    Ghanaians are indeed both abnormally ignorant and collectively insane. Stupid NPP complaining about the cost involved but not worried about Mahama's picture on a bus. Past presidents, fine, but a sitting president running for ...

    Sorry...You're wrong. This is subliminal advertising. It is by design that Mahama's pic is in colour. It's a way of having his face in front of the electorate.

    Mahama is the sitting and current Prez, all the others are past presidents. So aesthetically and for good visual communication, he should be distinguished from the others. Thus the coloured and the monochrome pics.

    The President & his followers have a low IQ.MMT is an economic entity that space could have been sold to companies to advertise their products to generate extra income for the company.Kufour used it but was it not paid for?

  • aikins 8 years ago

    Who in ndc could have such a brilliant idea like you? Nobody in ndc, they are all corrupt fools including their armed robber leader mahama and they still want us to give them the mandate after 2016. God forbid.

    Rebrand means to change brand name, logo, or image of a product or company.

    So far only photos have been fixed on the buses so this has nothing to do with rebranding.
