I think the NPP messaging needs some retooling and fine tuning. Seriously we need to hone in on bread and butter issues that 90% of the electorate care so much about.

At this point Arabic language learning wouldn't even register on the radar of most devout Muslims. The people want to know what is in it for them to vote for you? What relieves you are going to bring to rescue them from the bone crushing poverty that NDC mismanagement and stealing have imposed on them.

They want to know why no matter how hard they work they still continue to wallow in extreme poverty. Frankly, if we have money to drag in another foreign language whereas 70% of the population cannot even read in their own native language, then we would be showing the world how stupid we are. What is this enthusiasm to import everything foreign and rejecting our own? Why not teach the Twi language "throughout the country" if we think we have to teach a language that majority of the people understand even if it is not their native language, if we have to spend scarce resources, money and time on learning a language? Get on with real issues of importance, Bawumia, don't let me come down there to pull your ears.

It is only people and organisations that lack credibility would hide behind others to perpetuate unfathomable lies.

And that is exactly what you are trying to do by trying to hide behind the BBC, which mistakenly is thought by other porous minded personalities like you to spread false hood. But thank for now. Even the ordinary Ghanaian now understands what it means to substantiate claims with evidence. And that is exactly You should have done.

Let me help you out here, if anyone is as corrupt to have own foreign accounts and estates abroad, then no one comes close to the NPP.

The only good you can do the Ghanaian is to seek for redress at the court of law if all these claims are true as you sort to put it.

Old Soldier kindly be informed, 2016 election shall be won on the principles of truth and reality, and not lies.

Wise Up.

Dont accused President Mahama and the NDC Gv't wrongly. JDM care about his people and committed to turning the fortunes of the economy around as evident in the establishment of Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) as a vehicle for mobilizing and providing resources to manage and invest in a diversified portfolio of infrastructure project. As a caring president, he has recently reduced utility tariffs by 10-15 percent and that of petroleum products. The new Sugar factory which is under construction in Komenda, C/R when completed will create about 7,300 jobs for people. upon all these and you claimed government is interested in making his people suffer? please come again...

Discerning Ghanaians are equally aware of the numerous thievery allegations which have been leveled against the NPP such as

1. HOTEL DE KUFOUR,

2.The Minister of Health under President Kufuor's presidency, Dr. Richard Anane who attended an international AIDS Conference, had raw sex with a foreign lady, had a baby with the lady, and transferred as much as US$100, 000 to the said lady in the USA, an allegation made by no less a person than the very same lady concubine, Alexandra O'Brien, herself.

3.The Over US$ 75 million dollars spent on Ghana's 50th birthday celebration,

and the icing on the cake;
The expose by Former deputy finance minister under the NPP, Dr Gheysika Agambilla where he described the NPP's approach to politics and governance as PROCUREMENT POLITICS which is widely circulated in the books he wrote after he left office.
Dr Agambilla also told American officials that there was widespread corruption in the Kufour regime especially in the forestry sector. This was contained in the leaked US diplomatic cables.

Discerning Ghanaians know better.

Old Soldier, you always stand to make baseless argument, Comment on the subject understudy and not what you think should be done.... lol... sometimes when i read your comment it makes me laugh because you don't have anything encouraging to share among these intelligent people here commenting with us. Alot of people here understand that, the Name Ghana is a christian name and when NPP are trying to put something across especially on religion, they should first think outside the box and refrain from creating misunderstanding among religious groups in the country. And by the way, Did those in Zongo lament that they need Arabic studies, we are even suffering with the QUEEN language and NPP wants to add Arabic studies, Please Dr Bawumia, Ghanaian needs a leader who will transform the country just like Mahama is doing. Give us a great and life transforming policies and stop beating about the bush. Long live Ghana.

Why don't you champion the study of Akan or any other Ghanaian for that matter to improve it and make it our own than to bring in Arabic, the language of the slave master who does not regard us as human. Sometimes I wonder how politics and desperation can even turn the smartest guy into a fool.In the emerging world economic system, where China will soon be the next super power, why don't you strategically introduce Mandarin or Cantonese into our school system as compared to Arabic will give us a comparative advantage to be able to deal with issues with regard to the economy than skewing towards a religious angle. With or without you Arabic will always be learnt in our eligious schools.

NPP paaa! we talking about quality education education and elimination os schools under trees being undertaken by the NDC government and you talking about arabic language which is in anyway a subset of the quality education being championed by the NDC government. Aside giving life to SHS in the country, significant progress has been made in the area of education since the coming into office of NDC. Access to education at all levels has increased considerably from 45,447 to 57,270 representing an increase of 26 percent.sandals and free uniforms are also being distributed freely to pupils across the country. The ministry of education has re4cently hinted of promoting and using local languages alongside the English language in our educational system. Mr Bawumia kindly consider different campaign message to sell because i dont think the electorates will buy this one!

What good is Arabic to the average Ghanaian? If somebody wants to study Arabic as a subject ...fine,but to use my cocoa money to force Arabic down our throats is pure bunkum! We cannot even get our heads around English after more than 300 years. Instead of talking about Science the "hollow" politician is talking about Arabic.

What good will will Arabic bring to Ghana? Arabs are learning English to integrate themselves into the international community, and here is a vice-presidential candidate, trying to promote the opposite instead of promoting science and technology and other useful areas for the Zongo communities. I suggest Nana drops this guy as his vice presidential candidate if he wants to go anywhere close to the Flagstaff House, something that is already a daunting task for him.

