  NOBODY has written the HISTORY of the NDC and Mahama but with the PASSAGE of TIME THEY have traced their OWN HISTORY.What we are ACCUSING them of is THEIR OWN MAKING and CREATION.NDC and Mahama have not simply stolen BUT THEY have REALLY ROBBED the PEOPLE OF GHANA of OUR WEALTH and they CANNOT DENY this FACT cos Mahama himself KNOWS that he has PERSONALLY ROBBED GHANA. IT is only HISTORY and TIME that can tell HOW MUCH.

  Let me take issues with two points and assertions you made. It is not because of John Mahama but inspite of the stupid decision made by prior governments including Kufour era decisions about the oil discovery. For starters the very argument you make about investing US$220 million in a single bank can be said of the wisdom in granting a 3% lifetime reward payment to the EO group. Have you heard of a finders fee in the UK? If so how do you, in your disdain for president Mahama, square the idea that the governments take of oil profits is not guaranteed but the 3% payment to the EO group is guaranteed? You may also want to know that the members of Ghana's parliament in their childish wisdom (thanks to people like you making decisions for Ghana from afar) chose to spend future oil earning through their annual budget appropriations for money not yet realized. Can you point to any nation that ever relied on oil revenues for its budgetary decisions that still stand at the height of its economic numbers of late? Not the Saudis, Iran, Iraq or Kuwaitis, not even in Texas of all places or the Canadian Tar sands. Check your facts before attacking Mahama; our next door neighbor Nigeria is not doing so great either from its oil revenues.
  
  Secondly you might as well suggest that the US$250 million should have been spread across all banks in Ghana; why stop at only two? If you must attack Mahama on banking, finance or economic decisions please start by analyzing where Ghana was in 2008, what global economies have been and the poor decisions made in the past that are bearing negative fruits on our economy. If Ghana was having its streets flowing with milk and honey Ghanaians would not have changed governments no matter how dumb we are.

  Mr Mensah, you argue like a drowning man. I did not say two, but at least two regarding the investment of the $250 million. And I did not put a limit on the leadership question. However, President dumsor happens to be the lea ...

  Mr Mensah, you argue like a drowning man. I did not say two, but at least two regarding the investment of the $250 million. And I did not put a limit on the leadership question. However, President dumsor happens to be the leader of the pack and he got the sting of my pen. Besides, you were ranting on things I did not even bother to discuss, which makes you very desperate in your defence of the most incompetent leader to rule Ghana.
