The President was drawing attention to the affected english of our people in the UK. The ain’ it, ain’ it can sometimes be too much. If Ghanaians in the US speaks like Kofi Wayo we’re quick to condemn them. Mahama deliberately makes such moments fun and brings himself to the ordinary person’s level.

Obviously you dont know the different types of English accents in England alone.
Perhaps the girl spoke cockney while I know for sure the prime minister and King speak received or the Queens English.
Posh English is clearer and closer to what you will hear on GTV or the BBC which epitomizes the accent.
If I throw you some geordie (Liverpool accent) u go ron. As for scotland and yorkshire too be another level.

Shut up you idiot. The young girl didn’t speak cockney. Do you know cockney English? Her language was distinctly clear. Stop defending every nonsense. Why are some Ghanaians so foolish? No wonder. Anything to do with school, like free education, English language and courtesy exhibited by young children is disliked by NDC. Modi3 Gyimie ne nkwaseasem nkoaaaaaa. Mo ho fiiiiiiiii.

@ Twea DC. Some of you, your comments only reveal the dark hole where you come from, your lack of both education and exposure and with all of these combined, the Party you are associated with. Didn't the typical accent of the young beautiful lady remind us all of the former President? Hahaha!

President Mahama is way too smart and above all of you. What he did in those few moments that was captured in the clip, was not only to inform Ghanaians in the Diaspora to mind the quality of their communication amongst Ghanaians in general, create humor and affection for himself, his govt and the nation and also proved to the global audience how our leadership interacts with ordinary people in a democratic and genial manner.

I challenge you to name one leader in the entire global community who can outdo Mahamas performance in that clip.

You,Oblense Mbedwo, rather are the idiot ALCOHOLIC nincompoop. The Lady didn't know that you have to speak slowly in whatever language you express yourself when you ask a question or try to get an important messages across to an audience.
President Mahama had the kindness to try to let the lady understand this simple principle but with her stupid wig on her head her brains could not work correctly enough to get the President's message.

Ofui, think a little next time, if you ever can, before insulting President Mahama.

It's so sad that some section of Ghanaians hate John Mahama. This President is so calm, humble and have respect for other people, yet he is the most hated person in Ghana. British English is hard to understand. The accent is crazy and if one doesn't speak slower, hardly to understand. I live in the US and the English here is so easy for most people to understand.

The communicators of the British govt know that Mahama and all Africans and their leaders are NOT British natives, so when they communicate with them, they take time to speak and almost avoid unnecessarily 'big' words.

Have you listened to King Charles or the British High Commissioner speaking in public before, either in UK or abroad? Even a primary school child in Ghana can hear him clearly and understand almost the words.

That is the power of communication: not a display of fluency in a language, but make your listener hear and understand what your are saying.

So the problem of Ghanaians aka Ghana-nians is the presence of Chinese and Nigerian traders in Ghana, it was published couple of days ago by the AfDB that 70% of Nigerian businesses and industries run on generators yet they are able to produce cheaper and superior goods than those produced in Ghana which has electricity.

China has mastered the act of low cost production of goods for the world which they have been doing for the past 300yrs

You may be right somehow.

She was either born and lived in Ghana and moved to the UK some years back, or born in the UK and lives in area where the accent differs from any of the the typical Londoner accents we know of.

That’s our President for you! A humble and down-to-earth leader who has made the presidency feel more accessible and relatable to ordinary Ghanaians. It’s refreshing to see a President who can share a laugh with the people and bring moments of joy and connection. These simple gestures make many Ghanaians feel proud and appreciated, reminding us that leadership can be both dignified and human.
