When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them.

If you check it out you will be amazed. In this case ignorance is not a crime and you can still find out, my brother! Is today's 'African caution' = 'African cowardice'? If it is, then we are betraying our fore=-fathers/mothers. Even the US was present in Caracas, yet we know the difficult exchanges between the two.

Charvez did not kill nine generals before he became a leader,so Rawlings should not go and add black paint to his (Charvez) legacy.

You are not a very bright person at all. The last time somebody said Ghana is becoming a banana republic, you retorted that Ghana does not export banana so we cannot be a banana Republic.

What prevents him not to be prosecuted as those Generals in Argentina? Didn't commit he commit the same crimes and murders as they did? It is hight time the Ghana Bar Association brings charges against him and strip him of his indemnity clause from prosecutions and bring him to the courts for prosecution. He bas been free on the streets of Ghana far too long.

Chavez never put his political opponents behind bars and stood for the interest of the poor and ensured that Venezuela's oil was controlled by Venezuelans and not by the insensitive capitalist world.The West will tell lies about him because he did not allow them to control him.When he died millions of venezuelans mourned him and that alone attests to the good work he did for the majority poor.

Hardships could give way to military action – Nkrumah

Sekou Nkrumah Hands

Dr Sekou Nkrumah says government’s approach to addressing the country’s economic challenges could invite a military takeover.

Speaking on Okay FM in Accra he said that indecisiveness on the part of the presidency coupled with the erratic supply of power and water is an indication that the country is in an absolute mess.

It is glaring that the actions of government are compounding the already terrible situation rather than addressing it, Dr Sekou Nkrumah is reported to have said.

The third son of Ghana’s first president cautioned that the prevailing circumstances could lead to serious disturbances, akin to what transpired in Egypt and Tunisia a few years ago.

Shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and the unreliable supply of power and water, he noted, were the legacies of late President Atta Mills.

Against that backdrop, he advised President John Mahama to desist from acts that could leave the military with no other option than to intervene.

President Mahama can only avert a military action if he humbly announces his resignation, Dr Sekou insisted.

Dr. Sekou Nkrumah announced his resignation from the NDC in last year citing bad economic policies.

He publicly endorsed Nana Akufo-Addo of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

You do not deserve to be call a fool. You brain is dead so you can be excused. If JAK did some thing wrong that means JJ can also do it that is your thinking. I am sorry for you. You may like JJ but the man is just a killer, bully, an opportunist and has very little brains. Pray for him to grow up to be a statesman like Mandela or even JAK.

You liars are always trying to lie for your opportunistic "Jay Jay" and that is why all Ghanaians are asking him to write his memoirs for us to know the stories from the horse's own mouth. Gathafi stood for a cause far greater for "Jay Jay" to advise him to flee Africa. For your "Jay Jay" half the story has not yet been told!

The man is gone. A lunatic at times and a caricature and puppet of Fidel. May his soul rest in peace. I really do not know how he helped the majority of Venezuelans. The poverty level in Venezuela is rather high, and as a despot and dictator, he was ruthless and did not care for the protection of human rights of his people. If someone disagrees with this assesment, then go ask the average Venezuelan who suffered under Hugo. I am glad JJ could attend Hugos funeral and burial. But what about his buddy Ghadaffi? Why did he not attend that one? Is the state paying for this trip? The human rights of every being ought to be respected and protected.
