What an idiot! Can you read? Edward Akufo was just a ceremonial president. He had no control over anything.

From those humble beginnings, he gained a double first at Oxford University in the 1930s and then went on to study law and qualify in the law courts of England. He returned to Ghana in the 1940s and established one of the most successful law practices in country.

You can't even write proper English, You come here and insult people you have no clue about.

Obviously, if your father had done anything worthwhile in his life, his offspring would not write this kind of garbage!

No wonder they made Ghana poor in the 2 Republic.

I can't write English like the Queen and a goat like you, but the sickening truth is, you can not even think through what you write.

I don't live on ,my father's image. I create my own path.

I feel sorry for a fool like you who refuses to learn and think you can assume who I am.

I can also share the great sufferings of my family but that would not inspire kids. They've heard it all from their teachers.
Your midget President should stop rewriting history, his father was from a rich aristocratic home.

Do you see any use of the current Council of State? It is anomalous, but that is what Akufo-Addo inherited and that is what he has to go by.

Just because someone was successful and wealthy you assume automatically that "he stole" Ghana as your warped thinking determines.

With all these unending line of words you put out there suggests that you're trying to spin the words of the finance minister into a different direction. He made it clear that the free education program is going to begin in the fall season with the first year students and continue from there. The administration knows what they intend to achieve by these steps, and one of them is to avoid the propaganda that will be spread by you same opposition elements in terms of achievement. So they're starting it with beginners in order to ascertain the difference between The kids Who had the burden of fee paying and how that affected their studies and these ones with no burden financially, how their performance would be, because some of these children have to go and sell for their parents or to engage in some sort of activities to be able to meet their financial obligations. And these things hinders their studies in diverse ways. So the issue of a kid skipping classes with the excuse that my parents can't pay my school fees or my exams fee will be a thing of the past. Now considering the tax free spare parts you people are taking about, Some taxes cause a chain of reaction on the pricing of a commodity and put a burden on the consumers and l'm giving these literal accessment so that the reader will understand what l am trying to say without quoting any financial terms. And this explains why in some countries like Benin they have adopted to the free port system to make sure that transportation doesn't always suffer going through surging petroleum prices and other tariffs which at end of the day affects the entire pricing of every commodity in the market and the cost of living in general. One of the reasons why the NDC failed is that, they mingled economic facts and political facts together and never seemed to care about the impact on the life of the average Ghanaian. For instance the NDC was so obsessed with clinging on to power and never cared about what happens to the economy, even if destroying the business predominantly held by the opposition party's sympathizers will ruin the economy of our country was never one of their concerns. This also explains why they try to build all the four markets at the Kumasi central district simultaneously without even considered what impact the disruption of these business activities will have on the economy of the nation. This was also the reason why they failed to tackle the spare parts skyrocketing taxes issues, since the spare parts business is held predominantly by the opposition party sympathizers, in their illusionary economic principles was to crush the spare parts businesses to hamper the financing of the NPP. How can you build a nation with that formidable economic prospect on this footing?.

And Nana ended up with 3rd class in Economics at Legon. You see that he does not know that industries are established based on certain economic factors. But with a 3rd class and not properly understanding the economics theories, he thinks industries can be set up based on political fiats, hence his ill-fated 1 district 1 factory.

Socrates Onyame betua woka and the your generation,you will never have peace on earth neither after death. Socrates your disrespect, hate and envy will be a huge burden on your head. Unfortunately your ndc party has no legacy whatsoever in the history of our country for the future leaders to relent to. Ndc will never come back to power to breed thieves,liars and disrespectful future leaders. We the people if Ghana thank God for closing the chapter of ndc in our history and a new page of progress and prosperity opened. My prayer to God is to punish all nation wreckers and anti-Ghana elements who come on social media to express their hate and jealousy of the nation Ghana, all those who seek the destruction of this nation must also be destroyed by God. They should taste what they wished for others and never should such people with that wicked hate come back to this world after death. Ndc IS SATANIC and must be exorcize from our system. Whether you like it or not the Akufos have made history in Ghana and you hate them because your family name can never attain that greatness in this world. Ashe mo de3, mo besu ara awu! America thrive on the history of their forebears to move on their everyday lives,they go back for amendments made by their forebears for their freedom and Ghana has a great history also to go back for to move our country to greatness. I thank God for the life of the President of the republic and Ebenezer this is where God has brought us. We give thanksgiving to the most high God for his special love for our country by snatching this our dear nation from the jaws of monsters, nation wreckers and enemies of Ghana. Socrates you can say whatever but will never change the minds of the good people of Ghana who voted massively to send you away. You will stay in opposition till thy kingdom come hahahahaha! and anyway nobody by your real family name will ever be president of this nation mark it on the wall. Hahahahahaha ! God knows who he has blessed and those he has cursed. Be in your primitive and hateful self to the end who cares?

