  Let us not be fooled into ignoring the true motives and intentions of JJ's so called uprisings as the truth is evident upon reflection with wisdom and a just heart. It was nothing but a dubious plan and insidious agenda motivated by tribalism and hatred of the Akans . This is the greatest tragedy and the reason why the country can never develop, as long as the undercurrent of all political activity is the hatred and exclusion of everything Akan there can never be true unity and peace of mind . We now have generations of youth in absolute poverty who will never know what a job that can sustain a family is , brainwashed into thinking the perverse lies of this ndc are the right moral standards of the day, yes buga buga tactics designed to break the spirit of a free nation . They say we are only angry but the fact remains this was a tribal war still continuing against the Akans , you will never hear JJ mention the corrupt EWE such as woyome , segbefia and tsikata but rather any Ashanti public or private is the enemy and criminal and his follows will add drug barons . He will never see the evil corruption of his allies in this backstrabbing war against the Akans the northerners and other minorities such as the Gas. Without proof or the need to respect the law and human rights of the accused he will judge and execute innocent Akans into jail or death , even his long time traitor friend Mills was not good enough because he was Fanti and therefore not motivated enough to hate his brothers the Ashantis or npp. Forbes has put the mahamas in the list of being one of the most corrupt family in the country and Africa but JJ and the NDC are blind to this fact and obviously have succeeded in bribing our so called opposition NPP into compliance of the ongoing crimes . JJ , WHERE IS YOUR COUP NOW IN SWEEPING AWAY THIS CORRUPT GOVT ,is it because its now your ayigbe and pepeni who are now the one's stealing ?

  But for the Dagbon conflict, kuffuor himself know that his government came to eliminate one of the powerful kings we had in Ghana including the one in Keta to make Asante King only important as part of his akan tribalism agenda.
  
  Your article also vindicates Your worse enemy, JJ RAWLINGS which make you shoot yourself in the foot.
  
  
  But it is all good. You are telling some truths here because of your bias and political affiliation and loyalty with your uncle Akuffo Addo who clearly is facing strong opposition or dislike from the other side, you know what l mean.

  So who will your article about tomorrow? Have you already written it?
  
  How do you do it, Okoampa? Do you note down all those you want to write about and then tick them off as you finish an article on each? Or you go through the Ghanaian web sites and write an article immediately you finish reading the article to which you're reacting, and then go on to do the same for the next article?
  
  When do you do your writing? Is it in the mornings when you wake up or just before you retire to bed? Do you do any writing when you are on the train on your tablet?
  
  Is there anytime you don't have anything to write on or is so that you have so many things to write about and can hardly get time to write them all?
  
  How many articles do you write a day? I guess you're as productive on other forums as you are on ghanaweb.
  
  How many minutes does it take you to finish off a typical article to ghanaweb?
  
  Do you get lots of fan mail?
  
  Thanks for your answers. I could've interviewed you personally but I don't live in the US.

  This man is a psycho. His relation Akufo-Addo can never and will never reach the heights of President Kufuor. Your Akufo Addo has hijacked the NPP and reduced it to a two region political party. Nonsense!

  Come on, come off your high horse; Kufuor had twenty years of Rawlings's gross mismanagement of the economy, and yet could not gain a one-touch victory on then-Candidate Atta-Mills. The first round of the election was 48-percent for Kufuor and 44-percent for Atta-Mills. Does this read like a landslide?
  
  Have you forgotten how an incompetent Rawlings beat his former local government house-help by something like 60-percent to barely 30-and-odd-percentage points at the polls?
  
  Come on, Kufuor was good, compared to Rawlings, Atta-Mills and Mahama. We don't not yet that Akufo-Addo would under-perform. This nonsense about Akufo-Addo's having reduced Kufuor's gain from eight regions to ten regions is sheer malarkey;Kufuor did not campaign for Akufo-Addo the way Akufo-Addo had twice campaigned for Kufuor. Instead, Mr. Kufuor was stereotypically promoting his homeboy. Do you take Ghanaians for fools?

  "Mr. Kufuor could establish the Dagbon Chieftaincy And Conflict-Resolution Commission (DCCRC) and vigorously work towards finding a lasting solution for the Dagbon crisis, if he sincerely feels so strongly about the same". Prof, under what authority will ex-President Kufuor set up your proposed commission?
  
  Are you aware that Kufuor established the Wuaku Commission on the Dagbon conflict but failed to implement the main recommendations or should I say, your blood relative and Kufuor's Attorney General and Minister for Justice at the time, Nana Akufo-Addo made a mess of prosecuting those who were found culpable for the murder of the Ya Na and displaying his body parts?

  Off course, Kufuor was busy tracking and chassing Rawlings, his number one ennemy, using all the state apparatus to hunt and kill him whenever a chance is permitted. Not knowing that Rawlings is not my oncle Gen E Kotoka who the ashantis killed like a dog for simple raison of liberating them from N'Krumah so called attrocities.

  Fellow Perscoba, I guess I meant an institute, rather than a statutory organization. Well, you can blame Akufo-Addo, but Kufuor's language on this occasion referred to Yendi/Dagbon as if it was a discrete territory of its, and not integral to the geopolitical boundaries of Ghana.
  
  The fact of the matter is that Kumasi, where Mr. Kufuor was born, is far closer to Dagbon than Kyebi. The truth must be told.
  
  For instance, when then-President Kufuor was accused by one of the parties, or Dagbon gates, to conflict of being partially vested, Mr. Kufuor pooh-poohed the accusation that Dagbon was too dirt poor for him to be ideologically vested or partial to any one of the parties.
  
  The fact of the matter is that, it was still Kufuor's government, and not Akufo-Addo's; he could have removed Akufo-Addo (as he allegedly did in the case of Tstatsu Tsikata) and put a more efficient person (maybe Alan Kyerematen) in the Attorney-General's Office to resolve the Dagbon conflict.
