My view that both the NDC and NPP are equally corrupt hasn't changed; however, prior to the elections, I felt it would be good for the country if NDC won, rather than the NPP.

My logic is simple: the electorate is growing and maturing. One couldn't come to power, engage in crass corruption, and then fool the electorate into retaining one in office with pie-in-the-sky promises. In other words, corruption shouldn't be rewarded. Period.

Rightly so, some people believe that Mahama would engage in crass corruption like Akuffo Addo did because the latter is term limited and will steal all he can before he leaves office in four years. While I'm not God to see into the future, I doubt this will be the case. If Mahama does so, he risks sending his party into opposition in the next four years. I doubt that the NDC leaders will allow that to happen. Now that prominent parliamentarians have lost their seats, they will start to take the electorate seriously. You can't rob the country and leave everybody else to their own devises. At least, I hope.

Now, all the commenters who live abroad and have no skin in the game and who see the need to advertise their stay abroad must realize that the days of tribal politics may be coming to an end. I heard that people didn't vote in the Ashanti Region as much as the NPP had hoped. Yes, the tribal Wontumi and his ilk had hoped that "their people" would vote massively. They underestimated that, given the choice to feed one's family and pride of tribe affiliation, most people would choose to have the means to feed their families. After all, people have enough common sense to realize that people like Wontumi are benefitting from their parties and leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. They need to be taught a lesson.

Let be honest which ndc member will be willing for his ascert to be declare before assuming position? Forget, they too will take calabash soon for loan. Unless we root out this two political parties Ghana can't witness any development. They have ruled over 40years still nothing to show, what will 4 years do?

This is a fine gentleman Ghanaians have rejected and it clearly shows he loves peace. JDM failed to do in 2016 and 2020 what DMB has done by conceding defeat when the signs were on the wall. Personally, NPP defeat is largely due to locked up funds and JDM has a herculean task to settle thousands of people whose funds are locked up else these same people will turn against him.

There is nothing wrong with NPP or Dr. Bawumia. The problem is tribal hatred for the Ashantis and Akyms that is all. But let me assure all other tribes that Ashantis and Akyems can survive under any harsh "TERRAIN". We are independent minded people but i pitty tribes like ewes and northerners whose hearts are full of evil and criminal intents. Trust me and mark this down, i give Ghanaians less than a year in John mahama's government, Ghanaians will bite their tongue looking for the stone they jealously rejected. Long Live Ashantis and Akyems and downfall to your enemies.

Both ndc and npp are the same period. The brains are the most important to Africa leaders. Ghana needs thinkers like Chinese who can produce for themselves industrial technologies for mass productions. STOP buying from China and produce for yourselves. Africa is rich but the people are poor because the brains of our leaders are not working. Mahama has nothing for Ghana. Bad choice. How many years NDC and NPP have ruled Ghana? Ghanaians are going to cry soon again. Africa problems are thinkers. We Africans don't have thinkers to manage our affairs. Mahama is a bad choice for Ghana. Both NDC and NPP are the same destroyers. These 2 parties have nothing good for Ghana. Ghanaians must vote for smart able thinker who can focus on industrial technologies, science, developments mass, and cheap productions like what China is doing. Africa is very rich continent. The main problem is the BRAIN. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are using their brains. Science, Industrially Technologies are what Africans must look for like we see in China, Japan and Korea. China can feed the whole world, mass production and sell to entire world. Africa leaders can't use their brains. Why do we buy from China? We have the natural resources to produce for ourselves. Ghana has all the natural resources but the people are poor. WATER IS LIFE. Why our leaders can't stop galamsey ? We don't have capable and responsible leaders in the country. A leader who can force citizens to do what is right. Do we have one? The country has become like animal farm. Galamsey, corruption, mismanagements are everywhere in Ghana

Subject: Urgent Help Needed for My Daughter's Health

Dear Fellow Ghanaian,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a heavy heart as my daughter, who is in Basic 7, has fallen seriously ill. She returned from school on December 4, 2024, and since then, her condition has worsened, making it difficult for her to learn just days before her upcoming exams starting on December 9, 2024.

I took her to the hospital, but due to financial constraints, I had to bring her home. Unfortunately, her insurance has expired without my knowledge, and the tests she needs are not covered. With no other options, I’ve decided to turn to traditional medicine in hopes of finding relief for her.

I am currently unemployed and trying to sell a domain name, but I haven’t had any success yet. I am reaching out to ask for any assistance you might be able to provide during this difficult time. Your support would mean the world to us and could make a significant difference in her recovery.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I deeply appreciate any help you can offer.

Please contact at +233506545982 and you will be direct how to help thanks

Warm regards,
Kojo

**Re: **Dr Bawumia’s concession Speech: A Masterclass in Political Maturity, Honesty and Humility**

Concession speeches—those delightful political moments where losing candidates gracefully bow out, often with more flair than a Broadway show. It’s a time-honoured tradition, like Thanksgiving dinner or family arguments over who gets the last piece of the pie. And let’s be honest, some concession speeches are so memorable that they deserve their highlight reels!

Take, for instance, the legendary William Jennings Bryan, who set the bar for concession speeches back in 1896. His telegram to opponent William McKinley was short and sweet: “Congratulations! You won!” It was the political equivalent of saying, “I’m not mad; I’m just disappointed.” Fast forward to today, and we have candidates like Al Gore, who delivered a concession speech so heartfelt in 2000 that it had everything: a joke, a prayer, and just the tiniest hint of bitterness. It was like watching your friend try to smile through the tears at a wedding when they realize they’re not the one getting married.

Then there’s John McCain, who, after losing to Barack Obama in 2008, stood before a crowd that was less than thrilled and said, “I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president.” Talk about taking the high road! Meanwhile, his supporters probably thought, “Can we get a refund on those campaign donations?”

Let’s not forget about Kamala Harris’ recent concession speech after her 2024 presidential bid. She managed to blend hope with a side of shade toward her opponent by saying something like, “I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time,” which is basically political code for “Good luck with that!”

In Ghana, we have Dr. Bawumia’s concession speech—an event that surely had its own dramatic flair. But what about other candidates? Surely there are more examples from around the world! Picture this: A candidate stands on stage, microphone in hand, and instead of conceding gracefully, they pull out a karaoke machine and start belting out “I Will Survive.” Now that would be a concession speech for the ages!

So what should happen to candidates like Nana Agradaa when they deliver less-than-stellar concession speeches? How about this: they should be required to attend a “Concession Speech Boot Camp,” where they learn from the pros. Imagine them sitting in a classroom with Al Gore as he teaches them how to masterfully navigate their emotions while still sounding dignified.

Or perhaps they could be punished by having to write an apology letter to their supporters—complete with glitter and stickers—because nothing says “I’m sorry” quite like arts and crafts!

In conclusion, concession speeches are not just about admitting defeat; they are an art form! They allow us to witness politicians at their most vulnerable—and often at their most theatrical. So here’s to all those candidates who have graced us with their concession speeches; may your future attempts at victory come with fewer plot twists and more straightforward endings!
