Your great grandfather did not allow us to obtain our freedom in a manner that would have created broad knowledge to the whole nation. The went as far as they can throwing bombs and causing disaffection against the state from far and near. When they got the chance to rule through coup de tat they pilfered state monies to educate you only for you to smoke weed and get sacked from oxford. The troubled nature of your family is rooted from deep corruption and mental slavery to neo colonialism.

That is why you cannot point a single project put up by your ancestors. Who you are has plundered all the booty bequeathed to you in silly campaign and drugs. Now that you are old you see there is nothing you can leave for the rest of the cursed descendants…….. You shall all continue to suffer until you apologise to the nation. TRAITORS !!!!

What have you done about it since you lost bitterly on 2012? Do you wait until you will become president before you tackle it? Big cheap and nonsense talk.

When government is able to create suitable environment for employment especially among the youth then we can say the government is performing.Not what we are experiencing now.

We swear with all our will and might for evermore, that any restoration of teachers and nurses allowances will legitimately warrant us in KNUST, UG,UCC, UDS and all universities students across the country to collect allowances. Because, tertiary equals tertiary, degree = degree, poverty = poverty and 4yrs = 4yrs. Are Nurses and Teachers Endangered Species?

Why is this man trying to deceive us? By UN Conventions children under the age of 18 cannot be offered any employment either paid or otherwise. Nana doesn't know this and want to force children who are supposed to be in school into child labour. When we say you guys are using lies to throw dust into the eyes of Ghanaians you don't believe it. Just look at this. I don't blame you, your people don't school but rather choose to sell dog chains in the streets of Accra and Kumasi. You will lose again.

We want to hear from activists about the polution of the rivers by foreign adventurers. That is something that leadership counts. For the jobs, please do not be deceived. None of the politician have the magic wane to solve the problem. Because the kind of economy we run relies on the enovation of individuals to solve the job problem. Kids leaving school should be encouraged to have the job situation in mind when choosing their careers. A new paradigm shift is downing on us. The time has come for us to create a new wave of entrepreneurs who would creat jobs and hire people. We need someone to organize the elite unemployed and find them jobs overseas, like the Indians do. Let us stop the complaining and begin to see this situation as an opportunity for a new beginning.

You want to be president yet you don't even know the true state of unemployment in Ghana. A common man even know that the true unemployment rate in Ghana is more than 60%. Or are you counting those ice water and shoe shine boys and girls as in employment. If so then the figure can be as high as 90%. Ghana is full of incompetent stupid deceivers. Both NPP and NDC
