This is clearly unacceptable on the part of the president, his spokesperson and communications director, why should they feel insecure that the good people of Ghana gave Nana Akufo-Addo a rousing welcome-back-home reception at the airport on?
Mills and his cronies does not have shame, even during the general elections, they accused NPP activists and sympathizers of being offered money to follow the Nana Addo and the NPP around like a ‘dog and its master’ and yet even in defeat we still follow him, I would be glad to know what they are thinking now whether they think we are still being offered money to follow Nana Addo even in defeat.
Of course this madness has gone on for far too long, and what is wrong if the Minority Members in Parliament thought, that the president has deceived Ghanaians with 'father for all message'? Mills feeling hot already? If Mills is already feeling the heat barely 50 days in office as president of Ghana, then indeed he is in for a good show and he again has the Rawlings ‘unnecessary raving and ranting’ factor to deal with. Mills does not need to talk like a president for us to believe he is his own man; he is nothing but a ‘remote control’ in the hands of Rawlings. Rawlings backs and he Atta acts.
Mills’ barking that “There is no other government in this country. There is no other president in this country… where you have people arrogate to themselves certain rights. Where people threaten that they are going to advise themselves and take the law into their own hands, I Atta Mills will not allow this to happen. “I respect civility and politeness and I believe that people have taken my respect for peaceful co-existence as weakness, timidity and inability to act,” was obviously unacceptable, very unnecessary, and a voice of a nervous and an incompetent man behaving like a baby who has just been refused break milk, consequently resorting to shredding tears to attract some attention and favour.
The UD$ is busily trashing the GH¢ mercilessly as inflation has moved to a whooping 20.3%, but what can Atta Mills and his cronies do, confiscate KVIP’s? They should be thinking of finding ways to deal with this unfortunate trend than talking unnecessarily. I thought KSM is the most guy in Ghana but President Mills is gradually pilfering that title. From Axim to Zebilla, NPP activists and sympathizers are being attacked and beaten till this very day just because they are not NDC, I had an encounter during the run off elections as NPP Polling Agent, after voting and ballot papers being counted, those NDC thugs nearly attacked me and my colleague just because a stupid voter voted for Atta Mills alright but used the index finger which was dipped into the ink to vote for Nana Addo, which automatically becomes an invalid or rejected as the rules for the game spelt out boldly but those rogues as NDC Polling Agents believes in another thing all together as if they were from Mars but I obeyed the rules and didn’t allow them to go away with it, since I believe every single ballot paper was equally important and that place nearly turned into a boxing ring had it not been for the timely intervention of the security men.
If Mills is uneasy because of a mere rousing welcome, then he should get ready to pee in his pants all the way to 2012.
We relinquished power to these thieves and they think they can bluff us but can somebody please tell Atta, that 4 years is not forever.

I STAND TO BE CORRECTED
I wish to be given a space to comment on the above named article, which appeared in the showbiz. Honestly, it was really boring reading the above name article but then I had to read it because people also read what I write over here and after reading it I was obliged to believe that the writer has spent greater part of last year outside the country, preferably in Nigeria [stand to be corrected though]. Because the issue of Ghanaian actors being rigid, their movies lacks flexibility, diversity is just to an extent and their movies can be predicted from scene one to the last scene is just a thing of the past and moreover it’s a fallacy after all there has been obvious and tremendous changes now.
The assumption that Ghanaian movies can be predicted of how event would turn out in the final part of the story is a wrong and a silly assumption because its not only Ghanaian movies that can be predicted, generally this prediction comes up when one is watching African movie as a whole because most times they all seems to have monotonous story line, same location, same customs and etcetera and the worst of this prediction is on Nigerian movies, they see Ghana as the flooding market so they will use the same story for about 30 movies and my compatriot patronize it at the expense of theirs, is this not foolishness on the part of Ghanaians? Am not a fan of Nigerian movies but I have facts to buttress this point and would be able to predict the outcome of 25 out of 30 Nigerian movies and those of you who patronize these same and boring Nigerian movies would concur with me that there is no single Nigerian movie without you see two people, men or women either on the farm, or on the stream or from the stream, or one doing the other one’s hair gossiping about people and I wonder if Nigerians are naturally gossips huh.
Those of us who patronize the foreign movies want to see something different not the usual killing, poisoning, witchcraft, wrecking of married, oh and this African stuff because so far as am concern watching Ghanaian movie is the same as watching Nigerian movie, so what’s the deal now, is it not the same juju, witchcraft, hatred and those African mentality. Simply put Nigerian movies are and cannot be better than Ghanaian movies and the only different thing about Nigerian moves as compared the Ghanaian counterpart is that its only in former film that you see an actress in a kitchen cooking but have dressed like she have a date with the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, president Olusegu Obasanjo or his vice Atiku Abubakar [sorry] Its bad, preposterous and uncalled for, for the writer to suggest Harry Laud and Bob Smith Jnr should invest their monies somewhere, I personally think they merit some apology, because no one has any right to choose where someone should invest, its strictly their business.
This Agya Koo movies are too much but hey it’s cool because at least it has halted the Nigerian invasion and its making sure we see less of the same story movies from Nigeria and people should leave Agya Koo to enjoy his reign now, is it his fault that producers are using him like that? Those complaining of the Agya Koo era were the same people who loved those Aki and Popor movies year back which weren’t even better than Agya Koo’s own and moreover Agya Koo will be better of them and most of the Nigerian comedian/actors like, the Mr. Ibus, Osuofias, Sam Loco Efes, Victor Osuagyes and the likes if he is able to say all those Twi stuff in the queens language and am sure he will be compared to the likes of Eddie Murphys, Rowan Atkinsons popularly known on our screens as Mr. Bean and etcetera. As an up and coming player in the industry I think the problems are
Wrong Casting: it’s done in how connected you are not how well you can act
Favouritism: people are favoured because they know or have close relationship with the producer or the director or someone close to these people… “Whom you know” seems to do the trick now, on the part of the producers, bad language, their popular saying goes like “there is no script so adlib” altitude are some of the problems with the industry now and people are ripping off money at auditions. I hope the president of the Ghana Actor’s Guide is not taking a nap yet.
