  Let us not be fooled into ignoring the true motives and intentions of JJ's so called uprisings as the truth is evident upon reflection with wisdom and a just heart. It was nothing but a dubious plan and insidious agenda motivated by tribalism and hatred of the Akans . This is the greatest tragedy and the reason why the country can never develop, as long as the undercurrent of all political activity is the hatred and exclusion of everything Akan there can never be true unity and peace of mind . We now have generations of youth in absolute poverty who will never know what a job that can sustain a family is , brainwashed into thinking the perverse lies of this ndc are the right moral standards of the day, yes buga buga tactics designed to break the spirit of a free nation . They say we are only angry but the fact remains this was a tribal war still continuing against the Akans , you will never hear JJ mention the corrupt EWE such as woyome , segbefia and tsikata but rather any Ashanti public or private is the enemy and criminal and his follows will add drug barons . He will never see the evil corruption of his allies in this backstrabbing war against the Akans the northerners and other minorities such as the Gas. Without proof or the need to respect the law and human rights of the accused he will judge and execute innocent Akans into jail or death , even his long time traitor friend Mills was not good enough because he was Fanti and therefore not motivated enough to hate his brothers the Ashantis or npp. Forbes has put the mahamas in the list of being one of the most corrupt family in the country and Africa but JJ and the NDC are blind to this fact and obviously have succeeded in bribing our so called opposition NPP into compliance of the ongoing crimes . JJ , WHERE IS YOUR COUP NOW IN SWEEPING AWAY THIS CORRUPT GOVT ,is it because its now your ayigbe and pepeni who are now the one's stealing ?

  we are not all the same and since when did being a Ghanaian mean erasing one's identity and heritage ? i think its you who should go back to your jss school as in every sentence you have a mistake . All these Akans you mentioned belong to minority tribes but masquerade around pretending to members of the majority thus justifying their careers and thievery PV= Guan not Ashanti , Ahvois , Hannah Tetteh etc . also not Fantis so shut the fuck up until you get your facts straight . We Akans know well who our traitors and back stabbers are

  The genesis pof winner-takes-all is the weak constitution whose sell by date is long gone. It is a bastard constitution left from the vestiges of khakistocratic, kleptomaniac tyrants and anarchists. We need to considerably reduce the powers of the executive monarch by instituting checks and balances along the lines of the Westminster model. The current arrangement is the American model which does not suit our current economic and developmental needs. Let IEA spend their energies calling for reform and review of the current constitution, which has led to the institution of the prostitution of corruption.

  Yes the winner takes all by Ghana standards has been one the main causes of lack of economic development progress. What we need ia a National Economic Development plan (NDP) which would be legally binding on which ever party wines power. Deviation from the plan should lead to impeachment. This would ensure continuity of development programmes. The party menisfestoes should rather spell out how they are going to implement the plan.
