Brother LHASSAN TAIROU MANAF,
May you live long to give us more powerful insights into Kwame Nkrumah and his good world.
Nkrumah is the standard by which leadership anywhere should me measured. We do acknowldgde his shortcomings as a human being yet his sterling leadership gifts and foresight are unmatched anywhere in Africa, now or then.
The world did not vote Nkrumah "the greatest Afican of the millennium" for nothing.
Let the present leadership of Africa and of the world learn from this illustrous son of humanity.
Thanks.

we are tired of the reckless willfulness of these leaders from minority tribal groups who only come with corruption in their hearts and hatred of the values and potential of the majority.This govt due to their anti Akan agenda and discrimination saturated by hate and envy of the Akans can never do anything right or good . Their wickedness is so deep in their subconscious and conscious that its fully geared to destroy the Akan economy so anything they think will benefit the Akans will be sabotaged , ignored or thrown out . we have no choice but to regroup and do as much as possible without involving the govt , ndc or these pepeni/ayigbe mafia criminals . Corruption , discrimination based on their tribalism , hegemony and chauvinism has eroded all unity within the nation .Akans all over the place are waking up , with the BA chiefs voicing their reservations about GMO , western region , central region are protesting under their breaths , our dear Ashantis have made their position clear so we expect the political parties with understanding of the Akan plight like the cpp , ppp and npp to stand up or be forgotten. We can not wait another 2 years as by then the damage will be cemented beyond repair . Eyered is now everywhere and we reluctantly realize only a bloody revolution can set our people free . Its not that they are unprepared of do not know what to do to get Ghana back on track but the hate in their hearts make them continue on this path of destruction of the Akans . they are doing EXACTLY what they planned to do so dont be fooled, just examine the EU agreement.If this EPA was so good why didnt they push that proposal through the UN for the whole world to benefit . we shall be exploited to the brink of slavery all because we have an illegitimate election rigging ayigbe/pepeni govt seeking international recognition and approval , the same way jj signed us off to the IMF . Only a fool can be deceived into thinking an election is the solution as it will be rigged again, we are wise to remain reserved and keep an open mind as many wanna be leaders fall short of being a genuine progressive leaders rather they are more likely to be in cohorts with the mafia political oligarchy that has a stranglehold on our people
we know many have been brainwashed into stupidity so do not see the truth. have you ever asked yourself why is it that when they hear the call WE AKANS they go into a stupefied frenzy of hate ? why is it that Akans are now very cautious of even saying who they are and where they are from , why is it that its only the Akans who believed in the melting pot of Ghana and disregarded their diversities . why is it that today in the ministries most traumatized Akans will only speak Ga or English yet ewes , northerners can freely converse in their mother tongue ? Talk about aggressive tribalism and where its coming from , who started it ? Hegemony , narrow mindedness and blaming all other tribes except their own was never started by the Akans but we can also learn the game very quickly

"By now, it should be so obvious to all that partisanship doesn't run a government. And we can't achieve that without eschewing that "winner takes all" syndrome we have swallowed. Ghana as a country must define its interest."

TOP 5 REASONS WHY GHANAIANS ARE
"hungry and desperate"
=============================
1. Ghanaians are used to easy-living. Minimum effort for maximum pay. Ask every single employer in Ghana, since 2002 they have perfected the art of doing nothing, using connections, lying, cheating and talking loudly and insulting everyone who is not going to help them sustain this life style. Allan Cash calls it NATO ( No Action Talk Only)
2. They are waiting for a messiah preferably "kuffuor-like" and hence Nana Addo, who will come and get some free money from foreigners who are sympathetic, blind or wilfully ignorant like them. The money will be shared among the politicians and their extended families, cronies and friends who will then a)import commodities and set up table-top shops in every corner, nook and crany of the land. b) quickly convert the monies into dollars and take-off to Europe, Americas and south Africa to invest or hide.
The current Government tried to copy this template but failed woefully. Different times different conditions. Now they wished they had listened to JJ Rawlings when he said they should have jailed as many of the Kuffour Brigade as possible. If you follow a "giant " to the hills make sure you are prepared to climb high mountains.
3. Unfortunately right now it seems over 75 % ( according to Bawumia Arithmetic) of the population simply believe all that is required is for Nana Akuffo-Addo to become president. They believe he can get the money. After all, unlike poor fumbling 'northerner' JD Mahama, he has friends in London and Texas and Seoul waiting with open checkbooks, just like Kuffour. And he is already "rich" and "noble" ( he pays more taxes to the UK in year that he has paid in Ghana in the past 10 years). All he will need is to wave his magic wand and the slyly-cloying marauding voracious barracudas calling themselves variously as "financial engineers" and "to-na-ton" mercenaries (aka the middle-class?) will change their ways overnight and he will serenely go about providing free education to the 2-million or so hopelessly maladjusted 10-15 year olds. While at the same time continuing to allow the cash to flow as in 2006-2009.
4. Every Ghanaian of average inteligence and status seems to have a plan to individually and separately get money by fair or foul means to a) build their mansion/house b) get pot-hole proof vehicles ( ideally of Toyota/Nissan Brand). c) send their kids to private school locally or overseas d) enough US dollar/Pound Sterling reserve to enable frequent unfettered travels. And to do all this from a government subvented salary as a civil/public servant/MP/MCE/PM/DAC/teacher or even a "party foot-soldier". Then they turn around talk about corruption. People everywhere in the world want these same things but they know that they will have to work extremely hard over a very long period of time to get these things. But we seem to excel in coming up with ways of getting the good things in life by doing little or nothing at all.
5. Most Ghanaians seem to have the IQ of a lizard ( apologies to all lizards everywhere). Take this example: You are a Ghanaian living somewhere in the Eastern/Western Region, You have a piece of land your ancestors used for farming and some "creative" off-season traditional gold-mining.For ages thiey were able to use this system to maintain a rich culture and eco-balanced economy. You decide to sell this land as part of a concession to a group of young Chinese (and college grads from Utah, USA -check PBSonline for the documentary). They come with zeal and smarts as well as heavy equipment and completely destroy the land, the surface vegetation and rivers. Then you run to Accra and organize press conferences with tribal leaders and chiefs in sartorial lizard- colors to denounce the Government, insult the President. To add insult to injury, of course now you cannot even feed your own children in School with even plantain, cassava, cocoyam that all used to grow free and wild. Yes! you need a loan from Denmark (pop. 4 million, where everybody pays tax) for a dubious School Feeding Program and diet based on perfumed-rice from Thailand. Come on! Can you look into the eyes of a lizard ( cold blood, needs heat to survive etc.) and say you are smarter? But you see you are a Ghanaian so you are not allowed to think, reflect or even consider your actions. All you are required to do is find a convenient target to complain, blame, insult and if possible steal from- and everything is fine.

The efficacy and potency of his prescription have stood the test of time.Let us identify a party with his vision and ensure that it comes to power to implement the vision.Africa is still waiting for our leadership and we dare not fail them.
