  People occupying special position have progressively use it positively to impact on its people? To lobby for projects dear to their hearts. To only think you can do something for your folks when you are in authority smacks of crass incompetence. Going down memory lane on Nana Addo in power and as opposition leader
  
  1. Nana Addo as the de-facto Vice President to Kuffour, sheepishly sat down for the Main Accra – Kumasi highway to be diverted from Abuakwa State leaving the town at its current state of mess. Abuakwa is a royal town and remains a royal town. Anyone who has passed there in recent time know it is a pale of shadow its past because it has been cut off from the main Accra - Kumasi highways.
  All the towns along the main highways are developing at a much faster rate.
  Akyem Abuakwa town roads were very bad and with Nana Addo’s position then he could have lobbied for a state of art design to pass through the town. As a leader then with all the powers he wielded instead of lobbying the government he was out there challenging the authority of the president KUFFOUR.
  Atta Mills even whilst in opposition lobbied Kuffour government for the rehab of kotokuraba Market, Robert Mensah stadium and many other projects. It was for that reason Kuffour confer on him an honorary award. Even in opposition he was still working for the betterment of his people. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  2. We all know AL haji Aliu Mahama was the Donkey NPP rode on to castle, he couldn’t kill a fart. Nana Addo was actually the de-facto vice President and knew the water problems facing his region long enough before NPP came to power, and could not lobby the Government he was a part for 8 years to solve the water issue. It took 2 years of a certain Pepeni (tani) to come fix that problem. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  3. Honorable Atta Akyea poured out his frustration on Mahama Administration for not siting the only proposed University in the ER at Akyem Abuakwa but to Somanya and to the Krobo land. Building a University in the ER was an NDC campaign promise. Nana Addo and his litigant chief sat there sheepishly thinking because they are royals, Mahama the slave will come begging oh please I want to site the university here oh please, please give me a land. They felt too big to go discuss issues with Mahama they were busy challenging his authority and organizing ABGENAA DEMO. When the Chiefs of the Krobos Land were busy lobbying for massive infrastructure development Nana Addo was in court challenging Mahama for rigging election. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  4. Long, long time ago before NPP came to power Galamsey activities had begun at ER and destroying water bodies. Oh my beloved, great River Birrim Abena. It was beautiful we use to go fishing Birrim Abena at Bunso. Nana Addo saw this menace and did nothing to stop it until it got destroyed. Now ER had gradually overtaken WR as the headquarters of galamsey activities. His litigant chief sat there sheepishly watching. But folks if it were “kume Preko, wie me preko, shie me Preko, sie me Preko” yes you are assured of Nana’s acumen. Patapaa ahaaaa. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  
  5. Every region boost of traditional forest reserve. Atiwa forest in the pride of the people of Eastern Region. This reserve is now so depleted. Every leader, whether Majority or Minority lobby for projects dear to their heart to area they come from or their Region of Origin. The Ashanti’s will say “Kuntun whan a n’akyi n’are ko” literary means when the trap snaps it goes back home. Nana Addo has holed himself at his Nima Ghetto and only interested in illegal demonstration and attending funerals where accolades will be showered on him “sa Mmerane”. Look at the wonderful things Dr. Akwasi Ndoum also a former Presidential aspirant is doing at Elmina. The Elmina Sharks, coconut groves etc. What can we say about Nana Addo? Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  6. There is no gainsaying that Akyem Abuakwa a royal town where Nana Addo was MP for 12 years. It used to be one of the big towns along the Accra – Kumasi stretch but now what do we see an ordinary Village. Look at the lorry station is never worth that village. I find it difficult to understand why Nana Addo cannot team up with the Chief litigant as the great Otomfour Nana Osei Tutu is doing in Kumasi. No wonder he is called King Solomon. He is using Mahama to develop his town.
  
  Oh Lest I forget just yesterday the Easter Monday around the Golden tulip area I saw a sea of people. I thought it was some wild demonstration. Then I asked my beautiful Wife what’s happening here? She said it was the holyday makers visiting Rattan Park commissioned by Mahama. I signed how ungrateful these people are. What has Nana Addo done to think he is competent? He couldn’t even dig a borehole for his town folks in a period of challenging water crisis. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  7. Nana Addo as leader of NPP would go down as one of the worst leaders in their chequered history. With his divisive tendencies he has managed to send his regional party chairman to the slaughter house. Followed by a Polling Station agent also in Kumasi to the slaughter house. Nana Addo operates well in a divided house. He is always quick to abandon his campaign to attend the funeral. Donations has always been one way cola, or assorted drinks and a cash not exceeding 1,000 GHC. A promise to look after the children of the deceased until they complete the University. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  8. Never was there in a history of the NPP party that a party chairman would be sacked thought a coup d’état. . Nana Addo during his tenure as head of NPP ensured the exact opposite. Paul Afoko was kicked out because Nana did not trust him. He was first and foremost a Frafra Man (Atia) from Bongo. Second a friend to his political nemesis Kuffour so he must go. Sometimes he thinks people are not smart. The plan to oust hatch. He will quickly take a leave for the execution to take place to look like he didn’t know anything about it. It’s laughable. The fall out was never anticipated. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  
  
  9. Never was there in a history of the NPP party that a party secretary would be sacked thought a coup d’état. . Nana Addo during his tenure as head of NPP ensured the exact opposite. Kwabena Agyepong was kicked out because Nana did not trust him. He was Kuffour friend so he must go. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????
  10. Never was there in a history of the NPP party that a party Deputy Chairman would be sacked thought a coup d’état. . Nana Addo during his tenure as head of NPP ensured the exact opposite. Sammy Crabbe was kicked out because Nana did not trust him. He was Kuffour friend so he must go. Yet Nana Addo says he is competent. Competent in what????

