Did lioness otiko Djaba this time shun her arrogance and appologised? She should be told in plain words that, Ghana have had strong and powerful women who are and were more lioness &powerful than her, but they humbled themselves and rendered appology when they go wrong. That's to say they believed in their virtues and eshews arrogance and Otiko should learn from them if she really wanted to be counted amongst the strong and powerful women of this country.
THE NPP FEELS THAT THE AKANS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM SO THEY WILL DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE AND BURN THE LAWS OF THE STATE ANYTIME THEIR MINISTERS AND FUNCTIONARIES GOES WRONG. SADLY, THEY ARE IN A COLLISION WITH SOME EDUCATED F-OOLS AND GREEDY PASTORS AND WICKID POLITICAL RADIO AND TV HOST IN THIS PRACTICE. GOD IS NOT COMING SOON AND I KNOW WE ALL AS PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR THIS BAD GOVERNANCE BEING PRACTICE BY THE NPP.ALL THAT WE ARE DOING TODAY IS BEING RECORDED AND EACH ONE OF US WILL PAY A PRICE ACCORDING TO YOUR INVOLVEMENT WHEN THE PAY DAY COMES.
Thanks for the updates. We will be looking foward for more updates. Raphael ‘wabon paa’. your english stinks.
I just dont get it. So a common apology is all what the NPP is asking for? What then happens to the murder and bribery allegation? If he claims all that was a slip of tongue, then waht about the bribery allegation against Mahama? What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.
Oh lovely. What a formidable Party in government. This is now a respectable Ghana. So far, so good. Nana and NPP, well done.
