2000 years of Akan glorious history can not be replaced by 50 just because ndc , nkrumah pepeni and ayigbe criminals say so or want it so. Today i listen to my psalms , hymns and war songs by bob marley and 2pac just like David who composed for the Israelis so remain inspired. i look out of my window and count myself blessed that i have not fallen prey to these fake prophets and priests whose only aim is to collect collection more than 10 times during a service but have the clarity of mind to meditate alone and offer thanks to God. What ever they say i know its the opposite , if they say look right you better quickly closely observe whats happening on the left. the say the economy is grown then you must know its a disaster , they say they are working on fixing the economy , know for sure they are only stealing , infighting now they have marginalized all influence of the Akans the pepeni and ayigbe crminals are now looking to eliminate each other , they say they have found new investors know they have discovered new ways to exploit and channel our money away. they say our women are short and ugly but look at the stinking rats and vulture they can women in their tribes and you you will know ours are the most beautiful in the world . they say they want cooperation but they are only looking to rubbish or steal good projects . they say they want the well-being of the ordinary man but in reality they only want to line their pockets with money and push the Akan further into poverty . they say they want an all inclusive govt but know they just want cement northern and ayigbe domination with their slave tribes like the Gas and some foolish brainwashed brongs , ashantis , fantis assisting them. they say they are evaluating ministers and other appointees but it is now a battle between the ayigbe and the pepeni to reduce the number of ayigbe since the Akans are all already irrelevant in their govt although we are the majority in this land . everywhere you go you find pepeni vultures looking over the carcass of Ghana and tearing out the flesh of wealth for their own greedy selfish selves . they are comfortable now as the critical mass of the people still think things will get better little do they know its beyond repair and can only be remedied with an organized uprising of the Akan. the npp seems to be cleaning house and thanks to ken agyapong most likely true fighters will emerge who will not throw in the towel like nana addo did just before the true battle starts due to cowardice. yes we are ready and will never surrender to these thieves and criminals , long live the republic of Akan

THE THINGS THIS MAN HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT HIS OWN PARTY, MAKE HIM UNFIT TO BE A DIPLOMAT. IT WILL BE A MISTAKE TO BE APPOINTED AN AMBASSADOR FOR GHANA. IF HE SPILLS THINGS IN PUBLIC ABOUT HIS PARTY, HOW WILL HE PRESERVE GHANA'S SECRETS OR FOR THAT MATTER THE SECRETS OF THE GHANA GOVERNMENT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD A SENIOR MEMBER OF A GOVERNMENT CRITICIZING HIS OWN IN PUBLIC. WILL THIS MAN BE ABLE TO KEEP DIPLOMATIC SECRETS TO HIMSELF. IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES, YOU HAVE SECRET SERVICE PERSONNEL, WOULD THIS MAN BE ABLE TO KEEP THE NAMES OF OUR PEOPLE TO HIMSELF. WILL HE NOT SELL OUT. IT WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE TO SEND THIS MAN ANYWHERE. HE MIGHT THINK HE IS SMART OR INTELLIGENT, BUT THESE QUALITIES ALONE DO NOT MAKE ONE A DIPLOMAT. A DIPLOMAT AS THE NAME IMPLIES, REALLY BEHAVES LIKE ONE AND THIS MAN IS NOT IN THAT MOLD. GHANA IS THE PLACE FOR HIM. LET HIM STAY HOME AND BE THE CLEVEREST GHANAIAN HE THINKS HE IS. THE NETHERLANDS DOES NOT NEED AN AMBASSADOR OF HIS KIND.

Mr OKOE, NDC should be grateful to Dr Tony Aidoo for being honest to point out some of their lapses. Whilst I appreciate that he could have raised such matters internally, there is nothing wrong with him going public. I suspect he was compelled to go public because those within the presidency would not listen to him. In any case, what he has been saying are facts so why is he not fit to be a public servant and a diplomat? What is secret about what Dr Tony Aidoo has been saying? That is public knowledge unless you are like Anita Desooso and believes that President Mahama is delivering the Ghana Better Agenda. My only problem with Dr Tony Aidoo is that he was not that vocal during the Mills era, so it appears he is not happy that he is no longer part of the powers that be.
For the author, I totally disagree with you that Dr Tony Aidoo should not air his concerns in public.

