And what is the use of calling him Prof if not to laugh at him and telling him he is "too known"? The man lays his criticisms hard on you and two others in what many people will read more as a joke than him trying to bring you down. He's never told us he's a Prof or anything grand. He lets his stuff tell its story. Looks like you can't stand it. But grow up, Benjamin, and learn something from others too.
PKM reads the writings of only three people on this website on a regular basis - Kwasi Sakyi, Daniel Pryce and yourself. He thinks these are the only people worth reading - the only people with any redeeming features in their writing. You should smile at that!

CAPTIONS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY. I THINK THAT THE TEACHERS TEACHING IN COMMUNICATION SCHOOLS THEMSELVES MUST GO BACK TO SCHOOL. GO TO AMERICA, YOU HAVE TEACHERS WITH 3-4 MASTERS & PHDS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS OF COMMUNICATION .HERE IN GHANA, SOMEONE JUST OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY WITH THE USUAL FIRST DEGREE IS TEACHING IN THIS SCHOOL.WHAT MIND HAS HE IN THE FIRST? .SO IT'S THE USUAL. GARBAGE. SOMETIMES THOSE OF YOU WHO WRITE ON THE WEB THINK THAT USING BIG WORDS MAKES ONE A GOOD WRITER.BUT JS FARRANT, ONE OF WORLD'S MOST RENOWN PSYCHOLOGIST, IN ONE OF HIS WRITINGS SAID" IF, AS A TEACHER, YOU MAKE YOUR TEACHING SO DIFFICULT FOR YOUR STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND, YOU THE TEACHER KNOWS NOTHING ".

I have been following the tributes written on this site to Chinua Achebe and I enjoyed most the one by Foofo Fafa which was in a class. Then that of Kwesi Tawiah Benjamin took a journalistic twist but it was interesting from a different perspective. There was the recent one by Sylvanus Bedzrah. I thank Kwesi Tawiah Benjamin for mentioning me in his article. I thought I am a minnow, small fly, factotum and nonentity on ghanaweb. True, it is no good denigrating anyone on ghanaweb. What we have to do right is to be forthright, objective by not attacking the person of the writer but sanely dissecting the substance of what they write. Please be on the lookout for my own special tributes to Achebe this week and ensuing weeks. Some could be long and please Cousin Paa Kwesi Mintah, Sam Duodu, Kojo T, Sani, Akadu etc etc, please don't come at me with your sharp daggers at my cadavar because I strongly believe in the Fante adage that 'oguanfun nsuro sekan' or a dead goat fears no sharp knife.

I was one of the best English Language students in High School(Prempeh College). In fact I always got the best grade from Form One to Form Five.
Fast forward. My Literature in English(English I) Professor at Dallas Baptist University had problems with my writing style for a whole Semester.
I hated her. I went on to take English II and III and did well in both classes. How did that happen? I learned from my mistakes which were highlited by the Professor I previously hated. Today, I am a Communications Consultant proudly editing a book written by a double PhD holder. People just love my books because of my clarity in writing. Be grateful to PKM!

Correction: "highlited" should read "highlighted". Sorry typo!
Do you now see how true the Akan adage is?

I asked a simple question because I knew I was dealing with you! And that question is how did you come to the conclusion that Ghanaians have not read Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Your views are neither intelligent culling of extant data nor an intelligent effort to come up with one. I was generous the fist time and this time let me just add that your views have always been reductive and stupid! The present essay is not only disappointing, but also symptomatic of appaling poverty in nuance and problematizing of issues! In sum, your essays foreground you in precints of immature analyses and conclusions!

Akadu like Ahoofe,Adofo and co are all indeed mad.I believe many people will be struggling to make sense of what you have written.A simple appeal for the need for the reading culture among Ghanaians and Africans have drawn your anger.I thought you were mentioned in dispatches in a complimentary way so my surprise at your reaction.An appeal to educate ourselves through reading can only be a good thing and it is only the stupid who will oppose it.

My form three teacher told me long ago that writing is an individual art form. As long as one's writing is not burdened by grammatical errors, one is good to go. You may keep your IS TO THE GO COME! That is your linguistic finger-print! I write with evocation and poise and my words breathe!
