If today fellow country men and women,
we still have some people who claim to
be educated, sensible and wishes our nation to grow progressive and supports NDC, then fellow country men and women, Ghana we have a very long way to go before we can see such
progress every body is seeking for.

Just 100 days of "Nkomfem" President in Office Ghana as a nation can go total black out for a whole day, no
electricity and even common drinking
water and our nation's sovereignty
is now colapsed and brought our nation
to be a second class nation in the whole African continent.

WHICHEVER PARTY GHANAIANS SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR IS WHAT THE RIGHT-THINKING GHANAIAN THINKS IS RIGHT. THOSE WHO THINK WHOEVER THEY SUPPORT IS THE BEST AND THE REMAINING 5 MILLION GHANAIANS WHO THINK OTHERWISE ARE FOOLISH CAN REMAIN IN THEIR OWN FOOLISH UNIVERSE. THEY CALL THEMSELVES DEMOCRATIC, YET CANT TOLERATE OTHER PEOPLES CHOICES.

Unfortunately you are doing the same - being intolerant of other tribes. I used the heading to stick a needle in your conscience and when pricked you may wake up to the reality that Ghana is at its best when we act and think together as a people.

national security is always at risk when the govt of the day is tribalist , amateur , incompetent , corrupt and doesnt have the confidence of the majority of the people as is the case today because of election engineering and rigging. however if they are able to reaffirm that they are willing and able to adhere to the interests of the people instead of this attitude of my time has come so now i go chop some . the govt is supposed to serve all the people and not ting that the people are to serve their selfish evil motivated agendas. the unity of the nation is in jeopardy due to the ewes , northerners, gas and some ashanti retards and the best way is to after over 50 years call for a referendum as to determine which regions wish to remain in Ghana as i am sure most Akans no longer wish to be part of this nonsense. without unity and a general awareness with integrity the country can never develop

Who is this useless man calling himself Sgt Anani Fiadzoe.check yor grammer and ascertain whether you are educated yourself. No wonder you cannot understand the politics in Ghana today. Ghanaians rejected NPP because (1)They turned Ghana into drug port when given the power to rule.(2)They looted govt lands and Kufour himself was a culprit, You remenber the Kumasi and International students hostel land saga? (3)the Chipanzees started fucking white ladies left and right without condoms, You remember Dr Anani and kufour's children with Yatzi's sagas.(4) Then came Essekus Kickback allegation aginst Kufour. You remember Kufour and the seventeen Thiefs who vied for the flagbearership of the NPP and the way they flashd cash in the face of all the hardship they visited on Ghanaians. Now you idiot should understand why the wise Ghanaians rejected NPP and voted massively for NDC.

Because Sgt. Anani Fiadzoe has hammered the nail right on top of its head it hurts you.

We do not want grammer or whatever but
what Majarity people of this nation are seeking for is truth, honesty, transparent, accountability and social justice which Dramani Mahama,
President Nkomfem and his Coup D'etat
born party hasn't got and will never
get nearer to it. If that is what you want to see in our country, sorry
you are not part of us. Who voted massively for NDC the crooks, instead
NDC looted masively the majority people of this nation, Mahama lost it
but did not win you are rather an uneducated idiot, hence you do not see
what is going on in our country and what went on during the elections, fugutive why can't you come home and you are hiding in someones country, writing exposing your political naivety? CAT THIEF LIKE YOU! SWINE!!

I have read your comments a few times, but could not any sense of what you are trying to say.

The last thing we need in our country is military rule. The worst civilian government in my perspective is better than the best military government. For this reason therefore, I applaud Nana Akomea for condemning the chairperson of UK/Ireland branch of NPP call for a coup d’état to essentially right the wrongs of the Mahama administration.

These people are effecting National security and are trying to incite

The mens rea

The inciter must intend the others to engage in the behaviour constituting the offence, including any consequences which may result, and must know or believe (or possibly suspect) that those others will have the relevant mens rea. In R v Curr,[7] the defendant incited women to commit offences under the Family Allowances Act 1945 but, because the prosecution did not prove that the women had the mens rea to constitute the offence, the conviction was quashed. Fenton Atkinson J. explained that:

In our view, the argument for the prosecution here gives no effect to the word "knowing" in [the relevant statutory provision], and in our view could only be guilty.. if the woman solicited that, that is, the woman agent sent to collect the allowance, knew that the action she was asked to carry out amounted to an offence.

This is not a satisfactory decision. In R v Whitehouse,[8] a father was charged with inciting his fifteen year-old daughter to have sexual intercourse with him. At this age, she would have been excused from liability for committing the offence of incest with her father. The conviction was quashed on appeal and Scarman LJ. explained that:

... we have therefore come to the conclusion, with regret, that the indictment does not disclose an offence known to the law because it cannot be a crime on the part of this girl aged 15 to have sexual intercourse with her father, though it is of course a crime and a very serious crime, on the part of the father. There is here incitement to a course of conduct, but that course of conduct cannot be treated as a crime by the girl.

