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

Author:-Patriot... Who is an NPP supporter? Anybody who is against the ideals of the party cannot be a supporter of the party! Afoko, for instance, cannot be a loyal NPP member. He is, in fact, an idiot. How can he claim to be the chairman of a group which has decided to relieve you him of the posiotion? So what meetings is he going to chair? Everybody is surprised how the NPP party a;;owed themselves to be taken for a ride by this idiot and his collaborator, Kwabena Agyepong! Just get rid of them and allow the party to operate

Any person of a sound mind could have stepped down as a chairman after the death of the Upper West NPP Regional Chairman Mahama Adams. It was the best line of action to show the family that you cared so much of what had fallen on them by your own brother. Unfortunately, you were so selfish that you continued to hold to the chairmanship with no shame. All these actions show you are just big for nothing. In short, there is nothing in your brain. Certainly, NPP will be better without you. Find somewhere to hide yourself till further notice.

HiGeorge,
I know you are NDC follower or sympathizer otherwise dio you really think Afoko is anyone with the interest of NPP at heart? He sure is a mole planted by NDC and well funded. This is not somebody ready to rescue Ghana from the grips of corrupt NDC. Ghanaians would one day vote NDC out but that would be an opportunity lost because they would have caused much harvoc to the nation. I fully support Rockson. This guy is an NDC mol funded by Asiedu Nketia. That is all they know with their ewe cronies.

All along you have forgotten that this gentleman Afoko was legally elected by the majority of the NPP delegates at the congress. I do not know from where you drew the conclusion that majority of the members who elected him do not like him any more. It was an open secret at the congress that due to the previous manhandle of Afoko by the able men of Nana in 2007, there was no way the two could work together should both be elected. Nana tried as much as he could to thwart Afoko's chances, but that didn't work; the people went ahead and voted for him. To cast out doubt and to truly confirm the people are no longer comfortable with Afoko as the Chairman, the wisest thing to me, was for the so-called Executive members of the two bodies holding the party to call for an emergency congress. Not only are the people going to renew their support for Mr. Afoko and or Kwabena Agyekpong alone, but all those who were elected at the congress. It is only, there and then, we shall see those who shall sail through. To me, Afoko's suspension was an uncompleted agenda at the last congress.
