For some reason, I have even forgotten about Wikileaks and their release of US classified reports. In our forgotten minds, Wikileaks has hit Ghana with reports they released on 30th August, 2011 which are; US Embassy cable that says former President Jerry John Rawlings uses drugs and his finance minister at that time was alarmingly incompetent. And another report by former United States Abbassador to Ghana, Pamela Bridgewater, on the profile of NPP presidential aspirants ahead of the 2008 elections.
On J. J. Rawlings, the cable which was created on July 31, 1997 states “Ambassador Princen’s wife concluded emphatically that Rawlings is a drug-user. Periods of high-level energizing were followed by Rawlings’disappearance for thirty minutes, and upon his return he was subdued and even mellow. He perspired profusely at short notice, and consumed large quantities of non-alcoholic drinks. Princen reinforced my own impression that Rawlings’ attention span has shortened of late. But the Princens found the President open, indulgent towards his children, and extremely deferential – even obsequious – towards his spouse.”
On Nana Akuffo Addo Dankwah, the cable says “Nana Akufo-Addo: An ethnic Akyem from the Eastern Region, Akufo-Addo is a formidable contender for the NPP slot. He is respected for his intelligence, political family background, and broad government experience, which includes tenures as Minister of Justice and Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is reportedly backed by NPP youth and Akyem businessmen. On the other hand, he has poor organizational skills and often comes across as arrogant and formal, which may not play well with many party activists and Ghanaian voters. His reputation as a womanizer and occasional marijuana smoker may also damage him politically”.
Are these true? These are the sort of info US holds on our leaders and BIG MEN ooo! I wonder the classified information US holds on Confidence Haugen, Jackie Appiah, Nadia Buari and others that Wikileaks may release soon..LOL
FROM NPP TO NDC, THERE ALL DICKHEADS. ALL THE NDC SUPPORTERS THINK NPP DOES NOTHING RIGHT AND ALL THE NPP SUPPORTERS THINK NDC DOES NOTHING RIGHT. ITS LIKE THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. NOTHING PRODUCTIVE HAPPENS. ALL THESE LOANS AND MONIES GHANA HAS RECEIVED, I BET GHANA WILL STILL LOOK LIKE A 3rd WORLD COUNTRY. EVEN ACCRA DOESN’T SET GOOD ENOUGH STANDARDS AS LOOKING AS A CAPITAL. WHOEVER BECOMES PRESIDENT ALWAYS FINISHES HIS TERM RICHER THAN EVER. ITS A DAMN SHAME
@YOBI,why are you pointing finger on NDC !
am not sure you are a ghanain .
and remember ghanins are not DOGs who will bite themselves like what you people are doing in your country !
Ghana is peace loving country .

@YOBI,well said!…truth hurts doesnt it?….Ghanainas like to hide behind the disguise of “we are a peaceful country” so to allow bull to happen.Its not a bt starting a war,but we need to demand more from our leaders.All politicians are curropt…but ours are “demonically” greedy.
JJ is always high you can see that by the way he talk and his eyes are always red…. !!!!
@Akosua, True!
it was far away from home, now it’s home….the question is, wht other information are dey gonna release?????????/we live to see………..
This is a total bs, Americans are snakes. They only cause division among people. I don’t believe in this bs wikkileaks. I support my leaders, i dont need Americans to tell me who i should i support. Wikkileaks is a total bullshit….
who is/are wikileaks? are they part of the FBI?
@madam social, Julian Assange is the founder and public face of WikiLeaks he created a website that posts secret documents and information in the public domain back in 2006 you can call him the the Robin Hood of hacking so yeah he is not part of the FBI
@janet, ooh wow neva heard of him/her. thanks though
As far as Nana addo smoking the kush, its a bunch of nonsense, hes still better than the tortoise Atta mills.
@inchristalone, Oh that was too harsh.She only said he(Prof Atta) was “slow”
@inchristalone, Now Chris u need to delete this comment else i will fire back, see these are the low life jerks on this blog that gets on my nerves, u cant make ur opinion without someone like this fool insulting back.

@gucci, wo dei me ni woho time koraa…
@gucci, why don’t u contest the next elections?????????
@miss dior, yesoooo my sister for me i will prefere to have a president who smokes weed and have the prices of cements,foodstuffs,petroleum products,and toll fees reduced than to have one who calls himself a man of peace and promises better Ghana yet our people suffer.The rich continues to get richer while the poor still remains poor,teachers are crying,doctors complaining of lack of medical facilities,students going on strike and soo many more.if it will take a weed smoking president to make the life of the ordinally Ghanaian on the street
better,then weed must be planted in the castle for him afterall a developed country like the Netherlands, weed is allowed you can enter any coffie shop and buy it.
@jessy, it’s gud you said a developed country like the Netherlands.this is Ghana and weed is still illegal.i don’t have any problem with wht has been published but lets not turn every single topic into an NDC-NPP battle. this country is way bigger than these two parties.
@Opanin,for da first tym i’v hed u talk sense,it’s not a compliment doe ba kudos i totali agree wid u. lol
@kissmaker, bless up………….
This is no big deal if Nana smokes marijuana n JJ uses drugs. Are many leaders not doing the same even their American- presidents? I beg..
