Actress Lydia Forson has, as is characteristic of her, written an article to question why it appears the same people who “vehemently criticized” the erstwhile National Democratic Congress government are suddenly silent with a new government, New Patriotic Party in power.
Uncharacteristic of her, however, she made the article short.
She wondered why people, who only two years ago were willing to hold long debates on issues and march on the streets and to the airwaves are today finding comfort in silence and giving excuses when issues need their inputs.
The actress, known for her adroit writing skills and free-mindedness has in the past written similar articles and generated discussions among her thousands of followers on social media and their circles.
According to her, “those people” now pretend to disagree with government on the issues- only briefly- and then find “over-intellectualized answers coated with condescension” to those they think are not smart enough to get it.
It is unclear what specifically might have prompted the award-winning actress to write her piece.
“If we can’t criticize this government as vehemently as we did the NDC then there’s a big problem. But this is what happens to a people that are more loyal to their party than the country.” She wrote.
She signed off as member of an unregistered or perhaps yet to be founded Permanent Opposition Party (POP).

"She wondered why people, who only two years ago were willing to hold long debates on issues and march on the streets and to the airwaves are today finding comfort in silence and giving excuses when issues need their inputs." PATIENCE. 2 years ago the NDC had been in power for 7 years and the corruption and system failures were paramount. The NPP is only 1 year old. Common sense demands that the NPP be given ample time to organize itself before putting them on the scale.
Are they not different parties with different personalities, etc ? How difficult is that to figure out. If you want to be joined in a pointless criticism it won't happen. Sensible people will criticise for the right reasons.
Koliko, you are just a fo*l, it will interest you to know the website you used to comment is for an Akan,so get out of here and go to an ewe website to spew your h*te more there for peacefm is for am Akan, woy3 ***barred word*** paa! If you could win elections by your number ndc wouldn't be humiliated like this, whatever and however Nana is ruling g this country it is at the satisfaction of the majority of the people and that is how we want our counyry to be ruled so Koliko and his people if you don't see the good things it's necause there are no good things from where you come from ,***barred word***! Tribalism has blinded you, but Tofiakwa never again!
Lydia! Keep it up. I am not a fan of movies so permit me to say I don't know you. One thing I can can deduce is that all there's more accuracy and linguistic eloquence in your write up than the write ups of all those who have decided to chastise you. You spoke as a Ghanaian but some Ghanaians value their party ID card than their passports so do not get perturbed by their utterances. Hey but come to think of it! Do I need eight years to criticize a government under whose watch a pressure group can move into a courtroom and vandalise it during court proceedings? So I should wait for eight years before I can criticize a government under whose watch criminals can break into a police cell and release their colleague while killing a police officer in the process? Really? Well, it is our Ghana: 1) Ghana's money should be retrieved from Woyomy 2) if found guilty Opuni should be jailed 3) SADA should be investigated 4) Court vandals should be jailed 5) contaminated oil sellers should be punished for selling the oil to a company that was registered after the contract was awarded 6) Bus branding should be taken up 7) army worm saga should be taken up, etc Lydia, once again keep it up for many are those who pray to God but hypocritically count on humans. Such people are confused and will try to drag you along with unimaginable confused thoughts. Shalom.
It's because all those who made those noises are all akans and and we now have an akan government. But God is not an akan so he'll definitely punish and expose them.
Keep your mouth shut! I guess you have lost it;This will not help you. You are not intelligent than some of us ool!!
Lydia, Two years ago was the 8th year of NDC in power hence Ghanaians needed accountability. You have No Wisdom so you expect a year and 2 Months Government to criticise just as 8 years in power. People like you, Afia Schwarzenegger and the likes are just Educated Illiterates. You don't make any Wisdom and your Trade Mark is insulting Men of God. Miss "FATO" I think you would be better of diverting attention to taking care of your CHUBBY looks.
***barred word***, WE JUST GOT UP FOR NO REASON AND START CRITICING.GIVE US A BREAK PLS
Ur John Mahama and the ndc failed Ghanaians 100%, no wonder u couldn’t come out to join the dumsor Virgil organized by ur colleagues. Solving just dumsor is enough for us not to criticize this government! What Good ever came from ur party! Only create loot and share., manage ur share well cos ur party will rot in opposition.!
