  Who asked Dr Danaa to take sides in a chieftaincy dispute by solely declaring the chieftaincy status of the Americans illegal. Who sent the National Security Officials to go and harass the Americans. We all know the National Security Zombis like operating under the cover of darkness( you remember the Legon Toll Booth Saga) and their hatred for dogs is unimaginable( you remember NS official threatened to shoot and kill the dogs of the software designer of UG students' election). So if the dogs of the two American citizens were killed prior to their gruesome murder you can now see those behind the killing.
  Dr Danaa cannot throw dust into our eyes. If others have thrown dust into his eyes, that is his own cup of tea.

  Ghana has a shortage of people who put the country ahead of politics. Dr Nduom, have you thought of opening up an ideological institute to pump sense into our "educated illiterates"? Most of them have PhDs unfortunately!

  Why do you call insulting the President a disagreement. You have to be wholly truthful or remain a typical lying Ghanaian politician. You are surreptitiously denigrating the Presidency.

  This man is the right man for Ghana but.......how shallow and myopic we as a people are, refusing to recognize good people because they are not from our village or our tradition etc etc. Ghana loses if Paa Kwesi is ignored!!No one talks and acts quite as genuine as this man! By the way I am not a tribalist. I would never vote for you, even if you are my brother but do not have the Paa Kwesi nature!

  Full of wisdom and patroitism. This man has to be president in Ghana. I wonder why some people cannot accept the fact that we are living in a society and that all our views cannot be same. Particularly with the communicators of the ruling party. They should accept realities and so people can have confidence in them.

  Start civic education from early childhood. Others will call it brainwashing but it is very important to start very early. Ghanaians should learn to tolerate differences and stop insulting. Tribalism and politicization of every aspect of life must stop. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to insult or instigate.
  The church should also play their parts. Ghana has so many Christians and churches but members are dishonest and divisiveness in their lives. There is need for change.

  Thank you Kwaku Amexo. The elderly in our society have so far failed us. They owe it as a duty to set good examples for us to follow else we are doomed.

  Why do you sight only people disagreeing with the president as the only example. To be fair and taken seriously you should have gone the whole distance by condemning all manner of intolerance such as has torn your former party the CPP apart and what has claimed a life in NPP.

  Self respect is alien to the black mindset; the white establishment knows and capitalizes on this very heavily. The way I see it, if you have self-respect, you are more likely to respect divergent views in others. Because you see your own weakness in other blacks, your first reaction is to distrust and disrespect them. Only the very strong embrace diversity and respect for others mainly because they respect themselves first. If I respect myself, I will respect others since we all belong to the vast human gene pool that is humanity and I am no different from them. Other races recognize this fact and this makes them stronger than blacks in general. If our leaders were to recognize this, they will begin to alter perceptions and lead to a more integrated society. Blacks everywhere are discriminated against just for being black, and Ghanaians discriminate against other Ghanaians because they look too much like themselves and they wish it wasn't so. They have to justify their difference and their superiority from others. Hearken back to the days of Kwame Nkrumah, but do it in a way that avoids the kind of situation that Maurice Bishop of Granada found himself in, and that will soon be the fate of Ethiopia because they dared to change their society for the better.
  Heed my words and plan accordingly.
