When it comes to politics and corruption in Ghana it is always the kettle calling the pot black. As far as the average Ghanaians mentality is for individual gain, I don't see a sacrifice for the collective whole of the country. However, there is always a first, but I doubt if the "beautiful ones are yet born".

If the corrupt and incompetent Cow-Meat Mahama could preside over Ghana for 6 years, Nana Addo will stay for 12 years... after that Dr. Bawumia will continue.

Plain and simple NDC is not a political party but the megaphone of a hegemony/tribalism treacherous insidious movement of Ewes Northerners and haters/traitors of the Akan. They wooed and deceived the left wing aspirations and heritage of the Akan people but installing a few naive genuine patriots or impeccable characters like Mills to front their true criminal genocide agenda. Any nation that allows murder of the leaders to go unpunished no matter the lying propaganda justification is doomed to failure and that is a fact of history , NDC has continuously found it necessary to murder all Akan leaders starting from Kotoka's wickedness, to Acheampong and now Mills. We Akans can not call these Ewes and Northerners brothers if their most intimate desires is our destruction stemming from deep pathological hate and is manifested in their style of govt which has always been very destructive and retrogressive , be it the buga buga rawlings or the family and friends corruption/looting of Mahama. We thank Akans of the left wing inclination for showing their support to remove this criminal mafia by not excising their right not to vote and therefore leaving the NDC high and dry.They know the Akans are half right wing and the other half left wing so their calculation election engineering required that they stick to the hegemony of the Ewes and fantical islamic discrimination mixed with tribalism of the northerners and they would win hands down every election, little did they know that the ideological left wing of the Fanti speaking people and the Brong Ahafo are far more sophisticated and can not be fooled by no one forever. Next year we will see and witness the true extent of the destruction and expose with real proofs the colonization by Ewes and Northerners of the wealth of the Akans . Justice should be enforced not these fake laws that have so many loop holes that true justice in the interest of the people is elusive. We witness how thew Mahama family now have control of all natural resources including reserves of Bauxite and iron ore so frustrated and sabotaged every effort at industrialization and construction of railway networks as they did not want the people to get wealthy by adding value and exporting . Its easier to manipulate ignorant illiterate impoverished people. They snear scoff and laugh as they know these and other impediments and obstacles will seriously slow down NPP's deep desire to secure a true development for our people , yes the battle goes on and the only way is to cut these pepeni/ayigbe out of our country so we gain new independence.

Ghanaians should manage or perhaps lower their expectations of Akufo-Addo administration. The reason is that Akufo-Addo is a product of Ghana's corrupt environment and he is expected to behave as such. He may not be corrupt per se, but does he have the temerity to rein in his corrupt officials without succumbing to the entreaties of chiefs, pastors and opinion leaders in the country? As long as the 'ny3bro' system persists in Ghana psyche, and the 'fama Nyame' syndrome is still the tall order of the day in Ghana's socio-economic milieu, Akufo-Addo cannot behave outside the cultural bondage - he is a product of the perfidious Ghanaian environment.

We all witnessed the advent of Kufuor's administration where he screamed at the top of his voice, 'zero tolerance for corruption'. It turned out Kufour himself became so corrupt in the league of JD Mahama. Kufuor was a product of the stinky environment, and was therefore no surprise he became corrupt.

As I have maintained all the time, no present political leader living in the country at the moment has the wherewithal or the dexterity to uplift the country, notwithstanding Akufo-Addo and Bawumia - they are all losers. Ghana needs a person from the diaspora who have lived and worked in the western democracy for many years and adept at western financial systems to lead the country. The country can no longer trust the local leadership.

His untrammelled desire to rule this country is primarily because he is seriously broke and he wants to enrich his family before the good Lord decides to call him.

Misrepresentations, lies, tears of hope!

We see that there is a whole paragraph on Kwame Nkrumah, but merely a solitary sentence on Kufour.

So, it's a Happy New Year 2017 and as such we are able to find time to answer some of the misrepresentations and false premises that at best only show a general lack of information and situational awareness about some of the items Phillip Baidoo has tackled in that paper.

At worst, they are lies, and more lies.

Beside, we have a deal for Phillip Baidoo, one he will never want to refuse, if he is half as serious as Serious Akufo Addo.

