What is wrong with this useless President? The power crisis has been going on for the past three years and this dead goat President is calling the problem temporary?

Maybe with this guy, anything less than ten years is temporary but Ghanaians have themselves to blame for saddling themselves with this Ndc government.

We had Ndc under Rawlings that bankrupt this country to HIPC status and Npp had to use its ingenuity to bring this country out of bankruptcy to a booming economy that resulted to lower middle income status but ungrateful Ghanaians went back to the useless Ndc.

We deserve what we are being fed by this administration.

Three whole years in the dark coupled with job loses and wrecking businesses and President Mahama is calling it temporary. How can this man be the president of Ghana? He cannot even define temporary.
Mahama must pack his bags and vacate the presidency for he not good for Ghana. Three years of dumsor cannot be temporary darkness for us.

President Mahama, if three years out of your four year presidency is temporal, what is your understanding of temporal? Dumsor is a reality and part of everyday life in Ghana, if you do not know. I do not blame him because he and his ministers do not experience dumsor because the state provides generators and fuel for them. Someone should tell this president to shut up over dumsor because he is becoming a nuisance with his ignorant comments and promises on dumsor.

As a matter of fact, I do not totally blame Mahama for the DUMSOR, just he has no clue to solve it. This can be blamed from the time of even Papa Jerry but Mahama could do better. Anyway, the word temporal is relative. Jesus told ushe willbe back soon and we are still waiting for him. Mahama could be right. It is just temporary.

'temporal' vs 'temporary' - Pls do your spell checks when putting scripts of this nature out there for your readership. Dumsor is TEMPORAL indeed...It's a scourge revisited on our motherland, by some temporal powers above, all because of our attitude and approach towards work. Standards are falling by the day, and we're indignant, carefree and nonchalant as a nation. Of course, who cares? Temporal or temporary...you know you have a free pass from the masses, Mr. President!!! PLEASE WAKE UP, Country Boss!!!

This is the type of president we deserve as we are lazy and backward in our thinking. Watch out he will soon start his campaign with bribes and Ghanaians will forget Dumsor until election is over. The only good thing he has done is IMF loan which has clipped his wings on how and where to raise money. Otherwise he would have borrowed more and throw at Ghanaians to sing his praises to the finish line. I love him because he understands the backwardness and throwbacks that Ghanaians are: we are lazy and always waiting for government to deliver. He has mastered the game and playing it to his advantage. He watched his father and CPP under Nkrumah killed private enterprise and got the people behind them. He was part of the JJ anti business group. He and his brothers gained more than any other Ghanaian family under the government. He watched how Kuffuor brought in private business to compete and almost throw his brother out of business. Now he is in charge and wasting no time putting EVERYONE into poverty. Try to explain to the people how bad NDC is to Ghana and they shout back you are book long. This man is a real embodiment of the rotten Ghanaian culture: corrupt, deceitful,double smooth talker and a trickster. He fits my country people who think they are smarter just by defrauding people and by pilfering national coffers. He will keep talking as the people can be paid off during elections and the cycle, he will win and the stealing brigade cycle starts again.

How long is temporal? Temporal could be described as a short brief period of time, but six years? That cannot be temporal. If a patient is sick without treatment for six years the diagnosis is not acute but chronic. Chronic disease leads to cancer and that is what is happening in Ghana. We have a chronic disease called "dumsorpathy", and it also be described as an "end-stage" disease. This disease can only be cured by a specialist not a primary physician of which Mahama is described as. The specialist will come and very soon. Time will tell.
