I absolutely agree with Mike Oquaye Jr that Prof Mills was an honest, God-fearing man. But he made a mistake in judgement by entering politics in the first place.

I personally believe he was never planning to venture into that arena but he was lured by Rawlings and his (P)NDC. He should have known that politics is not for someone who wouldn't want to help other people.

He said that, there is a place in politics for decent people. But that place is not the presidency. He was too gentle and meek to hold that tension-packed office where your decisions and actions will always hurt sections of the citizenry. He judged wrongly when he accepted the offer from the NDC.

All those who knew him closely share the same views as Mike Oquaye Jr. A few days after his death, Yaw Osafo Marfo who attended Achimota with the Prof, published a tribute in which he wondered what pushed Prof Mills into the "deep, murky, shark-infested" water of politics.

We should all learn a lesson from Prof Mill's misjudgement .... "man, know thyself". Prof Mills failed (or perhaps refused) to know himself. This is what caused his waterloo!!! He was a good man and should have lived a peaceful life devoid of politics.
When he joined the political bandwagon, he even started learning to tell lies. He denied complete knowledge of the judgement debt payments to Woyome when the issue first went viral. It later emerged that, he was fully aware of it and even disapproved it when it first came to his desk.

Thanks

In the last sentence of Paragraph 2, I meant to say "He should have known that politics is not for someone who wouldn't want to "hurt" other people. I mistakenLY used the word "help" in place of "hurt"

It is a pity people do not see the need to change the face of politics in this country. They still believe politics should be full of patapaa. He was a change agent

Mills was an opportunist, that's all and an ungrateful person and an irresponsible dad who was afraid of Naadu and so couldn't bring his son home. And they say he was a christian? Twea!

Mike Queye's description of Prof. Mills as a weak class prefect who could not write the names of talkatives for punishment is perfect description of whom the man Mills was. Mike has hit the nail right on the head. There can not be any better description of Prof. Mills than than this. I think Mike be given as prize for this perfect description of Prof. Mills.

Yes, Mills was not in charge. I wouldn't want him for even a slave. Twea, a man who couldn't look after his only son until he was exposed by Kofi Coomson?

IT TAKES COURAGE TO RESIST PRESSURE FROM A GOOD FRIEND, SUCH AS, J. J. RAWLINGS AND NOT PLAY A TIC FOR TAC ON A PESTLING OPPOSITION. AFTER ALL MIKE OQUAYE'S COMRADES WERE THE TALKATIVES WHOSE NAMES ATTA REFUSED TO WRITE. SOME PEOPLE MUST LEARN TO GIVE TOTAL HONOUR, WHERE HONOUR IS DUE BECAUSE THEY WILL NEED IT ONE DAY.

I am neither NPP nor NDC supporter and I believe anybody who holds the Bible in public is weak. How can you claim a leader to be good when his appointees are sharing Tax payers' money as Judgement Debts ?

Mills: A Good Man Who Turned Out Shockingly Gullible.

Would have handed our beloved country to TBJ and the other Sakawa "Prophets".
