pepeni is now attempting to steal Christmas and continue on his evil foolhardy agenda of turning the country into a Muslim dominated colony . Last week two events went by unnoticed by our illiterate media ,the first the banning of Islam in Angola and the freedom fight of Scotland. the Angolans having been through a war thoroughly understand the menace of Islam especially through these Lebanese economy wreckers and their rejection of all religions . The scots realize with their oil they are better off going alone as will sooner or later the Fantis or Akans. Today the Akans despite being the majority have been marginalized due to the hegemony of the ewes , northerners and lately we see also the treacherous Gas. i repeat just one point to prove the point , there is not a single Fanti cabinet minister in this govt. yet they claim almost half their votes were from the Akans or Fantis . we must admit the persecution of the Akans did not start today , Nkrumah ruthlessly persecuted any opposition to his wanton spending which led to the first exodus of the Akans mainly the fantis in the late 50's and 60's . then came the rawlings who caused again the exodus of the Akans this time mainly the twi speakers led by the Ashantis . today there is an estimate of from 10 to 15 million Akans living in the diaspora who will support any revolution or war effort that will lead to to the freedom of the Akans . This voice in this pepeni/ayigbe desolate wilderness has been threatened , so called monitored and yet still goes around preaching this gospel of freedom to all but no one has dared betray him as we speak the truth . the patriotic and nationalism movement grows stronger every day and today we have achieved the political unity of the Akans despite the treacherous chiefs and collaborating so called political leaders , we now merge and close the gaps between the various Akan tribes and clans while taking note of our enemies . those who are not for us we consider enemies that cant be trusted . we will leave these idiots living in a feudal mentality whose greatest desire is to have maids and houseboys ie slave labour instead of securing a better standard for all irrespective of their status. these fools reject the 21st century and do not realize its their own children who will have a miserable future as we shall surely succeed to split the country like the Scots , long live the republic of Akan

Akans are the majority in Ghana, if we needed separate autonomy or wanted to rule Ghana why would we refuse to vote for Nana Akufo Addo to win? In fact, NPP has disappointed Akans, in that, if NPP with mostly Akan leaders who claim to represent Akans cannot reconcile and come together as one to win elections hands down, whereas NDC with 'afrafradom' people can be one to win even many Akan voters in elections, then is NPP not disappointing we Akans in the first place?

Why put in tribalism? Cocoa is grown in non Akan areas of Ghana too. Do the Cocoa farnmers want a stable price for their produce or a yoyo price system. Some of you politicize everything. Why did K4 not do it ? Your useless party under Busia desserminated the industry by sending away the labor force. It took The so called murderer' to rescucitate it. The time has come for some of you to apply the Ace Ankomah principle of unlearning and re learning . NPP is stuck in the past mind set and cannot see the future. Instead of tribes ask if your policies and strategies make sense. Let me ask you a question Apratheid is dead today, what was the stand of NPP? maintain the status quo. If I oppose that is that because of tribe?

NPP noise, typical NPP bombast, no sense whatsover, just play to the gallery. NPP does not make government policy and the rest of Ghana knows which government takes decisions in the interest of Ghana as a whole. If the government was paying the farmer more money than the previous world price to keep them stable, what is wrong with maintaining that price now when the world price has gone up? Especially when when it does not take a smart person to know the economy is confronted by challenges brought about by outside economic forces and also probably by NPP pig-headedness. They can make all the noise they want, Ghanaians are watching, and nobody is anybody's fool anymore.

Why cant Ghana govt export the final products not cocoa beans.
Why should the govt make profit from cocoa farmers. The govt should stop making profit from cocoa farmers and any other farmer.
Its shame for any govt to make profit from its people if the govt really care about them.
Profit shouldnt the target of any govt.
Let be fair to every farmer.

Our cocoa farmers have always received the short end of the stick. Timber merchants export their own products so as pineapple farmers,may be it was with good intention why governments from the past decided to take the monopoly of the cocoa industry I was a young child when I saw H.R.Drewry at Ejisu handling free clothes to farmers,in exchange for the right to purchase their products.J Llyons and other brokers also did their best.Cocoa farmers need to form a great association with good financial background,assembly good lawyers,penetrate the international cocoa market and negotiate from a strong front,if the government attempts to break the front,apply sanctions. They work very well.African heroes like the late Mandiba could make it partly with sanctions.If we do not shake up our farmers will toil for nothing now that their children are being denied free education.They biult the economy of this country now they are at the bottom end of the so called middle income economy action would remove mountains not wishful thinking.Get and use what you have to get what you want.Children of yam producers are enjoying free education and cocoa farmers are paying painfully for their wards.Special greeting to my dear farmers and to those who did not live long enough to enjoy their labor may the good Lord keep their souls near the Cross of Jesus Christ,Amen.

The only people who don't enjoy anything from Mother Ghana 's bountiful resources are its children,how ironic is that.

It is not true that Government cheats cocoa farmers. Farmers' cost to FOB include:
1. Producer price currently at 3,392 ghana cedi per tonne.
2. The borrowing cost of accessing loan to purchase cocoa.
3. Scholarship for Farmers' children
4. Social Security scheme for farmers
5. Farmers housing scheme
6. Subsized fertilizers for cocoa farmers
7. Mass spraying of cocoa farms
In addition to this, look at the International Cocoa Organization -
ICCO monthly average cocoa price US$ from Jan - Dec 2013
Jan-13 2,275.44
Feb-13 2,197.70
Mar-13 2,153.36
Apr-13 2,294.49
May-13 2,345.73
Jun-13 2,283.58
Jul-13 2,308.53
Aug-13 2,483.61
Sep-13 2,616.05
Oct-13 2,730.70
Nov-13 2,755.17
5-Dec 2,788.69
To enable COCOBOD access a syndicated loan to purchase cocoa for 2013/2014, it is obliged secure the loan with a Receivable Backed Security that involves selling about 75% of the cocoa forward at contract close. During that time cocoa price was hovering around US$2,200 per tonne. So it is misleading to use the current price of US$2,788.69 to incite farmers against the Government.