He continued:

It is regrettable indeed that a man who importunes his daughter under the age of 16 to have sexual intercourse with him but does not go beyond incitement cannot be guilty of a crime.

The Court of Appeal in R v Claydon (2005) EWCA Crim 2817 has repeated this criticism. Claydon had sexually abused the thirteen year-old son of his partner in the 1980s, and was tried twenty years later on an indictment containing counts of sexual offences, including two counts of incitement to commit buggery. At that time, there was an irrebuttable presumption that a boy under the age of fourteen years was incapable of sexual intercourse (applying R v Waite (1892) 2 QBD 600-601 and R v Williams [1893] 1 QB 320-321). It was argued by the Crown that, although the boy could not in law have committed the act incited, it was nevertheless quite possible for the defendant to incite him. Having considered R v Whitehouse and R v Pickford,[9] the Court of Appeal felt obliged to reject that argument. As Laws J. said in Pickford, "it is a necessary element of the element of incitement that the person incited must be capable [by which he meant capable as a matter of law] of committing the primary crime."[10] The Court agreed because the focus of the offence of inciting is solely on the acts and intention of the inciter while the intention of the person incited are not relevant when considering whether the offence of incitement has been committed. It further endorsed the views of Smith and Hogan (10th Edition at p 295) who criticised the decision in Curr on the basis that "...the real question should not have been not whether the women actually had the knowledge, but whether D believed they had." Furthermore, Smith (1994) said that "the court has confused the mens rea of incitement with the mens rea of the offence incited".
The actus reus

The inciter is one who reaches out and seeks to influence the mind of another to commit a crime, although where, for example, a letter conveying the incitement is intercepted, there is only an attempt to incite (see R v Banks (1873) 12 Cox CC 393). So merely making suggestions is not enough. There must be actual communication so that the other person has the opportunity to agree, but the actus reus is complete whether or not the incitement actually persuades another to commit an offence. In R v Goldman [2001] Crim LR 822 the defendant wrote to a Dutch firm (ESV) which had advertised pornography for sale, requesting pornographic material. He was convicted of an attempt to incite another (ESV) to distribute indecent photographs because the offer to buy amounted to an inducement to ESV to commit a crime.

In R v Fitzmaurice,[11] it was held that the necessary element of persuasion was satisfied by a "suggestion, proposal or request [that] was accompanied by an implied promise of reward". In Race Relations Board v Applin,[12] Lord Denning stated that a person may incite another to do an act by threatening or by pressure, as well as by persuasion. The incitement can take any form (words or deeds). It may be addressed to a particular person or group or to the public at large. In R v Marlow [1997] Crim LR 897 the defendant wrote and published a book on the cultivation of cannabis, which he advertised, selling about 500 copies. It was alleged that the book was not a bona fide textbook, but was an incitement to those who bought it to cultivate cannabis. The defence claimed the book as a genuine contribution to the debate on the legalisation of cannabis and said that it only contained general advice which was freely available elsewhere. The judge directed the jury that they had to be sure that the book could "encourage or persuade or is capable of encouraging or persuading other people to produce the drug". The Court of Appeal held that there was no misdirection and the conviction was not unsafe.

Thus, the incitement may be implied as well as express and may be directed to persons generally. So manufacturing and distributing devices that will facilitate the breaking of the law will be taken to encourage those who buy it to break the law (see Invicta Plastics Ltd v Clare[13]). The test is whether there is a lawful use for the device. For example, a recording or transcribing device may be used lawfully without breaching copyright, but a device to detect radar signals so as to avoid speed camera/red light infringement systems would have no other purpose than assisting drivers to evade detection. But note that the act incited must be a crime by the person incited so any alleged breach of copyright would have to be criminal, and the defendant would have to know all the material facts that would make the incited person's behaviour criminal, but not that the behaviour was a crime (see the public policy ignorantia juris non excusat which prevents ignorance of the law from being an excuse). In R v Whitehouse[14] an uncle did not incite his 15-year-old niece to incest because, if the incitement had succeeded and she had submitted to intercourse, she would not have committed an offence. This applied R v Tyrell[15] which stated that where a statutory offence is designed to protect a particular class of individuals against themselves, they cannot, as the victims, commit such offences against themselves. In Tyrell, the girl was not guilty of inciting the man to have under-age sex with her, since the girl could not herself be guilty of the full offence.

