Nana’s sources of income did not come from his personal sweat. He is where he is as a result of the booty bequeathed to him by what his father looted from the economy and also the bribe his father took, serving as a traitor to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah. Now that he has used up all the wealth through dirty campaign and empty litigations, what he thinks of doing is using his demonstration talent to buy the conscience and lobby by using corrupt minds in leadership position in the country; some of them who pose as men of God, to chastise Government and make the country unstable. The tactics of Nana Addo is nothing new to what his father did to Ghanaians. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana? They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they remain perpetually slaves to neo colonialism. From his birth he was thought to backbite, destroy, kill and make shameless utterances, bully, join occult and make use of cannabis. If you are a discern citizen, I will entreat you sit up and think, get knowledge and don’t sell your conscience to these reckless generation who don’t care about you than to seek their self interest

Mr Otabil Up You! you have hit the nil right on the head. Ghana is gone down a million % ever in the history of its make.
Now have my take to the Nonesence voiced by Mr. Omane Boahma;
why is this Guy preventing the Minister from speaking his mind about the truth? Mr Omane Boamah is a hipocreate. Why should the minister not tell the people the truth.Yes the minister is Right the Boat (Ghana) is sinking, thefore Ghanaians, all had to get on board and paddle the boat to the Right course.
How can we sit uncorncern and let all these nomesence go on?
This man had to be licked out of his ministerial position as soon as possible. This is not about the Bible saying no one should touch his anointed, it’s about the truth. Pastor just tell the people the truth and be free, for it’s only the truth that shall make you free.
It is this kind of practice that has got Ghana to the uncertainty position that it is today.
How can our currency, within 3yrs, loose its value to this extent? Who are these people, (social paths) that the presidents ruling with? We need the correct people, qualified politicians, people with ideas on all levels, no political social paths to take care of our political appointments, neither do we need these unqualified school boys and girls, using Ghana as a try and error plate. This brings into memories, what was once said by the former president Jerry Rawlings some time ago.
Note Mr. Omane Boahma, Ghana is a country of serious people, full of intellectuals, therefore we would not sit unconcern and let FOOLS drive us around without saying nothing.
Mr, Otabil, go ahead and say more, tell Ghanaians what is on your mind.

The NDC should cut out that crap of trying to whip everybody into lying about the economy. The economy is bad people are feeling it and the people will say so in clear terms. Pastor Otabil will not and cannot lie about the economy and no honest Ghanaian will praise this hopeless economy being managed by a hopeless NDC government. If the NDC thinks that investors are that foolish and will just listen to praise singers and lies to come and invest in Ghana without looking out for the facts or truth then they the NDC are living in the fools paradise.

NDC must learn to accept the truth. All that Mr Otabil said is true. NDC must also learn to tell the truth and stop the lies. Their propaganda will never work for Ghana. No foreign investor is so stupid to throw millions of dollars into this crumbled Ghana economy. NDC must forget it. The best thing for them to do is to quit and give way to NPP to come and do it. Only NPP is capable of managing the economy to make it attractive to foreign investors. Only NPP can make Ghana one of the best countries in the world.

Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

The statement "the ship is sinking" was first raised on Citi FM morning show some weeks ago and the presenter even played Gypsy's (from Trinidad) "Captain, Your Ship is Sinking" that morning and asked the government to act to save the ship from sinking. So, why all this fuss about what Dr Otabil said? Is it not true that Ghana is sinking in corruption, mismanagement, uncollected rubbish in the streets, high inflation, debt, falling cedi, etc? Can't the ministers see or hear, even if they live in opulence? They should wake up and smell the grass.

I heard this Agalga man talking for the first time on on the radio yesterday and that gave me yet another reason, to be more depressed about Ghana.

The man couldnt make any sense out of anything at all he said. The other panelists on the program had a field day reducing him to his proper level as a backward unintelligent rural boy from nowhere - no pedigree whatsoever.

I dont know who sent him to represent the NDC on that program. Whoever did, deliberately did so to humiliate and punish him, probably to settle some internal Party squabble.

The poor man was on one hand turned into a helpless verbal punching bag and on the other, to a court jester who had both the host of the program and the other panelists as well as myself and probably the entire listening public, sprawling with laughter at his most inane and asinine outbursts.