It should not be difficult for any smart person to analyze the tactics of Dr Tony Aidoo. The man is jobless, even though he claims he is being paid but for doing what? Though he has been promised ambassadorial post, he is yet to receive official credentials and to assume duty. Don't forget that indirectly the closing down of his former office is a big blow to his pride and usefulness in the present administration and he is inwardly mad about that, though he may not openly admit so. He could be thinking "what at all is keeping me still in Ghana" For that matter he is using psychological means to pull the tail of President Mahama until he assumes office or pushed outside Ghana, just watch and see. As soon as he starts his ambassadorial functions he will stop making any noise about the government and NDC. At the moment is "a minister without any official duties" and he is not happy about that because people are laughing at him knowing he has created so many enemies for himself. Now he is competing with Kwesi Pratt for sour bashing of any news out there. That is Tony Aidoo for you. He is good in psychology.

Your "dog and pony" show and go indoors to offer your shallow and so obvious advice. Tell us something most people don't know. As to Tony Aidoo, he may be acid-tongued but he appears to have only seen the light when the tables were turned on him by his own party. In my opinion, he criticized the Ex Prez Kufuor admin largely because he was no longer on the gravy train of government. Without the gravy train of the Ghanaian govt, people like him will probably have made heavy weather of ....may be we should all thank God people are now waking up to smell the coffee, but when he had the opportunity he also fleeced the country, what happened to the Govt- owned car he bought for a song and a dance. Give us concrete evidence of the crony capitalism then and now, stop calling naked alleged corruption as capitalism.....stop bandying around the oft repeated but not backed up stories. It's good this grownup man has may be now seen religion and I hope he's now truly contributing to the development of our now close to sorry state. I pray to The BIG ONE to help me think about ways to help bring true development to Ghana, and as for the fine english people, let me stop here

The things that Tweneboah is looking at in assessing Tony's admonishment of some Government policies is petty and parochial and not objective. When the national interest is at stake, party and individual interest must immediately relegate to the background. We didn't fight and bleed to put John Mahama in power for him to hand Ghana's economy to foreign investors. We fought to put him there because we believed he will put the economy back in Ghanaian hands like President Mills begun doing with the establishment of Ghana Gas Company and other state owned project. There must be a clear distinction between NDC and NPP policies, not likeness. Why do you think then President Mills dithered on the adoption of that PPP policy? Yet President John Mahama of all people who should know better because of his proximity to Mills comes in and immediately rush to implement it. Do you know the internal contradictions in that PPP concept? Public private partnership is a partnership that takes a little from the public and a little from the private and join them to be used in development. The ills of capitalism which is greed will still be present in that relationship where a large chunk of public funds is going so why won't Tony talk. Tony has being saying this for decades, you won't listen, when you run into trouble then you begin running back to him for help. NDC must look behaviourilly differently from NPP if its wants to survive

The reason behind his recent blistering attack on the NDC is because he is unemployed at the moment. Indications are that, he would continue to be unemployed until the results of the 2016 general elections is made public.
In fact, he is a frustrated man, and it is dangerous to send such a man to the Netherlands. It is the intention of the president to keep him in limbo for him to display his frustration to the good people of this country.
You may recall that when he was a deputy minister of Defense under Jerry Rawlings, Tony Aidoo went to a filling station and had altercation with a pump attendant,and pulled a pistol to threaten the unarmed pump attendant. How do you post such an unstable person outside the country as an Ambassador? More so when it is public knowledge that the man is a heavy indian hemp smoker.
John Mahama should spare Ghana the embarrassment Tony Aidoo would bring to this country if he is posted outside the country. My understanding is that in the Netherlands, drug use is very liberal, and therefore it would be to the advantage of Tony Aidoo. My concern is that if he should lose his mind, and pull a pistol at a gas station in the Netherlands as he did in Ghana, the diplomatic embarrassment to Ghana would be unbearable.
It is better for Tony Aidoo to stay in Ghana and bleed NDC's side than to send him outside to embarrass the government of Ghana.
Tony, please continue barking
