Litmus: Crude sexuality and crude swear words are almost always the signature of a Ghanaian poster. Or at the very least a Nigerian who schooled or grew up in Ghana.

you are talking rubbish,huh? dummy the dumb dumb. disgusting piece of sh1t.

Eebrahym: That's no news any longer.......Ghanians are very corrupt, u should know from their movies

Yes ooooh, Ghanaians are very corrupt and nigerians are angels,huh? utter nonsense

stop smoking that grass,huh? abi na generator fumes or is it poverty-induced?

Ckariam: ATTENTION: The Following analysis is true and based on research. There is no pornographic image in the article, so READ ON!.

This is not the type of issue that I will love to write about but since I am not acting it or showing you anything, I believe it is okay for historical benefit to document this interesting phenomenon.
My attention was first drawn to this issue when I was reading articles on Ameyaw Debrah’s website Ameyawdebrah.com, I noticed that the most read articles had to do with sex, or make love or anything that has to do with intimacy.
Ameyawdebrah.com is the 27th most visited website in Ghana, and if out of all his contributions to the entertainment and celebrity issues, the most read or according to his own words ‘Readers Pick’ were the following:

1. http://www.ameyawdebrah.com/big-brother-the-chase-watch-Hot-beverly-making-love-in-the-bath-tub-with-angelo-bbathechase/ 26,459 views

2. Scandal: X-rated video of Big Brother – The Chase housemate leaked – 18128 views.

3. Big Brother The Chase – Did Selly give it away too early and how does Praye Tietia feel? – 17618 views

So I decided to check out the latest top 100 websites visited in Ghana, and also compare it with Nigeria top 100 websites. So I went to Alexa.com, the web information company to tell me and you, without partiality which of the two nations Nigeria and Ghana watches porn than the other. It was sad but at least Nigeria has carried last in this one, Ghana won! My people Ghana defeated Nigeria in this aspect.

It is not a commendable victory, it only goes further to prove the hypocritical attitude of our friends. Yes! Shout it everywhere that Nigerians are 419! What else? The sin of fornication or Adultery from my religious background is more grievous than dishonesty.

Now according to Alexa rankings and top 100 websites visited in Ghana, the 33rd position was a porn website, it is even visited more than jobs.com.gh which is 49th, then 51, 61 and 62nd are all pornorgarphy websites. The patronage obviously is high and clearly the figures may fluctuate but it is usually within the same range.

In Nigeria, pornographic websites rank 72nd, sometimes it comes down to 69th. So compared to Ghana where such website ranks 33rd, and subsequently assume other positions within the top 100 most visited websites but in Nigeria only one is among the top 100 most visited websites.
The society is eroding and pornography is a strong weapon to that effect, my fear is with primary schools and JHS and even SHS using tablets as a learning tool, I wonder how many youths are falling victim to it. It is addictive experts have concluded and the foundation for a weak family unit and tradition emanates from this ill. It requires personal discipline, serious prayers to avoid this serious crisis.

Let me warn those who will avoid to talk about the issue at hand to condemn the writer. In the first place I am not Alexa.com, I am not Ameyawdebrah.com, data used in this analysis was derived both locally and globally. The objective of this information is to alert us of the reality and then call for change, an invitation to examine the serious problem facing Ghana.

If something is not done about it, the consequences will be disastrous. Also other West African States should beware, because if the Gateway has fallen, hmmm na Wahala o!

what is this one talking about? So upon all the montrous problems facing your country, it is the level of indecency in Ghana that is your biggest problem,huh? Fuckeduppedsness

90% of your countrymen and women survive on less than $2 a day, according to the World Bank. Life expectancy is a miserable 52 years, access to electricity is nothing to write home about.https://www.nairaland.com/1314971/120m-nigerians-without-electricity-f Boko Haram in the north, kidnappings in the south-south, baby factories ands armed robberies in south-east, oil bunkering in south-south, armed robbery in south-west.

desertification in the north, gully erosion in the east, deforestation in the south-west!

Malaria kills 300,000 in your country every year and 97% of the population is at risk. pneumonia kills 200,000 children in your country per annum.

According to WHO, your country has a rate of 143 deaths per 1000 births.

To organise a simple election in Anambra today, your govt has to deploy troops, tanks, fighter jets and impose a 20-hour curfew


Instead of addressing the huge problems threatening to push your country into the dustbin, you are here busy spewing arrant crap,huh? What the hell is in this mudder- fugger's head sef?

[quote author=Osita_inklord]that's a reasonable point though....
I heard its gonna be officially launched in Ghana. that's sad. Nigeria would be a better market. I'm dreaming of that phone already. *_* ^_^[/quote]Can you imagine the nonsense you just typed. What is sad if it is being launched in Ghana? Must everything be done in your country? crap

ogeoflyf: Op. are you a ghanaian ?
Y did you shift the story to Naija lady na

can you prove she's Ghanaian?

chima12: The olokola free trade zone can be used by the plastic, allied petrochemical industries and other manufacturing industries to keep it alive as a manufacturing/industial zone.

