  You see! This hypocrite solomon Kwawukume is obviously talking about oil revenue money that the corrupt NDC thieves stolen, but he is rather beating about the bush instead of calling a spade a spade and tell the general public exactly how Ghana lost such a gargantuan figure of money in that short time of oil production.
  
  Shame unto you all!!!

  Some of you NPP blokes are so degraded that you'd stoop very low to indulge in all kinds of calumnious acts. A pity this is not limited to the lower ranks like this jerk that goes about assuming the names of decent people who don't hide behind monikers to post insults. Their leaders are even worse and set the very bad examples for them to follow: let us kill other people, all die be die, we are the source of the wealth of Ghana and so should be ruling the country, others are inferior but take all the jobs, etc., etc. Obviously, they heard of the Ewe adage that goes like thus: egbor nye mitsi tsoe be ye gborme gblem me nya be ye ntor fe gornu gblem ye le. Translated for the semi-illiterates here to understand as: the goat wey dey shit diarrhea shit around the neighbour thinking it was soiling the neighbour no sabi say ibe his own anus wey it dey soil.
  
  When this jerk started his mischief and used the name of my soul brother, Nyebro Yaw, he reacted with alarm and wrote a full article to denounce him. I was a little surprised and wondered why he wasted his time to do that, as if he didn't know the dastardly nature of the people he was dealing with. At that very moment, they were attacking each other in the press, writing articles to insult and condemn each other, and not long afterwards the brother of their Chairman led an acid throwing attack on a regional chairman leading to his untimely and painful death, and now the latest ongoing fracas in their party. So, stealing our names to write negative things about those of us opposed to them is hardly something we should be alarmed about. Some of us knew since the '80s that they have been planning and trying to gather courage to start killing us! One of us, the much cherished among the Anlos, the late Dr Kodzi, even wrote a book in the early 1990s in which he pointed out the Anlos as the ones to be targeted, so who cares what Ahoofe writes about us, since we had heard far worse? But we are not perturbed at all. When their maniac called for the killing of Gas and Ewes, not even a single person considered worth it his while to mention or discuss it on the two Ewe forums, Eweland and CEANA, I belong to. When I called Ghana to ask about the reactions of Ewes, I was told not to waste my credit; nobody had time for such people. If they wanted to kill them, let them start. They were waiting! Phew! It ended up in laughter.
  
  You see, jerks like this are not properly brought up and must be put in their correct places: caged. Such people are known among Ewes and Adangmes as "dzimakpla" people - born and not bred. Those whose parents tried but failed to inculcate good breeding in them are called by them "kplamase", "bred but didn't hear." These two words are among the most perjorative insults one can find among Ewes and Adangmes, who btw, settled among Ewes in the Ada area after the rise of and subsequent attacks of the Akwamus on them too. That was long before the subsequent setback of the Akwamus themselves inflicted by the combined forces of the Gas and their hired Akyem mercenaries which saw the Akwamus fleeing to settle in present Akwamufie centered around the Akosombo area in the Volta gorge. Incidentally, the very place the Nkonyas (some Guans) had earlier sought refuge when the Akwamus had seized their own territory in the Akwapim hills, forcing the Nkonyas to flee further into the present VR.
  
  Why am I saying all this when this topic is about the abominable losses Ghanaians are incurring thanks to their corrupt, greedy but ignorant and stupid wannabe leaders? Well, the Francis Kwarteng whose name the jerk assumed to write his nonsense is one Asante who is most properly bred, most educated, extremely well read and had gone beyond all that to transform himself from the "proud Asante" who turns his nose on others 'cos he knew that his ancestors used to slave raid on them or accept slave tributes from them as vassals, knew that the Anlos - Anwona, Awuna?? - were the real "natural allies" Afrifa mentioned in his book, Operation Cold, being one reason he agreed to join the coup plot when Kotoka took him up to the Tamale road to brief him for the first time about the coup plot, and who helped the Asantes to attain their "glories" deeds and kept up the fight when the writing was on the wall. Ok, he also wrote that the pistol Kotoka was wearing while he was not armed was very convincing. The man had an uncanny instinct for saving his skin, judging from the letter he wrote to Kutu Acheampong. So Francis would never come down here to insult me and my family. Only an Asante who is either a dzimakpla or a kplamase will join some other Akans with bones to pick with Anlos or Ewes in general will do that!
  
  At this very moment, Nyebro Francis is aware that I have on the cooler for years now my take on the ethnic imbroglio of the past in which nobodies ass is left ungored. Nor, holy cows spared. Perhaps, it was high time I opened the Pandora Box of Nasties.

  Listen, C.Y. ANDY-K, you can start to open your so-called Pandora Box of Nasties or not, that remains your own choice, but fact is we have read that the Kwawukume "anwona" family are all thieves, something you people inherited from your late father who stole (highly dutied) cars left umcalimed at the Tema port, using his position that time as an officer. Other tribes don't do that apart from your people.

  This is what the Kwawukume family does. Your pathetic, inconsequential family, no one in your whole town and in your whole ethnic group can do this, as a Kwawukume has already done it. They can only emulate him. Think about that and swallow your green bile, dzimakplavi!
  
  Btw, for the unassuming, my father didn't work for Customs in Tema Harbour but for the Acct-Gen's Dept. He even stopped driving before he was posted to supervise the accounting section of the Long Room in Tema and none under him can vouch that he own a car. Yaw Adu Larbi of What Do You Know Fame was one such person.

  Media briefing
  
  The President of the Family Health Medical School, Professor Yao Kwawukume, briefed the media during a tour of the school, and said the school had been accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) and was affiliated to the School of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Ghana.
  
  He said the school had collaborations with some medical schools in the United States of America and Europe, where students could interact with their mates.
  
  He said the school would begin with 50 fresh students and would offer scholarships to less privileged, brilliant students who qualify to study medicine.
  
  Support
  
  Professor Kwawukume said some students from poor communities who performed creditably in the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination were unable to pursue their dreams of becoming medical doctors because their families could not afford the cost of their education.
  
  He said the school would take care of such students and train them to serve in their communities after they had completed their study.
  
  Professor Kwawukume reiterated that the demand for medical officers in the country was very high and the government alone could not shoulder the responsibility of satisfying that demand.

  Nyebro Yao,
  
  Adjoa Wanagara has nothing to say except to impersonate me. This is what they do when "scientific" assail them, then they resort to "tribalism" and name-calling.
  
  Shame on him!

  With Our oil,gold and cocoa This irresponsible president John Dramani Mahama administration borrowed $3 billion every month from both domestic and international market with increase of 10.7% unprecedented and unheard of on the face of this very planet.Proceeds from oil,cocoa and gold don't go to paid out debt or development projects but borrowing to initiate them, so where is our hard earning from out oil, gold and cocoa goes since they don't pay our debt and development of the country ?

  QUESTION: If Mohammed Amin Adam of ACEP is aware that Ghana’s Oil Contracts are bad deals (which GIGS has also identified as being illegal, ultra vires, unconstitutional and not in conformity and compatible with existing laws and UN Charters and Resolutions on Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources), why is ACEP leading the CSO Platform on Oil and Gas and other NGOs to have this exploitative Bill passed into law in Ghana?

  Is anyone aware of how the FOCs had bought off the key leaders, players and gatekeepers in Ghana? Check how the $669m Tullow alone claimed it has spent in a year on its social responsibilities and you'd begin to understand why no one is taking up Efo Solo and GIGS' challenge; only deadly silence greets them!
