To err is human and accepting your faults and apologizing for it is a noble thing.
The bumbling buffoons who were just booted out would be spinning and resorting to senseless lies, noise, nonsense and propaganda in a useless attempt to defend the indefensible.

get rid of all these badluck corrupt your mind pepeni /ayigbe among you and you will make no mistakes.Plain and simple NDC is not a political party but the megaphone of a hegemony/tribalism treacherous insidious movement of Ewes Northerners and haters/traitors of the Akan. They wooed and deceived the left wing aspirations and heritage of the Akan people but installing a few naive genuine patriots or impeccable characters like Mills to front their true criminal genocide agenda. Any nation that allows murder of the leaders to go unpunished no matter the lying propaganda justification is doomed to failure and that is a fact of history , NDC has continuously found it necessary to murder all Akan leaders starting from Kotoka's wickedness, to Acheampong and now Mills. We Akans can not call these Ewes and Northerners brothers if their most intimate desires is our destruction stemming from deep pathological hate and is manifested in their style of govt which has always been very destructive and retrogressive , be it the buga buga rawlings or the family and friends corruption/looting of Mahama. We thank Akans of the left wing inclination for showing their support to remove this criminal mafia by not excising their right not to vote and therefore leaving the NDC high and dry.They know the Akans are half right wing and the other half left wing so their calculation election engineering required that they stick to the hegemony of the Ewes and fantical islamic discrimination mixed with tribalism of the northerners and they would win hands down every election, little did they know that the ideological left wing of the Fanti speaking people and the Brong Ahafo are far more sophisticated and can not be fooled by no one forever. Next year we will see and witness the true extent of the destruction and expose with real proofs the colonization by Ewes and Northerners of the wealth of the Akans . Justice should be enforced not these fake laws that have so many loop holes that true justice in the interest of the people is elusive. We witness how thew Mahama family now have control of all natural resources including reserves of Bauxite and iron ore so frustrated and sabotaged every effort at industrialization and construction of railway networks as they did not want the people to get wealthy by adding value and exporting . Its easier to manipulate ignorant illiterate impoverished people. They snear scoff and laugh as they know these and other impediments and obstacles will seriously slow down NPP's deep desire to secure a true development for our people , yes the battle goes on and the only way is to cut these pepeni/ayigbe out of our country so we gain new independence.

Everything he said yesterday was just empty and hollow. When did Ghanaians stop being Ghanaians. Funny when he said third world standard would not be settled for, yet he was part of a government that took the country to hipic.

Copyright laws allow people to use other person's work 70 years after their death without quoting them. These statements were first used by Woodrow Wilson who died over 70 years now. Bush used it in 2001 without crediting him, so it is not wrong for president NADAA to use same without acknowledging original author. By law it is not plagiarism.

I heard portions of the speech "lifted" from inaugural speeches delivered by ex-presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton with "Americans" recklessly changed to "Ghanaians". This is plagiarism and not quoting. No acknowledgment or even reference to the original authors would have made it an accepted literary practice. Has the NPP started the corruption from day 1 already? I would like to see the speech writer fired immediately before the presidency is mired into a quagmire.

You who call yourself Paa Joe (UK), you're apparently ignorant. You don't understand what plagiarism is. Plagiarism is not a question of the use of the English language. In this particular case, Akufo-Addo has plagiarised because he used the exact statements and ideas with the same words used by some American presidents in their inaugural addresses without giving credit to the authors concerned.
Eugene Arhin, Akufo Addo's Director of Communication, deliberately plagiarised parts of those former presidents' speeches thinking they would not be detected. And now that that has happened, he claims it's an oversight. How could that have been an oversight? According to him, he credited Busia, Danquah and Nkrumah all right, but he stupidly thought America is far away and whatever happened there was outside the reach of Ghanaians---in this electronic age!
At any rate, I'm not surprised. It's the NPP that's back in power, back with their high level of corruption. The very first official act by President Akufo-Addo and it's an act of corruption!!! It foreshadows the corruption Ghanaians should expect. They're just picking up from where they were left off. The Kufuor administration's track record of corruption is there for all Ghanaians to see.
And, of course, one should not forget Akufo-Addo's own corruption allegations. This very first act of plagiarising only reminds us of who he actually is. One must not forget that he claims to be a lawyer except that he has stubbornly failed to tell Ghanaians which law institution trained him as such, except to say that his law certificate is missing and how he was called to the Ghana Bar is still shrouded in mystery. He is unable, or he's refused to, mention the name of just one Ghanaian colleague of his with whom he went through the ceremony of being called to the Bar. He also claims he went to the Middle Temple in London, England. and was thus called to the United Kingdom Bar. The problem with that, though, is that to be admitted to that prestigious British legal institution, a candidate must have earned at the baccalaureate level at least a 2nd Class Upper Division. So, the question is, how did Akufo-Addo gain admission to that institution, since he obtained a mere 3rd Class Economics degree from the University of Ghana and was therefore unqualified to be called to the Bar in the U. K.?
Since Akufo-Addo has obstinately refused to answer this legitimate question, we will continue to raise it and similar ones until he answers us, for we Ghanaians have the right to know the true backgrounds of our elected officials, especially our presidents'. Unfortunately, it's only Kufuor and Akufo-Addo who have dubious backgrounds that they don't want the electorate to know. No one knows where Kufuour also trained as a lawyer.
For now, we must not be surprised about the way Akufo-Addo has started as President, plagiarising. Poor Ghana and poor gullible Ghanaians!