There is no way delta state resources will be moved by pipelines to ondo state for proccessing.Those days are gone.nigeria can pipe gas to ghana or other countries,what they pipe is the finished products which is sold to the receiving nations,delta state resources will no longer be stolen.Delta state is already making sure of that.

The delta industrial gas city is a private sector driven project as well.if dangote tries to exploit delta state resources to feed his facility in ondo state or any state outside the real niger delta/southsouth,he will have his hands burnt.jim and elumelu are only representing their banks.they have nothing to lose.

The West African Gas Project is so far a big flop. There isn't much gas flowing through that pipeline. Ghana has contracted 120/140 million scf/day, but currently is lucky to receive even half of that. The Ghanaian govt has complained so often it is now tired and won't be bothered. Instead, it is working real hard to finish its own $1 billion gas project, due for completion next year. With that in place, no one will care much about whether gas flows through the west african gas pipeline, or not. There is no political will to make the west african gas pipeline work, and that is a shame after over a billion dollars had been wasted on the project.

sCun: I wonder where she got the Lebanese part from. She is claiming she is Ghanaian and knows more about Ghana and the people more than I do bla bla bla. One of those who learn about their countries from the internet and end up mixing up things.

liberian, lebanese, syrian, Ghanaian or whatever - does it matter? SMH

[quote author=Ezemmuo_1]look very well that is not naija police but Ghana police[/quote]how is it the Ghana police when the incident happened in Zambia? nothing you guys wont want to associate with Ghana! SMH

sCun: I have been there and it is nothing to wirte home about

it depends on what you define as 'nothing to write home about' huh? can you be more specific as to what and what did not work for you at Accra airport- that works better in Lagos? and is lagos airport anything to write home about? next time you go through Accra airport, try and remove your anti-Ghana lenses and look at things more objectively,huh?

the critical ingredients in defining an airport facility is whether facilities work or not. I can say while things may not work 100%, there is a great chance facilities work better at the Accra airport than Lagos. I go through the Accra airport regularly and see facilities work efficiently , much more than than I have seen at the Lagos airport or any other airport in your country.

I recall going through Abuja airport a few years ago, and the customs officials wanted to physically search my hand luggage. I protested and asked the head of the team why they did not have scanners. He said they had broken down and asked whether I can buy one for them. I told him I didn't mind buying one for them but thought it was a big disgrace that a country like nigeria cannot afford to replace a faulty scanner. So you see, even your own airports are nothing to write home about,huh? the lagos airport is like oshodi motor park

sCun: What nonsense! You read an article that has the quote below
you agreed with it whole heartedly, then went on to suggest we need a President that will make us like Ghana - another third world country, isn't that the mediocrity the writer was talking about? You asked me if I've ever travelled out, okay we are talking about Airports here, have you ever been to Ghana's Kotoka international airport? You probably go there by road. I have a lot to say about the airport, but it is better I show you what others think including Ghanaians themselves.
ACCRA KOTOKA AIRPORT customer review : 25 March 2013 by D Tan (Malaysia)
Rating : 3/10
Lack of air-conditioning facilities. Officers going through your bag after check in to "ensure" nothing illegal, definitely made my luggage messy after hours of arranging and packing at my hotel. Asking passengers of certain zone to board first, which all have to board the first bus, and other subsequent zone will board the 2nd bus. In the end, both buses arrived at the plane at the same time, making it crowded. If that is the case, what is the point of asking passengers of certain zone to board first? Totally disappointed with the staff/ officers in the airport.

Okay, let me ask you a small question,huh? have you been to the Accra airport personally. or are your assumptions about the airport based purely on this story you picked from the Internet?

haibe: it's possible you haven't gone out of the country before so I won't say much.

In general Ghana is currently better than nigeria unless if you want us to be biased, am proud of my country but I won't be deceiving myself, if nigeria is currently like ghana now, we will have less to talk about.

Well its obvious you are kid seeing the way you replied my post, a matured person knows how to counter arguments politely.

don't mind him jare. most of these people are simply blinded by 'negative patriotism.'

the first step to solving a problem is to admit you have a problem, not to deny it and assume it will go away.


most have never step outside Nigeria and believe all the crap they are told. there is an old adage that says travel and see.....

sCun: You are a big fool! See your useless ambition. Are we supposed to move forward or backward?

Funny guy. you don't know for naija to reach Ghana's level is a sign of improvement,huh? hahahahahaha just compare how the two countries perform in key indices, such as access to potable water, health care, personal security,electricity, education,poverty levels, life expectancy. Ghana is even ahead on FIFA rankings!

collynzo2: Here is a transcript of the leaked conversation.
.
http://m.peacefmonline.com/pages/politics/politics/201311/179920.php
.
Some of the key issues:
* She suggested the president, through one of his appointees, met with the judges before the supreme court ruling and got the verdict in their favour.

