Where in Ghana did your Rev. Haas planted his cocoa that you talked about? History without enough evidence, Tantamount to fallacy so please give us facts on where he planted his cocoa. Why Ghana profs are like this? Trying to tarnish had work of someone.

The two quotes are essentially the same. James Aggrey may have stated family. But the family is the smallest unit of a nation. Family by family, we form a nation.

Problem is a quote is a quote. You either quote the same words or any other words become your personal understanding of the quote.

Please Madam don't distort our long standing History. Where were you when it was written and which professors thought you before you became whom you are? Please let Ghanaians think.

WE ARE ILLITERATES AS GHANAIANS BECAUSE WE DON'T READ! WE ALWAYS WANT TO DEPEND ON WHAT WE HAVE HEARD BUT NOT WHAT WE STRIVE TO FIND. BLOCK HEADS, THE WOMAN IS A PROFESSOR IN HISTORY AND HER WORK IS TO RESEARCH. YOU SEE WHY KWAKU BAAKO IS DIFFICULT TO BEAT........HE DOES ENOUGH RESEARCH BEFORE COMMENTING ON ANY ISSUE. WE SHOULD START DOING THAT AS A PEOPLE. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Some people just talk by heart. The prof is trying to correct the mistakes that we have been repeating for years, and thus, making it sound as the truth. All that Ghanaians believe in is hearsay; they dont read, they dont rsearch, neither do they ask questions nor interrogate their conscience, or subject their own thinking into scrutiny, in order to get to the bottom of issues..

Why do u have to say families come together to form a nation so the two are the same? In that case individuals also come together to form a family so there is no difference. In academic citation one has to quote verbatim i.e. word for word, otherwise it becomes a paraphrase. Kwegir Aggrey used "family" and not "nation" so please let's accept what the professor is saying and move on. How many of us commenting here are historians and why do we want to debate the professor? It's becoming too nasty the way some of us have made it a habit to attack academics anytime they make statements. If we doubt our intellectuals then we should stop sending our kids to school bcos there's no need. Some of u are able to type ur insulting comments bcos a teacher had to teach u how to read and write. Let's learn to be civil.

The biggest problem with this platform is the insults and the inability or refusal of contributors to be civil in their discourse. People are misbehaving here, just like irrational beings.

What at all is this woman talking about? Was her man not able to satisfy her well in bed for which matter she is taking a jab at all of our top historical Icons.

The meaning still remains the same. When you educate a man you educate an individual but when you educate a woman you educate a lot of people. I disagree with Aggrey though. I learnt a lot from my father. Most of my professors were males. Another fallacy is "what a man can do, women can do better" Can women run faster than Usain Bolt?

this is unnecessary intellectualisation of fact and history and self promotion.
This is coming from village thinking
