    What can we do to get Nana Akuffo Addo to act? Wait for ever? Poor, miserable Ghana. Has anyone asked him to stall? Is he not inspired as we thought? Is it old age? We have another Mahama on our hand without his corruption.

    Forget heaven because heaven does not seem to exist. The idea of heaven was forged to make money. Just LOVE everybody and your country as yourself and live and die away one day.

    Why do you always use Woyome as an example? People did worse things but owing to hypocrisy always Woyome. Is it because of the tribe that he is? Leave him alone and cite other worse corrupt personalities.
