Do you not know that Akronfuor only came milk us dry thus the increase in poverty rate and Ghana as Cocaine hub in the world. Not mention arm robbery. Had Akronfuor gone a step ahead of Rawlings' Govt on issues of Accountability, Probity and Integrity, Ghana would have somewhat come near achieving it's vision 2020.

Ghanaians are primitive and primitivism is exhibited by the so called leaders in Ghana in such occasions. Rawlings should not have been treated in that manner; he should have been allowed to lay the wreath. After all, he was the one who personally imposed Mills on Ghanaians and allowed him to become president. NDC always washes its dirty old clothes outside.

Ghanaians are not civilised people, Ken Kuranchie
General News of Tuesday, 16 July 2013
Source: peacefmonline

Chronicling the events that unfolded during his incarceration, Ken Kuranchie has expressed doubt about the civilization of the country. He said: "we have no right to call ourselves civilized people.”. In his view, Ken Kuranchie, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Searchlight, explained his 10-day prison experience after being declared contemptuous of court following a publication in his newspaper, said: "Ghanaians have no right to call themselves “civilized people” end of quote.

My comment:
What do you expect from the people with mentalities of:

A: "METIMEHU AND ALL DIE BE DIE?"
B: "SAKAWA AND SIKADURO?"
C: "XENOPHOBIC AND ETHNOCENTRISM?" etc.
D: "BURYING INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS WITH THEIR DEAD CHIEFS" at this day and age.
E: "TWO FACE PEOPLE"...(they smile with you, at same time stabbed you at the back, especially if you are a Nigerian). Who need an enemy if you have a "typical Ghanaian" as a friend?
F: They spent most of their LAZY times ONLINE spewing all sort of 'NEGATIVITIES' against Nigerians, (AFTER STEALING THEIR MONEY AND PROPERTIES WITH THEIR "EVIL BUSIA ACO" AND VIOLENTLY DEPORTED THEM BACK TO NIGERIA). What is their PROBLEMS?
G: They all have PHD qualifications, and with their (Pull Him Down mentalities) , they cannot stand their fellow Africans, mostly Nigerians, to prosper in their land hence the jealousy about anything and everything Nigerians. Why?
H: They are so L-A-Z-Y that the CAN'T even dig their on graves.....thanks to the CHINESE GRAVE DIGGERS. Haba!
I: Only in Ghana that you hear a Member of Parliament of Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng, shouting in public thus: "My wife is a prostitute " – MP yells in public"..Source: The Chronicle, Wednesday, 24 July 2013. Was that the behaviour of a 'civilised person?' A serving MP for that matter. Hell No!

Ken Kuranchie, was very right when he said that talking about 'CIVILISATION' the word: "GHANAIANS"... should NEVER be mentioned at all because they are 'STONE AGE' in mentalities. You heard it from the horses' mouth,...a prominent Ghanaian for that matter. Need l say more?

This is the way the administration flows, they are only apologizing because the 91 year old decided that she was not going to take it lying down, other wise they would have rolled over her and done the change. Shame on Vanderpuije and the whole administration. You did it to Ohene Djan and now to this sweet old lady. Hurray to Theodosia for standing up and speaking up.
Ghanaians should take a cue from this old lady and protest the evil, corruption, and hardships in the society. BRAVO Theodosia!!!!!!

You are of no use to society because you can't free your self from this "Hearts/Kotoko, NDC/NPP" rivarly. JJ criticism of Mills turns out to be objective and if Mills had headed to some of them, he would probably be living today. He was under performing bcos he was ill and dying but he was pushed to stay in office and he had the support of guys like you. Mahama is not doing well and it appears he is not well equipped for the job, but there are too many blind people in the country who are unable to speak for the children whose future is at stake.

You people don´t practically understand why Ghana after 56 years of Independence from the British Colonial imperialism, we are still suffering.

Any good planning of the country Nkrumah was undertaking, these grou sabotage him, now everything Nkrumah established and built in the country are all destroyed or gone, some abolished, including Osagyefo Dr. kwame Nkrumah´s compulsory Free education in the whole country., starting from the North-South-East and West. We will gone in the history of complete destruction in the country without repairs.

