So if Mahama’s father was a Regional Minister and he himself was a Minister for several years before becoming a Vice President, he really has no excuse nor reason to be so incompetent and clueless as what is now unfortunately turning out to be the most disgraceful and shameful President of Ghana.

What went wrong?

The mere fact that Bagabaga College of Education was established in 1944, and was one of the oldest educational institutions in northern Ghana, disproves the myth being peddled around that Nkrumah introduced Education into the North. In fact, Westing Education was introduced into the North long before Kwame Nkrumah became the prime-minister of Ghana.

Northern leaders like S.D Dombo, Jato Keleo, B.K Adama, Tolon Naa, Bawumya and many others might have completed their education and started their careers before Nkrumah was brought to the Cold Coast from UK to serve as the General Secretary of the group fighting for our independence.

I was really disappointed to see Mr. Mahama plying dirty politics by honoring Nkrumah where he shouldn't be honored because, he didn't have anything to do with the BAC. Mr. Mahama is therefore, perpetuating the myth that Nkrumah civilized Northers by introducing Education to them. Even the much talked about free education that Mr. Mahama enjoyed was put forward by Dombo as a political bargain for the unitary state and not an initiative by Nkrumah to civilize Northners in Ghana.

RUBY MAHAMA NAILED AT HEATHROW AIRPORT WITH 12.5 KILOS OF COCAINE

London’s Heathrow Grabs Africa’s
Narcotic Cleopatra
November 24, 2014
It was a fairytale life for the 32 year
old. A high flying life with deep political
connections across a sub-region of over
260 million people – frequent flights in
not only the first class sections of some
of the World’s leading airlines, but
Bombadier Private Jets reportedly
belonging to one of West Africa’s
richest men and the brother of the
current Ghanaian President and
Chairman of the Regional Political
Union. Sleeping in the choicest hotels
around the world came only as an aside.
But this life at 15,000ft, for someone
born and bred in a country with per
capita just over a $1,000, came crushing
down on the Morning of November 10
when Border Security at London’s
Heathrow crashed the operation of the
lady who has been described and
nicknamed by some within the
Intelligence Community as “Africa’s
drug Cleopatra”, having used her
extensive political and social networks to
courier an estimated $75 million of
cocaine directly in just the past three
years.
It all ended for the modern “cleopatra”,
originally born Ruby Adu-Gyamfi when
a trip planned to be like the many she
has undertaken to over 28 countries in 5
continents turned out to be the opposite
as a result of collaborative work
between intelligence agencies in four
continents but interestingly without the
knowledge of any of her native Ghana
or Africa’s security units due to a
strong suspicion of complicity at the
highest level of Ghana’s political system.
With the world’s best intelligence and
security agencies behind her track, it
was supposed to only be a matter of
small time before this drug baroness was
nailed. However, numerous aliases, dozens
of passports bearing different names
and pictures – including those from
Austria, Canada, Brazil and Belarus and
several Ghanaian and Nigerian
passports – including a Ghanaian
diplomatic passport, allowed her rare
privileges both within the country and
outside. As though this was not enough,
cosmetic surgeries, aided by plastic
surgeons, and the sheer brazenness of
her operations plus the well documented
help of officialdom in her native Ghana
had succeeded in aiding her to escape
arrest for over 24 months.
When security officials finally closed in
on her, not even the power of the
Ghanaian Presidency or the brandishing
of a diplomatic passport could save her.
In her possession was as much as 12
kilograms of cocaine valued
conservatively at $5 million. So
unbothered was her operation that
unlike many others who conceal their
consignment in several ingenious ways,
‘Cleopatra’ carried her full consignment
in her hand luggage, having used the
VVIP Presidential lounge at Ghana’s
Kotoka International Airport, according
to local reports and signals picked from
Scotland Yard, one of the agencies that
worked on her capture.
Intelligence officers indicate that Ruby
managed to get her consignment safely
into the first class section of the
particular British Airways flight using
her connections in the Ghanaian
establishment, who managed to even get
a security official to safely courier her
consignment into the plane. Sources
close to the operation that nailed her
say that Ruby was spotted by other
first class passengers trying to fit 2kg
of her consignment into her hand bag.
These passengers alerted the British
Airways staff while the plane was
approaching London with the staff in
turn radioing Heathrow to be on alert.
On arrival at Heathrow, border security
