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

This kind of low class citizens have now a say in Ghana's affairs thanks to an inferior and highly incompetent party like ndc which relies on northerners and especially ewes for votes. Why won't such a calibre of an inward-looking ayigbe like this clown spew garbage and insult the intelligence of the true Ghanaians (Akans) when a party like ''ndc'' has made them who they are. Kwasiafuor who are only interested in their ewe cult but not the interest of other Ghanaians. Greedy ayigbe people.

All Ndc Voters Should Examine Themselves And See If They Are Very Normal At All. Its Undeniable That Ndc Strongholds Are The Poorest Of The Poor In Ghana So No One Needs To Be Told Of The Urgent Need To Development In Those Areas To Facilitate Economic Growth, Create Jobs, Improve Income Earnings And To Give The Poor A Chance To Survive In This Crazy World. Yet Ndc Comes To Power And All They Do Was To First Embezzle Nearly One Billion Dollars Thro Fake Jdgt Debts Paid Dubiously To Cronies, And Family And Friends...Instead Of Ndc Voters Expressing Their Anger At This Thievery, We Got Ndc Voters Foolishly And Moronically Defending This Thievery By Their Elected Leaders....What Manner Of Extreme Stupidity Is This?.......Then Came The Waste Of Over 300 Million Dollars By John Mahama In The Fake And Abortive Stx Housing Projects .....Such A Heavy AMOUNT OF CASH Could Have Done So Much For Ndc Strongholds If Wisely Used By Ndc Govt TO DEVELOP INFRASTRUCTURE.....This Didn’t Even Annoy Ndc Voters Who Even Continued To Shower More Support On The Ndc Leaders Involved In This Thievery.......Then Came Stories Of Sada Subah Gyeeda Etc And Rlg Colluding With Ndc Govt To Continue The Create Loot Share And Weep.....Yet None Of These Annoyed Ndc Voters.......WHAT MANNER OF PEOPLE ARE NDC VOTERS AT ALL....VERY EXTREMELY STUPID INDEED......,Mahamah roams with akuadonkor as if he has no serious business of govt to run .....meanwhile conditions in Ghana continue to worsen whilst ndc leaders don’t feel the heat as they amass wealth and build investments like fuel stations and invest in dubai .....these criminalities deepen poverty in Ghana especially north and volta yet these fools continue to shower praises on ndc criminal leadership......WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT STOP VOTING FOR NDC, WE ARE SAYING THAT CONDEMN THEIR ACT AND REPLACE THEM WITH GOOD STUFFS AND GOOD MATERIALS WITHIN THIS SAME NDC.....STUPID FOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLS ITS TIME TO WISE UP.

An interesting and inescapable fact……

Strange is it not that there appears to have been no journalistic reference to the folowing aspect?

The harder anyone is hit by ‘dumsor’ the greater will be their bill when it is eventually eradicated.

If, for example, because of the unreliable state of the current ‘Dumsor’ supply situation they are only receiving electricity for let’s say on average just 20% of the time, then when a 24/7 power supply is finally restored that would represent an additional availability of four times the present ‘dumsor’ rate, thereby making the 100% availability five times what it currently is.

Assuming that customers are charged directly according to usage [i.e. metered] and that their usage will be directly proportional to availability - they will be using,[and hence be charged for] around five times as much electricity as they are at the moment .

With the 59.2% price hike soon to be brought in they would find that their electricity bill will actually jump to around eight times what they are currently paying. An 800% increase!

Anyone who seeks to establish just how the impending the price hike and eventual restoration of a 24/7 supply might affect their personal liability to the supply company can use the following simple formula to show the factor by which their present charge will be multiplied

(1 + {[100 – X]/X}) multiplied by 1.59

Note that X is the percentage of time that electricity is currently being supplied.

For example only six hours a day equates to 25%; ten hours a day equates to 42%; 16 hours a day equates to 67%; and so on .

Fred, Ghanaians are not fools. Why do you want us to pay high tariffs b'cos of Mahama incompetence? Does that make sense to you?

Look at that idiot too with a say in cheap ghanaian politics. Had it not been stupid people like afarigyan and the useless justices who couldn't defined over voting, how could have this useless man got the nerve to insult ghanaians to pay more tarrifs?

Look at that fool, how many times this statement has been said and yet things are still getting worse. "Pay more for better service" this doesn't make any sense. For so long we don't have power work and flow of water but you keep increasing the tariffs. What are you using the money for? Competent people indeed.
