You are now admitting that university education has failed in Ghana. Where the useless university graduates of political science, business administration, and all the nonsense.

The last of such an exercise was carried on during Kuffuor's regime and if my memory serves me right, Sunyani was adjudged the cleanest city in Ghana.

Any stranger can get Tamale for cheat and Black paint it. But God has his way of flashing such enemies out.

Yes, Tamale and its citizens may have problem but the fact remains that they things and citizens are far better than where you hail from and the citizens there. How many times have you written on the ills and gaps of where you hail from?

Don't forget that people from Tamale area have also visited your area and there has been nothing to write home about. Morality is low, poverty is high, irresponsibility of parents worse, low sense of pride,and discrimination against other ethnic groups is their lots.
Yes, I very much agree that lawlessness of any kind should not be tolerated and I detest lawlessness but you should be honest to see these not be associated with just Dagomabs as your write-ups usually try to portray. I bet you, whether you like it or not Dagombas are far better than Dagaabas in all the areas you have raised. Dagombas cannot be perfect, but just far better than you Dagaabas in all aspects of good life.

I live in Accra and in many cases you see these kinds of behaviours on daily basis. This is not to defend but I am compelled to raise these issues because you appear to have hatred against Dagombas and you show this anytime you write. Please be informed that the worse Dagomba is better than you. Do a criticl observation, reflection and analysis of people of Dagaaba origin and to compare that to the observations you are making in Tamale and then proceed to do an objective write-up for all us.

As an adivice, be careful not to let Dagombas feel that you hate them for that would mark the end of your stay in Tamale and nobody can stop that. I repeat, nobody can stop that. You have been mentioning soldiers over and over again but no soldier can do any thing if a level playing field is created for them and Dagombas to face each other. A word to the wise is enough.

You have jam up so many ideas.Your piece is very poor in language and syntax.If you are a train journalist, then I pity the profession and your likes. The ideas are there but poorly presented to convey and create the necessary impact you intend to carry out. You can write this article again in a better way.Goodluck

I have read with disappointment an article entitled "a soldier as Tamale Mayor can help restore sanity"_see feature articles at ghanaweb.com

That article left me wondering on which part of the world the author might have come from and what his understanding may be with regards to cultural relativity and proper conduct.
I want to briefly mention that his logic as to who should marry is not superior to other logics and as learned as he claimed, he should have known that it is illogical to judge on inductive platforms.

He seem to see nothing good in a place where he makes his daily bread and have not opted for migration. I wonder what is hindering him. He might have dreamt of an etopian society that is clean and based on his thinking of what passes for rule of law .

I wish to mention that Mr Joseph Ziem and his like are not under any obligation to give anything to a street-child even if they seek accommodation. Ziem is yet to travel back to his village to see his own street children.

Contrary to his view that our women in Tamale are bastards and our youth being violence and lawless, i want to inform Joseph Ziem that the people in Tamale are the most discipline, lawful, clean and most religious people that can be found in Ghana.

I have lived in Kumasi, Accra, Cape coast and Takuradi and can confirm that there are more child prostitutes, thiefs & pilfers, violence, filt and general disorder in those place than in Tamale.

Journalist & people working in Tamale can roam the city till 2: 00 pm without any danger, i want to suggest to Mr Joseph Ziem to try that in Kumasi, Accra or elsewhere.

Mr Joseph Ziem is yet to learn that there is no single city in the world, small or big that has not got some challenges with regards to sanitation and other urbanization problems. Yet no city has been crucify.
People like Mr Jospeh Ziem has been part of the problems in Tamale and are doing their best to undermine and relegate the civilizations of the people of Tamale and Dagbon for that matter. but i want to assure him that he will need a better education then he has gotten now to ploy his trade.

Good observation. a lawless town with dirty environs. The authorities of this holy but filthy town condone with criminals for favour to misconduct themselves not even knowing their basic duties. lawlessness has taken the core n root of this beautiful city. drivers can park anywhere to pick a passenger without due regards to road regulations. oh what a pity!.

1st whore’s son. Ur mum is seriously screaming for help bcos multitude of men fucked her crazy-crazy & have finished her vagina so she can’t urinate. The saddest point is that a dog has taken her over-size stinking pant away. She is at street naked as a mad woman. Imagine ur mum is a Mad- Naked Female whore advertising her big stinking cunt at the street. Hahahaha!!!

stupid son, i am here bcos of u. U are indeed the 1st son of the 1st whore. U were nurtured in a whore-room so u don’t have head. Tell ur stupid dad not to be silly again to waste his sperms to get a thing like u again bcos u are of no use. Ur mum can’t come home today bcos the number of men she is satisfying their Libido is very great. I am afraid she wouldn’t get a place to pass out urine if she finish receiving these countless penis. I am waiting for u!!

you have exposed who you really are; seeing nothing good about Tamale,lamenting about everything and doing almost nothing in respect of the "ills" you speak about. I am not a journalist but the ethics of journalism is anchored more on facts rather than opinion. Remember to always ask yourself one basic question; would some people of Tamale know where I come from really?
