  Do you know why ashantis carry shit in Nigeria during the oil boom time and up to this day?
  Do you know why ugly smelly bleached faces ashantis women have more right over their children than the backward ugly smelly uncircumcised ashante men? Its because most ashante are kortibortor, very short and ugly looking that is why their women have their children with Dagombas and Fulanis.
  Now do you know why Dagombas and Fulanis father Asante children?
  Do you know that Alan Kyeremanteng great grand father is a Dagomba?
  Do you know that ugly ku4 height is not a typical asante height?
  Do you that history is on our side on how Asantes look like from 15th century to 21st century?
  Do you know why naturally asantes are very dark, pint size and extreemly ugly. Lookt at where they migrated from, Darfur in Southern Sudan.
  Do you know why Kumasi translate literally as Death – Place?
  Do you know why ashantis are not circumcised?
  Do you know why ashantis men don't sleep with their women?

  Do you know that more 30 ku4 asantes govt heads will go to Nsawam?
  Do you know even now in NPP Asantes failed to win any executive post?
  Do know why Asantes burry their Asantehenes still with life humans? Because of their overwhelming desire or craving for paganic human sacrifices.
  Do you why recently Asantehene slaughtered 400 goats for paganic sacrifice at Bantama cemetery?
  Do you know why ashantis like stealing and extreemly corrupt when in white collar jobs?
  Do you know why ashantis are insatiably greedy to the highest heaven?
  Do you know why ashantis are always in petty trading? Because they don't want to pay tax so where is you idiot custodian notions coming from. Check employment data and see who are really working with the big institution and paying tax helping the GDP which is the custodian to the nation you are talking about, idiot ugly monkey.
  Do you know why ashantis eat decomposed maggot infested smoked fish and akrantie shit?
  Do you know why Ashantehene is not circumcised?
  Do you know that Asantes will never become President again in Ghana? It will be Armageddon!! ASHANTI WILL END UP BEING POCKET POLITICIANS IN THE STREETS OF GHANA AND WILL ROT IN OPPOSITION BECAUSE OF TRIBALISM.

  PUMPING MONEY INTO PUBLIC SERVICE ISNT THE WAY TO GO. ESP IN TODAY'S CASH STRAPPED, TECHNOLOGY INSPIRED WORLD. GOVT MUST STREAMLINE THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
  WE HAVE MUNICIPAL/CITY, REGIONAL AND FEDERAL GOVT . STREAMLINE THE GOVT N REMOVE THESE QUACK/QUASI, USELESS GOVT INSTITUTIONS WHICH EXIST BUT DONT DO ANYTHING TO RENDER EFFICIENT SERVICE OR COLLECT REVENUE.
  CHECK PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. CUT DOWN PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES. HIRE LESS PPL TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT SERVICE. WE NEED DISCIPLINE, CLEAR OVERSIGHT, CHECK N BALANCES N PATRIOTIC HARDWORKERS IN THE SYSTEM.
  NOT A BUNCH OF THIEVES WHO COME TO STEAL N COLLECT BRIBES! WHO ARE YOU MAKING A MOCKERY OF?...
  IN MY BOOK, YOU EITHER DO IT RIGHT. OR YOU GET ELIMINATED.

  MAHAMA HAS JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT IN NEW YORK WITH THE UN TO HAVE OUR DAUGHTERS INJECTED WITH THIS HPV VACCINE. THE FACTS ALONE TELLS US THAT
  THIS HPV VACCINE DOES NOT HELP, BUT RATHER WORSENS THE CASE FOR THE HPV VIRUS. INFACT, THE VACCINE IS ONLY GOOD FOR YOUNG VIRGINS, NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE FEMALES.
  THEREFORE, I POSE THIS TO ALL THOSE VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR HIM. IS THIS THE TYPE OF LEADER YOU HAD INMIND? WHAT IS HE DOING TO PROTECT YOU WELFARE IN TERMS OF HEALTH and EDUCATION?
  DUMMIES...TARRIFS ARE GOING UP ALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN GH. YET, WE DOTN SEE AN IOTA OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICES OR QUALITY. YOU HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING YET.
  YOU VOTE OUT OF SHEER EMOTIONS AND ETHNIC JUDGEMENTS.
  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 humanitarian 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 turnED into tribal politics!!#
  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.
  WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
  JUST WATCH, AFTER MAHAMA LEAVES. GHPPL WILL NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR A NORTHNER EVER AGAIN.....JUST WATCH! FOLKS, THIS IS NOT ABOUT NPP OR NDC. WE WANT OUR SHARE OOOOTOM!

