What Ghanaians and Africans need to know “Beware of the NPP”

Walton Edison developed the Electric bulb, and Isaac Newton discovered the laws of gravity .Albeit Einstein then discovered the laws of Relativity. We can add that the NPP discovered the laws of divisionism (ma te me ho) Unlike the other discoveries that have added value to the lifestyle of Human kind , that of the later NPP subtracts. The simple truth is I have come to the conclusion that the NPP is a bunch of destroyers in spite of the ignorance they display. You see when you read through their postings , Ghanaians need to be careful of its members. They will destroy Ghana the same way George Bush destroyed the USA and most of the world . You all know Al Qaeda was not in Iraq but USA went to war in Iraq chasing a non existent weapons of mass destruction .Now could that have solved the problem of the menace of Al Qaeda ?So we all got fooled . That is the NPP . They are bent on fooling the country. Every posting of theirs is about tribe or Rawlings. How do these solve our problems of job creation, lawlessness, homelessness, illiteracy , health care system and the” paradise” they left in the form of Sodom & Gomorrah and its kind all over the country?

I know their chief spokesman on the web will be after me calling me “ pea brain” But that is Ok . He stays in Dallas with their mentor George Bush who lives an affluent life while the rest of us wallow in poverty struggling for a meal . How do their attacks on and insults of Prez Mills and the Ministers solve our problem of poverty, ignorance, homelessness, poor health facilities ? They slam Prez Mills every day Sure that is politics but the simple question we should all bear in mind and keep asking is “ Where is the paradise “ the NPP created in the 8 years in office? Do we call the clogged gutters, congested roads filled with shoe shine boys and dog chain sellersg an employment paradise ? Do we call living in areas like Sodom & Gomorrah, as paradise? Do we call inability to pay teachers , doctors and civil servants for 3 months at a time paradise? Is paradise a country that has become a drug haven , with pupils getting 0 % pass for 8 years ? We failed and failed miserably , so why do we not just keep quiet? Has Chorkor or Bukom changed? How many of these slums are not repeated all over the country Is it realistic now to expect a miracle in a year from the new government?

Let us look at it this way . Wofa dies and has a big loan on his farm which you have inherited . How do you make money unless you pay the loan first? Worse still the loan was not taken to expand the farm or buy machinery but to have a party and run after women . That is what has happened in Ghana. Now they do not even want the culprits to be punished but then fault Uncle Atta Mills for having accepted the conditions of the Breton Woods Institutions. So the price of rice has gone up and petrol price is up . The question is had they borrowed the money for food production and paying off the debts of TOR would we not be in a better shape. ? What factories have they built for import substitution in the 8 years ? why are school kids going to school under trees ? Why do we have to go abroad for health care , using the scarce foreign exchange we have? Our Finance Minister died in a South African Hospital, the former minister of agriculture and health has just died in an Israeli hospital. As I write the President of Nigeria is in hospital in Saudi Arabia, and the President of Guinea in Morocco. Why not in Ghana? So what are we boasting about?

A whole lot of the writers reside in the US and call some Ghanaians “Aliens” or “foreigners” These foreigners at least know where they came from . Some of the people making the noise historically came from “ caves” , wherever that empire is supposed to be. I call them blind because the US is headed by an “immigrant” whose wife is also an “ immigrant” and the whole government is run by “ immigrants” from England, Ireland, Italy, France. There is not a single Native American in the government. That is what I call blindness. Why do you not look around you and take note? Just read a book entitled “ The Millionaire next door” . So you yourselves are “ immigrants” or should I say “ aliens” where you reside and you are busy insulting “ aliens” in your country of origin? Why are you not staying at home? Why do you not stay in the” paradise” that has been created? Is that not double standard?

Use what you got to get what you need. Being the good story tellers they are , the NPP can take a leaf from the Nigerians, They write books, making money and the stories they tell have created Nollywood .They claim they are entrepreneurs and work hard so let them come with the enterprises and capital to change maame Ghana . Let them stop confusing social welfare with social responsibility, budget deficit with wealth . The USA is an indebted nation , it created its wealth when it had a surplus using your grandfathers and mothers as slaves . To calculate your wealth you have to take your assets and subtract your liabilities before arriving at your Net worth . That is what some of us have been asking. What is Ghana’s net worth after the 8 years of NPP government?. Where are the assets and let us match that with the liabilities to see how you grew the NET worth of Ghana

New Patriotic Party or Narcotics Peddlers party . There is nothing new in your thinking, nor patriotism . You are a chip of the old block of the illiterate who founded your party , Baffour Yaw Akoto . He did not like the idea of people following a well educated person like Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and sought to create mayhem with bombs and assassination attempts , fear and rumors, now you hate people to follow Professor Mills. He used violence and lies to curb dissent and freedom of association, and you are doing the same. You have split Ghana, along tribes and classes Any time some one opposes you then he/she is Ewe which is NDC . Your thinking is too simplistic . With such thinking how do you expect to solve the complex problems facing Ghana and Africa? Is it any wonder you failed? How do you tell the world you are civilized when adults, MPs., ex cabinet Ministers behave like Hooligans at the BNI offices?

Prez Mills has three years left of the mandate given him by Ghanaians. Allow him space to get on with sorting out the mess you left behind. That is why the Ghanaian populace gave you the “ Boot’ please do not repeat what you did with Dr Nkrumah using violence and bombs. Why are you resisting so much and why the panic? Are you afraid he will succeed? How can “ patriots” resist the success of their own country? . The Ghanaian success will lead to African UNITY Let peace REIGN
