YOU'RE A STUPID & SENSELESS MAN WHO HAS HAS NO CONSCIENCE. WERE THE 79 & 81 COUPES THE FIRST IN THE HISTORY OF GHANA? .WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THE SO-CALLED NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR THE BACKWARD DANQUAH/BUSIA GROUP WHO ENDED UP SELLING STATE PROPERTIES TO THEMSELVES, A HISTORY THAT THE NPP REPEATED WHILE IN OFFICE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO ARE ON YOUR HEELS, EITHER IN STATEN ISLAND OR IN NEW YORK! AN IDIOT CALLING HIMSELF A PROFESSOR!

NPP members who are mostly sons and daughters of vicious tribalist, angry terrorist, bitter, and extreme litigants simply cannot tolerate differring views of each other let alone those who do not belong to their inner cycle.

You challenge them and they will hate you for life and will pass on the message of hate to their children from generation to generation. They will never give any one a peace of mind as long as things do not go their way.

They will worship with you in the same churches yet once they get out of church the preaching changes from the message of Christ to that of hate. They will pretend they are a peace loving and tolerant Ghanaians but remains more vicious than pit Vipers. Check their articles on Ghana web even when they attack each other, its laced with deadly venom.

They jubilated and celebrated the death of Awoonor because Awoonor was a tribalist yet some of the jubilants such as this writer have been preaching tribal hate for decades on Ghana web. I wonder if they ever ponder over their own fates since the same that befell Awoonor could befall them or a much worse form.

Most of them are in the diaspora and have no love for mother Ghana yet cannot stop disturbing the ears of those who are down there sacrificing and doing their best for mother Ghana.

NPP Party as it stands now needed to be avoided like a plague if you love all Ghanaians. Join them if you are a vicious intolerant tribalist who also believes in bombings. The NDC on the other hand is filled with clueless people but at least more tolerant. I therefore I ask all peace loving Ghanaians to consider voting for the CPP in the next general elections.

God Bless Ghana.

To those of your generation who don't know, this man lived by the sword and therefore died by the sword! he was full of hatred in his heart for Ashantis and Akans in general and together with the rest of the Dzulakofe mafia (Kojo Tsikata, Tatsu Tsikata and the rest) masterminded the killing of prominent Ashantis like Gen. Afrifa etc. It's the long arm of God's justice that has taken him away. Look at where he fell; far away from home. We shed no tears for a quint inessential tribalist like Kofi Awoonor!
AWOONOR STOOD BESIDE RAWLINGS AND SAID THAT THE AIM OF THE REVOLUTION WAS TO TAKE AWAY AKANS INFLUENSE IN GHANA ESPECIALLY THE ASHANTIS HE GREATLY REJOICED WHEN RAWLINGS SLAUGHTERED TWO HEADS OF STATES AND SENIOR MILITARY OFFICIALS 90% OF WHOM WERE NON EWES
IN ONE OF HIS WRITINGS HE SAID THAT HE WAS AN EWE FIRST BEFORE GHANA.
LET THE LORD JUDGE HIM!

EVEN PRESIDENT KUFUOR AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA ARE/WERE IN THE USA AS GHANAIANS, FRIENDS, BROTHERS, AND ABOVE ALL PRESIDENTS OF GHANA NOT ENEMIES IN GHANA OR FROM GHANA.

I am not a fan of Okoampa Ahoofe but I know for a fact that he is indeed an instructor of English at Nassau Community College. He is not making that up.

I have questions for this headless Teacher who is stuck with time and can`t move on.

1-Were there some members of the Akan speaking language with Rawlings during the revolution?
2-Was Rawlings`s brief rule in 1979 AFRC Cabinets consists of Akan,Ewes,Northerners and other tribes?
If your answers to the two questions is yes,can you tell your readers why none of the Akan speaking members registered their disagreement with all the unspeakable atrocities stated in your article.

If you want Kofi Annan to condemn the 1979 revolution,then you must as well ask him to start from the days of the bloody "Matemehu" cult of which your bloody ancestors killed innocent men,women and defenceless children for simply supporting a political leader of their choice.
Some were baked in ovens,some had their eyes gouged out and some were brutally beheaded,yet not a single article comes from you on such despicable acts of terrorism.
You shameless he goat of a stinking son of a BITCH.

It is still unclear the kind of agenda Okoampa and his friend Adofo want to set in Ghana. There has been a terrorists attack which claimed the lives of so many people including a prominent son of Ghana. Many people the world over are grieving over the heinous crime committed. It is to be expected that every human being with a human heart would have some kind of sympathy for the lives that have been lost but not Okoampa Mpotompoto Ahoofe,the man with a GOAT HEART. Okoampa always proves to be a deviant when discussing issues. Is there any wonder that in discussing the recent terrorists attack, carried out by the Al-Shabab group, he meandered his way to smuggle in issues which have no relevance to the issue at stake. What has events in the revolutionary era got to do with the Nairobi attack. Again, what bearing is tribalistic issue like Akan, Ewe got to with the recent Nairobi attack? What is Okoampa expecting to achieve with this parallel line of argument? Perhaps he is being sponsored by some people who want to revive the "Mate meho " idea. Let it be made known to Okoampa and his friend Adofo that whatever diabolical plans they have would not succeed In Ghana and that very soon, no one would read or pass any comment on their cantankerous and controversial articles.

Lucky it was Kwame Nkrumah who led Ghana into independence instead of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo clique.Ghana has was just lucky and has been lucky so far in not engaging in the kind of tribalistic wars in other African countries.Okoampah, please, if you have nothing positive to say about Ghana, go teach your Community college students huh!

Unfortunately, Kofi Annan has turned blind eye where during the fake revolutions three (3) Akan Judges and seven (7) Generals were slaughtered by Rawlings and his cohorts but where the said fake revolution is/are being celebrated annually in the eyes of the corrupt NDC Government.
