Mahama found it convenient to order the posting of trainee nurses from his native Gonja tribe to newly constructed health posts dotted across his native Gonjaland whilst neglecting those from other parts of Ghana. He even sidelined the Lobis(Brefos) within the same region and Gonja districts. All these Mahama is doing to carve out a separate region from the present Northern Region for Gonjas. With this wicked agenda by Mahama, how can Ghana develop under his presidency.
Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

Nana addo is the most useless political figure in the world. Nana addo popularly called all die be die is planning to set Ghana ablaze. Don't waste your votes on that useless man.

Why not relocate to Ghana and enjoy the better Ghana agenda being implemented by Mahama?

I don't always see eye to eye with Pratt as he's fond spewing a lot cabbage without logic. But to me, this is the most sensible and thought-provoking thing he'd ever said. I am 100% in support of this. We are here talking about the lives of our children and grandchildren. I understand why the exams are held during the raining season but all it takes is to alter the academic calendar. Those of you who say that examinations are held in winter in some European countries are naive. I was an examiner for many years in the UK and the winter examinations are held in October/November when the threat of the dangerous icy temperature have not started yet. Let's put this to debate to find a common ground to safeguard the children. Well done this time round Pratt.

In countries that have snow, hurricanes and all types of storms, do schools reschedule exams because it is hurricane season?

let think about this well. With the climate conditions and it repercussions in ghana now one can't help but agree with Pratt.we will be the same people to conderm the government and GES if it rains heavy on one of these exams day and something drastic happens.12 months in a year the exams can be taken in any of these months aside the rainy season when it now extremely dangerous to go out when it start to drizzling.thx

Yet you print and sell your newspapers in the rainy season. You jump from one radio station to another to expose your long teeth in the rainy season. Soon you will run out of things to criticize.

Yes I remember we used to write in April when the rains have not set in very heavily so I think Pratt is making a lot of sense. But brothers and sisters with due respect must we always insult each other if we disagree with each other on any issues. I think if we are really the future leaders of Ghana then we must educate our self on social media and desist from all the insults.
