  Read your history books about revolutions and nation-building.
  
  Historical figures and dynamic leaders are made of STERNER STUFF!

  The are some who are still lost and don't understand this election so will elaborate. This is a conflict between the opportunity to create a true democratic state against the insidious ideological based state. Ideological states are authoritarian and deny the true expression of the positive will of the people we saw this in Nazi Germany , communist Soviet Union , North Korea , Islamic Taliban Afghanistan , Green revolution Libya , Baas party Iraq , Syria , communist Yugoslavia, Erdogan's Islamic Turkey and Ceausescu's Romania to name a few. Since they all refused a peaceful transition of power ended up by bringing sorrow, misery and tragedy to their own people primarily. Soviet communists always won 103% of the vote every time there were elections but today can even get 1%. Today in Ghana we see party commissars like Koku , Nketia , Boamah defending a rotten corrupt govt as that is symptomatic of such regimes that they are blind to the atrocities and injustices against their own people . People don't progress based on merit or hard work but are selected by the oligarchy . Nazis Taliban or fake revolutionaries do not see the evil they promote and eventually pay the price themselves in a pool of blood . Erdogan said their rockets are the Mosques now we know he supports Islamic criminal terror yet our govt gave them land to build a replica of Aya Sophia and quietly establish Muslim terror in our country . In Ghana we have a mix of and ideological regime with its foundations built on tribalism , hegemony , Islamic discrimination and anti Akan hatred so that a neo colonialist state meant to exploit the wealth of the Akans . Some may say we exaggerate but then i ask them have they not noticed that 99% of free thinking independent minded Ghanaians whether in the diaspora or in Ghana are all unified in their opposition to this regime of corruption and terror . Yes kumi preku ,all die be die because we shall never surrender or be intimidated. To the hypocrite NDC i ask are really ready to take a bullet for Mahama because we are ready to die for our freedom as there can be no peace without justice . No development in a nation divided . The choice is theirs , if they refuse a peaceful transition of power then force will be applied.No where in the world in a true democracy can a govt plagued by so many scandals of corruption , mismanagement , incompetence and negative economic indicators hope to retain power . This only happens in ideological regimes who do not answer to the people , such is the NDC today.we are ready for war and let it be know no ideological regime has ever won a war against its own people so we know come what may victory is ours . Already our true allies globally have made it known where it counts that we shall not be alone though i know we don't need their help to boot out this criminal menace and political hooligans .Any soldier, policeman or security agent who shoots at our people will never be forgiven and we will pursue to the ends of the earth , Ghana belongs to the Akans . All of you participating in this criminal regime will also be punished and know we see everything and are not blind .The cold war is over and now the era of authoritarian ideological states be them Islamic , communist , Nazi , Taliban , hegemonic ayibe , or tribalism pepeni is over ,whether they like it or not.Any civilization , religion or system of governance that glorifies human sacrifice or murder God has wiped off the face of the earth so will happen to this pepeni/ayigbe Islamic mafia and the boko harem ISIS allies in Turkey

  All leaders have their good and bad side and so is Castro but to me, as the US was all over that small island trying to eliminate him, he did what he should do to stay alive.
  
  Castro outlived ten US presidents and there was a prediction he made in 1973 that will live with me forever. He said that the US will talk to Cuba if they elect a black president and the world will have a Latin America Pope. That statement was prophetic and I see the man as a God sent for his people.

  Not many could be as selfless as Castro in spite all his fault. He did what was right during his time. Cuba are enjoying good health how about Ghanaians in Ghana?
