May God never punish us with a leader who takes drugs and especially not a womaniser who can fondle even married women in public.
Surely, the eclipse is God's endorsement of JM's second term!
Please, direct this advice to Injustice Atuguba, the most disgraced Ghanaian on earth for taking bribe from Mahama to rule in his favor.
Mahama does not want to end the corruption that Yokogari Rawlings started, that Kuffuor perfected, that Mills ignored, and Mahama is enjoying.

It may be corruption. But you can't blame that on the court unless the connivance is between them and the court; then you blame all parties conniving!

John Mahama should have been cleared of the allegations of corruption against him as vice president before swearing him in as president.
He has been provided a priceless opportunity for a cover up.
Visionary Leaders alone is not enough when the people are not visionary.
You can say that again Madam.Ghana is lunmbered with leaders who do not have a clue who have come into power through false means or voted into power by naive,ignorant,judgement impaired visionless people.
THEY START VERY SMALL & BECOME BOLD!!!
RAWLINGS - NSAWAM CANNERY
JAKE - STATE PROPERTY
WOOD - SHE WAS DECENT TO PULL OUT OF STEALING STATE PROPERTIES!!!
The idiot who appointed you as the CJ is the most corrupt living former president.
This woman is talking as if corruption started yesterday,but they all shut their eyes and mouths when Kuffour was messing up this country.
