Bokor, you are not a master of your craft! You identify a cruel problem in benign narratives. Show as much revulsion as you did when you wrote those Kpegalized essays on Akufo-Addo.
These days you have come to terms with what some of us have been saying all along: the NDC is a bunch of idiots, tribalists, and incompetent nation wreckers!
Surprisingly, instead of your Ewe tin-god, JJ Rawlings, speaking to Mahama's childish and clueless policies, he prfers to attack Kufour. Of course, Rawlings knows that his almost 20-year rule was eclipsed by Kufour's 8-year rule in terms of achivement. Don;t let politics color your writings. Speak to the prismatic misrule of John Mahama. His presidency is going down as the worst in Ghana's history.

Thanks for your comment. I have no regrets for writing about the issues raised by Justice Kpegah against Akufo-Addo.
In the numerous opinion pieces on those issues, I didn't hide anything regarding my stance. I still am not persuaded that the matter should be swept under the rug. Extensive investigations that I did on my own (with particular reference to what happened at the Middle Temple regarding Akufo-Addo and his stature thereafter) keep me informed and persuaded that he has questions to answer. Whether he will do so now or later is in the womb of time; but it has dire consequences for him, even as he persists in seeking the highest office of the land.
The zeal with which the Judiciary in Ghana has prevented the Kpegah suit from being heard speaks volumes. Please, don't bore me with cliches like "lack of merit" or "obnoxious". These are vulgarities blurted out by those who have something to hide and seek refuge in legal technicalities and terminologies.
I wonder how those of you who accuse me of hating Akufo-Addo on that score really think and feel. I have no doubt that if the matter is heard, ignorant people like you will get to know what you have missed all this while. I don't intend to flog that dead horse and will continue to probe into issues to ensure that even after paying our dues to Nature, what has been hidden under the rug all this while will be brought into the open for us to know who is lying or who is not. So much for this issue.
Now, to your point on my support for the Mahama administration and your concern that I haven't criticized it that much. I have only one response: only narrow-minded people will hold that opinion. I have taken on this administration in diverse ways to suggest that it is faltering and alienating the citizens as it fails to implement efficacious policies to "grow" the economy and improve living conditions. Read more closely my opinion pieces and you should know better than what you've displayed here.
Of course, writing on issues involving personalities and ideas entails a lot that Ghanaweb cannot sufficiently enable us to do.
The conversation goes on...

I religiously followed your rantings about Akufo-Addo. The only diference is that Kpegah sought to satisfy the infrastrure of his empty stomach. Your write-ups, for their part, were woven into the warp and woof of Ewe identity vis as Akans.
Indeed, most of the stuff you wrote about Akufo-Addo didn't cut muster at all. My university's sudent-patronized newspaper wouldn't have published your essays simply because you lack objectivity and balance.
Your Ewe evangelical tribalist project was thrown out by the court simply becuase it sounded like you and Kpegah were children chasing bats at 37 Military Hospital in the daytime.
In fact, less amusing was when you vacated this place for a while when the vedict came and when it came to light that Kpega was just promoting his senility, not his sensibilities.
To sum up, all that you said about Akufo-Addo smack of a disgraceful lapse into "tribalism." anyway, you didn't make a dent in Akufo-Addo's image.
When you write about the NPP and Akans, you foam with vitriol. Whwn you write about NDC, JJ, Mahama you primary school-laden metanarratives sanitize such. And that is my point, not that you have asked questions about the NDC, Mahama, and JJ, you tin-god.

I don't think you read over your comment to ensure that it really has the tack to help you counteract my stance. Too many illogical instances and incomprehensible mix-ups. Language use problems and many more that make it difficult for me to know exactly what you are trying to say to rebut my stance. I am no tribalist and will not dignify your drivel with anything more than what I have said. Enjoy your own cacophony. Bye.

Look at you! Dr SAS will get you! Of course, mine was just a burst of a language-dam reckless unleashed in the moment of drought.
Of all the PhDs who write here you are the least sophisticated. Bokor when we talk about crafting ideas, yours is the is the least comeprehensible and lacks the magnetic allure of great thinkers. In fact, as I have pointed out time and again, your writings lack philosphical underpinnings and an ability to negotiate new ideas. You just report and even then you miscue details and your writing craft is nothing to home about. You can only write on Ghanaweb; in fact, no peer-review journal will publish your work.

Dr. Bokor is a scholar of language in a class of his own; you Akadu Mensema, are a novice struggling for mechanical accuracy in trite and simplistic sentences. If you lived for a million years, you will not measure up to Dr. Bokor!
So, you are well advised to begin gravitating toward Dr. Bokor's scholarship and present objectivity, instead of subsuming same in the bunker of your hereditary bigotry.

Dr. SAS, a few weeks ago you stupidly insinuated that Bokor attained his PhD in his declining years! Good fact. What about you? You gained your law degree from some backyard law school in your early 60s. Tell the world about any peer-reviewd work that Michael Bokor has published. The guy can't even write good English! I hear you tutored him when he was at CapeVas! Then again, today, CapeVas has attained dignity of its own, not 30 years ago when transferred from a training college to CapeVas. Here, I am only repeating your grand nonsense!

Dear My Good Friends,
I have read both of your exchanges with rapt attention. Certainly we all love Ghana, our dear country, as both of you have palpably demonstrated in your various write-ups.
However, the most essential question, as I see it, is the approach of critique we deplore against bad leadership and political incompetence.
Further, each of you has his or her own peculiar language of critique and ideological idiosyncrancies, which, again, from a personal angle, I believe, even arguably, complement each other in our collective critique of our national leaders on the question of misgovernance.
Therefore, we should not allow the subtleties and nuances in our peculiar languages of critique to overshadow the moral task of bettering the material living standard of the people on whose behalf we speak.
In other words, political differences, superficial or abysmal, should rather serve as a bridge to intellectual unity in the collective interest of national development.
Thus, please, Dr. Mansema and Dr. Bokor, I will advise that we debate each other with brotherly and sisterly love, with dignity, and with remarkable playfulness.
Again, please, let us not allow these intellectual exchanges to degenerate into verbal acrimony and name-calling, for we the younger ones look up to you.
Meanwhile, both of you are intelligent leaders and beautiful writers on Ghanaweb and, therefore, I, for one, will like it to see those admirable qualities of yours remain as such.
Besides, Dr. Michael Bokor is one of my capable mentors and you, Dr. Akadu Mansema, have constructively been critiquing some of the controversial topical questions I have explored in my write-ups. I take to your constructive critiques though I do no expressly say so. Let us work together in the spirit of unity and love.
I hope I am right. I love you two dearly.
Thanks.

Refining crude oil, as the movie below would show, is very intricate, and reinforces what I had been saying all along: technological knowledge supersedes mere possession of natural resources.
(By the way, the likes of the movie below exemplify what should be included in the teaching of chemistry, particularly Organic and Physical Chemistry. The movie brings together many of the concepts taught in a rather dry manner in the university lecture rooms).

There are crises all over the place due to incompetence. We move from one crisis to another and forget the former. There are no comprehensive solutions to any of our problems. Everything is ad-hoc.
