True talk...these people are so bitter about losing that they have lost any sense of reasoning. Talking about that will solve what problem? Clearly you can see the President is more focused about making Ghana great again. The govt at least had the decency to apologize.

What a disgrace! A president after disgracing Ghana on a platform recorded by the whole world, he go to a church with his vice who we thought was a muslem to make fun of it. How serious is this man? The world now knows students in Ghana are plagiarism experts since their presidentdoes it with pride. Without knowing it is wise to apologize to Ghanaians and the world himself. The reverend wil also not tell him it is bad to steal people's intellectual property.

So the big deal is that Akufo Addo and his Government is dishonest and incompetent. So the world see him as such and world will deal with him with that at the back of their minds. They cannot trust him and we as Ghanaians feel the same. His Government has started telling lies. Plagiarism is something easy to detect this days because of plagiarism softwares leading to even professors being disgraced and loosing their status for works they plagiarized decades ago. So what is the big deal? The big is that if Akufo Addo and his NPP Government could engage in plagiarism knowing very well they would be caught, it represents lack of good judgement and if they thought no one would know, then it means Nana Addo and his appointees are backward with 19th century thinking and therfore unfit for 21st century governance. Let no one down play the issues of plagiarism for the act potrays dishonesty, stealing mentality, inability to think, like of originality, or simply lack of regard and respect for other people's work. So what is the big deal?. It is a big disgrace and embarrasshment. There is nothing wrong with using other people's work but just acknowledge them. So what was the big deal in not acknowleding the sources? Incompetence? Propendity for stealing? I dont care attitude? Trying to show off? Trying to Lie to Ghanaians that they know "big" english? what ever the reason Nana Addo must accept responsibility and apologize to the speech owners.

Cool or whatever you call yourself, you don't know what humiliation is, huh? Humiliation to Ghana is when our president approves a Fence Wall in Burkina Faso that cost ( $650,000) and in return gets a Ford Suv as a Kickback from a Foreign Citizen Contractor. Do you realize the damage on the Image of our Country (Ghana)? Retards like you will never understand the damage done to our Presidency and the Commander in Chief status. Trust me, this is one of the paramount reasons the majority of reasonable Ghanaians decided to kick corrupt Mahama and the NDC out of power. Know this, Pliagiarism doesn't affect Ghanaians' pocket but, CORRUPTION does!!

Read the laws governing plagiarism. You may quote any author without giving credit to the author if the author died 70 or more years ago. Very simple. The quote from Woodrow Wilson is creating so much unnecessary uproar amongst the defeated party fanatics. Woodrow Wilson died over 90 years ago. CONCLUSION : THAT IS NOT PLAGIARISM.
Morrover, the president has said it was an oversight. Even, if it was an oversight, that does not make it a plagiarized material because Wilson died over 90 yrs ago. If l say that l made a mistake but the "law" says that it is not a mistake, does that make me guilty? Do we go by the law or what l said? Let us all reason together and stop this unnecessary side tracking in our political discourse.

The right place to purge himself of that dishonest show should at best be the Parliament house. The differences between these two parties (NDC and NPP) are that of VINDICTIVENESS - NPP and MAGNANIMITY- NDC. These attributes always work in favour NPP and goes against NDC.

NPP goones have been organizing protests to AIMED at putting NDC leaders - from Rawlings down to Mahama whenever they travel outside the country's boundaries. These protests are usually meant to earn them International Disgrace.

Though NDC has always refused to pay NPP in their own coins by retaliating, Nana Akuffo-Addo has organized a huge self-inflicted derogatory ITERNATIONA PROTEST against himself PLAGIARIZING other WORLD leAnders inaugural speeches, which was beamed around the whole WORLD. And this is how the LAW OF CARMA works.

This singular act will follow Nana Addo whenever and whenever he goes no mater how hard he explains himself away, unless and until he EXPUNGED the speech from the Hanzard of Parliament.

End of the brouhaha! Ghanaians care more about how the public purse is managed, where their next meal is going to come from, rather than the words of a president said over and over again. Those words , it has come to light did not even come from George Bush.Apparently he also quoted Woodrow Wilson .It raised no eyebrows then, even in America.Ghana is about less the size of California.Our economy parries that of Puerto Rico...... Moribund economy.
The economy is what he's come to fix!

where is this conscience of I want to protect the public purse when this liar and k4 are at the helms of affairs? like mahama once said,Ghanaians have a short memory and it clearly attest to this. we need lies and deceptions. NDC must go to their scientific laboratory to come out of a big and a much more deceptive message to win the hearts of this vulnerable Ghanaians.

He's a thief and should be ashamed of himself instead of laughing it off be apologetic and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. I hate it when npp try to draw parallels with "incompetent ndc" when apparently they know better and are more capable in manning our country. He's dishonest for not honouring the agreement he reached with mahama about the house as well. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing and should be watched

Three speeches were plagiarised. These were by Clinton, Bush and Buhari. If that of Bush was 70 years, what about the remaining two? Even there is another video clip about the concession speech at the Election petition being also plagiarised from a concession speech of Al Gore, in the US
in 2000. From all indications Nana Addo is a renowned speaker who can do a good job at writing his own speeches or paraphrasing others with no need to attribute . But when he gives the task to a paid writer to
the task to a paid writer
he should have the time to go through it to avoid the embarrassment he subjected himself to. He should therefore do the honourable thing and apologize. The decision is his, as no one can force him as he can also not force Ghanaians to stop talking about it no matter how he jokes with it.

please whose tests was plagiarized by the President, do they went to the law court to suit our president for plagiarized their test. why are people so hypocrite as if they don't have anything to do again than discussing the President speech delivered on the 7th Jan., 2017. The President does not violated the rules of plagiarism as he did not copy more than anybody test from beginning to the end as his speech delivered.

" I am sorry". The shortest sentence that rectifies many problems and yet is the most difficult for people to say. How come?

It is a joke to most Ghanaians but if live in a part of the world where the speeches are juxtaposed on radio day in day out, the presenters chuckling and making sly remarks about his background as a human rights lawyer, even going to the extent of describing the President as wearing a dress with one shoulder exposed, you will see how disconcerting it is to be a Ghanaian.

Why is the NDC taking things seriously on the wrong side. They should sit and think of how to come to power and not on matters that are not prudent.
