AUTHOR: MAHMOUD--- Mr. Mahama is exactly one of the visionless African leaders that have always been accused of misplacing their priorities. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed? Governance under the NDC government is all about deceit and 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they asked us to wait for a paradise in three years. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

I was talking with a friend last night and he said to me Koj, as for Ghana we the citizens have done it for ourselves in all areas, the government has done nothing for Ghanaians since independence. I thought to myself, this is something most Ghanaians fail to celebrate or debate about. Rather than I am this and that (CPP, NDC, etc.) We should be even ashamed to associate ourselves with these most selfish leadership and parties who come to knock our heads together in order to take our bread for themselves.
I get upset when they say Mahama failed us, in what way? Majority of Ghanaians prefer free meals rather than work for it. It is eminent since Nkrumah’s era. This is the party which feeds into your greed and laziness; however you have to be a member to receive your free handout. Common foot soldiers have a motorbike or tri-motorcycle (aboboyaa) which is an upgrade from the trog pushing. The rest are given cars up to SUV and mansions depending on your ranking. Quite naturally the prez never came to lead the nation but to lead the nation’s coffers to support his ambitions with the help of his 18 siblings and their close friends and perhaps if there is something left, the commoner may also grab what trickles down. So they go about bribing from the paramount chiefs including Asante Hene, top judges, pilgrims etc, etc who are just as greedy and free holders in order for them to justify their own cunning agenda. Watch it; the thief only came in to steal, to destroy and to kill and expect anything more, else beyond your grave or the grave of this nation for that matter. Let the wise man think and salvage the remaining pieces to safe for his family’s keep in the tougher days ahead.
Fellows, be proud of yourself if you are not among the free holders but you did it for yourselves. The governments have never done anything for us, they used to rub us blind, but this Mahama and family with an open eyes or closed eyes he go rub.

Mr. Mahama and his NDC tricksters are not interested in priorities that would ease the suffering of Ghanaians. They are only interested in prestigious signature projects for the enjoyment of few ruling elites , regardless of whether the inflated projects are priorities and value for money or not. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed?

Governance under the NDC government is all about deceit and 'opium of the people. They enjoy everything on this earth but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they've already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said there would be paradise in Ghana when we give them another mandate after the 2016 elections. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

Thanks First Lady. Sometimes it is quite depressing that people like Kwame won't keep quiet over issues they hardly have any knowledge or understanding in.

Mahama is deceiving people that he has borrowed money for verifiable projects so Ghanaians should give him another term. Sad!. He does not stop to think that courting IMF and World Bank in the way he has done is economic slavery to Bretton Woods institutions and their surrogate foreign investors. They will exploit our labour, land and our capital. This is likely to perpetuate for a very long time. Mahama and the Sunyani chief(who was promising Mahama 70% votes), I wonder if they actually understand the dynamics. Subjugation of our economy and our nation is the inevitable outcome of falling prey to so called grants and loans from these global financial institutions. The president should realise that what he has done is not sustainable at all.

NATIONAL LOTERIES, others shared among concubines, brothers, 24 children, pepefuo and other greedy and bastards and finally Nketiwaa's mansion in Canada, okujeto ablakwa's wedding, Elvis mansions in east legon, chaterring of plane to deliver 3 million to footballers in far away Brazil,20 million dollar NDC party headquarters and other brainless and stupid things. In affect, other governments borrowed for development whereas he borrowed and on top reduced a middle income country to HIPC in just four years.

Some borrowed and transformed the economy even in the absence of oil and gas, but you, John Dramani Mahama borrowed in the presence of oil and gas, and instead of the economy growing from lower middle income, it is now HIPC.

A wealthy man walks into a bank New York City and asks for the loan officer. He says he's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the man hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, which costs quarter of a million dollars.
“The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,” says the man, “and I have all the necessary papers.”
The bank officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. After the man leaves, the loan officer, the bank's president and all their colleagues enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a $250,000 Rolls Royce as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
One of the employees drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the wealthy man man returns, repays the $5000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "Sir, I must tell you, we’re all a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and discovered that you’re a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The man replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41?"

The President Mahama is indeed not the first and will not be the last President of Ghana to borrow. What the president fail to admit is the huge amount he and the NDC have borrowed. For just seven years Mahama and the NDC have borrowed a whopping 90 billion cedis and at this rate to give Mahama and the NDC another four years will mean to sell Ghana to the lender.
Anybody that understand mortage will know what I mean. If you cant meet your mortage payment the bank come with foreclossure. Mahama is killing us softly, not just us,but our unborn are included in this oracle.

What have you done with billions of oil money inherited from JAK? What have you done with all the killer taxes you've instituded? Where are the duty hikes?

He has crippled growth and job opportunities for graduate students who just entered the job market after graduation. The IMF conditions prohibits that! Ghanaians are suffering because Mahama's bad governance, corruption and thievery. The propaganda and lies have become too much. It's time to remove John Mahama and his NDC gov't from power! Vote the NDC out now!

You and your appointees have nothing to show Ghanaians for your borrowing apart from the albatross of debt which we have on our hands.
You have only succeeded in making you and your bootlickers fabulously rich at the expense of the ordinary ghanaian.
You are a liar who benefits from the lies you and your appointees tell ghanaians.
Ghana will never see prosperity so long as you and your vampires of politicians are in office.
Long live Ghana !

Is this good for nothing president Mahama not ashamed to say he is not the only president who has borrowed money,we are not saying don't borrow but not to borrow and share with your family friends and party members.That is making you the most stupid president in the history of Ghana . Because of that the sensible people of Ghana know that you are useless ,and don't know how to rule a country.All you Mahama know is to Lie,Steal and talk Nonsense.The only president who encourage his supporters to do bad things.If you tell Ghanaians you are not the only president who has borrowed money,they would rather laugh at your shameful talks.This shows that you don't feel ashamed of your bad government ? Sorry for you and your followers,I take them all as blind men and women.

Mr. President what you are doing is unprecedented borrowing to the point of bankruptcy and then overseeing reckless spending and turning two blind eyes to corruption and impunity in every nook and cranny of government. Borrowing to sole source is as good as transfer public funds into private pockets. RLG owes GoG $55m, Woyome owes $51m but despite these outstanding refunds GHANA cannot pay for Nigeria gas debt of $170m

What a lame duck excuse...

Borrowing must have visible results and then the GDP ratio goes down automatically. In this country borrowed funds disappear without a trace.

But why should you borrow so much, knowing that Rome was not built in a day. You have put this country in big trouble. Where is the oil money?

You are paying fraudulent judgement debts to Isofoton, RLG, Gyeeda, Sada Suba etc. How stupid can you be if you can't even pay for the gas we need so badly to power the thermal plants supplyiing electricity? You are so stupid and just foolish.

If the people don't see any development the borrowed money is used for, they have right to grumble since it is their money which Will be taxed to pay for loan and its big interest.

Mr President, you don't write history by doing what all other persons have ever done. You can only write history by doing what nobody else have ever done. So be the first to do what no Ghanaian president ever did.
