Hmmmm. But everybody keeps saying. ... i didn't vote for them. Inquiring minds want to know who voted for these national wreckers brigade then? Ghanaian voting behaviours are based on ethnic hatred and monetary greed. Come election time, all the politicians have to do is stoke the embers of ethnic hatred against the Akans, and then dole out some cash to their impoverished voting bloc and voila... they herd themselves all the way to the voting booths to vote against their own interests. Lord have mercy on us.

You're a teacher, I guess. While disinterested in your argument, I spotted this:
'I could choose to dwell on the fuel price hikes sighted[sic] by the petitioners of the latter but I choose not to.'

Ask why 'sic' is attached to the word 'sighted' and your answer is that the petitioners 'cited' (mentioned or stated) and not sighted (seen).

After the coordinator 'but', the verb 'choose' needed to be in past tense to match with its counterpart, could choose, in the first independent clause. Corrected, the sentence might be this:

'I could choose to dwell on the fuel price hikes cited by the petitioners of the latter but I chose not to.'

See these:

1. Although the first was a partisan one, the Accra demonstration is of concerned Ghanaians of various political persuasions removing some sort of biasedness [sic].

The word 'bias', a noun, is enough.

See these:

1. Although the first was a partisan one, the Accra demonstration is of concerned Ghanaians of various political persuasions removing some sort of biasedness [sic].

The word 'bias', a noun, is enough.

2. A colleague earlier on [sic] showed me a Whatsup[sic] message....

The expression 'earlier on' is incorrect. Replace with earlier or early on. The word 'Whatsup' should be 'WhatsApp'.

3. This CEO was at Accra in a press conference as if with the magic wand lambasting past ideas on the management of the Savana [sic] ecological zone project.

The word Savana should be 'Savannah' or 'Savanna'.

4. The blind catches the child while its [sic] asleep.

The word 'its' is an adjective and cannot play the role of a noun. Thus, 'it's or 'it is' is the correct version where 'it' referring to the child serves as the subject of the verb 'is asleep'.

5. The corruption and oppression syndicate that engulf [sic] the whole of cabinet has been one criteria [sic].

The verb 'engulf' should be 'engulfs' for its subject, syndicate, is singular. Both the words corruption and oppression are modifiers of the singular noun 'syndicate'.

The word 'criteria' should be criterion. Compare 1 pens.

6. Their faith not withstanding let [sic] no one make the mistake this government is run on illegalities and demons.

The subject, faith, is singular and needs a singular verb, 'lets'.

7. What of the Action Chaple [sic] plot...

Too obvious for 'Chaple' does not exist'.

8. Let’s see what comes out parliament.

A word is missing between out and parliament.

I'll just stop here.

Learn to hone and edit your work before sending it out for publication. These are some of the few distracting errors in your write-up.

Good day!

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
It is true that "its" in this context should be "it is" as you pointed out but "its" is a possessive pronoun and therefore a nominal item. Compare "The snake's skin" and "Its skin"; "Ama's dress"; "Her dress".
It is no adjective by any stretch of the imagination!

2. The corruption and oppression syndicate that engulf [sic] the whole of cabinet has been one criteria [sic].

The verb 'engulf' should be 'engulfs' for its subject, syndicate, is singular. Both the words corruption and oppression are modifiers of the singular noun 'syndicate'.

YOU ARE WRONG.

"Syndicate" is a collective noun, and the writer can take advantage of a plural verb if he chooses to view the "syndicate" in terms of the elements within the group. This is known as notional concord!

3. Their faith not withstanding let [sic] no one make the mistake this government is run on illegalities and demons.

The subject, faith, is singular and needs a singular verb, 'lets'.

WRONG AGAIN!

In the clause, "Let no one make the mistake..." the item "let" is hortatory and has no need for any agreement with any subject. The item operates more as the initial verb in an imperative sentence...."Pay no heed to Idris' bogus grammar!"

I raised and queried only 8 points, leaving the rest. You responded somehow vaguely to only 3.

What about the remaining 5? Clearly, they are perfect. Instead of acknowledging that first, you concluded rather sadly that my grammar is bogus. Unfortunate, Dr Sas.

Each of you pontificating is guilty of what you accuse the president of. Which of you is clean and not corrupt.
You believe the little acts of corruption at your work places do not matter.
You see hens cannot lay the eggs of eagles.
As a corrupt people any corrupt fellow will have to be president.
You sit in your houses creating filth, spend the whole day talking on radio, over invoice documents, take salaries for no work done, yet you expect things to work. No way Ghanaians will continue to have wishful thinking and wallow in mediocrity.
We either change or Mahama can resign and you bring George Washington and he will do nothing with a corrupt people like us