officials, who had ordered only the first
class passengers to disembark, quickly
asked her to step aside to be searched.
This request is said to have infuriated
Ruby, who questioned the security
officials, pulling out her Ghanaian
diplomatic passport in the process. This
diplomatic passport with the name Ruby
Mahama did little to convince Border
Security who proceeded to carry out the
search.
So excited were the global intelligence
agency when she was finally captured
that three top officials of the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) of
the United States quickly jetted off to
London, within 4 hours of her arrest, to
interrogate her on various matters of
concern to American officials in their
unending war on narcotics.
Norman Shanks, an Aviation Security
expert who spoke to Airport
International was puzzled that the
major achievement chalked by Heathrow
in capturing this long sought after Drug
Empress did not make it into headlines
of the mainstream British and
International Press, but was also of the
view that it did not make it into the
major headlines because the top
international agencies that worked on it
wanted to keep a lid on her arrest for
various reasons.
“This for me seems to be the biggest
victory in many months for the global
drug war. Arresting this lady was
important to stop a large part of the
volumes of narcotics we have seen
pouring into Europe and North America
in the past few years. Again, this was
one of the most difficult operations in
recent years because with her very close
connections and helpers in the Ghana
government, it was almost impossible to
expect any local help to close in on her.
All the work therefore was completely
done by agents of foreign agencies and
mostly from foreign bases and in such a
situation, you can only depend on luck”,
Shanks said, from his Coventry base.
Before her arrest, Ruby, who also goes
by the name “Angel” had been spotted,
according to intelligence sources in
Nigeria, during the inauguration of a
multimillion dollar Stadium in a country
where over 70% of the population still to
find, let alone live on a dollar a day. Her
mission there, according to the reports,
was to help entertain the top political
elite across West Africa, including the
Presidents of the three big West
African Nations – Nigeria, Ghana and
Cote d’ivoire, who descended on Akwa
Ibom, one of the many states in Nigeria
whose Governor put up the Stadium as a
legacy project.
For now, Ruby Angel or Cleopatra as she
was appropriately christened will no
longer be travelling with Presidents or
entertaining them. She will not also
enjoy the luxury of her villas in Accra’s
most expensive suburbs including her
main mansion at Trassaco Valley, which
is the city’s Beverley Hills with multi-
million mansions belonging to Ghana’s
political class and business elite as well as
some of Nigeria’s richest. Her properties
in Cantonments and East Legon, which
are also extremely expensive suburbs in
Ghana’s capital with land going for as
much as a million dollars, will certainly
also miss her.

Whether they like him as the president of the country or don't recognize him he is the president ruling them and will rule them beyond 2016.

That said, I think something is wrong with we Ghanaians for that matter our educational system.That school as I know is BATCO which sounds more better than that hopeless name they are reporting BACE.
What the heck is that,do we have to keep changing names anytime we change the programs in our schools?
How do you expect your old students who went to the college when it had acronym BAT to identify themselves with that BACE,why we still call Ghana Senior High School GHANASCO though it is no more called Ghana Secondary School?

No matter what programs or systems we have now school leaders need to maintain historical names of schools instead of changing those names anytime we change the programs using some ugly names.

Money is the root of all evils as the Bible says.Money can do everything and can blind many people to do the unthinkable including murder.Those who pursue after money are insatiable to look for more as money dominates them instead of they dominating it.Money shows them the most expensive car and force them to go and purchase it and points a finger at the most beautiful and expensive house and ask you to go and build one for yourself.It shows a man the most beautiful lady in town and forces him to go and ask for her in love and promises her all the things in the world.Money is a terror which terrorises the hearts of Men.The Bible says,What profits a man if he gains the whole world and losses your soul.It would be a complete tragedy if you become stiffneck and refuse to hear the voice of God and continue to do evils of this world.If you have not been caught in the act, you may think there is nothing to fear, but all days for the rubber but one day will be for the master.A word to the wise is enough.

