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 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 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????????

So does mahama want a new register? If mahama agrees that we get a new register we will get one. Changing the register has nothing to do with Mrs osei but everything to do with the president. He has too much power.

The EC and many other institutions in Ghana are not beyond suspicion and most of the aggrieved who cry foul have genuine cases against them. Long years of dictatorship and undemocratic governments have contributed immensely in destroying these institutions since independence.

As a result, the EC is very corrupt and does not have professional and democratic culture needed to conduct free and fair elections devoid of the usual electoral malpractices. Both the winners and losers know this fact, but the communist relics and dictators have been benefiting from the statuesque since independence, and they are already in bed with the EC to rig the 2016 elections.

Oyiwa, so Forbes too confirms we shall go to war as we are 100% sure NDC will rig the elections with election engineering , propaganda , corruption , bloated register , hegemony mixed with northern tribalism. Now that the dumsor barge fiasco has backfired and exploded in your face you present another half baked solution? Dumsor barge was meant to enable Ibrahim Mahama to own the majority of the independent power producing capabilities , increase unnecessarily the rates on electricity so our home start getting bills 3 to 5 times what they are now. We may be already refugees and second class citizens in our own country but that does not make deaf and blind to the truth. We know the root cause of dumsor is your Anti Akan hate agenda and because Akosombo is on Akan territory you have allowed mismanagement and neglect to practically put out of function one turbine after another. You spread propaganda and lies about some water level mixed with bullshit about the whole thing being old or obsolete forgetting that most hydro generators in the world are older than ours but still functioning. No talk of the possibility that its still possible to send these defunct turbines to Europe , North America , Japan or even Russia (NEVER TURKEY)and have them re-calibrated . Due to lack of timely maintenance from neglect and corruption blessed by the hate of the Akans politics mixed with Muslim caliphate destruction ,the turbines have all slowly spun out of axis and need to be dismantled to calibrate them , with the availability of new technology its even possible to increase the original 1000 megawatts to 1500 or even double if reverse turbines and other changes are made. Yes the undeclared WAR against the Akans continue, they already declare territories of the Akans such as Akosombo , Osu all the way to Kasoa and other areas as belonging to the Ewes , Gas or whoever, very soon we shall hear how the cities Kumasi , Koforidua , Takoradi and Cape Coast belong to the Zongo pepeni.Their vicious propaganda onslaught , brainwashing and subliminal message has left some Akans especially Fantis with no recollection of their proud history or even able to speak Fanti but now parade around as if they are Gas or ayigbe. Just like Al Capone was able to turn Chicago into a fortress for the mafia ,so have these sakawa mafia criminal NDC pepeni/ayigbe unholy alliance turned our country into a place whereby only corrupt criminals can prosper and decent silent majority marginalized. Their propaganda and grassroots network together with the security agencies are advertising an atmosphere of hopeless with the message that ALL are corrupt just like them. No worthy project can see the light of day due to their greedy corrupt demands and larceny. No progress can be achieved due to this rotten system placed there by the perverse , intellectually handicapped morons of the security agencies and NDC. Ironically enough this sakawa ndc govt has turned into their victims due to the massive Stockholm syndrome their own supporters , sympathizers and foot soldiers. In any sakawa situation we notice the victims when you try and enlighten them they resort to passionately hating you because they think in their delusion you are envious of their great opportunity . The end result is them loosing their life energy, misery and abysmal despair but God also punishes eventually the perpetrators and they too face death under very horrible circumstances. NDC is now desparate for a success story they can use to decieve Ghanaians of their benevolent intent but just like Al Capone they resort to creating an atmosphere/climate of destroying anyone who dares to raise their voice and speak the truth. We must continue our quiet whisper campaign to remove them from as just as outsiders and quiet majority of Chicago succeeded so will we. Fifi Kwetey says that the Volta region is the source and world bank of the NDC , and the lands /people of the Akans the bread basket to be exploited by them. My brothers keep your cutlasses sharpened and ready as just as when the European nations tried to enslave Germany into their breadbasket so must we soon teach them a lesson so that never again will they even dream of such a crime just like in Europe today. Freedom is not gained with a peaceful transition but with blood , we didn't start it but know how to end it . Very soon hopefully we shall meet in the front-lines of the battlefield

New register is a must. We the people of Ghana need to choose our own president not ECOWAS president. John Mahama is a disgrace to Ghana and Africa, john Mahama is uncivil and primitive to insult former president Obasanjo, john mahama doesn't deserve to be retained as the president of Ghana since he has bad temper to deal with other African countries. President Mugabe said john mahama goes begging for loans from the white people only to invest them in his use in other countries to the disadvantage of all Ghanaians. John Mahama must be DROPPED so DROP THIS ROTTEN YAM.

