When he went to the UN for te first time to address the world body President Mahama,out of the blues, mentioned the unfair treatment of the Palestinians in his speech. One would think a young president would exercise prudence to weigh implications and depth of acrimony he was sowing. This action is an added folly to his eyebrow raiser speech. It does the nation little credit.

Why would GH. even do bussiness with Iran? This country is pushing for the distruction of the world. Why would we sale our minerals to them ? There are two facts the people of Ghana needs to know by now;
1. Tthis Iranians Ayeahtolas wants to convert their stolen cash into gold now so why do we Ghan suppot or encourage these stupid habits?
2.these bustards need hard metals, like gold and uranium, to strengthening their nonesense nuclar ideas, so why do we indulge in these metal business with them?
These fudermentalsit are going to use this minerals, to build up their crazy Nuclare shite and used them note western nations and on Ghana in the near feauture.
Ghana it's about time to stop this gold trading with this crazy nation.
Look at whatis gong on now, You so call Brothe Mumuahs Gadafi, used all his nation stolen money to beef up him self with ammunition of which he hardly used and now what is happening with this guns and a munitions? They are te pill up this turigs are using now to torment Mali and North Africa.
So who born dog? Why do you even talk with this crazy persian, Arab nation?
Eh! People of 1957 think twice for you nation just celebrated it's 50ys a while ago.
Think about going west for the best always comes from the west.
Think about development, think about computerizing your nation, think about EMPLOYEMENT for the average Ghanian. Or Iran would take you for a walk.
What happend to the so call emperor Bucasa? What happend to the so call Mobutu seseseko.
Think of more of those.
Let the gold stay with turkey, if you have nothing better of important to do with.
GOD BLESS GHANA GOD BLESS THE BLACK STAR OF HOPE. let us always remmember the meaning of the red, gold,( gold, gold, the gold corlor) and all our greens.

I have always believe that this man Mahama is the most criminally corrupt person Ghanaian would vote into power after our independence which others painfully shed their lives with their blood for our freedom.

How the STX housing deal failed is still a mistreal and I wrote from the day one that here that, the STX was a con plan and indeed the housing project which attracted huge publicity even though heavily pregnated was never born.

Now we come the NDC master criminal Woyome's madness payment yet with this same Mahama as Vice President who saw that the money was criminally pay for no work done. Why should Woyome a known criminal be given red carpet in the Mahama's government as if he is an official and Woyome darring to give warnings to the "almighty Rawling" and again gave warning to Mahama to if some unscrupulous within the NDC are not given appointments with impunity.

Mahama like Rawlings is playing it cool whilst he is the real master criminal behind all the dubious crimes committed whilst Mills was alive and I strongly believe Mills death was a plan.

Why won't Mahama's first visit as President won't be to our financial donor supporters like U.K, America, Sweden or France but to an unknown Turkey just to go as a President himself to beg for the release of a plane caught for carring criminal cargo with dubious and false documentation originating from mother Ghana. The people's gold!

They and their supporters do not take kindly to any constructive criticism. According to them they dont need any advice because they are never wrong; they are perfect and if you point out any blatant actions that are not in the best interest of Ghana they respond by blaming NPP for everything.

The sad part of our new democracy is that all the other so called political parties are all mute and their leaders never open their mouths to contribute to the democratic process of asking questions and demanding answers from the government and its actions. That is the job of opposition parties; to keep the government on their toes so they do not abuse power.

I am surprised none of the leaders of political parties have raised any questions about Ghana's gold stuck in Turkey. When one person asks questions about this incident he then is the subject of abuse by some illiterate, ill educated, and ignorant writers on Ghanaweb who only see the interest of the NDC, not Ghana, the only priority in their contributions here.

They must remember that only half of the voting population voted for the NDC and mahama promised to pursue an all inclusive policy. I have not seen any signs of that yet but there is no need for insults and abuse when real issues of concern are being raised in this democracy. It calls for appropriate response not abuse.

There has got to be accountability to the people; an explanation about what is going on with Iran and the gold. The voiciferous Asiedu Nketia, Kofi Pratt, ablakwa Okudzeto, and the communication should come out and speak on this matter in the same manner they will be quick to draw from the hips and shoot their political opponents with their sharp teeth.

