  When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

  ...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
  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...

  we told you so , every dog now knows there is war around the corner and it will be the Akans against the rest , no ideology or divisive politics will work . personally i do not think the supreme court decision will trigger any shooting rather it will only go down as a another reason the people have no confidence in the institutions of state . the ndc have spent most of their last 7 months looting what they can . they know they have completely lost the support of the Akans especially when the Elimina chiefs snubbed him like a chicken shit pepeni that he is . the British the ndc is trying use all their propaganda pamphlet journalists to mislead us but this time no one is buying their foolishness . a few more injustices and they will feel the full force of the Akan fury . long live the republic of Akan

  Even the foolish, stupid, corrupt, and unintelligent NDC government has sensensed danger ahead and has put its security on alert. Why is it wrong for America, the most intelligent people in the world to caution their citizens in Ghana of sensing dangers ahead? Why is Gbevlo and his security aparatus assuring Ghanaians that they are prepared if they don't sense danger ahead. Why then blame America?

  Much as I have condemned (and will continue to) politicians and their surrogates who display arrogance, stupidity and what have you, Sam Okudzeto must realise that politicians are simply a reflection of our society and the behaviours and airs that people carry with them in civil life, they take into politics.
  
  It also cuts both ways - if we the citizens want to be respected by politicians, we also need to respect them.
  
  What does Okudzeto say about the needless insults, stereotyping and caricatures that we see of politicians on radio, TV and the news / social media? Is it OK for me to insult, castigate and accuse a politician falsely whilst expecting them to show me respect? It does not make sense.
  
  The key word is RESPONSIBILITY. We owe it to ourselves as a nation for ALL of us REGARDLESS to show mutual respect however much we disagree and argue with each other. That and only that is the way to do business and live in a civil society which is at ease with itself.
  
  Blaming one side is always the wrong thing to do and that is why I fundamentally disagree with Sam Okudzeto with all due respect.

  Okudzeto, you are partly to blame for this appalling political situation in Ghana. You are in a position to speak up your mind in a healthy manner to foster the cordiality and the respect you are talking about now. Sadly and disappointingly, you fails miserably. Instead you were partially and comfortably playing your behind the scene politics in favour of your party but could not confidently use your ability to enhance persuasion and political respect amongst our politicians. You want to be seen as a referee but you are not and you couldn't be because your actions and utterances indicate clearly without any doubt that you take sides which does not encourage equity and political advancement in Ghana. Okudzeto, you shouldn't have waited all this time for the 2012 Election petition and owusu afriyie & Hopeson Adorye's contempt case to wake you up to start making your current comments. Sorry, Sir, you have disappointed some Ghanaians badly.

  This gentleman's exhortations are rather interesting! On the one hand he is clearly aware of the fact that the votes of the Ghanaian electorate can be bought for a few pesewas at election time. On the other hand he advises that the electorate demand respect from the politicians. I suggest that the two situations are mutually exclusive! When you can buy my vote for next to nothing, it is impossible to then respect me. The mess that we are in, is of our own making!

  Yes, Amoabeng said it all, but I wonder if the so called ''I know all politicians and degree holders''who hold positions in Ghana will even understand the truth in Amoabeng's words, concerning the system of government imposed on us by the West. I think, perhaps one man, one vote may be good to us at certain time of which is not now, as everything is going wrong with all the nations pushed into this system.
  
  What is annoying is that the west is quite aware of our economic situations and the general levell of the majority of our people in this political system. The west just want us to continue having propblems so that they can capitalise on that to push us always to the tight corner economically. What the west fail to accept is that democracy could be good to all politics, but because levels and abilities to absolve things vary, it should be an experience to any good fellow to allow time to play part in the preparation of the minds of those concerned.
  
  Just like the world economical power house China. They never started straight with what we call one man, one vote policy. They studied collectively and persued what they realised could work better for their nation. Why can not we sit together today with an open heart and study collectively what system will be good to all of us. Let us look into the statement of Mr Amoabeng and with sober reflection wiLL can surely realise and accept what belong to us. Meanwhile, I think we can even find a good political system, but can the West spear headed by America allow us to even experiment it? I wonder if they will.
  
  Naturally America is a thorn in our flesh, hence they are what they do in the world today, causing troubles every where. Amoabeng, you are intelligent, bold, visionary and genuine patriot. I love your visionary mind and I see all the hypocrates around you too, but do your best to train them inorder to understand you if not they will sell you to the west as a communist and anti west, just like they brained washed us to under rate the Chinese but thanks to the heavens that today America owes China in trllion of dollars.
  
  And my question is, even is China one man, one vote, style of politics, and how do they become the economical power house of the world? Do they practise the west system before they got to the higher level they are today? Answer me fellow citizens? Shama unto the west for their political fallacies.
