I am very angry and upset with the white supremacist man and woman press and social media who have murdered Professor Arday. Very sad and more angry after what my brother went through in life and upbringing and challenges as an autistic child born and bred on the Clapham Common and through sheer perseverance and hardworking, I am very sad that I never met my brother because I also live in South West London. May GOD ALMIGHTY have mercy on his innocent soul and rest in God Almighty bosom. How can humanity be selfish and wicked to such a poor but good soul who has risen through misadventure and grit. I am very angry and upset with the CIA and MI5 press in our world. Cambridge University has blood on its hands. Cambridge University reputation will forever suffer. There was a white Professor at Cambridge University who had the same issue but because he is white man he is still a Professor at the Cambridge University.

I am hoping that, very soon, God will allow someone to fight racism and live longer without dying such weird or untimely deaths like JFK, Nkrumah, Lincoln, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and others. I have faith that may be, He can ordain me with some special wisdom and the divine protection to carry out the mission of reducing racism and its negative effects in society, including; atrocities and secret murder of advocates against racism with the use of invisible EMF Directed Energy Weapons by some corrupt agents of government, once God guides me to help abolish the practice of using "Political Appointments" in enslaving most Africans and poor nations. By divine authority of God who protect the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirate, Ghana and all the world, all top government officials will soon e elected by votes and no one will ever be appointed anymore.

Race, religion and politics are the 3 most dangerous roots of global problems in society. Politics control the world and it can address the major issues of race and religion, if we abolish the practice of political appointments and promote a genuinely honest democracy by electing all top government officials and not appoint anyone anymore.

One of the real problem is that most blacks do not truly care about their lives and so, some demonic racist persons can take the lives of blacks, since most blacks hate each other selfishness and so most black cannot come together for mutual protection and mutual progress with safety to live longer but rather low average life expectancy in most African nations, with Nigeria being the worst, despite their high level of IQ and street smartness

He didn't have to kill himself. Life is full if twists n turns and when you live amongst whites especially there are more downs unfortunately but nothing is permanent. When one door closes another will open. Now his oppressors are happy he didnt have to make them happy by outing himself because of the stress they out him under I know i won't i go through that but I must be resolute, discipline n keep my gaze on my focus. He probably had nothing else to fight for anymore so why not call it.....over n he killed himself RIP IN PEACE N POWER

Any man or woman coming from an ethnic background, particularly Black African who starts to EXCEL OR OUTPERFORM White or other racial colleagues may well experience problems and opposition from jealous colleagues. As a school mate once opined, to paraphrase what he said “you might as well be walking around with a bullseye target painted on your side. You can easily become a target especially if you err in some way. This is raw human nature at work. You see the same kind of behaviour at workplaces and academic institutions in Ghana where your tribe, political background or the school you attended can influence your career progression.
When you are exceptional in a predominantly white working environment it is particularly critical not to do anything to give them an excuse to pick on you. THIS MEANS THAT IN ADDITION TO DOING EVERYTHING WITH EXCELLENCE IN YOUR JOB OR VOCATION YOU WILL NEED TO ALWAYS HAVE INTEGRITY AND DO THINGS BY THE RULE BOOK. IT IS A GOOD PRINCIPLE OF LIFE TO AVOID SHORTCUTS, AVOID COMPROMISES, AVOID DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL AND YOUR WHITE COLLEAGUES WILL AT THE VERY LEAST GIVE YOU GRUDGING RESPECT AND WITH TIME COME TO VALUE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
Any person of colour who has achieved anything worthwhile or reached the top of their game while living and working abroad will tell you that their path to the top was strewn with acts of discrimination against them, slights, denigration, opposition subtle or overt and sometimes even being ostracized, yet it did not stop them from achieving remarkable results. OFTENTIMES SUCH INDIVIDUALS VASTLY OUTPERFORM WHITE COLLEAGUES BECAUSE OF THEIR GREAT COURAGE, DETERMINATION, TENACITY AND THEIR ABILITY TO OVERCOME GREAT ADVERSITY AND THEIR GREAT FAITH IN A JUST GOD AND LOVING GOD.

