Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”,

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

Samia campaigned on issues that no politician in Ghana today is willing to touch! According to the polls by the pro-GMO lobby in Ghana, 80% of Ghanaians do not want to eat any GM food! Yet not a single politician in the opposition is speaking on behalf of Ghanaians!

Ephson has to know that it is not Samia's fault for being the daughter of Kwame Nkrumah. And she has demonstrated leadership and courage, and integrity in her own right! Even Nana Akufo-Addo is in bed with Mahama over the question of GMO imposition on Ghanaians!

This alone makes her stand tall among all the castrated men parading as politicians today! Samia's speech at the CPP Presidential Aspirant Debate, 26th January, 2016 says it all:

"There is a serious threat facing our nation and I want us to sit up and resist it. As we speak now, we are currently under threat from the release of genetically modified seeds and food into our soil and food chain.

Our Party is the only party that has resisted this imposition together with 51 organisations in this country who have petitioned Parliament not to pass the bill that will facilitate this.

I beg you, every Ghanaian who eats should rise up against this bill that will consign our nation to further dependency on the importation of seeds rather than help us renew our silos, or renovate them and control the seeds we have in this country".

Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

Samia Nkrumah needs to change her political strategy. She needs to use the Ghanaian politically corrupt system to gain power. Then she can bring about the changes she desires. Otherwise, she can forget her ambition.

the only thing that makes significance in Ghana's election is stealing of votes, stealing of money and bribery, then tribalism. you should have advised samia to use NDC tactics.the evil tactics

DEAR BEN EPHSON AND THE READING PUBLIC OF GHANAWEB.COM,

THIS IS TO FIRSTLY INTRODUCED MYSELF TO YOU AGAIN AND TO RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT I WAS AT KANDA AT THE TIME I WAS WORKING AT THE CASTLE-OSU AND I KNEW YOU VERY WELL WITH THE LATE "OTI" YOUR THEN FRIEND.
THAT I NEED NOBODY TO TELL AGAIN OF YOUR POLITICAL LINEAGE AND HOW IT WAS ORCHESTRATED AND PLAYED AGAINST THE FOUNDER OF NDC H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS AND HIS DEAR WIFE HON. NANA KONADU AGYEMAN-RAWLINGS AND EVEN DR.ZENATOR RAWLINGS.
THAT IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE SAID ABOUT IT AT ALL THEN THE LAST RALLY OF NPP DURING THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL/PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS AT THE AFUA SUTHERLAND PARK WHEN IT WAS SAID OPENLY THAT "THE NPP INTELLIGENCE MACHINERY SET AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND THE WIFE HAD WORKED TO HELP SPLIT THE RANKS AND FILE OF THE NDC.
THAT I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT THE FORMER FIRST FAMILY FOLLOWED THE TREND OF EVENTS?
THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IF HON. SAMIA YABA CHRISTINE NKRUMAH PROTECTING THE LATE FATHER LEGACY THAT BEFITS THE 21ST CENTURY WORLD.
THIS IS BECAUSE THE CONCEPT OF "CHANGE AND SOCIAL CHANGE" ARE DYNAMICS IN FORM AND STRUCTURE THAT NO SOCIETY OR PERSON IS IMMUNED TO CHANGE SINCE DYNAMICS FUNCTIONS IS SOCIETY ITSELF.
THAT EVEN RUSSIA HERSELF UNDERGOING BOTH POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REFORMS INCLUDING RELIGIOUS REFORM, THERETO.
THAT RELIGION TODAY IN RUSSIA IS NO LONGER SEEN AS "AN OPION OF THE MIND" BUT AS THAT WHICH TOUCHES AND CONCERNS "FAITH AND HOPE FOR SALVATION" AND THEREFORE THE CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX CHURCHES AND OTHER RELIGIOUS FAITHS ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY ALLOWED IN RUSSIA BASE UPON THE PRESUMPTIONS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
THAT HON. SAMIA NKRUMAH CAN FOLLOW SAME AND TO HELP TO EFFECT CHANGES, THERETO.
THAT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA NEED WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT THAN ALWAYS DISCOURAGING PEOPLE TO STAND AND TOGETHER TO HELP PROMOTE THE QUALITY GOOD OF THE PEOPLE.
HON. SAMIA NKRUMAH NEVER GIVE UP BUT WORK TOWARDS UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND TOGETHER THINGS CAN HAPPEN.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA, AMERICA AND UNITED NATIONS.
VERY TRULY YOURS,

Ephson appears to be confusing two things: 1) the influence of Nkrumah's name and ideology and 2) whether his daughter (and the CPP) can ride that name and ideology to victory.

