In just two years, John Dramani Mahama and the NDC have brought Ghana to its knees economically. Now, after stealing all of Ghana's money, these stupid and low life miscreants from the NDC are plotting more of the same misery on Ghanaians in 2016? Ghanaians would be the biggest fools on this planet if they vote for NDC in 2016. And, when will the corrupt Electoral Commissioner be changed? Dr. Afari-Djan has no credibility whatsoever!

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

That Blaise Compaore, the president of Burkina Faso has resigned from office is very good news for the people of Burkina Faso.

At least he has smelt the coffee and gotten out of the way. The scumbags will always use spineless members of their parties in parliament to change the constitution to their favour and still be able to say they went through parliament and therefore did nothing unconstitutional.

For now they are put on notice that the people are the sovereign and when they wake up, no amount of borrowed strength - i.e. security forces - can save you. When the fan-fools decide that there is no more fun, the game is over. Toast to the people of Burkina Faso.

"The scumbags will always use spineless members of their parties in parliament to change the constitution" huh?

Amazing you!

Instead Oyokoba, could you do us a favour by telling the world how your party is vigorously exerting her will anyhow necessary to climb back into power at all cost? That, I believed could be a blockbuster script in waiting. Please, don't go taking the poor citizenry for fools by bookishly insulting our collective intelligence, okay? As far as I know, it was Ghanaians that booted your party out from power, but not the NDC party. So Oyokoba, deal with it.

Gosh! What a bunch of dangerous desperadoes parading themselves as some legitimate democratic entity before the world at large!

Jon Mahama's office must be burned too. The man is so stupid. Even Campaore is far better than this fool. Jon Mahama is a hardened criminal and must be kicked out of the office amid brutal riot and vandalism. NDC is made up of thieves, crooks, vandals, criminals and liars. They seem not to understand the word propaganda. Maybe they must go to the dictionary to find the true meaning of propaganda. It means propagating false and lies to convince innocent individuals. NDC is a fools' party. It is a thievery party made up of murderers and criminals. NDC is a dead party. There is only one person in NDC who will always have my respect and that is honorable Martin Amidu. The rest of them are all filthy rags. Jon Mahama is a donkey. Amissa Arthur is a sheep. Asiedu Nkatia is a goat. Okudzeto Ablakwa is cat. Fiifi Kwatey is a mouse. Alottey Jacobs is a snake. Betty Mould Idrisu is a cocon. Ebo Batton Oduro is a peacock. Lawyer Tsikata is a rat. Honorable Martin Amidu is the only human being among NDC, the rest are all animals.

It is a great pity that some of you who don't know your left from your right and have no life experience can hide behind your computer and misbehave daily.

Mahama's office must be burnt? Do you know the implication of the idiotic suggestion you are putting across? Is the office Mahama's property? You call yourself Gyeeda, Sada, Subab, Woyome.These are not daily occurrence so by always sticking to it only makes you seem like(excuse my language)a deaf person who had by accident heard something and the happiness derived from that always motivates him to repeat the same.

Nobody wants you to respect anybody in the NDC. You can choose to respect only Martin Amidu that is your own cup of tea.Frankly speaking, Martin Amidu became a known corruption fighter only after he was sacked by late Prez Mills. He became Vigilante as he calls himself as a way to redeem his image.

My advice to you is to find a name for yourself and be civil on this network.

President B. Campaore has made the right decision in the final analysis. On hindsight it just did not make any sense to have sought to entrench himself ad infinitum.
It was a reckless decision typical of typical African leaders, who are power drunk, despotic, corrupt, visionless and assume rather erroneously, that they are in power because it's their right, and not as a consequence of the mandate of the masses.
Congratulations to the very good and excellent people of the Republic of Burkina Faso, for standing fully upright and to be counted. Congratulations to the very good and excellent people of the Republic of Burkina Faso for situating the concept of democracy in Burkina Faso, as emanating totally, completely and absolutely from the sovereign will, wishes and strength of the masses, indeed, from the citizenry.
Democracy that is true democracy which emanates from the people has been given a new meaning and consciousness within the body politic, and West Africa would forever be grateful.
Congratulations once again.
It's the hope that, the processes and procedures geared towards the return to democratic and constitutional rule which situates the PEOPLE in the center of the process is accelerated, so Burkina Faso would get back on it's path of socio-economic growth and development, working in concert with the sub-region and the comity of nations.
Viva to democracy, Viva to the good and excellent people of Burkina Faso. God bless Burkina Faso.