You don't support coups and yet your members are running diarhroea from their mouths irresponsibly and you can't check them. The truth is donning on the NPP that in the event of any coup they certaily will be the loosers. All those flashy cars bought with state looted money will be driven by private soldiers and police constables. The looted state lands will be reverted to the state. Those lazy Parliamentarians will vomit the ex-gratia. No wonder Maj Oduro was crying from roof tops warning his colleagues.Chief Kufour will have to admit he fronted for his corrupt father. All others whether in NPP or NDC will suffer for any crime commited against the state. Akomea is therefore right. NPP cannot afford to support any coup otherwise he himself is a cannned beef. BOOOOM

Nana Akufo-Addo and the entire leadership of the NPP must denounce the UK leadership of their party and commit themselves to the Rule of Law, ballots, not bullets.
Today is April 17. Remember this day in 1966? Colonel Kotoka or did he peomote himself to a General was killed at the Accra airport. In planning the CIA financed coup of 1966, Kotoka planned to shoot the president Nkrumah at the airport in February 1966, when Nkrumah was on his way to Hanoi and China. His CIA advisors opposed this move. No coup leader as the great Abdul Malik Kweku Baako said recently is free except Jerry Rawlings. Afrifah, Acheampong, Akufo met their waterloo in June 1979. So would any future coup leader. Baako's father was the Defence minister in 1966. A committed Nkrumaist, he tried to fight back in 24 February and his Ghana Airforce helicopter was shot at the junction of the Flagstaff House and the road to the Cantonments post office.
No all coups, yes to the Rule of Law.Maybe, the press should interview Police Commisisoner Deku and General Ocran, commander of the First Brigade (Tema), a traitor to the CPP, Nkrumah and the African world. Ocran's intervention made the coup to succeed.

For once I agree with Akomea whose statements, actions and posturing in the recent past has not helped the situation and probably encouraged idiots like the NPP 'chairman' in the UK/Ireland (and others like Adofo Rockson) to advocate for a coup d'etat!!! Fancy that! So, we do not have it our way, let's encourage the military to intervene so that 'our lot' will find their way back in!!!

Although I supported JJ Rawling's military takeover of en erstwhile corrupt military regime who had grown fat on our resources and frankly had run out of ideas ( a coup toppling a coup), that was a popular uprising and the nation to a large extent wanted it at the time.

When JJ and his men (wrongly in my view) overthrew the democratically elected Limann regime after 27 months in power,

I condemned it and still do today, whatever the subsequent role Rawlings and his PNDC/NDC played in what today is a fledgling democracy in Africa. The Limann government was not given sufficient time, space and lacked the resources (and the goodwill of the external partners at the time) to transform our economy and thus had (has) nothing to show for their stewardship. What followed in the 10 years after, in my view was a backward step for Ghana and people suffered (remember "Rawlings' chain" during the famine of 1982-84?). Any how we are where we are and if I may add, dissenting voices in the PNP government of Limann contributed to the Rawlings coup (not a revolution in my eyes).

Today, it is a whole opposition party who pride themselves in being "champions of democracy in Ghana" and their surrogates like Otchere-Darko can write whole chapters of history trying to showcase how they have made a significant impact on our democracy. Yet they call for a coup d'etat to help them resolve their issues and 'cannot understand why people are silent, quiet or not protesting on the streets'. Pathetic.

If Akomea has come to his senses and realises what damage their unwise calls can do to our country and democracy and indeed their own political fortunes, then that is a good thing. What is left in my view is for the NPP party to discipline their UK/Ireland chairman, expel him or dissociate themselves from him and anything that relates to him for suggesting such a treasonable and "unpatriotic" act on the nation of Ghana!!!

GHANAWEB ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE WHY DO YOU ALLOW PAOPLE TO COME AND INSULT EACHOTHER ON YOUR PLATFORM IT IS NOW OBVIOUS YOU LACK CREDIBILITY AND SENSIBILITY YOU ARE NDC BIAS AND VERY RARELY/OCCASIONALLY NPP BIAS ENOUGH BEFORE WE TAKE YOU ON. YOUR MANAGEMENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. UNLESS OFFCOURSE YOUR ORGANIZATION IS ONE OF THOSE SECRET ARMS OF THE NDC OR ARE FULL OF EWES WHO SOMETIMES USE OTHER TRIBAL(ESP. AKAN) NAMES TO INSULT THE OPPOSITION AFTER A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF THE TREND ON GHANAWEBS' COMMENT BOX IT IS CLEAR THAT ALL SENSIBLE WELL MEANING PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID YOUR PAGE.

The problem with the NPP today is members like Akomea have been relegated to the background and replaced with Nana Addo faction sympathizers like Sir. John. The Akomea's need to wrestle control back from this group in the party. I wonder what Sir John would have to say about Akomea presenting himself as the spokesman of the NPP again.

Again he will be surprise to know that the actions of its NPP members in the USA, UK have all been engineered from the Nana Addo faction in the party. The NPP needs a radical change from within.