Nkrumah's name and influence has not waned. It is still strong. If anyone did a poll now on our past leaders, Nkrumah will rank very high in approval.

The above does not mean that a daughter of Nkrumah or a party such as the CPP can merely ride on that name to power.

It will take a lot more than the name and ideology. The failure of the CPP is its inability to defend its time in office under Nkrumah and making "Nkrumaism" a relevant and appealing ideology to today's Ghana. That failure is that of the CPP and Samia, and not an indication of the falling influence of Nkrumah.

Come back home to your heartfelt CPP.

You don't know what you are talking about. Gbedemah was expelled from the CPP by Osagyefo and he went on exile untill Osagyefo was overthrown before he came back to Ghana. But who told you Rawlings mother was a prominent cppist? How many ewes were ministers in Osagyefo's government? I just want to know, can you mention names? Because I know he had a hand full of the northerners but I don't know of the ewes after he fired Gbedema. Some times its laughable and sad when people don't know the man Osagyefo and they talk like they were in bed with him. I tell you if he were to be alive and president most of you would have been in exile and detention. Osagyefo would never have tolerated this bunch of thieves in the ndc. I feel sad for the sideline of the Gas by this ndc because they voted massively for the ndc but I'm not surprised because our people the Gas are not thieves but loyal to their country and ndc detest people who are not thieves and love Ghana.

Ben Ephson you are a fool. You can't breath because of your weight and its all because of people like you who have used Osagyefo's name in the ndc to get your daily bread. You are now talking against the man who has made you what you are, ungrateful souls. Such people are the cause of the down fall of this country, people like Ben Ephson and Kwesi Pratt sold Gold Coast to the white people for whisky, Champaign, beer, butter and treats. These were the same people who betrayed Osagyefo and then turned around to blame others. They sing praises where their bread is buttered and betray you for a bigger bidding. This should be a lesson to Samia and to know that all that she heard about his fathers perceived enemies were not true but rather his fathers enemies were within. Look at how Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings is being treated in her own father's party even when her father is alive? It has come to the public that all those court actions are within the ndc party, but later some fools in the ndc will be spreading the lies that it is the npp which is making the lady uncomfortable where as its within the ndc, these are the agents of satan Ghana is dealing with. Samia , take heart and just watch to see your fathers real enemies unfold.

I agree with you if you say SAMIA cannot use Nkrumahs name to win election in Ghana, But I disagree if you say Nkrumahs time is past.
Nkrumahs Ideology is rooted deep in the X....Young Pioneers who are scattered all over Ghana. Working positively as patriotic citizens behind the scene.
Nkrumah trained us to be ever ready in the course of Ghana and Africa. He did not trained us to be ever ready in the course of CPP, so we are alive and putting Ghana first in the service of the nation.His children did not have the training the X,,, YOUNG PIONEERS had. They are very committed patriotic citizens.

The enemies of socialism and absurdity is that they claim that socialism has outlived its value but they continue to use the products of socialism. Let us compare India and China both which got independent at the same time. China through the long march against capitalism lead by Mao Tse Tong. On the social sector China which took a socialist road of development has done away with the caste system and hunger, which evils still exist in India which took capitalist road of development.
Whiles China a socialist country borrow money to most capitalist states, India on the other hand rather receives grants and donations from them. Whiles even the U.S. has not been able to do away with the worse form of discrimination including racial discrimination China has eliminated all forms of discrimination.
I do not like why some people still tell us that the capitalist market place is where we should be when the negative results of our many years of been it that market are there for all to see.
The market economy economists were unable to even run our state enterprises which were already in operation and were not new factories that are been set up.

Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's time must seem to some as past,but His legacy and some of His achievement for Mother Ghana are still very relevant to the Nation as a whole.Our first President failure is simple He did not nature for his SUCCESSOR,just because he was then focusing on uniting and lebrating all African countries from the Neon Colonialism, and since we 're not practicing a Dynasty System but a democracy Dr. Nkrumah's children should know that very well.
