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 embarking upon.Everybody has a place where he or she can operate effectively and efficiently but President Mahama has wrongly or mistakenly chosen an office greater than his ability hence such jncompetencies.Although he is young as he claims,that is not a license for a good governance.As he has surrounded his government with these immatured and inexperienced youth what has been able to accompolish in his administration.Age is a quality of mind.If you have left your dreams behind .If your hope is cold ,If no longer look ahead, if your ambitious fires are dead then you are old but if from life you take the best and from life you keep the jest,then no matter how the years go by,no matter how birthdays fly.You are not old.

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 Akufo-Addo who is younger? Do not look at Akufo's ethnic background and commit the same mistake as Ivoriennes did in rejecting Ouattara on ethnic grounds.
Gabby will never miss an opportunity to campaign for his tribesman. But Akufo is not Ouattara. Ouattara is an economist a subject in which Akufo got 3rd class. Ouattara worked for IMF. Akufo has no such experience. The ethnic dynamics in Ghana are different. Ouattara is not arrogant - Akufo is, no matter what the likes of Gabby tell you on that subject. Ouattara came to the Presidency on the barrels of a gun. Ghanaians are determined not to fight a war to put one person in power.
Simply put, the conditions are different even if we are close neighbours. But Akufo must win his parties primaries first. That will be easy because the party, all its protestations of democratic procedures notwithstanding, will cajole and subtly coerce others who can really give him a run for the money, to back out of the race. Only people who have no chance against him will be allowed to contest with him so that they can lose to give a semblance of a fair fight to the whole thing.

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 of Jerry John Rawllings before. Talking about arrogance, jerry killed so many Ghanaians including a young mother of 9 months and a judge. While this jerry imposed so called probity and accountability on Ghanaian, he and his cronics gave no account of their almost 20 year stewardship including when leaving the Castle as President. I bet you did not and still does not see arrogance in that. And talking about economics, what was jerry's education background? How about Atta Mills and Mahama? Did and does their performances show any knowledge about of economics? And the answer is a big noooo!!!!.

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 is not a requirement either. What is required is experience/wisdom, commonsense, vision and proactive instinct etc:Nana has them all.
Where did you get the impression that other NPP "strong" aspirants will be scared off from contesting Nana? Who in the NPP party has the POWER to stop any potential aspirant from contesting against Nana Addo?
Akufo Addo is simply not your choice, but he doesn't have to be your choice!!

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 individual's future performance as a leader. But when there's a head to head count, it becomes relevant.
Akufo-Addo's track record as a performer in government is acknowledged only by his supporters. Neutrals don't see it.
The power that can be wielded to prevent probable winners from challenging him is not projected publicly. It is the behind the scene maneuvers that will give the lie to the democratic façade...
NB: the man's name is Akufo-Addo. No other form of writing it is correct.

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 technical Economics, do you know your Mahama did worse getting third class in history?
Some of the best Presidents in history did not even attend college. Harry Truman of USA and that Polish labour leader who became President were high school graduates. The President who turned Brazil economy around in in 2004 was an Elementary school graduate.
President Ronald Reagan barely graduated from Eureka college in Illinois with a 2.0 average. Why do we Ghanaians so obsessed with degrees?

Nana Akuffo Addo has a record as a Politician for more than 35 years and nobody has ever accused him of being corrupt, can you say the same thing about Mahama who even when he was the Vice President, President Mills set up a committee to investigate his for inflating the prices of planes he bought on behalf of the country?

What you are saying is that, you don't go by facts but you go by who the writer is. What a sad day for our country.
Whatever you said about Ouattara education and Akuffo Addo's, it does not make a difference. President Carter, (USA 1976-1980) is one of the best educated United States President but he failed as a President.
Coming to Ghana, Busiah was the best educated Ghanaian and the first tenured Professor at Oxford, likewise Limann got his Ph.D at the best France University and Atta Mills too had an educational resume to kill for but as Presidents, they did not exemplify themselves.
A good President is the one who sees himself or herself as not the custodian of intelligence but surround himself with the people with technical know how of the various agencies under the government and keep an eye like a hawk on his appointees and relieve those underperforming.
Education is good but education alone cannot tell how one is going to do as a leader.

