MAHAMA IS BARAWO BANZA
Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

There are many Asante NPP imbeciles who called themselves professors but have nothing in their brain. Was Nelson Mandela the only founder of ANC? Was Matma Ghandi or George Washington the only founders of India or USA? Take example Ursain Bolt in the Olympic Games. There were eight finalists but why did they say Bolt was the winner? If at all, if there should be any founder apart from Nkrumah, I would have added Gbedemah and Kojo Botsio. The remaining members of the big six were traitors and opportunists.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 60TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, AT THE INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, ON MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017

We are met here today to celebrate the 60th anniversary of our nation’s independence, to celebrate our freedom from the clutches of British imperialism, to celebrate the final achievement of the struggle of successive generations of Ghanaians patriots to establish a free, sovereign Ghana. We are grateful that on such a happy day, leaders of our neighbouring countries and friendly nations have joined us in our celebration. Akwaaba, Your Excellencies, to each one of you.

I thank the children from across the country for their excellent march. I thank the cultural troupes from across the country on their magnificent display, which has showcased the best of Ghanaian culture.

Our Armed Forces and security services are rightly celebrated across the region, the continent and the world for their professionalism and contribution to global peace and security. I thank the officers and the men and women of the Ghana Armed forces, the police service and the other security services for their display of order, pomp and ceremony. And I thank them all for their willingness to put their lives on the line to secure our domestic peace and tranquillity and the sanctity of our property.

I am happy to announce that on my way to these grounds, Independence Square, I stopped to perform a very important duty. I have this morning cut the sod for the commencement of the building of a national cathedral of interdenominational worship in our capital, Accra, which is supported by many of our leading figures of faith. It is meant to be a gesture of thanksgiving to the Almighty for the blessings he has showered and continues to shower on our nation.

Being independent means you have the freedom and ability to make informed decisions in life without having to ask other people for permission, help or money and you take full responsibility for seeing things through.

Our founders chose this day, March 6, as the date of our independence, in order to repudiate the Bond of 6th March 1844, which led to our land becoming a British colony.

Fifty-three years later, in 1897, a hundred and twenty years ago, a group of our forebears was moved to start a campaign against the terms of the colonial relationship between what was then the Gold Coast and the United Kingdom.

If the signing of the Bond of 1844 marks the formal start of the Gold Coast colony, then the formation of the Aborigines Rights Protection Society on 4th August, 1897, in Cape Coast, marks the start of the struggle for political independence. It is worth mentioning some of the names of the members of the Society because, unfortunately, we have not often acknowledged their role – John Mensah Sarbah, Joseph Casely Hayford, J.W. Sey, J.P Brown, and their colleagues, who mobilized the chiefs and people against the Crown Lands Bill and forced the colonial authorities to retreat. Sarbah began the tradition of the Ghanaian lawyer as a nationalist.

This was probably one of the most dramatic interventions in the colonial history of our country. One hundred and twenty years after that event, its significance might be lost on us. The very same objectives of the Crown Lands Bill were introduced at the same time and became law in countries like Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and other British colonies around Africa and changed the course of their history. The lands of the indigenous peoples were seized by the British Crown under that law, an event from which, a century later, they have still not recovered.

In what was then the Gold Coast, our lands remained ours because of the bravery of the members of the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, and we must pay homage to these patriots every day, especially on this 60th anniversary. Even though we established and secured, in 1897, the continuing and inalienable rights to our lands, we remained a colony and could not govern ourselves.

The next significant event in the struggle occurred on August 4, 1947, exactly fifty years later to the day of the formation of the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, when a group of nationalists gathered in Saltpond for the launch of the United Gold Coast Convention, the UGCC, the first political party in our country.

The founders of the UGCC, then, met to demand independence from the British and 70 years after that event, one still marvels at the clarity of thought and the passion that they displayed. Some of the names of that momentous day have survived in our written history and folk memory.

Five of them are on our Ghanaian currency: Joseph Boakye Danquah; Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey; William Ofori-Atta; Ebenezer Ako-Adjei; and Edward Akufo-Addo. Kwame Nkrumah, the sixth of the Big Six on the currency, was to join them later.

