Say no to islam and convert to a real religion. Prophet mohammed was a sick dog....... Search online for ways to move away from evil islam. You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe........ you are not alone.
Tickle yourself and grin in disbelief; have orgasms, it's therapeutic. You're just but a fun club and don't have supremacy over a sovereign state like Ghana.

There are international standard practices in removing CJs, and that is what the UK Bar Council and the Commonwealth Lawyers are demanding. A small poor country like Ghana has got no weight to resist their advice.

You call it minor, like seriously.. a whole CJ violating the laws of Ghana and you said is minor...this woman is very petty and embarrasment to the judiciary...i don't know how she became the CJ
They should face the many issues in the UK and allow us to reset our country. Ghana is not for the UK so they should shush and stay in their country.
If that is how you think, then tell John Mahama and his govt not to go to them for any help in future.If Nigeria could not fight them in the past how can Ghana win if NDC go ahead with their foolishness?
Such impudence. A bunch of UK morons parading as all knowing lawyers.
