  'I hear people say that u went to Mecca?' I peacefully asked a male Muslim from Ghana, one day.

  ALHAJI is the Muslim equivalent of a Doctoral Degree. When u tell Ghana's Muslims that, like the white man, Arabs enslaved and do not respect Black people, they get angry.
  Myths die hard.

  Nana Sir Antobam should remember that there are laws against prosecuting a person twice for the same offense.
  It would be 'overkill' and 'double jeopardy' if Ghana were to try Mr. Amoateng---the way Dr. Antobam would want it ...

  THE GHANAIAN MEDIA IS THE WORSE IN THE WORLD. BUT, ANTOBAN,SUBMITTING SUCH LONG ARTICLES DOES NOT MAKE YOU A SCHOLAR. YOU'RE EQUALLY STUPID AS OUR SO-CALLED MEDIA MEN.

  Forson, why are you insulting Antobam? His article is long but the issues raised are simple to understand. Don't Ghanaians feel ashamed for calling our MPs Honorables. Look at the behaviors of people like Ursula Owusu, Ken Agyapong etc. Why in the world should anybody call these bofoons Honorables?

  Mr Forson, I agree this article is long but if you managed to read whole textbooks, this should be nothing. And more importantly, I think you must refrain from insulting people and rather comment on the issues raised. This is ...

  Mr Forson, I agree this article is long but if you managed to read whole textbooks, this should be nothing. And more importantly, I think you must refrain from insulting people and rather comment on the issues raised. This is a show of intolerance.

  A shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks tentatively. "Would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?"
  
  To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"
  
  Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a journalist and I've got an assignment to study how people respond to embarrassing situations."
  
  To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"

  Your article covers a lot of subjects. It is long but readable unlike those of some PhD writers on GHANAWEB.
  On the subject of displaying "academic pomposity" in public and in print I can only say that it is only an accident of history and location that some of our country men have not or cannot attain high educational level. I have sat under the village tree and listened to wisdom, native wisdom come out the mouths of our illiterate brethren much more than I H]hear from some of our politicians.

  As for academic titles, Ghanaians flaunt them because there is a growing middle class that still thinks academic titles eventually bolster one's societal image, lead to larger income and a life of great comfort....the Ghanaian press is ill-prepared to deal with its many challenges...the training is not vigorous and the rewards less attractive...so expect more of the same

  Antobam, are u a scholar in sociology? you have a great eye for behaviour across cultures. regarding ghanaian journalists, the truth is hunger takes away dignity. its all about 'noko fioo.' when people like u enter media practice, the media will be respectable.