And there are others, equally important that we should not forget, and I pay homage to George Paa Grant, R.S. Blay, Cobinna Kesse, J.W. de Graft Johnson and Francis Awoonor Williams, amongst others.

The speech, the Ghanaian colossus, Danquah, made on that day, deserves to be quoted liberally on a day like this. He said: “Love of freedom from foreign control has always been in our blood. 870 years ago we struck against the attempt of the Arabs to impose a religious slavery upon us in Ghana. We left our homes in Ghana and came down here to build a new home. But there is one thing we brought with us from ancient Ghana. We brought with us our ancient freedom. Today the safety of that freedom is threatened. … We must fight against the new domination. And we must fight with the weapons of today, constitutional, determined, persistent, unflinching, unceasing, until the goal of freedom is attained.”

Danquah captured the mood of the time and set our country on the path to independence. 4th August is truly a sacred and seminal day in the annals of the Ghanaian people.

The unfolding of the story is well known.

The UGCC leaders decided they needed a full time person to run the party’s affairs; they sent for the dynamic Kwame Nkrumah, and he came to join them in December 1947. Soon thereafter, on 28th February, 1948, the notorious and senseless killings of three ex-servicemen, Sergeant Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe and Private Odartey Lamptey occurred, and sparked a nationwide revulsion against the colonial power, which, undoubtedly, quickened the pace of the independence movement. The Watson Commission followed, which mapped out the steps towards our eventual attainment of independence.

In 1949, on 12th June, Kwame Nkrumah broke away from the UGCC and formed his own party, the Convention People’s Party. Even as he broke away, Kwame Nkrumah remembered from whence he came and retained the word “convention” in the name of his new party, the CPP.

Eventually independence came and Ghana, under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, became the first sub-Saharan country to gain its freedom on March 6, 1957. Danquah had done the research and convinced himself and others that the bulk of the people that inhabit these lands migrated from the ancient kingdom of Ghana.

In 1957, we lowered the British flag and we jettisoned the name Gold Coast that had been given to us and took on the name, Ghana, the name of our ancestral home. The name Ghana was meant to give us a fresh start and mark the break from colonialism; and it was also meant to give us a sense of our historical roots and the assurance that we have a history, culture and civilisation that preceded colonialism.

We must remember, on a day like this, some others who are not listed among the forefront fighters for political freedom, but who fought equally hard for our cultural integrity and the identification of who we are as Ghanaians.

I pay homage to Ephraim Amu, Tata Amu as he was fondly called. He was the composer of what easily passes as our unofficial National Anthem, Yen Ara Asase Ne. Is there a Ghanaian among us today who can sing or hear that song, in whichever language, without being moved?

Ephraim Amu stood alone, most of the time, against what he saw as cultural domination. You did not have to wear a European-cut suit to be a scholar, you could wear a fugu, kente and above all, a locally woven fabric, and still be an educated person, he argued. He insisted you did not have to eat foreign foods because you were a scholar, and he insisted our music was as interesting and sophisticated as any around the world. Those were radical ideas for the time.

I pay homage to Philip Gbeho, the composer of our National Anthem, and to Theodosia Okoh, the designer of our national flag. I pay homage to Kofi Antubam, the artist who first put Ghanaian art on the map. I pay homage to Saka Acquaye, the poet, writer, sculptor and musician, who wrote the first African folklore, The Lost Fisherman. I pay tribute to J.A. Braimah, the Gonja scholar and statesman who wrote insightful publications about the Gonja people.

I pay homage to Apaloo, the poet who immortalised the philosophy and music of the Ewe language. I pay homage to E.T. Mensah, King Bruce, Jerry Hansen and the others who popularised highlife, which has become an enduring identity of Ghanaian music. I pay tribute to the great musicologist, J.H. Nketia, who is the great authority on African music.

I pay homage to Otumfuo Prempeh I, who waged a heroic, even if unsuccessful, battle against the British and retained his dignity even in exile. I pay homage to Yaa Asantewa, that woman of valour, who led the Ashanti resistance to British imperialism. I pay homage to Nana Ofori-Atta I, who saw the wisdom in investing in the education of the young.

