ATTAMILLS AND BETTYMOULD ARE GHANA'S NEMESIS AFTER THEY LOOTED THE COUNTRY OF OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN FAKE JDEBTS AND THAT WAS WHEN I SAW THAT GHANA HAS NO FUTURE IN OUR POLITICIANS....THIS IS NOT THE NDC JJ BUILT.
One Leader who some NPP supporters refer to him as being a 'high profile' is rather the cause of our under developmentbecause of his 'high profile thievery'.
This Leader is no other person than the ex-pepsodent Kuffuor Agy ...

"...this person who voted against free SHS comes to me asking for help pay for his son's SHS fees for the term."
You forgot to add the water rationing and the "dum sor dum sor".
Thank you so much, Mr./Ms Be Bold.
The root cause of Ghana endemic problems can be traced to bad leadership. For this country to reclaim its rightful position in the international system, it must do something about its bad leaders.
what was the guarantee that if we had voted for Akuffo Addo, we will get free SHS, from where?It;s all political gimmick to win elections, period.
The beauty of democracy is that you can kick gimmick out when the time comes. You can't say it is a gimmick if you never gave the man the chance to prove it. Pakus you did not make an intelligent stamtement. The taxi driver i ...

You are right ..sir
Nothing he says here is new. These are the sort of people that just sit back, talk and do nothing to help their country develop.
Are you a politician? Just asking.
The man is just an ordinary Ghanaian voicing his opinion and what exactly do you expect him to do?
Our leaders know the problems facing the nation yet, they ignore them when given the mandate to rule.
Man don't sit there on the roof top in the UK and just write.If you have ideas come home and help steer the affairs. Too many times we just sit outside and condemn, that is unfair. Return home, Mr UK.
Huh discuzzant, what is unfair about what the author of this article has written? Listen, even if the author of this article has any ideas, you lots will never give him/her the opportunity. Probably, you lots deserve what you ...

Only Gaddafi cared of his nation, Zuma ia a rapist, As for Mahama , I have no idea what's his plans for the nation. But in all we Africans are all semi humans. I don't mean to disrespect God but we lack intelligence
"But in all we Africans are all semi humans."
I disagree with you we are not sub humans, we are intelligent and as the author of this article asserts, some of us rather lack wisdom.
Forget it my friend! Once you leave Ghana for a longer period, there is no return home. Your brothers wikll concider you as an "Obroni" and a milking cow. Even tomatos on the market will be increased (..only for you!) Ghanaia ...

K. Badu, you have trumpeted the truth about our politicians. The electorate is as guilty as the politician. Look at the voting patterns in VR and Ash region and other parts of the country. In VR people vote 100% NDC and in As ...

Line 5 should have read " . . . parties think that political leadership is the preserve of a PARTICULAR tribe or tribes".
to the point. thanks brol

I will never stop saying that "it is a travesty" for blacks to rule themselves. Those who think we can rule ourselves are nothing but thieves.
Look at our constitution. There is a clause that states that the president shou ...

Sorry folks, I meant ...As long as NDC and NPP supporters..
Misdiagnosis!
The problem is NOT the politicians; the problem is the people.
The politicians are not from Mars, they are from amongst the people;
The politicians were born and bred amongst the people!
Barimah Badu, mmo ne ka! you have said it all. About 80% of Africans lack empathetic qualities and attributes. "They are hungry, my family and I guts are full; that is what is important! Let the have-nots go to hell.
"The problem is NOT the politicians; the problem is the people."
WHY? COME AGAIN BECAUSE YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE.
What is so difficult to understand what "the truth" is saying? Goooosh we have a lot of unintelligent people here.
"In all honesty, I am reluctant to admit the apocalypse of the politicians lacklustre performances, but the true picture is that, Ghana for instance, may not see any meaningful development, so long as we have Leaders that are ...

Yes, positive thinking is the way forward,however, the onus is largely on the leadership to deliver. We definitely need an attitudinal change, if we indeed want to develop our country- Ghana.
All Ghanaians who have voted for past governments are all fools.
You are the ones who voted in fools.
FOOLS FOOLS FOOLS - you are all fools.
Too harsh; what exactly do you want the electorates, you preferred to call "fools" to do? Not to vote any government into power at all? Honestly, your thought process is too clumsy.
when can we look forward to the future with hope?

The leaders behave the way they behave because Ghanaians, and Africans are quiet. They are quiet partly because they, or majority, feel that they must give everything to God in prayers and God will solve it for them. But God ...
