Al-haj and Bature, hiding behind press freedom, keep projecting political ambitions and unquenchable greed of The NDC loots before reason and patriotism. Such portraits makes the ghanaian journalist scornful.

For some reason, I never like this guy. I happen to believe that he is a crook. Although I like NPP, I feel some elements should never be allowed to speak for us. An example is this Brobbey guy.

Any fool in Ghana tend to assume the role of a journalist. They are rude, arrogant, liars and professionally, incompetent. They are only good at forgery, lies and innuendos. They would black-mail and fabricate stories to get their way. Ghanaian journalist have no communication skills, very poor proficiency in the command of English(national language) or their own mother tongue. Politically, they are nation wreckers and political prostitutes to say the least. For some reasons they come on the radio or in the papers to spew their unintelligent and infantile ideas and posting to be experts. They are full of self aggrandisement. In fact,they insignificant and politically, nation wreckers and saboteurs. Those who have money to set up media house like Ken Agyepong display arrogance and try to hold the nation to ransom by their treasonable and irresponsible utterances. About time Ghanaians wake up to stop this avalanche of political and social predators.

A Mother had three virgin daughters. They were all getting married within a short time period. Because Mom was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started, she made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on how marital sex felt. The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but: "Nescafe"! Mom was puzzled at first, but then went to her kitchen and got out the Nescafe jar. It said: "Good till the last drop”. Mom blushed, but was pleased for her daughter. The second girl sent the card from Vermont a week after the wedding, and the card read: "Rothmans". Mom now knew to go straight to her husband's cigarettes, and she read from the pack: "Extra Long. King Size" She was again slightly embarrassed but still happy for her daughter. The third girl left for her honeymoon in Cape Town. Mom waited for a week, nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. Then after a whole month, a card finally arrived. Written on it with shaky handwriting were the words "South African Airways” Mom took out her latest YOU magazine, flipped through the pages fearing the worst, and finally found the ad for SAA. The ad said: "Ten times a day, seven days a week, both ways." Mom fainted

No media can insult itself from government; not even in the US and UK where media is very vibrant. Nope, Wereko. You do not get what you are saying. There you cannot devoirce national security from media practice. Wereko, you are living an illusionary world far from reality. The media is advert starved in the USA such that they have had to kowtow the whimps of Obama and Democrats. You do not get. The government must control the allocation of the air waves. Research your facts, you and your gutter journalism. Who controls the FCC in the USA? Its the government.

Where Is Your Moral Backbone? - Mo Ibrahim Asks Middle East & Asia
Sudanese cum British mobile communications entrepreneur and billionaire, Dr. Mohamed "Mo" Ibrahim, has posited that facilitating greater socio-economic and political integration within the African continent has remained largely elusive because of the number of borders across the continent.

To him, the way forward for the 54 African countries is to “enable the freedom of movement of capital, people and goods across all borders.”

“I think one of the main challenges we have is the issue of Regional Integration of Africa. Everywhere I go in Africa, I keep harping on that issue because we need to do away with this 54 borders between these countries. The only difference between Africa and China is that we have 54 countries; if China had 54 individual provinces each with its own laws, I think China would have been where Africa is today. So the way forward for us in Africa is to enable the freedom of movement of capital, people and goods across all borders. That is a must for us to move forward,” he said.

The Celltel International Founder was giving the keynote address on “Investing In Africa; The New Frontier For Growth” at a round-table forum during the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in Dubai, which ended on Thursday.

Discussants at the round-table included Mr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of Zoomlion and Jospong Group of Companies; Hon Calle Schlettwein, Minister of Trade & Industry, Republic of Namibia; Mustafa Osman Ismail, Minister of Investment, Republic of Sudan; Etienne Alingue, Economic Director, Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF); Emmanuel Noutary, Dir-Gen, ANIMA.

Mo Ibrahim, whose foundation invests in governance and leadership in Africa, was unhappy with the categorization of Africa “as a place of famine and full of troubles” and the tag of “corruption” placed around the neck of the continent. He believed corruption has two partners; the “politician” and the business person” and that the time has come for the spotlight to be thrown on “corrupt business people”, pointing out that one “cannot have a better governance unless” both governance in the public sector and corporate world is grown together.

“One of the issues that sometimes when people talk about Africa is they always talk about corruption. Africa is not unique, we have a problem with corruption everywhere but the reality is that corruption usually has two partners. One partner is the official or the politician; the other partners are the business people. And for every corrupt politician we have a dozen corrupt business people. We always throw the spotlight on officials I think it’s time to turn the spotlight on corrupt business people. Because, we cannot have a better governance unless we grow both governance in the public sector and corporate governance as well,” he said.