I pay homage to Professor Alexander Adum Kwapong, the first Ghanaian Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, who became an icon in the development of our educational system.

I pay homage to Oko Ampofo, sculptor and physician, who encouraged confidence in our traditional arts and medicine. It is thanks to him that herbal medicine became a respectable subject of study and research in our country.

I pay homage to Dede Ashikisham and Akua Shorshorshor, famous market queens, who financed Kwame Nkrumah and the nationalist movement from their successful businesses.

They and many others, like them, contributed to the fight for independence and in moulding the Ghanaian that emerged on March 6, 1957. The world shared our excitement and wished us well.

Our first President, Kwame Nkrumah, delivered his famous speech that midnight of March 5, 1957, a few hundred yards from here at the Old Polo grounds. He said we were free forever, and there cannot be a sweeter or more reassuring sound or set of words than those to a people emerging from oppression. He said our independence would prove that the black man or woman was capable of managing his or her own affairs.

And then he said what has probably been the most quoted part of that speech. He said “the independence of Ghana was meaningless unless it was linked with the total liberation of the whole continent of Africa”. In those words, Kwame Nkrumah sealed the fate of Ghana to the continent. He bequeathed to us Ghana’s pan African vocation and its commitment to the unity and integration of Africa. We are grateful for his leadership and that of his colleagues, Komla Agbeli Gbedema, the organisational genius of the Convention People’s Party, Kojo Botsio, its theoretician, and the others who occupy prides of place in the history of the nationalist movement.

We are equally grateful for those in the Opposition at independence, who, at great personal cost and in defiance of the infamous Preventive Detention Act of 1958, were determined to hold aloft the banner of freedom, and who insisted that the multiparty democratic state was the best form of governance for our nation. I refer to Joseph Boakye Danquah, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey (Liberty Lamptey), Simon Diedong Dombo, Kofi Abrefa Busia, Baffuor Osei Akoto, Victor Owusu, R.R Amponsah, Joe Appiah, S.G. Antor, Modesto Akpaloo, Ashie Nikoi, Attoh Okine and others. Our generation of Ghanaians have vindicated their stance. On 7th December, 2016, the Ghanaian people exercised their sovereign franchise, in a dignified and serene manner, to remove an incumbent and elect a new government, and, thus, demonstrated again their deep attachment to democratic values and governance.

The difficult times our country went through after independence were to be replicated across the continent: dalliances with a one-party state, military interventions, political theory experimentations and instability; and, the collapse of economies and with it, lives.

Finally, in Ghana, a consensus emerged with the coming into being of the Fourth Republic. We have agreed on a multi-party constitutional democracy and a guarantee of individual freedoms under the rule of law. These past 24 years have been the longest period of political stability our country has enjoyed since independence, and the effects are showing, albeit slowly.

The pace of our development has quickened and our self-confidence, which had been severely strained, has returned. At independence, the popular slogan was to seek first the political kingdom and all other things would be added. We assumed and, indeed, we expected that rapid economic development would follow the political freedom that we achieved.

Sadly, the economic dividend that was meant to accompany our freedom has still not materialised. Sixty years after those heady days, too many of our people continue to wallow in unacceptable poverty.

After sixty years, we have run out of excuses and it is time to set Ghana to rights and get our country to where it should be. The challenge before us is to build our economy and generate a prosperous, progressive and dignified life for the mass of our people. Hard work, enterprise, creativity and a consistent fight against corruption in public life would bring the transformation we seek.

We will achieve these goals when we move and act as a united people. We must take pride in our diversity by all means, but the Ghanaian must always rise above the ethnic or sectional interest. We have a bright future and we must mobilize all our resources and all our strengths, here and in the Ghanaian Diaspora, to get to that Promised Land faster.

It is turning out to be a constant refrain, but, on a day like this, we cannot ignore the state of our environment. We are endangering the very survival of the beautiful and blessed land that our forebears bequeathed to us. The dense forests, that were home to varied trees, plants and fauna, have largely disappeared. Today, we import timber for our use, and the description of our land as a tropical forest no longer fits the reality. Our rivers and lakes are disappearing, and those that still exist are all polluted.