What surprises me is that these gold are coming from these southern part of Ghana and these northerners who has nothing but only a shea butter wants to loots our gold but notoriously rigging election in their favour, the truth is God will never let mahama become president that's why they got rid of mills, Ghanaians should beware of Ntafoc ( northerners ) and their dirty politics, they kill others to occupy their position.

TODAY IF YOU VISIT DUBAI AND THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST OR THE WEST, YOU'LL NOTICE ALMOST ALL THE GOLD JEWELLERY SHOPS THERE BELONG TO INDIANS.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE A SINGLE GHANAIAN OWNER OF A JEWELLERY SHOP IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WESTERN WORLD.

MY QUSETION IS WHERE DID THOSE PEOPLE GET ALL THAT GOLD FROM? FROM GHANAIAN CHIEFS, POLITICANS LIKE KONADU AGYEMAN RAWLINGS, THE ASHANTIHENES AND OTHERS.

For the NDC and JDM came to steal, kill and destroy. NPP has come that they may give light n life. Because of the selfish and ethnocentric posture of some region that is claimed to be the world bank of the NDC today orphans and the poor are suffering.
If that region has been voting for the NDC for a long time that does mean they endorse incompetence, corruption and mismanagement?
They have scholars who do not use their brains for national development. Consider Tsatsu Tsikata the ex-convict, they hail him for being crafty and stealing, Dan Abodakpi, Victor Selormey, the infamous Woyome scandal. is worrying that this region will continuously vote to nperpetuate evil acts. OR maybe because they are from Togo and not Ghanaians they simply do not have the nation Ghana at heart. Fellow Ghanaians, lets stand up against this evil agenda and move Ghana forward. God bless Nana Addo, Dr Bawumiah and Ken Agyapong for speaking against corruption and the NDC as evil party.

Yaw, this is not fictional story, I saw it on American tv, specifically NBC. We can't sit down & continue to keep quiet, while the elite crooks continue to milk this nation of its resources. Don't you think our leaders ought to speak out or at least explain to the nation whether this gold was legally transported out to Turkey?

John Dramani Mahamah should be held responsible for the $80 million worth of Gold flown out. Indeed Mahamah and his NDC Party are hardened criminals. I am hereby appealing to the Supreme Court of Ghana to let Justice prevails because the whole world is watching at them. This will help remove the armed robber government of Ghana from post. He is using the same strategy he used to steal our votes to steal our gold, money and properties.

I am hereby bringing to the attention of the World Bank and European Union or whoever is responsible for given loans to Ghanaian authorities to put an end at once because the Nation is never poor. The quantity of the gold means Ghanaians are not poor therefore they do not deserve any loans henceforth.

AT THE LAST UN ASSEMBLY, PRESIDENT MAHAMA CALLED FOR THE REMOVAL OF IRAN SANCTIONS. PLS LETS BE SENSITIVE ABOUT OUR AFFAIRS AND THE IMPLICATIONS IT MIGHT RAIN DOWN ON US. GHANA IS CHANGING ITS ORIGINAL ROUTE OF DOING BUSINESS BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE BETTER TO TRADE WITH IRAN THAN THE US OR EVEN BRITAIN. THEY HAVE AT LEAST CONTRIBUTED TO OUR ECONOMY. I REST MY CASE AND YOU BE YOUR OWN JUDGE. THE WORLD WITH IRAN IS A TREAT TO HUMANITY. THEY WOULD ERASE ISREAL SO THEY SAY.

Why blame NPP or Danquah Institute for the gold robbery.You criticised NPP when in power, you even brought a treasonable charge against an outspoken member of the party.And you criminals think you are above the law.This is the time for Ghananians to voice out their disgust about this gold robbery.The ignorant tribesmen from the north,south,east and west will always support their tribal leaders in politics.Let us not play politics with the lives of the people.Let us not indulge in partisan politics which has destroyed the country.The leaders of all the political parties must stand up and condemn this crime.Democracy does not end when one patry is voted to power.Posterity will judge you if you bury your heads in the sand and say nothing,see nothing, hear nothing and do nothing and behave like the three stupid ignorant monkeys.Ghana,-some of us toiled and our fathers and mothers died so that we could live in dignity,is gone to the dogs.Osagyefo is turning in his grave.
