Not surprising this is from an EWE. Nana, the NDC led by the perpetual Ewe haters hate you for nothing because your father worked hard in life to turn his destiny around. Your father lost both parents before age nine and was taken care of by benefactors. Through hard work he became president of Ghana through a legitimate election. The Ayigbe and Mpepe people who have now become a little civilized now just hate you for your blessed natural status in life. Your father earned his success against all odds and you have been a good son by keeping them and even adding more. You did not become wayward like others. In our very corrupt politics you are the MANDELA of Ghana. No one can acuuse you of corruption. Your desperate greedy Ewe led NDC guys CAN NEVER grow to your age. Their icons have started dying in Kenya and with BBC. God is alife. God be with you Nana!

When has Mahama come and Ghanaians should be all ready to ditch him? NPP and NaNa are worse off if we want to talk about corruption. Nana is an embodiment of corruption from birth.

Fact is, you in the NPP have no moral right whatsoever to talk about curbing corruption, as it is the lubricant that oils the way you think and do govt business.
Mahama has shown a lot of ineptness so far but 2016 is still far away, so far as politics is concerned.

Nana has just announced that he will compete in the primaries which does not necessaraly mean that Nana has been chosen as the presidendential candidate but look at what is happening. Some people who fear his coming back have started attacking him forgeting their own problems to deliver to Ghanaians. They know that once Nana has annouced his candidacy, he will win, and they are doing all that is possible to dicourage him and his supporters but we don't mind.

This foolish write-up from Elizabeth Darko smacks of tribalism and acts of disunity etc..The question to ask is what does Nana Addo bring to the table? Nana Addo was MP of Kyebi for 12 years,just as President Mahama was. President Mahama was Vice-President of Ghana and now President..Compare the track records of the two politicians ,and one can conclude that Nana Addo does not come anywhere close to the achievement of Prez John Mahama as MP, Vice- Prez, and now Prez.
On the other hand, Nana Addo as attorney -general would not prosecute two NPP ladies who were arrested at the Accra Airport for smuggling of drugs, and these ladies are now cooling off in the USA. Many cases of drug dealing and smuggling were left unproven cited, and the dockets removed from official records, etc, the issuing of diplomatic passports to some drug smugglers who are known members of the NPP. Nana Addo as Attorney -General in Kuffour NPP rather chose to chase and torment officers linked to the NDC, such as Gbevlo Lartey, Kontoh, Hodare Okai, Yaw Donkor and Nick, to mention but a few. From this observation, the track record of Prez Mahama outshines that of Nana Addo. Ask the people of Kyebi what developmental infrastrure they remember Nana Addo for. NOTHING, except moving around with a coterie of drug smoking and Akyem Mafia. We as Akans will always jump to support Nana Addo, but we must know that Nana Addo is EMPTY, as far as political prowess and achievement go.

I do not think Nana Addo will win the 2016 elections so if the NPP wants a good chance at victory then it should go for another candidate. However my posting is to take up on the fairy tales of Kojo Tamakloe and his CPP. They are becoming so tiresome and increasingly fantastic that something ought to be done
First he says Rawlings was arrogant in his "hand over to whom" I agree and in the long run he was made to eat his words. But what of Nkrumah's president for life? However in the long run he too was made to eat his ambitions so I guess his arrogance too was made manifest.
You talk of Nana's law documents. What of Nkrumah's birth certificate? Some say he was Liberian. After all he admits his name is Francis Ngonloma - a name that is nowhere in Ghana's list of names. Also we do not know his brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties etc. Strange for a Ghanaian! Moreover, Nkrumah tactfully hid his first wife - Mary Koranteng to whom he was married from 1951 to 1955.
Going further on certificates we are always led to believe "Dr" Nkrumah had a PhD from the LSE. This is false. He started his PhD at University of Pennsylvania but never submitted it for his defense. He transferred to the LSE but never completed and returned to the Gold COast as Mr Kwame Nkrumah. Check the database of PhDs from all of University of London including LSE on the Senate House website and there is no Kwame Nkrumah. His PhD is an honorary one from his old university, called Lincoln University, and yet in his Mausoleum you CPP chaps have a copy of his draft thesis there leading us to believe he was awarded a doctorate based on academic merit. He wasn't.
Don't talk of debt. Nkrumah inherited a debt of 15 million pounds and left a debt of 1 billion pounds. Fortunately for him, Ghanaians have short memories but go to the ministry of Finance, Bank of Ghana or Parliament House for the 1965 economic reports. It was in 1965 that Nkrumah started to beg the US for food aid under its Public Law 480 programme. It was also in 1965 that Nkrumah opened talks with the IMF on account of the crises in the Ghanaian economy.
.
Privatization works. Compare the performance of Ghana Commercial Bank with the numerous private banks. Compare the VIP and other transport companies with STC. Compare the private 5 star hotels with the once useless Ambassador and Continental hotels. Of all of the State-owned enterprises Nkrumah set up only about 10 ever made a profit. The rest were a huge burden on the ecoonmy and the poor taxpayer. Ghana Airways only made a profit from 1971-1973.
Ghana can't compete with Far East firms because while they encouraged domestic capitalism and sourced foreign direct investment, Nkrumah was cooking up theories of Nkrumahism and in his book Dark Days in Ghana he states plainly that he did not believe in the private sector and was going to shrink it further.
Kutu asked if he was god to make it rain? Nkrumah said he does no wrong making him a god! Kojo, stop changing our history!
In one breath Nkrumah spoke of Pan-Africanism on the other hand he destroyed emerging pan-Africanist structures. Who wound up West African Airways? Whop blocked the formation of the West African Institute which was going to be set up in 1958 to coordinate development in the sub-region? Who unravelled the West African Pound.
In 1964 on the eve of Singapore's independence Lee Kuan Yew was asked if he was going to create so many state-owned enterprises. His answer was no and he specifically stated that this model adopted by Nkrumah had bankrupted Ghana! You people always avoid this when claiming Ghana should have been at par with Singapore, Malaysia etc. All of these countries were opened to foreign direct investment. In fact Lee Kuan Yew said they built his country. Same applies to Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Botswana did not just open itself to the global economy it even kept about 70% of European expatriates on after independence to staff government departments in leading roles. They were made to leave gradually as their President, Seretse Khama, knew that they had immense knowledge which should not be lost. Other African countries followed Nkrumah's model and chased the Europeans out within a year of independence. Go to Botswana and then go to Guinea and see the difference.
In 2007 there was a TV programme talking about Ghana and the former deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, JH Frimpong-Ansah said he attended a cabinet meeting (in the absence of his boss)and there was Nkrumah going on about some wonderful plans costing a billion dollars. All the cabinet members were quiet and it was only Frimpong-Ansah who asked the question where the money for this Nirvana was coming from? Nkrumah replied from our reserves of course to which Frimpong-Ansah said we have only 500,000 pounds left.
Nkrumah got up and went round the cabinet table and asked all the members, one-by-one if this was true and all said yes one-by-one.
Nkrumah then sat down and started to cry.
Do have a nice Sunday, Kojo.

