  WHY R YOU FUMING OVER SMTHING YOU CANT CONTROL? NO ONE CAN CONTROL WAT GETS PUT ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY. U NEEDTO FIND USES FOR THIS N STOP HAMPERING ON THE NEGATIVES. THIS IS WAT EVERYONE IS DOING.....U THINK WHITE FOLKS EVEN LIKE THE EASY ACCESS OF INFORMATION ONLINE? HELL NO! ANY REGULAR JOE BLOW CAN ACCESS ANY TYPE OF INFO ON THENET. OUR RELIANCE ONLAWYERS, DOCTORS, MIDDLEMEN, BUSIUNESSSES ETC IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW BECOS THE NET. PERHAPS, IN THE FURTURE. COUNTRIES MAY BE ABLE TO CENSOR/BLOCK THEIR CITIZENS FROM ACCESING CERTAIN WEBPAGES. UNTIL THEN, USE THISMEDIUM TO UR ADVANTAGE.....
  
  
  Mr Paul Victor Obeng, has made a strong case for the need to ensure that increasing access to the Internet does not lead to the importation of alien cultures.
  “While increasing access to the Internet would improve the socio-economic circumstances, its negative influences call for a concerted effort to counter the bad influence.
  Increasing access should not lead us to the importation of attitudes that are incompatible with our social norms,” he said.
  WAT IS PV'S PROBLEM? WESTERN NATIONS LIKE CANADA, AMERICA, BRITAIN, GERMANY ETC ALL HAVE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY READILY AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CITIZENS. HAS IT IMPACTED THEIR CULTURE NEGATIVELY?
  EVEN BEFORE INTERNET, WE WERE SELLING/THROWING AWAY OUR CULTURE. WAT HAPPENS AT INDEPENDENCE MARCHES IN GH, 6 MARCH. DO WE EVEN POUR LIBATION ANYMORE?
  WE PUT OUR KIDS IN THE BURNING SUN TO BLACKEN N FAINT. KIDS WE CANT EVEN GIVE FREE BASIC EDUCATION TO. WHILES, WE WALLOW IN THE ABJECTIVITY OF THE BIBLE N KORAN....
  FYI: THE BIBLE/KORAN AT ONE POINT IN TIME. CAME TO BE REGARDED AS "TECHNOLOGY" TO HELP SHAPE THE MINDS AND ATTITUDES OF PPL. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY NEWSPAPERS, RADIO, TV AND NOW THE INTERNET. GH, KETCHUP!

  Nonsense. I have been complaining about how you and your ministers are abusing the social media but just like the problems in the country, the fault lies somewhere and not at your doors.
  
  You and Hannah Tetteh wake up in the morning and your focus is to get on Twitter to put a message there. Idiots, exemplary leaders like Obama and others put their POLICIES, PLANS and PROGRAMS that are already in the public domain or a speech that had been given before on Twitter. They don't rise up in the morning thinking of what to tweet or be on facebook all the day exchanging with 'strangers'
  
  And where did you find a President of Nation using whatsapp with his ministers and friends during working hours? Did Ayariga not complain about you using whatsapp with your ministers but refusing to respond his messages.
  
  Like I had said here before, I am not ready to call you a baboon, yet.

  Akan's cultured behaviour and respect for elders have long before reflected our civiliced soceity all along untill the pepeni jumped into the picture to reverse this civiliced soceity and its social medial advancement into abusive medial. Akan chiefs don't need this message because they have it always as a duty to serve the tradition. It is pepeni and ewe nations which this must be addressed to if, they do have any proper chiefs at all. The president "ubsolutely unacceptaple" promulgation have much only to do with his "pepeni born ayigbe's" menace. That menace is ebola decease per say.

  As government in power, let the security agents contact the telcos and trace the originators of such nation-wrecking people rather than join the masses in lamentations. We have enough of lamentations in the Bible.

  So Mr President, having discovered that a modern social medium of information has been utilised to spread panic in your country, your best method of attacking the problem is to appeal to feudal chiefs?
  
  You are truly pathetic. What about using some of the huge sums of money you are paying American propagandists to trace the source of the alarmist news and prosecuting whoever is behind it, huh? You can't do that, can you? Because a lot of that money has already disappeared in kickbacks, hasn't it? You think Americans can keep a secret? Wait" Maybe you have conveniently forgotten the "Sleeping with Ghana's President" incident in the New York Times? You think a real "friend" would associate a serving head of state with male-to-male "sleeping together", even if the term it was only used as a figurative headline?
