  No matter the lies and deceit some facts are evident and the people have woken up to the reality .One mans reality is another's madness. Hegemony you can only fight with hegemony , tribalism with tribalism , chauvinism with chauvinism and if you dont fight or adopt the attitude of turning the other cheek you run the risk of your children being enslaved or ending up like second class citizens in their own country like indians in latin america today . We Akans realise these ugly truths and the agenda of the ayigbe toxic program and their pepeni / islamic agenda of enslave the Akan ,deny all rights of self governance etc etc . we have no choice but to fight back and even if it means sacrificing a generation in war we are ready . in fact the whole world knows its now only a matter of months when the shooting actually begins as the injustice today is unbearable . they steal our money in broad day light going for loans and taking bribes from all sources but let their partners in crime know we will not pay these loans especially since there was no benefit in any of these things for the Akans and were approved by a minority govt that has no respect for the majority . this govt has lost all credibility , claiming a throne does not make you a king , we do not recognize this govt and its nothing but a pest . Imagine the nations of the west such as the Americans etc better understand us than our so called neighbors pepeni and ayigbe , just analyze the the insults as its an expression of whats deep down in their black hearts of ignorance,we definately have no business staying in the same country talk less same destiny, long live the republic of Akan

  ARE OUR ELDERS USELESS?
  President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
  This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana. MAHAMA, WHERE IS THE MONEY? OUR KIDS HAVE NO EDUCATION. HOW SISTERS, MOTHERS N CHILDREN HAVE NO HOSPITALS.
  LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE? NO FACTORIES, NO JOBS, NO WATER....
  WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
  MAYELE AA, VS MAHAMA?
  WHAT DO THESE 2 HAVE IN COMMON?
  WE ARE QUICK TO MENTION SCENT,THE SCENT ON HIM OR HER. HOW SMELLY,DIRTY AND DUSTY IS GH?I MEAN GO TO ACCRA, KUMASI, TAADI N YOU WILL FIND THE ALIEN SMELLS N SCENTS!
  OPEN GUTTERS EVERYWHERE...TRASH BEING THROWN OR BURNT ANYWHERE. PPL ARE SHITING N THROWING FEACES ANYWHERE, ANYHOW...OH LORD, ANIMAL KINGDOM PAA NIE?!
  FOLKS, WAT ARE THE COMMONALITIES BETWEEN BOTH PERSONS HERE? AA AND MAHAMA ARE BLESSED WITH A TAXABLE POPULATION, STAR PLAYERS, AMAZING POOL OF TALENT N RESORCES TO EASILY BECOME A FIRST RATED
  NATION/SOCCER TEAM. HOWEVER, THE TRUE POTENTIAL CAN NEVER BE REALISED (NO AFCON TROPHY FOR AA, NO REAL ECONOMIC IMPRVMENT/INFRASTRUCTURAL DEV IN GH). SIMPLY BCOS AA AND MAHAMA ARE CLUELESS N CONFUSED.
  THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WAT TO DO....AND DONT HAVE THE COURAGE TO KNOW HOW.....ISNT THAT PETTY N PATHETIC?
  LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF OUR REGIONAL STADIUMS...DEPLORABLE. KUMASI STADIUM HAS TOO MANY POTHOLES, THE PLAYERS WERE TRIPPING OVER THEM. ASK ATSU.
  UPGRADE THE PITCH INTO A MODERN PITCH N STOP THE MEDIOCRITY IN GH. BUILD MORE MODERN PITCHES SO GH CAN HOST MORE AFRICAN N WORLD TOURNAMENTS. WE CANT HOST WMNS WCUP OR EVEN U17 ON GH.
  MEANWHILE NAIJA, EGPYPT, S AFRICA HAVE ALL HOSTED MAJOR CONTINENTAL N WORLD TOURNAMNTS...
  THE PITCH IN ACCRA AND KUMASI CAN NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A WORLD CLASS SOCCER PITCH. THIS IS A FACT...YOU CAN PLAY ON THEM, BUT YOU RISK AN INJURY BCOS OF THE UNDULATING SURFACE, UNEVENESS
  OF THE FIELD, HOLES IN THE FIELD.
  SO CANT THE MIN OF SPORTS GO TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE? PLS, JUST TAKE A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WAT A REAL STADIUM LOOKS LIKE. GO TO BRASIL N SEEK HELP.
  SPEAK TO THE MINISTERS OVER THERE N TELL THEM. WE NEED THESE IN GH TOO.
  DONT BE ASHAMED TO ASK FOR GUIDANCE/HELP. WE TALK LIKE HYENAS. EVEN GABON/EQ GUINEA, ANGOLA, NAIJA ALL HAVE BETTER STADIUM FACILITIES
  THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN GH. IF I AM KP BOATENG/ESSIEN/DEDE, NO WAY IN HELL AM I RISKING MY CAREER ON THIS PITCH. HW3, I WONT PLAY ON THAT PITCH N TRY TO INJURE MYSELF?
  TWEAA, STADIUM WITH POTHOLES WEI? IN THIS MODERN DAY N AGE?
  WHAT IS THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF EQ GUINEA/GABON? LOOK AT THE CONDITION N QUALITY OF OUR AIRPORTS? KUMASI N ACCRA? AGAIN, THE MIN OF TRANSPORT THE THE AVIATION DEPTS NEED TO GO
  TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WELL, WELL. DONT SIT IN UR AC OFFICES IN ACCRA EATING KELEWELE N NUTS WITH FANTA N SAYING...AHHHHHHHH....LOL
  LOOK AT THE STATE OF OUR ROADS N REGIONAL HIGHWAYS? ITS VERY SAD. I ALWAYS GET MADD N UPSET WHEN IM IN GH......UUURRRGGGHHHH!!!