* She claimed one of the female ministers slept with several men from the ruling party before getting her ministerial appointment.

* She said she had a target of $1 million to make in her political career.

Now which of these three issues is a more powerful reason to sack her from the president's point of view. People judge! I am out.

chai, seems this bobo just wants to make his contrived insinuation that the president may have influenced the court verdict stick at all cost I didn't see anything in the transcript that suggested that. She was alleged to have said the following I learnt even before even the verdict, Nana was with the Justices and all that. You don’t know the role she has played for us to win the court case. these were two young women chit-chatting, gossiping as most women do- nothing to be taken seriously.

and you think knowing Ghanaian politics, if indeed she said anything even remotely to suggest what you are busy insinuating, the opposition party won't be all over the place making a meal of it? any sensible person knows there is nothing tangible to remotely insinuate what you seem hell-bent on insinuating.


Blow-By-Blow Account Of the Infamous Vickyleaks Conversation

Updated: 09-Nov-2013

Victoria Hammah went to bed on Thursday evening still a minister in the John Mahama-led NDC Administration. But by Friday morning, she was a persona non-grata following her dismissal from the position of Deputy Communications Minister by the president in a statement issued by Minister of Information and Media Relations, Mahama Ayariga.

It is trite knowledge that the infamous leaked tape, now described rather wittily as vickyleaks, purported to contain her voice, had a lot to do with her being relieved of her duties.

Victoria Hammah is heard on the tape indicating her determination to make one million dollars in politics before involving herself in any rancour. She also claimed among other things that a minister played a role in the Supreme Court judgment of the 2012 election petition which confirmed President Mahama as validly elected president.

The tape was first played on Neat FM's "Me Man Nti" show hosted by Adakabre Frimpong Manso.

On the over 30minutes tape recording of the two ladies - who appeared to be travelling while having the gossipy conversation – she blabbed about how politically connected she was and how a colleague deputy minister at the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Rachel Appoh, secured her appointment after having dated men in the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Peacefmonline.com has tried its best to transliterate what the two ladies said.








UNKOWN LADY: On radio today, they called her (Rachel’s) Chief; the Chief of her place. Is it Daily Guide? So, they were discussing it on Okay FM. And they placed a call to one of their Chiefs. He said (inaudible voice) they won't sit there. Their royal has come to tell them that she's not happy and does not have an office.

UNKNOWN LADY: And I said; so, this girl is so foolish to this extent that she can go to the Chiefs and tell them what goes on in the Ministry. That they won't sit down for Nana Oye Lithur to mistreat their royal.

UNKNOWN LADY: (Inaudible voice) then, she should resign. They won't allow it. Oh! So, Kwame Nkrumah ask him that Nana, I plead with you, please have you also gone to ask Maame Oye Lithur regarding the seeming bad blood between her and your royal. And is it true that she has said that she will beat her? He said they have done [their] investigations to know that she’s not on good terms with her. ‘From day one, she doesn’t like her. So, they’ve told the President to reshuffle her or else, anything could happen to their royal in the morning’.

UNKNOWN LADY: And I said; this girl, you’ve gone to this extent. Every day, they discuss her issue on radio (inaudible voice). Leave her. Do your part, you’re doing your best to help her out but if she won’t give a care, stop it. Every day, your name is in the papers. Every day, they’re discussing your issue. It’s very bad. So, you cannot find any elderly person or party member to resolve the issue. Journalists have taken charge of it and now, you’ve also sent it to your hometown for your Chiefs to keep up with the issue (inaudible voice). She doesn’t understand politics. She thinks maybe because she’s a Minister, they cannot fire her.

VIC: She said she is unperturbed even if she sacked from office. And I said (inaudible voice), you’ll lose your prestige. Rachel is dull but I am very intelligent.

UNKNOWN LADY: (Inaudible voice), she was not articulate during her vetting. It was in the papers that she wasn’t expressive. When she was vetted, she couldn’t talk. Let her be in her corner and be her MP. (Inaudible voice), maybe she doesn’t know that when she is sacked, it won’t affect her prestige.

VIC: She said they should re-assign her. The President should reshuffle her and send her where? So, when she is dismissed, she will rest in the house.

UNKNOWN LADY: As you said, Nana Oye was her Nana Oye before she got a Ministerial appointment. Who doesn’t know Nana Oye? Both international and local, we know her. (Indistinct voice)

VIC: And her husband is no mean person than Tony Lithur; President’s lawyer (laughs amidst indistinct voice).

UNKNOWN LADY: It appears she did not think about it well. There are some people you don’t court trouble for yourself with. Ladies are like that. Anywhere three ladies meet, there is trouble. You were very lucky to have been sent to a place where a male is the head. If it were to be a lady or an office for two ladies (incomplete voice)

VIC: (Inaudible voice). Me, Multi TV; what didn’t I see at Multi TV?

