You don't seem to know Ghana before Rawlings came to power.
Ask and they will tell you,during Rawlings' time we all know what happened to those who littered the streets,those who urinated at anywhere,we know of communal labor or self help projects which are now things of the past.
Before Rawlings came to power people could squat anywhere to take a s**t ,in Accra Central Lorry park also known as Kotoka station,the faeces became pavement in front of the only toilet there which you have to walk on for meters before entering the toilet itself,that is if you want to enter before doing it.
Don't be a fool next time,no wonder you call yourself kokonte,something even a lunatic will not do.

A NATION, CONTINENT AND PEOPLE FOOLED BY RELIGION.
Fooled into believing, that Ebola was a satanic disease imposed over Liberia because of homosexuality and wide spread corruption, over 100 Pentecostal pastors died miserably and foolishly as they laid their hands on Ebola victims praying for them hours and even days attempting to exorcise and deliver them from Ebola in Churches instead of taking these people to hospitals and medical centers to seek treatment. To these pastors, everything is SPIRITUAL and as such try solving all problems from the spiritual perspective.
In Ghana, we had Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams leading his Church of over 5000 congregants; many among them, highly educated men and women in the English speaking charismatic church, praying heavily for hours in 'tongues' for the Ghana Cedi to rise. What a waooooow !!!!!! And has the Ghana cedi actually risen or appreciated in value ? The cedi has rather depreciated in value ever since, with the Dollar-Cedi equivalent now at 1:4. Prime minister David Cameron and Queen Elizabeth do not pray or fast for the British Pounds Sterling to rise or appreciate. Rather, the implementation of prudent economic measures, wise spending, avoiding unnecessary borrowing and total anti-corruption initiatives has made the Pounds Sterling and British economy what it is today.
When Zaire (Dr.Congo), qualified for its first Fifa World Cup in 1974, then president, Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu
Wa Za Banga[a] sent a delegation of 72 spiritual men in accompanying the team to West Germany. Yet, with all these spiritual men, they could not score a single goal but conceded 14 goals in their first 3 matches. In Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda and other African countries, the actions, inactions, beliefs and thoughts of people are hugely influenced by religion. That superstitious beliefs ban people from working on their farmlands on Thursdays or fishing on the sea on Tuesdays to the payment of hundreds and thousands of Cedis by a new breed of charismatic christians for a bottle of "anointing oil " intended to solve all their spiritual problems that in real life value isn't up to 10 Cedis, sums up the obsession of Ghanaians, Africans and the Black race with religion and its associated beliefs.
Born as a Christian into a traditional local Ghanaian community, l wouldn't for a second doubt or deny the existence of a higher God or lesser god. We have all under one circumstance believed and hoped that the bigger God or lesser god would intervene to solve one problem for us. However, the over reliance on God or a lesser god to solve all our problems, coupled with our obsession to label any minute logical challenge, illment, financial difficulties,natural disasters and accidents as spiritual problems is becoming the foundation of lazy thinking, incompetence, insanity and an excuse to cover up for our failures as individuals, nation and race as Africans. When the Akosombo dam dries up due to intense sunshine and lack of rainfall, we disturb God with prayers calling on him to shower us with rain, forgetting that God is not punishing us with the sun but rather giving us an alternative to meet our energy demands through solar energy. When our own foolishness to build on waterways and litter our drains with rubbish leads to flooding of our capital city, we have no shame shifting blame to a bunch of patriotic citizens who vigiled to demand an end to the energy crisis darkening Ghana, suffocating businesses, taking innocent lives and tearing families apart with joblessness. And we had a government appointee and communicator blaming dwarfs for the free fall of the Cedi and inflation in this 21st Century of China phones, fast foods and telenovela dominating Ghana and Africa.
Though very young in life, my little experience has taught me, that Ghanaians, Africans and the Black race are a bunch of spiritual freaks, constantly, consistently and incessantly labeling all petty challenges as the works of unseen spiritual forces of darkness hence their over reliance on God or a lesser god to solve all their problems. We hardly use our brains to solve our problems. For the God who created the American, Chinesse and Arabian gave them brains and he gave us brains too !!! Hence God will not forgive us if we fail to use our brains to make our lives and that of unborn generations better. For we are children of no lesser god.
Helen Keller was just 19 when she became deaf and blind but that didn't stop her from becoming the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. If she was a Ghanaian, she could have blamed her family witches, wizards, demons and gods for her misfortune and probably ended up at the prayer camp of Bishop Obinim or Prophet Ebenezer for healing. Had Thomas Edison considered darkness as the handiwork of the devil, we would never have had the electric bulb. If Americans had considered the moon as the abode of demons, Neil Armstrong would never have landed on the moon or pave way for the space science revolution. Orville and Wilbur Wright would never have invented the first successful aeroplanes had they believed in gods occupying the atmosphere and demons and witches flying at night.
The world has gone past the stone age era of primitive thinking, over reliance on God and gods, blaming demons for our challenges and dwarfs for inflation. Americans are now using 3D printing to create virtually every material we are using. The Japanese are now using trains nearly at the speed of light to ease transportation burdens and save time. The Chinese are taking over the world, supplying us almost everything including chopsticks and catapults. We had independence with Malaysia in 1957 but they are centuries ahead of us. The world is fast moving towards the pinnacle of science, technology and development and they surely won't wait for us. We must take responsibility for our actions, tackle our challenges from a scientific perspective and stop our stupid obsession with spirituality and religion as the source of our problems and the only means to solving them.
Again, the God who created the American, Chinese and Arabian gave them brains and he gave us brains too. For we are children of no lesser God !!!
May God bless our homeland Ghana and make us wise and strong.