  Ghanaians use your heads. Govt. wants to collect money via tariffs, so what is the best thing to do? Conserve energy. Don't leave lights, ACS on as you ave been doing. There are certain houses in this country and by their design does not allow natural light so even n the daytime lights are on. Lets get serious. We nee to choose between collapsing our utilities and have nothing or pay more and demand efficiency.

  I believe Ghanaians need very clear and detailed explanation for the rationale behind these severe and way above-inflation increases in tariffs. The worry is that with these increases comes an increase in consumer prices for goods and services further worsening the plight of the poorest and most vulnerable.
  
  In a country such as Ghana where the main safety net for vulnerable groups lies with their own family or local community, it is unreasonable not to have a mechanism for protecting the poor from inflationary pressures that would automatically result from such decisions.
  
  
  What is government doing about that? and how can the pain resulting from these hikes be ameliorated among low income households? And how does this impact on our attainment of the goals of the MDGs particularly MDG1, 4 and 5?

  Why should Ghanaians sit quietly in the name of the so called peace, for Mahama and his bunch of thiefs destroy the entire nation. After looting the national coffers during the 2012 elections and during Mills funeral, they have turned to unleash this hardship on us. All parties except Ayarecof and the few stomach smaller party leaders have spoken about the way bad economic practices are destroying all gains made as a nation. NPP and PPP keep reminding Ghanaians about the root in the system, but sadly to say, people think they are only doing politics. We continue to receive income from taxes, oil, gold, cocoa, bauxite, diamond, timber, road toll, fines, rates, dividends from companies, loans, grants and other donor funds including the 1 billion Euro bond but up till now Common fund is not paid, GetFund not paid, contractors not paid, book allowances and research grants etc are all outstanding. Teachers allowances including nurses allowances are being withdrawn. Petrol, water, electricity are all increased. The only hope we have as a nation is that, there is no food shortage. The way the economy is being run, should we face food shortage, we are doomed. The question is, why is all the money? Before another government would come, Mahama would have collapsed everything, just as it happened when Prez Kuffuor took over. The question is, are we waiting for Mahama to mess up the life of almost 25 million citizens because he has to be a president?. No, something must happen. Why are Ghanaians looking unconcern for Mahama and his ineffective cohorts destroy the future of thousands of youth in Ghana. Look at the number of JHS graduates who are sitting at home, because of some useless political party's useless promise. Why are Ghanaians behaving as if, we have all sold our conscience. Is it because of peace? Peace my foot. By 150 years from now all the over 7 billion people on earth would be dead. Why is it because of the fear of death, we allow these know nothing and do nothing bunch of jackals take the whole nation to ransom. The youth of Ghana must rise. I side with what Prof Akosa said few days ago, urging the Ghanaian youth to rise and fight for their right, since Ghana belongs to all of us. Something must naturally take place sooner than later. "Muhunii a nkye nna apaho". Ghana youth!!!! arise!!!!!

  Ghana government, or any government gets their revenue from taxes, investment of revenue, minerals etc. Any government has no business being in business, this is for the private sector. Government cannot now nor ever with be able to run a business as efficient as the private sector. The first step is this never happening again is to privatize all government held business set up utility boards to oversee rates and service, then receive tax revenue. This includes the telephone, internet, water, electric etc. any business that is vital to the infrastructure of Ghana. If you do not know how to do this, while Mahama is in the states tell him to check the procedures.
