The country has been mismanaged for so long that the only way to rest affairs and put things in the right direction is unfortunately through war . Our gold and all natural resources are of no benefit to the people despite over 30 billion dollars every year of these exports . Our people live in poverty and have the standard of a nation in the 17th century rather than enjoying the standards and benefits of the 21st century . I need not quote Socrates or Aristotle, Confucius or Roosevelt but today i will mention Stalin .Stalin said the core of all governance or politics is the personnel politics , today we see a govt packed with alajih Muslims , northerners and ayigbe Ewes whose only agenda is to destroy the economy , discriminate against the majority Akans and ensure exploitation , slavery and poverty so in the ignorance the people retain their system of governance. Yes there only 2 ways to determine the legitimacy of any government of system of governance and that is one through the ballot box or by war . America and all the nations of the west were not born or did not gain their freedom and right to justice through the ballot box but by war so its time to prepare our great nation the Akans . We do not need 99% approval but less than 1% of those who are aware to begin this effort and thanks be to God in my travels around i see our people are ready. We rejected despite all the trickery colonial rule now is the time to boot out this pepeni/ayigbe pestilence and no more weep by the rivers of Ewe/Northern?Muslim Babylon. The divine duty of every nation set by God is to seek freedom from any oppressor or unjust system and we shall never surrender to these criminals , its our turn to say let their blood flow. Now they rush to sell off for a pittance the ECG and any thing else that will burden us with debt or deny us the capability of self reliance through managing our own wealth claiming these are the rules , the bullshit will never end. The personnel politics is important even in economics as the only way to secure loyalty and good intent is if the majority themselves own their own natural resources . These NDC idiots and their sleepers in the NPP have a perverse way of interpreting good economic principles and turning them into yokes so heavy the people are broken into poverty . Imagine Putin of Russia privatizing the oil and gold of his country and it being owned by non Russians , foreigners from Europe China or America . Imagine Britain , Norway or USA allowing their industry , natural resources or oil be owned by non citizens ? We are surprised we have fake exploiting investors who never bring their profits back but rather buttress their economies in their own countries with our money and wealth . Yes its time to end all these , find true thinkers and patriots who will truly love our people and put them first . Yes only war will remove this oligarchy who think the way forward is to keep our people in poverty. We challenge all sound minded people to review and reflect upon all political decisions of the last few decades and observe how they find ways of perversely undermining otherwise correct macroeconomic principles and rules into nightmares of worry and trouble for future generations. They sell our golden goose to foreigners and applaud each other in their stupidity of how they were able to sell out the interests of the ignorant people. Yes war will make them know the price of betrayal and selling out the nation's interest . Not a single decision has any common sense or is motivated by the true desire to serve the interests of the people . Today we see small boys driving around in expensive cars because they are pepeni /ayigbe hegemony tribalism saturated . Time to end all of this nonsense and this is the year , forget elections and prepare for war as they will only attempt again to rig the vote and will never be encouraged to go away peacefully . When oppression , discrimination ,stealing and corruption becomes the norm rebellion and war become the duty.

Rubbish ! You think it is right also for 32 judges to be sacked for recieving gifts ? You idiots illiterates lack logic reasons .Mahama is but a civil servant. He is under the oath , that prevent him from using his position for gifts if not bribes labbelled ' conflict of interest.' Building a fence in Burkina for a voucher of $65000, which is paid by the ghanaian tax payer, and recieving a car as a gift , is an offence that is liable to immpeachment , if this gift was , infact a bribe in other words ! Mahama have so many cases of btibery and coruption arround him, you cannot simply trust this guy and label him innocent. Ghanaians must teach him the apprioptiate lecons for thinking he could be smarter than the nation.