How can Ghanaians sit back and allow such an unqualified character to be a Minister of our dear country? For someone who claims that he is a university graduate, I was astounded by his spoken English which was as disjointed and often as incomprehensible as that of a cyto drop-out from the deep rural areas somewhere.

His logic is even worse. Here we are in a situation where is equally inept govt has done everything they possibly can to destroy the economy of Ghana, and all he can do about it is to turn around to castigate people who point out this very sad fact to him? What a nincompoop, an imbecile, a dunce and a dolt!

Of course he is not much different from the rest of the praetorian guard of the Mahama govt but I ask, how can we sustain this level of confident incompetence for the next two years without something disastrous happening to this country?

Mr Agalga,
If you honestly think that an investor (any investor) will base his or her decisions to invest in a country based on what a pastor says (i dont care how renowned that pastor is) says, then it is no wonder that this country is where it is now.
This is unbelievable!!!
You call yourself a deputy minister?
Investors know the indexes they are looking before investing in ANY country. A large part of those indexes in sound governance and stability in the destination country.
You and I live in Ghana, but perhaps you are living in glass/gold cocoon, so you don't know what is going on around you; or you are simply in denial;or you are just plain st-p-d!!!
You think people all over the world don't know what is going on in this country?
Wake up and talk some sense!!!
Nothing that will move this country forward is working; It is not the words of a pastor that will deter investors from coming here.
Stop looking for and making excuses and look for solutions to fix the economy.
Or better still step aside for someone more competent to do the job.

Hello Mr. Minister,
The investors are seeing the same thing the pastor is talking about. The last time I checked, investors are not charities. They put their money where they can make profits. If your economic conditions are unfavorable, they would not invest. With all due respect, may you please share with the nation, ways in which you have contributed to the growth of the economy. Thanks

I believe James Agalga knows that he is not more sensible than Mensah Otabil. The investor world is also not sleeping. You have decided not to listen to anyone, not even tolerate questions from the US Embassy in Ghana. You can continue to tickle yourselves and laugh, those of you in that useless government, but we the good people of Ghana who are at the receiving end of results of the foolish decisions you make will not keep quiet until the right thing is done for Ghana. This is the most useless administration I have ever seen in my lifetime in Ghana.

I THOUGHT HE TEACHES PEOPLE NOT TO LET PAST FAILURES PREVENT THEM FROM EXPECTING GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THEM. BUT HE IS NOT EXPECTING ANY GOOD TO HAPPEN TO GHANA BECAUSE THE PARTY IN POWER IS NOT THE PARTY OF HIS LIKEN.

This is what I have been talking about. Many of you are retarded.

Are you a politician yourself? If you are, fine; but if you are not, then concentrate on the work you are doing and don't say anything about what politicians are doing. Is Mensah Otabil not a citizen of Ghana? You have gone to school to read and write, but you are not sensible just like most of the NDC politicians we are unfortunate to have ruling us. How I wish people like you get out of Ghana, and maybe seek asylum in Brazil, so that the number of foolish voters will be reduced in Ghana.

Mr. Deputy Minister, don't you know the world is a global village that everybody knows what's going on in Ghana with just a click of a batton? Do you think an investor will just get up and come to Ghana for the sake of investment? Sir, if you don't know, before an investor puts his/her money in an economy, they do a lot of research to be sure that they can get their money back, so please, don't think Pastor Mensa Otabil is rather driving away investors. If what the pastor is saying is not true, the investor will still come. On the contrary, if everybody sings praises to the economy and the ground is not fertile for investment, no investor will come. Let us accept the problems and fix them and stop blaming the good pastor.

