  We all know the conspiracy to murder and kill Mills was engineered by the pepeni/ayigbe wicked anti Akan agenda and one of the triggers was the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with our brothers the Israelis . Now they wish us to make enemies with our natural allies in the west so we estranged with our diaspora . Why don't they go and organize a demo at the chief imam/terrorists house for after going to the Israeli embassy to beg for gifts and donations they received in good faith they chose to insult the Israelis . I wonder why this NDC mafia/Muslim group did not organize this demo during the Arab spring when they were killing our Akans in the tens of thousands all over . Why don't we see demos in front of the Libyan , Syrian , Morocco , Tunisia , Egypt and Saudi embassies ? why do they want to turn this country into another anti American / west fortress of stupidity. Did it ever cross their retarded minds that over half a million Akans live in Germany and over a million in the USA due the exodus caused by the wickedness and discrimination of the jj rawlings fake revolution? I will not mention the rest of the countries that accepted our people and gave them a chance to live comfortably yet they want to make propaganda war against these nations. Let them bus these fools to the embassy and i hope they have said their last goodbyes to their mothers as we will ambush them with our cutlasses and make sure they never go back home . we shall instruct our criminals and armed robbers to put their nefarious activities to good use and start targeting only ndc homes and their sympathizers . We shall make Ghana very unsafe for them as they have free accommodation , free food , free cars , free house boys and girls so can misbehave whenever they wake up. Americans despite some of their mischief with Monsanto and other foolishness are still our brothers and we will make sure all people who mean us well continue to feel welcome . Did it even cross the minds of these idiotic ndc that the person who wrote that tweet had every right since they were most likely half Akan and are disgusted by the careless irresponsible way the ndc are ruling ? did they not so long ago say they have a better agenda , action year, manifesto , no need for an all inclusive govt or tapping into the potentials of even the diaspora , no need for free education in the south too, no need to investigate the mysterious death of Mills , encouraging sodomy and homosexuality , govt still in first gear or now in reverse or completely stopped for lack of the fuel of ideas . In fact things are so bad that nobody sees anything but a bitter Ghana agenda , competent people with integrity refuse to participate in the mess of a govt or serve under and idiot of a pepeni president Mahama. Even our international partners shy away from having anything to do with this NDC as our problems are all about NDC POLITICS and their incorrigible rouge tribal fascism which further pushes our people to poverty . if you speak up and don't sing their hallelujah chorus of stupidity and hatred of the Akans you will be immediately be branded a drug baron , corrupt , arrogant , ashanti/akyem primitive ,madman , deranged , fool or idiot for pointing them in the right direction . how can there be a successful economic dialogue that will produce sustainable macroeconomics and plans based on the positive potentials of our people if all the major stakeholders including the diaspora are marginalized or excluded . if no one can dare to criticize the govt for fear of being victimized or persecuted by the ewes and northerners today ? The potential of the majority due to this tribal ndc politics is excluded from participating in anything so how do they expect the move things forward in reality have nothing to offer except corruption , hatred of the Akans and narrow mindedness? petition or not this govt is burdened by being illegitimate in the minds of all citizens ( as all still suspect election rigging and corruption of the judges ) so can never perform or have the true authority and support of the majority to produce a better future.one way or another they will be made to leave as their despicable acts have lead to all victims deeply despising them. God is with us and soon we shall have our day

  I have no love or respect for the Mahama administration because it is infested with a bunch of misguided administrators, but neither did I appreciate the wanton thievery and tribalism of the Kuffuor NPP.
  
  I personally believe that Mahama will be a one term President, but the blood thristy desire of the NPP and its surrogates to throw Ghana into a mess should less be tolerated.
  
  It is a shame because they will never win. Mahama is no fool, and power corrupts and more power breeds greed and ruthlessness.
  
  I hope Mahama fights back these vicious nation wreckers and deals them all a deadly blow, then we can vote him out of power.
  
  Perfect way to cleanse the country of all these miscreants in power!!!

  Look, these demonstrations will be peaceful with no intention of causing mayhem. If living conditions in the country is unbearable, what should the average worker/citizen do? Sit down with folded arms and expecting "God" to come and rescue them?
  
  If Mahama and NDC have any commonsense, they will understand that the constant or unrelenting increases of fuel is an invitation of hellish condition in Ghana because fuel increase affect "all sectors of the economy" and why should the government embark on such foolish journey?
  
  Ghanaians will demonstrate and that will lead to no mayhem as NDC is expecting. Look, if the suffering masses are all NPP supporters then that is a good sign that the opposition has a strong hold in Greater Accra.

  Anybody who feels that it is so bad, better yet, hard to live in Ghana, try this. Try living in Nigeria where Boko Haram makes sure that everyone feels like there is a mad dog in town. Try living in Central African Republic where once the two well organized religions, Christianity and Islam lived in harmony no longer exists. Where Christians have abandoned Christianity and returned to Traditionalism as means for spiritual empowerment to defeat their foe, the Muslims. Try living in Libya where after the demise of Col. Gadafi, peace has become a forgone conclusion. Try living in the Sudan (North or South)where there is a constant exchange of firepower between themselves. Try living in the Kenya where Somali militants have decided to expand their area of influence. You want try somewhere else? There are many other countries you can try to live in because under President Mahama, Ghana is unlivable. Try any other country of your choice. I will bet my last Cedi, in the end, you will conclude that you are better off living in your fatherland or motherland, Ghana.

