Increasing, it is becoming clearer that this man is becoming a Ghanaian. A foreigner who can meddle into our affairs like this, hmmmm! He should keep it up.

###AUTHOR: SAFOA -------- There were campaign T-shirts and scarves with Lordina's portraits . Even the campaign song onaapo had Lordina mentioned in it. On voting day people went looking for Lordina on the ballot to vote for her and once she was not on it they went back home without casting their vote. Lordina should contest the next election . Bogus campaign with bogus campaign managers

Only the naive will expect action from Akufo Addo to quell vigilantism. His modus operandus was clear when the turmoil was going on within the NPP. He seemed to cherish it.

Shame, you are now generalizing the issue because it is NPP. If it were NDC people you will attack them and even the President.

No matter which party does it, vigilantism is wrong and dangerous. This is new in Ghana's politics. The Delta and Invincible Forces are illegal, and as long as President Akufo-Addo and the NPP continue to tolerate the lawlessness, Foreigners like Mr Benjamin will continue to wonder and worry about Ghana.

When NDC groups were misbehaving in NR andd other regions we didn't even hear a word from JonBee so who should be complaining?NDC or NPP?The difference between NPP and NDC is that NPP doesn't condone crimes or misbehaviour by members.The NPP leadership has come out condemning all criminal activites and I wish NDC could do the same instead of making excuses for the criminals hiding in their ranks.

Jon we love you so much. We are all speaking out loudly to Nana to put a stop to any activities by foot soldiers claiming to be Vigilants. This is no acceptable in Ghana. Mahama allowed this foolish behaviour to foster and now the NPP too are coping this evil act.

Such is why it is always dangerous for Diplomats to extend their feelers into the political soup of their host Nation.

Perhaps somebody should tell Hon.Jon Benjamin that on the 24 September 1954 a group of Ashanti Vigilantes terrorised Kumasi and pelted the then British colonial Secretary"car [Alan Lennox-Boyd}.

A crap does not beget a bird...an African proverb that should tell Hon.Jon Benjamin that their descendants are doing the same thing 60 years later. Needless to say. Nana Akufo Addo"s ancestors were the perpetrators of what happened in 1954.

In a nutshell, the fish always stinks from the head downwards neither does a leopard changes its spots.

If any one wants to do any serious business in Ghana and one reads about this hooligans calling themselves vigilants surely this is enough to make any sensible business to think three times as to whether invest or not.

Former deputy Minister for Power, John Jinapor says he is ever ready to assist government in its quest to ensure due diligence in the power purchasing agreements signed by the erstwhile Mahama-led administration.
His comment comes after it emerged that the agreement signed with Africa and Middle East Resources Investment Group’s (AMERI Energy) on February 10 agreement signed in 2015 was over-priced by $150million.
This was revealed by a 17-member committee chaired by popular New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawyer, Philip Addison under the instructions of the Energy minister Boakye Agyarko.
The committee also advised government to re-negotiate the power deal with UAE-based AMERI energy.

Good advice as we know already. If Jon Benjamin wants to be President of Ghana, he should renounce his British citizenship and contest Presidential elections

If not he should do the work of a concerned diplomat and bring back to Ghana all the gold, diamonds and slaves Britain took for free.

He can also go to the shrines and play the scientific buffoonery and see what happens.

Point of correction the UK embassy doesn't go around marketing to applicants. its one's choice to apply and their mandate to refuse you visa. stop being bitter because a lot of you get visa and don't want to return.

The Akufo Addo administration should crackdown on all the vigilante groups with imprisonment with hard labour.
Shows we are not yet a democratic nation