UNKNOWN LADY: Ladies lack character. Rachel, as you said, she is arrogant. Because no matter what, Nana Oye Lithur is older than you and is also your boss. So, in any case, you have to know how to (inaudible voice), just do what you’re told to do. Yes boss, yes boss; (inaudible voice), will she also control you in your house too? (Inaudible voice), every day, then they are discussing you on radio. Every day, then the papers will take it on. She should be careful. Her household should advise her. Then they also held a press conference. They should have talked to her a lot. She went to tell them a different thing.

UNKNOWN LADY: They asked him that Nana (chief of Gomoa), are you not sure that your royal (Rachel) has massaged her side of the story? But have you gone to the mother she’s working with to ask her about the issue? They said, no. (Inaudible voice) One person has told her part of the story to you and you won’t go and ask the other party about what really transpired. Because she is your royal, she has said this nicely. But maybe, she is the one to be blamed and doesn’t want to accept it. And maybe because she wants to denigrate the woman, that’s why it is out.

VIC: Rachel; Anita Owusu told me that Rachel is very ambitious (inaudible voice). You can’t fight your Minister and you want to be friends with me. Does Tony Lithur not have clout for Oye to be my enemy?

UNKNOWN LADY: She will be your enemy forever. Just stay away from her. Let her go.

VIC: Oh, I have stayed away forever.

UNKNOWN LADY: When she calls to find out how you’re faring; oh, you’re busy. So, you’ll call her back. That’s all.

VIC: This Rachel who was even stuttering during vetting. (Inaudible voice)

UNKNOWN LADY: She should humble herself. She said she will disgrace Nana Oye Lithur. And I said, what can you do to disgrace her?

VIC: Who?

UNKNOWN LADY: Rachel

VIC: Where did she say it?

UNKNOWN LADY: They said it in the papers; that she will disgrace her. And I said, you’ll disgrace her but what do you know about her? For how long have you worked with her? And what has she done that you want to discredit her. If you dare scandalize her, then, you’ve also brought shame on yourself. This Rachel is very bold.

VIC: You, Rachel, have become ‘born one’. Oye Lithur is (inaudible expression) married.

UNKNOWN LADY: So, why do you want to disgrace her?

VIC: She said it’s affecting her relationship. And I said; it’s your fault. Even the fiancé she wants to marry will jilt her. As soon as she loses her ministerial appointment, her boyfriend will ditch her. Is that how you do things? Oye Lithur didn’t go public, you did.

UNKNOWN LADY: Yes, she will let it out. Yet, you’re her subordinate. She should be careful. If her family won’t tell her, just leave her life for her. In politics, each one for himself…(Inaudible voice)

VIC: Everybody has their way of doing things. You, Sena, have your own way. I say she will be alone. The President won’t speak on this matter (inaudible voice). Now, you can’t go to Oye Lithur’s place. You will still be a deputy in that office but Oye won’t delegate any responsibility to you.

UNKNOWN LADY: Then, you’ll just stay there.

VIC: You’re just there.

UNKNOWN LADY: When you close, you pick your bag and go. Your boss, how can you be at loggerheads with her?

VIC: Why can’t you Rachel just humble yourself at all in this world you’re in?

UNKNOWN LADY: Or she is from an affluent family, right?

VIC: What money? (Inaudible voice) So, you were not there at first. Her father is very wretched.

UNKNOWN LADY: She won’t think about him. Nana Oye Lithur’s educational background; you’ve not even attained a quarter.

VIC: When she calls me, I don’t pick up again. (Inaudible voice), I cannot walk with you.

UNKNOWN LADY: Yes, it will affect you.

VIC: It will affect me.

UNKNOWN LADY: As for that, just think about yourself. If everybody in their Ministry were to bring their boss’ issue out, will it be proper?

VIC: Recently, what Omane (Boamah, Minister of Communications) did to me? And I said you think nobody (inaudible voice).

UNKNOWN LADY: You think nobody has a problem. Everybody has a problem but everybody has decided to be quiet.

VIC: What Omane (Boamah) did to me; I went to him for money but as for me, I can live with it. He is a Minister, so, it’s his time.

UNKNOWN LADY: You shut up.

VIC: That’s his time.

UNKNOWN LADY: You too, your time will come.

VIC: Your time will come.

UNKNOWN LADY: So, just submit to him.

VIC: (Inaudible voice). Nana (inaudible name) has grown wings. I was shocked when she said that.

UNKNOWN LADY: You say your boss has grown wings. In any case, were you the one who watched her grow wings?

VIC: When she said that, I was shocked. (Inaudible voice), “Nana Oye has grown wings”.

UNKNOWN LADY: But how well does she know her for her to say she (Oye Lithur) has grown wings? If it’s somebody you cater for then you can say she’s grown wings.

