But even community college teachers have some work to do to earn their keep. He must prepare for his lessons, teach those lessons, grade student papers, supervise students, attend faculty meetings, present papers at academic conferences some of which take place outside the US, take part in some non-academic work in connection with the college, etc. He may also be on the boards of some academic journals which means he must read papers sent to him and write comments to such.

Then his private life must also take some of his time - eating, sleeping, laundry, doind the dishes (I take it his wife cooks) time with family and friends, some exercise, etc. He is a creative writer too and he must have meetings with his editors, give readings, sign his books, answer fan mail, etc. How does he still get the time to write articles ON A DAILY BASIS on petty Ghanaian politics happening thousands of miles away from him? How does he just manage it?

Get lost you Nana Addo worshipper. You cannot even appreciate reason. You admit in your past letters that Nana Addo may not be the most winnable candidate and yet you want to chastice others for explaining why he is not. Nana is a weak candidate and that is why he loses and the delegates are fast changing. You will be shocked in Dec or even before.

Tweaa, there is NO letter "Q" in the "Akan language", so where did your family-man Dr Danquah get his "fake"
spelling from, as the Doyen of Akan Tradition?

We don"t need any lectures from the "Wily Akyem Teacher" on Ghanaian politics.It is rather like being lectured by "Tutu ni baa" on the sanctity of marriage. Kwame,keep your sound advice firmly shut in America.

I hardly understand or get the import of the numerous articles written by this so called professor of english, even as a semi litereate. How much more would our brothers and sisters who could not finished JHS or never stepped a foot in a classroom, if this character and his likes are made to sell the campaign messages of our party to the electorates. As a matter of fact, it will amount to the diminishing of the face value of the NPP, and also the dwindling of our electoral fortunes as we have seen after Kuffour"s exit.
Seriously, NPP have been hijacked by characters whose disregard for diplomacy, wise counselling, and well carved strategies, are nailing our GREAT PARTY TO PERPETUAL OPPOSITION , because for them, THERE SHOULD BE NO NPP WITHOUT NANA AS LEADER AND FLAG BEARER, thus their mantra, "NO NANA, NO VOTE". Can you believe that! SERIOUSLY, we need to restructure and reverse the party from turning into FAMILY AND FRIENDS RENDEAVOUS, BACK TO THE NPP THAT WAS, ONCE UPON A TIME, BUILT ON CONCENSUS.
HOW GOOD IS AN EDUCATED, VISIONARY, INTELLIGENT, CAPABLE, AND A PARTY DEVOTEE POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT APPEAL TO MAJORITY OF THE VOTING POPULATION. NOTHING!!!!!

Mr. or PHD Ahoofe why are you so myopically tribalistic that you dont seem to understand the implications of what you write as far as the chances of Nana Addo winning the elections is concerned. Let me tell you that Nana won most of and I say again "gargantually" most of his votes from Ashanti with average votes from his own Eastern. The worst of it was from his own Akyem areas. That arrogance of you and your irk is what is causing so much problem for NPP. Kuffour is a hero in Ashanti and you besmear him at the peril of Nana and his prospects of becoming the next president of Ghana. Who told you Kuffuor and his associates are peddling UNC as Akyem party. Pride goes with fall. Iam sorry to say you are a discgrace to academia with your tribalistic and divisive articles. I dont think Nana endorses these your parochial and uneducated writings. You better put an end to it.

Yours is a goo advice but that is not what Okoampa is looking for. Tell him to dig many holes for Akuffo Addo and he (Okoampah) will say, "Thank You"

How many votes did Akuffo Addo get from Akyem in 2008 and again in 2012?

This guy is quick to bash Asantefo oblivious of the fact that his Dad Akuffo Addo would need most of the Asante vote to reach his usual 47.9%.

Akuffo Addo will NEVER EVER be a president of anything in Ghana PERIOD!!
