Any think thank worth it's salt should build it's own conference halls.
When was the last time you heard the Danquah Institute organising a demonstration or organising mobs to disturb the peace, for the most unfortunate and quite frankly silly email from the British Council in response to a DI re ...

Mr Cudjoe, with all due respect, you have sunk lower in the mud with this one.
To start with, I think the choice of Venue was itself problematic. Why the British Council?
Anybody who sees it the way IMANI sees it doesn' ...

I see no reason why you didn't permit the place to be used by the British council. Its a matter of let them pay 3,000 pounds minimum FEE NOT REFUNDABLE and let them do their own thing so that next time the learn from their be ...

CUDJOE; HAVE YOU EVER LISTEN TO GABBY ON AIR? THEN STOP SAYING THE ARE PEACEFUL ORGANIZATION
It is their property and not NPP's. After all that programme is useless.
So do you want to impose your standards on British Council over and above its policy or you are playing politics? Is the Council the only place?
IMANI or his boss should rather ask the organizers to come and use his facility free. This daydreaming and politically aligned group failed to mention any other political groupings that was ever allowed by the British Council ...

Hello Ghanaian, I don't think 3000 pounds make any difference to the British Council. In recent times the High Commission has made financial donations to the government of Ghana hence peanuts such as 3000 pounds will not let ...

LOOK AT THE MOUTH LIKE 'SHIT'.
Have you ever heard anything original coming from this IMANI before. Only recycled garbage...such a statement can come from any of the NPP groups as well. Next time you will hear him recycling NDC stuff, you mark it
Your comment is spot on. Imani should rather learn a thing from the British Council by distancing itself from the DI if it wants to remain credible. Why should the BC allow itself or premises to be used by these cheap, local ...

The NPP is very cunning. The NPP pisses on your back and tell you it is raining. Yen nim won tete.
The most Stupid person boss
So, the DI wanted to benefit from that importance by holding the symposium at the BC. Right?
Well, the Britts are no dummies to be so used. Why not say Legon or any other Conference Center?
Long Live Ghana!!!
Even the large and centuries old think tanks in the USA use rental places for most of their functions. You are just plain stupid! By the way any person worth his name would not write "think thank". It is "think tank", please.
order from flag staff house, "Don't allow them"
Though it is very unfortunate that BC refused DI's request, it appears from Mr Cudjoe's e-mail that he is naive. The west have only interests and they act to serve only their interests. In the PNDC days, the British wanted Ra ...

GABBY IS MAKING DANQUAH INSTUITUTE LOOKS LIKE ONE WAY POLTICAL INSTITUTE: UK DID NOT NEED ANY IDEAS FROM DANQUAH/UP/NPP INSTITUTE
You are right. The West knows best how this ultimate game of convenience is played. The British Council is aware of the real goal behind the DI's reason to organize the Symposium which is to torpedo the SC verdict on the e ...

Smart "think thanks" would have secured
and confirmed the BC hall before releasing the date of the so-called symposium.
And these naive folks want to be called "leaders"??
The Danquah lineage institute went fishing for sympathy instead, to put it bluntly, they got the push from the British Council. They are now hopping mad for being brushed-off by the British Council. The Brits know when Mate M ...

the BC have a policy and it must be respected. Comments made earlier by Gabby of DI on the subject makes it a political symposium. There are other auditoriums/ locations in Ghana. Let us be civil.

Now I know - A fibber
Such overplay of sensibilities and display of ineptitude by Executive Director of a think tank is what is more shameful, to put it mildly.
British council knows what a think tank is. Gabby's DI is not think tank. Think tanks do a lot of thinking and writing. Gabby does a lot of talking before thinking. Hence nothing in the TANK. GABBY'S DI IS A TALKING TANK.
DI is NPP using another name. C'mon you even share address.

This is understandable. DI is a political organisation. What think has it ever brought from its tank for the benefit of Mother Ghana.
If the British Council allowed Prof. Adu Boahen in 80's or 90's, do you think BC can give it DI in 2013? Dont forget time changes. Just llok for an alternative venue and stop insulting the BC.
I‘m dissapointed in Kudjoe- the IMANI boss. He did not express himself as a leader of a think thank should.

The British Council is too wise and intelligent for you to brain wash Cudjoe
