If Mahama has used 2years to pump hard-earned Ghana money to lavishly transform Gonjaland then JJ Rawlings wasted 20years by not doing anything to transform Eweland. Three and a half years of Atta Mills presidensy will also be termed as a waste for Fantis and Ekumfi Etuam people since the good old Prof could not do for Fantis, and Etuam people, a tenth of what Mahama has done for Gonjas in two years.

the DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN ACCRA IS PREHISTORIC AND ORIMITIVE AND DTAS WHY ANYTIME IT RAINS. THERE IS A FLOOD. FOOLS WANT TO COMPARE GOARGIA TO ACCRA. HOW OFTEN DOES GEORGIA GET FLOODED?

Expect more damages since Ghanaians cannot hold their leaders responsible. They are still pumping the money into their own pockets and leave the country in rampant.

It is a good thing you are not weeping for Ashanti Region as you have seen massive development taking place there (a recipe for more than 1 million votes)and Eastern Region where the Okyenhene recently confessed. Why do you think the Asantehene was seen dancing with Mahama? It was not to listen to people like you; YENTIE OBIAA, you remember? The two regions were the only ones won by the NPP.
The development started in Bole and the north, you are right about that. It continued in Brong Ahafo, Ashante and Greater Accra (on going). Western Region is next then Volta region crowns it as the world bank of votes for NDC.
Don't worry Usman, before 2016 elections you'll be happy for Ghana and will stop weeping for only two regions left to see massive development. Thank God you can attest to the other eight you did not weep for to have tasted positive and massive development. Know that it is only Mahama's 3rd year after a cruel election petition aimed at making Ghana ungovernable dragging for his first year. Though the same cruelty in different form is being unleashed to poor Ghanaians by your group, you are happy for 8 Regions and weep for only two; good observation and criticism.
My advice to you is, WEEP FOR YOUR LOST-DIRECTION PARTY. THE PARTY WITH VIOLENCE GENE AND DRUG INFECTED BLOOD. A PARTY THAT CANNOT MANAGE HER LEADERSHIP PROBLEMS BUT WANT TO GOVERN GHANA AGAIN. A PARTY THAT BEGS OTHERS TO STEP ASIDE AND ALLOW SOME FAVORITES TO CONTEST BUT SAY BELIEVE IN RULE OF LAW. A PARTY THAT IS USING CHEMICAL WEAPON (ACID) AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPON (PEPPER) ON HER MEMBERS AND LEADERS. A PARTY THAT CANNOT CONTRIBUTE ANY MEANINGFUL ULTERNATIVE TO NATIONAL ISSUES IN THE MEDIA OR PARLIAMENT WHILE IN OPPOSITION BUT RESORT TO BOYCOTTS, INSULTS AND LIES. A PARTY WITH A CLUELESS AND A FAILURE AS FLAGBEARER.
ALSO PUT IT IN YOUR DULL SKULL THAT, GONJA LAND AND THE NORTH FOR THAT MATTER IS PART OF GHANA AND EVERY GHANAIAN THAT HAPPEN TO TRAVEL THERE WILL ENJOY ALL THOSE AMENITIES WITHOUT BEING QUESTIONED. ALSO NOT ONLY GONJAS LIVE THERE. ASHANTES LIVE THERE SELLING AND WORKING.

Years of sleeping on the job, years of military rule, we are now reaping what we have sowed. Nkrumah is my 'yard stick', he had the "7 years development plan" !/Electrification of the whole country_Akosombo, 2/Free compulsory education to university 3/ Construction of a new industrial city_Tema. 4/Construction of new industries, schools and hospitals.etc. He did nothing for himself, family and friends. One can clearly see that successive governments have not lived up to expectation. JJ has also been a distraction, Mills was never left alone and Mahama is always looking over his shoulder. He is not focusing on the job, always trying to make NDC strong and make JJ happy.

I cannot believe what is taking place on ghanaweb. It is not only disturbing but also troubling that some people if not most, are totally and completely out of touch on national issues and therefore have no meaningful contributions to offer except to point fingers and to insult others.

Lives were lost recently yet some of us have returned to the same old path of improper behavior and conduct.

Let's refrain from rude and disrespectful behavior towards other human beings or mankind and offer constructive suggestions to improve the lives and safety of our people.

If I may quote an abstract from the article that prompted the nine comments that were posted before my response thus : "Residents of these areas are advised to take the necessary precautions and stay indoors".
What?. They are suppose to seek higher grounds not to stay indoors. This is misleading and unwise to do.

Instead of insults and finger-pointing, let us make positive contributions regarding the lives and safety of our people. We should change and let us start the change right now because it's necessary and important.
Enough should be enough.

The nation Ghana is full of leaders and politicians who just talk promise and continue to talk but not action. President Mahama declared 3 days of morning for the dead but sadly did not declare 3 or more days of emergency action involving deploying the army to help with emergencies.

In China and other places where there is an earthquake the military are deployed to help victims in rescue missions. In Ghana the president just talks and the military just sit in their barracks enjoying their whiskies and goat head light soups and etc.

GHANAIANS MUST COUNT THEMSELVES LUCKY AND BLESSED THAT WE DO NOT HAVE SUNAMIS AND EARTHQUAKES ON THE SCALE OF MYAMAR.
