Socrates in the 4th century BC or thereabouts said very skeptical of democracy that it would pay dearly. The poor will want the wealth of the wealthy and democracy will give it to them.The youth will want be respected like the old achievers with experience, women will want to be like men,foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy will make this possible. Thieves and con men will want positions of importance and democracy will also give that to them .When thieves and con artists finally democratically gain power as criminals and evil men have a urge always to gain power we will have a tyranny worse than any monarchy or oligarchy unquote. This all evident in the pndc /ndc govt today including the perverse leanings towards inter-gender role exchanges and promotion of homosexuality.Thus Winston Churchill said that democracy is the "worst form of government," just better than all the others. the problem Plato has with democracy in the Republic is not the absence of the rule of law but just the fact that the wrong people are in power-people without the proper virtues or integrity.Development pepeni omanhene says is unequaled on his watch, and i ask what is the meaning? Is it the total uselessness , or insignificance , level of plaigatory theft of projects, corruption kick backs or the benefits his kleptomaniac brothers and cronies have acquired , the level of prejudice of against anything that can benefit Akan areas or people . Pepeni has borrowed and created more debt than all the previous presidents before him combined including Nkrumah yet we dont see any results such as the attempts of raising any basic or primary industry to add some value to our natural resources before export that creates jobs for millions as Nkrumah and all presidents except for pepeni and JJ tried to. What is unequaled is the billions that have been siphoned out of the country mainly to Islamic destinations like Iran , Dubai and Turkey. He boasts about the nonexistent 200 schools yet forgets over a century ago Akans mainly Fantes built schools that today would each cost no less than 20 million each. He offers markets and toilets as if the local community could not do so themselves if the taxes and various levies collected in those areas remained there. But no pepeni/ayigbe must chop bribe together with their Gas Adas and other satellite allies against the Akans. A govt whose members are selected not based on competence but their level of hate or prejudice against the Akan majority or the family blood ties to pepeni mahama can never serve anybody except their selfish selves and will always fail. The success or failure of any business , govt or social enterprise is determined by the personnel or cadre who execute the defined goals. In our case we need a govt selected based on merit and experience to get us out of this vicious circle of poverty and bad luck , so i would expect to see at least 3 investment bankers , 4 engineers , 2 macro economists and one doctor of project management and that govt with people of integrity will surely have results in less than a year. Competent Ghanaian all decline to associate themselves with NDC and their corruption driven govt.Pepeni went to mislead the chiefs to use festivals to promote market and project development but omitted to tell them no project has made it through the finance ministry without paying an arm and a leg in bribes , talk less of the cabinet or parliamentary committees. Mafias dont need economists or bankers but rather opt for book keepers or accountants like we see in our minister of finance being shadowed spied and watched by pepeni's cousin chief director Alajih Major Tara. Look at former minister of state for development now minister of science technology with his dentist of army qualification Alajih Dr Mustafa Ahmed and tell me he is capable of contributing something good except positioning himself to collect bribes. None of this will ever end up in Ghanian media or newspapers as NDC ( mainly Ga /Ada) activists now holding national security id s go around intimidating