His party lost because of corruption unquote. So why is he still celebrating the insane revolution that murdered folks because of corruption? He needs to be reminded that on a minute bases that life doesn't evolve around his 31st coup de tat.
Uglyyy bitch.Hahaha. The only thing I want is to give me my free things he promise me. Example free healthcare, free school, free teacher, and Nurse allowance,$1m every month for K.E.E.A, a factory in my Village,and a dam in my Village to mention but few.
35 years later, we are still celebrating the 31st December revolution. Oh Ghana ... why? Why waste resources on this ***barred word***. I hope the NPP abolishes it. Akuffo Addo please abolish it.
The PNDC claimed it was a "provisional" or transitional government hence the name Provisional National Defence Council, yet it stayed in power for over a decade. Clearly honesty has never been part of this political tradition. Secondly the "Provisional" government quickly formed a party using state resources and contested elections in which it had a massively unfair advantage. So you see, deception was and still is the hallmark of this tradition. Rawlings should not pretend to be surprised at the failure of his party for the law of karma truly exists. A party born out of the shed blood of innocents will surely fail. It is common to hear people say they will join NDC as it is the quickest way to make money and move from a nobody to a somebody. The so called babies with sharp teeth bear eloquent testimony to this fact. This tradition has been the longest ruling party in Ghana and yet Ghanaians continue to struggle for the very basics of life such as water, health, nutrition education. The stark reality is that if we don't reject the "get rich quick " mentality that provides the support to the NDC tradition, Ghana will continue to suffer from mediocrity in her government. Ghana is a democracy at least on paper so I wouldn't pray for the death of NDC but rather that the NDC would truly reform notwithstanding its deceptive antecedents and position itself as a true alternative to the NPP. Currently the party claims to be social democrats but the fact is they are greedy capitalists, not the trickle down capitalists like espoused by the NPP but capitalism that serves only a few within the party. Ghana has languished behind for far too long in the comity of African states. Let the deception of the NDC be replaced with true and honest empathy for the impoverished Ghanaian and let the educated (I don't mean degree holders or formal educated elites) members amongst them stand out and make a difference. Never again should we suffer under a government filled with hunger induced greedy minded people who spent their tenure as ministers going to school etc. please politicians, remember the teary eyed suffering Ghanaian and work for your country. That is an epitaph worth having than to be labeled forever as rich but corrupt. God save Ghana.
Rawlings taking ndc back simply means the ndc is not of age. it cannot survive without him. it is too early to blame mahama. lets wait until npp goes beyond 2 terms before we can blame them. the ghanaian political terrain is so polarised that the 8 years ding dong between npp and ndc is going to continue for long. rawlings should learn to take the back seat like kuffour has done. otherwise npp would be around for a long time. the rawlingses must learn to tolerate others the same others have tolerated them....
please, ghanaians should bare in mind that this 31st December celebration is not needed as time goes on.The 31st December uprising was illigale,and must be sanction.Ghana was in a DEMOCRATIC ERA AS GHANAIANS forget to abolish this ceremony for the hatred and greed of one person ambitions and quest for power.
Papa J,Please BOOOOOOOOM Mahama and His THIEVE'S for the 8yr Steal'ing Skills. We the cadres we Big you to SACK them from the Party because we can't work with those who call us DOGS, and hire someone like GCPP leader to insult our Father Rawlings and his wife. We don't need Betty Mould, Woyome, Asiedu Nketia, Ibrahim Mahama,babies with sharp Teeth and so on. Long Live Ghana and Long Live the New NDC executives to be appointed by our FOUNDER Papa J.