You have written a lot of falsehood about Nkrumah which must not go unchallenged. But, I just want to concentrate on only one: his educational attainment abroad.
All that can be found in Marika Sherwood's superlative book, Kwame Nkrumah: The Early Years. Google for it, all of you. Here is a relevant quote from a review:
"The book under review provides an extremely rich documentation on these politically formative years in two parts: "the American years." 1935 to 1945 and "the London years", 1945 to 1947.The first ten years were intensely academic, and were spent at two U.S. institutions of higher education, Lincoln University — an African American liberal arts college, and the nearby University of Pennsylvania In Philadelphia. Nkrumah was an outstanding student at Lincoln, graduating magna cum laude with a B.A. in sociology in 1939. He also worked there in various capacities as a teaching assistant and as an instructor, including a one–year appointment as professor of Philosophy and Logic, Elementary Greek, and Negro Civilization and History in 1944-45.
In addition to earning a Master of Science degree in Education at the University of Pennsylvania, Nkrumah assisted in teaching African language at the Institute of Languages and Culture. Unfortunately, his Ph.D. dissertation in Philosophy was rejected, presumably for being "too pro-Communistic"(p.64).
With little financial support, Nkrumah engaged in extramural activities likely to earn him some money for his living and educational expenses. Thus, he made use of his Bachelor's degree in Sacred Theology, earned in 1942 from Lincoln University's Theological Seminary — a Presbyterian seminary — to obtain a Licentiate from the Chester Presbytery for purposes of preaching the gospel. He apparently preached virtually every Sunday in different churches in Philadelphia, New York, or Washington. Since the Christian ministry was not his real calling, he did not choose to move a step further by being ordained as a minister. A second extramural activity was manual labor, including work at a ship building and dry dock company near Philadelphia.”
Thus, Nkrumah passed all his course works, presented his completed dissertation but this was rejected based on ideological grounds. He refused to change his methodology, remove certain things and left to the UKinstead.
Nkrumah, the outstanding student, worked for and deserved his PhD., not only that honorary Lincoln gave him instead. He has shown by his intellectual output that he was indeed an outstanding scholar, theorist and intellectual, equal to the best in the world and taller than most in Africa.

"He started his PhD at University of Pennsylvania but never submitted it for his defense."
So I proved that he indeed submitted but was prevented from defending it by the forerunners of McCarthyism. That's why when Nkrumah was receiving his honorary PhD from Lincoln he took the pains of denying that he was a communist.

Was it at the Attorney General´s office, where dockets got vanished in thin air under his watch? Or at the foreign affairs ministry where diplomatic passports were issued to family members for drug business?
Sometimes, I´m ashamed for this man. Leading thugs in the name of demonstrations against government´s attempt to increase tax bases for economic development is no achievements, if that is what his family members are talking about. Disgracefully, they came to power to increase the VAT. Yes, the HIPC money? They shared it among themselves. His stupid hollow certificate buyer, Gabby would tell you that, Akufo Addo did not take part in the loots. Hahahahah!Useless and and frustrated beings! President? For who! A drug addict and a fake lawyer? Over the dead bodies of Ghanaians.

pan Africanist indeed, with this thinking what are you going to be
You forgot to add the drill ship to the list. Anyway Nana is already fighting loosing battle and he knows he is going to lose, not just lose but would lose big time. The odds are stacked against him which ever way he turns.
Not surprising this is from an EWE. Nana, the NDC led by the perpetual Ewe haters hate you for nothing because your father worked hard in life to turn his destiny around. Your father lost both parents before age nine and was ...

I don't want to talk about the president now. All that I want to say is: If Mahama could be president, Nana can be far a better president
Nana is born and cooked in corruption. You people should not try to paint something a different color and sell it to us. He must come clean on his certificate before he can ever rule Ghana. We will teach our children to do th ...

Kojo Tamakloe better spend his energy address the present wave of corrupt facing the country
We should equally not allow some corrupt person like Nana Addo who was born and pushed through school by his dad by fraudulent means to lead us. We should learn from our past if we sincerely want to fight corruption. Nana is ...
