I always love to hear His excellency the former president of Ghana speaks on geopolitical issues. I have so much respect for him.
What sense is he making? ' He's no brainer'
@@richardt1770 😂, your comment seeking to say someone isn't making sense doesn't make sense.
President Mahama studied communication and history so he is good at talking but when it comes to economic issues he is useless.
@@richardt1770 Is he not sensible that your father and your entire generation and generations to come?
,.
True and Mature Leader..God Bless You Sir.
😂😂😂
They talk so well when they're in opposition but when giving power it's completely different.
Absolute power-corrupts! Ghanaian-democracy is matured enough to move to a parliamentary system. In a presidential system, the legislature has no hold over the executive and the president, the head of the government can easily turn-authoritarian or become detached from the plight of the people. It entrusts to much power in the hands of one man.
He skillfully avoided to side with or go against the decision of the current Ghana 🇬🇭 government's decision on Russia 🇷🇺. - That's some diplomatic dexterity!
Remember who owns this CZcams channel. They do not serve our interests. Instead they wish to sow discord. Destabilize our nation. Stay WOKE!
Nice you noticed its
Yes i am happy he didnt answer that
That's smart
Thus y I like him. If it was this government they would have paint him black
Mahama my love and respect for you is deep 💯🙌
Eloquence par excellence.
Proud oh Mahama. Deep understanding of the economy. Very impressive.
Yes, Ghana's constitution needs to be looked at
JDM is next to Nkrumah.
Truly statesman!
If Nana should be asked just 5% of these questions I wunder how he would sound like. Mahama is a gem.
Since when did sound become the most important factor in determining leadership qualities? Thats third world politics for you. Infact Nana is more eloquent than Mahama, leadership should be about ideas, humility, respect for fellow citizens, integrity, service etc.
@@a.alphbond9003 lol and u think nana has all those qualities? 😅😅😅😅😅 funny
@@eventfiretv2841 Read my comment again, I said he was more eloquent than Mahama. Talking about Nana's leadership qualities is crying over spilt milk. He's already in his second term and ineligible to stand for president again. Being eloquent should not be the only criteria in judging the qualities of a good leader. I don't support any party, I'm only interested in the better candidate.
@@eventfiretv2841 Party fanatics/single issue supporters are the biggest danger to any democracy. They are the reason why corrupt authoritarian leaders exist.
@@a.alphbond9003 eloquence is different from being knowledgeable. Mahama is more KNOWLEDGEABLE AND THAT'S A FACT.
The Ghanaian English is well understood
thats what your ear can hear
Ghanaian English is the best in Africa no doubts
The Gambians have the best English in Africa say what you know 😊
The president did not go to school and all but the people speak good English. The Gambia teacher are all from Ghana they come to Gambia for work some are a teacher in the schools like high secondary schools and even the university of Gambia ❤ so the same people and the same English speaking if you can understand Ghana English language you can understand the Gambia.
Great delivery Mr Mahama.
This time all Ghanaian are ready to do all their best to help improve our country again.
We wish our leaders will listen to the people for the benefit of the people not themselves.
Thanks for ur honesty
We share a common feeling, it’s our country and no one will build it well than us. The kind of Ghana leave for our children is important
Please VOA help us to interview Nigerian President as you do to Ghanaians. Thanks so much.
Thanks Mr JM 👍 The President of Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏
Great I am Atty J Francis Kaydor one of African Youth parliamentarian from liberia West Africa

When à wise man speak it carries undastanding and vision mahama you are a gift to ghananien but the unwise cannot see it 👍👍👏👏👏👏
I REALLY LOVE MY FORMER PRESIDENT
Our wisdom, brilliant, former 👏 incoming 👏 👌 🙌 glorious president fingers crossed 🤞
God Bless your Mr President. Listening to you reignites our hope ))
I love him
Great leader!
Great submission. I love your humility
Yes das wisdom man John dramani mahama
Great interview!
Keep up the good work!
Full of wisdom and care about this nation, we love you this current situation of our economy is really bad. Everyone crying 😢 we want you back JM ❤️
A true statement brilliant submission!
Brilliant interview, both the interviewer and interviewee.
What an excellent speech from the former president. May the lord be with you, sir.
