Action Movement of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the former first lady, Lordina Mahama and the siblings of former President John Mahama of being the cause of NDC defeat in the 2016 elections. The spokesperson of the group, Kodzo Hamenya Keglo speaking at the Ghana International Press Centre said “while JM was preaching made in Ghana goods (such as shoes, batik and locally made clothes), the wife was doing the opposite by printing T Shirts from China which is a huge disappointment for Ghanaian printing companies.The 20 million pieces of T Shirts JM’s wife printed from China, could have been shared to party members to print them locally and would have created a lot of jobs for Ghanaians.”
JM’s brothers are the main reason why we lost the 2016 elections, collecting all contracts from Airport, Roads, Cocoa Board, GNPC, ECG , VRA, Ministry of Power and all major contracts in the country.“If you don’t see JM brothers, you cannot get a contract and if you see them, then you have to pay money before you get the contract, frustrating foreign contractors and companies by taking Ghanaian contractors for granted and creating enemies for the NDC party,”

No wonder Ghanaian Soldiers maltreats Ghanaians. That's the only thing they understand. You think Akufu Addo will bring you jobs. You will continue to wallow in your own cesspool. Why burn Ghanaian owned Company equipment. The white owned ones are guarded by GH Soldiers, who will not hesitate to put a bullet thru your Kayaye ass.

WE Need Our Farms, Lands, River, Streams, Fish to be restored Once Again. Nature designed our landscape perfectly and created a balance so surreal that has sustained our great grandfathers, grandfathers, fathers until now. So More POWER TO THE YOUTH!!!DESTROY MORE GALAMSEY MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT. I AM CERTAIN The Ghanaian owner of this Mining Concern, is in Partnership with Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, Pakistanis, Europeans etc who together have NO STAKE in GHANA's Future. The only Interest these bastards Share is that of GROSS EXPLOITATION AND AND DESTRUCTION OF OUR RIVERS, LANDS, FARMS, TO EXTRACT GOLD. These people have NO CONSCIENCE!!They go to China to Recruit Chinese to come to The Land of OUR Fathers, to Destroy What GOD ALMIGHTY HAS GIFTED GHANA...ALL IN THE NAME OF GALAMSEY. THE Chiefs, politicians , NPP and NDC are All Guilty of THIS HEINOUS CRIME.NANA, do not stop the yoth from Destroying all Galamsey Equipment. Seems like your soldiers, police etc are all corrupt and willing to take bribe and pass on Information to these Galamsey Operators... WE Need More Youth who Are Not Afraid To Die For Mother GHana. SO when they Approach these Galamsey Operators, they should come in thier hundreds. Yes, some will die for GHANA but it will be WOrth the Death....
LONG LIVE GHANA
DEATH TO GALAMSEY
NO TO GALAMSEY
NO TO CORRUPT CHIEFS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SUPPORTING AND ENABLING GALAMSEY
MAY ALLAH SUBHANA WATALLAH/GOD BLESS GHANA
