this bribe story maker has said the truth.
But it was Mr Kuffour who issued licence for these small scale miners without thinking far, hence Nana Add is the best person to ban it

You knew what was right and had you advised your then Gov to ban them, Ghanaians would have based on that to retain NDC. Next time do what is right.

For this, I do agree with you 1million% but yourknife-shaped-sharped teeth, what did you and your accomplices of thieves do when you were in power? Is it not you and you corrupt president Mahama that's why Ghana is in this mess and more galamseyers especially under your term of ofice from China destroying the forest and water resources with impunity? You guys bringing them inn? You only talk little sense in opposition but thwarted which is sycophantically uttered. Useless beings like you.

Is it, therefore, FAIR to conclude that comments from NDC members blaming former President Mahama's failure to retain the presidency was because he surrounded himself with inexperience, greedy, and disrespectful and uncouth youth like Okudzeto Ablakwa? This goes to the core of his comments now to ban small mining. What was he doing/thinking when he was in power. Why didn't he advise Mahama to ban them until now?