  Are you out of your mind, Antiochus? What will a revolution, in the main, achieve in the short and long term, besides causing political instability, economic disruption and shattering the social fabric by pitting ethnic groups against each other? Witness what is currently unfolding in Syria, a country that was once an oasis of peace and tranquility...some firebrands thought they could ignite a revolution against the Assad regime but they underestimated the ferocity of the response from the government and now what do we have? A civil war that has killed 170,000, displaced a million others and carved the country into three fiefdoms, with ISIS controlling one part, the Free Syrian Army controlling Aleppo and the government lording it over Damascus.
  
  Is that the scenario you want for our beloved Ghana? Granted economic conditions are terrible, but these aren't permanent, there are just temporal headaches that will be solved with astute management.. solutions are on the horizon, believe me.

  TOP 5 REASONS WHY GHANAIANS ARE
  "hungry and desperate"
  =============================
  
  1. Ghanaians are used to easy-living. Minimum effort for maximum pay. Ask every single employer in Ghana, since 2002 they have perfected the art of doing nothing, using connections, lying, cheating and talking loudly and insulting everyone who is not going to help them sustain this life style. Allan Cash calls it NATO ( No Action Talk Only)
  
  2. They are waiting for a messiah preferably "kuffuor-like" and hence Nana Addo, who will come and get some free money from foreigners who are sympathetic, blind or wilfully ignorant like them. The money will be shared among the politicians and their extended families, cronies and friends who will then a)import commodities and set up table-top shops in every corner, nook and crany of the land. b) quickly convert the monies into dollars and take-off to Europe, Americas and south Africa to invest or hide.
  The current Government tried to copy this template but failed woefully. Different times different conditions. Now they wished they had listened to JJ Rawlings when he said they should have jailed as many of the Kuffour Brigade as possible. If you follow a "giant " to the hills make sure you are prepared to climb high mountains.
  
  3. Unfortunately right now it seems over 75 % ( according to Bawumia Arithmetic) of the population simply believe all that is required is for Nana Akuffo-Addo to become president. They believe he can get the money. After all, unlike poor fumbling 'northerner' JD Mahama, he has friends in London and Texas and Seoul waiting with open checkbooks, just like Kuffour. And he is already "rich" and "noble" ( he pays more taxes to the UK in year that he has paid in Ghana in the past 10 years). All he will need is to wave his magic wand and the slyly-cloying marauding voracious barracudas calling themselves variously as "financial engineers" and "to-na-ton" mercenaries (aka the middle-class?) will change their ways overnight and he will serenely go about providing free education to the 2-million or so hopelessly maladjusted 10-15 year olds. While at the same time continuing to allow the cash to flow as in 2006-2009.
  
  4. Every Ghanaian of average inteligence and status seems to have a plan to individually and separately get money by fair or foul means to a) build their mansion/house b) get pot-hole proof vehicles ( ideally of Toyota/Nissan Brand). c) send their kids to private school locally or overseas d) enough US dollar/Pound Sterling reserve to enable frequent unfettered travels. And to do all this from a government subvented salary as a civil/public servant/MP/MCE/PM/DAC/teacher or even a "party foot-soldier". Then they turn around talk about corruption. People everywhere in the world want these same things but they know that they will have to work extremely hard over a very long period of time to get these things. But we seem to excel in coming up with ways of getting the good things in life by doing little or nothing at all.
  
  5. Most Ghanaians seem to have the IQ of a lizard ( apologies to all lizards everywhere). Take this example: You are a Ghanaian living somewhere in the Eastern/Western Region, You have a piece of land your ancestors used for farming and some "creative" off-season traditional gold-mining.For ages thiey were able to use this system to maintain a rich culture and eco-balanced economy. You decide to sell this land as part of a concession to a group of young Chinese (and college grads from Utah, USA -check PBSonline for the documentary). They come with zeal and smarts as well as heavy equipment and completely destroy the land, the surface vegetation and rivers. Then you run to Accra and organize press conferences with tribal leaders and chiefs in sartorial lizard- colors to denounce the Government, insult the President. To add insult to injury, of course now you cannot even feed your own children in School with even plantain, cassava, cocoyam that all used to grow free and wild. Yes! you need a loan from Denmark (pop. 4 million, where everybody pays tax) for a dubious School Feeding Program and diet based on perfumed-rice from Thailand. Come on! Can you look into the eyes of a lizard ( cold blood, needs heat to survive etc.) and say you are smarter? But you see you are a Ghanaian so you are not allowed to think, reflect or even consider your actions. All you are required to do is find a convenient target to complain, blame, insult and if possible steal from- and everything is fine.

  Dr Borkor,
  
  Why don't you talk about NDC's miscalculation which has victimized them. They exploited the illiterate, the ignorant and applied communist despicable propaganda tactics and outright bribery of EC to win the elections with the sole purpose of raping Ghana into destitution.
  
  Epic thievery, stealing, corruption, misapplication of meager resources, wanton dissipation of state funds, create, loot, and share, the crass incompetency of the president and his appointees and impunity are the hallmarks of this criminal NDC government.
  
  These are the root causes of everything going on.
  
  Of course, political opponents will take advantage of that. NDC used NPP's blunders to ride to power.
  
  Be balanced in your observations and tell NDC the truth. Call a spade a spade.
  
  Mahama's government is a mistake and a calamity that has befallen Ghana.

  While President Mahama can be held accountable by Ghanaians let us be careful not to allow ourselves to be hijacked by foreign interests(powers) with their own agenda- namely to exploit divisions in our Nation so that they can steal our resources. No need to name names but a certain well known superpower has a habit of funding and orchestrating public protests of thsese kinds in order to eventually install a puppet government which will allow the foreign power to steal our resources. This foreign power has a multi-billion dollar funded organisation set up solely to carry out such operations in foreingn countries.