  An NPP Politician walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive NDC woman. He gives her a quick glance then causally looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" "No", he replies,"I just got this state-of the-art watch, and I was just testing it.." The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What"s so special about it?" The Politician explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically." The lady says, "What"s it telling you now?" Well, it says you're not wearing any panties." The woman giggles and replies "Well it must be broken because I am wearing NDC panties!" The Politician smiles, taps his watch and says, "Damn thing's an hour fast."

  The results of change for change sake is all around us, Alex Baafi, and if it were anything to write home about you will not be asking for change in government again.
  
  What is people friendly and business friendly? Where do you see such a thing? Is it in western developed and industrialized nations? Is it in Asia and the far East to China? Is it in Arab countries? Is it in south American countries; where? Slogans paved way for the foolishness we now live in Ghana and if the results had been any good we will not be talking about change some 60 years after independence. Simply put we like to dream in Ghana and live in lala land mostly but don't have a clue and an inkling on how to make our dreams a reality. Politics of tribe and tribal preferences will never lead to development in Ghana or anywhere else. Tribal preferences and agenda is what have assaulted the Ghanaian sense of morality and left us not knowing right from wrong. An Ashanti or Fanti thief is acceptable and adored by Ashantis and Fantis respectively while others know better. And in the political and tribal atmosphere we have lived since February 1966 we've adjusted to a moral norm where we love our respective tribal political criminals and hate political criminals from other tribes.
  
  Nana Akufo-Addo and Bawumia can't give you they pie-in-the-sky business friendly and people friendly bullshit. They both preach tribal hatred and the best they can do is sell off any national asset left unsold from previous administrations to foreigners since the NPP as a party ideologically believe Ghanaians are incapable of managing our affairs. Kufour and or J.J. Rawlings would not have sold off presumed mismanaged government institutions to foreign interests if they had a clue how to solve problems using Ghanaians. The only thing that can be said about a Ghana politician is they are poor in foresight but damn good at bribery, corruption and stealing.

  Mahama is corrupt and Nana is not, huh? Where did you get that bullcrap of yours from? If Nana The Great Addict is so righteous, why the mystery over his certificate? Why were diplomatic passports issued to drug dealers under his jurisdiction at the foreign affairs portfolio which was so embarrassing that Kufuor was left with no other choice than post him to somewhere else and finally, what happened to the GNPC drill ship after Tsikata was forcibly remove and imprisoned for apparently no reason whatsoever?

  HOW ON EARTH SHOULD THE COMING GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER,2016, BE CLASSIFIED AS A GIANT ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF GHANA.
  
  ONLY THOSE USING POLITICS AS THE ONLY PREOCCUPATION TO MANIPULATE, EMBEZZLE AND STEAL THE RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY WILL PICTURE THE COMING NATIONAL ELECTION AS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY,AND THIS, REFERENCE TO THE SO CALLLED '''PATRIOTS''THE NPP; A CRIMINAL ORGANISATION THAT STOLE THE STATEHOOD OF GHANA, CORRUPTED THE NATION AND SQUANDERED THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS IN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
  
  OPAYIN, HAS PAST ELECTIONS MADE A '''DENT''TOWARDS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA.
  
  WHEN A NATION REFUSES TO PRESSURE ITS EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES,PROFESSORS,UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS TO USE TECHNOLGY, SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION,CURIOUSITY,DISCOVERY, INVENTION AND CREATIIVITY TO ADDRESS INFRSTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT,ECONOMIC GROWTH,JOB CREATION, INCOME AND BETTER STANDRDS OF LIVING THE NATION COLLAPSES AND SINKS INTO EXTREME POVERTY.
  
  SUCH CONTINUED FAILED SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CNTINUES TO BE WITNESSED BY THE VULNERABLE, THE DISADVANTAGED AND LESS FORTUNATE SINCE THE OVERTHROW OF THE CPP UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF KWAME NKRUMAH BY ARMED CRIMINALS IN MILITARY UNIFORMS AND SUPPORTED BY SEMI-LITERATE EDUCATED SIXTY(60)YEARS AGO.
  
  PLEASE,TRY TO KEEP IN MIND,POLITICS IS ABOUT
  REFORMATION,TRANSFORMATION,SOLUTION,
  CHANGES, IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION.
  
  IT IS TIME WE KNOW, WHY WE ARE ECONOMIC BACKWARD, UNDERDEVELOPED AND HEAVILY INDEPTED POOR COUNTRY(HIPC) IN THE WORLD.
  
  IS IT NOT SAD TO SEE THE HARDWORKING COCOA FARMERS AND UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS EARNING THE NATIONS HARD FOREIGN CURRENCY TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS, WAGES AND SALARIES,IMPORTAION OF FOOD ITEMS, PRODUCTS AND ABOVE ALL EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS AND JEEPS FOR USE BY NON-PRODUCTIVE EDUCATED FOR HIGHLIFE,MERRYMAKING AND HONEYMOON IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG IN THE 21st CENTURY AND THIS AMOUNTS TO EXPLOITATION AND PLUNDER OF THE LESS FORTUNATE IN T´HE COUNTRY.
  
  THE WORLD HAS CHANGED SINCE 1945, AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT POLITICS PLAYS IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTRY.
  
  ARE WE NOT SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH.
