The truth be told taking stock and a short overview of the political climate NPP has kept NDC on the ropes on the defensive for the past 3 years MEDIAWISE. NDC is now so battered and bruised there is no way they can recover in urban areas , infact even if they gave everyone a pot of gold or bribed in any other way they would loose . In the rural areas its another story. NDC has a slight advantage in the north and east because they have an ongoing house to house campaign which NPP in decades was either too arrogant or incompetent or sabotaged to organise. The people of the urban areas are spreading the word in the rural areas of the south and middle belt quite successfully to remove NDC from power but the cards are still stacked in favor of NDC because the state security agencies are more active there. Everbody knows any govt will perform better than NDC as our people or the quiet majority are in essence very decent ,its the NDC propaganda that has created the artificial atmosphere that everyone is corrupt to facilitate better theft and pillage of Akan wealth. Our security forces have turned themselves into unwanted, never to be trusted, occupational forces. Even here on this forum if you analyze closely the comments of those affiliated to the NDC you notice the undercurrents of the hegemony , tribalism and the work of the security agencies. Let us join hands and show them we can match them blow for blow , punch for punch even in the rural areas. Support any party that is willing to fight against the NDC . Collective guilt will not fly over this matter of epidemic corruption. Looking at the genesis and the mechanisms or root cause of this phenomenon we know exactly who the culprits are. This system was first developed in our country by elements close to Kwame Nkrumah and his political desire to build a cult personality just as we see today with Bawumia and before him JJ. Kojo Tsikata and his warped minded cronies and criminals from national security are the ones responsible as they designed and implemented the system. This is a system of Negative selection which doesnt allow our best to be called to serve rather prefers treacherous traitors , individuals of no morals or integrity all having perverse deviant character traits. In a corrupt society the undeserving , unqualified , incompetent with no empathy prosper while the opposite are marginalized , lynched or even killed as we have witnessed with Atta Mills, Acheampong , Ankrah and others. We mentioned the other day 2 sons of the Akans ( Kofi Anann and Sam Jonah) who invited to serve would turn the country around in less than a year but are no where on the political horizon talk less of being enabled to contribute anything positive to the nation. The truth be told we have over half a million (500,000) very highly qualified patriotic citizens from ALL tribes who can perform and are competent but they dare not raise their heads due to the vicious nature of The NDC , National security and other security agencies that have a strangle hold on the political climate. I advise all to verify these things i say and investigate the truth for themselves. Do we not have the likes of Daniel Tetteh ( a Ga in Databank), the sons of Dr agama (Ewes ) and countless Northerners with global achievement such as Baba Abu the banker? How come none of these well accomplished professionals have been thrown away to the roadside after all the investment our people have put in them? NDC is gone but the battle to bring things in order doesnt end there rather we need to remain vigilant and work to transform the politics by eliminating these useless remnants that have infiltrated every party. Mahama's treachery goes beyond incompetence as its only a symptom , the root cause is plain simple evil wickedness mixed with the retrogressive forces of his Islamic background. Corruption another symptom is part of the strategy to weaken the institutions of state , erase integrity and morals so we forever remain in this quicksand of poverty and backwardness . Incompetence implies amateurism , political illiteracy , ignorance etc but we say this is very deliberate as its supported by national security and other security agencies , practically all institutions of state are in compliance with the destruction or wanton looting of Akan wealth and future because they know its not theirs.To illustrate this point we will elaborate , imagine there is an ailing child that needs a heart operation or even simple appendix removal but pepeni president comes along and says i have the constitutional right to appoint the medical officer , so instead of appointing an experienced capable doctor he says my brother muslim pepeni is a butcher and knows how to cut flesh so he is appointed instead . Then the rest of us idiots are surprised and amazed when every time there is a patient things go wrong and there is death and misery all over the place. Then pepeni omanhene gets up and says npp vowed to make the country ungovernable so is to blame and sets all institutions of state to work at the destruction of the innocent npp. Now we return and all i say is just look at this govt and what do you really see , people deliberately in place who can never deliver , perform or do anything right in a thousand years, all of them sophisticated criminals posers and professional liars. The opposition we see is in a very sorry state as they have been infiltrated by these agent provocateurs , spies and sleepers . They cant even organise a simple house to house or door to door campaign due to internal sabotage and obstruction. We advise all decent citizens and Akans to continue the campaign individually to remove this evil NDC and make sure they dont even get 5% of the vote , then we shall see how the BNI will rig the elections for them. In our opinion any party not affiliated to the NDC is a good start and we shall make sure we dismiss 90% of the police force , BNI , national security and ministries civil service and replace them with more loyal ,patriotic and deserving citizens. A bad tree will always produce bad fruit such as we see with JJ and his offspring ashawo daughter who is only good for licking men's balls. Our advice especially to our diaspora is to avoid any family which supports NDC as they are nothing but gold diggers , fake users with no love in their hearts except interests. These ndc women all have one thing in common,irrational greed, no morals , no wisdom and no justice in their hearts just fine tuned in the art of lies and deceit.

