Ghana shows Nigeria how it should be done.

John Evans Atta Mills (Late)

Less than 10 hours after the death of their beloved President John Evans Atta Mills, the People of Ghana have today sworn in the Vice President John Dramani Mahama as their new President.

President John Dramani Mahama

A few years ago Nigeria did go through an identical unfortunate situation but like all other things Nigerian, it had to have a special twist to it. After the Death of the late Nigerian President Musa Yar'adua, in some weird   development it began to seem his wife Turai thought she was to be made President in place of her husband. On the other hand world renowned petty thief and money launderer James Ibori seemed to think that as the most corrupt ex-Governor he was supposed to be rewarded with some kind important king making position. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo being the main cause of the problem flew up and down the country in his flowing robes like a ghost offering peace and war in his usual devious way. To make matters worse the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan thought he had to take permission from the Late Presidents wife in other to be made President. So the country remained in a very dangerous state of affairs all the while it slowly crept towards the edge of an abyss. While all these runnings around in circles went on,  looters were running wild up and down the country with sacks raiding and trading.

Ghana has shown a very high level of Democratic maturity and continues to exhibit a sense of focus and the willingness to push forward.

My heart goes out to the Late Presidents family. Congratulations to his Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama.
