kwasea bi nti TRUTH in our country under the administration, is a taboo,
why NDC so-called politicians and their monkey supporters hate to hear the truth in this country?

Is that how you were brought up in your home or learnt it from some stupid NDC crooks? I pity yourself and your children as they are going to
grow up to be dangerous people if not
arm robbers and liars. Kwasea bi nti
you hate to hear what is truth. Nana
Akuffo Addo will win again the coming
2016 and become the credible President
in our country take it or leave it.

I don't need to read this before sending my comment. This actually tells you that NDC as evil party has never ever won any elections in Ghana. Give thbanks to Kwadwo Afari Gyan and opepeni Atuguba as a judge. These two evil men helped NDC to win 2012 elections. Besides it is NDC fools who believed that they won 2012 elections.

The President is his own worst enemy. He has succeeded in surrounding himself with yes-men and yes-women so that he can control them for his parochial agenda.

It is obvious that the President doesn't care about the party that brought him to power. Rather, he has embarked on a very selfish and greedy agenda to please his wife, family and friends and some party big wigs.

Why should the NDC and the good people of Ghana suffer just because of the President's recalcitrant and arrogant attitude to governance.

He is the President with all the security apparatus at his disposal. He must therefore be responsible enough to do an honest review of his job performance. He WILL WEEP WHEN HE GETS THE DAMNING REPORT OF HIS PERFORMANCE AND THE HARM HE IS DOING TO THE NDC.

Tweeaaaaaaaaaa, what should we expect from him after appointing a hopelessly incompetence CHIEF OF STAFF
harassed by a wife who thinks she has ARRIVED.

NDC is down but not out

The Good Book has it that only a fool says there is no GOD.

Askenov, a great Russian writer's book "God sees the truth but waits" is highly recommended to Ghanaians to read.

JDM obviously wanted to be president by hook or by crook SO HE CAN AMASS ENOUGH WEALTH TO LOOK AFTER HIS 23 CHILDREN (and still counting). He had access to Ghanaian tax payers money so he used it. Chiefs were given handouts, and some continue to receive handouts. Indeed, John and his very childish and illiterate ministers have their own way of thinking, to them money is everything. They behave there is no tomorrow.

John's sad and stupid face is a reflection of what will happen to him, his ministers and their families. Corruption is genocide - JDM and his appointees have committed mass murder and they will account fully for it. J. J. Rawlings killed innocent army officers, but with his pocket stuffed, he has kept quiet while Ghanaians are being burgled.

The day of reckoning is not too far. GOD SEES THE TRUTH BUT WAITS.

This goes to confirm what happened in London before Nana Addo left London. As keynote speaker at a lecture at SOSA the panicking government of John Mahama rushed to send his Foreign Minister, Finance Minster, Communication Minster and a Deputy Information Minister just to come to London to defend them. Nana been a statesman gave a patriotic lecture which made the responding Foreign Minster just look stupid to the audience.
We can't wait to enjoy the efficient and effective government of Nana's government.

Ei,Okukuseku, onipa bone ho ye hu.It looks as if Bature is switching sides,as he is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.To my translation of the above underlying termnology indicates that,the treacherous man must be feared.This Bature man has read in between the lines and had found that,no condition is permanent and more so,the writing on the wall suggests that his bed fellows NDCs are crumbling distingtively and must look for a place of refuge should the NDC fails to win the next elections in 2016 and hand over power to NPP led by Nana Akuffo Addo,the man of vision whose leadership would transform Ghana into a Great Nation.Nana is surely going to win inspite of all the evil plans perpetrated by the NDC to course his downfall,but this time round, the suppernatural intervention of the lord will let the inevitable to happen in favour of Nana.

This writer is not honest in his writing or is just not happy about the failing of this government.How do you expect a government to succeed when governance is propelled by propaganda?.It is quite sad to read that automatic adjustment of fuel prices which was introduced during Kuffour's time has become a bad policy as this writer portrays.This policy does not work for the poor if the economy is poorly managed as being done in Ghana.Prices are changing not because the commodity price of oil has changed but because inflation is on the rise and the Cedi is loosing value. This writer must do some research and get some understanding next time.

