Some Ghanaian we normally misunderstand or intentionally paragraph what some people say in order to criticize. Tarza saying that he is PhD does't mean he is arrogant as you and some other people want to put it. He was rather sarcastically telling those without much educational background to be serious of getting education instead of wasting their time condemning and insulting him which may not bring anything fruitful in their lives and the whole nation. It wasn't a matter of him being arrogant or whatever.

THIS WEBSITE IS A DISGRACE. IT MAKES MONEY OFF THE BACKS OF UNCIVILISED, BRUTISH, RACIST, TRIBALISTIC MINDED, ILLITERATE GHANAIANS WHO CANNOT READ,WRITE AND UNDERSTAND SOD ALL.

While other website forums have administrators who sift through articles before being published ghanaweb does nothing but encourages writers to insult each other on tribal, racist, and ethno-centric comments. One day when ghana experiences a civil tribal war ghanaweb will and should be held partly responsible fanning the flames of hatred in Ghana

most of the writers here need free education? is it not a fact that most contributors here start a sentence by referring to tribe, gas ewes, ashantis, etc.? is it not a fact here on ghanaweb that the English is appalling? what is not cool, stating the truth. The trouble with Ghanaians is they refuse to be objective. It is just a one sided propaganda point they want to believe in all the time.
You have not offered any alternative solution the problem of tribalism and ethno centrism here except what you consider to be an insult.

Thank you for your open minded thoughts. Tarzan (Dr. Wereko Brobbey), like some other African and Ghanaian degree holders, think that having a degree is the be all of life. He has forgotten that prior to his having a PH D, there were others who have blazed the trail before him. Additionally since he had his, others have followed with even more plausible work. He has to be told that even in his field with "his PH D", he does not know it all.For the intelligent and learned fellow is one who realises, that the more he/she knows, the less he/she realises he/she does not know, and has more to learn. A word to the wise is enough.

Some People with phd want to be given attention more than they deserve, but they forget that their area of master covers only a part of broad scholarship. A phd holder in history for instance cannot show up when chemistry is being discussed. wireko brobey is only deceiving himself if he thinks his phd makes him a better politician than obetsebi.

Until Dr. Wereko-Brobby went on air recently, no one could tell the substance he was made of, though many have long suspected that he is inherently paranoid suffering from inexplicable and uncontrollable air of pomposity and delusional self-agrandisement. Like every human, this is his but, and one would have expected him to gradually shirk it as he climbed the academic and age ladders but it was not to be. He saw education as the end in itself. In some ways, for Dr Wereko-Brobby and people like him, wisdom, achievements, helping to bring about reformations in communities/society are not necessarily part of their agenda. They seek gainful employment, take top positions or join parties mostly, if not simply, for the sole aim of living better. No wonder Dr. Wereko-Brobby would boast of 3 square meals in comparison with others who cannot afford. We expected Dr Wereko-Brobby to show empathy for those who cannot afford even 2 square meals a day due to no fault of theirs, and give an instance where he helped one or two people through education or small financing to also make it in life.
Dr Wereko Brobby and the likes of him do not bear the blame fully. Unlike the tried and tested employment systems in other countries that continues to contribute to their development, the Ghanaian employment system is mostly concerned with one's academic qualifications. It does not actively consider who one is, the extracurricular activities, and to what extent his/her employment would impact on communities. Therefore, people who may be innately selfish do not necessarily see the need to reform through academic education or otherwise.
Academicians in other countries prove their degrees, or knowledge by what they can contribute to society - anthropological research on specific trends in some tribes, their merits and demerits with specific references to how to improve them; artificial intelligence, super computing, Facebook, cars and what have you.
On the contrary, most of the bunches of professors that Ghana produces are zeros in their fields. Their major achievements are the mere fact that they hold Doctorate degrees or are PhD holders. In fact they have no achievements speak about, and no major record changes that have taken place because of their work. To overcome the psychological trauma, they go about bragging and singing anywhere and any time they get the least opportunity: "I am a PhD holder, I am a PhD holder...".
At the same time, we have several uneducated or college level technicians and other field workers who are heroes in their profession. Example: take your car to the fitting mechanic who might not have had academic education and he can prognose the fault by listening to the engine sound. They can tell you some parts which can fit better for other cars.
As the saying goes, in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king.
Unless we reform our employment system, we would continue to have people likes of Dr. Wereko-Brobby, who will try to put himself above all others for the simple reason that he is a PhD holder.

People are so uncomfortable with persons who taut their knowledge and expertise so much that it is easy to brand anyone who can assert himself as arrogant but Arrogance more than one dimension and can also be said of the one who is quick to pick a stone to stone the sinner. If a knowledgeable person cannot assert himself and talk of his achievement then of what use is a judge who determines the wrong of sinner? There is a simple African proverb that says a lizard that fell from the iroko tree said he will praise himself if no one will. Asserting yourself of your knowledge like Tarzan did must not be considered arrogant if not all teacher fall below the line for as a teacher stands before his students it becomes necessary to taut his knowledge to boosted the desire and inspire confidence for a genuine learning to take place. Being assertive must not be mistaken as arrogance than feeling self righteous to point out the error of others.
