The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwasi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwasi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwasi Prat can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Prat and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratts recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Patt has the gut to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

“We have taken note of the call for modesty, humility, efficiency, decency but more importantly; dynamism and moving away from business as usual"
Modesty, humility, and decency are what the NDC have preached in the past 4 years but have managed to deliver mediocrity, incompetence, inefficiency, and underperformance
It is no wonder, Ghanaians are going to enjoy the same dose again.

Akan is probably the oldest race on earth, they came from far far away. Their footprints can be find all over (not only in Africa)i.e. Middle East, Mesopotamia.We are Hebrew-Aramaic folk of Jewish religion and culture.The first Akan was the son of Ezer, the son of Seir the Horite, the first foreign conqueror of Egypt. The second Akan was a descendant of Juda and the third, a descendant of Gad, all belonged to the twelve tribes of Israel. Akan folk in this sense, are made up of Isreal-Edomites, Twi (Tawi/Egyptians) and Babylonians.

Through the ages Akans established various kingdoms from the Mesopotamia to Kush, Egypt, Nubia and on to the formation of the Ghana Empire and Akan Kingdoms in West Africa today. The ancient Ghana empire (present day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali) was the final settlement of the Akan people before migrating to present day Ghana and Ivory Coast. We are the founders of the Ghana empire and not settlers. The Ghana empire was the first West-African kingdom and the richest kingdom on earth at that time.The invasion of the Amoravid brought the Islamic religion. The invasion and the forced imposition of Islam, made our ancestors resist the newcomers, since they refused to accept Islam and wanted to keep their Akan religion. After heavy warfare, they moved to present day Ghana and Ivory Coast in order to avoid constant warfare and to get the peace needed for their farming ventures.
