    Akufo Addo nkwasiasem.. Have the defunct capital bank customers been paid? Essien still remains a thief!

  • TRUTH STANDS 11 months ago

    Akuffo Addo, the 3rd class and certificate less lawyer is a curse to Ghana. He is evil and shameless. He is just enjoying his last hour in office as a president by abusing his discretion.

  • Akufo-Addo. Hands soaked With Innocent Blood 11 months ago

    @Stephano.Akufo-Addo is mean. He is a pig. If he elects himself into an NPP partisan guinea-pig; to steal, loot and murder, he must dance to it. Strip his immunity. Tie him to the stakes. To face firing squad. ASAP!

  • As Kutu Descendant, I Weep! NanaAddo Must Go 11 months ago

    Brothers & Sisters, Head of State Acheampong, stood bold and took bullets. Yet, he Did No Wrong! He over-fed us, instead; with his Op Feed Yourself.Why is this idiot concealing undercover? Hiding his Testicles? Go, He Must!

  • He who Kills by the Sword, Must Die by the Sword 11 months ago

    I bet you Frank Agyena-Karikari Rawlings house cleaning exercise was the best thing the country has ever had, why if you don't clean your dirty home Agyena-Karikari,you will become filthy all the time ok?

  • FRANKIE 11 months ago

    Here comes another opportunity for Agyena karikari, the incorrigible and unrepentant caveman to latch unto his favourite pastime - tribal bigotry to subtly attack a decomposed cadaver. Your bile will kill you. Puta madre!

  • Nana 11 months ago

    Scottish bastard late JJ Rawlings has hurt Ayigbes so much..Only few Ayigbes benefited from his regime but the harm he caused them is irredeemable. It will take yrs for other tribes to accept Ewes.

  • Dzakpata to Frank Agyene-Karikari 11 months ago

    Your Chimpanzee Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, claims himself as a Human Rights' Activist. Like his false degrees, he does not discern his titles. So he kills innocent peo0le, including 14 year old girls withoit remorse.

  • Dzakpata to Frank Agyene-Karikari 11 months ago

    Junior Jesus noticed too much filth every where. So by popular revolt, he led a House Cleaning campaign.
    Through that you Agyene, breathed clean air. Up until your chimp re-inserted Akyem mafia filth. Go,read and learn

    The reason why Africa remains impoverished and unable to free itself from the rot of corruption is because Africans don't take punishment seriously. When the developed world is building new prisons, we are trying to squash in ...

  • Dzakpata to Joe. Crooks can be subdued. 11 months ago

    In fact, Akufo Addo is a Criminal Mobile Van.
    The Van is Fiitted with Stool(VFwS), BoG cash box in attendance. To secure, bolster and show off NPP (criminal) philosophy, deep into communties and households.
