Thank you for your excellent piece. Those who are laughing Dr. Bawu. should be pitied. If a teacher gives a test and a student decides not to write anything on the paper. At the end of the exam, the paper will be blank. When the teacher is marking the scripts he will definitely give such a student zero (0). The blank sheet will earn the student zero(0). So Dr. Bawu is right. Blank means zero(0).

Thank you Indeed!!!. Just Because We can not SEE God and touch HIM. God is blank and is therefore equals zero. Good Analysis.

Dealing with blanks is different from dealing with sheets that contain figures and numbers and so taking every blank sheets of most of which contains numbers and figures as 0 may be misleading. Bawumiah is wrong.

if a space for number of ballots issued is blank but there are actual votes of verified voters in transparent ballot box witnessedand attested to by reps of all political parties, common sense should tell you that blan is not equal to zero votes.

Instead of addressing what actually happened in this election for people to understand, you write an essay calling an evasive witness a genius.
No wonder with the abundance of Ghanaian intellectuals/engineers we can't find solution to sewers in open gutters.

My 4th grade daughter can explain in one sentence what happened using common sense!

You are not ready to accept the fact. Politics has left you dumb and blind. If blank is not equals zero, what is it then? Give the author some credit with such a brilliant analysis.

Stop this miseducation. If people go to the polls to vote and a count is made for the various candidates and I leave a blank space for the total doesn't mean nobody voted. you just fighting a lost cause.

If we are for a second to side with the lunatic, inward-looking rantings of the resident Say It Loud IDIOT, ZEO, the worshipper of mortals, then it is appropriate to say that the overthrow of Dr. Hilla Limaan by the imbecile Rawlings was driven along by pure tribalism.

Will the buffoon Zeo and his sidekicks tell the whole world while all the invisible hands , and faces that instigated 'designed' and implemented the unnecessary coup were Ewes?

Then again how come after the coup all the soldiers who participated in the cold blood murder of the three High Court Judges and the Retired Major all Akans were Ewes?

Now do you see why your kind must be the last to label anyone tribalistic? If Ghana is at the brink of tribal catastrophe don't look any further from your kind who for nineteen years of Rawlings misgovernance, deepened the tribal chasm.

It is only those suffering from political correctness and hypocrisy who would deny that your kind had been a major contibuting factor in destroying good tribal relations in our country

There are five Baskets numbered 1-5

The five baskets have oranges in them except one. Your Teacher asks you to count the number of oranges in each basket and write a number down for each

1 Basket one has twenty oranges so you will write=20

2.basket two has fifteen=15

3.basket three has ten oranges=10

4. basket four has five oranges=5

5 Basket five has no oranges in it, blank, what number will you write down?

Thank you K. Badu for this excellent analysis, it sounds right. I think we should not accept mediocrity in matters of national importance such as election recording since there is always the risk there may be some misunderstanding. The election day covers only one day and one sheet of paper and I find it difficult to understand that throughout the training of election officers there was this weird recording on the sheets as if theye were taught the wrong thing. A blank space during addition will be taken as a zero, full stop. Please send a copy of your analysis to Dr Afari Djan and the Supreme court judges possibly under an "amicus curiae" or whatever it is called , Thanks again.

ZERO for Basket #5 = 0. It's plain and simple! It's only the NDC "tiiifs" who won't accept the truth because the truth hurts. They stole the December elections. The evidence Dr. Bawumia has isn't his own cooked-up numbers/figures; it's the NDC's own recorded figures or data. The "Sasabonsam" party is full of liars and "tiiifs" and Ghanaians esp. our Noble Justices who're hearing the case must take notice.

2.basket two has fifteen=15

3.basket three has ten oranges=10

4. basket four has five oranges=5

5 Basket five has no oranges in it, blank, what number will you write down?"
According to your analysis, after you write down the number of each box, box five will be 0 in that case blank, but the sum of 20+15+10+5+0=50.
As much as I accept that blank in mathematics is = 0 do also remember that we are talking about ballots cast in a polling station with a votters register which contains the no. of registed voters.

BASKET 5 IS O

A young teen aged girl was a prostitute and, for obvious reasons, kept it a secret from her Grandma. One day, the police led by Officer Cardinal raided a brothel and arrested a group of prostitutes, including the young girl.