VIC: When God takes away wisdom from you? The spirit of humility! (Inaudible name), tells me that I should always be humble. Be humble every day. If you humble yourself, the person gives you everything. Omane (Boamah), for instance, gives me everything. He gives me everything.

UNKNOWN LADY: When you work wholeheartedly, he will give you the work. If he has money, he will give you.

VIC: I mean sometimes you go wrong. I told Rachel that sometimes if I err, I write a note (email) apologizing to Omane Boamah. You can’t do this to your boss.

UNKNOWN LADY: So, every time, he likes you. I think lack of humility is her problem.

VIC: Rachel’s problem is humility. It won’t take long, it will destroy her (inaudible voice).

UNKNOWN LADY: That too, if you don’t have, it will destroy your life.

VIC: I tell you Rachel is arrogant. We attended a funeral rite. Hon. Collins Dauda’s wife came but couldn’t find a place to sit down. So, I stood up and offered her my seat but Rachel told me to sit down. And I said Collins Dauda’s wife, even if I’m older than her, she’s my Minister wife because she’s equal to her husband. And I said, Rachel, you’re not humble at all.

UNKNOWN LADY: Just consider the fact that if it was an elderly woman, so, you wouldn’t give up your seat for her?

VIC: Oh, she’s a young girl. Not that she’s an elderly woman; your Minister’s wife? When we went to the funeral in Kumasi, as Omane’s wife was seated; I was standing beside her when Omane was not around till Omane came.

UNKNOWN LADY: So, that is how it should be. Thus, you are always in the person’s good books. Then, that Rachel has a problem.

VIC: You show submission and love to them.

UNKNOWN LADY: She has a problem.

VIC: Why, is Omane’s wife a kid? Will she lose her way? She won’t get lost but that’s your Minister’s wife. Rachel will never serve her Minister’s wife. Me, I can serve Omane’s wife. You won’t humble yourself at all in this world. I don’t want to see her face again in my life.

UNKNOWN LADY: But she’s not beautiful too.

VIC: Oh, where’s Rachel’s beauty? Paul (inaudible name) said oh, no, she’s beautiful. And I said; why, Paul, this is what you want?

UNKNOWN LADY: (Inaudible voice) you’re not pretty yet you won’t also humble yourself. And you’re so arrogant.

VIC: You do some makeup (inaudible voice). Rachel is not beautiful. Sena is rather beautiful.

UNKNOWN LADY: Sena is a beautiful girl.

VIC: Sena rather humbles herself. She talks with humility.

UNKNOWN LADY: Rachel really has a problem.

VIC: Rachel is exposing herself too much.

UNKNOWN LADY: (Inaudible voice) within this short time, you’ve started. Ministers, Deputy Ministers; when they fight; it doesn’t come out in the (news) papers for them to say like hers.

VIC: She sends it.

UNKNOWN LADY: But if she doesn’t send it, how will they get to know?.

VIC: Thinking you’ll destroy Oye Lithur. But she doesn’t know she’s destroying her own self but when we say it to a point, then it remains there. It ends.

UNKNOWN LADY: Oye Lithur, can something move her? Even when Ghanaians vilified her that the President should not give her a position, it didn’t even ruffle her.

VIC: As for me, I don’t want to get close to Rachel at all.

UNKNOWN LADY: Let her be. She’s averse to good counsel.

VIC: She doesn’t listen.

UNKNOWN LADY: So, leave her to live her life.

VIC: I will say that (inaudible voice) Rachel, the way you’re becoming unpopular with (inaudible voice); I want to stay away from you for a while. Because you’re my friend; Oye too is my friend. Oye was my friend before I got to know you. You must always join the bigger side. You’re throwing pebbles against a giant.

VIC: Do you know that some people of Akan descent rained insults on me because of Rachel? Afia Pokuaa. (Inaudible voice)

UNKNOWN LADY: I see; that Afia Pokuaa.

VIC: Afia Pokuaa can insult me? (Speaking inaudibly)

VIC: Do you recall when we were going for the vetting, Rachel called me and I gave her a few lessons?

VIC: And she was also saying, in the morning, you will also be vetted yet you have time for someone. I gave Rachel some guidelines. (Inaudible interaction) She said; she’s an MP. She said; she wants to link me up with a male partner. (Inaudible expression amidst car horns) Can you get me a boyfriend? You, with this ugly face?

UNKNOWN LADY: Does she know your taste in men?

VIC: Such ugly face.

UNKNOWN LADY: Why didn’t you tell her that if you were really in need of a male partner, you would have about 2000 men at your beck and call?

VIC: She doesn’t even know.

UNKNOWN LADY: You’re just not ready. If the two of you are to go soliciting for men, who would someone prefer first?

VIC: Don’t mind her.

