"THE INCOMPETENT" JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA is the only president in Ghana that has failed with opportunities that have come his way at the micro level to demonstrate competency in his leadership.

I see the lazy Ewe Dekportor each time in hamburg drunk and wearing the same over size paled suit in Afro shops talking political bullshit while other are at work striking for their daily bread for their families. LAZY EWE!!!

Can the author tell me one thing that Nana will do to please himself and those in his region, I mean, the Volta Region?

On the other hand, if rat-like creatures like JJ, Mahama etc can lead, why can't Nana? Name one thing that Mahama did when he was in parliament? Also, apart from usurping power through the gun, name one thing that JJ did?

I will prefer a leader with a deep sense of thinking or, simply put, commonsense than one with chain of degrees but very stupid like Mahama who loves to accept garbage into his country; Gitmo prisoners are example.

I hope you know Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg; both dropped out of college but with deep sense of thinking, look at their achievement? How many people with degrees can match them? Nana is not a lawyer but with commonsense, he has a law firm that had trained a whole lot of lawyers. Have you heard of Frank Sinatra? He even dropped out of high school but went on to become one of the best Hollywood actors due to his deep sense of thinking. That is the type of leaders we need in Ghana.

Look at Mahama, he one of the most stupid president in modern times. A good leader will never accept prisoners and tell his people that he did that with compassion. What kind of compassion is that?

Pellicles some of us have been here for a while and are fully aware of your legendry anti Ewe comments in the past. We are all fully aware that the NDC has failed but the issue here is not about Ewes though the writer has one Ewe name he might not even be a full blooded Ewe. We don't know but what we know is that a lot has happened in the NPP and we question if Nana is really in charge. Now if the man cant even control wrong doers in his own party how is he going to govern this messy crazy nation? There are many non Ewes asking the same question though they may not express themselves in public for fear of been attacked as you have done.

My brother is married to an Ewe lady and there is no animosity against her. I do not hate ewes but the fact is "some of you" from the Volta region seems to follow blindly and they dare anyone to say that. That is an undeniable fact.

Can you tell me why the deep hatred towards Nana by some of your people? Do you want to tell me that NDC, as a party, had no internal problems and do hold Mahama responsible for that?

The author has made a very sensible statements. Indeed Ghana need a selfless leader who cares about the needs and wants of his people not a narcissistic person or self-important with arrogant attitude like Akufo Addo. However, as much said, WHAT ABOUT HIS ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS? The is important because if he is really well educated he would have known what is LEADERSHIP SKILLS and what is expected of him. Thank you Mr Author. WE WANT TO KNOW FROM AKUFO ADDO.

We do need to start a national conversation on the necessary criteria of competency we expect those who wish to be president of Ghana to possess. It shouldn't be based on partisanship, ethnicity, religious affiliation, or likability.

Is Mr. Dekportor's article based on his ethnicity, political affiliation, or a figment of his imagination?

We cannot assume that flag bearer A is competent, but flag bearer B is incompetent.
The judgement must be based on criteria of competency.

If the current national leadership had a better competency credentials the economy of Ghana wouldn't have bled and collapsed!

Inate dislike for the person of Akufo Addo shouldn' drive someone to turn a blind eye to the reality on the ground that it's all about leadership. President Mahama and his NDC have clearly failed the nation. Go they must and they will!

A speculative view based on a perceived small sample size cannot outweigh a reality track of a huge record of incompetency marked by reckless looting of state coffers, corruption of varying shades and colours cum wanton dissipation of taxpayers money.

Only an insensitive and partisan person would want the current leadership to stay in power to continue unleaship bad leadership and hardship on Ghanaians! Just maybe only someone who does not buy from the Ghanaian market directly on daily basis and has lost the real touch of what ordinary citizens go through everyday would be stiff-necked not vouch for a change in leadership be it for Akuffo Addo or whoever but NEVER again Mahama and or NDC!!! At least not in the next 4 years after 2016!

Prior to any person being appointed a 'Minister of State', in Ghana, their background & qualifications must be verified by a Vetting Committee. I believe that it is a criminal offence to provide information to deliberately mislead the 'Vetting Committee'? Therefore, if Nana Addo has lied about being a qualified Lawyer why are the NDC Government not seeking a prosecution?
Also, how did Nana Addo manage to by-pass the checks of the 'Vetting Committee' if he does not have a Law Qualification? Let us not forget that he served as the Attorney General & Foreign Minister.

ALL THESE FOLKS HAVE TO CONDEMENED EVEN AFTER THEIR ''DEATH'''FOR THE WRONG THEY DID TO THE PEOLPE AT THEIR CONSTITUENCIES AND GHANA AS A WHOLE.

IT IS THE SAME UNDERDEVELOPMENT THAT IS TO BE FOUND AT THE CONS´TITUENCY OF HIS SO CALLED ASSISTANT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BAWUMIA.
