    The corrupt Mahama was just blaspheming in his talks in New York at the 70th UN General Assembly.
    As soon as the thief Mahama gets back to Ghana he will do a different thing all together.

    Can you imagine Mahama paying hi ...

    Yes, he is corrupt and all that but don't believe that he paid his brother $200 million. I heard Kennedy Agyapong on the radio and tje amount he mentioned was $20 million and not $200 million.

    Anyway, you will sound more c ...

    Fellow Ghanaians,

    GERSIS, you are a disgraceful, envious and disgusting Ewe for attacking the writer without any plausible reason.

  • ARSENAL 8 years ago

    I Doubt if the Pope can use that car on Ghana roads even just for a mile. Comparing a G-8 country like the states to Ghana makes no reason as this author makes no logical reason with his article.

    Mahama travels from Accra ...

  • ELINAM 8 years ago

    Mahama is NOT the smartest president in even within ECOWAS let alone Africa. There's no sign of wisdom and a school of thought on which one can pin his legacy.
    He takes directions from the French,UK and the American Embas ...

    You need to find an article written your vernacular. You are not an English reader.

  • OFOSUAA 8 years ago

    The problem with President Mahama is that, as a layman Psychologist, I have observed him to be a man who wants to be liked by everybody and as such, he says things he doesn't even believe in to impress his audience. Anybody w ...

    This is deliberate lie, And how did you know that, where is the prove.

  • MARCUS AMPADU 8 years ago

    As a layman in psychology, minuah Sarpong, you should have tried your best to be as objective as possible. I am afraid your observation was highly subjective.

    Your psychoanalysis endeavor was tinged with political bias. Yo ...

    I know what the Pope message was and I believe the majority of the world got the import of his message too.

    A lot of us don't need a hypocrite like President Mahama to sanctimoniously pontificate to us about the Pope's mod ...

    Psychologically, I believe you are among those people in the world who think climate change is made up, and doesn't exist. I don't think you are a climate change denier, minuah Sarpong.

  • ELINAM 8 years ago

    Climate change is NOT what is on the menu but character is. Those who got and those ain't period.

  • Kwane Joe 8 years ago

    Explain yourself Elinam; I don't understand your message. Break it down for me.

  • SARPONG 8 years ago

    The issue is not about climate change or whether I believe it or not. I believe in protecting the environment and climate change is real but if you are asking me if 'I AM TREE HUGGER', then the answer is noneedI am not.

    IT IS INEXCUSABLE FOR GHANA TO SUFFER THE LEVEL OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT, POVERTY, ILLITERACY AND DISEASE, 57 GOOD YEARS AFTER THE "BLACK MAN STARTED TO MANAGE HIS OWN AFFAIRS". AND OUR JOHN MAHAMA GOES TO CLOWN AT THE UN WITH A C ...

    My fellow, OKATAKYIE SARPONG, of course, there is a gap between what President John Mahama says and what he does! His speech at the 70th UN General Assembly which touched on Pope Francis modest Fiat 500L car and his humility ...

    Well said Lonto. Akans refer to individuals like Mahama as "NHWEHWE ANIMUU" (goody-goody two-shoes)

    Ghanaians have shirt memory.He will deny he made such comments and people will believe.

    Marcus,Sarpong was responding directly to Mahama's message (ie the subject).Being objective though via a political lense doesn't negate any statement the man made.where is the frugality in gov't expenditure?
