  VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016. OUR WOMEN WERE NOT SPARED EITHER. THEY WERE STRIPPED NAKED AND WHIPPED ON THE STREETS. ''3Y3 KANEA 3Y3 HAN''
  
  
  Discrimination starts here:
  ''We have been vice presidents for far too long, it is time you make one of your own president.'' John Mahama
  WHAT ARE THE REST OF US TO JOHN MAHAMA?
  
  inefficiency and corruption is the hallmark of NDC. GHANA, YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLANS TO BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEFORE THEY QUIT POLITICS TO LEAD YOU; they won't have time for you, they will be taking care of their own.
  NEITHER DO YOU WANT PEOPLE WHO WILL WEAR LADIES GARMENT ON FOREIGN TRIPS.
  THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DISGRACE YOU.
  To get your life back and be respected all over the world VOTE NDC OUT IN 2016
  VOTE THE CLUELESS, NO VISION, INSENSITIVE TO GHANAIANS HOME AND ABROAD, IDEAS STARVED AND HOPELESS YOUNG MAN OUT IN 2016.

  you are very stupid, you are rather being tribalistic. If all akans decide to vote for npp, could any other party including your useless party ndc ever come to power?

  The only way to make cocoa farming attractive is to pay more to farmers. Young men will only go into farming when they are sure to get good money from it. Let the farmers be filled and stop the empty promises. Pay farmers well to help them take care of their families. Why is the government is taking advantage of farmers???

  The Cocoa trees are not for Ghanaian, its only our land and labour they are looking for. How many Ghanaians eat cocoa to grow it in such a scale and amount of money. If cocoa was profitable ghana wouldn't be getting bailout from IMF.
  Instead of producing something Ghanaian can eat, the govt is foolishly using our land and labour to feed people of Birmingham UK. We don't say don't farm cocoa we are saying only export cocoa products not beans. They build a whole town from the labour of our cocoa farmers while the farmer sleep in hut.
  Foreign exchange, what foreign exchange when we can't feed ourselves.

  Without a strong revenue generating export base, Ghana will completely collapse. Where do you think we will get foreign exchange from without exports.

  I started cocoa farming 4 years ago, as a young man I thought by the age of 30 I can make it. It turned out that all the so call incentives only show on their papers and nothing gets to the farmers. No bank Will give you loan to start cocoa farming. If cocoa is so important why is there no help for either those who are into it or those who want to start?

  My brother its a waste of time. You will only waste away. The return is so meager. The President himself will never go into farming. How come hie is busy setting up transport businesses if farming is that lucrative?
