congratulations CJ, finally those with moral integrity muster the courage to face down these ndc pepeni and ayigbe criminals that oppress us Akans in our own country. pepeni has thwarted justice so many times since the time before he murdered mills right down to rigging the elections with those prejudiced against the Akans. we Akans will fight this ewe hegemony and pepeni tribalism with our nationalism awakening and patriotism . there is no more partisan politics rather strictly tribalism led by these pepeni toilet carriers and their lying homicidal ayigbe criminal allies . very soon the land of the Akans will be free and we shall leave them to themselves . we shall see how happy these ewes are when pepeni decides to rule them by force or how the Gas will feel when only pepeni or ayigbe idiots rule them . today all can predict the actions of the ndc just by looking at things through the prism of tribalism, short changing the cocoa farmers , adding taxes to burden the Akans since these useless pepefuo produce nothing . deny free education to the south as it is a bad thing for the Akans only good for toilet carriers and the list is endless. these ndc have no shame as they have no conscience and are nothing but the children of the devil that need to be set on fire through war or revolution . long live the republic of Akan

This is what they always say! For your insanity to realise that every tree has a root and its branches. Akan is an identification of a brotherhood genesis, socially together by their language, customs and tradition.These have permitted them to survive despite those multitudes of tribulations from generations to the other adapting themselves by situations and circumstances! The co-existance with other ethnic is a possibility at a condition , not to use this pact to exploit! Today, we have many politicians using tribalism to control and steal Akan's lands and wealth! Do Akans stand by ,while they destroy? Fools, get back to your senses! and leave a noble Alan ALONE !

Ghanaian ministers don't know anything about geographical coordinated demarcating an oil field, This Fulani minister has poor negotiation skill and he will further deepen the problems Ghana already has. With such disputes , we need competent lawyers , accountants, geologists , economists or auditors from countries like the U.S to figure out the border issues. Mahama and his Fulani ministers are plunging Ghana into the abyss. Wake people. Dismiss this bad NDC government before it is too late.The Ivory Coast is putting together international consortium to fight the oil war whilst Mahama is depending on his Northern Fulani herdsmen.

Masa what are you talking about? half of Canada is French Dont talk about what you dont Know. In my Opinion all we have to do is escalate the situation. Simple put up a military blockade of our maritime borders simple what are the navy there for why did we have to buy Naval boats if we cannot put it to the test. If the Ivorians see us doing so they will back down. At the end of the day who gained independence first. Who sent their maps detailing their borders first. See what China is doing in the south China sea. China is busily twisting the hands of Japan. Philipines Vietnam and a host of others and these other countries fully knowing what is happening have started calling on their UN acceptance and maps. Simple put a blockade there and lets see what these French stooges does. Outtara has never been any good person. and indeed the whole of the French speaking nations surrounding us has never been on our side yet stupidity on the parts of our MPs and leaders Ministers and their blatant know nothing of international affairs and how to even put a picture of Ghana out there as a nation that fears no one even including the so called France who have never won a war is what is dragging us down. Its about time we called the so called experts into offices and dealt with this matter decisively. In world war two Adolf Hitler was allowed by the world to takek some portions of Czechoslovakia and the entire check defense system fell flat because those areas had all the defense mounted by the Czechs. If we allow outara do this nonsense backed by the French we would be standing defenseless. So please to who ever is in office we put up a defense system now by putting up a blockade by so doing the Stupid French would know that we are gearing up for them and they will shut up one touch. Vietnam Booted them out in Tonkin and it started the American and Japan war. we can do this.

The military blockade should not be intended for possible war, please, but just to protect our territorial waters. Ivorians and Ghanaians are historically blood-brothers so we need not fight each other. Diplomacy is the solution. France is pushing Ouatara for this devilish act but cannot succeed. Ouatara's true colours of being tagged as a half Burkinabe and half Ivorien is coming out. Boiny and Bagbo would not have behaved this way. France invested heavily in bringing Ouatara to power so they are finding quicker means of recouping the monies spent on La Cote d'Ivoire.