The prostitutes were instructed to line up in a straight line on the sidewalk. Well, who should be walking in the neighborhood, but little old Grandma. The young girl became frantic.

Sure enough, Grandma noticed her young granddaughter and asked curiously, "What are you lining up for dear?" Not willing to let grandma in on her secret, the young girl said that some people were giving out free oranges and that she was lining up for some.

"Mmmm, sounds lovely," said Grandma, "I think I'll have some myself," she continued as she made her way to the back of the line. Cardinal police officer made his way down the line, questioning all of the prostitutes. When he got to Grandma at the end of the line, he was bewildered. "But, you're so old, how do you do it?"

Grandma replied," Oh, it's quite easy Cardinal, I just remove my dentures and suck 'em dry.

A man and his girlfriend are driving down the highway. The man asks “If I drive 100 mph will you take off your clothes?” and she agrees. So the man drives 100 mph and his girlfriend strips. The man is so busy looking at his girlfriend that he crashes into a tree. The car flipped over, trapping the man and all of his girlfriend’s clothes. All that is free of the car is the girlfriend and one of his Pink shoes.

The man yells, “You have to go get help. Go to that gas station over there.”

His girlfriend says, “Are you kidding me? I’m naked.”

“Well” replies the man “Take my pink shoe over there cover up your pussy and go get help.”

So the woman covers her pussy with the pink shoe and goes to the gas station. She says to an attendant, “You have to help me. My boyfriend’s trapped”

“I’m sorry ma’am” the attendant replies, “he’s too far in.”

One day, Satan was out for a walk through Hell, making sure things were running smoothly. When he got to the Lake of Fire, he saw a man sitting by the lake, relaxing in a lawn chair, and not sweating or looking uncomfortable at all. Perplexed, Satan approached the man and asked:

"Young man, are you not hot or bothered by this heat?" The man replied, "Oh no, not at all. I lived in downtown Toronto and this weather is just like a typical July day in the city." Satan thought that this was not a good sign, so he rushed back to his office and turned up the heat in Hell another 100 degrees. Satisfied with himself, he again returned to the Lake of Fire to check on the young man.

When he got there, the man was showing a few beads of sweat, but that was all. Again Satan asked the Torontonian, "Are you hot and uncomfortable yet?" The young man looked up and said, "No, the temperature is just like a hot August day in Toronto. I'm coping it just fine."

Satan decided that he had to do something drastic to make this man's stay in Hell unpleasant. He went back to his office, turned the heat all the way down, and then turned up the air conditioning. The temperature in Hell quickly dropped well below zero. As he approached the Lake of Fire, he noticed that it was now frozen over. He also saw the Torontonian jumping up and down wildly, waving his arms and yelling into the air.

"This looks promising!" thought Satan. Coming closer, he finally made out what the man was shouting: "The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup! The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup!"

Folks, the NPP and its shallow minded legal team has finally fallen into Tsatsu's trap. When lawyer Amedzeku filled his applications before the supreme court, NPP counsel lawyer Addison was first jumped to his feet and raised objection for its dismissal on the grounds that he has not sworn proper affidavitt in support of his application. As a result his objection was upheld and lawyer Amedzeku's application was dismissed. Now most of the evidences and exhibits NPP submitted to the supreme court are duplications,triplications and quadruplications without commissioner of oath approved stamps thus not properly sworn with affidavit in support. QUESTION:Do you think the supreme court in its own wisdom would overlook these same loop holes in lawyer Amedzeku's application which is the same as that of NPP and rule in their favour?.

Whilst there seems to be an intrigue in the effort by Dr. Bawumia to outwit the Court with his blank=0 analytical antics, the practical common sense of intent in Law supersedes any calculus principle in this case.

Dr. Bawumia's postulate parallels the notion that one could prove the existence of anything with some deep space analytical theory. In fact, it reminds me of the current resurgent debate on the existence of Anti-matter and its attributes.

A particular question that sounds similar is: "if we could capture a molecule of Anti-matter and dropped it, would it go upwards?"

The gist of my view here is that the Court must not be swayed by sheer display of Academic prowess but use simple common sense and the Law to rule on the case. We may be thrilled by those who intend to use the case and its arena for showcasing their potentials and selling themselves for future opportunities in Governance. But this case must be decided on its merits alone and not who would be a better leader.
