He is more than useless, kwasea, go and eat his toilet, aboafun. Who is he? Is he more human than Nana Konadu that you idiots insult because of this useless guy? Had it not been Nana Konadu and her husband where will john mahama be apart from the front desk of the Japanese embassy? He is useless for stealing, The one you insulting because of your useless president, his father is not a thief and his father has not mismanaged his life.If your president is a responsible man he would have kids after wedlock and 12 concubines. Such an irresponsible man as president of our country, no wonder the EC is Ghana's enemy no.1 how can the EC allow foreigners to vote for incompetent and thieves to manage Ghana?, Kelly, your president deserve everything Ghanaians say to him. Go and tell JJ to shut up on your government? Fools following fools.

Bawumia is Islamic terrorist !
Bawumia is ISIS agent in Ghana ! he want to bring Islamic law to Ghana. Ghana is secular state therefore we don't want Quran in the flagstaff house ! im very disappointed in bawumia! very stupid and childish even a child would not make this dangerous comments! which country or part of the world can bawumia show us that Islam and Christian religion rule together? it can be Christian and Muslim believers rule together but they never rule with Quran and Bibles! because Quran have many opposition against the Bibles thats why we have Islamic terrorist against Christianity teaching. isn't the same thing ISIS is saying about Christians? we don't want Islamic extremist in the flags staff house. akufo Addo must be ashamed for choosing this childish bawumia. AKUFO ADDO must change bawumia immediately! read what bawumia said Another major issue that I want to bring to the attention of the people is that; if we look at the flagstaff house today, it does not reflect the people of Ghana in terms of religion. “We are in this country living peacefully and nicely; Christians and Muslims. So we believe in the NPP that Christians and Muslims should work together and that is why whenever we pick a flagbearer as a Christian, we pick a Muslim as a vice. And when we come and pick a Muslim as a flagbearer, we will pick a Christian as a vice. "So if, Insha Allah, Nana Akufo-Addo becomes president, he will swear with the Bible and enter the Flagstaff and I will swear with the Quran and enter the flagstaff House,” he noted. Currently, Ghana’s President John Mahama and his vice, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur are both Christians.lagstaff house!

For everything u say aba a person,someday u will surely account for it.But I believe this is an account u will give only on the day of judgement.Ig I knew u, I will certainly differentiate bt ISLAM and ISSIS to u.But I will advice u not to speak aba issues u neither knw nor understand. After all that christian leader hav done to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc, no Muslim mentions Christianity in their verbal talks but instead they mention people nd countries.this is becos our religion (ISLAM )teaches us not to attack other people's religion.ISLAM is far different frm the practices of ALQAIDA ,ISSIS etc. For the fact dat a person commits an act does not mean it's the teachings of his religion. If u want to knw aba ISLAM u can get me on 0244825679.

We need a wise leader, not Mahama who would say something nice at one time and spoil it the next or watch his associates say all kinds of things that would not unite Ghana. If you Mahama are sincere with what you are saying to the clergy, then STOP THOSE AROUND YOU FROM INSULTING OTABIL WHEN HE EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS. He is also a Ghanaian, who goes to the same market we all go. IF A MEDICAL DOCTOR WOULD NOT CONCENTRATE ON TREATING PATIENTS, BUT CAN TALK POLITICS, WHY SHOULD THE CLERGY BE ASKED TO CONCENTRATE ON JUST PREACHING? Also, We are one people, and electing someone to lead us must not be based on which part of the country person comes from or what religion he/she belongs to, but on COMPETENCE. Again, alling people ''DANGEROUS'' when they have no recorded his of violence doesn't make you Mahama look like you are practicing what you are preaching, because you would also be tagged, and that doesn't create a peaceful atmosphere. ADD UP TO THESE, DO NOT THROW A CHALLENGE ANYMORE ANYWHERE TO YOUR OPPONENTS TO ELECT A FELLOW NORTHNER AS THEIR FLAG BEARER TO CONTEST YOU. THAT IS DIVISIVE. We are one people called GHANAIANS, PERIOD.

HERE IS THE STUPID MAN YOU CALL GOD CHOSEN. DOES HE SOUND LIKE A WISE MAN?
READ THE FOLLOWING:

President Mahama has chastised the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for not selecting a competent northerner as its flagbearer.

Citing an example of former Vice President Ahaji Aliu Mahama, President Mahama accused the NPP for paying little attention to northerners.

According to him, the NPP has shown in the past that it has very little respect for northerners and therefore cannot be trusted.

The President made the remarks in Tongo when he resumed his camping tour of the Upper East region after suspending it for three days to attend to the victims of the Melcom disaster in Accra.

