    PNDC's policy of intimidation is what its offshoot NDC tries to pursue BUT Ghanaians WOULD NOT be intimidated by anyone much longer.

    The suffering of ghana today was caused by the SASABONSAM Ofiri Jato Rawlings, the clever Armed Robber who took gun to rape mother ghana. Only Ewes and lazy people will worship and adore this greedy bastard.

    The two people who hhave brought mother Ghana to where she is today are Kwame Nkrumah and Rawlings.These two people hate Ghana so much so that they saw to it that mother Ghana would not prosper.

    Yes, the 1981 coup was even worse than obnoxious. This is why we need to bring treason charges to those who carried it out. It was the most needless coup in the annals of the country.
