    Now,the question is "What is preventing Ghanaians from doing what the Ivorians are doing?

  • Linda 10 years ago

    Ghana has never been to any major conflict but yet, we're still struggling to take baby steps. There's no excuse for Ghana to be in such a mess while Côte d'Ivoire, a country that was involved in two wars able to get back on ...

    Long time Gabby! I must admit that you sometimes look sad in your "professional" robes than when you were donning your awful dreadlocks in London! By the way, the club you used to disc jock has just posted a job opening for a ...

    Only a fool will break a door when some has agreed to open it.Gabby is trying to awaken President Mahama from his long sleep in order to emulate and embark sound economic policies that the Ivorian President is currently embar ...

    All what Gabby is indirectly saying is: vote for Akufo-Addo. He has the track record. Do not look at his birth certificate. If Ouattara can do all these at 72 and will re-elected to lead his country until he is 77, what of Ak ...

    Dear Monika, you come across as a member of NDC or at least NDC sympathizer. In your comment about Akuffo Addo, you stated among other things that he is arrogant and had 3rd class in Economics. Well, I believe you have heard ...

    Is this about Rawlings? Who has mentioned Rawlings here?

    What kind of logic says if you don't say anything positive about Akufo-Addo, then you're a supporter of NDC? Where's the logic in that?

    Note: the correct name is ...

    Poor NPP folks, they spend so much time playing defence because of their Nana Addo hang-ups that their campaign message gets lost. That is why they need to leave Nana Addo behind if they want to win in 2016. There are several ...

    This is another campaign strategy for Akufo Addo.
    He will win the delegate election but he will lose the general election gin!

  • okofo 10 years ago

    What did Akufo Addo do which is indicative of arrogance? Akufo Addo read economics, and whether he got a "z" class or an "A" is IRRELIVANT, because economics degree is NOT a reqirement for the presidency. Working for the IMF ...

    The underlying text is pointing at the similarities between the two conditions. In such a situation, the major points of comparison can be weighed as a pointer to events to come. Class A or Z may be irrelevant in judging an i ...

    Monika, you're either a very naive person or in serious denial about the current state of the country. You're whats wrong with this nation. Why do you allow your hatred for Nana to cloud your judgement?

  • Monika 10 years ago

    ... naive, in serious denial about the current state of the country, hates him, is what is wrong with the country or all of the above!

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    You are just naive, chain of Ph.D's don't make a President. Look even in Ghana, we have had three Presidents with Doctorate degrees, Busia, Limann and Mills and look at their legacies. At least Akuffo Addo got third class in ...

    "But when you're making a comparison of two persons, as Gabby is implicitly doing here, then such factors take on added relevance."

    So a 3rd class in history is better than a 3rd class in Economics? Is that what you are te ...

    If this same piece had been written by an impartial person, I'd have given a different interpretation to it. But Gabby is too partisan to be believed. He cannot deceive some of us.

    You're the one rather confusing facts and the interpretation of those facts. That Akufo-Addo got a third class is a factual statement. Whether that fact can affect his ability as a ruler at a future date is a predictive or in ...

    "Busiah was the best educated Ghanaian".

    Are you serious? Where did you get that from? He got second class lower degree. What made him the best educated Ghanaian?

  • Pelicles 10 years ago

    Keep your vote or keep voting for your NDC and who suffers? Your party came out with a statement saying "The power outages will be indefinite" and it sounds right to you.

    Nana had 3rd class or even did not go to school, b ...

    Yes, we are sinking deep and you think Akufo-Addo is the solution?

    And what makes you think if someone does not vote for Akufo, he must vote for NDC?

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    He might not be the answer but anybody will be better than this clueless Mahama we have as the President.

  • Nanasei. 10 years ago

    Sometimes, I wonder why some people make politics out of everything. Somebody takes his to analyze and compare what our next door neighbor is doing that's making the difference. And you just sit down without thinking and writ ...

    Akufo ADo has been in politics for far too long. If he can do something he would have shown it along time ago. Look at his home region what has he done so far as improvement.

    OUTARA MAY BE 72, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN NANA CAN ALSO BE PRESIDENT AT THAT AGE. OUATARA IS INTELEGENT, NANA ADDO IS UNINTELEGENT. wHAT DID HE ACHIEVE AS A MINISTER IN KOFOUR'S GOVERNMENT? AND WHAT SHOWS THAT HE WILL ACHIEVE ...
