  We are now at the crossroads era whereby seemly insignificant decisions will have a serious impact on our future peace and prosperity. We observe the antics of Erdogan in Turkey , Trump's racism in The USA , mahama's tribalism mixed with Islamic proliferation in Ghana , ISIS in the Islamic world and notice the same trends in Hitler's Nazi Germany , JJ's fake revolution with a legacy of hegemony and tribalism. The common factor in all these situations is the seemingly popular support in the rhetoric and politics of division and hate that end up in a tragic misery for the same people .Ghana retrogressed under JJ which is evident for all to see yet his system still has a stranglehold vice grip today due to the constitution of 92. Innocent Men of divine wisdom are shunned at best or lynched or even killed as we see manifested in the desires of these Monte FM panelists . We have a government that doesnt know of the industrial revolution and assumes that by building hospitals , schools and roads just as the Romans did 2000 years ago would secure development , they are unaware that its all about railways and job creation through factories with added value products, primary ,secondary and tertiary industry as we see from the positive experiences of South Korea , China , Russia Europe and the USA. We see incompetent idiots as govt appointees who couldn't manage a taxi business as realize the only motivation is the freebies , free accommodation , all electricity , water rent paid for by the state , policeman , drivers , dispatch riders ,cooks , houseboys etc all free , petrol food , medical all free and the list goes on. Former mayor of London and now minister for foreign affairs went to work on a bicycle the day we see our ministers going to work in tro tro we will know we have a govt of the people and by the people. These only use politics to escape the harsh realities our people face and by promoting politics of division and hate secure that the people remain blind , brainwashed and foolish. As long as Gas , Ewes and Northerners continue to hate Akans they will never see the true light of one people , one nation and one destiny so we recommend that the country be divided up peacefully and each go find their own destinies. This is a system of governance with institutionalized some are above the law , discrimination leading to the absence of true freedom and justice. We insist the Monte criminals be given the maximum possible sentence so the people know the era of mob rule , buga buga terrorism , lynch the Akan or let the blood of Akans flow is over

  The vast majority of timber firms that existed in Ghana Pre-Rawlings Era had no regard whatsoever for the environment.The destroyed pristine forests with reckless abandon for their own selfish ends. Kuffour Timbers, Y F Timber Ltd or that of your beloved father.
  Rawlings, did his best. Every Hero Has His/Her Fault. He was the one who brought a bit of "sanity" into the un-regulated timber industry in Ghana. Enough of this crap!

  The vast majority of timber firms that existed in Ghana Pre-Rawlings Era had no regard whatsoever for the environment.They destroyed pristine forests with reckless abandon for their own selfish ends. Whether it was Glikstens, Briscoe, Kuffour Timbers, Y F Timber Ltd or that of your beloved father. Rawlings, did his best. He was the one who brought a bit of "sanity" into the un-regulated timber industry in Ghana. Every hero has his/her fault. The people in Norway, Sweden, Denmark etc are not complaining about their brand of socialism, are they?

  Ok JJ,how much did you take from Muamar Gaddafi to overthrow the Limman administration? Some of us know your 31st Dec. revolution was funded from Libya. Just because the Ghana government under Limman had voted against Gaddafi @ a AU meeting. Gaddafi's thanks to JJ was to allow Ghanaian teachers to flood Libyan schools. Hmmmmmm!!

  During those hard times, did Rawlings demand the money from Abacha, or was it out generousity that the Nigerian president gave it to him in support of our revolution?

  Ignorant comment. Rawlings was then a civilian ruler. Money was given in 1996 and the story came out in 1998. What revolution are you talking about. Did Rawlings think whether the money probably representEd the proceeds of corruption or plain theft from Government coffers. Nii let no one mislead you with the tribal crap. You are better than that and Ghana can do better.