Oh boy! you are knowldgeable. The misister would make his voiced be heared ever day, as long as he remains a sgood son of Ghana. who on earth can silence him, No body except God.
Now here is my take on the foolish words spoken by Mr. Omane Boahma, why is this Guy preventing the Minister from speaking his mind about the truth? Mr Omane Boamah is a hipocreate. Why should the minister not tell the people the truth.Yes the minister is Right the Boat (Ghana) is sinking, thefore Ghanaians, all had to get on board and paddle the boat to the Right course.
How can we sit uncorncern and let all these nomesence go on?
This man had to be licked out of his ministerial position as soon as possible. This is not about the Bible saying no one should touch his anointed, it’s about the truth. Pastor just tell the people the truth and be free, for it’s only the truth that shall make you free.
It is this kind of practice that has got Ghana to the uncertainty position that it is today.
How can our currency, within 3yrs, loose its value to this extent? Who are these people, (social paths) that the presidents ruling with? We need the correct people, qualified politicians, people with ideas on all levels, no political social paths to take care of our political appointments, neither do we need these unqualified school boys and girls, using Ghana as a try and error plate. This brings into memories, what was once said by the former president Jerry Rawlings some time ago.
Note Mr. Omane Boahma, Ghana is a country of serious people, full of intellectuals, therefore we would not sit unconcern and let FOOLS drive us around without saying nothing.
Mr, Otabil, go ahead and say more, tell Ghanaians what is on your mind.
You are a good son of the living God

information about ghana. They have their own economic analysts who advice them about investment decisions. They already know the facts about Ghana's currency free fall and the factors that have contributed to it. They are not as naive as your boys ministers who do not have a clue of what they are doing; some of them are still at school studying at the expense of the tax payer.

It worries me big time when some people think comments like that made by Otabil will deter investors. Are we so naïve?
Astute foreign investors will have all the relevant data and information they need to invest in the country. Some of the key variable inputs in the investment decision making processes will include power supply, road networks, information technology and the overhaul infrastructure in the country.
These investors have access to all the information they need to invest or not to invest in Ghana. Do you remember when Moody, the credit rating agency down graded Ghana? Government communicators rubbish the report. In the end, events have proved Moody right. So, investors do not need Dr Mensa Otabil to tell them anything they do not know.

It is only a stupid minister of state who could think like this. I think this is purely a beggarly mentality. This is how far our useless university graduates have brought us.

Why do members of this govt get jittery anytime Rev Otabil expresses an opinion? Is it because the bitter truth hurts? Or is it because they know he is a man of integrity and people sit up when he speaks?

A preacher like that of PASTOR MENSAH OTABIL'S CALIBER,preaches THE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
You these conventional-minded politicians control national asset,pastors like this have no control over.
It's the politicians that have blown it but not from the words of a GOD-SENT PASTOR like MENSAH OTABIL.

You these conventional thinkers should find means of fixing the economy,but not with game-blaming tactics,lies and propaganda to deceive the masses.
MAHAMA is in the driver's seat,with TERKPER,being the mate.
THEY HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHERE THEY PACK US,BUT SHOULD NOT BLAME THE AUTO MECHANICS WHO FIXED THEIR ENGINE.
These guys do not know what they are doing after their higher education with titles like PROFESSOR THIS AND THAT.
JUST HOW TO TRANSLATE WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSROOMS TO FORMULATE,DEVISE,PROPOUND,INVENT SOMETHING THAT BRINGS SUBSTANCE FOR MANKIND TO UTILIZE,HAS BEEN THEIR PROBLEM,SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL.
Hence they have left the nation in a ditch,and blaming a preacher who is saying the truth,they are hiding and doesn't want to admit:

GHANA IN CRISIS.

Aren't we fed up with these NAIVE,INCOMPETENT,IGNORANT GUYS?

The foreign investors do not listen to government officials and all the lies.They read about Ghana from the credit rating companies,the IMF/World Bank reports,reputable broadcasters and newspapers before they invest their hard earned assets.
I read about Ghana from the same sources,especially the IMF/World Bank ,The CIA facts finding reports and the BBC.
The conspicuous lies and sycophancy do not make it prudent to make investment decisions.

Whoever sent you must be ashamed of himself as well as you. Youve been placing your nasty comments about Nana Addo, this shows how mad you are. If Nana Addo is the son of a traitor then what are you? You are the son of an armed robber who robbed the pussy of a madwoman which resulted in your conception and abominable birth. Get lost. For your information Nana Addo has won my votes together with all my family in Ghana cos I will make them vote against the shameful NDC THUGS who paid you. IDIOT

Dr.Otabil is just speaking the truth.
Agalga do you actually believe that the world is ignorant about the leadership of Ghana?
For sure Ghana can be compared to the sunken RMS Titanic of 1912. Ghana is a sinking ship and the captain Mahama is missing.
