  Sour loser. We will teach them how to fish, not how to eat fish. Which party in ghana has brainy people than npp? Ndc have a few brainy people no wonder they wasted their energy only on infrastructure, thinking it will win them the election. Instead of balancing it with sound economic policies and social interventions that the citizens can feel it, they were effective in insulting Ghanaians, and ineffective in sound ideas to rule us. Continue like that and you will stay in opposition till the party collapse. Unwisdom is all what they know. Pity.

  Please give Ghanaians some credit. .. We did not need NPP to lie to us that we're suffering from the NDC THIEVES in power.... .
  
  SADA.. ... GYEEDA...... But rebranding thievery..... Rlg NDC thievery....... Contract sole sourcing..... Unprecedented borrowings..... Nurses and Dr's and teachers can't be employed soon after finishing school....... GHANAIANS ARE AWARE OF THEM SO THEY KICKED NDC AWAY........
  
  
  NDC only had a tradition, culture and values UNDER JJ RAWLINGS, THE FOUNDER.... probity, accountability, transparency, integrity, equality.. .. .
  
  These are everyone's inherent values alright but it's OK if NDC championed them....
  
  But JOHNMAHAMA and ATTAMILLS hardly acknowledged JJ whilst they touted NKRUMAH like a god.. ... .
  
  So NDC presently have no value system to live by..... That's why all they do is propaganda politics and thievery and corruption.... ..
  
  
  In case you didn't know:
  Dr Esi Ansah of Ashesi University writes:
  
  "When people chant "toaso", what exactly do they want this administration/party to toaa so?
  
  The impunity?
  The shady sole-sourced deals for friends and family?
  More of the inflated costs for projects?
  The insulting of our intelligence with silly explanations for siphoning of funds?
  Knee-jerk economic policies?
  Spending oil money meant for the future?
  Woyome?
  Subah?
  SADA tree planting?
  SADA Akonfem deals?
  Fortiz deal?
  Ford gifts from contractors?
  6th March Brochuregate?
  Smarttys deal?
  $63,000 & $48,000 rent/month for govt. Agencies?
  GYEEDA?
  Spy Bill?

  Street Naming Company contract?
  Guantanamo invitees?

  Airlifting of $3.5mil to Brazil? (... Mind you, the GFA boss is still there..
  GFA's inflated world cup budget?
  E&P using state equipment?
  One-Laptop-Per-Child shady deal?
  A sea of FSH " communicators" who abuse journalists?
  Obscene splashing of cash for elections?
  ... Need I go on?...
  
  ... Really, what exactly do you want them to "toaa so?"
  
  You obviously don't care about this nation..."

  OSAFO,
  
  PLEASE,DO NOT CONTINUE TO PREACH ON THINGS THAT ARE SO BASELESS IN A COUNTRY THAT IS STILL DEPENDENT ON EXPORT OF COCOA BEANS AND RAW MATERIALS THAT CONTINUES TO EARN THE NATIONS HARD CURRENCY TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGET, IMPORTATION OF FOOD AND COMMODITIES AND EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS AND JEEPS FOR USE BY NON PRODUCTIVE NOISY EDUCATED AND POLITICIANS FOR THEIR EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  HAVE YOU POLITICIANS EVER THOUGHT OF THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE HARDWORKING ILLITERATE COCOA FARMERS AND UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS ON THEIR TOIL AND SWEAT THE ECONOMIC BACKBONE OF GHANA DEPENDS.
  
  YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR LAST PRESS CONFERENCE OF THE GOVERNMEMT OF AKUFFO-ADDO COMING IN TO MANAGE AND BOOST THE ECONOMY.YOU EVEN MENTIONED THE DISCONTINUATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN AS A EDUCATED CIVIL ENGINEER, THE FOUNDATION STONE OF A COUNTRY DEPENDS ON INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS, TRANSPORTATION,ENERGY,COMMUNICATION AND WATER,AND THESE INFACT ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMEMT OF A COUNTRY.
  
  ARE YOU AWARE OF THESE REALITIES.
  
  HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE ECONOMY OF WHEN THE EDUCATED AND THE UNIVERSITIES DO NOT HABE THE CAPABILITIES IN THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL SKILLS,TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW AND QUALITY SKILLED WORKFORCE TO PROPEL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TO STIMULATE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCOME, CONSUMER SPENDING AND BETTER STANDARDS OF LIVING IN GHANA.
  
  WELL, THE MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS GAVE THE NPP THAT FAILED THE NATION FOR MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS TO RULE THE NATION AGAIN, AND WHILE THIS HAS T O BE RESPECTED,YOUR ELECTED GOVERNMENT NEED TO KNOW, THE MANY PROMISES YOU PRECHED AT YOUR CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR MORE THAN FOUR YEARS HAVE TO BE FUFILLED, OTHERWISE,THE VULNERABLE WILL CONDEMN YOUR GOVERNMENT FOR DECEIVING THEM.
  
  ITS ONLY TOIL,SWEAT AND HARDWORK THAN CAN TRANSFORM THE NATION AND NOT A CONTINUED DEPENDENCE OF EXPORT OF COCOA BEANS AND RAW MATERIALS, AND AID, GRANTS, LOANS AND CREDITS.

  Yes Mr Sarfo Marfo, a lot of waste in the Financial System. All NPP has to do is to reduce the cost of your projects, as compared to the NDC. For example; Construction of a wall around any Ghana Embassy in Africa must be around ($70,000) not NDC'S ($650,000). School Block must be around (Ghc 120,000) not (Ghc 300,000) by the Corrupt NDC. A good five mile constructed road should not cost the Country ($22 ml) as charged by the NDC'S Criminal Gov't. If Nana Addo could refuse to accept a Ford SUV as a gift from any Contractor and Wayomi's money could be collected including interest and late payment penalty, NPP would own the governance for over 40yrs or until NPP gets tired of governing Ghana. The Country is longing for honest leaders, and Nana is the SMOOTHEST LEADER in the Business. God bless Nana, God bless Ghana.

  Nana Akuffo Addo must watch out and learn from previous mistakes pretty fast. He must be weary of bringing to the forefront of his cabinet men and women whose action under JAK sent the NPP into opposition. In my view, president Akuffo Addo must drop Alan Kyeremanteng, Hackman Owusu Agyemang, Osofo Marfo, Ursula Owusu, Nana Akomea and likes from his govt. These old soldiers will creat problems for him especially when it comes to reshuffling. Neither, must Nana repeat the mistakes of Mahama to appoint novices. The old are too old. The novices are too raw. I hope that he can get the balance right. The challenge facing Nana are hydra headed. He has massive public debt to clear. He owes allegiance to the financiers of his campaign including my friend in East Ham who invested only £6000 into the campaign. Already, Nana has sounded a coded warning for his followers to line up at the private sector where public money will be pumped. If you are looking to be rich under Prez Akuffo-Addo, go to the private sector. Watch out. Thatcher failed because she invested so much into the private sector. George Bush II failed because he relied too much on the private sector.
