  mahama was a mistake choice that believe me most even in their God forsaken ndc party truly regret . Mills was murdered so that pepeni and ayigbe idiots could get their hands on power and money . now we all see what they are really doing soon they will be swept away and never again will any of them even come close to any official institution of state . mahama and his brothers after financial forensic investigations will be the first president to get a life sentence for corruption and crimes against the state . the alternative is a bloody revolution and war forget a peaceful transition of power as the will definitely try to proclaim victory by rigging the elections with the help of national security .This time the people will not be taken for a ride as we saw with the glorious demonstration in Kumasi the other day, the Ashantis have finally made us proud .Yes what have WE AKANS done to deserve such a stinking foul corrupt thieving pepeni/ayigbe kum Ga govt on our heads ? A whole police chief no dey see top when the people the people started to spontaneous arrive and they no go see top when this is organized nationwide with the help of all progressive political forces that do not agree with the daylight robbery corruption we are see today . If they even dream of shooting just one bullet we shall turn the demo bloody and deal with them all . We Akans are tired of being cheated and we will get justice and freedom whether they like it or not . Their police in their uniforms of brutality can not frighten us as we have nothing to loose , they have made life so hard that it cant get any worse . we are fed up with their incompetence , selfishness ,lies and hate .

  If only you are not an Ashanti but rather from any other tribe supporting NPP is a waste of time.

  When semi-literates like you start condemning a writer on the basis of academic qualification, you give some of us the benefit of the doubt. You don't have the academic qualification that you foolishly condemn. So, aren't you more than stupid?

  You are nothing but an ethnocentric fool whose main agenda is to show your colour and be invited to enjoy the spoils of your wargame.It gets incredibly ridiculous to see people whose tradition has been usurping people's power through manufactured lies express resentment when people go on demonstration. Bokor for your information, the people of the Ashanti Region and for that matter anyone has the right to demonstrate. Your inability to appreciate the pain that this obnoxious government is inflicting on Ghanaians makes you unfit to even give commentary here. If anyone is tribalistic, it's not the people of Ashanti Region but the NDC Government. The people in that region has allowed petty thieves marauding as politicians to take them for granted for far too long. If you are not blind to the truth, you will not cite established democracies as a case. You enjoyed the largese of western democracies but want dictatorship in your country. You refuse to see the pillage of your tribesmen parading as politicians and come here to play the siege mentality. Your mentor JJ came to the limelight through agigation and you people behave you have the right to organise demonstrations but others should just look on and allow you to paddle on in the government's attempt at grinding the state of Ghana to a halt. Write like an intellectual.

  Michael the tribal bigot and chauvinist is refusing to acknowledge it was the P/NDC that introduced vandalism and lawlessness into modern Ghana politics. The examples are enough to fill a 500 page book and so who does Michael think he's fooling?
  What language does the NDC understand apart from violence and lawlessness? What message was Mahama sending to the Ashantis in particular and Ghanaians in general when he blared the song "Yentie Obia" in their ears?
  Tribal politics became an integral part of Ghana politics after Rawlings second coming in 1982 and the NDC are happy with this devious strategy because it has so far tilted power in their favor . It's all going to end one day and when that day comes many of you trash talkers and bigots will run and hide. The NDC's MO and Michael's writings betray their collective agenda . Right now they've chosen the path of division and the fire they have started will engulf and consume them first, every tribal hegemonist and bigot. If you and your ilk hate Ashantis in particular and Akans in general why don't we adopt the federal system of government or better still separate ourselves into different nation states. Let's do it now. You have nothing to lose.

  Well, in a democratic country, demonstrations are welcome but only when the exercise is within the frame work of the democratic dispensation in which the demonstrators obey the necessary arrangements puts in place by the police to ensure safety of the whole exercise. Like you rightly point out, the problem facing Ghana started long before President Mahama assumed office, but it is also OK to demonstrate peacefully to again remind the government about it and have them on their toes. But the problem with this ya ye den demonstration is that, they did not present petition. Or may be they did and we are not aware off. The report the Ashanti police commander DCOP Kofi Boakye renders to the public about the inappropriate conduct of the demonstrators is very disturbing since they have plan to embark on similar demonstration in other regions. We don't want what happened in Egypt to occur in Ghana, because Ghanaians are good in photo copying. Look at the end of the day, its better Ghana we all crying for. Peace is very important. God Bless Ghana.
