President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana. MAHAMA, WHERE IS THE MONEY? OUR KIDS HAVE NO EDUCATION. HOW SISTERS, MOTHERS N CHILDREN HAVE NO HOSPITALS.
LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE? NO FACTORIES, NO JOBS, NO WATER....

JE-RU-SALEM:

The name demonstrates three wording. The last was the name of the place before Abraham would moved from Iran the country of his parents to Canaan, the original place of the black race(Salem).

The middle name speaks for itself "rule". And the first is Jesus Christ. Putting it together, we get Jesus_rule_salem.

We are reading from a book which was originated and inspired by the Master Author the Lord God, who is Jesus Christ. Some of those who are quoting and learning from this book call bible are wearing the titles of the master author. What is that? plagerism or blaspheming. Your were just a student trying to wear the rope of the original author.

This is so disrespectful, a high school pupil in USA will say.

The author shot himself in his own foot when he noticed stability was key for development and after Ghana had collapsed before JJ Rawlings took over, we had stability for economic growth and development during JJ'S reign.

The stability was to be taken up the ladder by Kuffuor's Govt but missed the opportunity and rather created an economy of armed robbers, Cocaine pushers and corrupt officials which took Ghana back to the dark days again but luckily for the Negrians and other investors who relocated to ghana, economic growth shot up.

To most Ghanaians and what I personally see it, had JJ Rawlings not come on the scene to change things around, Ghana would have worse than Somailia.

JJ Rawlings still is the Best Leader soo far.

It was JJ Rawlings time that for the first time, the industrial sector increased in percentage from 15-35%.

Agriculture which was very poor then also shot on the scale. The only factor which wasn't favourable was investment since the young democracy had been tested yet and Europe and America were uncertain even after the his government did a tour of the world to invest in Ghana. Assurance and confidence gradually grew when power was transfered to Kuffuor, but Kuffuor only came to do business for himself alone.

JJ still reign supreme.

JJ Rawlings put Ghana on right footing for development. In his reign, economic growth was below zero. His mobilization of Students to carry cocoa to the ports, building of rails, roads etc set Ghana to recover from the poor economic growth even though a military govt under PNDC we still had some FDI's.

I am a young man of studying in a foreign institution to enhance my future employment prospects.And as I am concern, Ghana has never had a great leader,if you talk about great leaders then you cant look further than the Lee kwan Yus' and and other contemporary Asian leaders. Nkrumah was handed a promising entity and made it worst than he found it. The rest did nothing remarkable besides self aggrandizements. Our self governance has been a heartbreak and nothing to show for it. You have to travel outside Africa to see the difference. I am glad I caught the boat out to avoid the harm being inflicted on our people with a blindfold.

if you consider J.J Rawlings as the greatest leader in Ghana history, then, tell me just one project Rawlings instituted in the country, apart from the National Theatre, he built to allow monkeys to play tricks there, what els, did he do in his 19 good years in power, I tell you if Osagyefo Nkrumah had had that years, my brother you would have been real sombody in Ghana now. Just lift up your eyes and see, the Tema Motoway, Tema Township, with its numerous factories, Tema harbour, Fishing Harbour, Akosombo Dam, Adomi Bridge, Meridian Hotel, Tema Oil Refinery, Kumasi Jute factory, Tamala Meat factory, Wenchi Tomantos Factory which was sold by Busia, Nsawam Cannery taken by Rawlings and his family, Akasanoma Radio, Sanyo TV, and many more factories Osagyefo built in the country, Komenda sugar factory, Asutuare sugar factory, Kade matches fsctory, Bonsa tyre factory, Kumasi shoe factory, crocodie matchet factory, Saltpond ceramic factoy which produces washing basin and WC´s. and many roads, Accra to mankessim, this coastal road was constructed by Osagyefo Dr. Visionary Nkrumah, tell me did J.J had these vision?, apart from Bullying and killing of innocet Ghanaians who even borrowed just 50 cedis from Bank, and mistook him to be a corrupt person in the government and shot him dead. stop there my friend, thats why Ghana is doom now, becaus there´s no any THINKABLE leader at the moment apart from Osagyefo Dr. Kwame obadwemba visionary Nkrumah.

A good leader will be truthful and uphold the rule of law. Any leader who shun these two principles in governance, is not worth a pinch of salt.

Nkrumah, our first leader, came into office with the much needed money to lay a solid foundation to stand the test of time but he was too arrogant and turned his eyes trying vainly to unite Africa at time he knew was impossible.

JJ is a terrorist. Those around him pushed him to kill, maim and exact ruthless toll on the innocent. People loved him just because of his color but governance, he is nothing more than a waste of space.

Kufuor did pretty good but in the end, he allowed his selfish end to lead him by awarding himself medal that tarnished his image.

