Is about time this Togolese Loud Mouth learns to keep his foul mouth shut. How can a schoolboy compare himself to a well educated scholar like Bawumia. He better go and read what came out today from Stanchart and the credit rating.
Idiot Like that. He is not dealing with ignorant NDC members only.

The Kuffuor led Maladroit government promised the world of a new Ghana cedi will gain value when pegged with the dollar, what we have now is not what was promised.Nothing was put in place by this illiterate Bawumia and his Kookoase economic gurus to sustain the parity of the cedi with other major currency.

When you do monetization, it means you have deliberately pegged your currency to the major ones with the hope that it's value will cope or improve.

Having this, we expected the BOP to improve through prudent economic policies but Bawumia's Dagati economic policies coupled with that of Koookoase bush meat economics only saw more importation of rice from india when Ghana could have invested in agriculture to produce own rice.And so, Bawumia should not think Ghanaians are illiterate as he is.

At this stage of our economic development, the only way is to borrow but invest the borrowing wisely into productive activities such as what the current government is doing.

That said, Bawumia should stop his Dagati economics as these days even the Kookoase opposition npp MP's are well awake.

What is this NDC? One will come out and say the meat is finished to the bone. Another will come out the next day to say we have no money in our coffers, the economy is is crises and the next day another person will come out and say the economy is better than that of Kuffour. Do you plan what you tell the public at all? Thank God the economy is now better than that of Kuffour. Kuffour was able to pay the salaries and arrears of teachers, doctors and other workers. Kuffour did not owe NHIS, School feeding program,and he was able to pay the districts what they were due. Why can't Mahama and his NDC government enjoying a better economy now fulfill its responsibilities? Don't throw dust in our eyes Fiifi, Ghanaians are now wiser than that. We are fed up with your never ending propaganda. STOP this otherwise you will be surprised come 2016. If we are black, tell us we are black PERIOD

Say it like it is, Mr. Fiifi Kwetey. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's "apocalypse now" economic fundamentals were simply deceiving and a minus to his credentials, period. In fact, what we saw in him the other day was just a renowned ideograph of "Kukurudian Mojo" on display like always when mandated by Ghanaians to go warmly while away the political reserved bench in opposition. A high coloured economic report of his indeed.

MAHAMA AND HIS CORRUPT NDC MUST TELL US WHAT EXACTLY THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE MASSIVE $20 BILLION THEY HAVE BORROWED IN JUST THE LAST 5 YEARS, IF HE IS SAYING,HE HAS NOT BORROWED FOR DRINK AND MERRY MAKING, WHICH MEANS CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE. ---- GHANAIANS MUST WAKE UP!! OUR FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK. WE CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS. BAWUMIA HAS ADMONISHED NDC AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN. NDC HAS RATHER VOWED TO BORROW MORE TO PLUNGE GHANA INTO MASSIVE DEBT. HABA! NDC.
NKWASEAFO BI NTI GHANA IS SICK!!! THE CEDI HAS ALREADY DIVED DEEP DOWN!!!!!!!------ WE NEED NANA'S WISDOM. HIS LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS. WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!!!

Mr man stop throwing dust in the eyes of the people " nko yie, ebi te yie ebe nso nte yie koraa thats the order of the day in ghana. where is the economic growth or adjusted inflation to make up for increase in inflation so that the masses will not feel the economic heat. your government has limited the amount of cash flow with orthodox economic principles. money need to circulate to fuel economy. you increased taxes in economic hardship and the side effect is a decrease in amount of money in peoples pocket hence limiting the purchasing power of the individual, is this monetary or fiscal policy or combo. Bawumia is making sense and will school you till thy kingdom come. i dont hold a degree in ecomomics as science student but i can humbly lecture you on what is wrong with ghana's economy and the way forward. stop the borrowing, reduce taxes, cut down interest rates on loans and investments and cut down on importation plus stop the chinese competing and killing our textile industries. Refrain from IMF advises which had never worked any magic in africa. you will be a fool to think the government in united states, Britain and else where do not subsidize on petroleum to relieve the masses on gas and petrol prices. we are practicing awkward economic principles.