the journalists ,editors and owners of these establishments. We know the motive for these useless utterances by pepeni as his strategy ids to hoodwink the people into believing so much has been done for development , with roads , schools etc but notice there is no railway , no health services with modern ambulances including helicopters , fire services lack fighting water tank planes or helicopters talk less of specialized fire fighting equipment as not all will pay bribes , no initiation of any strategically important industry . Just get ready for the whirlwind of propaganda and lies saying the empty projects with no direction is what we couldn't do ourselves so they did. No self respecting intellectual worth his wait will throw pearls of wisdom before this pepeni/ayigbe swine . These idiotic ndc will always blame the Akans privately or npp publicly for making them fail or the country ungovernable but in reality they just don't know how , jj failed and so will they in their tribalistic hegemony. Yes rig the elections a thousand times and each time you will fail abysmally .Let them continue to adorn themselves with vainglorious titles of esteem or positions of influence and power but as the coat doesn't make the man so all this will eventually end up in their own failure and misery BULLSHIT GALORE

OH MY GOD, WHO LET THE DOG OUT? DR AHOOFE IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME NO HEAR. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME? IT HAS JUST BEEN CONFIRMED BY A RELAIBLE SOURCE THAT YOU WERE INDISPOSABLE AND NOW REGULARLY TAKING YOUR
MEDICATIONS. VERY ASSURING THAT YOU'RE TAKING THEM REGULARLY. I DON'T MEAN THE 'one man thousand medication' FROM TAFO MARKET. PLEASE DON'T GO FOR THOSE TYPES OF MEDICATIONS. THEY HAVE NO EMPERICAL EVIDENCE BASE AND THE EFFICACY, VERY DOUBTFULL AND MEDICALLY UNIMPRESSIVE. WELCOME BACK TO THE FORUM. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS AND I BELIEVE YOU'LL RESTRAINT YOURSELF FROM INSULTS, ABUSES AND THE USE OF MONOSYLLABIC AND POLYSYLLABIC VOCABLES IN YOUR REPLY TO MY QUESTIONS. YOU SEE, WHEN ONE SPEAKS A LANGUAGE AND USE WORDS WHICH THE OTHER PERSON DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THEN IT IS NO COMMUNICATION. IT BECOMES A WASTE AND MEANINGLESS. AND IT MEANS YOU ARE TALKING TO YOURSELF. SO MY QUESTION IS DR-
WHY DO YOU LIKE USING BIG AND ANTI-QUATED AND OBSELET VOCABULARIES?
1, WHY DO YOU INSULT AND INCITE TRIBAL HOSTILITY?. IS THIS YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL WAY OF FEELING GOOD IN YOURSELF AND SUPERIORITY FOR YOUR EGOTISTICAL MIND? A FORM OF -MENTAL MECHANISM PERHAPS?
2. INTERESTING FOR YOU AND YOUR LOTS IN NPP TO NOW CALL THOSE FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF GHANA -'YOUR NORTHERN BROTHERS' AND YOUR ATTEMPT TO CREATE ATTENTION TO YOUR LINK WITH THE NORTHERNERS. THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE YOUR GROUP AND NPP RATHER CALL THEM BY THE DERROGATORY WORD- 'pepeni or pepe fo'! HAVE YOU CHECKED ON THE COMMENTS BY YOUR URSULA AND CO. AS REGARDING THE NORTHERNERS?
I AM SURE YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT DOMBO AND OTHER NORTHERNERS WERE WELL LEADING THE NLM WHICH LATER BECAME POPULAR INTO UNITED PARTY(UP)i.e- 'ma te me ho' DON'T FORGET THAT YOUR UNCLE J.B DANQUAH IN ACTUAL FACT HIJACKED THE PARTY TO BECOME POPULAR AS THE LEADER AND GOT MOVED ASIDE THE NORTHERN LEADERSHIP IN A PERFEDIOUS WAY!
3. WELL AT LEAST THE ANLOS ALWAYS MAINTAIN THEIR ROOTS TO NOTSIE. WHAT ABOUT YOUR AKYEM TRIBE AND CLANS( AKYEM KOTOKU, AKYEM BOSOME AND AKYEM ABUAKWA?) COULD YOU TELL IS YOUR ROOTS? WE KNOW THE ASANTES SAY THEY COME FROM A HOLE BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHICH DARK HOLE THEY COME FROM AND FROM WHICH GEOGRAPHICAL REGION AND DURING THE NORMANDIC ERA OF MANKIND?. THE AHANTA, FANTE, AKWAPEMS, KWAHUS, BRONG AHAFO(BONOS) AND YOU THE AKYEMS THOUGH YOU ALL ACKNOWLEDGE YOURSELVES AS AKANS NEVER SAY YOU COME FROM A HOLE. IT WOULD BE A GOOD CHALLENGE FOR THE ARDHEOLOGISTS AN ANTHOPOLOGIST TO FIND THAT DARK HOLE!!
