  My brothers u r 1000 percent right . What do they mean by winner takes all, how do i vote for a party and expect that party to share power. It is simple npp members do not want to work all they do is wait for their party to come to power for them to get cheap monies and buy cars without working for it. We know for them politics is business period

  The problems we have in Ghana have absolutely nothing to do with winner- takes-all.
  
  We have political parties which founded and ran on purely ethnic lines, effectively dividing the nation along such boundaries. With this mentality, members of the opposition do everything to send the country to ground zero.
  
  Watch them. When ex-Pres Kufuor was about to sell Ghana Telecom, only his party members supported the idea and all his MPs voted for it. The then opposition NDC condemned it, shouting loud enough to be heard by everyone. Thank God, NDC is in power. When they wanted to sell Merchant Bank, hear what NPP also said. Who's telling truth?
  
  Such are the trends. Those who claim to be the experts including the IEA are those worsening our national issues. Professors or the so-called experts in a given party are so internally minded that they cannot see/say anything wrong with any of their own policies.
  
  Look at the educational sector: yesterday we had two and a half years JSS or JHS, today we have 3 years. SHS too the same. Why?
  
  Until we agree that we are one people, no policy statement or constitutional provision can solve anything, whether winner shalls all or winner takes all.

  Recent events especially the demonstration in Kumasi show that there are competent capable NPP youth who do not hesitate to do the right thing , strategies and planning on scale almost as perfect as a war effort yet remain humble and real down to earth. These so called elders including Nana Addo underestimated these youth and the brain power they have , maybe its time to give way and allow some of these unknown worthy men /women to come forward and lead. we know many of the youth today have been brainwashed by the NDC propaganda into stupidity so do not see the truth. have you ever asked yourself why is it that when they hear the call WE AKANS they go into a stupefied frenzy of hate ? why is it that Akans are now very cautious of even saying who they are and where they are from , why is it that its only the Akans who believed in the melting pot of Ghana and disregarded their diversities . why is it that today in the ministries most traumatized Akans especially the Fantis and Nzemas will only speak Ga or English yet ewes , northerners and others can freely converse in their mother tongue ? Talk about aggressive tribalism and where its coming from , why is this govt and their minority groups continuously trying to marginalize the Akans and undermine every effort at development since the time of Kotoka . Yes its all about the worst kind of tribalism , hegemony , chauvinism , buga buga , propaganda lies and destructive corruption. We must fight even though we shall be branded mad men , cocaine dealers , drug barons and any other personality or character assassination they can think of . We must not allow them to break our spirit with this deliberate agenda to create poverty , divide and rule , no law or justice for the Akan . We must like it or not seriously consider seceding and forming our own state without these Ewes , Northerners and Gas as that way we leave a legacy and better future for our children . No point in having a country and govt that seems to do well only in making our people miserable and poor , that gives our gold fields to enemies who will never invest a single dollar into our economy but rather do everything to weaken our economies to the point were self reliance is impossible . They do this under the guise of proper business that makes the World bank , IMF and European union happy but we need a Mugabe or Chavez who will look out for the interests of our own people FIRST.

  Make sure you know what you are commenting on. There is nothing like, first past the pole in political theory.
