I am a short dark bare headed man who has never experienced the good qualities of a grey hair. I lost all my hair through thick of smoke I got my self into and now causing me kidney failure.

My great grandfather is a traitor and a thief; my father followed his steps and ended up in prison,

I inherited all their ill gotten wealth and want to fulfil the dream my father had about me when he was in prison that I will one day become the head of state to release him from prison.

My father cautioned if I have to sell the properties to become what he dreamt of I have to

Now I have sold all the treasure bequeathed to me to enable me become head of state. Unfortunately failure has been my portion and I’m over 70 years of age; my father too is no more. This is not my dream but my fathers.

Who am I? GIVE YOUR ANSWERS……HEHEHE I have not mention anyone’s name oo

NDC could not frivolously spend $5bn of public money outside the budget in 2012 to buy the conscience of gullible voters, and expect everything to be normal in the subsequent years without any difficulties in our fragile economy.In fact, this is why Ghanaians are wallowing in hunger and are being overtaxed today. Can the IMF help Ghanaians?

Is IMF now running our country? If their warning is a hint that we dont sped money revising the register, then they stand to lose more when the country is seized by conflict before and after the elections!

Don't worry, IMF. The budget will not be exceeded during election. What is dangerous is rather a notorious litigant who will rely on his Fake Pastors prophecies that he will win the election, and after he has lost, will head to the supreme court to declare him president! Anyway, FAKE PASTORS are in serious trouble because UK Christians are going to expose them big time. Watch the following youtube video.

If there's no peace in the country IMF cannot function. IMF should not interfere in our election process. Ghana need a reliable voters register for 2016 no matter how it will cost.

This DEVIL INCARNATE otherwise known as IMF should FUCK OFF our back.

NDC is a GANG of IDIOTS who has NO clue how this MONEY-OCCULT ILLUMINATI SATANIC MONEY GRABBING POVERTY CREATING fund operate. Seen how they are so INTRUSIVE in our INTERNAL financial matters?

NPP and that matter, Pres. Kufour did a very a smart thing any sensible patriotic citizen will do for his country: Took his country off the FINANCIAL BONDAGE of IMF. But on the other hand, NDC gang thinks "HELP" can ONLY come from our MASTERS took the country backward to that financial bondage. Africans let's rethink our mindset: docility is destroying our every humanity. Are we innately STUPID?

I hope IMF is not interfering Ghana citizens’ election. Lack of money that not amount to accepting bolted register. It will do Ghana a whole lot of good if new register is done to bring peace and calm to Ghanaians. It will even cost Ghana more if there is chaos due to lack of understanding due to bolted voter's register.

Do you smell the money? Accra, Nairobi seen adding dollar millionaires faster than any other African cities
02 SEP 2015 19:36 JANICE KEW, BLOOMBERG, M&G AFRICA

There are about 163,000 millionaires living in Africa as of June 2015, with combined wealth of $670 billion, new report says.

THE Ghanaian capital of Accra is expected to add dollar millionaires at the fastest rate of any African city over the next decade, as a stable political regime and developed banking system help boost financial services, telecommunications and property development.

The number of people with net assets, excluding their primary residence, of more than $1 million will surge by 78% to 4,100 individuals in Accra by 2025, according to an AfrAsia Bank New World Wealth report into African cities published Wednesday.

The number of millionaires in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, will climb 71%, while those in the Nigerian city of Lagos, Africa’s biggest, will advance 46%.

“Ghana has one of the best developed banking systems in Africa,” Andrew Amoils, an analyst at Johannesburg-based New World, said in an e-mailed response to questions.

“It also has a strong free media and a competitive political structure, unlike most other African countries.” Accra’s expansion of wealthy people will also be spurred by “significant growth” in media and healthcare, he said.

Johannesburg is the African city with the most millionaires in 2015 and is expected to retain that position with a 39% surge to 32,600 over the next decade. The South African city, which has the continent’s largest stock exchange and more entrepreneurs than anywhere else in Africa, has more than twice as many millionaires as Cairo, which is second on the 2015 list at 10,200 individuals.

Only cities with a minimum of 2,000 millionaires were included in the report.

There are about dollar 163,000 millionaires living in Africa as of June 2015, with combined wealth of $670 billion, according to the report.

According to Africa’s biggest lender Standard Bank Group, the number of dollar millionaires in Kenya will grow at more than double the global rate over the next decade. Kenya currently has about 8,700 millionaires out of 18 million globally.

Early last month, the Johannesburg-based research company New World Wealth said Mozambique is the country expected to add dollar millionaires at the fastest rate in Africa over the next decade followed by Ivory Coast and Zambia.