Seems your hatred for some NPP top men have no bounds. You will do your soul a lot of good translating from the wrong side of history.
Even Jesus Christ's resurrection is still doubted by many, obviously to those bound for hell because Bible says the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. Akufo Addo is an accomplished lawyer and you still how he got admission to Middle Temple? I never mean to be mean but let me ask Prof Allan Dershowitz question he asked Obama for stabbing Israel's back at the UN: Is it foolishness, malice or simply bad policy? and I will ask, or a combination of the three?
I will never condone plagiarism, such mistake at that level is serious and unacceptable. To give the flimsy excuse it was an oversight is unacceptable either, the need to be cautioned never to repeat that due to the obvious embarassment but to asset its reflective of someone's nature and indicative of what to come, I think is over the bar assessment.

I don't understand why pple r making a big deal out of the so called plagiarism. Do we hv to quote and unquote the verses in the Bible whenever we r sharing the word of God with others? yet it was written by some pple. Prez Bush might also hv lifted those lines from somewhere and included them in his speech. Besides, this is just a sinister ploy to undermine Nana's government. Plagiarism or not, let's support him so that he can fulfill all the promises he gave during the campaign trail and also during his inaugural address. Speeches without actions are meaningless just as a vision without action is a dream. Let's all support him with our prayers and the little we can do in our way(s), bcuz if he succeeds, Ghana ???????? succeeds and vice versa.
Na mongyae ntoatoa ne he plagiarized a portion of Prez Bush's speech, 3nti de3n? mtcheeeew.
Besides, Copyright laws allow people to use other person's work 70 year after their death without quoting them.
These statements were first used by Woodrow Wilson who died over 70 years now. Bush used it in 2001 without crediting him, so it is not wrong for president Nana Addo to use same without acknowledging original author. By law it is not plagiarism.

It would amount to an academic Summersault, for us as fellow Ghanaians ,to think of plagiarism without checking our facts right.hmmmmm.the question is who copied who: That phrase or sentence came from Christian Lindke and even before he published his book "Citizens, Not Spectators, A Democracy in Action Civic Education Curriculum for High School Students" which had that re-phrase sentence "...I ask you to be citizens: Citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character...", it was made known by Wilson Woodrow the 28th President of the US (1913 to 1921), in a book by By John Milton Cooper, Jr Who made it known in Biography of the American President, Published by Knopf Doubleday.
With this background details, I think its George Bush Jnr the 46th President of the US, who needed to be held for plagiarism when that what made. But, in a state of the nation address or speeches, the speech book contains some reference, which will have these names as a background quotes. But, not included in the main speech being delivered for time factor and other reasons. There is absolutely nothing wrong, When Obama uses phrases of Martin Luther King Jnr in state speeches and address.
Nana Addo used those phrases and short sentences because, it sends a message out there... that doesn't mean he copied a who speech, if he had, then we could sound the plagiarism alarm, when the reference is not made. And when there are other quotes and phrases from other authors, that is research not plagiarism.
Hasty and thirsty for faults, which aren't. I guess there were other quotes or phrases which were used. This is not plagiarism but a research. Get the full handouts and check the reference for the speech.

Copyright laws allow people to use other person's work 70 years after their death without quoting them. These statements were first used by Woodrow Wilson who died over 70 years now. Bush used it in 2001 without crediting him, so it is not wrong for president NADAA to use same without acknowledging original author. By law it is not plagiarism.

What are you talking about you stole American President speech and you are quoting Ghanaian law. babies with dumb brains.
This is what the DWARFISCO President has just done.
Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules.
This is how the stealing starts. If even you are stealing speeches what then amount money.

People never ceases to amaze me.The man said so many things that was inspiring, instead of concentrating on the positives they are however trying so hard to spoil the momentum. One, the speech was not an academic exercise. The object of the speech was to inspire. Two the very speech was first made more than 70 years ago. And what does the copy rights law says? People, we must shine our eyes and be prepared to work harder. Is this because Americans said Trump wife plagiarised Mrs Obama speech and Nigerians also said same to Buhari so Ghana must find something to trend? This time we are not going to follow and cheer on like we are in normal times. These times are not normal and we are going to treat it as such. We need serious minds not trivial minds, what the journalists think is embarrassing is not embarrassing to us. Because at this present time we the People need jobs, education, good roads, hospitals, and so many more. If you have lost a family member because of bad roads or doctors on strike then you will know that what you as a journalist is trying to trend is not what the nation at this point in time want to discuss.