Mills was the worse among the lot because he was a puppet to some people and that led to his sudden demise.

Mahama will be graded later.

Limann failed because he was being dictated to by those who put him on the throne.

Busia's rule was cut short else despite what others say about him, he will be best because he understands what democracy means.

Those in the uniform has no mark because I hate the military we have in Ghana. The British should have dissolved it after the second world. Look at their budget. It makes no sense for a small nation like Ghana to have a standing army like the one we have. They are just a drain on our resources.

A leader will be judged "Great" if that leader uphold TRUTH AND THE RULE OF LAW anything short than that is abysmal failure and none of our leaders come close to that.

Dr. K. A. Busia and J. A. Kuffour're the greatest leaders in Ghana so far. There's no doubt about that, because Kwame Nkrumah was a despot and tyrant; he send innocent citizens esp. political opponents to prison, tortured them to death and started the way to communism when he'd mismanaged Ghana's economy. He seemed to have started on a bright note with his inspirational speeches but in the end, he flopped!

He bought a wasted desert land in Egypt with our money. By the way JJ tried to get the money back and the Egyptians refused to pay.
Let us inquire about a guy called Aka Blay Miesah. How ha had so much money? That was Nkrumah's money. He opened an account in Britain with Blay Miesah's name.
There was another guy called Kofi DJaba, he hid the money through him also. JJ tried to reclaimed the money but he couldn't thus why they went into exile and Blay Miesah died under house arrest .
So if I say we should move forward, it is rightly so because there hasn't been a great leader in the COUNTRY. The great leader is yet to come. We have a past and it has been a corrupt past, we need to put it to rest and move forward. Our past will never shape out our present nor our future.
We must not even go back to visit it.

Vicky, please provide Ghanaians with facts and tangible points to your responses. It's obvious you are still young and have not had the time to research your facts...........This is not just about surfing the net, you know..........

And it's a shame that your insults clearly shows which side of the divide you belong. Please respond to articles with positive contributions because insults does not help.

Please don't just join the bandwagon of the ungrateful ignorant ones for the sake of it. Go research your facts and come back on the forum.

Please permit me to enlighten you a bit about the best leader your nation has ever come across...............

All that your parents enjoyed (free education, free school meals, free health care) and others you are still enjoying today, were made possible within 6 years of a great man's vision.

Osagyefo's achievements with OUR money inherited, also included monumental developments like the Tema Industrial city, Tema motorway, Tema harbour, Akosombo Dam, (with further plans for the Bui Dam), universities at Cape Coast and Kumasi, he set up many public corporations and state institutions to cater for the industrial and agricultural needs of the country (rice, jute and many others) factories, he also constructed high number of social services, such as schools, hospitals and roads etc., an international airport, he encouraged patriotism and suppressed tribalism in our society, his route to independence became the model for the rest of the continent,.........do I need to go on???????

It is very important to know where you are coming from to establish where you are going. That is why the useless NPP used most of his policies like free education as their 2012 campaign mantra and the other useless party in NDC are still claiming to be trying to complete Nkrumah's abandoned projects.

So, that should make realize that, the past really counts for the future...after all.

The only other leader I would like to mention with pride is Kutu Acheampong. He even did better then both the NDC and NPP parties put together. What a shame!

OSAGYEFO'S QUOTE: "By far the greatest wrong which the departing colonialists inflicted on us, and which we now continue to inflict on ourselves in our present state of disunity, was to leave us divided into economically unviable States which bear no possibility of real development...."

I hope you do understand what he meant by this?

So, looking beyond Ghana was a vision he had for OUR OWN good, which at the time, his saboteurs had no clue. It's obvious Osagyefo was operating from a different realm of ideas beyond his contemporaries.

Thank God history now proves him right!.......... What a LEADER!
I hope you get my drift. Em! I don't think so.

NKRUMAH NEVER DIES!!!!......That means, his legacy lives on forever!!!
Do you get it?

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Great leaders understands power, they also know how to use power, and again know how to aquire it. Such strong leaders actually needs a strong opposition figure to put them in check, otherwise they are bound to become dictators. This is what happened during Nkrumah's time, there was no real match, British trained scholars such as Dr. Busia, Reginald Amponsah, Joe Appiah, Akkufu Addo, Joseph Boachie Dankwa, etc, were all no match for an American trained and radicalized savvy power drunk individual like Nkrumah who has an agenda, the fall of Nkrumah was actually engineered by the west who want him out before they loose total grip over the African Continent whom Nkrumah was determined to liberate and unite, they stated by sinking the cocoa price, then dried out the pipes of aid, Nkrumah had nowhere to go when the nation was at the brink of bankrupt...
