DO YOU STILL WANT TO WALLOW IN POVERTY? THIS IS A MAN WHO SAID GHANAIAN CHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE FREE EDUCATION IN 2012. THE NDC SAID IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NOW NDC IS SAYING FREE EDUCATION IN 2016. THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR, NDC IS A USELESS PARTY. ALL THAT THEY KNOW IS TO HINDER PROGRESS AND LIE TO GHANAIANS. LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY NOW. NDC DO NOT WANT THE MASSES TO BE EDUCATED. GHANAIANS PUT POLITICS/ETHNICITY ASIDE AND COMPARE NDC AND NPP. PNDC AND NDC HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR OVER 25 YEARS BUT THEY ALWAYS COME AND TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK. WHERE IS THE NHIS. THEY WILL ALWAYS BLAME SOMEBODY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. GHANA STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND DO NOT ALLOW NDC TO FOOL US, THEY ARE NOTHING BUT THEIVES.

Edem, you do have a point, but Nana Addo should slow down. Some of us are prepared to do the vigilante work free of charge. I have never voted in my life. Even my daughter's pet cat knows the NDC is not doing enough. It was relaxing on my daughter's lap when it saw Mahama on TV, it jumped off and went looking for food! No party has done enough for Ghana anyway, but since we are still in a trial and error democracy, some of us have decided to try him and if he faults na wa for him.

People say Nana Addo is smart, but to me he's yet to prove it. He should look over his shoulder most of the time. Not because Mahama is coming, but because he has six bad guys with some UP tradition skills up their sleeves. We all know the UP tradition is to get rid of opponents no matter what! I can bet you it was his own people who were going round in 2012 about his his alleged drug use. This time round they will do worse.

When Nana Addo attacked the voters' register recently on Ghanaweb, a lot of contributors' comments were about the same register being used in bringing their Kufuor to power. Why didn't he Nana Addo attack the register at that crucial time? If up till now Nana Addo cannot suspect the Ashantis sabotaged him in 2012 and are hell bent on repeating it and will not do anything about it, then some of us will still keep our votes in our wallets!

Read this:
Nana Akufo-Addo told party Delegates in the country’s Upper East Regional capital, Wa, on Friday that victory must not slip through their fingers in 2016 as it did in 2012.

The capital of the Upper East Region is Bolgatanga and that for the Upper West Region is Wa. So, in which of these towns was Nana when he made this speech?

This limited knowledge about our small country is the main cause of hatred among people who are ancestrally and culturally related.

Why should a trained journalist interchange the capitals of two regions? After all, all the regions in Ghana are just 10. Do you expect a journalist in the US to interchange the names of any of the 50 states? Shame onto the average Ghanaian journalist.

When drug addicts are high after smoking, they see imaginary things. F0r example, after JM thrashed Nana at the polls in 2012, the wee was telling Nana that if some votes were annulled from his opponent's strongholds he could be declared winner. More wee smoking finally convinced him that he actually won.

Worse still, when it was obvious to all that the petition at the Supreme Court was totally flawed, the wee still convinced that he was robbed of legal victory.

We must pray that drugs never turns any Ghanaian citizen into a drug caricature like Nana Addo.

If Nana did in fact make this statement, I will assume he is an idiot in the sense that there is no clear difference between 'all die be die' and 'come hell or high water'. No matter how anybody looked at or tried to explain it, 'all die be die' cost Nana and the NPP. I don't think Nana will make another statement that he and the NPP will spend the next two years explaining, soothing, and trying to diffuse.

Nana needs to show a conciliatory posture and not the 'must' way of doing it. You have so much advantage over others in removing president Mahama from office so do not mess it up if you really want it.

Akufo Addo, hear what the word of God says,'Lift not up your horn on high:speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge:he puttteth down one, and setteth up another' (Ps 75v5v7).
Again, the word of the LORD says it is God who 'removeth kings and setteth up kings' (Dan 2v21).
Finally, Akufo Addo, know of a certainty that it is God who 'ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the basest of men' (Dan 4v17)

The man at his game again.The NPP should win no matter what.The nation would like to know what will happen if the NPP loses again? The NPP is behaving as if it is the only party destined to rule the nation and has instant answers to the social and economic problems facing the nation.Ghanaians will never accept a party which will create a few rich,powerful ruling class and a 99 percent poor,struggling ghanaians.Ghanaians will not accept a party which preaches'the property owning philosophy'and whose members expropriates state assets to achieve that goal.The NPP is just not the party for the majority poor in Ghana.

That is where he will see the true men of this country. Yes, he has started making his foolish pronouncement. The other time, it was a bogus voter register,today,it is "come hell or high water" Who is going to vote for you to be president? Is it your village ritual murderes? What is it that has changed about this tribal warlord for which discerning Ghanaians would vote for this wee smoker to rule over them! We leave to see. He should just prepare his coffin down.