Although his demise is sad, there are some accounts about his life, some of which you have repeated here, that are false. Examples are the number of marathons he claimed to have been run in about 1 month. Also, his speech delay till 10 or 11 years has been contested. He claimed there worked as a volunteer in Brazil, this has been denied by the alleged host organization. There has also been numerous academic forgeries to his Prof/PHD. So though racially he may have had bad experiences from whites, some of the problems he had were, sadly occasioned by himself.

We can't keep blaming the white man for being racist. We know very well we are all the same. An ewe people will not want an akan person as their tradition leader and vice versa. We prefer each other over another tribe in Ghana, so if we as same black people living in Ghana find differences, why do we blame a white man for wanting the same? Yet still in our discourse, many of us have relocated to the same racist folks countries knowing very well what is at stake. We prefer to live in their mist rather than our own country but still complain about their behaviour. Think of what is happening in South Africa: leave if you feel you will be treated better by your folks, but we still find reason to continue living abroad. Once you've made that decision, remember no one owes you the duty to soothe your emotions. Toughen up, build your confidence and rub shoulders with them. Show that you are capable and you will get the respect. If you're challenged, you can beat your chest and stand up high because you know you're capable. When you're chosen because they're trying to make a representation for diversity, equality and inclusion, the question remains of the person's aptitude to the role and it is fair question. What hasn't helped this man is the fact that maybe, he made some claims which cannot be verified, and which may have contributed to the position he held. Now the issue of his vulnerabilities throughout life has come to light, and the question is why do you bestow such responsibilities on a such a person? Being a professor requires a lot more than just praises but rather resilience. May he rest in peace.

I couldn't have said it better. The cognitive dissonance among Africans is unbelievable. Tribalism and tribal conflicts are rife in our continent. We prefer and favour members of our tribes in many aspects of life, at the expense of other groups; from employment, housing/rent, marriage, national elections etc.
If people of the same race/ethnicity have such harmful prejudices and views towards one another, how could the same people expect any different from people of a different race/ethnicity who have little to nothing in common with them? Those who cry racism and turn a blind eye to its equivalent here at home are either hypocrites or delusional.
Finally, if anyone or thing is to blame for this man's suicide, it's himself and the institution/policy (DEI) that allowed him to swindle his way into a position that he clearly hadn't earned. From the unverifiable ggrandiose claims in his CV to the different works of others that he presented as his own(plagiarism). It's clear that he was unfit for the position and yet, the same "racist white supremacist" elevated him to that position and ignored his deception until they were forced to face the truth. Nobody hounded him out of anything, he messed up and had to go.

Jason Arday, Cambridge’s much-hyped “youngest Black professor,” was a walking advertisement for how elite universities abandoned basic standards for a compelling DEI sob story: a PhD riddled with dozens of near-identical passages lifted from someone else’s thesis, CV entries claiming visiting professorships that Ohio State and Glasgow both flatly denied, wildly exaggerated claims of running 600 miles in six days and single-handedly raising millions for charity that he later walked back, a personal narrative of being non-verbal until 11 and illiterate until 18 that conveniently turbocharged the media fairy tale while his actual scholarly output remained thin and error-strewn, and the truly deranged boast of appearing in the BBC’s Seven Up documentary series that began in 1964—two decades before he was even born in 1985. Cambridge and the academic establishment hailed him as “the best in the world” and a symbol of progress until the plagiarism, fabrications and impossibilities became impossible to ignore, at which point he resigned under investigation—proving once again that when institutions prioritise identity checkboxes over competence and honesty, they end up with exactly the charlatan they deserve.

Blackman at every failure blames racism. Of course there’s racism live and in color. And it will be there in many colors and flavors. And that’s nature’s holy plan. But Jason Arday dug his own deserving grave. Take your time to read and re-read his history and story and they are not sincere and authentic at any speed.He’s a fraudster and when caught conveniently blamed racism and befittingly committed suicide. No sympathy for ANANSE.There are lot of such imposters and impersonators in our academia. Fake PHD HOLDERS abound. MENSAH Otabil conferred on himself PHD for the crap he dishes out. OBINIM went a little bit further and higher and bestowed ANGEL title on himself.I know few of them who acquired their certificates from Amazon Forest . Good riddance to Jason Arday. To shed a tear will be the crocodile kind.

The guy is soft he shouldn’t have taken his life.If plagiarism is a big deal then Akufo Addo & co. may also have killed themselves.
It’s bad but it’s a lesson to the living
