Mahama will give your resources to family and friends; don’t vote for him – Oppong Nkrumah
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has said that Ghanaians should not vote for John Mahama because he cannot be trusted with the resources of the country.
Oppong Nkrumah said that Mahama has a track record of giving the country’s bauxite to his brother Ibrahim Mahama and therefore such a person cannot be given Ghana’s resources to manage.
Oppong once again pointed out that if not for the fact that Nana Addo has taken over the affairs of the country, Mahama would have given 70%of Ghana Bauxite to his brother Ibrahim Mahama.
He said, “In December 2016 when the elections were done and we were preparing for a transition, the administration of the day led by Mr. John Dramani Mahama was working hard to transfer almost 70% of Ghana’s bauxite deposit to a company known as Exton Cubic closely related to Mr. Mahama’s brother”.
The Minister made this known at the New Patriotic Party’s Virtual Rally on Sunday.
The MP for Ofoase-Ayeribi constituency remarked that unlike Mahama, Nana Addo has been distributing the nation’s resources evenly to ensure that everyone benefits from the National cake.
From 2017, when the Nana Addo administration assumed the reins of power, that bauxite was returned to Ghana and it is today being used to build roads and other infrastructure for the young people of this country to benefit. In whose hands can you trust that the natural resources of this country will be best used for young people? God has blessed us with Gold, Oil etc. but it took Nana Addo to say that the Oil revenue should be used to pay the school fees of Ghanaian children”.

JHS Students Must Have Automatic Pass To SHS; Abolish BECE – PPP Chairman
National Chairman of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Nana Ofori Owusu has called on the Government of Ghana to abolish the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).https://nkaros.data.blog
Making his submissions on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’, Nana Ofori posited that the BECE is one major factor contributing to streetism in Ghana.
He stressed that it is unnecessary for Junior High School (JHS) students to write final exams explaining many children are on the streets hawking because they couldn’t pass their basic examination, hence failed to further their education.
“We have to abolish this BECE. The examination is not necessary . . . The statistics of last year and the year before, 40,000 failed. The year before about 45,000 and the year before, it was 100,000 plus. This is a very wicked system . . . PPP is of the view that this BECE thing should be abolished,” he told Kwami Sefa.
The PPP National Chairman advised that JHS students should be given an automatic pass to the Senior High Schools.
“You can’t have an education policy that sifts school children to stay home. If you’re sifting in terms of where their interests are and where their strengths are, it’s a different issue. But if you’re sifting to make someone go ahead and leave others behind, it’s a dangerous sifting . . . You can’t have a system where at the age of 13 years old, some children are at home and selling bread, dog chains and so forth on the streets. You can’t have this system because it is a wicked system. The system is not for the most of us; it is for the least of us,” he said.
Meanwhile, this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) has begun on Monday, September 14, 2020, and will end on Friday, September 18, 2020, nationwide for all Junior High School (JHS) final year students.

John Mahama Must Learn The Northern Etiquette From Bawumia And Stop The Politics Of Insults And Tribal Bigotry
It is trite knowledge that northerners in this part of our world (Ghana) are well known for upholding certain social values including tolerance, humility and respect for opposing views. As a northerner myself, just like many others, we have, owing to our upbringing, longed cherished these values which have been passed on to our generation and we are expected to pass on same to the next generation. That is who we are. It is our way of life; it is our culture; it is our etiquette; and we damn love it.
In whatever we do, we are guided by these values which we cherish so much. It is what defines us and makes us unique. In politics, just like in many other disciplines, we have largely committed ourselves to upholding and maintaining these values. It is what has endeared us to people of other sectional and tribal orientation. It is the reason why we are loved by all.https://nkaros.data.blog
And indeed, it is the reason why one of our recent sensation and probably our finest in the past decade or two, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is loved by the Ghanaian people. The soft-spoken Vice President of the Republic has stuck to the very etiquette that uniquely defines who we are. He is humble; he is tolerant, he is respectful and more importantly, he has stuck to the politics of issues rather than politics of personality.
Dr. Bawumia’s emergence onto the country’s political landscape has drastically changed the face of our body politic from one of personality and propaganda to politics of issues and data. In all his public pronouncements and award winning lectures, he speaks to issues of facts and data. Anytime the political atmosphere is contaminated with ugly noises, Dr. Bawumia comes in with issues-based and “data politics” whereupon our energies are directed into interrogating the issues and data he puts across
Today, because of Bawumia, economic statistics take central stage in our political discourse. We also talk about everything digital in line with the technological advancements in the world order. And indeed, most recently, because of Bawumia, we now talk about digital infrastructure. Whether you like him or not, you cannot take away the fact that Dr. Bawumia has carved an enviable niche for himself and has added so much vitality to the northern brand in politics.
Another unique thing about this great son of the north is the humility with which he communicates issues even where he strongly disagrees with you. He is always wishing his fierce opponents and detractors well even where they are wishing him evil. He is often times being blamed for being too gentle and accommodating but that will not stop him from being who he is; an embodiment of respect, humility and tolerance. This is consistent with the northern etiquettes.
Whereas it is true that Dr. Bawumia has stuck to these etiquettes and is making northerners proud, his opposite number and brother on the other side of the political divide, John Mahama of the NDC is doing the exact opposite. Anytime John Mahama’s name pops up in the news, he is either calling Asantes ungrateful people; or describing Akyems as Sakawa and Mafia people; or using expressions like “useless and baloney” to refer to people who disagree with him; or telling us he has a ‘yentie obiaa dead goat syndrome”; or telling Ghanaians that we are not qualified to criticize him except persons who have been Presidents before; or telling us that President Akufo-Addo is likely to die very soon because he is too short.
With all due respect to former president Mahama, such reprehensible conduct is not only un-Ghanaian but is also a complete departure from the cultural etiquette of the people of the north, where you come from. You can certainly do much better than that. Do not allow partisan politics make you destroy our collective heritage which was bequeathed to us by our ancestors. Let the north represent what it has always been known for.
I beg of you Mr. John Mahama to please stop destroying our cherished values. Stop desecrating the northern brand. Be tolerant and respectful to all manner of persons including your political opponents. Stick to the politics of issues. Be a source of inspiration to us and stop making politics dirty and unattractive particularly for those of us from the north. If for nothing at all, learn from your northern brother, Dr. Bawumia and put a STOP to the politics of insults and tribal bigotry. It will take you and your party NOWHERE. Be a credible alternative.
