NPP lawyers could NOT handle their own case in court and had to rely on an economist (DR Bawumia) to speak law in court for them. Even Nana could not attempt. SHAMEFUL IN DEED.

What about these Trokosi crazy lawyers, Kpegah, Tsatsu, the so called luminary lawyer who has never won a case in court. Senanu, the Lawyers who sleeps in court in the middle of finishing a sentence. Amekudse, the crazy I am Obama and Mahama friend who is on drugs and Kojogah Adawuda who has admitted the EC engaged in massive irregularities during the December elections?

My friend in Ghana said any criminal who enters the university becomes a lawyer or an accountant, and those who couldn't become police officers.Because people in both profession have neither dignity nor shame.

You have destroyed your otherwise a good article with examples from only one party. Remember objectivity is a key ingredient of being learned.

Kpakpo is has written what is otherwise a nice piece. But he betrayed his own lack of intelligence. School smart and good in debit and crediting, he has shown that only one part of his brain works. Write to educate not to denigrate others who could be smarter than your class of accounting students. In my world, only those who cannot do analytical work end up in accounting - routine and mundane debit and credit.

I hundred percent agree with you my brother but I can assure you that,it is only the NPP lawyers who are dumb. I make a lot of sense with you. I have refused to allow my son to do Law when he opted for it. But like I said, it is only the NPP lwayers who are dumb and clown.Akufo Addo has no law certificate but he is a lawyer.How sould I allow my son to be in such a company with fake lawywrs like Akufo Addo and Owusu Afriyie and that "Bullshit" called Ayikoi Otto, the idiot who is trying hard to find a classmate for Akufo Addo.

Kpakpo, always give thanks to God for the Queen of England. Had it not been for the benevolence of Her Highness you would have been wallowing in utmost misery with your O'Level and your cascade of other 'quasi qualifications' in Ghana. It is the benevolence of the Queen of England that has seen a lot of the weakest among the weak in Ghana and for that matter the whole of Africa and the world at large to have a taste of high quality world standard professional qualification through the ACCA. Left to our useless universities alone Ghana would have been in perpetual darkness. Is it not true that where ever you find our useless university graduates managing affairs there is always confusion, corruption, incompetence,etc? Talk of Politics, the GES, Parliament and the Public Sector and you will always find them there committing atrocities which even leads to the envy of Satan. We always talk about the achievements of the Asian Tigers but refuse to say that apart from England that has the highest population of student accountants of ACCA the next countries that follow suit in that order are China, India and Malaysia. This is how far our useless university education has brought us.

The most jealous and low level article I ever come across, and l am convinced it is coming from a frustrated struggling man.
