Fear and laughter on the Ghana campaign trail

It may be that the results in what many see as Ghana’s closest ever election on 7 December could come down to a choice between sugary, fizzy drinks. On our tour through the battleground regions, we stopped off at a lively café in Cape Coast where customers joke with the shopkeeper.

Prophecy about who wins elections: Ghanaians you are smarter than this!

My dear fellow Ghanaians and the general public, there is a Prophecy circulating in the media - the internet, News Papers and all social networks that the Almighty said Nana Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party has won the 2016/17 Presidency of Ghana. But this prophecy will only come to pass if the EC does not rig (change) the outcome of the results in favour of the John Mahama led NDC..

Thought provoking lessons from the US presidential election

I have been trying to process all that just happened on Tuesday, November 8th and Wednesday, November 9th. I often said it wasn’t impossible for Trump to be elected, especially ‘cos we’re dealing with a nation that gave G. Dubya a second term, but I didn’t expect myself to be this shocked.

“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one” (George Harrison).

NPP must not rely solely on favourable prophesies

... but Hard Work and on God to Win Election 2016– Advises “Mahama Must Go” Movement I, Rockson Adofo, now a leading member of the “Mahama Must Go” (MMG) Movement, a voluntary family grouping campaigning for Nana Akufo Addo and NPP to win the upcoming 7 December 2016 general election, have always warned the leadership of NPP and their activists and sympathisers against being complacent in their efforts to wrestling power from President Mahama and the NDC.

Igniting dreams – The Trump way!

I have been meaning not to comment on the US Elections and Donald Trump's Victory but I honestly think that though it didn't go in favour of lots of people for obvious reasons, there are still some very significant lessons to be drawn from it.

What is the EC doing to our multi-party democracy?

Prominent British economist, journalist and political scientist, Walter Bagehot, has stated that “Party organisation is a vital principle of a responsible government. There never was an election without party.”

US election result: Clinton says Trump must have chance to lead

Hillary Clinton, the defeated presidential candidate, says US President-elect Donald Trump must be given a chance to lead.
Appearing in public for the first time since conceding defeat, the Democrat said she hoped Mr Trump would be a successful president for all Americans.

Premarital sex and its consequences (Part I)

Dear Christian unmarried ladies, let us look at the intricacies of a relationship with a human male, beginning with the challenging issue of physical intimacy. The world has somehow gotten us to believe that the way to a man’s heart is through his body.

NPP – Protecting the ballot

The campaign for the 2016 Election has reached its peak with about a month to go. There is no doubt that the two major political parties who are in the hot race are doing everything within their powers to win the elections. Notwithstanding the gifts and monies being doled out to the electorate for their votes, the giant bill boards of the ruling party, the abuse of incumbency (especially the use of Government vehicles, fuel and helicopters), it is becoming increasingly clear that NDC has met their match and there are clear indications that the NPP is making headway in almost all the Regions.

If I were an American Voter, I will be very sad today

America is making history today November 8, 2016, whichever way the pendulum swings. Either by putting the first ever woman (Hilary Clinton) in office as president of the United States. Or putting the most terrible presidential candidate ever in the history of US politics – Donald Trump in power.

The Impact Crew: “HIPC versus IMF bailout."

The land of Africa can never be poor, but our greedy politicians have chosen to tread upon the path of greediness, lies and deceit thereby putting their citizens in perpetual poverty. Geographically, in the Western part of the African continent is where a country called Ghana can be located.

It’s Volta Region, not voters region

Election year is here again and along with it have come its shenanigans. One of such is the “Voters Region” tag some have given to my region, the Volta Region. I suppose the geniuses behind the coinage thought it clever because its a play on the name of the region.

Occupy Ghana should occupy the truth for once!

It was a dark political cloud on the neck of truth and conscience and a sad day 03 November 2016 when we read the wiggly and jumpy submissions of Mr. Casely Hayford on Ghana web in an article titled “A-G can’t be trusted to retrieve Woyome cash”.

Prof. Kwamena Ahwoi and his deceptively shallow-minded campaign message

On Friday 4 November 2016, I heard on Peace FM radio news at 06:00 hours a campaign message from Professor Kwamina Ahwoi, a former Government Minister in the Rawlings’ NDC regime. He said almost exactly the following to some students in the Volta region when he visited their school on his campaign tour of the region on behalf of his party, the NDC.
