##NDC GALAMSEY PROPAGANDA HAS BACKFIRED MASSIVELY ON THEM!!!!
WHAT IS NDC DORMAAHENE TRYING TO TELL US??? THE GOLDEN STOOL WAS WELDED??? ASBAH!!! THIS IS TYPICAL NDC REASONING!!!! WE ALL KNOW GOD’S POWER IS INFINITE. WE RECOGNIZE GOD’S OMNIPOTENCE BUT THERE IS BIBLICAL RECORD OF PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS CHALLENGING OR REPLICATING THE SIGNS GOD PERFORMED THROUGH MOSES AND AARON. THE REFERENCES ARE; EXODUS 7:10-12, EXODUS 7:20-22, EXODUS 8:6-7. THE MAGICIANS SUCCESSFULLY IMITATED/REPLICATED THE FIRST 3 SIGNS OF SERPENT, BLOOD & FROGS. THE NAMES OF THE PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS ARE GIVEN AS JANNES AND JAMBRES IN TIMOTHY 3:8-9 WHEN PAUL MADE REFERENCE TO THIS BIBLICAL RECORDS. IT IS, THEREFORE, NOT SURPRISING IF WE HAVE IN ASHANTI/GHANAIAN HISTORY THAT OKOMFO ANOKYE COMMANDED THE GOLDEN STOOL. SOME OF THE THINGS HE DID THROUGH HIS POWERS ARE STILL PRESERVED IN AWUKUGUA, AKUAPIM MOUNTAINS. DORMAAHENE CAN GO THERE AND VERIFY!!!! LONG LIVE GHANA!!! LONG LIVE OUR UNITY!!!

Hahahaha. Nkrumah allowed J.B Danquah who had gone blind while in Prison die there. As for Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings, only God knows where he made B.B Bismarck die and where he was buried. Rawlings was just a horrible man and an evil monster. It is good that Covid humiliated and killed him. Yes, and Boakye Djan also died lonely and miserably. I want to know how the Tsikatas will also die. As for Konadu who had to be obeyed, she is wallowing in misery and loneliness. It serves her right. Yes, Asiedu Nketsia now controls her husband’s Party and she has been sidelined.

That single act of cruelty by late JJ Rawlings on Nana Osae Ntifu (Bismarck) of Aburi is the reason why they hate him.Bismarck's death was horrible than those who died in the Helicopter crash.His family couldn't get his body.

Did Atta Ayi kill anybody? Not sure whether he was a violent armed robber. There is no reason why he cannot be released to report himself to the police weekly if he did not kill anyone. In Ghana Rawlings and other killed even heads of state and still were considered good enough not only to walk the streets but become President. See what happened to rawlings, they say Addo killed him, if he did then he deserves the highest honour of the state because the most evil juju man head of state was put to the sword by him.

Among the 87 death row inmates some may be innocent but anyone on death row must have committed a serious crime so at least some of them will be dangerous even if 10 or 15 bringing them back to the society.

Ato Essien should have been considered for pardon by the president and his council of elders.
Ghanaians have been aware that Ato was sick in jail and has been seeking medical treatment. He should have been granted a medical pardon. More over Ato was making restitution prior to his incarceration and he has refunded a chunk of the misappropriated money . That effort alone was worth considering. One notable pastor was also involved in a misappropriation of bank funds but he was not made to account for it and he is walking as a free man . NAM has scammed a lot of customers some of whom committed suicide but yet still , the state is playing a ping -pong with his case . Justice must be applied equally to everyone to justify its blindness.

iF it is not too alarming, why will grow ups who go seek for more money that they did not work for becomes an instrument to prosecute another. can the law prosecute a wee buyer who lose his money because the wee seller runaway? Is money laundry a crime against both parties involved or the other party who set it up. Yes I agree the woman must somehow be stop but the case from law breakers themselves should not be upheld by the court. This is because the little law i did teaches me that anyone who want equity must come with clean hands. Was the idea of they going to enrich themselves illegaly clean and not a crime. Ghana judges i need help to understand this well.if they want to clean the system then both the giver and the receiver must be punished.