Foolish Ghanaians. When are we going
to learn? A country of 28million morons being ruled by political bandits and hooligans. It hurt so much that sometimes I wish we are still under the colonial rule. My heart broke when I saw bloated dead bodies floating in the Odaw including
that of a toddler. I can imagine the pain and agony that family of the lost are going through. It is always the poor who suffers, but do the poor learn their lessons? No! Come the election day they will repeat voting visionless and the non-performing people to power again. The whole Ghanaian society is corrupt from hair t toe. We vote governments to power to effect good governance and not to exhibit ignorance and negligence as being displayed by the present government of John Mahama and his band of criminals. He is too weak to be a leader. Choose NANA ADDO or bring RAWLINGS back, period.

this time k asante you are right. mahama is too too too weak (he is not respected within the party, he is there by chance)and have bad luck in his undertakings.

Where is Atta Mills , what killed him, why was it that John Dramani Mahama said it was not needed to do post-mortem? If you are a real human being then you will know the secret behind that.
Hey stop your gyimmi gyimmi nonsense
Where are the Accra fetishes priests? Are the gods in Ho annoyed because Yvonne Nelson and Co came to make noise to bring flood to Ho. Those so-called fetishes priests should give us a break.

I hate to be tribalistic , we Ashanti/Akyem have been voting for one paticullar political party UP/NPP for ages, we don't even mind to VOTE for a SNAKE if such SNAKE is our own and on a ticket of Npp. It's wrong period.
Atta mills ghost is working
kill them all.anyone involved in Atta mills death will not have his or her peace of mind.
do parliament think about settlemen on the citizen who unfortunately live places that are prone to flooding...or are they going to find me contempt of parliament?
Vote wisely simple. Look at a regional capital, It looks like a shit hole. Luckily enough Kufour built the Keat sea defense. Rawlings can back lured you to believe he was sorry for ignoring you during his time. What major pro ...

Amevor, you are bullshit. Who told you Kumasi is nice? Have u travelled before? Who told you that Voltarians do not have food to eat? You and your family might be crazy.
Ewes are in their numbers living in Kumasi. The number of Ewes living in Akanland is more than Ewes living in Volta Region.

Stupid fool Ashantes imagining stupidity to make themselves happy
bro that not e picture of Ho ok.
Rawlings failed and he remains a failure to Ghanaians and his own people .
Choked gutters, what is the municipal assembly doing. If you have open gutters and you fail to clean them regularly this is what you will get
Sorry for the flood but you vote without thinking so continue to suffer.
Where is zoomlion?
Even if a dog stand for NDC,they will vote for it.
The Ga Traditional Area gods have visited Ho. We thank them they didn't take fire with them but only rain. They could have done worse. We need to pacify them as quickly as we can.
U are funny
So, who caused this flood too? Is it Dumsor vigil and boxing between Ayitey Powers and his guy? Where are they Ga. council?
Ass holes
Is a good news, after Ho it must move to kumasi .more rain more rain!
Kumasi people are strong enough to do their own things
Strange but are there storm drains in Ho? I am most flabbergasted, to say the least. I wonder where these people pick that noun from (STORM DRAIN!)?

For your information, Kufour didn't build the sea defence wall at Keta. Right, you don't know Keta. Ask, and you would be told.
Idiot, I knew you were a stinky trokosi rapist that is why you always insult Northerners and Asantes but never the trokosi daughter fuckers.
Is that one also caused by #dumsormuststop vigil group?shame.