You will soon be there and your foolish trips to the whole world will bear no fruit. a fool is a fool is a fool is a fool. Kwaseato Mahama. Shame on your birthday.

RUBY MAHAMA NAILED AT HEATHROW AIRPORT WITH 12.5 KILOS OF COCAINE

London’s Heathrow Grabs Africa’s
Narcotic Cleopatra
November 24, 2014
It was a fairytale life for the 32 year
old. A high flying life with deep political
connections across a sub-region of over
260 million people – frequent flights in
not only the first class sections of some
of the World’s leading airlines, but
Bombadier Private Jets reportedly
belonging to one of West Africa’s
richest men and the brother of the
current Ghanaian President and
Chairman of the Regional Political
Union. Sleeping in the choicest hotels
around the world came only as an aside.
But this life at 15,000ft, for someone
born and bred in a country with per
capita just over a $1,000, came crushing
down on the Morning of November 10
when Border Security at London’s
Heathrow crashed the operation of the
lady who has been described and
nicknamed by some within the
Intelligence Community as “Africa’s
drug Cleopatra”, having used her
extensive political and social networks to
courier an estimated $75 million of
cocaine directly in just the past three
years.
It all ended for the modern “cleopatra”,
originally born Ruby Adu-Gyamfi when
a trip planned to be like the many she
has undertaken to over 28 countries in 5
continents turned out to be the opposite
as a result of collaborative work
between intelligence agencies in four
continents but interestingly without the
knowledge of any of her native Ghana
or Africa’s security units due to a
strong suspicion of complicity at the
highest level of Ghana’s political system.
With the world’s best intelligence and
security agencies behind her track, it
was supposed to only be a matter of
small time before this drug baroness was
nailed. However, numerous aliases, dozens
of passports bearing different names
and pictures – including those from
Austria, Canada, Brazil and Belarus and
several Ghanaian and Nigerian
passports – including a Ghanaian
diplomatic passport, allowed her rare
privileges both within the country and
outside. As though this was not enough,
cosmetic surgeries, aided by plastic
surgeons, and the sheer brazenness of
her operations plus the well documented
help of officialdom in her native Ghana
had succeeded in aiding her to escape
arrest for over 24 months.
When security officials finally closed in
on her, not even the power of the
Ghanaian Presidency or the brandishing
of a diplomatic passport could save her.
In her possession was as much as 12
kilograms of cocaine valued
conservatively at $5 million. So
unbothered was her operation that
unlike many others who conceal their
consignment in several ingenious ways,
‘Cleopatra’ carried her full consignment
in her hand luggage, having used the
VVIP Presidential lounge at Ghana’s
Kotoka International Airport, according
to local reports and signals picked from
Scotland Yard, one of the agencies that
worked on her capture.
Intelligence officers indicate that Ruby
managed to get her consignment safely
into the first class section of the
particular British Airways flight using
her connections in the Ghanaian
establishment, who managed to even get
a security official to safely courier her
consignment into the plane. Sources
close to the operation that nailed her
say that Ruby was spotted by other
first class passengers trying to fit 2kg
of her consignment into her hand bag.
These passengers alerted the British
Airways staff while the plane was
approaching London with the staff in
turn radioing Heathrow to be on alert.
On arrival at Heathrow, border security
officials, who had ordered only the first
class passengers to disembark, quickly
asked her to step aside to be searched.
This request is said to have infuriated
Ruby, who questioned the security
officials, pulling out her Ghanaian
diplomatic passport in the process. This
diplomatic passport with the name Ruby
Mahama did little to convince Border
Security who proceeded to carry out the
search.
So excited were the global intelligence
agency when she was finally captured
that three top officials of the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) of
the United States quickly jetted off to
London, within 4 hours of her arrest, to
interrogate her on various matters of
concern to American officials in their
unending war on narcotics.
Norman Shanks, an Aviation Security
expert who spoke to Airport
International was puzzled that the
major achievement chalked by Heathrow
in capturing this long sought after Drug
Empress did not make it into headlines
of the mainstream British and
International Press, but was also of the
view that it did not make it into the
major headlines because the top
international agencies that worked on it
wanted to keep a lid on her arrest for
various reasons.
“This for me seems to be the biggest
victory in many months for the global
drug war. Arresting this lady was
important to stop a large part of the
volumes of narcotics we have seen
pouring into Europe and North America
in the past few years. Again, this was
one of the most difficult operations in
recent years because with her very close
connections and helpers in the Ghana
government, it was almost impossible to
expect any local help to close in on her.
All the work therefore was completely
done by agents of foreign agencies and
mostly from foreign bases and in such a
situation, you can only depend on luck”,
Shanks said, from his Coventry base.
Before her arrest, Ruby, who also goes
by the name “Angel” had been spotted,
according to intelligence sources in
Nigeria, during the inauguration of a
multimillion dollar Stadium in a country
where over 70% of the population still to
find, let alone live on a dollar a day. Her
mission there, according to the reports,
was to help entertain the top political
elite across West Africa, including the
Presidents of the three big West
African Nations – Nigeria, Ghana and
Cote d’ivoire, who descended on Akwa
Ibom, one of the many states in Nigeria
whose Governor put up the Stadium as a
legacy project.
For now, Ruby Angel or Cleopatra as she
was appropriately christened will no
longer be travelling with Presidents or
entertaining them. She will not also
enjoy the luxury of her villas in Accra’s
most expensive suburbs including her
main mansion at Trassaco Valley, which
is the city’s Beverley Hills with multi-
million mansions belonging to Ghana’s
political class and business elite as well as
some of Nigeria’s richest. Her properties
in Cantonments and East Legon, which
are also extremely expensive suburbs in
Ghana’s capital with land going for as
much as a million dollars, will certainly
also miss her.

