All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos..

Mahama has seen no peace since he usurped the high seat of the Presidency. Nothing seems to work for hime so he can't wait for the Supreme Court to declare him the loser so he can go home in peace to care for his numerous children. He has become very talkative, and reactionary. Ghana needs dynamic leadership to rescue our people from the duldrums to the promised land!

Comment to:
The Gyeeda Report.... Sabotage within?

I AM ASHAMED OF THE RESPECT OTHER NATIONALS GIVE GHANAIANS. UPON ALL THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMEMENTS, THE GHANAIAN IS AN ENIGMA. I WONDER WHY ALL GHANAIANS COULD NOT COME TOGETHER AND HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THE DEPLORABLE STATE THEIR COUNTRY IS HEADING TO AND IF POSSIBLE ADVICE THIS GOVERNMENT TO RESIGN OR HELP STEER IT ONTO A GOOD COURSE. I AM TALKING TO THOSE ON THE TOP. BECAUSE SOME ENJOY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT,OR SOME HAVE THE MEANS TO LIVE THE AFFLUENT LIVE STYLES TO THE MERCY OF THE POOR, THEY DON'T CARE, BUT A STITCH IN TIME SAVES THE 9.THIS IS NOT THE GHANA I CAME TO SEE 4 YEARS AGO. GHANAIANS SHOULD SIT UP OR GHANA BECOMES ANOTHER AFRICAN COUNTRY

John Mahama,(first president of Ghana with 24 children from 13 women), have you already packed your possessions ?

But we discerning Ghanaians shall be pleased if the stealing will stop even before an end to the election petition.

And we hope the stealers will not use their last days in office to siphon off the revenues from the new taxes on condoms,matchetes,outboard motors,fishing nets e.t.c. !

And we shall never miss your "create, share and loot" regime in any way!

I advise the NPP gurus to get enough minders around Nana because he is unlikely to be able to cope with the gargantuan disgrace approaching him like a train laden with bauxite. Now he knows he should never have gone this far.

I am afraid when the frivolous petition is eventually thrown away, Nana may run amok and start slicing off the heads of those who have been fooling him all along. Or he might go and drink all the water in the Korle Lagoon. But what is certain is that he will smoke a lot - to the event of harming himself if minders are not watchful.

Nana and his wife were on holiday in Jamaica awaiting for the Supreme cour Verdict. They were touring around the market-place looking at the goods and such, when they passed a small sandal shop.

From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, 'You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop.' So the married couple walked in. The Jamaican said to them, 'I 'ave some special sandals I think you would be interested in. Dey makes you wild at sex.'

Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the woman claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them,
being the Sex God that he was.

Nana asked the woman, 'How could sandals make you a sex freak after all i just smoked a lot of Ganja{weed]?'

The Jamaican replied, 'Just try dem on, Mon.'

Well, Nana, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in and tried them on.

As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild
look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen before!!

In the blink of an eye, Nana grabbed the Jamaican, bent her over the table, yanked down her pants, ripped down his own pants, and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's thighs.

The Jamaican began screaming: 'You got dem on de wrong feet mon!'

Moron, were you in Ghana when NPP sold vodafone and sold our great national asset, oil for 10% to 25million Ghanaians. Your definition of corruption is as warped and skewed like your selective pink 'shits' case. You did not contest the votes at the poling station, thieves. You want to disenfranchise Ghanaians to get the presidency.

The African leader is a direct descendant of a baboon whose selfish interests stand above all. He is greedy, corrupt, insensitive to the needs of his people and does not understand ministerial responsibility.
Under such normal circumstances where waning confidence has brought things to a standstill a thoughtful leader will just resign to save the nation.

Mahama Worried

A senior law lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Mr Kofi Abotsi, has expressed concern about the president's pronouncements about the ongoing election petition case.

In his opinion, though his (President's) comments were contemptuous, they could have been avoided.

President Mahama on Wednesday gave assurances of his commitment to accept the final outcome of election petition case.

According to him, "I just want to say that we have no other option than to accept the verdict. We must accept the verdict because that is the Supreme Court of Ghana and the constitution gives it the authority to adjudicate as the final arbiter on matters like this."

Lawyer Abotsi in an interview with Citi news however noted that though, "the president is not an average citizen... one would have expected that everyone would exercise some restraint and therefore avoid making direct comments that may be tapped into by [bad] elements."

He thus cautioned the leadership of the various parties involved in the election petition case to avoid making direct comments in relation to the case.

Why do people quote this figure $35Million so much, is it true? Obviously, Afari Aponkye Gyan's palms must have been greased in order for him to have compromised his office like that but how did people know that it was $35million? Lots of people quote that figure as the bribe money. I think if Nana Addo is declared President by the Supreme Court that will be the end of NDC. The whole country now know the character of the people that makeup the NDC party and will never vote for them again. If Supreme court declare Nana Addo as President, CPP will take the place of NDC.