Mahama is a good communicator, the problem with governance in Africa is accountability. The appointees must be on their toes, the bane of leadership in Ghana is `corruption’.
Very Precise submission
On point
My favourite man.. So calm and decent
And corrupt!
This man is having heart of King Solomon the feeling for human being.
Did I hear him say strengthen what & which institutions? The interviewer should have asked him how many institutions he strengthen when he was in office? They always make fool of us, amass wealth, give juicy and hiding contracts to their family and friends and when out of power they go to them for kick backs. Fellow Ghanaians please I beg u think small and don't be carried away with these empty headed leaders all what they know is to speak eloquently at global forums. Are we going to eat eloquence? I'm sorry but foolish leaders!!
Only his voice mnnn Thank you sir
I love JDM I'm very proud to see him as my former president represents ghana internationally but i don't want him back because he has done his best God bless him for that. Let other peoples also come and demonstrate their skills.
Great leader
Visionner man and determinat to change life or his people selfish less humble man. 👍💗💗😍😍😍
A good statesman.
God bless JM.
Great submission Mr. President... God bless u.
They always say that we will amend the constitution on opposition but do nothing about it when we give them our votes all because those clauses in the constitution favors them.. RESPECT THE VOTER. 🙏
💯👍❤
At least Mr Mahama started the process,but when he left the new government abandoned it
It was during the NDC regime in 2012 that the constitution was reviewed... So check your records...
We want leaders who will walk their talk and not the other way round ❤❤
Wasn't he a president before?
they still don’t wanna learn knowledge that’s why we keep on suffering from this society and systematic puppets smh
Oh yeah 😎
His humility alone awwwww
Ghanaian we need to look out for a man who walk with he's talk .
Very smart responses
I’ve been educated very well.
John Dramani Mahama is the best president any country can have and for me I call Him the president of all Africa. He's visionary and the best president under the fourth republic of Ghana. He was president for 3years 4 months yet he over performed the 8 years of kuffour and akuffo addo-Bawumia government combine. He also out performed Nkrumah in the sectors of education, health and energy.
God blessed you my president.
The first thing you do right by the people is to stop importations and enhance the production sector. It would be unpopular but it is the only way. And stump out corruption
i agree with you 100%
Was searching for this before I comment
You are very right, sir
Maybe this is the only wise statement here. Most people don't understand how things work, smh
True wisdom is not in eloquence of speech but in demonstration, show working.
Yes my president
What a man
Very proud of him.
I am surprise how Ghanaians cannot see the potential in this man. He has got the knowledge and the skills to help Ghana from this economic - trauma we are facing. God bless you J.D. 2024 Election IS ALL YOURS.
where were those potentials years back?
Brilliant.
Solid submission
We love u more daddy 🔥♥️🤞
Very clear talk
One of the international intelligent sons of Africa...
A selfless leader...simple...open-minded
One thing each Ghanaian know right now is that. We are ruled by a president who is fast and quick to talk about credits that is being given to him but not quick to speak about the dead dying economy.
The best president of Ghana🤜🤜
How can Ghanaians loses such a man full of wisdom like this
Masa masa they are all the same full of wisdom when he comes to power the same people praising him will deny him
Eeh! Can Akuffo Addo even understand this interviewer's question? Let alone to explain in detail and convincly like Mahama is eloquently doung?
Why did Ghanaians shoot themselves in the foot that hard by allowing the current government to steal the elections.
Ghana taking aback 30 years. It will be difficult to recover, but people like Mahama can bounce it back.
I wonder Sis, and now they are crying like babies.. Hopefully He is re-elected come 2024.
@@PalamoduxOctavex God forbid
Tribalism!
Yes I really like JM
It's saje talks: strengthen what institutions n to fight what curruption. We can only see mistakes when we are in opposition.
Man with work of vision John Mahama
I decided not to vote, but the constitution amendments alone is going to make me vote for him.
He won’t do it. We have heard that from both parties, they’re all the same
@Raymond Adusei, sorry to tell you but you are very naive, no wonder NDC and NPP are having a filed day, because majority of the population have the same brains like you are. Just to remind you, do you remember this man said Ghanaians have short memories?, you have prove him right. Do you know that the constitution review was started by Mills and a whole bunch of recommendations were made?, what was he doing during his time as President?, this man has a sinister motive, trust me. A power drunk like Trump, he will change the constitution term limits which will allow him to remain in power for as long as he wants. I don’t trust him a bit.