How can a party that hates Muslims and wants Muslims who have been wrongfully in the US sent back promise to promote the study of Arabic language? These guys are just desperate for power and would soon be promising free wives for people who cannot afford to marry. Dr. Bawumia is not thinking of promoting the study of any northern language in Ghana. Rather he is promising the study of Arabic? This must inform the voters in the northern part of Ghana that, Dr Bawumia has no single interest in promoting Northern Ghanaian culture or any of the languages in the North of Ghana including his own Kusasi language. This is a very BIG SHAME and his party must be rejected and prevented from coming to power right from today. Northerners must rather vote massively against the NPP for this unfortunate comment.

The reality of what Bawumia is promising is the current trend of happenings in his party, the NPP.

He is making promises to our Muslim brothers, but I can tell that, those promises are just bait he is trying to use to win for himself and his NPP party political power, and that ends it.

Between the NDC and the NPP, the NDC since generations has proven beyond all reasonable doubts that, it cares for the Muslim community than the NPP.

The NDC through various policy directives have extended various forms of supports to these communities and the reality is that, the NDC as a party has an open policy which favours Muslims than the NPP has.

Some times past, the NPP has pride its self as a party of elites. And they thrived this cynical argument on the fact that, the NDC is flooded with people from uneducated Muslims communities. One of their party Stewart, Usula Owusu was on radio last year lebelling our brothers from the North, who are thought to be dominated by Muslims; as people only fit for cow rearing and not leadership.

This accounts for the very reason why, they have through several calculated means, ousted their own Party Chairman Paul Afoko from office. why? He is a northern and a muslim. For that matter, he can't lead them. And it's pathetic these people can still move round to solicit votes from these communities.

so the food for thought here is, among these two kind of group, NDC and NPP; which of them should be described as having the Muslim community at heart? Your guess is as good as mine.

Finally, I personally see governance as a continuum, and that is it. So for the mere fact that the NPP initiated policies that the NDC in government still works with does not mean the NDC lacks objectives. It only tells that, the NDC more than the NPP understands what governance entails.

The LEAP initiative like several others are very much vibrant now under the NDC than they were under the NPP lead government. And the facts are readily available to help anyone in doubt about this reality.

God bless Ghana.

You see where you are in politics now try read all the comments posted because of the to-be-policy of teaching of the Arabic in our schools. Already we are having problem with the English language since the first white man arrived on our shores, Bawumia you do not talk about finding possible methodology of teaching the English language but you are rather preaching the reaching of the Arabic and how the to do ablution before prayers, a funny politician. Was that you went and learnt from the recent Mecca (Hajj) you went? Because President Mahama is on the process of the transforming Ghana into a modern state, you are getting confused, Haba Bawumia.

(2) Buckingham University (UK)

(3) Lincoln College (Masters) - UK

(4) Simon Fraser University (Canada)

Where is the Arabic in all these?

I recall the departed vice president Aliu encouraging people to embrace formal education and I want to believe he said so because of the doors and opportunities he had because of formal education.

You see how stupid the NPP is? Arabic studies and when you are done who is going to employ you? Think about it carefully?

If NPP wants to exacerbate the already bad employment situation in the Zongos, then this is the way to go. Go and study Arabic and when you are done, you will find no job. Even in Saudi Arabia, they have almost 30% unemployment rate.

Visionless NPP and Bawumia Balawu Buluu, what about something futuristic for the Zongos? What of coding/programming? Don't you think something along that line will open up the future for the Zongo communities and brighten their future?

A privilege child like Dr. Bawumia whose parents were prominent Ghanaians and had his education abroad and taught abroad, must offer a better and forward-looking proposals to lift people out of poverty, instead of telling them to go and learn Arabic. Studying Arabic will not lift you out of poverty, it mostly likely make your predicament worse. I fear to say that.

NPP lack of vision and new ideas is on display.

No need to officially promote Arabic in Ghana. We should focus on our own languages and English, the language of the global economy! And some French as the countries surrounding us are francophonie. The Muslin Bible is already available in English, just like the Christian one!!

Bawumia is a worthless serial liar. This loudmouth served the NPP administration of President Kufuor, as did Serial Loser Nana CIA (Clueless Incompetent Akufo-Addo). Not once did these two elephant- riding serial liars do anything in that NPP government to champion Arabic studies. Now that they sense their campaign sinking beyond salvage, they want to use sugar-coated serial lies to attract Muslim voters, as if that block of voters has no ability to see through the lies of these elephant-riding serial liars within the Nana CIA camp.

Spare us this balderdash,you liar and con man.Look what you are causing.As if your lies and fabrications
are not enough to tilt the country into civil war .Do you have to cap it with this
timing bomb ? Yankuri Alahaji,Ghanains (Christians and Muslims) have co-existed peacefully for a long time.Don't put a knive into the things that hold us together.You know why you are doing this.This nonsense denotes desperation.Have you thought of the repercussions of your insensitivity ? I have nothing against learning any language but your very motive - to score cheap political points- is sickening.How about advocating for studing science and technology to keep abreast with time.Have we even mastered English that we have learnt for centuries ? Let's even look at what we are doing to the Twi we(Akans) often brag about.Have we mastered it ? Recently I came across a Twi movie CD with a laughable tittle 'ONIPA ETIRE MU Y3 SUM' and that is not all .Just go through all the twi movies and look at the tittles or listen how the actors speak twi.Go across the oceans and deserts to learn Arabic, Dr.Bawumia ? Seriously ,why not Hausa ? At least it is spoken almost every where in West Africa .Don't poke trouble.
