Dr the NPP does not know democracy. It is patapaa they know. For them it is win at all cost else we descend heavily on you. We used to be bombed , and they still i sult us. Please spend time on CPP that has an ideology and a workable program for the under dogs. They know and understand democracy so we can further democracy in Ghana. Tell me what does the NPP stand for? What is their ideology. Our challenge dear brother is to grow the economy and alleviate poverty. Does the NPP share in that noble role? Why replace a corrupt party with another one?

Let NPP grief for now so that they will find time to come up with winning strategies.

Bokor, you have found a new strange voice after leaving Rawlings whom you adore, but thought his glorified madness was paving the way for the NPP. Today, you are happy because of your belief that whenever the NDC is in power, indeed, surrogated through other other ethnic groups, Ewes are in charge! Nothing is permanent, that is, why inclusivity and harmony are needed, not punching the air with delight at your perceived opponents!

I have listed three items for you read; all will help you to understand your mischief!

1. I have lived all my life in saying things that others fear to say and have no need to impersonate anyone at this stage in my life! Some of you have not only patented name-calling, but are also working very hard to add mischief to it. I have no reason to be Amina who is a very very dear friend of mine, or Dr Mensema who is also a Ghanaian lady who writes poetry on Ghanaweb! Amina chose not to contribute to USA Africa Dialogue here because of some of the things that go on here!

You are a funny chap! Someone claimed that s/he lives in PA and teaches in MD, you Googled him/her, couldn't find the information on him/her that you were looking for, therefore, the person is me! Are you really serious:

"I just googled Akadu N. Mensema and this is what I got: "Akadu N. Mensema, Ph. D., is a nationalist Denkyira beauty. She is a trained oral historian cum sociologist and Professor in the USA. She lives in Pennsylvania with her great mentor and teaches Africa-area studies at a college in Maryland. In her pastime, she writes what critics have called “populist hyperbolic, satirical” poetry. She can be reached at akadum...@yahoo.com."

Yet I can't find any Maryland college where an Akadu N. Mensema teaches "Africa-area studies." None. Absolutely none! Hmm. This seems like another "Amina Zeblim" that Kwabena inadvertently unmasked in his unguarded moments.

2. I was aware that I was using Amina's email and that was why I wrote this as a part of my response to Quansy Salako, and which you have quoted:

You would also notice that I am not using my workplace email because I am told that some of the rabid aspersions cast here about me, especially anytime I comment on Nigerian issues, may be detrimental from some official standpoints which is a part of the email that you have quoted!

3. I had also sent this to Oga Falola and received this email from Bisola Falola:

Dr. Akurang-Parry,

What is the hotmail account you'd like to use to access the USA Africa Dialogue? I'll add that account as a member once I hear back from you.

Thanks for your patience on this issue.

Oga,

How are you? I know I have a project to do with you and would get back to you later. I have decided not to use my workplace email here and hence reactivated my hotmail, but it wouldn't allow me to post on USA Africa Dialogue, and I had to ask Amina to use her email to post a response to Quansy Salako. Am I doing something wrong with the hotmail, or are there some technical issues that I have overlooked! Also, it appears that I don't receive all postings from USA Africa Dialogue. For example, I did not receive Farook Kperigo's last email which was brought to my attention and I had to copy it in order to respond to it. Thanks.

Kwabena.

I have googled Kwabena Akurang-Parry and think he is a productive scholar. Yes, he is all over the place with extensive research and publications. His students like him. What is wrong if he has pen names! You disagree with his views which are far better than others who write here. Is that why you want to reveal his identity. Okay tell us about yourself: Ama means zilch!

Akadu,

You see I do not fault the Dr. Bokors' of our world for doing what they do because of their own self interest. My problem is with the flock they keep preaching such nonsense. He can take glee in NPP's loses all wants since that is his prerogative. But him telling us what to do;give me a break.

The flaw of such talk by the likes of Bokor hides the fact that are elections have always been close. They talk as though the NDC keeps winning elections in Ghana by wide margins.

Now that we know Addo is history,we are waiting for them to come up with a new leader before we change our strategies.As for rebuilding of the party,it will be very difficult because they are all arrogant individuals who think they know better.
The same arrogance we see here on Ghanaweb.MODAFUCKERS.

"Nana Konadu’s gang to form the National Democratic Party (NDP) and the refusal of Rawlings to participate in the electioneering campaigns". It is your narrow minded approach in analysing issues regarding Jerry Rawlings that has been a dent on the nice articles you write.Like other Ghanaian intellectuals, your stomach has become submerged under the requirements of your stomach.Name one single issue that Jerry Rawlings complained about and was proven wrong in the end ? Rawlings remains the most consistent politician in Africa as a whole and if that posses a threat to greedy intellectuals like u then i'm sorry

All NPP members have turned themselves into "BOSSES"-kokotiii!!!
What they turn to forget is that the vote of a professor and that of an illiterate carries the same weight! The vote of a pastor and that of an armed robber carries the same weight!!
The vote of Otumfour Osei Tutu II and that of a slave carry the same weight!!!
The earlier they bring themselves to the level of ordinary Ghanaians and eschew arrogance the better for them.

I'm always amazed by folks who do not give a hoot about the NPP, trying to prescribe solutions to our problems like they care. What Hutzpa, yet these are folks who are always screaming about the arrogance of our party. If this is not arrogance, then I don't know what is.. as the phrase goes.

If you guys want one party, the NDC to govern Ghana for ever who cares. I don't know what this writer is talking about? If people's voting habits are informed by their hatred of "Akans" of for that matter Asantes, what do you want the NPP to do? Asante or Akyems to keep quiet because some uninformed scoundrels hate them? Hell no, that will and should never happen.

Look, our ingrained culture of envy is the problem here not the NPP. I would rather loose elections based on principles than to appease some tribal haters, who would rather vote against a tribe than for their own well being. This is nothing new in electoral politics as people have always voted against their own self interest based on whatever myopic views they might harbor. The writer may be right though, the NPP may keep loosing elections as the tribal haters and the envious bunch may wish, but some of these folks will keep wallowing in their own petard.

The next thing we are going to hear from the likes of this writer, would be to call on Asantes to take a back seat in the NPP as though winning at all cost is what the country needs.
