  POLITICALLY THE INEPT PRESIDENTS IN THE PAST AND THE NONESENSE THAT HAVE GONE IN AND IS STILL GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS TETHER.
  
  ENOUGH OF THE FILTH, CHAOS, GHOST NAMES ON PAYROLL, CORRUPTION, ETC
  
  THERE ARE A LOT OF GHANAIANS WHO EMIGRATED ABROAD FOR ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL REASONS LAST 25- 30 YRS.
  
  MOST OF US " THE FRUSTRATED GHANAIAN PROFESSIONALS ABROAD" FGPA PART OF "THE FRUSTRATED AFRICANS PROFESSIONALS ABROAD" FAPA ARE COMING BACK HOME TO GHANA BY JUNE 2015 TO HELP FIX THE GHANIAN ECONOMY.
  
  "OCCUPY GHANA" JOE THANKS FOR STAYIING STURDY LIKE A ROCK. WE ARE COMING SOON TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE FOR A BETTER GHANA!
  
  GHANA HAS ALL THE RESOURCES TO GENERATE THE REVENUE TO MAKE IT A VERY SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY! WE ALSO HAVE SUNSHINE FOR SOLAR ENERGY!
  
  GHANA OR AFRICA IS NOT POOR! WE HAVE BEEN TOLERATING TOO MANY BAD LEADERS WHO ARE GREEDY, CORRUPT, UNENLIGHTENED, AND DO NOT HAVE A VIABLE VISION FOR TOO DAMN LONG!
  
  THE GHANAIANS WHO ARE SMART, ENLIGHTENED,SOPHISTICATED, AND DETERMINED TO CHANGE GHANA FOR THE BETTER, WE ARE COMING BY JUNE 2015.
  
  STAYING ABROAD CAN NEVER SOLVE OUR COUNTRIES PROBLEMS. MOST OF US WILL BE BACK TO YANK THE FAILING ECONOMY BACK TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE!
  
  JOE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING! GOOD JOB!

  Sydney, I think it is about time you reorganized your thinking processes to join with a few Ghanaians who see wisdom in a different but effective and proven approach to solving all the problems of government you pretend to give a darn about.
  
  Since 1966 Ghana has been cursed or blessed, depending on your tribal and or political perspective, to have had a myriad of ideological governments come and gone with each adding a set of problems to existing list of national problems. From where I sit, Sydney, we got to where we are in Ghana not because of one party but because of ill informed voter public suffering the same tribal ailment that normalizes one tribal foolishness while showing disdain for the foolishness of some other tribe. My approach, Mr. Sydney is to ask governments to tackle just one and only one national problem because Ghana's problems can be summarized into four main problems of (1) inadequate electricity, (2) ineffective accountability of our officials and leaders, (3) nonexistent infrastructures and (4) lack of commercial and residential structures that are befitting of modern day Ghana.
  
  First and foremost is electricity. And it is the failure of NPP and NDC government to address this problem that gives me irritation when you and others pretend there has ever been a government in Ghana that has been worth a hill of beans considering the money wasted and the delusional supporters claiming to have lived better under one party versus the other. Without electricity we have not developed but added to the misery and shortened life expectancy of Ghanaians and yet we brag about these abject fools in the NDC and NPP.
  I will settle for the resolution of one problem each 8-year irrespective of which party takes the credit. And let me assure you, Sydney, that the NPP is a mirror image of the NDC. Both cannot explain and show proof of sustainable footprints of their ideological leanings in Ghana but a noise agitated foot soldiers with their heads buried in the sands of Ghana

  You are right about the silly partisanship. It just so happens that in relative terms, there was better governance under NPP.
  
  That said, our current calibre of politicians do injustice to a country so gifted with human resources. Somehow though,the technocrats and expatriates share in the blame because we have turned our backs on the nation and have allowed the greedy and incompetent to fill the void.

  Sir, I personally think the comments from the said Rev. was sarcastic, though all the shopping mall are true, does it belongs to Ghana ? How many Ghanaian citizens can go to those shops heads up and shop freely, do you see what is on our streets in the cities ? Have you ever drive through Tetteh Quashie round about to Tema station? Do you feel comfortable to see how many people begging both left and right on the street of Accra ? The filth, the ghost names which has been in the system from the beginning of Ghana foundation ? Are you happy the way these administration dragged our dear nations name in the mug during the Brazilian World Cup ? There a lot of things which are not alright in our nation and need to be addressed . It's very sad some people take criticism from a particular government personal and i think that is why our nation is legging behind.

  Lies and falsehood do not exalt a nation. Until the truth is spoken and accepted Ghana will remain as it is. Calling a sheep a cow will not make the sheep a cow. We need to say it as it is. We need to identify our problems and accept our mistake, and find durable solutions and not to pretend that there are no problems.

