The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

One of them openly supported racism, apartheid and naked robbery, whilst the other not only spent money but helped to train freedom fighters from South Africa.

The gathering of the wise and dumb presidents and leaders of the world. Do we need to list the DUMB ones who cannot even manage their homes yet are given this onerous responsibility of managing a country? We will see the difference at the memorial service when the wise and civilized leaders will be separated from the non thinkers and precisely semi illiterate leaders! RIP Mandela, viva Winnie Mandela. Your lifelong partner belongs to the ages.

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

SOUTH AFRICA.
INFO TO:
H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA
SPECIAL INFO ALERT TO:
H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
HON. SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY
H.E. UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL BAN-KI MOON
DATE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2013
SUBJECT: THIS IS TO REGRETTABLY SEND MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA AND THE BEREAVED FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA NELSON MANDELA OF THE SAD DEATH OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
THAT IT IS ALWAYS SAID AND POSTULATED THAT "TO EVERY LIFE JOURNEY, THERE IS A BEGINNING AND THERE IS ALSO DEFINITELY AN END" AND HEREIN, AGAIN NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE OF SOTH AFRICA AND AFRICA BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD WOKE UP AND HEARD THE NEWS ON THE AIR-WAVES OF THE SOUNDS OF RADIO AND TELEVISION THE SAD DEATH OF THE LEGENDERY AND A MAN I PERSONALLY CALLED "THE DOYEN OF SOUTH AFRICA DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW" DEMISED.
THAT DEATH OCCURRENCE AGAIN, IS ANOTHER PROOF OF THE FACT THAT "DEATH IS INEVITABLE TO ANY MAN OR WOMAN NO MATTER THE STATURE OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PERSON AND NO MATTER WHAT FATE OF HEIGHTS ATTAINED IN BOTH SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL AND OTHER SOCIETAL STRATIFICATION CLASS THE PERSON ATTAINED THAT WHEN THE HOUR MOMENT OF TIME ARRIVES WHICH IS UNKNOWN TO US THOUGH MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS MADE SUCH AN INROAD INTO SUCH FATE DETERMINATIONS BUT STILL HIDDEN FROM ALL OF US IS "THE EXACT DAY, THE EXACT TIME, HOUR, MINUTES AND SECONDS" OF SUCH INEVITABLE OCCURRENCE ARE STILL HIDDEN FROM EVEN THE BEST SCIENTISTS OF THE WORLD.
MOREOVER, WHAT IS MORE INTRIGUING IN NATURE, CHARACTER AND FORM ARE THAT SCIENCE CANNOT PREVENT OR STOP SUCH OCCURRENCE IF THE TIME ARRIVED FOR IT TO OCCUR.
IT IS ONE OF SUCH EVENTS AGAIN THAT THE WORLD IS WITNESSING THAT THE GREAT LEGENDERY "MADIBA" H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA NELSON MANDELA HAS PASSED AWAY TO ETERNITY.
THAT NO WORD OR WORDS IN THIS PLANET WORLD CAN OR COULD BEST DESCRIBE THE MAN "MADIBA" AND EVEN IF THERE IS OR THERE ARE THEN THOSE WORDS MUST BY NOW BE EXHAUSTED IN VIEW OF THE VARIOUS MESSAGES AND CONDOLENCES EXPRESSED BY WORLD LEADERS AND ALL OTHERS.
HOWEVER, SINCE TRUTH NEEDS NO DECORATIONS OF WORDS BUT THE BARE FACTS THAT I REGRETTABLY SUBMIT THAT NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA AND AFRICA THAT LOST THIS GREAT LEADER AND INSPIRER BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD LOST A TRUE GREAT MAN WHO WAS THE "DOYEN OF SOUTH AFRICA DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW".
THAT HE WAS A VISIONARY LEADER AND OPPORTUNITY GIVER AND CREATED THE PLATFORM FOR ALL OTHERS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE GOVERNANCE OF SOUTH AFRICA WHEN HE WAS FINALLY RELEASED FROM 27 YEARS JAILED AND BECAME THE FIRST BLACK ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA.
THOUGH HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE A SECOND TERM BUT HE VOLUNTARILY GAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIS VICE PRESIDENT IN THE PERSON OF H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA THOMAS MBEKI WHO WAS SUCCESSFULLY ELECTED AS THE SECOND BLACK PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA.
THAT THE MOST SPECTACULAR DISPENSATION OF THE LATE FORMER PRESIDENT H.E.NELSON MANDELA WAS THAT HE APPOINTED THE WHITE PRESIDENT DURING THE APARTHEID REGIME WHO ADOPTED DIALOGUE TO FREE NELSON MANDELA FROM PRISON H.E. FORMER WHITE RACE PRESIDENT DE CLERK HIS SECOND VICE PRESIDENT AND MADE THE GOVERNMENT "AN ALL INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT".
THAT IF THERE IS ANY HONOUR (HONOR) TO BE DONE TO H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA LEGACY THEN THE ENTIRE WORLD MUST GIVE "PEACE A CHANCE TO RULE IN THE WORLD".
THAT DIALOGUE TO BE ADOPTED TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS SITUATIONS AND IF THERE SHOULD BE ANYTHING WORTHY TO FIGHT THEN I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT IT SHOULD BE A FIGHT AGAINST "POVERTY, SICKNESS AND DISEASES, HUNGER AND IGNORANCE" AND FOR THESE CANCERS THERE ARE NO EXCUSE(S) FOR THE WORLD TO ADOPT A COLLECTIVE APPROACH TO FIGHT THEM TO GIVE A BEFITTING TRIBUTES AND TO PROTECT THE LEGACY OF THE LATE H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA NELSON MANDELA, THERETO.
MAY I NOW REGRETTABLY CONVEY TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA AND THE BEREAVED FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF MY CONDOLENCES AND ALSO TO REMIND THEM THAT MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE!

If Nkrumah was alive today, would he have shared the podium and spoken at this occasion? The answer is YES! Not only was Nkrumah regarded as a wise and development oriented leader in a continent full of twerps juxtaposing as leaders but he had the foresight and the ability that endeared other great leaders to him. Can we say of the recent charlatans who are leading the continent now?

My question is, HOW MANY OF THESE WORLD LEADERS ATTENDED ATTA MILLS'S EVENT, my brothers and sisters???

Second question: When Visionless and Clueless Mahama is over 95 years old and later the Lord Calls him, is he going to cluelessly attract such a powerful world crowd?????