Now let's get thing clear here,under Prof. Mills administration;Ghana was known to be the fastest growing economy in the world with 14% GDP and 9.6 inflation rate.Any country that wanted to climb the ladder of Middle income status should have at least 10 years steady economic growth of 10%.If president doesn't know that then he shouldn't be in politics.I totally disagree with Bature for putting Ghana's economic challenges on the shoulder of the vice president.How could Bature credit Mahama at the Head of Economic Management under Prof.Mills and at the same time cover him for not being responsible for the mess he has created for himself?Why do you want to blame Amissah Arthur wwhen it was Mahama who fired the most efficient Finance Minister,Dr Kwabena Duffour?Bature must put in his head that Mahama has failed and Ghanaians want a new govt,no more NDC again unless NPP mess up their campaign strategy.Who told Mahama to fire Dr Kwabena Duffour?Over to you with your cheap ministers.Thank you

Some of us heard of how corrupt and indiscipline the president was but did not believe it until he assumed the reigns of power in this country.Just yesterday i was given a brute awakening of this government moral decadence when a friend told me of a deputy minister buying six bedroom flat for a girl friend.We also here of fleets of buildings,expensive cars and fuel stations acquired at lightening speed .Of course my friend know me not to be a latter day saint in NDC being a boys scout loyalist through the PNDC/PDC/CDR.I bowed down my head in shame whiles my friend dissected the unprecedented corruption in this government to the extent of telling me that even people in Flagstaff house are unhappy with the crust corruption and leakage causing untold hardship for the suffering masses.He seems to have a lot of insight about happenings in this government by concluding the president is aware of an eminent,emphatic,embarrassing defeat come 2016 and now focus on personal business and gratification.Some of us had our lives seriously threatened just because we campaigned for Mahama the northerner to be president.The aftermath of the 2012 election still have some of us fighting cases in court as 'brave soldiers' to expose corrupt elements, hypocrites and criminals taking advantage of the inherent weaknesses in this government.When i hear disheartening stories of this nature in government,i begin to question what kind of wealth the president and his team intend to make in all honesty.The NDC traditionally is not capitalist oriented who believe in 'CHOP MAKE I CHOP'. This trend of politics and governance of covering up rot to foster parochial interest against that of the suffering masses is the bases of the woes of a 'Mahama led Government.The reason why the economy is being run down with corruption pervasive is because of compromise in the name of democracy and civility with infiltrators.The bare fact is that most public institutions heads are NPP sympathizers pretending to be NDC.Connivance with powerful government functionaries through the usual bribery and corruption is the reason why they can't be kicked out.The president knows this but remains pretentious in his disposition.Nobody is saying arrest and jail people without evidence.What we are saying is flushing out unscrupulous characters bend on making your government unpopular.The obvious reason against this is that the current NDC either by act of omission or commission is now capitalist oriented with top officials both in government and civil service conniving to loot the nation under cover.The evidence is overwhelming at a mere glance of opulence being displayed by government functionaries.(remember the colossal hard cash picked from Ablakwa's car at the washing bay),the scandals in GYEEDA and SADA currently.The sole commissioner confirmed the connivance and massive looting of state cofers.Justice Apau reportedly wept in pain reminding all of us particularly the youth of our patriotic duties even if we are not Nationalist.We simply need a change to curb the corruption and wastage causing needless,untold hardship irrespective of party colors.An incorruptible and discipline leader with the charisma to ensure strong and efficient institutions.Some of us in 2016 will be informed by this.

It is no news that a long standing opposition leader becomes popular when a country is going through economic difficulties. And it is even irrelevant when that popularity comes at a time far from election period. What is important for us as a Nation is for the President to keep his cool and focus all his attention in delivering. President Obama received a dimmer popularity and yet he won the election hands down. When it comes to debating the issues between the President and Nana Addo, you would see Nana Addo pant for solutions because he would be wish thinking whilst the President will be talking hard facts, especially when he has already admitted that times are hard already and that there are putting in place mechanisms to resolve the challenges.

This article is well written, and one of the best I've read so far. The author, although pro-NDC, was objective in his anlysis. These are the type of people Mahama should associated with. Those who will not sugar-coat the political atmosphere to protect their positions, but those that will tell him realities of the day so that he can make calculated adjustments. Mahama is a very nice and thoughtful guy, caught up in a corrupt, self-centered party. I feel so sorry for him!!!

Real interesting reading! So the issue is NOT about Mahama and Amissa delivering on "WHAT" they promised BUT "popularity rally?" Shieeeeei! These two nincompoops promised us a better Ghana without VISION! Now, except their cohorts like asiedu nketiah, fiifi kwetey, allotey jacobs, and, of course, okudzoto ablakwa, all other Ghanaians are crying and look at what we're discussing here! Nana Addo's popularity!Like you rightly said, take it or leave it, the man still stays very popular; so is his vice presidential candidate! They are not in government, simple and short!

WOW, Mickey, you write well and to the point - the man still stays very popular. I like and adore the fact that through all the negative ad hominem, he still rises above them all and NEVER EVER COMPLAINS about personal vendetta. That is a statesman - very much like my sweet son President Obama - no vindictiveness - none whatsoever - just focusing on the plight of the masses - Awurade enhyira President Obama and Ghana's savior in waiting - Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo.

