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).

Because the govt is doing the right thing, simple should they start messing up we will talk. I hope you are not falling for the numerous propaganda from NDC and how they have decided to make Ghana ungovernable.
Because this Goverment is that d.a.m.n Good. Can't you see it for yoursel Lydia?
You are not hearing the criticisms you expect to hear ,maybe because Ghanaians have more brains than you credit them with.For instance Ghanaians know that it takes only a few hours to wreck a building but years to build it .Ghanaians know the real enemies of the state,They know the people who genuinely want to build this country.They know the ones who see public office as an opportunity to ravish the national treasury.Now puta go ahead and criticise. It is not against the law.
Your reasons? I am not sure.
COMMENTATORS IN GHANA ALWAYS LIVING IN THE ***barred word***'S PARADISE. THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT IS ABOUT SENDING THE COUNTRY INTO CAPTIVITY. GHANA NEEDS A REVOLUTION
Lydia, point well made. Thank you.
WE DONT JUST CRITICIZE FOR THE SAKE OF IT. YOU MUST HAVE GROUNDS AND EVIDENCE PLEASE. YOUR PARTY WAS FULL OF ***barred word*** AND CORRUPT BOYS AND GIRLS.
Which of the issues do you want to argue on? Which of the issues do you want criticise? I am not sure I have watched your movie before so don't get what makes you a celebrity. If you know the truth and you have been told the truth, you will not be helping yourself to debate it. It will only make you look dumb up there. NDC did not tell Ghana pipo the truth on many issues eg, Dumsor. Their young guys were very irritating.
Why can’t you and who? The “ we” refers to who ?
Lydia, the same conversations are taking place except this time truth is being defined by what it means; Truth. Secondly, I'm sure your enlightened self will agree with me that entering into a bilateral agreement of this magnitude requires parliamentary debate, ratification or rejection. Lastly, before anyone take you serious as a viable option to governance, criticism must be seen as constructive and a true alternative to the status quo. I'm sorry your NDC hasn't proven to be worthy.