  Sidney Caseley-Hayford is an NPP false propaganda peddler. So your lights were on, and you're not satified, though you made loud noises about dumsor. Sidney Caseley-Hayford is just trying his damnest to be heard so that he can be given a post in an Akufo-Addo administration. Wishful thinking, Sidney. Your candidate Akufo-Addo is a cerified serial loser who's on his way to his third defeat. Keep making your empty noises, Sidney, for it's your energy.

  GREAT CIVILIZATIONS WERE LED BY MOSTLY GREAT MEN! GHANAIAN MEN APART FROM DR.KWAME NKRUMAH ALL OF YOU GHANAIAN MEN ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO GHANA SO FAR. OUR ECONOMY IS STILL IN TARTERS.
  
  ALL OUR PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN MEN AND MOST OF THE MINISTERS ARE MEN. NONE OF YOU MEN HAVE DONE ANYTHING REALLY DYNAMIC OR CONSTRUCTIVE THUS FAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
  
  ALL MOST OF YOU GHANAIAN MEN DO IS RUN AROUND LIKE HEADLESS CHICKENS!
  
  GHANA NEEDS REAL ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS TO BE A GLOBAL PLAYER. ALL YOU MEN HAVE BEEN DOING IS TALK TALK TALK! COME UP WITH REAL SOLUTIONS PLEASE.
  
  UTILIZATION OF OUR ABUNDANT NATURAL RESOURCES TO GENERATE REVENUE FOR FREE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN UP TO 18 YRS OF AGE. IN ALL DEVELOPED COUNTRIES THERE IS FREE EDUCATION FOR CHILREN UP TO 18 YEARS OLD.
  
  GHANA CAN FOLLOW THE BLUE PRINT OF ALL THE GOOD PRACTICES IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
  
  YOU GHANAIAN MEN ARE DISAPPOINTING OUR NATION BIG TIME! WE WOMEN WOULD BE BETTER LEADERS BECAUSE MOST YOU GHANAIAN MEN ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO GHANA AND DO NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW TO RUN AN EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE COUNTRY.
  
  SOME OF YOUR MEN HAVE ALL THE ACADEMIC DEGREES, & PHD'S YET LOOK AT THE STATE OF GHANA?
  
  ANY OF YOU SHOULD TAKE A WALK AROUND OPERA SQUARE,MAKOLA, RAWLINGS, PARK, UTC, FROM FARISCO TO UTC, CHILDRENS HOSPITAL,KANTANMANTO AND ASK YOURSELVES "IS THIS THE ACCRA CENTRAL WE WANT? OVER 25 YEARS NO REAL SIGNIFICANT PROGRESSIVE CHANGE.
  
  WHAT IS THE INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTURE IN ACCRA/GHANA DOING?HOW ABOUT ACCRA TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING? THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING PAID ALL THESE YEARS YET NO CITY DEVELOPMENT!? WHERE ARE THE CITY HALLS,PARKS, SCHOOLS ETC? NONESENSE TO THE CORE IS YOU ASK ME!
  WHY DOES THIS STUPIDITY GO ON? SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT AND NO BRAINER.
  
  INACCOUNTABILITY, INEFFICENCY, CORRUPTION CAN NEVER SOLVE GHANA'S DEMISE! TRASPARENT DEMOCRACY IS THE ONLY WAY.
  
  GHANA NEEDS FEMALE PRESIDENTS. WE WOMEN CAN DO A BETTER JOB! IF YOU GHANAIAN MEN ARE FAILING TO LEAD OUR GREAT NATION GHANA, DO YOU REALLY THINK GHANAIAN WOMEN WOULD HAVE FAITH IN YOU? YOU GHANAIAN MEN HAVE TO USE YOUR BRAINS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT UP TO THIS POINT. GHANA IS IN ECONOMIC CRISIS! WE HAVE NO GOOD DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO SPEAK OF AND NO RELIABLE ELECTRICITY YET WE HAVE ENGINEERS GRADUATING FROM OUR UNIVERSITIES YEARLY FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS OR MORE AND YET THERE IS NOT MUCH PROGRESS!
  
  GHANAIAN MEN POINT THE FINGER AT YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOU KEEP PASSING THE BUCK! IF YOU MEN CAN'T FIX IT WE WOMEN WOULD TAKE THE HELM. OTHERWISE PROVE YOU GHANAIAN MEN CAN DO IT AND GET TO WORK AND STOP THIS NONESENSE OF TALKING TOO MUCH WITH NO ACTION! WE ARE TIRED OF BEING TIERED OF THIS SENSLESS NONESENSE.
  
  GHANAIAN MEN COME UP WITH REAL SOLUTIONS BECAUSE GHANA IS IN DIRE ECONOMIC CRISIS!