It bears repeating that we do not own the land, but hold it in trust for generations yet unborn. We have a right to exploit the bounties of the earth and extract the minerals and even redirect the path of the rivers, but we do not have the right to denude the land of the plants and fauna nor poison the rivers and lakes.

There is nothing we can do better to pay homage to those who fought to free us from bondage than to dedicate this 60thindependence anniversary to protecting our environment and regenerating the lands and water bodies.

I have confidence that we can and will achieve the dreams of our forebears. I am hopeful that we will continue to make ourselves worthy inheritors of this land. I know that we will wear the accolade of being a Ghanaian with pride. Let us mobilize for the happy and prosperous Ghana of tomorrow, in which all of us, including our youth, our women and the vulnerable in our society, will have equal opportunities to realise their potential, and build lives of dignity. Then, our independence will be meaningful. Then, we will have a Ghana beyond aid.

Two months ago at my inauguration on these grounds, I urged that we renew the sacred compact that comes with being able to call yourself a citizen. I am proud that I am able to say without equivocation, I am a Ghanaian citizen.

I wish you all a happy Diamond Jubilee anniversary and God’s blessings.

May the Almighty bless our homeland Ghana and make her great and strong.

Mr. Lecturer, Nkrumah quickly and wisely realized that the same people who brought him in as a firebrand, to help gain independence for Ghana only wanted to use him for their personal interests, he had the balls to take the bull by the horn to go the extra mile to get OUR INDEPENDENCE for us.

Those same people were pussyfooting around.....so he Nkrumah went ahead and gained independence for our dear nation. He was a real politician operating amongst a bunch of lawyers who we were in it for personal gains.

That's why, when we got our independence they were all fighting for, these same bunch of lawyers went back to see the queen of England to claim we were not ready for independence........so, please ask yourself, why initiate it, in the first place.

Some of these lawyers were benefiting from their slave masters...by sitting on the fence.
So, please stop distorting history and come up with the real facts.

GOD BLESS GHANA!

Please Mr lecturer Nkrumah did more for the attainment of independence then the rest of the group that invited him in. Please remember the slogan "independence now" propounded by Nkrumah and the other one "independece progressively or slowly" propounded by the UGCC. Eventually Nkrumah's slogan won independence for Ghana. So who then was the winner or founder.

The enemies of Dr Kwame Nkrumah are cursing him even in his tomb. He was very dynamic, ambitious and a leader of full vision. He was well known across the whole world because of the great job he did. You plotted against him and killed him but his ideas always remain intact. Akuffo Addo's father became a President but ask yourself if the rest of the world knows him. Busia was real criminal and tribalist leader nobody wants to talk about it, shame onto the enemies Dr. Nkrumah. Unless the Almighty destroys the planet the name Nkrumah will always shine.

Nkrumah did JB and co a 419!
Nkrumah was a dictator and a killer. He killed the very people who invited and paid his return to the country and furnished him with all the necessary things he needed, including a car, to do his secretarial work. He left them to form his party after becoming popular as a result of his position as a secretary which took him to all the districts! He imprisoned and killed most of them after gaining power as their reward!

Pity an intellectual of that calibre engages in revisionism of our history.

Nkrumah is Ghana's founder simply because it was his vision of the post-independence unitary nation-state that ordinary people consistently endorsed - by voting massively for the Convention People's Party (CPP) in the 1952, 1954 and 1956 elections.

The quislings who worked in cahoots with the British occupiers of our country, wanted the post-independence state to be a federation of the pre-colonial tribal entities in which the right to vote would be restricted to property owners and those earning wages only.

Naturally, the ordinary people of the Gold Coast, who were no fools despite not being "scholars" saw through it as a trick to enable the progeny of the pre-colonial ruling elites to dominate the new nation to replace the colonial regime. They rejected that future which was no future for them.