There is no gov't in place for it to render an apology. What we have now is a president and a vice who have been sworn in. The rest of gov't personnel is yet to be set up. The apology of this so called plagiarism was made by yet to be confirmed press secretary. We all most of the time make speeches without referencing the original owners of portion of such speeches. What is the hullaballoo about this? Lets discuss the spirit of the great speech the president made. Finding early mistakes smacks of jealousy and that won't undue his presidency.

If it were Mahama would you have apologised for him? You would have torn him into pieces. Don't on your life ever refer to Osagyefo for plagiarising. He never did. His love for his country had his sentiments to bring out all that he wanted to say to his people naturally. How long will this gov't keep lying to the nation? This shows your incompetence & lack of interest in the real job. You think you can fool us? We Ghanaians are well awakened, all eyes opened and well informed so don't try any tricks on us. This proves that you're so arrogant that you look down to us. You don't respect us. Remember, we Ghanaians are not the same like some years ago. We are alert and watching you and one more thing, 'dare not take us for granted. '

What's worse than a whole President missing a page of his speech in an ECOWAS meeting because an Idiot took the speech to make copies , before the president deliver the speech , and Printing Uhuru Kenyata as the president of Ghana.

I'm in support of campaign to FIRE the speech writer/s who helped to SHAME ALL of us. If President Nana AA cannot act as our new leader by taking a strong action to signal warning to his minister's and staff (paid with tax payers money) he should resign as our President. He, Bawumia and his wife as well as others in the NPP called Mahama INCOMPETENT over and over and over again AS IF THAT WAS HIS NEW NAME. It simply meant NPP folks were telling Ghanaians that they are capable, well organized, and COMPETENT. In short, they are flawless or different than past Ghanaian leaders. Oya, Nana and NPP do make we see now. But the hypocrites did the OPPOSITE on Day # 1. What should we expect in 4 years? Same old same old lies as some of our politicians. For those who endorse mediocrity and set the bar so low, please do NOT complain again about the past Ghanaian government or about racism in US when you cannot complain about problems in your own country. You must be ASHAME of yourself for the hypocrisy and double standards. Ghanaians will NO LONGER accept such lies by our leaders. We shall keep their feet so close to the same fire they set for their opponents or enemies. If it was BAD for NDC, it should be BAD for NPP also. WRONG IS WRONG regardless of its color. Let's stop picking and choosing what is wrong, if in fact everyone is guilty of the same mistake because we are in one part or the other. That will NEVER help move Ghana forward. God save our motherland, but we have a responsibility as citizens to speak up.

Incompetence at its peak.
The beginning of incompetence
As a president elected if you can not be sincere about your true passion, aspirations and thoughts of the future of that country then am sorry.
You speech gives an insight on the general goals.
The incompetence has started the first day you took office ooo
Read the statement. First of all he only pointed to one quote and gave a lame apology. It was at least two quotes he plagiarized so don't try to deceive us. Also when you apologize unreservedly you don't insult Ghanaians by t ...

Great Speech, Nana.
Good Job, Fii
Eight years of insults have not prevented Nana from becoming President. Another eight years of insults will only make him a great president
say what you like but Nana is your president and will continue to be for 8 or years. So NDC try to cooperate or you leave the country. Remember the vote margin from the just ended election.
the guy must go
The COMPETENT people hv jst begun. Ayeeeeeko. Hahahahaha.
Ghanaians and foolishness. How will this so called plagiarism affect development?? The one who started this I really not a civilised human
Your thinking is myopic. Think far! It could be the tip of an iceberg. There is one thing saying you can do it and actually doing it.
If plagiarism doesn't affect development then how will corruption affect development.. Or plagiarism is not a corrupt act... I pity you and your likes... Because it is now against the npp there is nothing wrong with it... Let ...

This is a sign of total incompetency. Do you think to be a president is easy.You will soon see your real side.

So will that change the verdict and make JDM Prez? Ibi speeches we go chop? If it was JM he wouldn't have even located his speech.

Yes, the incompetency is beginning to raise its head, when it happened to mahama, they say he is working with incompetent staff. Bn in government is different ball altogether
Too early to insult nana incompetent
Hahaha
Plagiarism and cough syndrome. Nana Addo has started on a bad note. As3m b3ba dabi.
Okito: We accept the apology for the plagiarised portions of our President's speech.
To err is human, and as humans, we are bound to make certain bloopers in all facets of our lives.

Very délibérante. They were playing fast on ghanians. They taught all ghanians are fools. You can fool sôme people but not all. Why quote the ghanians and the bible, because that one will be easy to traces.
plagiarism means: the practice of taking someone else's or ideas and passing them off as one's own

Eugene you have proof you listen to advice.Never let this cover the good work. Yours is different from the pass where the former President speech was full of.mistakes during our 59th Independent celebration .
When in the year 2017 people still defacate in open drains, is this something we should even begin to waste our energy on, really?...
Really, have you so soon forgotten about the independence brochure. Had people stopped defecating in open drains when the government was being criticized. Remember the law of karma
Apology accepted
This arhin boy should not pretend his attention is drawn to this fact. From the very onset he knew that he was plagiarising.
The speech was actually done by Asante bediatuo
Arhin is just being made a scapegoat