He said “our brother Aliu Mahama was Vice President for 8 years. I was Vice President for 3 and half years. For almost 12 years, we have tasted Vice Presidency. It’s no longer exciting. It’s no longer what we want.”

He said if the NPP wants votes from the northern part of the country, then they should put up Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as their flagbearer to face-off with him.

“They want to win here, they should put him in number one and let two of us contest and then they will get something from here,” the president said.

Meanwhile, President Mahama has described the defeat of the republicans in the US elections as a good omen for the ruling NDC and an indication that similar thing will be replicated in Ghana in the upcoming elections.

According to him, anytime the democrat party win an election in the US, the NDC also wins in Ghana, making reference to the 2008 elections.

He said: “In 2008 polls in the USA, Obama won by chasing the elephant into the bush and later the NDC also chased the elephant into the bush in Ghana, and just this week, Obama has again chased the elephant into the bush, which will be replicated in Ghana in December.”

He said the performance of the NDC government in the last four years is enough evidence to encourage more Ghanaians to vote massively for the party in the forthcoming elections.

President Mahama said inspite of the increase in wage bills as a result of the implementation of the single spine salary structure, government is still economically solid to execute more development projects in the phase two of the Better Ghana Agenda.

Joe was a successful Politician, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his career and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across an old country doctor who solved the problem. "The good news is I can cure your headaches... the bad news is that it will require castration." You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles." Joe was shocked and depressed. He woundered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "that's what I need .. a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 42 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in business 60 years!" Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "how about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said "sure..." The salesman eyed Joe and said "let's see...34 sleeves and...16 and a half neck." Joe was suprised, "that's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years" Joe tried one the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked "how about some new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said "sure!" The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said "Let's see... 10-1/2...E." Joe said astonished, "that's right, how did you know?" "Been in business 60 years!" Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked "how about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "sure!" The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said "Let's see... size 36." Joe laughed, "Ah ha! I got you I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old." "The salesman shook his head, "you can't wear a size 34, it will press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

At long last the president has addressed and answered some biased of the clergy who have on many occasions criticized the president and the NDC government who have managed to complete the roads, streets and the fly-overs left by the NPP government led by Kufuor including Nana Addo despite the loans received from Chinese government and other loans. Yes Mahama obtained loan from IMF yet he has used it to complete the major roads from Accra to Kumasi, streets and fly-overs in the cities which were dusty and killing peoples for more than four years during Kufuor and NPP government including Nana Addo. President Mahama and the NDC government have used some of the loan money to build the needed schools and colleges and many Ghanaians adore him as second to our late first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Long live Ghana.

You are stealing money and our wealth impoverishing every ghanaian. What wicked man is this? Western and Central region wise up. They always kill your people and come back to deceive you. They killed Atta mills. If you follow Mahama, Atta mills soul will deal with you.

Can Akufo-Addo make a similar promise the the Nation? I doubt it. Nevertheless, we should all hold Mahama's feet to that promise. It will all come down to how he does it.

I hope his making sure there are no violent incidents at the Elections does not mean unduly harassing or intimidating the Opposition.

It is up to the Clergy to put their money where their mouths are, so to speak. They are the ones who crave for the Public recognition as leaders in promoting and advocating peaceful Ghana. Let us see them take their Congregations to task on that.

For all the various violent incidents in the NPP, the Clergy has chosen to stay mute. So, in that sense, I would support the President's challenge to the Clergy to fully play their role in dissuading the hooligan Party activists from turning our Pollen Stations into Boxing arenas or butchers' dens, human abattoirs of some kind.

If the Clergy would want to hold Mahama's feet to this vow, that is great, but they should also not shy away from keeping Akufo-Addo and his marauding Invisible Forces under surveillance.

Long Live Ghana!!!

I am totally amazed at how you people lay insults on one another.It seems none of you ever read the history of this nation.I have completely lost all hopes in not just Ghanaian leaders but Africa as a whole.Both the ndc and npp are fighting to come to power for their own greed and selfish reasons.Please go and check up Ghana's annual revenue on and stop thinking mahama or nana will make any difference if none of the other past leaders did.Ghana has so far had only two visionary leaders and it really a shame that one of them is a white governor in the name of Guggisberg and the other is Nkrumah.Please I want you all to consider Ghana without all the infrastructure these two leaders put in place and make the deductions yourself.If any of you think any of the leaders today are for the people,then am sorry to say you are day dreaming.I wish I had the power to replace them all and bring in new leaders who are ready to serve the nation with all their heart.

As soon as he heard Mahama say "cut politicians down to size", Akufo-Addo quickly ordered his ALL-DIE-BE-DIE troops go out with their war weapons and cut down to size any NDC politician they may encounter.
