Jackie Ma - the founder of Alibaba said: *"The worst people on earth to serve are the POOR PEOPLE"*

POOR: *meaning* "Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly"

*See the reasons below:*

1)Give them for free, they will think it is a trap.

2)Tell them it's a small investment, they will say "you can't earn much".

3)Tell them to come in BIG, they will say "I don't have any money".

4)Tell them to try new things, they will say "no experience; has it been proven to work?
Who has gained from it before?".

5)Tell them it's a traditional business, they'll say "it's too HARD to do".

6)Tell them it is a new business model, they will say "I don't do network marketing and how many years has this business model been existing?".

7)Tell them to run a shop, they will say "I will be tied down, I'll have no freedom".

8)Tell them to follow a 1-year business plan, they will say "it's too long. Please, I can't wait for so long".

9)Ask them what can they do? They will say "I can't do ANYTHING".

10)They like to ask friends who are as hopeless as themselves to get their opinions. Even the Bible acknowledges the fact that blind people don't lead blind people.

11) They think more than a University Professor and do less than a blind man.

Penny wise, Pound foolish.

One major challenge POOR people have is "LACK OF ACTION!"

They enjoy their comfort zone, dwelling and swimming in "what if".

Anything beyond their reason "can't work, and therefore it is fraudulent"

This is the cause!

If you continue to earn what you are earning at the moment all through the months until the end of next year, tell me: will that dream of becoming a financial pillar in your family be achieved soon?

Well, YOU alone know the answer.

*BE POSITIVE*
*BE SMART*
*BE PRO-ACTIVE

Ghanaians fit the description more. We are lazy and stupid. The only way we can get ahead is to steal from national coffers and stash in another country. Just look at what these ANAAPO people have done. Created infrastructure projects, source loans at premium rates, over priced the projects, took their cuts, built and bought houses and hotels in Dubai and the West. In essence, they have created more piverty in Ghana but destroyed the stolen money as well.

We see now the results of the break down of institutions through corruption and incompetence so the proper safety standards have not been enforced . We should banish all these ayigbe/pepeni idiots from our country as soon as possible before more tragic bad luck befalls us. Plain and simple NDC is not a political party but the megaphone of a hegemony/tribalism treacherous insidious movement of Ewes Northerners and haters/traitors of the Akan. They wooed and deceived the left wing aspirations and heritage of the Akan people but installing a few naive genuine patriots or impeccable characters like Mills to front their true criminal genocide agenda. Any nation that allows murder of the leaders to go unpunished no matter the lying propaganda justification is doomed to failure and that is a fact of history , NDC has continuously found it necessary to murder all Akan leaders starting from Kotoka's wickedness, to Acheampong and now Mills. We Akans can not call these Ewes and Northerners brothers if their most intimate desires is our destruction stemming from deep pathological hate and is manifested in their style of govt which has always been very destructive and retrogressive , be it the buga buga rawlings or the family and friends corruption/looting of Mahama. We thank Akans of the left wing inclination for showing their support to remove this criminal mafia by not excising their right not to vote and therefore leaving the NDC high and dry.They know the Akans are half right wing and the other half left wing so their calculation election engineering required that they stick to the hegemony of the Ewes and fantical islamic discrimination mixed with tribalism of the northerners and they would win hands down every election, little did they know that the ideological left wing of the Fanti speaking people and the Brong Ahafo are far more sophisticated and can not be fooled by no one forever. Next year we will see and witness the true extent of the destruction and expose with real proofs the colonization by Ewes and Northerners of the wealth of the Akans . Justice should be enforced not these fake laws that have so many loop holes that true justice in the interest of the people is elusive. We witness how thew Mahama family now have control of all natural resources including reserves of Bauxite and iron ore so frustrated and sabotaged every effort at industrialization and construction of railway networks as they did not want the people to get wealthy by adding value and exporting . Its easier to manipulate ignorant illiterate impoverished people. They snear scoff and laugh as they know these and other impediments and obstacles will seriously slow down NPP's deep desire to secure a true development for our people , yes the battle goes on and the only way is to cut these pepeni/ayigbe out of our country so we gain new independence.

Yes, the indiscipline is the main factor. But I think the nation is also paying for the occultic practices of politicians in the run-up to the elections.

Spend your time reading and learning to write rather than being partisan and insulting. Is Addo the president elect or president of Ghana?

Too many state agencies checking standards in this country. Some time back one could see standards board officials physically checking the volume of fuel being sold to the public. But now the many agencies are only interested in the fees that they collect. We need to get serious as a country.

Even when we do have strict laws on our booksregarding safety in industrial and commercial establishments, corruption in society negates the spirit of the law when it comes to inspection and implementation as a comprehensive part of enforcement. People are aloud to flout environmental standards and get away with it , thus leading to senseless loss of lives. MAY THE SOULS OF THE DEAD REST IN PEACE.

It is shame to be a Ghanaian than **chicken shit** No law works in Ghana everyone pretend to be Godly at the end of the day you will see this same people holding big time Positions in Occultism. Are you not in Ghana when an NDC MP stopped demolition of a Fuel Station ??? Accra lands are being sold to 9 to 10 people at the same time. A friend of mine had his own house that he is building sold to a third party without his knowledge !!!!!! Our Problem is Religion particularly **Christianity** its leaders are all occultist. Money and questionable wealth is what we worship today. Who gave the permit for the feeling Station to be built ?? Who goes round to check every week to make sure that safety is mentained ? As am speaking now all gutters and public roads have been sold without the knowledge of the Citizenery. When are we going to learn? We don't need IMF annd the white man to give us conditions before we can think. I have watched some of the Graphic videos circulating on what'sup instead of helping the dumb Ghanaian was taking videos. No President can change lives for us, if we don't change there's no way it will get better!!!!

CHANGES CAN BE MADE AND REGULATIONS IMPLEMENTED EVEN TO THE ONES THAT ARE OPERATIONAL. SO I AM CALLING ON THE INCOMING GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE GAS STATIONS. I KNOW MOST OF THEM WERE JUST BUILT WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS ETC BECAUSE THEY ARE MPs WHO OWN THEM. MOST OF THEM ARE ALSO BUILT IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS WHICH IS SO DANGEROUS. LIVES MATTER, NOT MONEY, SO PLEASE SAVE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE BY SETTING RULES AND REGULATIONS TO PROTECT THEIR INTEREST.

This what happens all the time. Proper safety procedures and regulations are overlooked because of kind close backs, bribery and corruption in our so-called government institutions. Where in the world do you find a filling station that has a pub and a barbecue stand feets from the gas station? Only in Ghana. Authorities have enforced the law. Akuffo Addo has a lot to clean if he desire Ghana to be an African strong force and the world at large.
