  Technocrats in this nation are not good enough and the political elite are not proactive leaders else we will not have dumso which began a long time ago.
  
  Mahama is not smart else he will tell the nation about Ghana recession due to lowered revenue from lowered cocoa, gold and oil prices at the same time.
  
  What Ghanaians can do now is to use energy as a scarce resource and resolve to pay taxes like their western counterparts do .
  
  To me if I were president Mahama I would use all revenues from oil to source for a generational income earning sourced from power generation to produce energy and sell to west Africa by building a power plants that will produce much more than Ghana needs. Thus approach solves dumso and Keri's it away whilst we gain another revenue source like cocoa.
  
  Cheap energy will bring in more revenue because manufacturers will troop to Ghana and set shop because we have cheap labour like the east.
  
  We need to produce 15 gigawatts to sustain us for the next 50 years since our power demand rate is at rate of 12% and will go up with time.
  
  Use Virgil to educate celebs and Ghanaians on saving energy rather.

  Kofi, the problems we have in our part of the world is that, the government must do everything for us. I hundred percent agree that it is the responsibility of the government to give us electricity. Yes, as you righty said, electricity is life.Industries are being affected and people are being laid off from work. The hospitals are without power. The consequences,we all know. But the question is, can't we, as an individual, make our own efforts to continue running our own small scale industries, just like many other countries are doing? Should we make this situation a political one? Should we insult the president just becasue we are in darkness? That is the problems some of us have had all along with this certain people. I am happy you mentioned that way back in 1971 a Ghanaian goal keeper was stabbed in Tema and died due to lack of electricity at the hodpital. It means that the problems have been with us all the years.Why would people make it a political issue now and be insulting and encouraging such silly things they called celebrities, to display their failed up bringing from their broken homes? Who are the celebrities.We are living here for years and know who are called celebrities. We know their positive contributions to their individual nations and the world as a whole, and not these dirty and disrespectful face bleaching caricatures. Can they insult their irresponsible parents because of lack of electricity in their homes? I wonder even if they know their bilogical fathers. What kind of culture is that? What is Ghana turning into and who are the ones behind all this nonsense? It is as if Ghana is the worse place in the world to live.Why can't we be a bit patriotic? The fact is, no government would come and fix this power problems within a month or two, or even a year.It will take a long time, and it will be a continuous process.How many megawatts of power did they add for all the 8 years in power? They were only interested in looting our resources and selling our assets and pocketing the money.They should give the president a break to work. If at the end of his mandate Ghanaians decide to vote against him, fair enough.Enough of this nonsense.

  Sometimes I wonder how some people think when it comes to one political party of government. They make comments as if they have power 24/7 in their homes and offices so do not feel the heat like others are. what is wrong here when citizens of this nation are expressing their fundamental human rights where we as a democratic state have been guaranteed freedom of expression. it seems some of us do not know what is in the 1992 constitution. It is our basic right to demand from government to always ensure that we have adequate electricity supply to do our businesses. How can an individual solve this energy crisis when we pay taxes to the government to ensure our basic needs are guaranteed.
  
  The celebrities are also Ghanaians and have every right to express their concerns to the Government so stop accusing them.
  
  If there is ban on noise making they should know that it doesnt cover the whole Accra. Tema, Nungua, Teshie and La are there so they can move the vigil to Trade fair or other places. I fully support the idea.

  You have a point but,you should bear in mind that our constitution is just a carbon copy of the USA"s.Now simply google Sri Lanka or Malaysia energy plants and see the results.These are all third world countries who did take their energy needs seriously.From 1966 no government in Ghana cared about our energy needs.The celebrities can lobby big businesses to set up small/medium bio-mass cum solar plants to alleviate the problem. Demonstrating against the president is not going to give us electricity overnight. That is what we call "positive action" or patriotism.

  An open letter to Lydia Forson, the so-called acclaimed celebrity.
  
  A fool they say talks without thinking, and this is the perfect example of a foolish fool who calls her self Lydia Forson clothed in the deceptive attire of an actress and acclaimed celebrity just because she won the African movie academy awards.
  
  Over the years I have watched you rant and run your mouth about people and happenings within and outside this country, at first I thought you were just a concerned citizen trying to air her views and express her self owing to the fact that every human being has the freedom of expression, but as time went on, I noticed u were not doing it with the right intention and sincerity of heart but rather to draw attention to yourself and increase your rating as a so called celebrity, that reminds me, what even makes you a celebrity, I can't remember seeing you in up to 15 African movies, anyway let me drop that topic for later, like I was saying, instead of sharing your views on matters that concerned you, you went a step ahead to criticize people, which at first I didn't really consider a big deal since matters are meant to be criticized to see if the policies in place are good enough, but hey, when you criticize the very first thing critics do is that, they suggest or even proffer solutions to the matters on ground,but NO you dont do so, rather you go about insulting people, running your mouth like a tap every where you can and saying all sorts of rubbish you feel like pouring out.
  First, it was on the issue of you insulting your Facebook friends and calling them all sorts of names, probably because you thought you where no longer on the same terrain with them.
  Secondly, you this same Lydia Forson insulted a writer for Ghanaweb.com by name mr Adeyemi, and another writer for Nigerianfilms.com one mr mustapha ayinde AkA attractive Ayinde.
  As if that was not enough, you went ahead to paint a very nasty picture of the Ebola situation in Nigeria simply because you had the opportunity to be invited, whilst the country was trying to save lives and prevent the spread, maybe that one didn't really go as wide as you wanted, but some people still heard about it
  You didn't stop there, you went ahead to blast an anointed man of God for preaching a sermon concerning respect in marriage and self honesty, as for that one, it just showed how shallow minded and indisciplined you are, for that I will leave you to God to give you the punishment due you, remember " touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm"
  Lydia Forson, you did not stop there, you again went ahead to say " mahama is that school kid who always comes last" I mean how more insulting can you be, look I know you lived abroad okay, but here in Africa we respect our elders, am sure president mahama even if he weren't the president is still older than your father.
  Now here you are again, posting a very sarcastic message in regards to the June 3 disaster. Instead of sending condolences just like your colleagues are doing and then waiting for the mourning period to be over before you begin your mouth running,
  
  Well for your information, you are not a real celebrity until you begin to touch lives with what u got, look out there, there's Akon supplying electricity to over 600 million Africans, you are here hashtagging dumsor must stop, there's John Dumelo going round AFRICA to promote the name of Ghana, there's okyeame kwame with his cancer support campaign, there's Beca supporting kids with Autism just to mention but a few, but because of how lazy and dumb you are, you just lie down in the comfort of your couch and post all sorts of trash on Social Media.
  
  Stop relying on past glories, just because you won the African movie Academy awards in 2010 does not give you the impetus to misbehave, grow up girl, the world is civilized..
  
  I drop my keypad here for the sake of time and also to attend to other businesses of more importance but I wanna leave you with these bible verse since you are so good at quoting bible verses to backup your nonsense posts. Proverbs 5:3-5 " the lips of a strange woman drop as an honey comb, and her mouth is smoother than oil, but her end is bitter as wormwood, share as a two edged sword. Her feet go down to earth , HER STEPS TAKE HOLD TO HELL" change your ways Lydia, for pride goes before a fall.
