The increasing veiled & barefaced attacks on the people of the Volta Region ahead of the 2020 elections — by some of our leaders & their supporters — is divisive, irresponsible, insular, & repugnant. It’s such a SHAME that people who should know better sometimes don’t. STOP THIS!
SHAME to those condemning racists but won’t allow persons from other ethnic groups work in their firms, let alone marry their children. Racism, xenophobia & ethnocentrism are evil plagues of common ancestry. You can't be ethnocentric & yet condemn racism. It’s shameless hypocrisy

The C. Region is one of the poorest places in GH. If you go there to ask a hardworking yet poverty-ravaged single mother of four about what kinds of State interventions she NEEDS MOST, I am not sure she’ll mention an AIRPORT on her list of 10 needs. Fix the common problems first!
The ‘evidence’ purportedly proving that Prez
@NAkufoAddo
’took a bribe’ is a brazen attack on GH’s image. While it raises legitimate party financing questions, I’ve NO DOUBT that the video was DOCTORED. The culprits acted with criminal intent. They must be arrested & prosecuted.
Ghana’s Parliament has made a brilliant choice by electing Alban SK Bagbin as Speaker! He has completed his evolution. MP, Minority Leader, Majority Leader, 2nd Deputy Speaker, and now Speaker. He deserves it. He will be a fine Speaker. Congratulations, ”LEADER”. Every Best Wish.
I am a voter. I have voted in all Prez & Parl elections since my name I entered the register(s). I am currently out of GH. If the EC proceeds with its new register plan, regardless of the force of wisdom to the contrary, I may be compelled to sue the EC if I am disenfranchised.
The NDC’s bold manifesto promise to open up legal education in Ghana is GREAT! It is something our gov’t must do by carefully balancing the right to education with the need to ensure comprehensive & quality legal education nationwide.
@JDMahama
, if you win, we’ll hold you to it.
DONE! Father, THANK YOU for bringing this challenging task too to a successful closure! Please, if it is your will, grant me your grace, excellent health, unfailing wisdom, and everlasting energy to face and surmount the next challenge too! O’ Father, let only your will be done!
Guys, seriously... has Muntaka Mubarak (MP) ever been in the business of pursuing ”alegeli” or ”kusie” or ”rat”? The way he chased the guy eeeeeen!!!! Wow!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Prof Naana Opoku Agyemang is an accomplished, remarkable and history-making candidate any day: The first female on, indeed, a major party ticket in Ghana. As I said in my post days ago, this is a very ”interesting choice”. But will it work the magic? Your honest reactions.
Grateful as the African sun rises on my birthday. Reflecting on a remarkable journey from Ketu South to Accra, humbled by the experiences that shaped me. Embracing a new year filled with boundless possibilities and unwavering support. Wishing for happiness, love, and fulfillment.

In a functional society, four things would have happened by now: 1. He gets fired 2. His nomination withdrawn 3. Criminal charges follow & 4. He makes a statement apologising to all. But, I’ll NOT be surprised if he walks away from this smiling like the cat who got the CREAM 🤩!
If you are not humbled by where you find yourself today, keep walking in the direction of HOPE. The closer you are to hope, the more it humbles you. From a humbled, grateful & thankful heart to everyone who genuinely cares, supports & prays for me & my family …

Mistakes do happen, (yes and we all make them). However, some mistakes, no matter how insignificant, are so EXPENSIVE that they give rise to suspicions and or fortify some narratives. Are mathematicians in short supply in Ghana?

What litmus test did Prez
@NAkufoAddo
use to determine that the newly compiled register of voters is ”arguably the most credible [ever] in our history”? I note his use of the word ”arguably.” However, claims like that require more proof than just bold Presidential assertions.
Contestants have publicly confirmed paying bribes to be elected candidates for Parliament. The EC, the SP’s Office & the AG, haven't said a WORD about using these to launch a crusade and restore the sanctity of our democracy! Is our democracy too ROTTEN to be saved from itself?
#Covid_19GH
: No religious leader who means well for our people will, in the face of escalating +cases in Ghana, be putting pressure on the Govt to reopen our centres of worship for mass gatherings. What's this? Even Rome is under lockdown, & Mecca disserted under partial curfew!
All democrats MUST support the NDC’s push for a probe into the ’SHIFTING’ results. The veracity of the NDC’s claims must be established and or the contrary exposed. More importantly, JM MUST take the bold step to challenge the outcome where it appears to him and his lawyers...
Wow! History will remember that when bigotry threatened to tear down the fabric of our societal diversity, a fearless few stood up - at a time it mattered most - as tireless allies against the monster called the politics of exclusion. May God continue to bless our homeland Ghana!