Nigeria 2007:
Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to change constitution so he could have a 3rd term. He was forced out by the his Vice-President Atiku, who had joined the resistance. Yar' Adua became President.

Niger 2010:
Mamadou Tandja, ditto.
He was removed by Captain Salou Djibo.
Today, Niger has civilian Mahamadou Issoufou as President.

Ivory Coast 2011:
Larent Gbagbo lost elections after 10 years (2 terms).
He refused to leave. He was gunned out by the French, U.N. and Opposition forces. Today, he is in jail in Holland and Alassane Ouattara is President.

Senegal 2012:
Abdoulaye Wade wanted to change constitution to have a 3rd term.
The people voted him out.
Today, Macky Sall is President.

Burkina Faso 2014:
Blaise Campaore, ditto.
The people revolted and got him out.
There will be a new ELECTED President soon.

And this is talking only about 5 countries in Africa.

Factor in Bissau, Guinea, Mali, Togo, and you're not even finished with West Africa before heading East, North and Southern.

What kind of continent is this in which "leaders" are incapable of thinking?

This Campaore fool is lucky to have escaped with his life.
Now he will go and live in France to enjoy his loot.

Obviously,the power rests in the hands of the 'people' but the decision to remove the president must be done in a more collectively acceptable way and the president must obey to the voice of the people. Aything contrary, classifies the sitting president as a dictator. Presidents are chosen by the people and elected into the high office of the presidency based upon what he put forward to perform one thing---service to the people but some African presidents think of it as an election for them to enrich themselves or an avenue through which they can steal more money

Blaisse campore has decided to leave power after the protests but the problem is now there is power vacuum with only the militarty chief to take over as defactor president. Wouldn't that one result in what is happening in Egypt ryt now when Hosni Mubarak was outsed the same. Burkinabe people might have won through the protests but they should have heed to ECOWAS recommendation of campore withdrawing the change in constitution to make him go for another election so as to make him supervise the election cos anyhow you look it the army chiefs are his loyalitst so he might be out but will be defactor. Burkina is not far from troubles knowing full well the ivorians rebels from Buake who were used by Quattara to oust Gbevo are jobless and wouldn't hesitate if anyone from the opposition contract them to fight against the allies of campore who have taken over.

That is worthy of emulation.A win-win solution.A shining example to the African politicians.But the army should not have the audacity to dissolve the constitution of the people of Burkina Faso.There should be an interim successor till elections are conducted to elect a substantive president.The army dissolving the parliament and trampling upon the constitution of the people smell of a military coup.The Burkinabes should fiercely resist any military takeover.It is not helpful.
It only breeds disorderliness and corruption and holds the clock of socioeconomic development back.The irrelevance of military coups stem from the fact that the government will be run,under the cover of darkness,by disgruntled and unrealistic university professors propounding political theories incapable of translation into practice to solve the innumerable socioeconomic problems which have beset the Burkinabes, and opportunistic politicians who have scores to settle or axes to grind and are persistently in the quest for priceless chances to pilfer from the state vault.These aside, military coups point to political instability which wards off investors.Ultimately,nothing surpasses the ballot box leading to a constitutionally elected government.
I doff my hat to you guys.Together,we can stop the dictators in Africa in their tracks and make our continent one beaming with democracy,freedom of the press,freedom of speech,human rights,free market economies and ensure the use of our abundant human and natural resources to uplift our continent from abject poverty.The soldiers should confine themselves to their assigned responsibility to defend Burkina Faso from external aggression.If anyone of them wants to indulge in politics,they should resign from the armed forces.