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 interpretative thing, not factual. You should not confuse the two. Who Gabby is does not affect the facts on the ground but it affects the interpretations we make of those facts and the predictions we make based on them.
I have stated categorically that I know that educational achievement is no guarantee of successful leadership. So your examples of Carter and Busia and Limann are uncalled for. I never even said Akufo's 3rd class will make him a bad leader. I cited that fact as one of the differences between him and Ouattara.
Note, too, that nothing in my argument can be interpreted as meaning Mahama is a good leader or is doing well. If you ask me of Mahama, I will tell you that he and his gang of cronies are hopeless and doing badly. But, CARDINAL, this fact does not mean that Akufo-Addo would be a better leader at a future date in time. Mahama's poor performance today is not a predictor of Akufo-Addo's performance at a future date.

Whilst other governments and parties manufacture development for their peoples, the NDC manufactures calamities and propaganda.

Ochere-Darko can mask his hypocrisy and stupid comments all he wants but the kettle is and will still be black at the end of the day.
The differences between what Quattara has and can do in Ivory Coast and what Mahama can do in Ghana are too numerous to list but I'll list a few. Gabby and all the NPP zealots who see some enlightenment or wisdom in this trash of a write up he, Gabby, has posted must start realizing what cultured losers do in Ivory Coast. The people who opposed Quattara came from the Christian majority who did not want to see a Muslim leader in power. Even after all the troubles, the Christian majority have come to accept the loss at the polls/ballot. Does this sound familiar? The NPP lost Ghana's 2012 election and have chosen to stoop to gutter level politics which the Christian majority in Ivory Coast would not stoop to because even in Ivory Coast they realize how stupid Ghanaians can be looking at how we smuggle cocoa from Ghana to sell in their country to elevate Ivory Coast to the cocoa production leadership status. Can you Ochere-Darko tell me where these cocoa farmers come from and or which political party in Ghana they are more likely to have membership?
Claiming to be a CEO of a meaningless consulting group in the UK will never cover the funk that emanate from your tribal based partisan driven articles neither will tribal politics help Ghana move forward. It is precisely your lack of intellectual capacity and or intellectual honesty that continues to blind you even with a simple comparative assessment between the positive changes in Ivory Coast and the chaos in Ghana brought on by NPP activities. You are yet to learn Gabby; in Ghana we say small boys are young. Go sit on it.

How can this illiterate even say that those who smuggle cocoa to Ivory Coast are more likely to be Npp members? Western and Brong Ahafo that shares border with Ivory Coast voted for Ndc and this Abeeku idiot whose ancestors sold Ghana to the colonial masters cheaply by accepting butter and gin.
Moron, tell your supported Ndc government to pay the right price to cocoa farmers and nobody will smuggle cocoa to Ivory Coast.

... the degree or class you have is no guarantee of your performance as a leader. I know that which is why I stated that class A or Z may be irrelevant in judging (or predicting) an individual's future performance as a leader ...

"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.
And, reading over my initial input again ...

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

Monika you are shallow minded. Did you read all the contents of the article. You are a waste of space, grow up fool.
Nana will never be president even if Ouatara rules at the age of 95. Get a better Job Gabby. I thought you have risen above Ghana politics. Foolish Gabby
Is insult all that you can muster?
If you have wisdom bring it on, otherwise hush it up!!

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.
Did Kwame Nkrumah "improve"/develop Western Region? Stop this nonsense!
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 ...

Yes. Burkina exports FOODSTUFFS to Ghana and yet we claim our "north" is too poor with bad climate and have been doling out money to bring them to par.

YES OUATTARA HAS VISION:HE IS FOCUSED AS COMPARED TO THE ARMED ROBBERS OF GHANA WHO CAME TO LOOT:
Who are these armed robbers? Please, watch the language you use, ok? We don't need any empty headed kind of comments, ok? Think before you write, please!!!
Ouattara is doing well because he is a visionary and sensitive to the plights of his people.Surely Côte d'Ivoire will overtake in terms of economic growth.Everything is now politicised in Ghana.No wonder we are where are now ...

Of course Ivory Coast will do well all because the late Houphet Boigny who ruled for so many years as a one party president laid a solid economic foundation for the nation.What happened to Osagyefo? He was hounded,bombed and ...

Describing somebody as a Fanti foodian has again exposed your tribal and hypocritical mindset.You dare not criticize your GOD,Asantehene.Can you?
I think it behooves on you to reason with this writer. Everything in the article is true. We have a president who is so visionless, so incompetent and dull who cannot even inspire a fly. Mahama is not ready to be president it ...