You are one of those sensible persons we need on this platform.
Folks most users of this platform is tarnishing the credibility it's meant to command. Could anybody just dream and publish it here? No any reliable facts or references to check what they publish? What a waste of time and Internet resources? Why would the operators of this platform allow these? How would these meet the intend purposes of setting up the platform, for funny jokes? Look, for many reasons this platform must have been stock of practical ideas to push both individuals and the whole nation forward. I do not wholly blame these irrelevant, provocative, divisiveness, tribalistic, etc comments on this platform on those contributors, but particularly on the operators who just can't sit up to censor some of the writings demeaning the essence of the platform. Here must be place to join minds isn't? Do vultures go to beautiful restaurants to eat? Because the operators have left this platform as rubbish dump that's why a lot of both rubbish reporting and comments are attracted to the platform. I hope this platform owner(s) would see my point, rethink and go back for a better vision just like how credible and reputable platforms do always possess.

The man JJ hunted Mills right from the word go. He is dead and what will the wreath laying do to the departed soul? At times, this should send a crystal clear message to those who are well educated that if a disgruntled soldier deposed a civilian government, they should never hurry to embrace him. Mills, with all his educational background, stooped too low and allowed JJ to toy with him. It is beyond reason why a professor should follow someone like JJ and in the end, he pressured him to death. It does not make any sense. If Mills did not enter politics, I believe he will be alive today.

The Independent Newspaper's attempt at mischief making is soo amature. A little research could have informed you that Rawlings never laid a wreath for Mills during his funeral. Infact it was after all the wreath had been laid that Rawlings approached the tomb when the Pastors were about to pray for the deceased. In anycase if there was an attempt to block Rawlings from doing anything, he would not have been invited in the first place. This mischief making antics is beyond Independent, grow up as one of the leading Newspapers and leave this for the new rented press.

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Flagstaff house, Military Barracks, Well never forget you!'

WHETHER RAWLINGS LAYS WREATH OR NOT,IT WILL NOT BRING MILLS BACK.ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.LETS NOT FORGET THAT IT WAS HIM THAT BROUGHT HIM INTO POLITICS AND HE HAD THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE HIM.

Advice all former leaders to remain in the backyard and be the statesmen we expect them to be like Nelson Mandela who is a selfless icon and beacon of humility the world over.

Ok ok, do you not know that Ghanaian/black bigots are the loudest complainants about racism? Motherfucker bigots.

And why do our Sakawa "Prophets" keep accepting bribe money and other ill-gotten wealth as tithe? Why can't they publicly say "we don't want your dirty money. Take it back where you got it". Motherfucker Sakawa "Prophets".

Oh, by the way, why are too many Ghanaians so stupid (or just greedy?!) enough to be separated from the monies by Sakawa "Prophets".

Oh, Kwame Nkrumah, please come back. your people have become a disappointment.

Nkrumah never dies.
Sekou no Kwame
Mahama no Kwame
Addo no Kwame
CPP no Kwame
NDC no Kwame
NPP no Kwame

How can Nkrumah's own people be so daft, so greedy, so bigoted ....?!

Btw, why do daft motherfuckers keep saying Sekou should talk about Egypt and not Ghana. Fuck shit idiots, who is a Ghanaian? It so hard to argue/reason with too many Ghanaians due to their momoni/totobi/koobi cognitive development.

And Mills, he was a good man who turned out to be highly gullible. He would have handed his motherland over to TBJ and other Sakawa “Prophets”.

Mills laid his life down for peace of the nation against the Rawlingses wish of prosecuting and jailing of members of the previous government, this is a well known fact but it looks like some people want to create confusion between the Rawlingses and the government for their selfish interest. RIP Asomdweehene.

But you guys are not serious. Look and the picture Rawlings is not even looking at Mrs. Mills as she is greeting him. His whole body language says it all.

Anyway, was Rawlings the only statesman man who did not lay a wreath?Is Kuffuor not a human being?What about Kofi Annan?will the laying of wreath by Rawlings bring about economic improvements?

Do former president Rawlings with his age has to lay a wreath? Rawlings simply can delegate it to his assistant. Even a head of a clan doesn't lay a wreath but rather delegates it. This is not big of a news to publish on the web, sucker. The writer of this story should rather write science or technology stories. Please don't create confusion between Rawlings and the greaving window.

After all, Mills wasn't any any good ruler. Politics is not for the meek. If Attah Mills couldn't take criticism,that was his business. The news did not mention anybody's name blocking JJ from laying wreath and who cares.
