Bokor, the man posted the article here yesterday. If you have something to say about it, why didn't you comment immediately under it so that the writer and others discuss it immediately?

Why do you have to go and write another long essay on Asante's short piece?

Is it because you have nothing better to do?

You might wish that Bokor had the proprietary right for Ghanaweb so he could immediately respond to such drivel from KB Asante and immediately publish it on Ghanaweb, right?

Ho can some of you be so stupid?

I don't know what you're saying apart from your insult.

This article appeared here yesterday. Borkor should've come down to the comments section and given us his thoughts. But he feels too superior to those who write in the comments section to join them. He doesn't want to jump with us common spirits. So he goes home to write another feature article.

Who says opinions can be expressed only in feature articles?

Bokor doesn't come down to take part in the discussion OF HIS OWN ARTICLES. instead he goes home to write another article. Then he says join me on my Facebook page to discuss the article.

Who does he want to follow him to his Facebook article? If you don't want to discuss your article on ghanaweb, why post it on ghanaweb? Why not just post it on your Facebook page?

This chichidodo attitude is appalling.

And Mohammed MAIGA, you don't need any proprietary rights to write comments to articles on Ghanaweb in the discussion side. The rights to do that are open - just as you have used it to call someone else a fool and stupid only because you failed to understand what the person has written!

Ghana became a Banana republic through the barbaric and corrupt bastard Ewe, J.J. Rawlings.

There is no hard and fast rule about when to write rejoinders or comment on articles posted on Ghanaweb or elsewhere, so drop your quarrel.

Nana, you're right that there are no fast rules about writing comments.

But the point is that Bokor writes articles to ghanaweb almost on a daily basis. When have you seen him COME DOWN to the forum to engage in the discussion of his own articles? He never does that because he feels superior to those of us, like you and I, who are on the forum discussing issues. He prefers to stand above us and preach to the rest of us without deigning to answer people who raise genuine criticisms about his arguments.

Instead, he goes home to write another long article.

Even Okoampa, at times, comes down to respond to issues people raise. SAS, SARPONG, Akadu, Pryce and a few others always come down to the forum to discuss some of the issues raised by their own articles. But not Bokor. You can admire SARPONG for one thing: he's always there to respond to people who comment his articles. He doesn't tell them to come to his Facebook page to discuss the article.

If Bokor doesn't like commenting his articles on ghanaweb, and those of others, why does he post them there? Why doesn't he post them on Facebook only?

Justin, you need to be tolerant and respect someone's style. Bokor's style is to write long articles and ignore forums and he is entitled to that. You may have a diffewrent style

Period

Mr Asante was right ok many issues he raised. I found the behavior of the Israeli security as cruel just like the way they are treating the Palestinians on their own land. That sort of foolish attitude must not be extended to ghana and tolerated. Israel is treacherous state with a lot of blood on their hands. The article is therefore nonsense loaded with rubbish.

A Bana Republic! The name seems irritating, but on the other hand you will admit that there is no real manufacturing in Ghana, no real adding Value, etc.. All we do is export Raw materials and natural resources in order to pay for imported goods from China and others... The inflation of the GHC is no miracle, it`s self made destruction!

What Mr. Asante obviously simply wanted to express is, that they wouldn't have dared to act like this, if they respected Ghanaians as peers.

They wouldn't have acted like that in, let's say, Germany or England (where I am citizen to).

And German or English delegational members would in all likelyhood not have acted like this in Ghana.

And you are here telling us, Ghanaians should accept this arbitrary haughtiness as the new status quo.

Mr. Bokor. As intelligent as you are, you could not decipher the difference between a statement and a question. Please refer to KB's caption again. He posed a question as to if Ghana is becoming a Banana Republic. And his question was based on an incident that has transpired. You live in England i suppose, yet your thought is sub par to engage in any intellectual discourse. Your rumblings sounds like effusions of someone who cannot put his thoughts into any coherency. Your points are scattered with any rhyme or reason. Please do us a favor and stop posting such articles. It is a waste of time for many of us looking for some intellectual enlightenment. and if you still believe in that crap about monkeys playing by sizes in international politics, then you are wasting your time over there in London. Cos your thoughts defy any logical reasoning. You must be looking for some position in the NDC thats why you keep coming to their defense even in the face of undeniable facts.Or better still you might be wanting to compete with Okoampa who doesn't write anything better either.

The so-call Dr Bokor need to understood that everyone is entitle to his or her understanding,views and perspective of observing things.This is what science call the theory of relativity,different views and opinions as one see things.The arrest and detain of the journalist whose condition is well known to both Ghana security operators and Isreali security service and Graphic and journalist all over Ghana fail to condemn such atrocity and barbaric act of cowardness known for sure that the poor journalist is assign to do his job.Dr K.B.Asanti is right and want to know if our security is weak or simply they do not know what they doing or understood the nature of their job or duties to let or allow foreign security to come and dictate to them.Isn't Dr K.B.Asanti right Ghana is"Banana Republic"?Dr Bokor there is a saying that"He who knows know not"The question if the Isreali security has shot and kill the journalist what will be you reaction since Ghana is not "Banana Republic"in your opinion.

You're right Mr Asante: Ghana is not a Banana Republic but rather a Republic of Corruption and Thieves. Is it better? Welcome to the Republic of Corruption and Thieves, Ghana. This is what should greet our visitors at our Airport, Ports and Boarders because it is a true description of Ghana. The truth hurt but it must be told.