UNKNOWN LADY: She has a huge problem. (Indistinct interaction)

VIC: So, Oye is bad (inaudible voice). But there are two of you at the ministry, why is that you think she hates you? If she’s such a bad person, Sena is the more beautiful one, has a great body and well-endowed at the hips; why does she not hate Sena? But you, with this ugly face; you think she detests you? It’s your character. Everybody knows if Oye will fight with someone, then, probably it should be with Sena not you.

VIC: "Why should she be at war with the Minister? What's the point? People and ambition. People do not just buy their time."

VIC: She thinks Oye Lithur is not giving her chance to shine. But take a look at the constitution okay? There’s no role for [Deputy]. Actually, Deputy position is not in the constitution. There’s no defined role. Everything about the Minister; the performance contract between the President is with the Minister.

VIC: That Rachel (inaudible voice). I told her. You say Oye, how can you fight OyeLithur? (Inaudible voice) If she just decide to lower her ego. I mean I told her that in the constitution, Oye can even decide (car noise). (Inaudible voice) so, the real appointment is the Minister appointment. Deputy is to support the Minister (inaudible voice) and she says that none of his people have become Minister before. I said, listen to me; the constitution also says that President may appoint Ministers. The only portfolio that’s defined by the constitution is the Attorney General.

VIC: So, the point is that a lot of us, young people, are ambitious and meanwhile they don’t read. And they are not politically astute. Before you fire any ammunition, you must see whether your opponent has more than what you have. You have no pedigree; no pedigree. [You don’t have a father] Your father is a Chairman in the NPP. One of the constituency Chairmen in NPP, then, you want to fight a woman that her appointment elicited attack from the church including Presby Church. But yet, the President went ahead to confirm her.

VIC: You must look at the way you are appointed first; the consideration of the appointment before. Rachel appears to be holier than thou but she’s deadly. Me, I know her. She appears to be decent in public. That’s the public perception about her. I cannot do half what she does. She has dated men in the party. I’ve not dated anybody in the party but people think I’m rather dating people in the party. So, that look helps her in the public, Oye has bad public image.

VIC: But here in Ghana, public propriety is not important. Anane; Kufour left Anane’s post for Anane to return and have it back. What did Ghanaians not say? You understand. So, the person is in office, the President is in office. Now, you can find a journalist saying that, well, the President has no discretion. The President can even decide not to have Ministers, you understand, but he cannot decide not to have an Attorney General. So, you must measure all these variables.”

VIC: Tony Lithur has been the friend of the Rawlingses, been a friend to the President John, now and his wife. I learnt even before even the verdict, Nana was with the Justices and all that. You don’t know the role she has played for us to win the court case. Then, you want to use your unintelligence to overthrow her. Yeah.

holyvirgin: 3rd most corrupt country in the world.

fuckeduppedness hahahahahaha seems you are laughing on the wrong side of your mouth,huh?

ba7man: This report can't be true. The Ghanians are still learners compared to Nigerians concerning Corruption.

We should stop consolling ourselves with these kinds of report.

hahahahaha at least there are still some sensible ones. how can any one in his/her right frame of mind compare the level of corruption of Ghana to that of Nigeria? You see in Nigeria, officials are not only corrupt but corruption is official.

If corruption is a human being,huh? it would have received chieftaincy titles, honorary doctorate degrees, national honours and all kind of appellations and recognition across the land. Its name would be something like this .........His Excellency, Sir,Distinguished, Honourable High Chief Professor Dr.Alhaji Corruption, Commander-in-Thief, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) GCON,CON MON

Rossikk: You're wrong. Ghana MUST be far more corrupt than Nigeria for them to even still be on similar development levels with Nigeria.

Ghana has just 20 odd million people - roughly the population of Lagos. Yet she is the 2nd largest producer of gold in Africa after South Africa, and the world's largest producer and exporter of cocoa. They also export manganese, iron ore, copper, rubber, bauxite etc etc, and lately Oil and Gas.

I mean, they should be living like Kuwaitians or folks in UAE. Nigeria can claim they have 170 million people to cater for. What is GHANA's excuse?

Their problem is the people there are far too docile NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST DOCILE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD to identify corruption or corrupt leaders, and have swallowed AND YOU DID NOT SWALLOW WORSE UNDER ABACHA AND BABANGIDA? the ''Ghanaian leaders are saints'' and ''Ghana is corruption-free'' propaganda, so huge amounts are siphoned by the leaders, with nobody knowing or saying anything. That's the problem they have there.

you think you wrote something sensible,huh? so having Ghana's population of 25 equaling the population of Lagos state (whose geographic size is less than Greater Accra region) is an achievement abi? no wonder you breed like pigs! I didn't know there is gold medal for breeding poor spastic retarded children

I have news for you. Corruption or no corruption, Ghana is marching forward at all levels. We are not there yet, but we are going in the right direction and by the grace of God, we will get to our destination very soon.5 years now you'll see where Ghana will be. check out the United Nations Human Development Index to know how Ghana and Nigeria stack up against each other on a range of issues- from poverty levels, to access to water, electricity, personal security, food, life expectancy etc etc

