    I believe you were born after 1990. You don't know what you are talking about. You should thank God for giving mother Ghana someone li JJ.

  • Jay 1 year ago

    @Ked, are you serious? Instead of paying his debts and studying to pass his promotion exams, he chose the stupid coup to cover up what was coming to him. Then, he chose to come back to steal what he couldn’t steal - there w ...

  • Yaw 1 year ago

    At balanced view, I thought you will challenge him and deny the Agyapa deal only for you to admit that the Adgapa deal is true. Then we need to deal with the current wickedness going on and leave the dead alone.

    Wrong, that would be your bomb-throwing anti-Ghanaian Matemaho CIA agents from the Ashanti and Akyem Regions. Nkrumah and JJ's Ghana would have progressed and developed if not for you nation-wreckers.

    Just when NDC launched their campaign, Ghanaweb publish this. This is what I have been telling you; Ghanaweb is now pro Npp , take such stories as diversionary and treat it as such. What sense is in this story?
