Inasmuch as this impersonation is bad for journalism, so is name calling, tagging, tribalism and ethnocentrism equally bad for whatever.

I really hope Dr. Okoampah Ahoofe now understands how things work.

Another congenital fool just like the hate-filled Akyim dog-eating Okoampah fool.

You said, in part:

"Well, the second giveaway of the author of the article titled "Nana Akufo Addo To Listen To Only Two Voices Out Of The Four" is that it glaringly lacks the characteristic "Seal" of the address of my academic and professional affiliation, that is, "Nassau Community College of SUNY," which appears on every article that I have written and published anywhere, except for my poetry and other works of art."

Why won't you attach your college's name to anything professional that you write but will do so for the garbage that is posted on Ghanaweb and elsewhere in cyberspace?

Which one will give you the recognition that you desperately need as a scholar (if you ever are one)?

Attaching your college's name to articles/poetry that you publish has more dignity than doing so on Ghanaweb where no serious-minded scholar goes for anything with which to give you credit.

How can this Akyim dog-eating rascal be so stupid? It is amazing the extent to which you can disgrace yourself.

I think a simple 'google' of the said article titled- "Nana Akufo Addo To Listen To Only Two Voice Out Of The Four" reveals the writer as ROCKSON ADOFO.

The article was posted on "Modern Ghana" homepage on the 25th January 2014, appeared on "Spy Ghana" on the same date, and then on "Ghanaweb" on the 26th January 2014.

LONTO-BOY, you're right. The article appears under the name of Adofo Rockson. Perhaps it was a genuine mistake on the part of some websites to attribute the article to Okoampa-Ahoofe.

Okoampa did not investigate the matter properly and rushed to print (as is his habit) when he could have easily seen that it was a mistake. In such a case, he should just have written to the webmasters concerned - modernghana, spyghana and ghanaweb to rectify the error. There is no need to write an article about this.

I don't think Adofo Rockson intended to impersonate Okoampa. He has no reason to. There is apparently no motive. Okoampa didn't consider that. They are both NPP fanatics.

Secondly, anybody trying to impersonate Okoampa will make, at least, a minimal effort to imitate his (Okoampa's) writing style. We see absolutely nothing of such in the said article.

A person who is trying to impersonate Okoampa will use some of the "big" words he uses so often. There are lots of examples to go by. He will use words like "carcinogenic", "emhpatically" "aforementioned", etc. Above all, an Okoampa impersonator must use "Needles to say" several times in an article that would be said to have been written by Okoampa.

Needless to say, none of these markers are found in the aforementioned article. Rather, there are many usages that cannot be associated with Okoampa. He has mentioned some himself. Others include the excessively lengthy title, the capitalisation of two-letter words like "to" and "of" and even "the" in the title,...

Moreover, Adofo himself made no attempt to hide his own markers - formulations that Okoampa never uses.

Okoampa "scholars" will never be deceived by the article.

Okoampa cannot genuinely claim that someone is trying to impersonate him. Even if someone is trying to impersonate him, the effort is so amateurish that the culprit needs not be taken seriously and even "honoured" with a disclaimer.

As for me, I think it was just a mistake.

Jones, you're absolutely right. I'm sure such error was an editorial mistake than someone[Rockson Adofo] trying to impersonate Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe. He has his unique literary expressions and style of writing.

GHANAIANS, READ THIS ABOUT THE UAE'S TRUE SUCCESS STORY WHILE GHANA, WITH ALL OUR ABUNDANT NATURAL RESOURCES, REMAINS A LIMPING BEGGER NATION 50 YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE!!!!!!

VERY TRUE STORY ABOUT THE UAE, 14TH MOST HAPPIEST NATION IN THE WORLD.

ASAMOAH GYAN "BABY JET" WILL LIVE TO TELL THE HAPPY TALE ABOUT HIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IN THE UAE.

READERS SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE UAE WAS A DESERT WASTELAND JUST ABOUT SOME 20 YEARS AGO.

By: Yasmine Hamdy

Emirates News Agency WAM reported on Sunday that the UAE is the happiest Arab country in the World and the 14th globally in the second United Nations World Happiness Report, quoting HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai on this occasion as saying:

UAE: always a reason to smile?

Dubai in top three ‘most improved’ cities

"Achieving happiness, welfare and dignified living for nationals and their families is the preoccupation of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This ranking would not have been possible without the efforts of sincere men, excellent teamwork and full coordination and integration between all local and federal government sectors.

"Our goal is to achieve the happiness of our people, and their satisfaction is the gauge of our success. All development plans that we approved, all initiatives that we launched and all the government policies and laws, have one common goal: achieving the happiness of our people. What we have already achieved is only the first stage, which will be followed by more work and achievements in order to become one of the world's best countries, God willing.

"Countries can only be built with happy and satisfied people. Happiness of individuals is only the start for a stable, productive and safe society. That is why relevant international organisations started to review the real yardstick for the success of governments and to increasingly focus on measuring the satisfaction and happiness of people as the main way towards sustainable development,"

HH highlighted the importance of embracing this criterion by all government officials, saying, "We gave directives to all government teams, during the recent Government Summit, that they should make their decisions and policies based on one goal, which is making society happy. No doubt happiness and satisfaction is something psychological for individuals, but the government's mission is to provide dignified living and welfare for its citizens, to make life easy for them as well as to create opportunities for them to achieve happiness for themselves and for their families. All this requires, among other things, joint efforts and policies and laws that are suitable for society, achieving security, justice and safety, taking care of underprivileged groups and the continuous development of infrastructure. This cannot be achieved without having clear-cut plans and excellent teams and taking the best advantage of the resources that are available to us.

HH Sheikh Mohammed finalized his great words adding:"We will continue forward to serve our country, achieve happiness for our sons and to invest all that we have to prepare people to make them able, strong, and skilled enough to achieve success. I say to all our people: be hopeful because we all overcame a lot of challenges in the past, and because our present is full of achievements, and our future is promising and is based on the highest ambitions" His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid concluded.

CULLED FROM MSN.COM

MY TAKE:

COMPARE THE UAE'S TRANSFORMATIVE HARDWORKING LEADERSHIP TO GHANA'S LAZY VISIONLESS FREELOADING CORRUPT LEADERSHIP, AND YOU'LL REALISE HOW USELESSLY HOPELESS WICKED AND CORRUPT GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE "LEADERS" ARE.

AS FOR GHANA'S 275 LAZY DUMB CORRUPT MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND THE GARGANTUAN NUMBER OF FREELOADING WICKED SUCCESSIVE PRESIDENTS AND PRESIDENTIAL STAFFERS, THE LITTLE SAID ABOUT THEM, THE BETTER.

I NOW REST MY CASE, BUT READ THE ABOVE ABOUT THE UAE AND ASK YOURSELVES THIS QUESTION:

ARE THE UAE LEADERS NOT AS HUMAN AND HUMANE AS THEIR GHANAIAN COUNTERPARTS?

NO WONDER MAHAMA AND HIS DUMB GHANAIAN ENTOURAGE WERE WELCOME THERE LIKE FOOLS BEGGING TO BE TAUGHT ON WAYS TO DEVELOP THEIR ECONOMIES FOR THE GOOD OF ALL GHANAIANS, INCLUDING THEMSELVES (GHANA'S DUMB CORRUPT VISIONLESS "LEADERS

Do you always have to say something, and do you really have to insult Okoampa all the time.

Offlate i hate seeing your comments because it is becoming too much and you are irritating.
What do you want from him. What has he done to you.
