Undoubtedly, some of these ministries are created to loot from the National coffers and share among the NPP fool soldiers.
Dubious ministries are the only job the NPP know how to create. Very soon these dubious ministries would be assigned two deputy ministers and special assistants.
Nothing will change in the Zongos after the 4 years. This is just a useless ministry like the ministry of modernization of the capital city under former president Kufour. Mahamma didn't create any of these dubious ministries and yet he transformed circle into Dubai.

Did you just compare circle to Dubai? What village do you live at? Google Dubai, click on images and make the proper comparison. Kuffour was the first after Nkrumah to take the development of Accra seriously. That copy cat interchange at circle is nothing to glorify about. If Mahama was serious about continuing on where Kuffour finished, you will not be smelling those filthy gutters you smell as you walk to work this morning. Accra smells, Ghana smells bad, I love my country but damn, is the black man that stupid? Raise your standards so the politicians don't play magic tricks like the circle interchange on you. The rest of Accra is congested. 99.99? of it. So what's the point of the one useless giant?

This so called Zongo ministry is what will collapse NPP government. Do you have an idea of how many Zangos exists in Ghana? what exactly will you be doing for them that will satisfy them? Or will you break down all the narrow houses and put out people? There is absolutely nothing any government can do in the Zongos besides advising them to be cleaning and asking them to get their children into schools, creating ministries for this Zongos will amount to nothing, I just pity the minister appointed, he will get disgraced.

I would like to correct a perception that the inhabitants of Zongos in our cities are predominately from Northern Ghana. The truth of the matter is 90% of the Zongolese are aliens and Moslem economic migrants from neighboring countries, mainly from Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, Nigeria and few from the other West African countries. The lingua franca between them is a "broken Hausa" or "adulterated Hausa language", and Hausa is not a Ghanaian language. It is rather the language of Hausas in the north of Nigeria.
What Ghana needs now is another "Aliens Compliance Order" to kick them out for good. That is the only way we can develop a better and authentic ID system in our country. With the present system of appeasement, Zongo communities will always exist and expand in our cities, because the aliens will never stop coming and will never stop claiming the citizenship of our dear country fraudulently.

While you keep creating your Zongo ministries and Zongo funds be also prepared to house several thousands of Buzus of Niger and Fulanis across West Africa. Set you gold money aside to cater for a massive NHIS because Ghanaians will be increased by millions. All government of advanced countries are trying not to attract many foreigners into their territories so that they can give good care to the existing citizens. When you start singling out Zongos to give development then be also prepared to house more Zongonians from Neighbouring countries. This move is a very bad one

Mr JJ Rawlings who took over the reigns of Government and cried at the top of his voice that he had

Why Zongo communities but not all shanty communities ? Imagine places like Chorkor and a whole lot of places within the Municipality of Accra and Tema inhabited by all tribes who struggles to even eat one ball of kenkey without fish. The worst affected KAYAYE who out of poverty threw their weightless weight behind you before becoming what you are today suddenly neglected. Such is the world. The vulnerability of these poor young girls and women are not even given priority after all what they did for you ? Equal rights and justice for all but not to the fulanis who are from elsewhere in Africa. After all, who are these so called Zongo dwellers ? Are most of them not foreigners from Mali, Niger and the drought stricken areas in West Africa ? Imagine a Fulani girl like Samira Bawumia dancing to beautiful highlife tunes at the state house when the indigenous women are suffering. All what you are doing is strategizing how to win the votes of the zongo dwellers after your four years term expires but mind you, the KAYAYE that you are neglecting are going to vote you out of power. I am a nationalist and will continue to fight for the most downtrodden Ghanaians instead of fulanis.

NDC supporters should rather be worried about the success or otherwise of this ministry as it is a strategy to pull the rug under their feet and send the party into oblivion. The Zongos are predominantly NDC and this policy is meant to woo them over completely to NPP. And the creation of another region out of their world bank has the potential of the new region in the north of Volta flipping to NPP. If these two well crafted strategies of Nana succeed then NDC is finished forever. This is what the foolish Koku Anyidoho and Asiedu Nketia and the Portophys should worry about if they have any sense at all. Well done Nana for a well thought out strategy.

The Government had better start the national identification project going before this zongo regeneration starts. Or else before you can say jack, all the Muslims in the neighbouring countries will be in there, vying for a piece of our national cake. And draining our scant resources. The govt had better do their research well. And it must apply to the poor ghettos in other areas too. Not just zongos.
Secondly there must be pilgrimage committee for Christians just like the hajj. I am tired of this imbalance with the northerners. Let's be fair. They have had free education, free this and that for so long, it's about time for them to better their communities and not rely too much on the government to do things for them and pander to them for votes.