  GH IS PROLLY THE NATION WITH THE MOST HIGH QUALITY FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS IN AFRICA. YET, WE CANT WIN A MILK TIN? WHY?
  IF APPIAH WHO NEVER PLAYED OUTSIDE GH, HAS HAD OVER 6YRS AS GBSTARS COACHING APPRENTICE, HAS HAD LESS COACHING EDUCATION, CAN PRODUCE MEDIOCRE RESULTS LIKE THIS.
  WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF DESAILLY IS PLUGGED IN THE EQUATION AS COACH OR ADVISOR? OH GH, WE HAVE GOLD, OIL, DIAMONDS, PREGNABLE WOMEN AND POTENT MEN, COCOA, LEARNED MINDS LIKE ANNAN, KUFFOUR AND NDUOM..
  EVEN SHEA BUTTER SEF WE GET, BUT LOOK AT OUR DEPLORABLE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, STADIUMS, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS...OUR NATION?! WATCH AND LEARN!
  THE MIN OF SPORT IN GH MUST MOBILIZE FUNDS FROM THE CENTRAL GOVT, PRIVATE SECTOR N REGIONAL GOVTS. GO TO S AFRICA/BRASIL N SEEK HELP. THESE AFUOM LANDSCAPERS AT GGT ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL.
  THEY DNT EVEN KNOW WAT THEY ARE DOING.....
  WATCH THE BRASILIAN LEAGUE. U WILL SEE PLAYERS LIKE DIDA, RIVALDO, RONALDINHO, FREDDY ADU, BAPTISTA, COACH DUNGA, DIEGO FORLAN, PATO OF AC MILAN, JUAN, AND MANY MORE ALL PLAYING OVER THERE.
  WHERE ARE FMR GBSTAR PLAYERS LIKE OLELE, APPIAH, PAINSTIL, JOHN MENSAH ETC STILL DOING IN EUROPE? FOOLISHNESS!
  UNDERDEVELOPED GH
  even by africa standards ghana is waaay underdeveloped but ghanaians do not seem to notice that….
  airports , roads, stadia in ghana are still sub standard….THIS IS WHY I HATE coming to ghana…Africans who LOVE AND respect ghana, are surprised AT what they see when they visit..
  There is a old saying: "when something is working, leave it alone; work on something else where you can create something new for doing good". This is universal truth. Somethings are meant to be that way.
  MAJORITY OF THE PPL CANT USE A COMPUTER. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IN GH IS VERY POOR. THE GOVT AND PRIVATE SECTOR MUST INVEST IN NATIONWIDE BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY, FAST! THIS IS THE FUTURE.
  PARENTS, STOP ENROLLING YOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. LET THEM ROAM THE STREETS. IF THE GOVT ASKS WHY.
  TELL THE GOVT YOU DEMAND FREE BASIC SCHOOL FOR ALL GH KIDDIES UP TO SHS..4YRS!
  GH GOVT MUST OFFER FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO GHWEB. WE NEED RAPID INTERNET BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE IN GH. THIS MUST BE A PRIORITY FOR THE GOVT!
  GO N GET A LOAN N USE IT FOR INITIAVES LIKE THIS.
  OTHER NATIONS WITH LESS ENDOWED NATURAL RESOURCES, POPULATIONS ARE DOING IT....
  PLS TELL AA N KONADU TO WATCH BRAZILIAN LEAGUE. SHOW BRAZILIAN LEAGUE GAMES ON GH TV.@ ...WWW.P2P4U.NET
  GFA WHEN WILL YOU STREAM PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES LIVE ONLINE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO WATCH? OH GH, WHEN OOOO! ARE U ASHAMED OF YOUR UNDULATING, UNEVEN SOCCER PITCHES?
  AGENTS/CLUBS OUTSIDE GH COULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE OUR LEAGUE, PLAYERS. THIS WILL HELP GH. GFA, GET CURRENT
  NYANTAKYI IS RUNNING THE GH LEAGUE LIKE FOSU LINE, DONGOMI. THE EARLIER HE LEAVES, THE BETTER GH SOCCER WILL BE
  Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanritan reliefs because the only one international airport
  was destroyed. just imagining if Ghana is not the same as Haiti!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turn into a tribal politics!!#

  Some years back when they were running around taking loans here and there. I commented on it that we should tread carefully. Those who think otherwise said we should take as much as we can. Well the chicken has come home to roust. Loans are not free and if we are not careful we will have oil but be slaves to those so-called loan givers.

  Jon Mahama is a thief, that is why I hate him. Until he stops stealing Ghana's money, he continues to be my number one enemy. Jon Mahama is a criminal. He is a fool and an idiot.

Then, we could not stand these giants so is it today that we can make it against them looking glaringly at the Huge public debt? God help and save us.

  It would be more corruption with NPP, CPP, etc
  All we really hope for is that the next person will learn from past mistakes, but that is not happening. Debt has gone through the ceiling, and the gov't acts as if isn't nothing new/nothing to be concerned with. They raise taxes, lower all assistance/subsidies, and things are still terrible in the economy. They won't listen to world bank and IMF advice, but their own solutions are worse.
  
  No more loans, get budget in order - stop spending money on foolish things...and finally, this gov't needs to grow up, take responsibility, and stop blaming any old gov't or an election petition. Problems now, are thiers