GHANA'S MEDIA, CORRUPT & STUPID!! LOOK AT THE WAY MAHAMA WAS INTERVIEWED IN GERMANY. THE QUESTIONS WERE UP TO THE POINT AND IT FOUND MAHAMA SHAKING AND SWEATING. IT WAS PURELY ON THE ECONOMY AND THE MAN POINTED OUT TO HIM THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS AND DESPONDENCY ON THE PART OF GHANAINS UNDER HIS INEPT & CORRUPT NDC GOVERNMENT. THE JOURNALIST WAS A WHITEMAN!!! HE DOES NOT LIVE IN GHANA!!! BUT COME TO GHANA, WE HAVE OVER 80 MINISTERS REPRESENTING VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY. THIS SO CALLED RADIO PRESENTERS AND JOURNALISTS ARE UNABLE TO CALL THEM AND ASK THEM RELEVANT QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE COUNTRY IS MOVING FORWARD OR BEING DESTROYED, THEY PREFER TO CALL ASIEDU NKETIA, KOKU ANYIDOHO, ANITA DE SOSO, AKUA DONKOR OR KOFI ADAMS ( JUST FOR "noko fioo") TO ASK THEM WHOM THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INSULT IN THE NPP. LOOK!!! 4 YEARS OF DUMSOR, THE CEDI HAS TAKEN A NOSE-DIVE, NDC STEALING OUR MONIES, MASS UNEMPLOYMENT, UNPAID WAGES AND SALARIES: --- BUSINESSES, NHIS, MASS COCOA SPRAYING, SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM ETC. ETC. ALL COLLAPSED AND OUR SO CALLED JOURNALISTS JUST DISGRACING THEMSELVES. WHAT A COUNTRY????????

I LIKE TO ASK THIS STUPID MAN BATURE THAT HAS HE EVER HEARD THE NAME "GATE WAY TO AFRICA BEFORE? BETWEEN 2000-2008 PEOPLE IN THE WORLD CHANGE THE NAME OF GHANA TO THE GATE WAY TO AFRICA BECAUSE OF TUE GOOD WORK THAT NPP DID. BUT DUE TO JEALOUSY AND WICKEDNESS OF SOME OF OUR LEADERS THEY DELIBERATELY GAVE POWER TO NDC BECAUSE OF ONE MAN WHO WAS NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFFO ADDO. Then ask yourself why is it that Ghanaians leaders are so scared of him? I leave that to you as an assignment. God bless Ghana and Nana Addo will be the president of Ghana AT ALL COST IN 2016. Amen!!!

The Ndc incompetent administration headed by the dead and rotten goat president Mahama is the most useless and corrupt government in the world. Ghana is sinking and sinking fast can't you see. Shine your eyes Ghanaians and kick the THIEVES out. You can't govern a nation with propaganda , the economic crisis will expose you. Wake up people. Politicians are given the mandate to serve the people and not to create, loot and share everything while the citizens suffer. The nation's wealth is for all Ghanaians including the unborn and not for the greedy politicians,they are THIEVES and CRIMINALS. Which ever party comes to power and fail to put good policies in place for the benefit of the people just like the Ndc dubious judgment debts administration has done must be kick out. God bless Ghana.

Bature you talk too much but you do not understand what an economy is. The fact that Ghana is facing challenges does not mean we do not have an economy. Simply economy refers to all economically productive activities that go on in a country. It can be few activities or many. The activities could generate little or much revenue. Where it brings in much revenue the economy is a higher income one. On the other hand it is a lower income economy when it brings little revenue.

We have never had an economy after our independence.Things fell apart after independence. Kwame Nkrumah and his CPP. has brought Ghana to what it is today. Two people Dr Liman and Dr Busia who were about to bring the country to British standard, we did not have patience for their adminstrations. Let hope God heil us to find one one day. Our problem is how Nkrumah started the country after independence.