Dubious thanks to the National Chair contest alone, almost all NPP delegates went back home from the weekend’s conference 2,500GHC richer after the lead aspirants dug deeper into their pockets, seeking to emerge as the biggest vote buyer. Frankly, we are in trouble as a country.
If these documents are - without more - anything to go by, then it does seem that the real claim of
@JDMahama
is NOT that he was cheated & or robbed of victory but that
@NAkufoAddo
didn't obtain the requisite number of votes (50%+1) to be declared President-elect.
Life is a priceless blessing. Embrace it by dedicating yourself to the service of those less fortunate who cannot fend for themselves.

For God so love the 20th of May that He gave the world some of the most exceptional Africans on this day. Bernard, Shamimah, Pearl, Edem, Erasmus & those out there, I am so honoured & humbled to share this day with some of the greatest men and women I know, respect and admire!
Mostly, I think, we who are Ghanaians spend our time ‘speaking in tongues’ & praying for heavenly solutions to our very basic problems that demand rudimentary solutions rather than simply thinking and applying the ordinary power of our minds to our elementary problems. Very Sad!
Guys, it is not everything I can say out loud here. Let me say, however, that it will be the slimmest of escape... In the end, the rejected bloke may well become the kingmaker in the House.
When an elected gov’t is habitually failing its people and yet the opposition appears distinguished by its hopelessness, what stark choice must the people make: Re-elect the failing gov’t to consolidate its failures or elect the opposition distinguished by its hopelessness?

Both sides have missed the point with the politics of who built what. The real issues should be about: Whose leadership has reduced poverty & created more wealth? Whose tenure has halved child & maternal mortality? Whose policies have made GH more competitive globally etc? (1)
The indigenous people of Accra have very beautiful traditional symbols (please see the attached pix). I got to know about them through some Intellectual Property Law (IPL)-related research yesterday. I think these awesome symbols equally deserve a deliberate national promotion.
When an MP dies or resigns, their political party should have the right to directly appoint a replacement, eliminating the need for by-elections vulnerable to vote-buying and violence. Constitutional amendment is crucial.

There goes our power supply again! Woga tsi dzo ake! Sad!
This NPP administration has thoroughly eroded the savings of numerous Ghanaians, thrusting them into dire economic straits through its visible incompetence and or egregious mismanagement of the national economy.
Breaking: Ghana’s only surviving former Vice-President, Kwesi Amissah ARTHUR is DEAD. He reportedly died at the 37 M. Hospital after collapsing during a workout in a gym earlier. My deepest condolences to his family, the entire membership of the NDC & the good people of Ghana!
Usually, when you have a warrant to arrest someone, you: (1) show him the warrant, (2) give him an opportunity to read it, (3) arrest him while saying in full the rights available to him under law. The crass unprofessionalism surrounding the arrest is unacceptable.

Torgbui Fiti V made a fair and valid case for the government of Ghana to take steps to finish (and open) an uncompleted E-block project within his traditional area. On the other hand, Nana Addo’s response to the question on the uncompleted Aflao E-Block project seems an unkind...

unleashed drumsticks on his chest to send home a message that he is the best protector of the public purse. Tonight, one of Ghana’s clearest voices on anti-corruption, Prof G. Boadi takes down the Prez, saying his credibility is more than in tatters.

The President,
@NAkufoAddo
, according to his spokesman, is NOT in the UK for medical care. He is in Ghana. Please ignore any publication to the contrary.
Why is that caesarean operation has, these days, become almost synonymous with child birth among Ghanaian women, with many of our poor men simply unable to pay the ‘HUGE’ medical bills associated with same? My heart breaks over the plight of poor & single expectant mothers. SAD!
The rogues who rise in shameless defence of injustice under their reign today often become victims of cruel & fatal injustice tomorrow. Shape, therefore, with your state or civic authority today institutions that will serve you and all other citizens justly today & tomorrow.

Why does it seem that there are NOW TWO ’OFFICIAL LANGUAGES’ in Ghana - ENGLISH and AKAN? These are what we hear at National Ceremonies these days. Is there a major policy change that has not been announced?
Unless we change how we appoint persons who head our Electoral Commission & related public offices, dark clouds will continue to be generated over our electoral processes. The dishonesty of both sides of the political divide should alarm anyone who cares about our ’democracy.’
