Look why are you in Ghana when you hate Ashanti/Akan? You are an idiot, you are a fool, you smell like a dead fish. Find something to clean your rotten teeth and stinky ampit mmoa like you. You will die of BP for your hate for the Ashantis and may you never reach any destination to any Akan town or village. Nkwaseafuo, mmoa mu mmoa, you've been given 8years to rule a country and all you could was to steal, hate, envy and destroy businesses. Onyame betua moka. You will never succeed in anything that you do mmoa.

The crux of the matter was wether the supreme courts ruling was retrospective or not? And Even so retrospective to when? Their first ruling on the issue? Thirdly can they say the EC was not constitutionally right to register Ghanaians that a C.I. empowered them to do so? It was understable that the highest court did not want to be seen as being ineffective since it had ruled on same matter in the past and must maintain its stand however the sequel of one of them informed that the countrol of some Government Institutions duties is by the Constitution and not by them the supreme Court. In any case the the matter was frivolous!

Fools will never understand a wise decision, that is why we need to kick these fools at the helms of affairs from office for our country to move forward. These people have birdbrains so understand nothing, how can somebody who can't take care of himself take care of a whole nation are we for real? NDC is fool of idiots and you can't build a nation with idiots in government. We are many than them and we shall not allow Alata Charlotte Osei to have her way, she can never impose John mahama on Ghanaians, he is a rotten yam and ndc has expired , ndc is not attractive only fools follow that party even Rawlings has stepped aside.

When is our society going to civilised enough to tolerate an expression of a judgement by the supreme court.All that the judge is saying is that one cannot vote with NHIC. However if those affected are really Ghanains they can apply for voters ID and vote. The truth is that most of these people complaining about this decision are not Ghanains.

Justice Dotse has earned my utmost respect as a jurist who is faithful to the ethical canons which govern the judiciary. He has sua sponte (on his own election) recused himself from the election case to foreclose any appearance of partiality or predetermination of his stance on the case based on the raucous following his comments on the meaning of the court's ruling on the case. It evidences his respect for the noble institution he is a member of his and his unwillingness to bring that institution and its rulings in disrepute.
What a refreshing difference !

Compare his actions to Atuguba. This corrupt and egotistical buffoon went berserk when his impartiality was questioned because his nephew worked as a Special Assistant to Mahama. He refused to take himself of the case when any well meaning and ethical judge would have because of the appearance of impropriety that his relationship with his nephew would create. Not to mention, he maintained ex parte communication with his nephew during the entire trial.
This singular dereliction in my estimation brought a cloud on the court's decision as many would assume Mahama already had one vote in the bag before the proceedings even commenced.
And yet still he is still on the court and had the audacity to talk about ethics to a group of lawyers recently. He should hang his head in shame for bringing shame and dishonor to the august institution. He is everything that Dotse is not: unprincipled, dishonest, Unethical, a thief, a gangsta, a moron, an intellectual imbecile and coward for running away to Dallas after he read the verdict to avoid any potential personal consequences of his unethical conduct. Shame on you Atuguba. No wonder you are named after a dog!