@@samuelkorleykorley700 yep all talks just to win power
Gyimie
go and vote for him, you don't reason up, when he comes to brag, then you fall into the lies, later you come out to shout and cry
God bless you president 💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯
Impressive submission!
My president ❤❤❤
God bless u John Dramani Mahama
When such words are heard from the Formal President,hopes are gathered again waiting for the thump to decide ❤️
well done Jm
Excellent interview Mr President! We are counting on you…
Well he answered the international diplomatic question very well. I'm still lost in what actual ways he will change the current situation in Ghana. Made alot of summarizing points on problems at hand but no actual solutions to battle those points he mentioned. It's like borrowing money from the loan sharks still coming back for more saying it will get better depending on the amount you take this time.
I share your sentiments my brother
That is it!
Very very sad
Let's leave the mess for them to clear for another 6 years
Akuffo thought presidenc was an easy thing with just brofo
He realised now that is not a family league game
And maybe use it with wisdom and transparency. Hmm observers are worried!!!
God bless this humble man 🙏🙏👍
AAAMEEN
If you don't need such a man as your leader, who else will you need?
Give him one more chance Ghana ppl.
How much do I have in my digital account? I am ready for the development of Africa.
We love u jm❤
This intimate sweet
Freedom fighters together we stand we can make a difference ✨️ 🙏 💪 🙌
The best president ever in Ghana .
Hahahah even mahama will laugh at you😁
Who?
He JDM apart from Kramer Nkrumah he is .unless you are blind
@@nadomara4942 are u even a Ghanaian what is kramer or u mean Kwame...the military dictator Acheampong has more achievement than ur idol mahama if not that mills tragically died who is Mahama...
and again under mahama there was no global economic recession as we have now most governments if not all are unpopular.He's the only one term president in the 4th republic that speaks volumes wake up.
@@amaningofosu9034 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ur head die ruff... stop displaying ur ignorance in public
Président Mahama a peaceful man in Ghana.
Nince intervew.
this man is well humble
😅😅😅😅😅
Keep lying to yourself
@@derickfrempong9029 I shock sef 😆
It's like they think we don't remember how his presidency was like
@@derickfrempong9029 yes oo bro adey shock cuz i still remember everything how i lost most of my customers and went broke and i was always borrowing from fraudboys who were my friends due to dumsor
JM you are a great man we love you,please be careful,Kwaku Ayidoho is JEALOUS of you but the Almighty is is always fighting for you
Lol, I disagree though
God doesn't fight for thieves and liars.
@@slysterdurbar4871 yes God doesn't fight for theives and liars. That is why Ghana is suffering under Nana Addo. God is not fighting for him
@@absonlineschool9397 Nana addo and mahama their is no basis for comparison. Mahama was the only vice president, whose own boss atta mills set up a committee to investigate him,thus atta mills untimely death.
@@absonlineschool9397 every country is struggling under this current world economic recession
The constitution part I love this man for saying that🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wise man.
JM is actually on top of international and domestic issues affecting Ghana. Best material for the job comes 2024
This man is the best president for Ghana
Plenty English spoken
What we need is to eliminate corruption
That’s the solution
ELIMINATE CORRUPTION ELIMINATE CORRUPTION
That’s all we need
Yes ooo,let’s tell nana addo n the akyem mafias
Why did Ghanaians reject this sensible man for the most incompetence man ever in ghana's history
Atta Mills ,VOA , mahama VOA
Well said JM….but make sure you do all that you have said especially the review of the constitution when we the people of Ghana give you our vote. #respectthevoter#
Smart guy
I love you 😘😘😘
❤
Mahama let’s win this 2024 to make the economy stable 🙏💯
Ghana doesn’t need IMF money. Where’s the money we’re sitting on. What happened to Ghana without aid. The money and assets that these politicians thieves has accumulated and outsourced should be confiscated. Who’s holding who accountable. But anyway it’s nice listening to the ex president.
