And yet Jack Toronto will pound his chest like an orangutan claiming to have transformed Ghana. His kid brother is even worse.

This is not true it’s a big lie, go to Nigeria and Burkina Faso and see real poverty due to cost of living, prostitution iin Lagos alone is something else thousand’s of ladies on the streets 24/7 selling their body to survive, Ghana is a lot better than many west African countries . Go to Gambia and others and see we are lucky in Ghana if you don’t travel around you might think Ghana is the only country whose citizens are suffering no way we’ve seen worse.

Ah beg leave Gambia out of this. It's the smallest nation in Africa,it's cost of living is low, rent, light, food, people share water from their sources freely not sold. You can buy good residential land for the equivalent of 35000 cedis, farmland even cheaper. You don't know Gambia.

You animals are always quick to tag Nigeria in your misfortune. I can bet your illiterate ass has never been to Nigeria. Fool is claiming prostitution in streets. Nigeria economy is bad as it is, but still the cost of living isn’t as worse as your tiny country. Y’all can keep lying to yourselves and continue to wallow in your misfortune

Nana akufo addo, Dr Bawumia and npp have brought us to this level, greed corruption and wickedness of npp Ghanaians people are wallowing in poverty. When Ghana is far better than some of the countries but because of greed, selfishness, hypocrisy and corruption Ghanaians are suffering and times are hard under Nana akufo addo and Dr Bawumia government. Ghana has been rank 3rd most highest cost of living country in west Africa.

Is it a good thing to be happy with high cost of living? By the way our economy now is better than Nigeria and that's all we proud with. Cedis is so strong that when l took it to Nigeria, l had a lot of Naira after changing it there. I love the progress of the country, Ghanaians keep it up. I love Ghana over that country Nigeria as we speak.

You are part of the reason why Ghana is retrogressing. You are the type who will support your brother even if he commits crime by not even calling police. Come to united Kingdom and the big nations in the world. Boris Johnson messed up and his own party members stood against him and made him retired. Now Joe Bidens own party members are tagging him with memory issues and thinking he should take a memory test to see if he's capable of leading them. Look at how ghana economy was booming under J A Kufour before NDC took over? I remember that time USA president Obama came to Ghana and was edging Africa to learn from Ghana. Within the 4 years NDC took over we were in IMF seeking bail out. Do you think Mahama would have been better managing Ghana economy in a global crisis affecting even the so called developed country if he couldn't manage a booming economy? I have been in United Kingdom for 15 years and first time in the past 2 years I have seen uncountable strikes, people resulting to food banks and charities to feed their families. Ask yourself this question since you started supporting NDC, what policies can you name that NDC has introduced that has had any effect on you? All the policies and social interventions that has been seen in Ghana are by NPP even if its been hard to implement, at least they are ambitious, positive and wants to help Ghana developed. All we keep hearing is NDC saying its not achievable. They come and what's is there to improve Ghana, they destroy it for example, one time premium and the rest. Now Mahama is talking about 24hrs economy, is this a policy when you even fighting digitalisation when people can trade 24/7 online? Ask yourself those market women who sells in the market with their own business? Is that woman with family going to stay in the market for 24/7 or who takes over when she's gone home to care for her family? Look at transportation systems in Ghana to get people to work around midnight and stuff? We Ghanaians needs to know explanation as to what he's going to do to make the 24 hours economy possible because there are already few things running 24 hours in Ghana like applying for passports which I did for my family, money transfers which I usually do all 24hrs so if you say its not compulsory then what it is that you talking about because already its not compulsory and few things are running 24/7. Ghana needs to move to digitalisation and that's the way forward for this generation and future generations and that's where the world is going. This can prevent corruption. If I can pay my tax directly to government online without anyone visiting me in my shop to take money when we don't know whether the government receives all the money collected then its the way forward. UK everything is paid to institutions directly online or various trusted alternatives. Nobody comes to my shop to ask me for money. Its time this generation learns and chose visionary government than those propaganda governments Ghana keeps electing. I'm not saying NPP are angels but NDC is the worse alternative we've got and offers nothing better. Infact their vision for our future generations is not in existence. To bring them to power again, I will edge Ghanaians to maintain NPP or try alternative and see what they've got.

Well written. I've not read a good comment on Ghanaweb in a very long time till I saw yours. Always insults, tribal and religious attacks.

We don't do enough, claiming to be the farmers we are not. Tomatoes, cattle, goats, onions, beans etc all come from Burkina Faso and other land lock countries. Only subsistence farming that can hardly take care of domestic families. Its the middle belt of Ghana that is producing food to take care of this country. Spending too much time on politics with its attendance drain on government budget/ resources. Mother Ghana, where are we heading towards??
