You don't know what you are talking about:

"...nd I am also quite certain that the recently deceased Mr. Vincent Assiseh, my uncle-in-law, by the way, did a far better job in the office of former President Jerry John Rawlings..."

Vincent Assisey was never the spokesman for Rawlings. He was the General Secretary of the NDC.

Opoku-Acheampong and Elvis Aryeh were Rawlings' Press Secretaries. You, fool.

If you don't know, ask to be told before you mess up!!

MY BROTHER XEBIESO, WHY THE MALICE AGAINST OKOAMPA. YOU MAY HATE HATE BUT HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. NDC IS NOT ONLY MORTGAGING OUR FUTURE AND CHILDREN' FUTURE, BUT ALSO OUR GRAND CHILDREN AND GENERATION UNBORN.

He is not as foul-mouthed as the empty-headed prof Ahoofe. He is following your abusive pattern.Unnecessary insults is Okoampa"s[Me4U] strongest selling point.

The man has spent more than half his life outside Ghana. He doesn't live there. He left in the early years of Rawlings' rule and doesn't really know much about Ghana apart from what he reads on the web and friends tell him.

Okoampa shouldn't be writing on Ghana on a daily basis. He has no first hand knowledge of the country. He doesn't live there!!!

Ghana's parliament is useless and cannot do anything to stop the president from misusing our money. The reason is that thanks to Afari Gyan, NDC has a majority in parliament and will always side with, and vote for, Mahama even when it is clear that there is looting, tribalism, refusal to prosecute criminal NDC members etc. The only solution is to kick Mahama and his looting brigade out by any means before our country is totally destroyed. No matter how we vote against them they will rig, bribe the electoral commissioner and the supreme court judges to stay in power to avoid prosecution and recovery of the looted money.

okoampa is irrelevant.people in Ghana here with Ph.D are usefullçç. None will produce such.......for lack of stronger words ...rubbish. Shame to obtain this height but stooping in the gutter. Learn to be a little profitable to the country you profess to love so much also respect we the people you think you are representing cos you are of out any trouble you are causing.Ghanains are far ahead of you now.come home and help rather than sitting and helping to destroy sing hate songs aall times.

I am not sure if Nkrumah actually completed and defended a Ph.D. dissertation. What I do know is that he passed his preliminary examinations for a doctorate at U-Penn [1], but the Ph.D. dissertation in Philosophy was rejected, “presumably for being too pro-Communistic" [2, p.64]. There is also information that he got a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the London School of Economics in 1945 (source: africa-confidential) but I do not know if that has been verified; as he moved to the UK from the US that same year and got caught up in the political upheaval of the colonial ‘elites’ in England.

ITS OBVIOUS THE WRITER ENVIES BEN.
THE WRITER SHOULD KNOW THAT BEN IS A VERY HUMBLE PERSON WITH VERY SHARP MINDS. IT IS THESE VALUES WHICH MADE BBC TO DRAG HIM INTO THEIR FOLD. DRAG HIM BECAUSE HE DID NOT GO TO BBC SEARCHING FOR JOB, IT WAS BBC WHICH CHASED HIM. THE WRITER HAS DELIBERATELY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT BEN WAS WITH THE UN BEFORE MAHAMA WENT POUCHING HIM. SO THE WRITER SHOULD NOT DARE TO CREATE THE IMPRESSION BEN WAS JUST AN EMPTY HEADED JOURNALIST MAKING NOISE AT BBC. BEN WILL LECTURE THIS WRITER IN MATHMATICS, STATISTICS, ICT AND EVEN ENGLISH FOR WHICH THE WRITER IS CLAIMING PROFESSORSHIP. WHAT MAHAMA HAS DONE IS TO LOWER BEN, BECUASE BEN IS MORWE CAPABLE THAN WHAT MAHAMA WANTS HIM TO DO. APART FORM THAT THOSE THERE SINCE MILLS DAYS HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE GOOD JOB AS GOVERNMENT SPOKES PERSON. IN MY ESTIMATION KWAKYE ALONE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO HANDLE GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATION FUNCTION.

Okoampa-Ahoofe you're truly incorrigible. It is amazing how some Ghanaians could read and find any wisdom in anything you write. Most of your Gestapo-like politically motivated articles shower praises on political animals from the eastern region of Ghana and or political wanna-be in the Ashanti region if there are some “ananse” storybook connections between those from the Ashanti region and your tribesmen in the eastern region.
How are your ethnic preferences any different from that of the president? Did you not help Sir John to get to give his politically incoherent rant at a university in Philly? Was that nepotism or you're entitled to your preferences while others have to confer with you?. Have you not read articles from the phony Ghanaian in Maryland who hails from your neck of the woods with PhD sowing seeds of tribal animus as you do? The difference between your kind and past and present president is that each president earned the votes to be president of Ghana while you and your preferred kinsfolk have failed. J.J. Rawlings, Kufour, Atta Mills and John Mahama earned their presidency; you and your Nana Akufo-Addo and his tonto or side-kick Sir John may never get there and or get the chance to steal again. The same ethnic nepotism that those of us in southern Ghana have used to rein over Ghana since 1957 is being visited upon us; you should shut up and enjoy the ride.

Good points by Okoampah. The EWES. the Northerners, the friends, the family members, grouped -- nepotism, ethnocentrism, chronism. Even my EWE friend is jittery and not happy about this open display of divisionism

Calling Nkrumah with or without the civil mister title or nobody still makes him relevant and a worlwide recognised figure as compared to the only Kyebi enclave known JB Danquah.