Mahama is his own enemy,why did he fire the most efficient Finance Minister in Mills administration,Dr Kwebena Duffour?Bature can't blame the Vice President for Mahama's actions because Bawumia is always in the air criticising NDC govt.NDC must take collective responsibility for failing to sustain the progress Prof MIlls left behind.As for election 2016,it will be better to vote NDC out but if NPP brings back Nana Addo the NDC will escape defeat due to strategic factors.I think Bature is trying to fool NPP to let them believe that Nana Addo and Bawumia are the best for them.This is not true,none of the election petitioners could face NDC.Thank you.

What kind of deprave analysis is Bature trying to do? where in the world have you seen a failure with a soaring popularity? I expect that people would even stop mentioning the name "Mahama" self.

There is no where in this vast world that a group of truants can rule. NDC is full of truants, vagabonds etc hence their abysmal performance. Name one person in NDC that has any credibility? None whatsoever and without credibility, how can they put structures in place to rule?

Ghanaians are beginning to see through the veil about how petty the ruling party is. In the days where some of us are oblivious with the prevailing wind in the nation, is gradually diminishing. When the economic condition in the nation is biting hard, people turn their attention to the president. Since NDC came to power, how many times have they increased the price of fuel despite the fact that we are producing oil? They have withdraw all subsidies with flimsy excuses but have failed to put the right alternative in place. How can the people of Ghana accept fuel increases at least every two or three months under this government.

Remember that in Ghana, when the price of fuel goes up, it affect every sector of the economy and I think NDC has no clue to that.

The times of the stinking propaganda are over. The times for the nation wrecking sycophancy are over. The times of the insults are over, although it seems to be a very strong attribute of the presidency, to still engage in insulting language against the masses. The times of the intimidation by the NDC hoodlums ably backed by the security apparatus of the state is over. The ugly spectre of the culture of silence which led to Kwame Gyan being suspended from his job is over. Similarly, the lies are over.
Ghanaians have had it up to here with the bastardization of the democratic ideals and principles carefully crafted to promote the public good under the recklessly corrupt, looting and amazingly incompetent Mahama/Amissah Arthur led NDC gov't, which has seen the economy of the country in the pits in the presence of oil, which has seen our health system collapse in the presence of an oil economy, which has seen our electricity generation collapse in the presence of an oil economy, businesses and industry collapsing as a result of unintelligent policy interventions and soaring utility prices, which has seen educational standards decline and on the verge of collapse with unavailability of infrastructure such as 50SHS's every year, chalk etc, etc, lack of feeding grants, school feeding program all collapsing in the midst of an oil economy. Indeed, youth unemployment and overall unemployment has worsened drastically leading to suicides, robbery and a general worsening of the security situation in the country. In the midst of these intractable challenges and rotten mess, officially sanctioned thievery, looting, sleaze, and corruption is at an all time high and apologetic best, involving the family and friends looting brigade of the Mahama led NDC gov't. Lawlessness and unmitigable reckless impunity has assumed a cancerous ascendancy of it's own under the inept NDC led gov't. Incompetence has underpinned each and every action of the NDC gov't, and admissions of challenges of for example the SSPP, the economy, etc, etc, is a very poignant revelation of the level of performance of the NDC gov't led by John Mahama and Amissah Arthur.
Ghanaians are not immune to good governance indicators that have turned the sandy deserts of Dubai into a first world class society in the midst of oil, which the President finds very very prudent to spend his holidays together with his family and friends.
Ghanaians are not immune to the good governance indicators that have seen the President visiting South Africa for holidays and also for health checkups.
It is supremely clear that when the veil is removed, there's unanimity in the collective decision of the generality of Ghanaians that, the Mahama/Amissah Arthur NDC led gov't has been a grotesque and abject failure in delivering on the fundamentals to ensure the socio-economic growth and developement of the nation, and have not demonstrated any ability and absolutely no confidence to address the challenges which have become crisis, and have led to a collapse of the country, although they are still in denial. It is clear that, for Ghana to get back on the path of growth in a very positive and confident manner, the Mahama led NDC gov't would have to be massively booted out of office, for a far more adept team, to rescue the country from the pits of retrogression and stagnation which the Mahama/Amissah Arthur led NDC gov't has plunged the nation.

Go away with your one dimension nonscientific, and speculative journalism. Ghanaian journalist bore me to the core. Poor data collection, poor analysis and poor conclusions. Even from a layman's view which president has been popular until elections. Even Romney's popularity was put higher than that of Obama, but he still got beat. Why can't you stop speculation for once? Or you want a job at the flag Staff as the PR of Mahama by being alarmist?

Our focus should be on the livelihood of the people and how they can live up to 2016 before we can even turn attention on the chances of the contenders in 2016.
