NDC PROPAGANDA MACHINE no matter what you do the people are slowly waking up to the reality that is ndc . ndc is a mafia criminal organization with extremely malicious intent which thrives on fueling conflicts between brothers while through the back door looting anything of value until one day the country becomes a barren desert with a poisonous toxic environment. We know your tactics well anytime an Akan stands up or a righteous methodist priest cries foul you set about destroying their reputations or pinning all kinds of lies so they are practically lynched in broad day light. the govt acts like its a copy from north korea led by mad men with hearts of stone . waa look at your ministers mike hammah / hannah tetteh for example selling out our future in the our own ports that they did not build and latter on saddling us with 200,000 chinese galamsay , these are your ministers of transport , lands , industry and foreign affairs , we are doomed for if just these 2 toxic individuals can do this imagine what the rest are doing . ndc has selected the worst characters backed by the hegemony of the ayigbe and the tribalism from the north . these worthless people who cant even put together music or a song that we can enjoy because their hearts are consumed with evil hatred for the light of the Akan. God did not even give them better music which is free why should we give them anything?these dregs of the toilet refuse to see the evil the ndc are securing for their own people . instead of creating sustainable industries such as food processing and organizing cash crops just as the cocoa was done , cotton processing all the way to fashion designing and branding which would give their people millions of jobs the rather award bogus senseless contracts and phantom projects for outrageous kickbacks. at any moment there are over 500 factories, processing plants and institutions that can be set up in the volta and and 3 northern regions but that would mean over 10,000 in Akan areas due to the higher potential there so because of skinpain they chose to do nothing . they say our women are ugly apes but they cant help dreaming about their beauty as when you look at their women one sees their beady rats eye look, cruelty and thieving desires . yes we are not the same and do not have values that are in anyway compatible as we live in different dimensions . when the ec calls for the referendum i hope the question is put so we ask our people do we really want to stay together or to each his own . personally i do not believe they will ever change rather things can only get worse and end up in a war . long live the republic of Akan

Trigger-happy NDC Police and their killing-for-fun policy.

The beastly and barbaric rule of the p/NDC in the 80s and 90s is been revisited right under a so-called constitutional rule.

Funny enough, when they are sent on peace-keeping missions,they never kill a fly of the host country, but they ready and willing to kill their fellow countrywo/men on any flimsy excuse.

With 60% of the security forces of Ghana being Ewes (who constitute only 12% of the Ghanaian population), discerning Ghanaians are not surprised to hear the daily mowing down of fellow non-Ewe Ghanaians by the NDC Police with arms purchased by the Ghanaian Taxpayer.

Are you brain-dead to know that Ashanti Region is engulfed by Brong-Ahafo, Eastern, Central and Western Regions, so that there is no way Ashanti Region WILL survive without the other regions?

Bring it on! Block the roads and finally break away from Ghana.

You will have to "witch-fly" you containers from Lagos (because you will not be allowed to use Tema and Takoradi ports) and will not be allowed to use and of the roads leading to Ashanti Region.

You'ld also fly from Kumasi to Lagos/Abidjan or Wagadougou and board planes to Europe, America etc.

Under the 4th republican constitution, demonstrations are legal and granted under the constitution and so why is it that, police brutality has become the order of the day to cower the masses, to put fear in the masses, to use the barrel of the gun to silence, citizens protesting legally against official inaction on their legitimate needs and concerns as hardworking and taxpaying Ghanaians? The NDC gov't needs to wake up to their responsibilities and desist from acting with impunity and coercing and brutalizing the masses by using the police, who should be protecting the masses instead of injuring and maiming them, on the orders of the NDC gov't. The acts of brutality which is gradually creeping into the body politic of Ghana under the watch of the NDC gov't led by John Mahama has repercussions for the country and the clergy, civil society organizations, human rights groups, think tanks, opinion leaders, the international community, red cross, etc, etc, need to speak to the creeping menace of subjugation through the barrel of the gun and militarism in a democracy and the masses mandate to demonstrate which is their human and constitutional right.

Ghana will never move forward if each Ghanaian look at issues or discuss issues with a "political lense". Whether it is Nkrumah, Rawlings, Kuffour, Mills or Mahama, we are all Ghanaians and should speak as Ghanaians. One Nation, One People with One Destiny. Even Col.

Well done to the police. We should not allow a very few disgruntle idiots and rats to cause confusion in this country, just because their uncles are not in power. What was the reasons for holding the whole populations for ramson? This is not a peaceful demonstrations. It is hooliganism and criminal acts. They deserved it more than that.

Do honestly believe it's right to intimidate or harass people or you're just playing politics with this national issue? Where in the world do people have a legal right to intentionally block a road preventing pedestrians and cars to pass? We need to be more civilized than that and stop this "patapaa" n taking the law into our own hands nonsense. Why those drivers did not convince all the drivers to standstill until their demands are met? Even though it has to be investigated to know what transpired to the shootings, yet we don't have to condone such behaviors.

Ashaiman riots: Roads minister, others should be fired – Consultant
Angry drivers and youth blocked major entry and exit routes to the Ashaiman Municipality of Accra, Monday morning.

The youth also seized the toll booths and made away with cash and other valuables and burnt tires.

The demonstration was to get city authorities to fix the bad state of the roads in Ashaiman.

Speaking on Joy FM's Top Story, the transport consultant said Ashaiman is a major economic factor in the City because it provides 50% of meat consumed in Accra and holds a population of 300,000.

He said it now took 45 minutes to travel a stretch of road which previously took 15 minutes.

He added somebody ought to be made responsible for this poor state of affairs at Ashiaman.

Cecil Garbrah said it was likely that funds would have been earmarked for the project and wondered why the road has still not been constructed.

If funds have been provided and yet the road remains deplorable then, starting from the top, the minister of Roads and Highways ought to be fired, he suggested.

Garbrah said the Teshie road is also suffering a similar state of neglect and alerted authorities to direct their attention to this road to forestall a repeat of violent demonstrations by residents there.

The Municipal Chief Executive of Ashaiman, Numo Adinotey Addison, said construction of the road has started.

He blamed the slow pace of the construction of the road to the centralised nature of the local government system.

According to him, the threshold in developing that stretch of road is beyond the capacity of the Municipal Assembly and yet the Central Government, which has to fund the construction of the road, is faced with limited funds.

He said if the Assemblies had been decentralised they would have been able to raise monies for the completion of the project.

He noted, however, that work has started fervently and will be completed in no time.

In every country the citizens have a right to demonstrate to air their grievances to the public. Also there are certain rules the demonstrators must follow no matter where you are in that country. The first rule is to seek permission from the police, and the same police will protect the demonstrators through out the exercise. Now my question is DID THE DEMONSTRATORS SEEK PERMISSION FROM THE POLICS? I can say A BIG NO. Which means they(demonstrators) have different agenda for that day. Demonstrating does not mean destroy government property or infringe on somebody.As the adage goes if persuation fails force must be applied so the police did the right thing. This thing will not happen in any part of the ghana EXCEPT ASHANTI REGION.