Hope you can say the same for your country,huh? If I were you, I would be worried by some very troubling statistics that currently define your country,compiled by one of your compatriots. Enjoy it

With the current state and direction of both the government and the people of Nigeria—Africa’s largest nation and the world’s most populated black country—the nation is not headed for improvement on these shameful rankings, but more predictably to slide further down the ladder into the darkest crevices of the black hole of Calcutta.
The question is: To act or to give-up? And the follow-up question is: If we the people decide to do something, what should and can we do?

danot1030: u ar delusion, i hav ghanians friends and they ar eager 2 leav ghana.

You have Ghanaian friends and they are eager to leave Ghana? and you don't have nigerian families and friends who are literally fleeing you country, abi? oya, read what your nigerian brother posted about the desperation of nigerians to leave their country http://www.punchng.com/opinion/letters/ill-treatment-of-nigerians-at-embassies/


Ill-treatment of Nigerians at embassies
October 30, 2013 by Our Reader

I paid a visit to an embassy (a first world country embassy) sometime ago, alongside a brother. We arrived very early in the morning in order to get a registration number among the first 10 people but I was shocked when I discovered that as early as that was, many Nigerians were already swarming around the gate like bees which have just located nectar. I witnessed a mini crowd of people who wanted visas to travel out of the country. I could not help asking, “What is wrong with us?” I know readers would want to quickly point out to me that those people might have very good reasons to want to travel outside the country. Some might want to go for further studies, visit their relatives or even to seek greener pastures. But the question is, how much humiliation do we have to subject ourselves to in order to get those visas? No matter how good our reasons may be.

A well-travelled human resource personnel spoke about her visit to the American embassy in order to renew her visa. Since you have to be attended to without any form of privacy, it means the other people in line would know if you were granted the visa or not. She witnessed a young white folk asking a Nigerian student what he needed a visa for. He replied that he wanted to go for his Master’s degree in Economics. Then, the officer asked him, “Define recession”. At first, he was dumb-founded because he felt he was not coming for an examination or job interview. At most, documents to prove his admission into the foreign school could have been requested and not a subjection to random quizzing. Where is that protocol enshrined in the visa-granting policy? Is this another face of mockery? Though this Nigerian hesitated, as if caught in a frenzy, he went on to give a brilliant definition of the concept. On the same day, a nun who also wanted to travel, was asked to list the first four books of the New Testament and she went on reciting Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and so on instead of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. She was simply another apprehensive Nigerian caught in this web.

It is no longer news that Nigerians now have to pay a bond of about N750,000 if they would gain entry into the United Kingdom. As disturbing and unsettling as this move is, nothing irks one more than to discover that Nigerians would not still mind borrowing money from friends, families or even sell property all in a bid to get visas. We can take a cue from T.Y. Bello’s track and believe in the ‘Nigerian Dream’ because our land is not just green; it is greener than some of these places we rush to. Probably, we would put on our thinking caps now that the American visa lottery has Nigerians exempted from its programme. We need to build our country for this is where we belong when all has been and done.

Fuckeduppedness

so Ghana is the third most corrupt country in the world,abi? and what is nigeria's position? hahahaha Mallam Alhaji General Dr Muhammadu Buhari don talk im own finish http://scannewsnigeria.com/featured-post/nigeria-is-the-most-corrupt-country-of-the-world-buhari/ hahahahaha Buhari is your former ruler so his views about your country can't be taken lightly,huh?

when it comes to corruption, the only ranking that matters is the annual corruption index posted by Transparency International. any other one is completely useless fuckeduppedness

collynzo2: Thanks for this. I've read through most of the comments and you are the only one who seems to see it from my angle. Some Nigerians are very objective and analytical when it is a Nigerian issue, but when it is any thing foreign they lose all objectivity and become sentimental. If it were Jonathan, they would have asked ''why was he in a haste to sack her without investigating, what was he trying to hide''? In that same tape she also accused the president of rigging the elections and influencing the supreme courts ruling on the petition, isn't that a bigger reason to sack her? Do any of the posters blasting Jonathan because of this honestly believe he wouldn't have sacked any minister who accused him of such even though in a supposedly private discussion?

talking trash as usual,huh? where in the alleged tape did she accuse the President of rigging the elections? even those meaningless links you posted did not say that. so where did you get that rubbish from? inside molue abi na palmwine joint? the rigging of election exists only in your fragile, generator fumes compromised brain

is there anywhere she claimed the president rigged the election? I read something about her claiming someone played a key role in the judgment. is that the basis for making the assumption someone rigged an election? seems talking trash is in your DNA,huh?

fuckeduppedness

Limaoscar: Thanks Bruv.
I rerad through the whole links at it is clear some mischievious people on NL thrieve in mis-informing the ignorant and gaullible then political opponents of Nigeria's ruling party as well will normally capitalise on some half baked information from far away 27 0r 29 million village and start riping nigeria's integrity apart.

