Mr Grant, the argument about room mates can be from both angles. One of long lasting friendly and cordial relationship and the other which is short lived and acrimonious. In the case of the latter, it is reasonable to suspect motive for ill feeling and revenge. However, in this particular case, I am unsure which of the two (advantage and disadvantage) is relevant.In fact, both are not applicable.

I therefore see the argument as the typical NDC/NPP politics because had Afari Gyan and President Mahama been room mates at Legon, NPP would make similar argument. I think it's irrelevant and believe that Afari Gyan was capable of going beyond past connection with any of the two candidates and be impartial.

This is exactly what ndc lawyers are doing. They have a very bad case in court which is difficult to defend. they think the only thing to defend them is the "Roommatisation" between Nana Addo and afari djan.

As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today...

Did Tsatsu or Ato Dadzie to sugget that the EC Chair man was biased against their side? unles you or Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, who is purporting to be the official spokesperson of Nana Addo,has any proof that a certain 'animus' exists between the two fmr. university roomates,I cannot fathom this 'mudding the waters'exercise you and Kweku Baako are engaged in.
Don`t you know for a fact that Tsikata and Akufo Addo had acted as a legal team on behalf of Amoako Tuffuor in a now much talked about court case he(Tuffour) launched in the SC? Why did Baako gloss over that and cite the example of Boakye Gyan and Rawlings - a case that evidently depicts a situation of a once cordial relationship between two former high school chums which later turned sour?
And your point about this being "the typical NDC/NPP politics because had Afari Gyan and President Mahama been room mates at Legon,NPP would make similar argument" is meaningless!
Or are you guys saying that Nana is peeved because Afari Gyan did not "steal" or "rig" the 2012 presidential election results in his(Nana Addo`s) favour?

The eminent judges do not think like you.If you have attended court before, you realise that before a criminal is convicted, the judge asks the the prosecutor whether the accused has had a previous conviction? Do you know why the judge does that? This would allow the judge the latitude to apply to the sentence.If the answer is NO, the judge might apply a lesser sentence.Kweku Baako, let me tell you that under normal circumstance, people who have lived together in one house would not harm each other because of the bond created between them.You see the Judges are very eminent people and they understand this principle.The question that Mr. Tsikata asked Dr. Afafi Gyan was very relevant to the court.Kweku Baako, I advise you always to think laterally before you talk, I believe you are 60 years now and should not act like a teenager.Do not ridicule yourself this way and I tell you, I used to admire you in view of your historical memory of events,but in view of your deliberately skewed twist of events in favour of the NPP, I have stopped buying the New Crusading Guide Newspaper.

By Collins dictionary, FALLACY means an idea which many believe to be true, but which is in fact false because it is based on incorrect information or reasoning. Unquote. Is it true that they were room mates ? If it is true, what's the fallacy here ? Is it incorrect information from third respondent ? No it is NOT. My problem with Kweku Baako is he talks without reasoning. In the court of law, there is what we call reasons before the fact and reasons after the fact. What is happening now are all reasons after the fact and its noise. Reasons before the fact are presumptions. Let me give you a classical example.

Dr Bawumia says he is an economist and a banker. Is he aware that all banks now use across the world biometric registration and verification ? At least in Ghana we do. He talks about serial numbers on checks and believes that he has a good case when it comes to serial numbers on checks. Ha, is he aware that a savings account with drawer goes through verification of thump print on a computer ? The question here is that will a bank deny you, who so desperately want access to your money because you need to pay your hospital bills because their systems are down and they cannot verify you on their little screens, or they will go through manual verification to prove you are you to give you access to your funds. In fact, if Kweku Baako or any of the Supreme Court judges desperate for funds at a local bank are told systems are down so they cannot be verified, am sure, that bank will be sued for God knows how much and am sure Kweku Baako will write all the hell in the world to tarnish the banks reputation.

"Interogate' which some politicians and other poor-schooled media persons have embracedwhole-heartedly into our 'vocabulary'. Anybody who has followed the proceedings is fully aware that this was an 'aside' factual stament which was elicited to counter-act the errorneous impression that had been created by people like this same Kweku Baako and certain members within the NPP that the EC Chairman had conspired,aided and abetted in 'fixing' the 2012 presidential elections to the disadvatage of Akufo Addo. Not having gone past the walls of Winneba secondary school,which he was unable to complete,Kweku "Ananse" Baako,brazenly uses the word "illegality" to describe the EC`s declaration of John Mahama as the winner of the presidential ballot! How "Mr. Documents" reached this conclusion is beyond me,but this 'rabble-rouser' is allowed to further 'poison'the political atmosphere by aking such a contempteous and prejudicial statement about such a sensitive case before the SC.

Folks my room mate/s in the late 80's in Legon did not like me much for one reason - narrowing them - that is having a female visitor and forcing your room mate to look for shelter else where. Another reason is also being street smart well dressed and versatile in the latest jazz music and the good old scenes from Keteke, to Micks Disco, Caesar's etc. For surface we were buddies but deep down I knew they did not like me much. I presume one coming from an affluent background and one from a moderate rural background says a lot. This relationship based on sharing rooms in Legon should not have been on the table in court.

Why would Baako -the socalled "renouned Ghananian journalist" draw all that inference from the lawyers' questions? The lawyers were simply pre-emptying any future accusations that Nana and Afari do not see eye to eye. It's simply as that and nothing more. So to have these semi-illiterate empty-headed journalists make comments like Baako did is an insult to the average Ghanaians who really understand human nature. Opportunist Baako at his beest again. Nana will never be president, you will never get the perks you got during the Kuffour Administration. Your time too is over!!

DON'T BLAME HIM, HE HAS NOT GONE PAST FORM 5 WHERE HE WAS DISMISSED FOR SMOKING WEE. I WONDER WHY PEOPLE READ THE NONSENSE HE PUBLISHES IN HIS PAPER.

Nana thought because they were room mates, EC Chairman should declare him President even if he does not deserve it. Kweku Baako, what is your point in this? Illetrate certificateless like you. When educated people are talking, a rubbish like you also wants to say something. Is fallacy, the only big word you know?

A fallacy is an argument that uses poor reasoning. An argument can be fallacious whether or not its conclusion is true.[1] A fallacy can be either formal or informal. An error that stems from a poor logical form is sometimes called a formal fallacy or simply an invalid argument. An informal fallacy is an error in reasoning that does not originate in improper logical form. Arguments committing informal fallacies may be formally valid, but still fallacious.