NPP is a noisy party always creating noise as if the"heaven" is falling.
The 35 million they are claiming Mahama gave Afari Gyan is a wild allegation without any basis.
The election in Ghana is so transparent not even the EC can rig it. The votes are counted at the polling stations in the full glare of the people with all agents of the parties in attendance. The counts are recorded and copies given to all the agents of the parties. Hence from the polling station results any serious party can parallel the EC by doing its own collation.
This NPP petition is not based on their votes being stolen or President Mahama's votes padded but on clerical errors of Presiding Officers in filling the polling station forms.

GYEEDA OR NO GFYEEDA I will choose Mahama any day than this NPP fraudster whose law certificate is missing like his toothless mouth. Ghanaians actually rejected him despite "awam" prayers by false men of God who were holding calabashes over his bald head. The presidency of Ghana is not a birth-right and it is neither for the highest bidder. You insult people because of their ethnic background and you want their support. When I read the insults I hate the NPP much more. The arrogance will get you no votes except people who want to be boot-lickers. You don't mount the soap box and say one thing and yet at tne least opportunity, on the airwaves or on the web, you keep insulting some people because of their ethnicity.

A doctor, an architect, and an attorney were dining at the country club one day, and the conversation turned to the subject of their respective dogs, which were apparently quite extraordinary. A wager was placed on who had the most intelligent dog. The physician offered to show his dog first, and called to the parking lot, "Progressive, come!" Progressive ran in, and was told by the doctor to do his stuff. Progressive ran to the golf course and dug for a while, producing a number of bones. He dragged the bones into the country club, and assembled them into a complete, fully articulated human skeleton. The physician patted Progressive on the head, and gave him a cookie for his efforts. The architect was only marginally impressed, and called for his dog, "New , come!" New ran in, and was told to do his stuff. The dog immediately chewed the skeleton to rubble, but reassembled the fragments into a scale model of the Taj Mahal. The architect patted his dog and gave him a cookie. The attorney watched the other two dogs, and called "Bullshit Mosquito, come!" Bullshit Mosquito entered and was told to do his stuff. Bullshit Mosquito immediately fucked the other two dogs in their ass, stole their cookies, auctioned the Jubilee House and Osu Castle replica to the other club members for his fee, and went outside to play golf"

Please do not take Mahama's recent comments at their face value. Mahama is telling the whole world Atubugah has revealed to him ahead of time the verdict of SC by ATUGUBA, the President of the SC panel. ATUGUBA passed this information on to Mahama through his brother who is the Executive Secretary to Mahama. That is why Mahama has become extra confident. Mahama knows that if the verdict goes his way the country will be thrown into chaos that is why he has indicated he will use state power to stamp out any negative reaction to his reconfirmation by SC. The recent show of power by the security agencies should give Ghanians food for thought. Nevertheless some of us are very confident that THE GOD OF TRUTH IS IN CONTROL> AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS GOD'S COUNSEL THAT WILL PREVAIL.

President Mahama, you are the one giving yourself headache for nothing. Ghanaians won't accept any excuse from you if you don't execute the Better Ghana agenda because the petition case was there. Nobody told you that there had been in the history of democracy s single case when an elected President had been removed by a Supreme Court and placed a power drunk.

The last example is the one of Venezuela where the Court just said that they don't have enough evidence to dismiss the elected successor of president Hugo Chavez, President MADURO. so just put the case behind and focus on your work. NPP gurus and militants don't have anything to do while you have been entrusted by the people of Ghana to provide them with peace and prosperity.

The SC must be blamed for letting this useless case drag on and on. This case has negative effect on governance because it is a diabolical distraction. That is why I commend the Kenyan SC for how fast they resolved their election dispute.
Hear in Ghana, it appears the Judges are scared of arriving at a verdict. Instead of closing the court, they asked the counsels to return on August 14 for certain clarifications to be made for them. If at this stage they are not clear with all the relevant facts of the case then I am sorry, they can't do the job.
The 9 SC Judges must know that, whether there will peace or not depends on how wise their judgment will be. Any unwise judgment like overturning the declaration of the EC in an election which has been acclaimed by both local and international observers including the numerous media stations as free, fair and transparent, will throw Ghana into a chaos of unimaginable proportions.
The 2012 election was conducted so peacefully, counting done in public and there was never a protest that was not dealt with at the polling stations to the satisfaction of the protesters it will be playing with fire to overturn its results.
I am therefore at a loss why the Peace Council keeps on saying "the parties should accept anything from the SC". There cannot be peace without justice.
