##AUTHOR : MAAME ABENA ------- The NDC lost the election because they became God. Pride they say comes before the fall. How dare the NDC carry a cofin and says it was Nana Akufo-Addo? Today Nana Akufo-Addo has been brought back alive and well and is made ruler of Ghana. The NDC will remain in the wilderness for 40yrs. The NDC's crime against the people of Ghana has come before God,because the peoples cries were heard by God. The real job of the one that rules is a servant of the one they rule over. It means that to rule you must first learn to serve. Zanator Rawlings of the NDC as young as she is, is more of a leader than the likes of Kofi Adams and rest of his clowns. Learn to serve before you become a leader and you will go places. Jesus washed the feet of his deciples,but now all knees are subjected to His Name.

You were promised USD3billion but you managed to bring in USD1billion due to fighting over the money and corruption. Just keep quiet and watch a serious gov't working hard to lift the GDP of the nation to the highest level possible in four years. Remember what President Kufuor did from 2001 to 2008? Just watch on!!

Hmmmmm, the reason I like NPP is that, they know how to play on the reasoning of the unsuspecting Ghanaians. They succeeded in fooling those Ghanaians who couldn't use their brains to weigh issues intelligently to see whether Bawumia and Nana Addo really understood what they were campaigning about during the 2016 elections. The truth is, these NPP people just agreed among themselves that, majority of Ghanaians couldn't analyse what ever lies we tell them. Even if we are lying, they don't have the intelligence to discern. "We would tell them, NDC is taking too much loan, meaning, NDC doesn't know economic management, they would believe and vote for us". No wonder, the kind of kindergarten comments that come from their followers on issues raised in the media. Ghana, in the next four will deteriorate in all aspects.

Two things the Chinese look for.
1. Intelligence
2. Incorruptibility
In the case of 1, they are able to recognize intelligent partners when they see one. And 2, for a country that makes corruption punishable by the death penalty, let's just say they appreciate keenly the incorruptible stance of the Akufo Addo NPP govt. Let's just say, these are not traits they found in the Mahama NDC gov't. Their initial investment went down the drain and this was mainly the reason why, the other portion of the $3 billion loan, never hit the accounts of the BoG. This also had a direct relationship as to why, a lot of the Chinese got into galamsey and Mahama could not do anything about the menace. Because, they needed to recoup their investment. The highly incompetent Mahama NDC govt got stuck in what is called the debt trap. Dr. Bawumia made references to the situation Mahama found himself, by stating Ghana had gone HIPC but, in this particular scenario, there was no debt relief. So the only option left for the corrupt looting Mahama NDC gov't was to go to the IMF for the technical expertise ie competence and intelligence to run an economy, bailout etc, etc where he was offered less than a billion dollars with conditions enough to sink the Titanic twice over.
Having said that, it is very safe to state, game recognizes game in this engagement between the NPP govt and our Chinese development partners. Because for them to commit those kind of resources with the returns on their investment guaranteed, you should be able to make the case that the kind of investment those resources would be put to, would guarantee those returns in a win-win situation. The profile of investment opportunities presented by the NPP it can be inferred, critically addresses the intelligence required to run an economy to achieve the right results for the mutual benefit of both parties, and the wherewithal to stamp out corruption.
Ato Forson has no questions, because there is none, period.

mutual benefit for both countries, what is the percentage? I hope it is not 10:90% in favour of china. Minority should get hold of the agreement and make sure it favours us as Ghanaians and not as a political party

The NDC sore losers are jealous because they've realized that the NPP is more attractive to the world community than their criminal organization. Whiles John Mahama and his NDC always carried their pan running around the world begging for loans and alms, the NPP is rather invited to come for the loans on flexible terms. The NPP has brought our credit ratings to a positive note in less than five months in office : something that NDC couldn't achieved in eight years. Hurray!!!!!!!!!

Ewe Nation there is a reseaon you will belong to a minority party NDC and in opposition for a long time. Ewe Nation have you traveled through Ewe land before? Why do you live on sub- fertile lands if you are the rightful owners of Ghana? The Anglo have the salt flats, the sea and lagoon and grass land. GAs have sold their lands except the sea and the Dagombas are stucked on the hot savannah? Sad , why are you all migrating to the fertile south ? Dream all you can and refuse to integrate.

NDC party , why do you continue to allow this shallow minded dim wit to speak for you on finance and economic issues? Sure you have better minds that can match wits with the NPP economic management team of Bawumia, Akoto Osei, Osafo Marfo and Ken Ofori-Attah? This is getting very embarrassing. Please establish a competent economic and finance team to speak competently for the party. Crowd in intelligent critical thinkers as an alternative to NPP's team as the Botchwey report recommended? International Bankers, investors and Governments are always looking at the alternatives to decide where to put their money. The risk profile of the NDC economic management alternative now is very high. Bring back Botchwey or Duffor to front for you? They have more credibility. See how Tsatsu is able to rope NPP lawyer's in a match? You need one like that for Finance and economics.
Please, please the Ato Forsons and Issac Adongos are team C players!

John Mbahama and his NDC crooks have looted away all monies from the country. The NPP government needs money to build the mess left behind by crooked John Dramani Mahama, his family and the NDC.
