John Mahama’s Economy Record Still Remains Poor Despite Sweet Promises

John Mahama’s Economy Record Still Remains Poor Despite Sweet Promises

After spearheading a government that created job losses and increased unemployment among the youth, former President John Mahama is out again promising to create jobs should he be voted for. During his recent tour to the the Asougyaman, Lower Manya Krobo, Yilo Krobo and Suhum constituencies, the former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, promised the that a future NDC government would create the enabling environment for their businesses to thrive. For a man whose record when it comes to the handling of Ghana’s economy is poor, it came as a surprise that Mr. Mahama is now preaching…

Celebrities Who Follow John Mahama End Up In The Political Dustbins

Celebrities Who Follow John Mahama End Up In The Political Dustbins

For some strange reasons, celebrities who have openly endorsed the candidature of John Mahama have had their careers shortened and ended up being dumped quickly into the political dustbins. From actors like Mr. Beautiful and John Dumelo, to musicians like Mzbel and Rex Omar who had blistering careers in their early days, the same can’t be said of them after teaming up with John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress. Elections in Ghana have become a serious business and for the electorate, a deep thinking exercise before allowing the thumb to do the talking on the ballot paper. The seriousness…

NPP Govt Has Done More For Teachers, Deserves 4 More Years – NAPO

NPP Govt Has Done More For Teachers, Deserves 4 More Years – NAPO

The Minister for Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has disclosed that the NPP government under the visionary leadership of H.E. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has done more to better the lot of teachers than any government in the fourth republic. According to him, the government recognizes that the teacher is the fulcrum around which quality education is delivered, and therefore every serious conversation about quality education must be held with the teacher at the centre of affairs. It is in recognition of this fact that teacher motivation and welfare are at the heart of the government’s educational policies and interventions.…

Ken May Have Goofed But He Shouldn’t Be Guillotined

Ken May Have Goofed But He Shouldn’t Be Guillotined

I am antipathetic to any form of abuse, whether verbal or otherwise, of our venerable judges and justices of our courts. I am, therefore, not in a happy relationship with the comments Honourable Kennedy Agyapong made about a judge. Notwithstanding my aversion to what happened, the Assin Central MP has rendered an unqualified apology to the judge and all judges in the country including the Chief Justice. I have seen some NDC activists writing thesis, giving justifications for why the maverick politician should be incarcerated for his contemptuous pronouncements. They cite the Montie trio incident as a basis for the…

JM Predicts Early Death For Prof. Jane Naana Opoku

Two eminent Fante’s, one a renowned law professor and sitting President, the other an astute economist and immediate past Vice-President, have all died in relatively quick succession and under bizarre circumstances. What or rather who did they have in common? John Mahama, first as Vice-President and then as President, all of the republic of Ghana. The son of E.A. Mahama, John Dramani Mahama has nominated for the third consecutive time, another Fante luminary, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to be his running mate in a desperate bid to wrestle power from the governing NPP. It is instructive to note, that all…

An Appeal To The Right Honourable Speaker Of Parliament, Mike Oquaye To Reject An Honorary Doctorate Degree From Afful Broni And His Charges

An Appeal To The Right Honourable Speaker Of Parliament, Mike Oquaye To Reject An Honorary Doctorate Degree From Afful Broni And His Charges

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba, and his management, including the Governing Council, are set to 'honour' the Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament, Mike Oquaye, with an honorary doctorate degree sooner than later. While such a move, in an ideal situation, ought to receive a standing ovation for all its relevant and beautific effects, same cannot be said about this one. I find it rather demeaning for the Right Honourable Speaker of our august Parliament to welcome such an award from a group of people who flout the laws of the land with impunity. Mr. Speaker is…

Bryan Buabeng On 100 Reasons Why Ghanaians Should Reject Mahama Again

Fellow Ghanaians, we present to you a 100 out of the many reasons why it is prudent to renew the Akufo-Addo led NPP governments mandate to continue the good work, protect what we have achieved and transform our beloved country for the citizenry. They are a 100 reasons for you to find it suicidal to hand over this serious nation again to a candidate who is seeking to build his personal stomach infrastructure and run this forward looking nation aground with incompetence. We cannot trust our future with a man who needs our mandate to correct his mistakes after telling…

Mahama Using Ofosu-Ampofo’s Akyemness As A Defense Is Lame

Mahama Using Ofosu-Ampofo’s Akyemness As A Defense Is Lame

A miss is as good as a mile, and this is something that appears to be illusive to Mahama. In his attempt to limit the seemingly self-inflicted irreparable damage to his candidacy with respect to his ethnocentric comments against the people of Akyem, John Dramani Mahama has sought to justify it by saying that it was targeted at a few, named persons. He throws in the angle of his National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo and the head of his manifesto committee hailing from Akyem, and could not have lumped all of them into the same soup. First of all, Ofosu-Ampofo doesn't…

When The Hymns From Our CSOs Are Not Mellisonant Enough….

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of minds deemed to be little. Madam Elizabeth Ohene, in her erudite rendition on these neutrals and CSOs, detailed her disagreement with some of them on how they want to be seen to be holding the punishing rod of the land and have monopolized the act of critiquing governments without accommodating dissenting views on their views. Some of these opinionated groups, she indicated, believe whatever comes from them are sacrosanct and cannot be disputed. These and many other cogent topics formed part of her widely circulated opinion captured in that beautiful prosy piece. There…

Hypocrisy Is When You Kick Against Reopening Of S.H.S But Kick Against The Continued Closure Of KG TO J.H.S One

To some, Akufo-Addo had broken a sacrilegious rule to announce that final year students in the Senior High Schools were going back to school in preparation towards their final exams. Opposition elements were exasperated, saying it was a suicidal mission for the students to be sent back to school despite the enhanced safety measures put in place to safeguard them. Some parents were roiled by the suggestion, saying it was the height of insensitivity on the part of the Government to risk the lives of the children. Some parents threatened to remove their wards from their schools citing the dangers…