Danquah was a hypocrite and a rabid tribal-supremacist, who whiles constantly writing about the benefits of democracy and talking endlessly of freedom, terrorised non-Akyems in the Akyem Abuakwa traditional area, and tried to force them to leave Akyem lands by all kinds of ruses - such as threatening to deal with Akyems who rented out their shops to Kwahus to trade from.

Above all, the so-called Big Six, were in reality 5 lackeys of the British occupiers of our country, who when arrested for the riots after the declaration of Positive Action, denounced Nkrumah to the authorities aftervtheir release from prison, and sought to have him labelled a communist and eliminated from Gold Coast politics that way - even going to the extent of rifling through his personal documents in his office for evidence to back their false claims against Nkrumah.

No matter how hard such revisionists try to belittle Nkrumah's pivotal role in freeing our country from the colonialists who occupied it, history will never allow them to succeed in their aim - because their political forebears were on the wrong side of history.

Above all, Danquah was a paid agent of Western intelligence agencies - and history never accepts such traitors as African heroes.

To be fair to him, Danquah was undoubtedly a scholar of some note and was clearly a fine intellect - and no one one can take that away from him. But so too was Nkrumah. So there!

When Kwame Nkrumah was demanding "independence now", the so-called "co-founders" were talking about "independence in the shortest possible time". Is that how you demand your independence? In the shortest possible time??

In fact, J.B. Danquah and others entreated the British not to grant us independence because we were not ready. How can they now claim credit?

The time table to independence was set by Kwame Nkrumah. He wanted "independence now" and he got it. So, he gets the credit for our independence.

Asantes only fought to gain access to the lucrative trade with the British. Asantes hate the FANTE middlemen.
Asante chiefs including Osei Tutu were SLAVE TRADERS. They were thinking about themselves-NOT anybody else.

Why so stupid to talk like you have tribal complex? Did you not listen to what Akuffo Addo said about the GAS with the names mentioned? How come our independence largely fought by Akyems and Fantes? To start with just know that the first doctor in Ghana was Ga called doctor Quartey Papafio.

Further, how come the brave and fearless men who faced the British governor at the Osu castle happened to be two Gas, namely Sergeant Adjetey and Private Odartey Lamptey while the third person was Corporal Attivor an Ewe. Furthermore how come among the BIG SIX were two Gas again called Obetsebi Lamptey and Ako-Adjei.

Another interesting point as mentioned by Akuffo Addo were two women who supported Nkrumah with all that they had to make Nkrumah succeed with his party CPP issues to win the fight of our independence. These women were Gas namely Dedei Ashikinsan and Akua Shorshoshor.

The were certain names that the president mentioned who were Gas too.
They were Ashie Niikwei and Attoh Okine. These were people who were in limelight and struggled together with Busia, Danquah, Akuffo Addo and also few Ashantis like Baffour Akoto and Joe Appiah just to mention few.

In reality the very people who could have been given the greatest honour in relation to the independence should have been the three fearless people who protested and were shot by the then British in cold blood on 24-2-1948 and that initiated A LOOTING organised by the OSU ALATA MANTSE which forced the British to realise the reality of the need for independence.

Ask youreslf who have made this great efforts of the bravity of the 3 killed by the British known to Ghanaians? Is it because they were not TWI speaknig people or their tribe people never forced to put it in history records?

Or once again it was because TWO GAS and ONE EWE. Akuffo Addo who was born in Accra, and he is GA BY BIRTH and intelligently married a Ga woman is the only one who could say the truth. The rest of you are all bunch of tribal bigots full of stupidity and foolishness.

Congratulations to our President H.E NANA ADDO DANKWAH for figuring out the real history before , during and after the pioneering forces of our country's independence. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is not and can never be the sole power plug for our independence on 6th March, 1957. We all attest to the fact, he has been a core call for that success but not even the originator of the course. Let's read more about Ghana's past and we will grace and praise our forefathers.

