He was a typical akyem man, arrogant, smug, ugly, and with no love for Ghana or Ghanaians! He was my Economics lecturer in Legon!

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine...........for instance 15 paracetamol at once......or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide..
The end of an era of the criminal dynasty. Nothing special about Jones Ofori Atta. Tertiary education was very limited at the time so any half baked pseudo intellectual would pass for an economic guru. Thankfully Ken, the Pic ...

And he failed to teach his son against greediness and theft. Add that.
He was a hopeless Economics lecturer who couldn't even teach his own son Ken Ofori Atta to pass his GCE A-Level Economics exam!
After all the appor his father gave him, Ken failed this exam miserably with an "F'.

WE GREET YOU, DOCTOR FATHER OF OUR BIGGEST NATIONAL THIEF.
We the people of Fankyeneko, Dwenase, Abompe, Gyampomani, Dome and Osino will forever be grateful to Dr Jones Ofori Atta.
It was through him that we got a tarred road linking Bososu-Begoro road.
Carefully read this article and you will understand their evil document called AGYAPADIE
Yes those time, those who can(they call it form four or standard 7) write and read very well were employed and even some worked at Banks. In service training was very important. With some efforts some travelled on scholarship ...

Ken Ofori Atta is after all Ayigbe. Yes ooo Ayigbe Akyem halfcaste.
Yet your father couldn't become one!
His father didn't also give ghana a child that would wreck harvock on its citizens by stealing5ueir resources.
PAPA WHY DIDN'T YOU CONVINCED YOUR WIFE TO ABORT OFORI? A USELESS SON OF A CRIMINAL
Stupid fool, we are sick and tired of your advice to Ghanaian youth. Go and give your generation 20 red red tablets. Senseless man

Ungrateful student. You were lucky to have him as your lecturer. Read the family tree carefully and compare it to that of yours. No family tree comes near the OFORI-ATTAH dynasty. You can call it Akyem mafia.
It has all been stealing. But for president Kufuor's negligence, Ofori Atta should been in jail for the Obotan fraud against SSNIT. AKRONFUO ASEFUO
Responding to your ignorant comment is like casting my pearls before a swine!
Sir Offori Attah sucked up to the British and got his children the privileges to study in the UK long before independence. His descendants used Ghana's resources to educate their children. They hate all that Nkrumah did and d ...

Then you didn't know the person you trusted. He has always been a criminal. The SSNIT Obotan deal.
The father of a thief. A crab does not produce a bird in labour. Look at his head like a pumpkin. Akoronfoɔ bloodline.
Hahaha, you are wicked, bro! His head like a pumpkin paa?? Lol.
He never married the Ewe woman who gave birth to to Ken Ofori Atta! Jones Ofori Atta was a typical chew and pour African scholar who did not add any value to our society or the fortunes of our people!
No wonder
So Ken Oflori Atta is half ewe and half akyem? No wonder.
More clarity needed. Was Jones Ofori Atta the deputy minister of finance or the substantive minister of finance in the Busia regime? If he was a deputy, who then was the minister of finance in the Busia regime? Because histor ...

Born 1937 and died 2020, means he was 83 years old and not 86 years oooo.

The father was distinguished i my view but the son is was brutally corrupt and not patriotic
Very ugly like the son. Ugly and criminal looking face. Chaii no wonder evil run in their family
Thieves.
Nation wreckers !! Jealous and hateful people who resented Nkrumah but had no plan to fix the country nor chart a path that will propel us to develop .
Wicked bunch
They are all thieves
Jealousy, and tribal evenness will kill some tribes in Ghana ooo. Those who have ordained can't never be destroyed or matched.
I am a Bosome, Abuakwa is my brother but truth be told, Ofori Atta has proven beyond doubts he has a lot of rot under his sleeves. He is a disgrace to us Akyems.
So what. Who cares. Ask his son to come and answer for his crimes.

Confusing write up. Ofori Atta Ofori Atta. You need say Jones or Ken sometimes to be clearer.
No wonder. He was raised a crook. See the father's chain even as an old man
What legacy? He was a failure like his son. A corrupt bastard ho should have been hanged by JJ
I was expecting to read more of his actual work, policies, and contributions mentioned in here. Huh
Nice and distinguished man but unfortunately he's got a wayward son!! Isn't it typical? We're all human after all!!
Thier lineage only did harm to Nkrumah and mother Ghana and any serious people must stop showing their faces on media
Why all this hatred towards Ken? Please explain. Facts only.
Who loves a Rapist? Perhaps only Okponglo guys! ken ofori-attah is a mirror image of the npp. Being the most corrupt, criminal, killer and disgraceful entity on planet earth.
