  • OYOKOBA 10 years ago

    In the NDC the more obnoxious one is the more likely you will be rewarded with political post, and that was what that idiot was doing that got him into trouble. He was following the playbook of Felix Ofosu Kwakye, Murtala Moh ...

    IF HE IS TRULY REPENTANT THAT IS GREAT ENOUGH.

  • Homesense 10 years ago

    You felt it know better.

    Add your experience to the message you intend to Ghanaians, as this story hints. And tell them also to NEVER JOKE WITH THE LAW, FOR IT'S HELL TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF IT.

    Obaa Yaa, I like your comment but remember, NO ELDERS of yours said "cowards always die before their death" It was an English writer who said it long time ago. Did you forget your literature.

  • OBAA YAA 10 years ago

    Thank you, for the source of this quote. Which is from an English Literature, a play by Shakespeare, titled Julius Caesar. Referring to Nina being afraid anytime she goes out alone. However, if read my posting I did not clai ...

    aTUBIGA MUST BE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THAT ITS BETTER TO DIE AS A HERO THAN TO LIVE AS A COWARD.PLEASE CONTROL YOUR MOUTH FOR,YOUR 3DAYS WAS JUST TOO SHORT FOR YOU TO BE SO OUTSPOKEN.

  • Kofi Adjaho Mahama 10 years ago

    Born again Atubiga, aka Alex Acolatse, should tell Ghanaians what his true identity is. Is he Alex Acolatse or Stephen Atubiga?. He should also clear the air whether it is true he was an NPP cardholder when he was in the USA ...

    Same analysis should apply to ur pal Kuranchie. Let him mention another word after his release and he will get 6 months. Even Kwaku Baako will not defend him

  • Addo Batsa 10 years ago

    you have partially experienced death but surely is not your time and you will do marvelous for your mother Ghana.
    Welcome home and if your colleague did what you did at court, you would not have had a change of environment.

  • OBAA YAA 10 years ago

    This is no partial death experience of death of this guy, he is just a total coward. How could he even think that the officer or the government were going to kill him when the whole world knows of his whereabouts? When he is ...

    Better late in repenting than never. I really admire the way he accepted his mistakes and promised never to return to it again. He should also promote the welfare of prisoners in his tours.

  • FRedsaid 10 years ago

    Does it have to take this experience of 3 days in jail for you to know that incendiary comments like the ones you made is bad for a nation that has just embarked on a new democratic dispensation?

  • Akua Yirenkyi 10 years ago

    Why should you be afraid to die? You said there will be civil war if the verdict does not go in favour of your party. Yes, some of you have never tasted war before that's why you say or write anything you want. You should hav ...

    You are really myopic. What about him making those incendiary comments and spending 3 days in jail makes a saint? Saints for that matter never beat war drum but peace drums period.

    This is the begining. More time ahead and you are bound to experience the second time if you dont zip your mouth. You talk too much but of no value. You've been warned, take care

  • Yaw Poku, USA 10 years ago

    Coward dies many times before his final death.

  • Natural Mystic 10 years ago

    I would take it that Mr. Atubiga left Nsawam for Akuse either at 2am or just a few minutes after 2am. A journey of 63.07 km took 2 hours? Were you riding on the back of a pregnant snail? Na waooooooo!

  • Lorgo Ligri 10 years ago

    No Mystic, he took a ride in the warden's smelly shoes. Ebi de Ghana way.

  • ADJOA 10 years ago

    Coward or no coward, it's all Great!
    It is only God who can send a man to prison to make him a free man. Tsatsu Tsikata became a free man in period. Hope Ken too shall be set free in free.

  • foyoo 10 years ago

    Atubigah, your jail sentence was as a results of Ken's attitude in the court room. Anyway, dont forget as you said to preach peace to Ghanaians.