Yes! another Twi speaking Akan is in the move. This time a so called Dr. who cannot weigh the pros-and-cons of issues and rather dwells on tribal sentiments to judge issues. lets put your title away and talk. i have some questions for you Mr. Lecturer,
1. What did the UGCC do concretively or proactively towards the independence of Ghana besides the taking of Pounds to slow the process down while the raw materials were being exported as fast as possible to UK?
2. What development did the British do in Ghana besides the looting?
3. How many offices of the UGCC existed before the coming of Dr. Nkrumah. He was the one who established the youth wing and made the UGCC a vibrant party.
No wonder JB Dankwah's name was on the CIA payroll.
CPP family is disintegrated, and NDC did not perform well and that has pave a way for NPP so Mr Lecturer be wise and celebrate Dr. Nkrumah. we can use him to acquire money towards the development of Ghana: not to destroy him because of Ethnicity.
After all Manhyia palace shouldn't have been a place for discussing the demolishing of Dr. Nkrumah to entool Dr. Busia. "s3 w'annya biribi amma w'ase a wo mmo no krono"
Ghanaians let us be wise because it wasn't the votes of NPPs alone that won the elections for NPP: CPP people also voted for Nana Addo. Therefore i am begging this Uncivilized Lecturer to keep his bucal cavity shut for NPP to win continuously.

Osei Bonsu, you can cry baby cry, Kwame Nkrumah took us across the finish line to gain the independence. You can never change history. The important thing is the children of today need jobs and not who founded Ghana. Cry all you can, its not debateable. Kwame was the man; you can resort to UPism or plotical masketeering, he is the founder of Ghana. We don't care what you do with his legacy. Cteating jobs, making food abundant and cheap energy is what we need. If you wish to change the name of Ghana to Oseikrom nobody cares. Nkrumah was not corrupt, he did not even own a house in his name nor did he even attempt to steal any state estates for himself. Give credit where is due, Bonsu. Any Ghanaian leader who attempted to demoanized and discredit Nkrumak failed miserably. See what became of Mahama attempting equate himself to Kwame Nkrumah, well we all know now that he shamelessly accepted bribe to awsrd contracts to Kunuzoe. Leave Nkrumah alone with your socalled matimeho. Leave the man to rest. Nkrumah is been gone well over 50 years and Ghana is still alive. Think of making Ghana better than Nkrumah left us behind. Ghana today has no room for bulkanization; no time to waste. The people of this country need jobs more than anything else. Hands off Nkrumah. If you so wish to call Ghana Osei Bonsu or whatever, who cares as long as you can stop the galamesey, treat the water bodies and creat a healthy living enviroment, good Osei. You folks not fed up with who came from where like nahama was telling Ghanaians then that he is a northerner? So what? People need jobs not historonics, Ghana manba. Shawn any person who threatens our existence as one group with diversed background but united in a common good. Shawn the dividers and resist them no matter where that person comes from. We are a united Ghana. Maybe Osei Bonsu, change Ghana to a United Republic of Ghaba, how about that?

Dear lecturer, Where is your common sense please? Of course Kwame Nkrumah did not achieve our independence single handed, but he was the one the contributed the most, fought the hardest for independence at odds with at odds with few of so called Big Six. He gave the British Colonial Masters most of the trouble than anybody else, that was why they put him in jail to silence him but by then he converted the majority of our people to vote for him and for his CPP party to achieve independence. So it was, nobody including Dr Kwame Nkrumah himself would be stupid enough to claim that he achieved our independence single handed, but he is the most recognised the world over and he was most consitent and therefore the most credible and most creditable or credit and note worthy of all Ghanaians without a shadow of any doubt. How come you went to school and could not develop more wisdom than what you have exihibitted? It is very unfortunate you claim to be a lecturer, no matter how modest your employing school or college, we would expect a lecturer to be far more educated and more sensible at least if not wise!!

If Kwame Nkrumah gets acknowledged for what he did and fought for, what would he gain now? It is NOT for his benefit, the poor man is dead and buried, it would be for our own advantage as his name shines like Star that he was all the world. So it is in Ghana's interest NOT in his dead interest. Ok Mr Educated Lecturer?

No wonder, we have many useless graduates with useless certificates if we get lectureres or teachers like you who lack any wisdom or any sesnse!!
