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

When at all will these fools stop flooding Ghanaweb page with useless comments and be decorous for once? Wouldn't you be happy if Prez Kufuor were your father or grandfather? You people are hiding behind politics and destroying our rich culture of courtesy. Post comments that will attract God's blessings into your life. Prez Kuffuor is 77years old.

Hey, do you know what you're calling for? You will open yourself up to insults!

You see, so many in Ghana don't see anything wrong with the way the man handled his management of Ghana's affairs, when it was the polemic-ridden in Ghana's political history.

I also worry about the mentality of Ghanaians, which dictates the way we advance, or stagnate. But that's the way it is, nothing is going to right it.

We are stuck in the mud, forever.

Your statement "He became president of the young oil-producing West African country on January 7, 2001" is not exactly correct! The West African country Ghana was NOT an "oil-producing" country when Mr Kufuor ascended to the presidency.

It was rather his good work and sound policies later on during his reign that propelled the country to find oil in commercial quantities.
Jasmine 10 years ago

What do you think GOIL stood for?

We were producing oil far long time before Kufuor even thought about being a presidential candidate for NPP. Only it wasn't in the quantities we actually see it.

How can you bean oil producing country when you are not producing in commercial quantities.

That is the point here not the name GOIL, which you ignorantly don't understand.

Huble yourself to be educated.

I care; if you don't. He is the best president Ghana has ever had. He inherited a HIPC economy and left us with a lower middle income economy. At the moment, our economy is worse than the HIPC he inherited. He met our debt at 6bn Ghana CEDI's and left it at 9.5bn Ghana CEDI's after eight years in office. Right now, our debt stands at 95 bn Ghana CEDI's. You see why Prz Kufuor is the best? Such a genius ought to be celebrated.

Really? And no minister or even a DCE of his is in jail? Wow! Let's wait and see how many ministers and public servants in the eight years of the NDC government will taste the sweetness of the Nsawam Prison when power changes hands. The likes of Betty Mould Idrisu and others will have rooms rented for them in prison when a good government comes since the "Dead goat" president would not do anything to secure our national purse because he is corrupt himself.