1. Official Record/History: For the purposes of this discussion, Gen Ankrah was known by the Johnson CIA at least 2 years before the Feb 1966 coup that overthrew Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP, the party that championed and won Unitary Ghana for Ghanaians. Ankrah was merely kept in waiting for a group of traitors to appear - and Kotoka and the other military/police rascals merely became pawns in a larger treasonous act against Unitary Ghana, in 1966.

But, it is simply-minded to suppose it all started in 1966.

Today, people ought to know that this is the same Unitary Ghana the NLM party, Rascal Busia, Danquah, and their latter day incarnation, Akufo Addo, stridently opposed).

We don't say!

Want evidence?

Just Google "Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe + "Rascal Busia"!

2. Nobody has ever proven Kwame Nkrumah stole Ghana's money and built mansions, hotels, etc., or that he sold Ghanaian assets to friends for pennies on the dollar.

So long for that solitary paragraph on Kufour (and Akufo Addo)!

Sure, Akufo Addo was AG and Min of Justice.

What difference did he make when "...Kufuor’s administration was not spared the tag of corruption, which mainly led to the defeat of Nana at his first attempt...".
Love to hide stuff, right?

Hope and tears of hope!

Looks like Phillip Baidoo does not really like to talk about Oil, maybe because he realizes that the NDC have screwed Ghana to the tune of more than $6 billion thanks to the contract system Kufour and AG Akufo Addo left in the drawers for the "corrupt" Mills/Mahama government(s).

Go figure!

3. We read that "...Energy seems to be our biggest problem. Fortunately, it appears the right keys have been plucked with the oncoming $7 billion ENI gas project...".

Sure, it is a $7 billion ENI gas project. But, that is probably the only accurate information Ghanaians will ever get if Akufo Addo does not abrogate the fraudulent and predatory Act 619 that is based on the racket bequeathed the NDC by you know what, Kufour/Akufo Addo's NPP.

Surely, it can never be merely increasing the size of the GDP, particularly much of it is repatriated "foreign incomes".

How much of the revenues (percentage, if he prefers) does Phillip Baidoo know/think Ghana is going to earn, as sovereign owner of the non-renewable gas?

Tell us, Phillip Baidoo!

Will it be 47%, 57%. 37%. 27%, 17%?

So, rather than begging and hoping, why don't Phillip Baidoo ask Akufo Addo to directly address the oil contracts and Act 619.

Shouldn't Serious Akufo Addo tell Ghanaians how much of total revenues (%) Ghana will thenceforth receive under his corruption-free government?

Let's know what you get, Massa Phillip Baidoo!

"Because we currently have the potential to grow the national economy by a minimum of 10% each year."

"The possibilities are within the range of 12 and 14 percent. To that effect, by the end of Nana’s eight years we can easily double the size of the economy. What I am writing is not just brewing out of my imaginations. Energy seems to be our biggest problem. Fortunately, it appears the right keys have been plucked with the oncoming $7 billion ENI gas project."

An admission of Mahama's achievements, which the writer believes will be the foundation of Akuffo Addo's success. We heard different stories from the NPP and Bawumia.

Can you ever write without the use of insults and abusive words? Can we grow up and be civil in our discussions? Please let us not pollute the mind belt with insults because it comes back to affect us all. We all use stuff in the mind belt whenever we think and if it is polluted with insults and falsehood, we become contaminated and before long we also start to tell lies. That is the truth so please let us make these discussions without insults.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. But truth is that Ghana will still succeed and do better without Akufo Addo and Bawumia. Those of you who have so much confidence in Bawumia in particular should be prepared for the worst performance of our economy in the next 4 years or 8 years.

Who ever comes to power and works with the 1992 constitution has intentions to steal from Ghana, the 1992 constitution has so many loop holes that allows political parties that assume office to make themselves rich and get away with it. If NANA ADDO, does not amend the constitution with his majority in parliament to do away with the indemnity clues and other unnecessary laws then he is also coming in to ???? Case money like president kuffour and mahama did, no one in Ghana should be protected by any law including the president when it comes to issue of managing the country, because we as a country we have had enough of this senseless expenditures by governments that has come and gone. Take Ghana at 50 for instance there was no need for then NPP government to spend that amount of money on celebrations whiles sick women were sleeping on hospital floors, senseless expenditure, The NDC government were just giving out money to their party supporters in the name of judgement debt. All the institutions that are supposed to check public officials from wrong doing are all been controlled and appointed by the governments of the day, all the institutions are toothless because of government interferences, we the people of Ghana must arise against injustice in the system,
