In abundance of water the fool is tasty. In abundance of rich minerals the Ghanaian is poor. When one of its members tried to bring transformation you will see the endemic silly minded shouting you cannot do it. Truly a prophet is without honour except in his own country. If you don’t have the mind of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah you can never bring change to Ghanaians. The mind of Nkrumah speaks louder beyond our borders. It is simply Fear of God and selfless service to Nation and the people.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” (Martin Luther King Jnr,)

It is very simple to develop the people to take charge in managing their own affairs; people must be encouraged to use their minds effectively and positively. The black person has been an object of mockery in the world for a very long time. Those with great knowledge expertise were and are being exploited outside their country of origin through “brain drain” philosophy. All because we don’t we believe in ourselves.

Most black people are so corrupt and greedy to point of selling their conscience for bread to betray their own. Today in our own land, our own people serve as agents to foreign profiteers to thwart the growth and development of our people and the nation. Many of our own go round the world misinforming our development partners from given us assistance or delay the processes that will enhance our development. Yet will come and spill bitterness about life in the country.

The have just one myopic ambition; to have access to power to enrich themselves and not the welfare of the masses. They see political ambition as an act of war by only dwelling on agitations other than providing solutions. Their plan is to manipulate the system to get them access. They always rush to speak on issue before analysing, very shallow and unintelligent, they prefer to be called names that sound intimidating however they are the most cowardice.

Such non entities vociferous traitors are in the country trying very hard every morning to make their voices heard to prove to their partners that they are doing well. However if you analyse them carefully, you will begin to ask questions.

What have they done for their community?
What are their personal achievements?
Where is their source of income?
Who pays their monthly wages and living allowance?
What transformation have they brought to their immediate community?

Be a true citizen and make careful choices, do not follow the masses when you can make a difference. It is not how much words you can put out or the grammar you can spew but the sense you can make. It is very true empty barrels make the most noise.

John Mahama forgets he is the President of the People. We talking about corruption in the people he John Mahama personal elect to manager our country. If they are corrupted and he John Mahama say he is not corrupt or taking Bribes is a BIG LIE. He John Mahama put the thieves there to sell for his party. Not political but his own party.
Where did John Mahama get money to ran his political campaign. His from wages or his allowance Ghanaians pay him. That should be much for a person. 25 pick up trucks, where did he get them from.

I am NPP guy but this was clearly the must stupid question ever asked on BBC. It's just like asking, 'have you cheated on your wife before?' How many men will have the courage to say the truth?

What do you people want the president to say? Yes? Why make noise about this, can anyone call or go to BBC with any evidence of giving bribe to the president? or better still show any evidence of bribery involving the president? Then raise your hands now or keep mute forever , Remember the president was not part of the wawaa regime and also not part of the NPP corrupt judges that Anas captured nor does he run any secret illegal account of his party and even the nation as a whole. Is there any evidence like what Afoko is saying about Akuffo Addo? Come on!! come out with the evidence now or keep silent forever

It is as if those who do not believe the president are from the corrupt NPP flock and they cannot wait to get the opportunity to accept bribes, waah waah waah like their former president. . Unfortunately for them, Ghanaians are wiser and will not give the kleptocrats that opportunity again. Never again. God forbid. .Let me tell you this: come November 7, if Ghana is blessed, we will choose JDM, but if Ghana is cursed, we will choose Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo, the fraud.

Ghanaians are funniest idiots the world has known. He's a man sitting on all the billions of Ghana's oil. It's so easy to deep his hands into it without anyone detecting. How much bribe will satisfy such a person? So if he says he's never taken bribe, it's possible. The problem is that the sumo is not on bribery. So the right question should have been whether he has received some money he didn't earn. So all these bullshit comments rather makes the man popular. He can refuse to take bribe but still has billions in hiding somewhere. So, Ghanaians, think a little. Your brains are getting wasted.

Last Don, you are one of the smart few individuals whose comments I admire. can't agree with you less. Sometimes I have to read your comments over and over to not miss any thing. It takes Selfless devotion and visionary leadership to transform a country, and JDM typically exemplifies this! Where as His Excellency Prez Mahama is busy working, trying to transform the lives of Ghanains, the opposition side and the npp in particular, is busy sabotaging him with their doom prophecies, lies, deceptions and all die be die tactics to render the country ungovernable for their selfish political gain. Apart from their egoistic self interest, they have no message for the country! Hence, the only way they think they can ascend to power, is lying, attacking the EC boss, violence, and litigation. Running a beautiful country like Ghana is not like running to the supreme Court with volumes of pink Sheets. Nor is Ghana a political science laboratory either!!
