Nana Binaddo must shut up and go away! !! Who want to listen to this dead Horse? Stop lying to the good people of GHANA, since when did you Nana Akanfuo Binaddo believed in Ghana? How can anyone believes in his country and has 2 identifications in his pocket? Nana is having Ghana and UK ID, but telling Ghanaians he believe in Ghana.

IT IS WORRYING.
Good People of La Dadekotopon, I have a thought to share with you. I send you my best regards. (mii hany3 omanye) I believe there are a lot of very respectable and decent people among you who are very worried about what your 'MOUTH PIECE' in parliament is today. (I mean the person representing you in parliament) He sums up what is suppose to come from La Dadekotopon. I know many communities just like you have made mistakes by electing people who have nothing in common with the values of the communities they represent. IT WAS BY MISTAKE THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED. YOU CAN REDEEM YOURSELVES WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE AGAIN. I know come 2016, you will not let your brothers and sisters who are less fortunate to go to school impose a character like AMASA NAMOALE alias BBC NEWS!!!!! on you again. You can succeed in doing that by educating them, that, it takes more than akp3t3shie or what one will eat at a particular time to make one happy. One can be happy when one has a respectable representative in parliament who thinks about Ghana, and will work to bring progress in the lives of those he represents and the nation at large, by supporting programs and policies that will give birth to these. Not someone who will fully SUPPORT A BAD CITIZEN LIKE WAYOME TO DUPE HIS OWN COUNTRY. Amasa Namoale thinks the money given to Woyome is ''GOVERNMENT MONEY'', an old mentality that means it is nobody's money and therefore it is ok to be stolen. This way of thinking has destroyed many state agencies. Amasa Namoale has for some time now been posting irresponsible comments about what he thinks concerning the Wayome saga. Some of which are ''WAYOME DESERVE THE MONEY'', ''LEAVE WAYOME ALONE, HE DESERVE THE MONEY'' ''USELESS FORMER AG/ MARTIN AMIDU IS JUST A PATHETIC LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE'' among some of his irresponsible comments. A few days ago, he granted an interview to a radio station, where he declared his support for Wayome and urged him to sue government for more money. I don't think this is the kind of person you want to see in parliament, let alone represent the good people of LA DADEKOTOPON. So please, people of LA DADEKOTOPON, REDEEM YOUR GOOD NAME BY VOTING OUT THIS CHAFF, CALLED AMASA NAMOALE IN 2016, Replacing him with a more credible son of your area. Thank you all.

Nemesis has caught up with Lithur, Tony and now he has been exposed for his initiation, leading role and enjoyment of the fruits of dubious judgment debt with his Mahama-led NDC thieves gov't and Woyome.
What a disgrace and an embarrassment. Repugnant, shameless and disgraceful human beings.
How do you sleep togetehr with your family when pregnant women are dying because of lack of medications and facilities at our hospitals whilst you shameless and disgraceful beings continue to thieve the country?
Disgraceful beings.
Criminal, even a layman knows running a busy private practice or vice versa, does not suffice as enough credible reasons or grounds or precludes one from proving that Austro-Invest was in existence before going ahead with that plain thievery, as has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
Disgraceful, thieving, shameless lot.

Mahama's son is studying under ultra-conducive environment and conditions in Dubai. Think about that if that is possible for your child rather than your stupid and blind support for your overly corrupt and incompetent party on account of your unbridled tribalism. Think, think, and think again.

Isn't that the reason why governments are voted out of office? If you are giving this government a pass because it was the same situation under JAK's administration, then why change government? Think people, think. Remove from your eyes all these political lenses and for once see clear with your God-eyes. Use your brains and stop playing politics with these kids lives. It was the same when Kuffour was president and so we should leave this administration alone. Give me a break!

Education has always been the engine of development in every country. So, how on earth can a child learn & function academically in such a deplorable environment? Snakes in classrooms & no toilet facilities? That's just outrageous & unspeakable! We're in the 21st century & yet, some children had to walk miles carrying chairs on top of their heads, just to get education. SMH

A teenage girl was sitting at home in the middle of the night. She was watching a horror movie when the phone rang. She answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hello," A gruff voice said over the phone, "I am the Viper and i'm fifty miles away." he hung up. The girl was a little scared but thought that if the man was really fifty miles away, she was safe.
She went back to watching the movie. The phone rang again.
"I am the Viper and i'm blocks away," he hung up the phone. the girl was getting more scared and decided to shut the movie off. She settled on the couch reading a Stephenie Meyer novel when the phone rang again.
"I am the Viper and i'm fifty feet away." he hung up.
The girl got off the couch and looked out the kitchen window. She saw a man with long peces of fabrc hanging off his articles of clothing. he turned and walked toward the house. The girl started to pile furniture in front of the door. There was a knock on the door.
"I am the Viper and i'm fifty centimeters from your front door." the voice said.
"What do you want?" the girl asked tearfully.
'Well," he said slowly, "For fifty cents i'l vipe all your vindows." .

There is a huge problem confronting the NDC Administration EDUCATIONALLY and BUFFOON BBC NEWS and CLUELESS Close Observer are toying with it.

This goes to confirm that the "NDC don't care about the people of Ghana" as emphatically stated by the CPP scribe IVOR GREENSTREET late last year.

The situation is very disturbing and the earlier the Education Ministry reacted to it the better.

The Ministry should not wait till a pupil is killed as a result of the Ministry's irresponsibility.
