Alhaji Said Sinare, who is not a even a full blooded Ghanaian, did better in protecting Ghanaians in Saudi Arabia than Shirley Ayorkor Botwe is doing. I am giving this woman a week to summon the Saudi Ambassador to her office to come and explain what has been happening to Ghanaians in his country. I hope there is not going to be a repetition of the Gambia episode which happened under her watch as a deputy foreign affairs minister.

IT IS A FACT: DAGOMBAS ARE JIHADIST IN THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND NEVER WILING TO ACCOMODATE OR LIVE PEACEFULLY SIDE BY SIDE WITH OTHERS WHO ARE EITHER NOT FROM THEIR TRIBE OR MUSLIMS. According to their own history, they migrated from Songhai and waged wars beside the Fulbe, attacking indigenous African tribes and imposing their religion. An example is Konkomba, a tribe that founded Yendi but had to voluntarily vacate the area because the refused to convert. Dagombas want all Northern tribes toappoint a Muslim as a ruler. A good example is Gonjaland. With their allied Mamprusi, the ultimate goal to impose their will on all others. They indeed have a big dream and agenda. Otherwise how does our Vice President visit the region and meets only muslim rulers as Ramadan Tour? Dagombas are not interested in Ghana. They don't care about peace and security. They are only interested in spreading their religion, ruling over all the non-Muslim people in the North. Akufo Addo cannot go on a Christmas or Easter Tour of the North and visit only Christian Chiefs.

Naaba Martin, our worries & fears have nothing to do with the Dagombas. They have to do with the trend of vigelantism overtaking Ghana. 1st it was the Invicibles, then the Delta Force, followed by the Denkyiras & now the Kandarha Boys. Who next? Soldiers drowning someone in kvip? The storm is gathering & the morning will surely come if Law and Order is not enforced. By whom one may ask ?

"They have to do with the trend of vigilantism overtaking Ghana". I couldn't agree more. Does Akuffo Addo see a distinction between the lynching of Capt Mahama & activities of NPP thugs? Well! I don't.

Baam!!!It all borders on neocolonialism as Nkrumah talked about.The Arabs came as invaders into Africa and drove the black population that was in north Africa southwards, hemming them in.The Egyptian civilization was a black Nubian civilization.At the time the Egyptian black civilization was in progress, the white man and the Arabs were still primitive races.The Arabs started slavery before the white people came in with their evil Trans-Atlantic slave trade.But we do not blame these migrants.The blame should be laid at the doorsteps of the stooges who have ruled Africa after our so-called independence.Visionless leadership.

I will attribute the chronic underdevelopment of the north in general and their instutitions to these backwards attitudes. As a proud student of UDS I feel ashamed of this bad attitudes of northerners which has led to underdevt of northern institutions including UDS. Not sure where they got this from all HODs and staff should be northerners. I completed UDS early 2000, whilst there none of the campuses have a paved road,buldings very derelict etc. After 16 years nothing have changed in these settings due to the perceived notion of every staff shd be northerner. People can verify this with simple background checks of uds staff. Shame!

Dr Akanbong was a very effective leader who is able to stop revenue leakages by using technology. Those who could not steal any longer set upon him using smear campaigns and unsubstantiated allegations. It is very clear that Dr Akanbong was also targetted because he does not hail from Tamale and its environs. He comes from Sandema and the tribal bigots don't like that.
But we are very good at shooting ourselves in the foot. Dr Akanbong is a physician specialist who not only managed Tamale teaching hospital effectively but also trained other physicians through his teaching work at the University of Development Studies. He was indeed appointed by former President Mahama as CEO but the former president purely on merit; the only young Physician specialist from the North willing to work in the North at the time he was appointed.
His appointment met a lot of protest from day one because he did not belong to a preferred tribe. He has been faced with one false allegation after another since he was appointed. The precedence has been set by the NPP where competent doctors, who are just as qualified at any other health professional to manage our hospitals, who were previously excluded from partisan politics, are now being sacked on the basis of party loyalty and tribal affiliation. This is the beginning of the spell of doom for our health care delivery systems.
It is very disappointing to start sacking competent, sort after specialist skills such as medicine because of political expediency. I hope Akuffo Addo is able to stop this madness before it transcends into affecting the quality of care one receives is based on one's political colours.
The numbers are increasing; Korle Bu hospital, Ridge Hospital, Tamale Hospital. where next?
These Doctors have taken a hipprocatic oath but the action of government is making it difficult for them to uphold this oath.

Stop interfering in the appointment of medical and health personnel else we risk absolute chaos in our health care delivery systems. Who is more qualified to be a CEO of a healthcare institution than a senior healthcare professional?

5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.You can contact me on or whatsapp (+233547122212)

What is happening in this country? Why can't we dialogue over issues? The lawlessness is too much. Also CEOs shouldn't be replaced without dialogue. Let them finish their terms before bringing a new one.

Northers we know are Kayayo people when did they start having interest in 'white cola job'?? Their main occupations re Kayayo work and farming. Their next thing is to give birth to many children without sending them to school, most of them don't even know Accra. When did they know civilization? Yesterday or today??

Is Dr Akolbila not a Ghanaian. Do the know the number of Tamale people that occupied public offices in Volga and they are doing that. This is purely hypocrisy.

Why don't they request that all workers of the hospital be indigenes? This stupidity started during the Late Mills time when some idiots requested that they wanted a person from the North to head the UDS. This time I think the opposing group was right. The hospital was not built by Dagombas for Dagombas. It is a national property.

Was the hospital put up with dagomba money? Every qualified Ghanaian should be given the right to head a public institution regardless of its location in the country. Stupidity

It has not been easy for people to accept posting to the North and look at what you are doing.

THE GOVERNMENT MUST BE VERY, VERY ALERT. NDC IS PLAYING EVERY FOUL MEANS TO SUBVERT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT. NDC IS JUST UNSETTLED IN OPPOSITION AND THE WELL-THINKING GHANAIANS CAN NEVER BE WOED BY THIS 'PULL HIM DOWN' TACTICS. INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING OBJECTIVE IN OPPOSITION NDC IS PULLING THE WHOLE NATION DOWN TO PAVE WAY INTO POWER. NDC WILL NEVER COME BACK WITH THIS ATTITUDE.