Whilst I agree with you, I also have the view that we live in 'another' world today where some historic successes cannot be alluded to as strategy for advancement. This issue must be approached tactically, in the sense of mutual win-win agreement between Ghana and Ivory Coast the only two stakeholders who are meant to benefit amicably. These 'white' countries would not seek any thing better for us except war, so as to pave the way for them to perpetrate their slavery and looting of the 'blackman' under the current neo-colonialism and so-called democratic system they have imposed on us. Both countries must not depend on any white people to resolve this issue because they are behind the impasse. And all their plans are geared towards engaging two foolish black group of people they call themselves Ghana and Ivory Coast in a fight so that their Totals, Mobils, BPs, Shells, etc would bypass us to take our resources as it happened in past colonial days. Look, both countries do not need any 'white' legal expertise to battle out the issue because they are all behind the impasse. All we need is understanding ourselves as black people and where necessary share our own natural resource peacefully together. You know Nigeria owns their Benin Delta region oil and gas resources without any external aggression regarding ownership. Yet, these white people in sleeve as multinational oil giants called shell, mobil, BP, etc have managed to destabilise the oil industry via internal militancy and are currently flaring gas, steal oil, causing environment disasters, to mention a few. What have these white people done to help with all their self-made international laws to intervene. Just because Nigerians are black negros who by no means deserve peace and development. What happened to BP when they accidentally spilled oil in the gulf of America? Immediately, they cleaned up those shit and they are currently paying billions of US dollars in compensation. Why would BP act quickly and decisively to restore order? Because they were dealing with their own white people who deserve better life than black negro, isn't it?

Sometimes I wonder who are the people on the corridors of our Military. I have always been saying this that, We shall see the real materials for the Military and the defense institution when a war break and a war from my estimate would be breaking out any moment soon. and we will see the make of the Ghanaian defense machine. If you have a nation that only knows how to throw people out of its institutions just because of some thieves in some offices taking bribes and making the military a Family business we would surely know soon. How can you allow a French Military presence in your territory knowing fully well that not long agoe an issue of this nature has arisen.This shows the make of our so called military men and leaders who just simply lack class and would just sit down and allow anybody to play arround with them inthe name of military exercise. in their own backyard. Do our people even read Hitory, do they know that we are surrounded from east to wesand to the north by Vermins who will let go of no chance to have a bite at us? look at the Israelis and their location on the map, because of this they are always sharp and on the alert on the other hand look at Ghana. just there and any fool can walk in as and when they please.

Of course we do not expect the NPP which is a puppet of the imperialists to care.After all you supported Ouattara and the French to remove Gbagbo from power.

NPP regime struck the oil for Ghana. Ivory Coast are now eye-red and using all legal and diplomatic means to claim this God-given resouces from Ghana. Now NDC is in government so onus is on them to protect Ghana's assets from those 'hawks' trying to prey on us.

NDC the stupid criminal party came only to destroy, steal, loot, vandalize, and loose all state owned property to the outside world. NPP came to discover oil. NDC came to let it go. They themselves have stolen almost everything belonging to the state while at the same time, they let outside world take the rest. How else can any president and his party be so foolish?

Ohooo, Alhassan Outtarah, is that the case? After you've settled on the throne of Gbagbon, with the support of France, You're even trying Ghanaians with that support once more? Very well, I bet you, Tamale Bawah barraks alone can deal with you guys should any war break. Ghanaians are never cowards when it comes to battle, and you know that. You couldn't find any oil field except adjacent Jubilee field? Criminals. Let's see who owns the territory. Tweah. And for those of you who are politicizing the matter, have you got brains at all? Is president Mahama a geographer? Stupidity will rot your heads soon. You can go to hell if you want, for Mahama is the president, like it or not. Abuah penin.

The NPP and its' supporters have now developed the notoriety of criticizing anything NDC. Doing so will not help the NPP to come back to power.In life it pays to praise when praise is due even if the actor is your rival. The issue under discusion is not a partisan one so be realistic in your comment.

Beef up the navy. As I have always pointed out Africa's worse enemy is France, a country whose predatory activities on our continent is legendary. France has always fomented strife, division and conflict in order to promote its own interests on the African continent. The African continent is splashed with the blood of countless Africans caused by the activities of successive French political leaders. A rapidly declining France ( economically) sees Africa as its last hope to cling to a "world power" status.
