This is the year we shall not only talk but post here proofs of corruption and evil agenda of Mahama , his brothers and his muslim clique mafia. Yes we have the evidence , tapes and pictures though we would rather the next govt secures justice we realize its import the people know exactly what is going on. Equalizing the guilt between the various political parties is based on the principle 2 wrongs = right but that superficial bull shit will not fly no more. NDC lies when they tell us Mahama was Atta Mills choice of successor , when he was alive we all remember Mahama himself saying he had no ambition to stay in office after the mandate of Mills but when he realized Mills has authorized investigations into his blatant corruption he used his moslem mafia security boys to kill his boss . Yeltsin of Russia realizing he was too sick to continue named Putin as his successor , Mills did not name Mahama because he realized the treacherous criminal should never be entrusted with the presidency. Now we have parallel sinister behind the scenes control of the presidency by the brothers Mahama and their cronies such as Ayawaso North MP Maj.(Dr.) Alhaji Mustapha Ahmed (rtd.)who by the way is also minister of state in charge of Development Authorities. This fake minister has been seen in Italy , Turkey , Iran , India the former Yugoslavia , Germany etc stashing away Mahama cash in Switzerland , Dubai and Hong Kong .Just imagine what does this minister of state have doing traveling to all these countries and being seen socializing with criminals , mafiosi and dangerously toxic mercenaries , in fact we are told NATO has been observing the activities of this criminal rather closely. Yes we shall expose here over the next few months the activities of these individuals and if this man dares say we are lying let him show his passport and release for the public his official reports of all these trips . Yes Mahama is more than corrupt he is the cancer and metastasize that has eaten away the unity of all tribes and its now each must look out for his own . NDC must not campaign for this idiot of a criminal president but rather sit in opposition for at least one term to cleanse themselves of this wickedness

Edward Mahama stood 4 times and lost all. Nana faced a daunting tax of unseating a sitting president at the time that he is going for his thirrd time. JA Kufour won his second attempt because he not contest a sitting president. AttahMills won his third time attempt because he also did not contest a sitting ppresident. Nana contested an acting president and lost to him. This same president is now standing with Nana as a sitting president, what chance can he get spart from trying his luck once again in 2016. Nama will certaily be defeated since his only campaign massage of free education that atracted a seazable votes to him would be taken by JDM when he started the policy in 2015. 2016 election is a foregone issue.

The so-called professor that tried to embellish Nkrumah's economic record needs to go to School all over again. These types of socialist arguments could deceive Ghanaians in the 50s and 60s but, they cannot do so now. Nkrumah was the first leader to introduce unsustainable debt into this country by borrowing massively and unnecessarily to finance his whims and caprices. It was a misfortune that we had such a person as president immediately after the independence. He didn't lay a realistic economic foundation for sustainable development of the young nation at all, considering the amount of money that was at his disposal in those days.

Ghana had about one billion dollars in reserve when Nkrumah took over the reins of government from the colonial master. Could you imagine what the value of 1bn dollars was in the early fifties? Again, after 2years of his rule, cocoa prices at the world market rocketed and increased four-fold. But contrary to any sound economic planning, he did not reserve any fraction of the windfall for a rainy day as the Whiteman had done with only one fourth of the revenues he got from cocoa. So, what did Nkrumah do with all the revenue he got from the astronomical cocoa prices, and the big reserve he inherited that took many years to build for our financial stability and sustainable development?

The man just went on a spending spree both in Ghana and around the world, throwing his weight about and talking big. So when the cocoa prices fell close to the end of his rule, he was quick to point accusing fingers at the West, blaming them for manipulating cocoa prices to sabotage the economy of Ghana and overthrow his government. Finally, after misusing all the money mainly on useless prestigious projects, failed communist agricultural projects and whimsical mad rush industrialization projects that did not withstand the test of time, he also burdened the young nation with another billion dollars' debt before he was forced out of the country.

The truth is that, the economy could not grow and achieve its potentials under communists since the system lucks mechanisms and incentives that would have released energies of the people to create wealth. Nkrumah, therefore, met a rich and confident country with stable economy, and left it bankrupt in some few years as a result of gross communist mismanagement.

Mahmoud, your claim that Ghana had reserves of about $1 billion at the time of independence is silly because it is never true. The colonial governemnt left Ghana with about £200 million. That is what all historians and others have documented. There is a video on Youtube on the construction of the Akosombo Dam and that is the figure given. Nkrumah had to borrow money for the dam because the cost alone could have consumed almost what the British left.

If you hate Nkrumah that is fine but stop propagating falsehood about how much the Bristih left the Gold Coast/Ghana at the time of independence. Britain herself did not have $1 billion in her reseves at the time and was in debt to the US because of the 2nd WW. In fact, the £200 million was part of exports revenue from the Gold Coast/Ghana that the colonial government kept in Britain to support her balance of payment and economy instead of sending them to the colony for development. After indepence, the Bristish government decided to give some back to Ghana. It was not a gift but money earned by Ghana and should have been used by the colonial government for development programmes in Ghana instead of being kept in Britain for their benefit.

If you enjoyed Nkrumah's free education as I did, then you better make good use of your knowledge by researching this matter and stop deceiving readers. I even doubt if you are called Mahmoud and believe you have chosen a Moslem or a Nothern name to decive readers. What has this article go to do with Nkrumah?

Mahama and NDC government used Ametefe to transport cocaine to Uk. How come that ordinary Ghanaian used VVIP to transport cocaine that value 3.5 million pounds to united kingdom? This tells you that Ghana is ruling by animals but not human beings. Think about this. What about wayomi saga, Sada Saba, Isofoton, Waterville Geeda and many more. NDC you are too evil to Ghana therefore you must go. Go Go Go you devils NDC.

Mr. Prince, you do not realize that elections are not won in the major cities and towns. Elections are won in the rural areas. The NDC, is concentrating its development efforts there and these are the people who will vote massively for them. If a community which has been living in darkness since adam is connected to the national grid, you do not expect them to vote for the NPP and Nana Addo

Too desperate my man! Ghanaians will never forget the drugs, the 50 cents nkonsorkorsor(gold chains)which could have been used to alleviate the dum sor problem we currently have going on. Ghanaians know what happened to our lands and bungalows when we let you taste power for 8 years. The EC is haven when you win elections but you chose to go to court to drag development of this nation back when things go South. Have you all forgotten corruption at the Flag Staff House, which started from Adam? Well at least Mahama is doing something about it. 2016 is 'Operation Cold Chop' for NDC.

The chance is for Nana Addo but he has lost it in advance.I don't like his campaign strategy because it's not effective.You will agree with me that if his campaign strategy had been effective things will be different.Nana Addo shouldn't have come with Bawumia because of their elections petition.I am afraid they are going to win in only 2 regions again.Mamama may win because Nana Addo is not playing his game well.Mahama has a very strong case to prove to Ghanaians that he really won the 2012 ON MERIT.As for me,I think Nana is on the slippery road.Nana Addo must change his political rhetorics otherwise he will score an own goal.If he wants to win then he must stay away from the Supreme Court case.Don't take NDC for granted,NPP can learn a lot of campaign strategies from them.Happy New Year.
