Because we are fools. If not how come ghanaians in Worcester MA USA could put on kente to meet this useless thing in the name of all inclusive, only to be an ndc function.They were fooled by the ndc that any ghanaian can be there to ask questions, only for that to be turned into an ndc function bcos they don't have the ndc people there and knew ghanaians weren't ready for John Mahama so they called all ghanaians on ready advert only to be turned into an ndc function.Shame on you ndc.When president Kufuor was in power nobody called ghanaians to come to him but they went there themselves to meet him, that's good governance.

This is how Capitalism works, Capitalism, is a parasitical economic system that's designed to benefit only a few/elites at the expense of the masses, whose blood, sweat and tears produces the wealth that they never enjoy.

Capitalism kidnapped and sold hundreds of millions of Africans for profit, the US constitution described Africans as three fifths of a human being, which means that they can be owned by whites, traded like cattle, had no human rights etc. all of this was done with the blessing of the European Christian churches with the Roman Catholics and Anglican churches in the lead, The Calvinists in South Africa, Latter Day Saints etc. in the name of "BOURGEOIS DEMOCRACY", oops, I forgot, democracy only applies to humans, those who don't look like white Jesus may not be considered to be human beings.

Today, NPP&NDC, two neo-colonial political parties, are the guardians of foreign Capitalist interest, at the expense of the toiling Ghanaian masses. Imperialism tolerates these two political parties, as long as they continue to faithfully serve the interest of their colonial masters.

There ought to be an injunction placed against reactionary African governments, who's mis-management/corruption creates national indebtedness, which then, causes the reactionary governments to borrow excessively, thereby, mortgaging the untapped wealth of Africa and the lives of future generations.

A clear example of Capitalist exploitation of Africa's resources, is what the NPP did with Ghana's oil find, where 90% went to their European masters, 10% for mansion building politicians and their cronies, and guess what? None for their blind followers and the masses, but, that's how Capitalism works, and that's the state of affairs in Ghana/ Africa today.

Those who try to remedy the situation, will find themselves sanctioned, and/or democratically droned and bombed by imperialism, with the assistance of local traitors, of course!

Solution: One Unified Socialist Africa.

NPP&NDC = BACKWARD EVER, FORWARD? HE'LL NO, WE WON'T GO!

Okay.. the cedi has gained some strength against the dollar in the past few weeks. Shouldn't we Ghanaians be rather seeing decrease in prices at the pump? This is a SCAM the government is perpetrating.

Everytime the Government increased the prices of Petrolum products,the reason given was that,they were scrapping fuel subsidies.So the question is,what sudidies is the IMF taking about?Because Ghanaians have been told from the begining of this year,fuel subsidies has been srapped by the Government,that is why comsumers are paying so much for fuel.Or as usual it was just a trick from the Government to increase prices?
If the Government is still subsidisng fuel prices,then what was the reason for the 40% increase?

Any time they want to increase they say they are removing subsidy , when will they ever finish removing this so call subsidy ? Subsidy is a big lie ,how can have subsidy and taxes at the same time on the same product.

In our culture do we pamper stealers? It's because we abhor looting and thievery that's why when we catch one, we lynch them. It's a time tested tradition and it works and so let's appropriate it politically and vote the NDC gov't out, massively at the ballot box, to show our abhorrence of such looting and thievery.

Why should the poor man continue to suffer? Now petrol is subsidized and yet we are suffering what will happen if subsidy is removed.Why was corruption not included in the package? Without IMF assistance we can do well as a nation that export oil,cocoa,timber, gold,bauxite, etc, if we can clamp down on the curruption that goes on on our high ways by the police, harbours and airports by costume officials and agents, and in the government by the politicians we will be ok, trust me.
