• Pride precedes a disaster, and an ARROGANT attitude precedes a fall
• A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path of destruction
• ARROGANT lips are unsuited to a fool--how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
• Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
These are some wise sayings from the good old book.
It is irritating and nauseating to hear the NPP flag bearer, Nana Akufo Addo, to have the effrontery and temerity to warn the President of the Republic of Ghana. Akufo Addo must know that President Mills was truly elected by the good and sound minded people of Ghana to rule. The good people of Ghana have vested their future and trust in President Mills to lead them. The people of Ghana have hired President to work for them, making wise decisions on their behalf like King Solomon.
Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP are so desperate for power and would do whatever they can, no matter how treacherous and evil irrespective of who is affected, to achieve this aim.
The NPP which is the offshoot of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo political tradition thinks that Ghana belongs to them only. For that matter all of the resources of the country belong to them who are the privileged few and hence must have unfettered access to these resources at the expense of the rest of us. They feel they are the only ones who must have the political power so they can have unlimited access to these natural resources, including Ghana’s new found oil, which they already have 3.5% while the rest 22 million Ghanaians have just 10% shares. These groups of like-minded power hungry people refuse to accept fact that they are always on the wrong side of history. Ask every child in Ghana who led Ghana to achieve independence and you will have a coherent answer: Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Where were the Busias, the JB Danquahs, etc.? These NPP folks are so intoxicated with the practice of chronic capitalism under the guise of ‘property owning democracy’.
When is the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition (NPP) going to stop their parasitic, selfish and self-centered behavior?
Why are Akufo Addo and his cohorts in the Narcotic Peddlers Party (NPP) totally against the collateralization of oil revenues for the development of the nation? The reasons are not farfetched.
These NPP parasites are against the collateralization of our oil revenues because they wanted the money to be kept in the bank so that in the unlikely event that they gain political power one day they can squander the money, as they squandered during the Eight Year reign of the NPP Government led by Supreme Commander of looting and stealing, Field Marshall J. A. “Bokassa” Kufour.
They (NPP) know they are not going to see power for a very longtime which, they desperately want because NDC will utilize the oil revenue wisely to the benefit of the good people of Ghana by developing the infrastructural structures of the country. Ghanaians are not fools. They will only give their mandate to the people who genuinely seek their welfare and are committed to their well-being. Ghanaians will never be fooled again by NPP lies and propaganda. Once bitten twice shy! The NPP have ill-intentions and selfish-motives for coming to power. They do not have Ghana at heart. All they care about is to lord over Ghanaians and enrich themselves and their children while the rest of Ghanaians languish in abject poverty.
Let this be known to NPP. The NDC Government led by His Excellency, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills WILL COLLATERALIZE the oil revenue in order to develop the infrastructural structures and social amenities of the country, which will indeed lead to rapid and accelerated development of the country and its people and in turn Ghanaians will keep renewing NDC mandate every 4 years!
Nana and his NPP can go to HELL. Nana and his NPP can go and burn the sea!
The Dankwa-Busia-Dombo political tradition (NPP) can only be described as the TALIBAN and/or Al-Qaida of Ghana, “dangerly” dangerous! Historically, Dankwa-Busia- Dombo was a terrorist organization in Ghana, bombing people and places, maiming school children and when they succeeded in overthrowing Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the “visionaire”, they held Ghanaians hostage! The so-called Dankwa-Busia-Dombo tradition is the single most important reason Africa is still “standing-still”! Now because Akufo Addo want power, which Ghanaians denied him and will deny him again come 2012, he is playing the blame game. What an irony?
These charlatans only believe in propagating lies. They believe in the NAZI propaganda principles propounded by Joseph Goebbels which states that “One can achieve political objectives by whatever means even if you lie”. A big lie, for they believe, when you repeat over and over and over again, it sounds like a fact, and eventually people believe it, like Blood libel. In fact lying is in the genes (DNA) of these charlatans. This is what they believe in. This is what they know. This is what they do. This is one of their main strategies for gaining political power, besides rigging.
How hypocritical can Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo be? How on earth can Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo describe the President of Ghana, His Excellency Prof. J.E.A Mills, as being indecisive, hot and cold, inconsistent on the Ivory Coast political crisis? Wonders, they say, shall never cease!!! The Pot calling the kettle Black!
Let it be clear to Nana Akufo Addo that he is the one who is not his own man, indecisive, hot and cold, and inconsistent by not being bold enough to select his own running mate. Nana, how can you rule a country like Ghana when you cannot be decisive and assertive enough to select your own running mate and then turn around and be blaming people for imposing Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia on you? This is a shame! Big SHAME with your fake accent! They say history never teaches anything it just keep repeating itself…….Akufo Addo is just behaving like his political godfather and tribesman, JB Danquah, who was so distant from his own people, wearing designer suits, speaking “Big” English and of course with a fake western accent, and sure, he failed miserably in his political life.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, Jake Okanta Obetsebi-Lamptey, and the whole NPP apparatus are warmongers. Nana Kofi Coomson is right and in deed all Ghanaians are right to be afraid, in the unlikely event Nana Akufo Addo become the President of Ghana, because Nana Addo is a Chief Warmonger. Nana Kofi Coomson says he will not be able to close his eyes when he Kofi Coomson sleeps; indeed Ghanaians will not be able to sleep soundly under Nana Akufo Addo’s Presidency.
Nana Akufo Addo is advocating our President, His Excellency Prof. J.E. A Mills, deploy Ghanaian troops to Ivory Coast to fight senseless and needless war and die, a situation that can be resolved through diplomacy. My advice to Nana and Jake and the whole of NPP is to deploy their action troopers led by Lord Commey, fake St. John, the Bamba Boys Brigade (BBB), and the NPP Militants to go fight in the Ivory Coast.
It is now crystal clear Nana Akufo Addo does not think of Ghana. I have few questions for Nana Addo:
1) Do you know how many of our brothers and sister are in the Ivory Coast and do you care about safety?
2) Do you know how close our new found oil rig (which NPP owns 3.5% shares) is to Ivory Coast and do you think of what might happen to the oil rig should ECOWAS invade that country?
3) Do you ever think of the effect of fleeing refugees, across the border into Ghana, on our lean budget and hence the socio-economic development?
No doubt Nana Akufo Addo never cares about Ghana and Ghanaians, all he wants is to lord over them; calling to mind the 44 Ghanaians killed in Gambia under Akufo Addo’s watch as the foreign minister, and he never cared. Thank you, President Mills, for resolving this issue after so long and making sure the victim had befitting burial and their families receiving some form of compensation, though that cannot replace their loved ones.
Nana, you need to put on your thinking cap before you recklessly advocate for war in the Ivory Coast. Nana Addo, you have exposed your true self to the good people of Ghana as to how careless and dangerous a person you are. Do you know what is happing in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo thinks that the Presidency is his entitlement (birth right) but this will always remain a mirage to him and he will never sit on the “black stool”. He is too ARROGANT, RECKLESS and DANGEROUS! Nana, you will see it but will never sit on it! The good people of Ghana know you much better than you think they know you! Your own NPP knows you and are strategically giving you this LAST chance so they can throw you off board and then go for Allan come 2016. It is fate that you will never rule Ghana that is why even the Kufuor beat you in the 1998 primaries
You are done, with your fake accent, Nana; pump this into your “coconut” once and for all!
