    Prof. Karikari, tell it like it is !

    John Mahama(first president of Ghana with 24 children from 13 women), just like his fellow foolsoldiers of the NDC, has short memories.

    Nana is loosing face, and it's sad he using NPP clueless supporters to cover his face. Bet it, even if MAHAMA looses at the SC(which won't happen) Nana won't become president.
