  Why do you think Ghanaians have taken jokes. Has it occurred to you that Ghanaians are using jokes just to dull the pain of economic hardships that everyone is going through because of thieves and scammers we have as leaders, including Otabil?
  No pastor in Ghana today can tell us that he's beyond reproach. They are all scammers.

  Pastor Mensah Otabil is just a hypocrite. A politician in disguise. Give us a break.

  You are a fool, not a Christian. If you were a true Christian, you'd know how to use your political calling to serve the people and not be the Pharissee that you have proved to be all these years.

  Pastor Otabil did not mince his word when he said, “We're polluting ourselves. We have issues we can't solve. We have problems we can't solve. We are overwhelmed all around us yet we have a lot of time to joke, to laugh and to act as if this is the most normal environment to live in. Pastor Mensah Otabil further wondered why we choose to create jokes out of very serious issues and by so doing, play down the importance of very weighty matters and completely ignore them. From the high and mighty to the lowest in the country, we have all become some sort of zombies grappling in the dark for direction and yet we appear oblivious of the state of abject poverty, dejection, hopelessness and utter helplessness etched on our very own faces. Or have we as Ghanaians reached vegetative state of the ‘Fa ma Nyame’ syndrome which has bedevilled our
  
  
  . Casting our minds back to 2012, the NPP campaigned on “Free SHS education” whereas the NDC campaign slogan was “Ede bee k3k3” (whatever that means!?!). If we were not a “country of jokers”, how else could the NDC “win” the elections with such senseless and meaningless slogan?
  
  Elsewhere in the world, the fall of the local currency is a matter that requires sane heads to think and come up with solution yet, the NDC government and its apparatchiks as usual take it for a joke. Whilst the citizens were scratching their heads for answers to tumbling of the GH-cedi against the major currencies, the only sensible explanation that came to the head of Anita De Sosou, National Women’s organizer of the ruling NDC was that, “dwarfs were pilfering the cedi”!. We are a very serious country indeed!

  Yes, Ghana i8s full of jokers. Ghana is the only country in the world whose currency is the cedi, yet we have foolishly and jokingly christened our currency as Ghana Cedi. Do we have Algerian cedi or the British cedi? re are other countries whose national currencies being the dollar hence the American dollar, Canadian dollar., Liberian dollar. Is Ghana cedi not a joke? The exchange rate of the dollar as against the cedi was $ I = 10,000 cedis. Our economic wizards in NPP simply removed four zeroes and informed brainless Ghanaians that the dollar and the cedi are equal in value, and we rejoiced in having a strong currency. That was jokers we had as economic wizards. If Ghanaians want to know, in simple algebraic equation, what happens to the figures on the left side of the equation must also affect the figures on the right. 10.000 cedis divided by 10,000= 1 cedi. $ 1 divided be 10,000 = $ 0.00001. We must be reminded that it was just redenomination of the cedi and not revaluation. The value of the cedi still remained the same. Are we Ghanaians not jokers? And yet Ghanaians are now crying the value of the cedi is falling. What a country.