I want to thank all of you who spare some time to comment on national issues in Ghana. I want to plead with you to be a bit intelligent and limit all the insults. Please offer constructive criticism and debate on the burning national issues. Finally, our English is horrible and the grammar and sentences terrifying, worse and poisonous than the issues. Please, please don't comment or insult when you can't write simple English, let alone raining insults on the person who leads the country. Please, let's reflect soberly on our ethic and a be a little decent when you're commenting on national issues. Finally, please avoid tribal politics. I get excited when l read prudent comments offered by some of you. We can become better in ways to criticize leaders of Ghana. Please get better at it and eschew all the negative comments and insults. Thanks

Sometimes the behaviour of these npp commentators who continuously insult the Prez with impudence really surprises me.
1. Ndc guys (we) can be far more radical and violent than these npp cowards
2. The ndc population in kumasi (I am a resident of bantama) alone can easily wipe out these npp dwarves
Sometimes I wish I had the opportunity to meet some of these dwarves face-to-face. Like you will all understand why the ashanti royals preferred their queens and princesses to be impregnated by northerners and ewes.

I hate it when an attempt is made to relate any perceived inadequacies of the prez to him being a northerner.
Be warned oooo.
Abi you know dada.

There was once a pair of high school sweethearts. When they graduated, they wanted to go to the same college but the girl was accepted to Holy Child college on the South coast, and the guy went to Bagadaga College in the North. They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend any time they could together.
As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return the letters. Even when he emailed her, she took days to return his messages.
Finally, she confessed to him she wanted to date around. He didn't want to do this and increased his calls, letters, and emails trying to win back her love.
Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back.
So, what she did is this: she took a Polaroid picture of her giving her new boyfriend a blow job and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, ''I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone.''
Well, needless to say, this guy was heartbroken but, even more so, was pissed. So...he wrote on the back of the photo: ''Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!'' and mailed the picture to her parents.