Dr Ibrahim, who launched a Foundation in 2006 to support good governance and great leadership in Africa, also questioned the moral chutzpah of European and some Asian countries to accuse Africa of lack of transparency and accountability in governance.

Citing Ghana and Kenya as examples of African states with thriving democracies, he rhetorically asked, “Where is your moral backbone? Our partners need to have the same high standards of morals. In Africa we (civil society) are taking issues with our governments on corruption and transparency…No continent in the world has had index where we review governance in Africa, where we measure 88 parameters of performance of every country in Africa…we dress accountability (in Africa).”

“…When you address Africa, be a little careful about tarnishing the continent… Africa has at least 30 functioning democracies with peaceful transfer of power through credible elections. We had some very tough elections in Ghana, Senegal…Kenya. In Ghana, the difference was very small yet people conceded peacefully, those who disagreed simply went to court, they did not take to the streets. That is a wonderful example and people in the Middle East or nearby here can follow that example. That is really in a nutshell, the situation in Africa,” he stated.

Rotten underbelly of this nation! Totaaly lacking in scrupples,media practitioners and the various houses that employ them,have shown little interest in promoting this nations interests! Only a visitor from the planet Mars will fail to recognize this malady;and the sad thing about this situation is the fact that only a tiny vocal minority has largely been responsible for making this happen! Media charlatans,and poorly educated individuals,committed to wreaking havoc on this country,have been emboldened to undertake assignments by selfish individuals and organizations who want to 'impose' their worldview on the rest of us.

THE MONEY FROM THE NAME JESUS CHRIST.

Judas Iscariot received monies from the jewish authorities to betray Jesus Christ for his crucifixion. He made the negotiations prior to the passover and did what he had to do, after the passover, when the ignorant roman soldiers handed him cucurrangs already arranged by the phony jewish rabi. Likewise, J.A.Kufour and his body cruise linked themselves to Bushes to destroy a native of Ghana, who is a born again Christian, before this man of Christ would understood what was being done to him, J.A.Kufour and his body amours had already stole the monies for THE WEDGE from the Bushes as Judas Iscariot did.

Not knowing the Lord God had diversion in mind for THE WEDGE, more than what Kufour stole. Understandably, anti-christ will careless about what the Lord Jesus was revealing to the world, his glorification on earth through the THE WEDGE. However, what about those who claim to be with God? What are they doing about this monies that has to go to the THE WEDGE in Jesus name. Are they going to sit idle for the name of Jesus to be redicle out of power? Now I understand why the scriptures says time will come many will say I preach your gospel, I save many souls in your name, I prophecy in your name and the Lord will say get out from me;you sons of iniguities, because they tarnished his name for themselves to be glorify.

The WEDGE has deliver his assignment for all the world to heed or reject as it was in the days of the Lord Jesus himself and the disciples. I hear some people talking about taxes, the wedge is current in his taxes. For the past two years THE WEDGE had no income to pay income taxes, yet he pays his property taxes on time, as well as real estate taxes.I pay taxes when I purchase something. He lives in his own house bought by his own toil not government provision as some in the neighborhood who suck up from the government. For instance building 7928, the living place of the black woman with big bossom shifted to Saudi Arabia in 2000. The first military lady who started the whole trials I am going through when she ordered her daughter to back into my car while parking to unload my stuff into my new bought house. This same military lady arranged force accident on my honda whiles, parking in a garage in DC for GPS to be installled in the honda, whiles I was at work. They made me paid 400 dollars for that all because of lies and they used God name with the whole setup. Rediculous, using God name to create such atrocity. AUCH!!!!!! I can't believe this. Hey USA. So what did I do to deserve all these setups all around me? What did I say that is not said before in USA that should enable military to focus so much on me? In fact they collected so much monies from me that I was not aware of. With pastors supporting what they were doing thinking it is God nation.

Throughout history of the bible the Lord God always uses his servants to reveal his hidden messages. He never use dragon, serpent nor lucifer to do that. Normally, those who fit into the charracters of dreams and prophecies unfavorably want to use any means to obstruct the occurrence, whenever they see their images they think they have work too hard to achieve is in humiliations. Maybe they tresspass the Lord God sovereignty. To tell you he is the omnipotent and omnipresence. He could careless about mere human images, whether that of a powerful nation or not. Throughout the years,pastors have tried to explain rev13 accurately, and the true explanation came with faces on, and they do not like it. They want somebody elses face on it, like African or new Europe or Asia, what about yours. Aren't you mere human like anybody else? Why do you guys think you are better than anybody who is not an American? That perception alone make the Americans the correct faces. Remember, we are dealing with bible that cannot be deleted or replaced. It was written before anybody on earth today was born and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
