Where do we run to? Where do we hide? What do we do? Oh My GOD! To live with the nightmare of watching your back lest a terrorist throws at you a bomb or stabs you when you least expect it, is the most tortuous ordeal a human being can be subjected to.
Mr President claimed that “compassionate” is his middle name. First of all, that is a fat lie. Dramani, which means Abdul Rahman, translates as “Servant of the COMPASSIONATE ONE (GOD)”, albeit his case is quite inapposite in this context. Let me explain.
The shameful failure chocked thus far by the NDC government, under the auspices of President John Dramani Mahama, has had a dwindling effect on the fortunes of Ghanaians. The economy has been in a perpetual freefall; the corruption has nauseated even the onlookers from far and wide; excessive taxation has snapped the backs of resilient men; the celebrity reputation that Ghanaians had built, painstakingly, over the years went up in smokes with the advent of this unreserved apology of a pejorative government.
As if it were not enough, arms begun trickling into the country some of which were seized. I had postulated that some sort of alibi was being created to achieve a rather ominous agenda come elections 2016.

Then, no sooner had I voiced my suspicion than President John Dramani Mahama welcomed perceived terrorists into the country. However, to carry the rejected burdens of the Americans who, via laws and legislations, refused to grant the Guantanamo celebrity terrorists stay in their midst, is downright treasonable.
President John “Compassionate” Mahama, Sir, the word making the rounds is that you were given a lump sum of $230,000,000 (two hundred and thirty million US Dollars) by the Obama administration to fan the heat that would result from this deal. H.E. Robert Mugabe rejected such a bamboozling curse outright, and told the Americans to shove their cash. His country is in dire need of assistance and is in no enviable condition, yet his patriotism did not allow him to sell his country. But you did sell us! You have sold our peace to satisfy your greed. You have an insatiable thirst for money, it seems. Then, to add insult to injury, you accepted to use the tax payers’ money to care for those scary imports.
The Americans have practically broken the international laws, and theirs, for assisting President John “compassionate” Mahama to launder money. They have perpetrated the criminal act of money laundering. That is what it is. They must have colluded with the President against the nation because most of his officers have denied knowledge about the backdoor money. I believe that this would be appropriately termed “BRIBE”, otherwise regurgitate it, now!
How do we protect our children? You have used your empty barrels to make a lot of noise stating that these people do not pose a threat to the security of our nation. You had monsters like Koku and other haranguers defend this outrageous act of chicanery. Your children are safe, and so are theirs; but what about those of us striving to make a living under your uncompassionate rule, Mr President? Most Ghanaians are sweating it out in the heat of the kitchen that Nunoo Mensah asked us to leave if we could not tolerate, and all we demand is security to move on.
It has come to the time that we have to watch our backs! It has come to the time that we have to watch out for terrorists in our midst! It has come to the time that we feel insecurity in everything that we do, even in our homes or during recreational activities. We now have to think twice before going to places of public gatherings. All that is due to your compulsive urge to grab money. Is your Presidency all about MONEY???
We are terrified! Oh GOD please help us!!!
