“When you are given an American Ford Expedition car bribe, say it is a Japanese Toyota V8 car gift”

Under the John Atta Mills-John DramaniMahamaNDC administration, many criminal acts were perpetrated against this nation by a clearly ailing leader who refused to accept the fact and allowed criminal and incompetent elements within his administration to hide behind him to have a field day to loot the coffers of the nation. The nation became the loser when he died under mysterious circumstances which have been kept as state secretever since and those criminals took the centre stage of the nation’s affairs. The worse was yet to come.
Under the period of stewardship of John Dramani Mahama-Paa Kwesi AmissahArthur NDC administrations, this dear nation of ours has experienced the most frightening criminal, corrupt, incompetent, evil, greedy, self-seeking, idiotic, disrespectfulunconstitutional acts, unorthodox legal gymnastics, ethnocentricappointments, disregard for the rule of law, uncouth beastly behaviours on the part of party officials and foot soldiers., media terrorism, naked violence, verbal unprovoked insults, flood of vituperations and threats perpetrated on innocent citizens most of them performing their national and official duties.All these inferior communist tactics are state sanctioned under the John Dramani Mahama NDC administration and carried out by paid hirelings of the administration with the promise and assurance of presidential pardon should they find themselves the unlikely prospect of being incarcerated in prison for their unlawful criminal acts.
Today under the criminal corrupt incompetent greedy John Dramani Mahama NDC administration, two- states solution policy is being implemented, the state which belongs to the NDC family headed by John Dramani Mahama and the state which belongs to the rest of the citizens headed by the person lying in unmarked grave. This state of affairs and insecurity has given way to the perpetuation of massive dose ofpolitical rascalities, gargantuan levels of illegal acts, massive official corruption which traces its roots to the State House leading to a meltdown of the nation’s economy, the social setting and possible state failure where rule of law lies in the bosom of the powerful and jungle law has become the order of the day. Today, if you do not belong to the NDC fraternity, you do not have any enforced rights. We have lost our bearing discussing people when we should be discussing ideas. The nation can afford to waste precious time, resources and media coverage and allow itself to be distracted to discuss the acts of a lowly leader of a Pentecostal church while massive acts of illegality and criminality are being committed and perpetrated against the nation and the citizens by a criminal gang of political usurpers.
An overworked, overlooked, under-respected, under-resourced neglected justice of the judicial system is tempted to accept goats and yams as gifts and be dismissed with impunity and alacrity and ignominy the following day for bribery and corruption and sleeping on the job. In the same atmosphere of probity and accountability, the number one citizen of the state can in all his glory accept US$100,000 SUV Ford Expedition car possibly stuffed with American green bucks under the seats and inside the upholstery (as evil tongues are rumouring in some ears) from an unlisted foreign contractor as a gift. The source of the gift was because, by being introduced to the number one citizen, a juicy over-bloated state contract was awarded to him to execute, to be followed by others to the seemingly complete satisfaction of the number one citizen who knows nothing about engineering projects and quantity surveying.
Some disheveled unkempt paid agents who openly claim to be working for no other personality than the number one citizen can issue threats to the men and women of the highest seat of the nation’s judicial system. The nature of the threat, the timing of the threat, the personalities at which the threats were directed, the impunity with which the threats were issued, the nature of the public media used to issue the threats, the incorrigible background of the persons issuing the threats, the level of violence within the threats, the criminal minds of the persons issuing the threats, the motivation of the persons to carry out the threats, the readily available means to carry out the threats, the precedence for such violent acts against colleagues of the targeted personalities are all serious issues.
These facts should all have warranted the establishment of a Guantanamo Bay type of prison to keep those miscreants out of civilization for a long time until the state of their mental health has been established and certified under the Hubble Telescope before allowing them back into civilization. Today by an illegal and incompetent use of presidential authority with no regard to the serious political implication for our democratic dispensation, security setup and the sanctity of our judicial system, a person who under all normal circumstances should not be occupying the highest office in the advanced civilized democratic establishments, issues a presidential fiat and releases into the public domain avowed criminals to walk freely in the streets with the their shoulders held high provoking others of their inkling to walk that path of criminality perpetuated by the state under John Dramani Mahama NDC administration.
We have an Electoral Commission headed by a Poison Ivy which suffers from selective amnesia and hiccups and fits and occasionally comes to life to meet the press to issue meaningless edits which can only act as the repercussion to a doomed election. Do we have to ride in a Tico when the Nigerians have donated, as a gift, a brand new‘Ford Election’ for our use in the impending elections?Suddenly we are afraid of accepting gifts. Why is everythingfallingapart in this country and most of the people behaving like the third time the shepherd boy shouted wolf! wolf! wolf!withvirtually everybody siting tightunconcerned while the wolf devours our stock of sheep? Why do we have to tolerate this most obvious corrupt criminal useless incompetent political administration the good people of this country ever fostered on itself?How could the nation stoop so low? May the Almighty Ever Merciful EverCompassionate Allah wake us up from our stupid stupor and do the right things for ourselves, at least for the sake of the generation yet unborn. IshaAlla!!!
