Nkrumah must be turning in his grave. An educated African expecting white men to sit on a Ghanaian election case? adofo should rather ask the white man to buy all of us into slavery once again. Aboa bi ba.

It is a pity that a man like Adofo and daughter should ask of foreign Judges 3exhibiting the evidence of reliance of a white man. Ask this Adofo and daughter what they mean by independence sovereign state. A fool indeed.

NPP folks were lucky foreign (I guess European or American) judges did not sit on this case. This case would have been thrown out on solely on the confusion over the pink slips; The duplications, triplications and quadruplications, mislabeling etc. This case was bogus from get go. Get over it, Adofo. Justice is not only when your side wins. The other side is entitled to justice too.

Adofo, I am sorry I only read the first paragraph of your articles, so I am not sure if my comment will be fair. I am not sure whether you just used your daughter to make a case and I also do not know your daughter's age. Just explain to her that Ghana is no longer under the white man's rule but a sovereign state. That is why white people did not adjudicate on the presidential petition. I hope your daughter is also not growing up with the idea that white people are better than black people. That would be sad but what can I expect, like father like daughter.

It is very strange that ALL the court cases relating to rigged election disputes have been dismissed (even when supported by solid proof) throughout Africa (from north all the way down to south). I have been gathering details of several cases from different African countries, and frankly, I feel sorry for Africa.
It is heart-breaking that our leaders lack honesty and integrity but are power-hungry, money-thirsty and have lost touch with the very people they should help and protect. This type of attitude and behaviour means that Africa will forever be under-developed, poverty-stricken, no freedom of speech nor any freedom at all, poor or no education and moral values, full of inequality and......DESPAIR.

Ms. Adofo is still young. There is still time for her to grow up, see life, and in time understand the world around her. In particular, she will learn that the Whiteman is not always right. That self-interest sometimes drives decisions many whites also make.

Alas, for Mr. Adofo, it is too late. Sadly, he appears to have grown up and left most, if not all, of his brain in his knees.

Sad, sad, affair!

Adofo you are a So So ignorant. Being overseas does not make you wiser or smarter or even better than any single individual in Ghana and therefore YOU as a self-professed smarter than thou, owe Ghanaians an apology for that insult. You're undermining those who stayed and held down the fort against all odds.

Secondly you are dumb not to realise that, you owe your allegiance to the well-being of the country to Nana Addo more than Ghana. Ghana is better than Nana Addo and Mahama and at the end of the day, it's the same usual politics and politicians. Where have you been all this time and what have you done for Ghana lately? Remember that Mahama is not a life president and he will serve his term and be gone. A lot of the crap you wrote does not make sense and you're seething like a a child. Of course you consulted with your little daughter before you put this article up, which makes you a suckling...... Talking about curses and all that?... Dayum!Buy a book, go and contribut to the library in your locality to make a poor child's life better. You'll be acknowledged.

Justice, that is what colonialist education have done to most of our citizens and Africa on the whole.......

It has produced people with Phd's etc. etc. but, as long as the system is entrenched in MENTAL-SLAVERY then, the end products of our so-called education system will continually produce people who cannot see the sense in emancipating their minds.....
Hence, the likes of Adofo Rockson and many more others in our society.

They enjoy aping around mimicking everything about their slave masters but, nothing from within they themselves. In other words, incapable of fulfilling their God-given purpose in this world. The wisdom and knowledge bestowed on them by the Almighty, is discarded with the belief that they can become like their slave masters - just by speaking and acting like them.........That's my take on it.

Adofo, are you really serious?
It is the likes of you who don't see any good in your own people and continually sell our rich natural resources on the cheap, to your colonialist masters.

You can't even see anything good in your own self, let alone your fellow Ghanaians. Why on earth do we need foreign judges for this petition? Are you serious?????

You are too much 'enshrined' with this ongoing tribal 'gutter' politics between the two USELESS parties of NDC and NPP that, your views and suggestions exposes your myopic and mediocre views.

The likes of you would even call on your slave masters to enslave our people again, if you were given the opportunity.....................
Our society cannot be allowed to be reduced to your myopic views...just because you belong to one of the useless parties.

Instead of intellectually considering and highlighting the positives of this election petition outcome, here you are attacking the judges. It's rather unfortunate the likes of you have the opportunity to put 'pen to paper' and distort facts and present our citizens with mediocre views.

YOUR QUOTE: "As I shall be serialising my views on the judgment, I shall end here but not without stating that all those jubilant at the verdict must rather bow down their heads in shame. The wise ones abroad are laughing at our ignorance and stupidity as Ghanaians if not as Black people gracing evil instead of good."................

HOW DARE YOU REFER TO GHANAIANS AS SUCH? WHO ARE THE WISE ONES? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? OR YOU ARE REFERRING TO YOUR SLAVE MASTERS?

Adofo, please wake up and free your mind of mental-slavery and come to the realization that you were also created by God and capable of anything........

I strongly believe you can do better than this........but your 'tribalistic', slave-mentality and partisan views has clouded your judgement and approach to everything Ghanaian. What a shame!

Ghana is an Independent Nation. To say that the judicial system in Foreign countries are not corrupt or influenced by their Political affiliation is a joke/.Russia was suppose to have had free election , is a joke. Twice Bush jr was elected, which many Americans believed was a flaw.
Did Russians and Americans asked a foreign country to make judicial decision for them? ,the answer is NO
Those who still think we must always run to foreigners to solve our problems ,belong to 'colonial era'.
Let me remind those folks, Ghana is free forever ,as Kwame Nkrumah declared on March 6 1957.

For a moment I thought Adofo was an intelligent fellow who is trying to point out the misconducts of the judges who sat on the election petition. However, it turned out that he is no better than any of those who gave the so called "unfortunate verdict". I wonder how old Mr. Adofo's daughter is? And how much knowledge she has in Ghanaian politics to suggest Ghana bring in expatriate judges to hear the petition? This makes me wonder if it's not time to sit father and daughter for a little education.
Get to know Mr. Adofo that: (1) there is corruption all over the world, and I don't condone its presence in Ghana and Africa as a whole. (2) corruption is not only about those who take or give money and material gifts to do wrong things. (3)Question; How will the world view us if we ignore our home made judges to bring in people whose motivation in this issue is money to be made? (4)Question; will they be there if we start tearing ourselves apart because of their wrongful judgement? (5) Has Adofo asked himself what if these foreign justices come in with their own agenda far from what we brought them for? I can go on and on but its about time We stop this insanity and say to ourselves that we did it on our own. We have shown the world that we are capable of self determination and we have done it in peace. We have also shown the world our level of tolerance which is second to none. So Adofo STOP invoking those spirits on your fellow Ghanaians who worked to end the petition issue when they (the spirits)seem to be happy with us.