Whack a con! did you say you read through those meaningless links and found a serious allegation about the ruling party influencing the court ruling on the election petition?. can you provide a direct quote from the links to substantiate your point? I only read where it was said that the dismissed deputy minister allegedly said Oye Litthur may have played a key role in the judgment. The nature of that so-called 'key role' was not defined, so how can any rational person jump to needless conclusions? Oye Lithur's husband was the lead lawyer for President Mahama. So her playing a key role could mean anything,huh?

Any one with a bit of common sense can see the press, as they always do, want to put a spin on something that had no foundation. and if you read the comments of even the opposition parties, they are not suggesting anything of that kind may have happened.

They are no saints, but most of the judges, especially at the higher echelons of the judiciary in Ghana are people of integrity.

9ja patroit: this topic is only fit for ghanaweb front page,abey wetin concern nairaland for inside ghana matter,they can continue to be their normal hypocritical selves in their hypocritical country(ghana) for all i care.

sharaaaaaaaap who gives a fvck what a rat like you thinks?

let Ghanaians 'wallow in their hypocritical country' while you continue to swim in your sh1thole

direct your pent-up frustration at your countrymen and women who never get tired of posting Ghana news on a supposedly nigerian site. nonsense!

Cusubaba: May Amadioha kill u bastard. Yes i know most of u bastard Yorubas in Ghana and Ivory Coast who doesn't [/b]know their fathers, villages and roots, but they would tell u my Mama say i be Nigerian. Village bastard, Google this names: Mr. Afraid Woyome, Mrs Betris Iddrisu and Mr. Eric Amoateng. Mr. Afraid Woyome [b]stoled [/b]500 million dollars from Ghana government and his [b]working free in the street of Accra. Mrs. Betris Iddrisu was former Ghana information minister and she stoled 293 million dollars from Ghana government but she is working free in the street of Accra. Mr. Eric Amoetang is a drug baron and yet he was then a member of Ghana Paliament( MP) before he was caught with drugs in USA and he is now serving 10 jailed sentence in USA. But he was well know as a drug baron in Ghana and yet was an MP before USA caughat him and jailed him. Ghana is the second most corrupt country in West Africa and the third in Africa after Kenya.

and what the hell is in this undernourished, undereducated and unemployable mudder-fugger yapping about?

Did you say Ghana is the second most corrupt in West Africa? so I take it then that nigeria is the undisputed number one, abi? the Baba of corruption - where officials are not only corrupt but corruption is official, abi? no wonder Buhari says your country is the most corrupt in the worldhttp://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/no-country-is-as-corrupt-as-nigeria-buhari-leadership.17848/

even a child born today knows that the Woyome case you mentioned is in court, which is what happens in every civilised society. BTW, woyome's company won a case against the govt and the government was compelled to pay a sum of money to him -which was $23 million, I think - and that was paid because we are a country governed by laws. However, when new facts emerged that suggested the whole deal was questionable; Woyome was arrested and is currently facing trial in Accra. So tell me, what was done in woyome's case to suggest the govt was covering up for corruption?

Do you have evidence that Mrs.Betty Mould stole $290 million? you better take it easy on that sh1t you've been smoking,huh

the issue really, is not whether officials commit crimes or not-they are also human beings, aren't they? what is important is what happens to officials when they infringe the law, that's where the difference is clearly 7up between the two countries. fuckeduppedness

we all saw how a few years ago, a governor of bayelsa sneaked in from the UK dressed like a woman after his arrest and came down to nigeria to a hero's welcome despite stealing lots of his peoples money. the same people he stole from were hailing him as a hero . Today, the same man is one of the most powerful men behind the throne in your country

BTW, your English suck big time. you need to start going to some adult education classes asap won't be surprised sha if you tell me you have a Ph.D

Bright2: This woman too worwor abeg,how can a deputy minister look this ugly even with her money? Am proud to be a Nigerian

Bright? nothing bright about your yeye post,huh? how can a deputy minister look this ugly with her money? well, [b]I have seen a whole president of a country looking much uglier[/b]and I am sure you know who I am talking about,huh? ......

he is the certified funk of fugliness

Obrafour: Charl3y I dey shock s3f!

you doing a great job, mahn. keep it up

She was a deputy minister, not a full minister as suggested in the title. or is a deputy minister same as a minister?

Emmysteve: Why is Ghana soccer website silent about this final any way?

why don't you mind you fvcking business? so exactly what are you trying to achieve with your nonsense post? what has Ghana got to do with Nigeria playing Mexico or any other country? crap

Boll2010: dis got me lafing......ghana must go.......tank God say no be our gal.....atlist a pussy is not buried more oil wells to draw