We do not need a new voters register because a new voters register would be bloated by the political parties smuggling names of minors, foreigners in their strongholds into the new register and there would be another round of calls by other political parties for a new register and we would back to square one.The only plausible option is the auditing of the existing register. Ghana will not burn if a new register is not compiled. Meanwhile the government should take steps to ban all the vigilante groups which have been formed by certain political parties.

Mahama nobody has said Ghana will burn if we do not get a new voters register. Your comment on the request for a new voters register is not presidential.
The request to have a new voters register is because, the current register is bloated,tainted and must not be used to conduct a general elections. Any elections result that this current bloated register is used will not be credible.
Mahama must know that the credibility of an election results is what is at stake and not the burning of Ghana.
I really question why Mahama ever became the president of this peaceful nation of ours.

I hope and pray that the EC is listening to this free,unsolicited and priceless advice full of wisdom from Mr. Kwasi Jonah. To begin with Ghanaians are not calling for a so called 'perfect' register. On the other hand if a perfect register is achievable then why not? Anyway what Ghanaians are demanding, in view of serious allegations from both sides of our political divide, which questions the credibility and authenticity of the current voters roll, is for the EC to engage quickly the political parties and stakeholders to come up with new credible voters register. Now how do we arrive at our goal of a credible register which will engender the trust of all stakeholders? First the current register and its data base should be subjected to a transparent forensic public auditing for all to see if the allegations made against the register are sustainable or not? If the NPP'S allegations that the register does in fact contains names of ineligible foreign nationals which timecompromised the credibility of the voters roll, then by all means we need a new credible register. The same must apply to the NDC contention if the inclusion of under aged voters names are found in the register too. The challenge and the solution that we face now does not need the application of rocket science to figure it out for us. It is doable. There is no more time for the EC and it's appointed committee to waste. They cannot use the convenient excuse of time constraints and the lack of funds not to do the right thing

It is dangerous to put the destiny of this country in the hands of a person of the calibre of John Mahama.
He is incompetent in all departments of life, apart from stealing and womanizing.
He has completely divided the country along party lines, and he thinks that becoming president is do and die affair. He doesn't talk like a president at all. He talks like a tribal war head who is ready to go to war at all cost.
Let me warn Mahama, that if he does not listen to the wisdom of our two former presidentts, Jerry John Rawlings and J A Kufour,and become blockheaded in his false sense of security, and war breaks out, the military will overthrow him as the most useless president of the century. If those loyal to him insists on urging him on to massacre his political opponents, the military would be divided along party lines, and that would be very dangerous for this country.
I just don,t understand why a political party like the NDC should always want to use foul means to cheat in an election. To the extent of hiring foreigners like the Israelis and Koreans to bring in equipment that can alter figures from pollling stations before transmitting it to the EC. It is mind boggling. What legitimacy or credibility would such a person have to become president of a country like Ghana. His tenure becomes corruption galore as exemplified in our current presidency. This try and error type of governance by the N D C is disgracful and, John Mahama must put on his thinking cap.
If war breaks out between NDC and NPP in the run up to the 2016 elections,John Mahama is finished as president of this country.
If he care to know, he should seek advice from General Anould Quinoo. He would narrate to him his experiences in Liberia some few years ago when bullets started flying and had to run for his dear life

By his baseless rhetoric over the voters register, Mahama has proving to be lacking in LOGIC: The NDC which insists using flawed voters register for our election, against NPP which advocates for a new and genuine one, which one of the two subscribes to DEMOCRACY?

And if the NDC INSISTS maintaining TAINTED voters register nonetheless, in the forthcoming election against popular public opinion, which party could be better described as PATAPAA?

Mahama has to be HONEST to himself and to the citizens of Ghana. People are not stupid, but rather astute: If as a president you refuse to reason, but rather rely on FEELINGS and baseless RHETORIC, you lose people's RESPECT and TRUST.

Whether Ghana will "NOT BURN" after elections or will, the FACT remains UNCHANGED that our voters register is TAINTED with foreign names which even NDC has not disputed it, so why any PATRIOTIC citizen will DISREGARD such potential illegitimacy or CONFLICT issue?