How can Mahama and the NDC hand over juicy contracts to a Burkinabe contractor whilst our local contractors have no jobs.
Remember the UMB, AMERI, KARPOWER and UBA stinky deals all had something to do with the stashing away of Ghanaian moneys to dubious foreign entities . Now Togolese enjoy NHIS more than Ghanaians and NDC members are happy.
The other someone assessed health services with the NHIS card. The shocking news is that he was asked to go and buy common paracetamol. This happened right here in Ghana but Togolese come to Ghana to enjoy some these things freely.
The issue is without oil money Kufuor was able to implement free maternal care and proper health insurance to Ghanaians. Unfortunately, with all the oil money NHIS cannot afford common paracetamol to its subscribers

My friend everything is wrong for the president to receive gifts especially from a contractor who one way or the other awarded various contracts from the Nation.Don't you think this is with an ulterior motive? It is against good work ethics especially at the presidency. See NDC is doing everything to destroy the good name of this great Nation, after destroying the economy. Aba NDC what have we done to you? Enough is enough. I therefore call on the good people of Ghana to demonstrate their love for mother Ghana by voting NDC out of power.

You people must stop deluding yourselves and start building a better image for Ghana.

What image? Those days of Kofi Annan are gone. Other nationals treat us like shit everywhere we go and you call this image.

The best image to show is to be self reliant and stop this foreign assets and goods craze.

The reason I will not stop at just Mahama's door, is because others would have done worse.

Ghana is a broken nation with corrupt and evil souls and the time to change is now.

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Bagbin, you have lost the respect I had for you by trying to denied there corrupt nature of the gift the President received from an ordinary Burkina citizen. Kanazue or whatever he calls himself is not the President of his country for him to offer an official gift to our country through our President. He is an ordinary contractor seeking to pay his way into winning lucrative contracts. His own account of how he got to meet Mahama for the first time confirms this.
What proof do we need to establish that our President acted corruptly in receiving the gift, labeling it as a second hand vehicle for customs purposes, and personally calling to thank the Burkinabe contractor. In any case, why on earth did President Mahama personally pay duty for a car that you NDC rogues are now calling a State gift? It is not a State gift because Kanazue did not qualify to give a State gift. It is bribe, pure and simple, received by a corrupt President from a corrupt contractor.

I want to see where the president abused power or influence with dates and places for validation.I want to know how directly or indirectly Mahama played a role to favour the said contractor.I want evidence of where the president used his position to favour the contractor.If the journalist,Mr Awuni has already accused the president of bribery then he must be able to pin point how the president was involved in these contracts,otherwise his accusation doesn't make any sense.Thank you.

Every President accept and receive gifts but our African Presidents are soo much corrupted that even if a gift is of a genuine intention we still doubt its genuiness. The reason behind all our African Presidents corruption is that they come to power with little or no money and they make sure they are fully rich before they leave power eating with both hands.

The "Kanazoeing" of the Presidency and John Dramani Mahama is further proof and example of the how the John Mahama's NDC gov't took the rather unenviable, reckless and irresponsible position of the 2nd most corrupt gov't in Africa after S.A according to TI on the corruption index.
Under the Mahama-led NDC gov't not only has Ghana's image been dented, the record defying levels of monumental corruption has collapsed this country and John Dramani Mahama is on the cusp of turning the Flagstaff House into the KickBack House of West Africa and consequentially, burying Ghana in the very pits of opprobrium and insurmountable retrogression on account of this massive levels of corruption.
The continued bastardization of the governance process by the Mahama-led NDC gov't in its so called fight against corruption which has been proven to be a massive shambolic exercise in propaganda has crossed the point of no return and Ghana must arrest this galloping waywardness of irresponsibility by ushering the John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't out of office massively in the upcoming elections. It must, and should be uprooted stem, branch and roots to save the image of this country. Enough is enough.

Leaders of countries should display sound judgement. The problem with Mahama is that he is flippant in his attitudes. Sadly that is what seems to have caught up with him. Even if his intentions were genuine he should not expose the country to ridicule by the acceptance of a second hand vehicle from a businessman who wants a contract from the state. For clarity in his dealings he should be seen as completely clean.
