  I wonder what motivated the writer to put this stupid piece on Ghanaweb. If he is blind and stupid, he should go back to the history books and learn that the genesis of the problems Ghanaians are facing now comes from Jerry Rawlings and his PNDC/NDC government - his unnecessary and criminal overthrow of a constitutional government headed by the late Hilla Limann and subsequent installation of a constitutional dictatorship. Yes he allowed chop-bar operators, tailors and seamstresses, drivers' mates, barbers etc to draft our constitution because he knew those group of people could be easily brainwashed and dictated to to give him a constitution that would ensure his personal security and comfort. The avoidance of professionals like members of the Ghana Bar Association was deliberate because they would not have given him the constitution he wanted.
  
  The fear of retribution after the senseless murder of thousands of Ghanaians and the confiscation of individuals' and corporates' hard-won property made him choose the calibre of people who drafted the 1992 constitution.
  
  The chicken have come home to roost. The deception, abuse, lies and the fear of the future that were invoked to write our 4th Republic Constitution is what is haunting us now.
  
  We should be thankful to the NPP for starting this process of cleaning up the Aegean Stable that had stultified our progress and development since 1982. Just think of it - after 19 years of Rawlings rule plus 4 years of Mills/Mahama, why should we be experiencing 'dum-sor dum-sor' and acute water shortage in all major cities in Ghana especially Accra and Cape Coast? Because we had idiots heading the government who were only concerned about enjoying the privileges of high office and knew nothing about national planning.
  
  The next big project will be replacing the dictator's constitution with a more progressive and developmental one.

  A HOUSE THAT IS DIVIDED AMONG ITSELF CANNOT STAND. GHANAIANS MUST LEARN TO BE GRATEFUL FOR IT IS A BLESSING TO DO SO. THE PEOPLE YOU ARE BLAMING ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF GHANA'S INDEPENDENCE. THEY ALSO PLAYED A BEHIND-THE-SCENE VITAL ROLE IN THE INDEPENDENCE OF MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE WHITEMAN SEES THE GOOD IN EVEN HIS ENEMIES; THE BLACK MAN NEVER SEES THE GOOD IN HIS ENEMY OR A PEOPLE OR A TRIBE HE HATES. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR HIS UNDOING LEARN TO SPEAK UNITY, NOT TRIBALISM.

  This idiot is dreaming but he should at least admit that Ghana National Truth and Reconciliation exercise undertaken by NPP opened the eyes of many to realized the atrocious and extra judiciary murders that went on under cover during PNDC era including the missing of over 400 Ghanaians within the same period,the writer should spare us our peace before people descend on him with facts, anyway the NDC is not comfortable with SUPREME COURT SAGA going on because they are not potential friends of the court having slained three top judges which was covered up but the ghost of the judges are hunting the NDC and I want to assure the madman that wrote this bigotry articles to watch out because the ghost of those judges would operate through the nine supreme court judges on the D day to produce a verdict that NDC would forever curse ,thank you and have a good day

  Who is more tribalistic than Rawlings Look at what he has done to the country. I blame the Akans if we are united , all these rubbish could not appear on this web.The seed Rawlings planted is now bearing fruit. All social-misfits joined these so-called socialists to cause confusion in the country. Now the socialists are now millionaires owning hotels, fleet of cars etc. Rawlings and Kofi Awonnor are not tribal warlord but rather Nana ADDO. You are funny . You are proud to say that the constitution was written by market women, taxi drivers ,mechanics to mention only a few.You don't feel ashamed of yourself to write such thing.Ex- convicts as PDC causing problems in villages with their so -called 'control price syndrome'Your article makes me crazy.

  "returned to Constitutional Rule in 1992 after the collapse of the Cold War in the 1990’s which led to the breaking of the BERLIN WALL that later united West and East Germany."............... What has the German reunification got to do with ya fake revolution?.What is the difference between the corruptional allegations of Liman`s administration to the ones commited during ya fake revo era,JJ`s 1st and 2nd era,K4`s time,Mills and now Mahama`s ?.With all what ya spiting,just take a breath to note that, Liman was constitutionally elected by the ppl of GH,made up of the folks from every tribe in GH,who were strongly united as one citizens,living through the hell of all the corrupt governments we`ve had, as brothers sisters of our one nation.And now here you are again toasting and touting ya fake revolution,that came with the divide and rule system which is now a bane hanging on our politics.Your so-called revolution broke the sacred seal of our political UNITED TRIBAL FRONT which our political forefathers fought so hard to achieve.Also remember that whiles you point ya fingers, someone also judges ya.Just think about the way you`ve been running things with ya fake revolutional divide and rule tactics b`cos it can get worse before better and when it happens, everybody will fight to keep their tribal land which comes first before Ghana and the question of someone being stronger than the other will not play any role.Wake up brother,the time is the 21st century and I hope you`re reading my mind and not my errors.

  SIR, ALLOW ME TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ERROR: GHANA DID NOT "BECOME" INDEPENDENT. GHANA "REGAINED" (THEIR) INDEPENDENCE.

  if nana addo and the npp party should have accept defeat and not dragging their arrogance and pride to court that they won the election in 2012, if truly they aimed for the betterment and the good living standards of Ghanaian s than wasting our country's resources and time. In fact, he may see Canaan but his feet shall never step there.
