  GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE NANA ADDO IF HE GIVES UP THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NPP PARTY. HIS LEADERHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO.

  WHY DID MHAMA GIVE AGGUDEY A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON? FOR WHAT? FOR HIM TO SAVE FACE AND NOT BE DISGRACED?
  THIS FOOL WAS SPENDING MONEY THAT WASNT HIS AND WOMANIZING WITH YOUNG LEGON FEMALES. WHERE IS THE MORALITY HERE?
  THESE GIRLS COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR SIS TERS, DAUGHTER OR NIECE...YOU KNOW...
  ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENENING IN GH, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO SUPPORT GH TO GO TO BRASIL? CMON NOW...
  HE WHO CLIMBS A GOOD TREE DESERVES SUPPORT....NOT VICE VERSA. LOOK AT HE QUALITY OF PLAYERS AA HAS INVITED FOR THE WCUP QUALIFIER VS EGEYPT?
  REALLY?..EVEN OLELE PAID 5000 DOLLARS FOR SELECTION. WAT IS OTOO, JORDAN AYEW, ADOMAH, FRIMPONG DOING HERE?
  Now, if you were to open a textbook from years ago, you would have found
  that natural resources in abundance are a source of growth and wealth for
  developing countries, or so it was supposed.
  Why not?
  If you have oil, if you have diamonds, if you have gold and copper, can't
  these be used to help develop the country?
  But if you turn to contemporary textbooks, the first chapter is liable
  to be about the resource curse, meaning that the revenues from foreign
  investment in oil and gas and coal and copper get siphoned off in corruption.
  billions of dollars are siphoned off every year into private pockets of these so called DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
  WHAT A SHAME! There is a lack of transparency. There is a lack of accountability.
  if you look at Chile, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, these are
  countries that have been very successful in using their rich resources TO DEVELOP THEIR NATION. WHY CANT GHANAIAN GOVTS LEARN FROM THEM?
  So the question is, how can resources be used to benefit broad economic and
  social development and avoid the corruption and authoritarian rule?
  The key issue is always going to be the local population, the local
  leadership, the local press, and NGOs, non-governmental authorities that try
  to promote openness and transparency.
  In 2010-2011, Ghana started to export significant quantities of oil.
  Is this going to be the best thing that ever happened to Ghana or the
  worst thing that ever happened to Ghana?
  The phenomenon called "Dutch Disease" is also part of the
  resource curse, which means that the exchange rate for the currency of
  resource-rich countries becomes overvalued, and this hurts the exports
  of other industries. WHAT THIS NDC GOVTIS DOING IS THIS. THEY HAVE DEVALUED THE CURRENCY, EXPORTING MORE AND STEALING THE MONIES INTO THEIR PRIVATE BANK ACCOUNTS.
  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 DOLLARS 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 DOLLARS 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....PLUS A RISE INWATER, HYDRO TARRIFS ACROSS THE BOARD?
  A CLASSIC CASE OF "LET THEM EAT CAKE"...
  GHPPL, RISE UP AND CLAIM YOUR SHARE!

  In as much as I support any act, be it peaceful or silent, that curtly draws the government's attention to the fact that the lower class and the patriotic ghanaians are suffering under the present economic crisis, I am not enthused about caption for the demostration.
  
  The slogan “ayefe notse” has a lot of connotation looking back at the history of demonstrations. The question is who is the "notse"? Figure it out while I give you reason for by definition.
  
  We were in this country when the oposition hid behind Kwesi Pratt and staged the "Kumi-Preko" (I preffer you kill me) and the "Yewoo" (We are dying)demos in the 90s. Akuffo-Addo and his NPP were influencial in these demonstrations. Infact wse were told the group (AFAG) that organized them is non-partisan. But I have heard NPP accrediting Akkufo-Addo for organizing them.
  
  The NPP followed it up with a campaign slogan "won he wo ma/yegye ye man" (we want our country back) during the 1999 electioneering campaign. The question is who was dying and who wanted to die? who owes the country and who was the alien ruler?
  
  As God would have it NPP won the election in 1999. What happen from January 2000-2008, I live it to your judgment. Corruption and economic harship were elevated. The crying poor ghanaians was asked to hush it up, and should not blame the government for their laziness. What is lazier than a minister signing $100,000 check to his baby mama.
  
  From where I sit the true state of Ghanaians is measured by the "greed bastards" (the politicians").
  
  When they are in oposition and they cannot make money through corrupt means and they cannot leave big: signing $100,000 to their mistresses, sending their children to schools abroad, enjoying free fuel and V8, paying judgment debts and getting kickbacks, attending functions and getting huge per diem, etc., then he makes noise with the voice of the so called despised poor man. So my brother do not be deceived:
  
  When you hear:
  
  Kumi preko or yewuoo - it means the politician in oposirion is not getting the opportunity to make money by getting contract from the gov't or through corrupt means. He is financially dying, his business is dying.
  
  To the politician the owner of the country Ghana, is the party in power. not Ghanaians. So when they influence the masses to march crying "we want our country back", the "we" and "our" is the party which is in oposition not the Ghanaian. To the parties it is better to be a garden boy in the house of the president if your party is in power, than to be Chairman in oposition.
  
  So who is the "notse" in todays demonstration slogan? It is the hungry politicians in oposition and not the innocent poor stricking masses they have deceived to follow them. Did Ndwoum organized a demo when he was a consultant for the Rawlings government and a Minister under Kufour? Why today? Were there no corruption at the time? In fact he is on record to have said all political parties in Ghana are corrupt.
  
  The fact is that, the true (hidden) slogan for all political is "moko aya ni moko abaye eko", "obi nko na obi so mbeze bi" (one PARTY must leave for the other PARTY to come and eat some).
  
  I respect Kwesi Pratt for his confession and candid posture when he said he will not involved in any demo in Ghana again because he has Learned that the Politicians and their Parties deceived and used him and the masses to demostrate for them to come to power only to seek their selfish inerest.