4. YOU MENTION THE NATIONAL INSURANCE AS KUFUOR'S INITIATIVE BUT SADLY, YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS SERVICE YOURSELF TO GIVE ANY EVIDENCE BASED TESTIMONY APART FROM WHAT YOU READ IN THE PAPERS SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN IN US FOR ALL THIS LONG AND HAVE BECOME WHAT IS TERMED AS ' airport sociologist' ( i.e academics who go on sabbatical to places like Africa and would stay in their hotels, never miss with the people but would look through their hotel windows and then write textbooks on the people and claim authority on the lives-sociology of the people)
OH, HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE KUFUOR GOLD CHAIN( self crown of self like the late Bokassa and his cohorts with gold chain awards at the massive expense of the tax payer) EX GRATIA, HOTEL WAWA, DRILLING SHIP, STATE MONEY IN RENOVATING HIS PRIVATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY BUT STILL USED THE PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCES? SURELY THIS MONEY COULD BE USED IN SAY, BUILDING OR IMPROVING HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES AND AMMENITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITIES? COME AGAIN, DR AHOOFE. DR IAM SURE MY ENGLISH IS GOOD ENOUGH TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING SO I AM CONFIDENT I DON'T NEED ANY ENGLISH LESSON. JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. THAN YOU.

It is unfortunate that formal education has produced illiterates like Kwame Ahoofe. Does this man know that npp has a party office at Ketu South. In case he knows; who are the people manning this office? Togolese or Ghanaians? Are they registered voters? Bawumia and Nana are asking voters from Ketu south to vote for them and at the same time calling the same people Togolese. These people including the illiterate Kwame Ahoofe need psychaitric attention. Bawunmia, Nana and Ahoofe check yourselves in the mirror and come again. As for Nana he is a Hitler in the making but his head would make a Good calabash. Goossh!!!!

Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe kindly tell us an Akan settlement in the Greater Accra Region. Tell us also that Akan leader who sacrifice for this country to put up a monument not in his name but in the name of this country apart from Nkrumah, Acheampong and members of the CPP. The majority of Ewhe and Gha intellectuals are not into trading, thus the destruction of the Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation was not in their interest, so also is the destruction of the Farmers Brigade, Rice and Chicken industry. It is the families of Nana Akufo-Addo who import chicken and Harkman Owusu Agyemang who import sugar who have interest in the destruction of state and private enterprises that are in the production sector in the interest of selling what is produced elsewhere.
Take a look at those who go to other places to buy and sell in Ghana and never make effort to establish factory in Ghana and you will notice that the majority are Akans.
Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe I am sure that your memories have not deserted you, thus you can remember what is Apollo 568, min ti mi wari Ayigbeni in Busia's PP campaign in 1968 and 1969. John Kufuor's dismissal of Ewhes, Ghas and Nfantis from public service in 2001, Kennedy Agyapong's call for killing of Ewhes and Ghas in 2012, Nana Akufo-Addo's we Akanfo and Osafo Marfo statement that people from regions without natural resources should not hols executive position in Ghana. That reminds us of Kwabena Agyepong saying in December 2008 that there are no human beings in the Volta Region.
It is a shame that a party that has for generations has practiced Ewhe phobia coming to say that Ewhes hate members of other tribes.
We are well aware that Akans bought slaves from Norther Ghana forcefully crossed them with their own wives so that their children could become taller, since the majority of Akans being dwellers of the forest are short. So it is no secret that the biological fathers of most Akan are from Northern Ghana.
It is also a fact that those men from the North were murdered as soon as those Akans got their tall children from them. That goes further to prove that an Akan extreme tribalist is not a person to be trusted because he will use you and later so away with you like a rag. Busia proved that and Kufuor followed suit.
As for calling Ewhes Etroxovi or Etrokoshi people it is like a boy who dimwit and quarrelsome insulting the female organ of the others mother, which seems to suggest that his mother does not have organs. Religion is a form of human consciousness and as well a right protected under UN Conventions. If some religions should be banned then it is rather the Abram religions which have murdered, maimed and enslaved millions of people.