You're are the most pitiable man on earth. You simply can't come to terms with the fact that Nana Addo is the President of Ghana for the next 46 months. And he may continue for another 48 months. You can continue saying the worst lies against him, he still remains our President. You people did the same thing during the electioneering campaign and Nana still won the elections with an unprecedented large margin. In the same way, by God's grace he'll perform very well and bring smiles unto the faces of Ghanaians again. I said I pity you simply because the way you hate him, you run the major risk of dying from heart attack pretty soon. Envy, hatred, bitterness and bearing false witness against someone are very dangerous traits to have. Even just one of these vices is dangerous on its own. Meanwhile you're combining all of them - very dangerous. May the Good Lord help you overcome these dangerous traits.

Your father was lucky he had relatives to borrow from. Just ask Akwasi Amankwah of Tapa Abotoase, and Kofi Brobbey and Kwadwo Mpiani of Jamasi, if their fathers had any relatives to borrow from. Lucky you Mr. President.

From where i stand the current president is a true socialist despite being a capitalist per ideology.When you see somebody for sympathy and empathy for fellow mankind,you see it in his actions by virtue of dedication to service to mankind.The past NDC government claim to be social democrats but everything pointed to a callous,heartless and corrupt government who only used the ordinary citizenry to enrich themselves and immediate family.JDM had a very good chance to prove he was indeed a socialist who stood for the poor and marginalized but he chose to engage in the same criminal tendencies as his father that made him one of the most unpopular politicians in northern Ghana.There is a mark difference between believe in ideology and practice of ideology but the massive corruption and looting under the Mahama Government was stark reality to a socialist ideology and concept helped by fake characters pretending to be pan-africanists and socialists.I can define Akuffo Addo in 4 words;a pan-africanist,a patriot,an incorruptible and nationalistic citizen who puts country before personal interest.The hallmark of good leadership is people who live by example and inspire others.The simply of the occasion was marked by the simple dressing of the president with an emphatic,resounding speech that suggested seriousness and urgency of responsibilty beyond beyond reckless effrontery,oligarchy and open display of opulence with impunity.What is even more heartwarming is the positive reassurance of rule of law in the midst of citizens right which was flaunted with gusto by so-called political players who are nothing more than mere nonentities with an obvious intellectual handicap by way of resoning and knowledge.I have made the argument that JDM wanted to create his own power base but made a grievous mistake of relying on intellectually myopic band of marauding opportunist and sycophants as praise singers who could not even do a situational analysis that NDC will lose the election by a very wide margin per the facts on the ground.They resorted to mud-slugging ,slandering,oppression and sabotage, targeting persons perceived to be loyal to the founder JJ Rawlings because the former president ingeniously and incredibly believe in his own ability made possible by enemies very close to him as praise singers for reward.The hallmark of a good government is to provide security and protection for vulnerable citizens.The reason why the likes of Martin Amidu and other less prominent citizens who aggressively pursuit cases in the high court was because of the government own posture of flaunting the rule of law and abusing the fundamental rights of others who did not have power and money.Money and power because the John Mahama Government shamelessly and disgracefully apllied executive powers to stiffle cases in the supreme and high court in the interest of corrrupt public and government officials without due recourse to innocent,defenseless citizens who suffered various infringement and abuse of their fundamental rights.It is amazing that the NPP with a capitalist ideology will be schooling the NDC on social equality and justice.My prediction is that the NDC is likely to stay in opposition not less than 12 years because i am seeing a situation where a government from the capitalist block is implementing social policies that is truely people centered.One thing the Akuffo Addo Government have to do to have total reassurance of the ordinary citizenry is to review all cases in the high and supreme courts callously suppressed by the previous regime bothering on autocracy,naked abuse of power and flagrant abuse of the fundamental rights of defenseless citizens to truly prove we are free of the shackles of corruption,oppression and abuse by powers that be.A serious sovereign country is defined by the rule of law and application of same not just the mere declaration of democracy defined by partisan political elections.For instance what is the point in talking about democracy where heads in public institutions engage in all manner of corrutpion and illigalities including unlawful dismissals knowing they are untouchable before the law per their powerful political links and money that ensure they are protected much to the detriment of victims of abuse.

Ghanaian politics has become the accolade of pull him down,Phd.What is the essence of this elliterate philosophy of destroying your nieghbour and take his position which will be extremely difficult for you to reach there.Please we should stop this hate and fake imformation about the president and rather join together to offer your quota for the development of the Nation.We are not in electioneering campaign trail,so we must allow the president to have a piece of mind to find solutions to the many deveopmental problems facing the country.
