With the gross mismanagement of Ghana by your people in the Notorious Demonic Cancer, you still find time to put this silly article. You are a big disgrace.

I usually keep away from commenting on the viewpoints of those commenting on my opinion pieces but yours really strikes me as intriguing. That is why I will say something about it for you and those thinking like you to know that I am nobody's poodle!!

Since I learnt how to write, I have made it a cardinal principle to insert myself into conversations about issues affecting me and fellow human beings. That is my main motivation for writing as I choose to do. I have my own style, which I use, regardless of whose ox I gore or who says that about what I write and how I write it.

Oh, how I wish that somebody will pay me for the hundreds of opinion pieces that I have written and had published by Ghanaweb and many other online portals!!

You see, people like you who cannot think properly always limit yourselves to pettiness as you've demonstrated here.

I have said several times that as a product of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, I will always make my voice heard on issues through my writing. I don't need anybody to pay me to do so. Go and find out, and you should be better informed.

I am gainfully employed as a scholar, teaching at a university in the United States and can survive without being supported by anybody wishing to pay me to write in favour of the government.

I am a political being and have the freedom to love and extol the values of the political front that I support. Nothing deters me from doing so.

And what is your beef about whatever direction the NPP party head towards?

Is it not enough to paint yourself as a typical Ewe?

An aged person of your calibre filled from head to toe with TRIBAL and PARTISAN hypocirsy?

Is it not stupid enough as a "so-claimed" PH.D. holder to disgrace yourself to the general public the way you are doing?

You just look at youself in the mirror and see if it is right for you to drag yourself in such a filt?

Better throw your pillow away and sleep without!

Ghana is sinking because of the iron hands (corruption) of the NDC and you dirty creature will keep on displaying madness about the ugly situation the Ghanaian people are going through.

Bokor! how old do you think you are?

Adjoa, I believe you rather need to eat a lot of fish head so as to have some proper brain in your head and stop writing this crap. When ever you come across Michael Bokor's articles, take your time and read it well and you will realize that the man writes a lot of logical articles. Are you lost in your mind and don't realize by now that all the recent strike actions in the country here and there are sponsored and paid for by the NPP (the Kulungugu Bomb Throwers) in order to make the country ungovernable. Unfortunately they are doing harm to the party than good because Ghanaians of today are not Ghanaians of yesterday - the people are getting more matured day by day and even a child born yesterday knows the nature of NPP. It is indeed a "Joker's Party"

Adjoa Wangara, you either did not read the entire article of Dr. Bokor or read without comprehension. There is nothing wrong with being a card-carrying member of the NDC, NPP or any other party and there certainly is nothing wrong with being an Ewe, a Fanti, Ashanti etc.

There is plenty wrong, however, with party leadership knee deep in spewing hate, talk a whole lot of nonsense and make references to examples which have no bearing on what it is they attempt to highlight. At the very least you, Ms Wangara must ask how the very EC which received much praise from NPP leaders for "successfully" organizing the NPP intra party election (flawed as it was rife with bribery, vote buying and not to mention a 100.01 percent participation) would be chastised by yep Wontumi of all people.

Who is Wontumi and where is the data card on his IQ that would make a party of Ghana's intellectuals nominate and elect him into leadership position? Yes Dr. Bokor could be or is an Ewe but the truth is this, and I dare you to check facts on Ghana's educated, and you may find that most of the intellectual in Ghana hail from the Volta region not from the populous Ashanti region, Eastern region or others. It hurts does it not Ms Wangana knowing that tribal zealotry cannot trump wisdom and or intellect.

If you won't comment on people who comment on your articles, especially people who make sensible comments on your personal views, then why continue writing to ghanaweb?

After all, nobody pays you for doing so and there is a free exchange of views here. One doesn't have to answer those who insult but people come here to make sensible comments.

You may advertise yourself as a "scholar" but you sure don't act as one. Being a product of Ghana Institute of Journalism is not, exactly, something to boast of... Those who went there in your day were those who couldn't get admission to the "normal" universities...

Kojo Tamakloe, it is true that in a democracy, every one has the right to talk. But it also means that everybody, including you, Kojo T, should be more discerning in whatever everyone else is saying.

The democratic right to express your views doesn't mean you should come up with jaundiced views all the time.

Kojo T, if you look at things more critically, you will observe that Bokor is not one the popular writers on ghanaweb. People perceive him as one-sided and all his attempts to sound impartial can easily be looked through. He set the tone for that with his very first article to ghanaweb some five years ago (which is not long ago given that ghanaweb has been around for 20 years and before that there was ghanareview) entitled: The NPP is a Threat to Ghana's Democracy. His subsequent articles have been in the same vein and he has written a few hundreds in the short time that he's been on ghanaweb. Only Okoampa and Adofo have written more articles than him.

So Kojo T, be more critical and discerning when you read the numerous voices that the practice of democracy enables.

Mike, even if you are a mouthpiece, to put it more decently, of the NDC, what is so abhorrent and distasteful about that? It is your constitutionally protected right to say exactly what interests or ails you.

Now, for those NPP brainiacs who draw parallels between our political system and that of our northern neighbor...Burkina Faso....they should be ashamed of themselves for this inexplicable demonstration of abject ignorance. Aren't they aware of our nation's constitutional firewalls against dictatorship or are they just fanning the flames of hatred? Obviously, there are those in the NPP who wish the NDC would be swept out of power through the barrel of a gun. But they should be absolutely careful what they wish for because any attempt to forcefully remove any elected government, be it the NPP or NDC will not be countenanced by the people of Ghana or the wider world...

How incredible? Bokor will go down as the only serial NDC writer who is not a bonafide beneficiary of the syndicated mass looting of the currently governing NDC where common serial callers are on salary and can even threaten a demonstration for higher incentives. See " NDC Serial callers To Demonstrate--- SpyGhana, Feb 12, 2014". How original! If to be gainfully employed is an antidote or a panacia to the never ending or insatiable gluttony/greediness of NDC sympathisers, then, the coining of the phrase " Greedy Bastards" by the sole Trokosi Founding Father would have been irrelevant in our local parlance.
Now, isn't it better to part of a "Concert Party" than to be a champion of corruption, incompetence and a sympathiser of the NDC create-and-share 'looting brigade'? What Chairman Wontumi said is simply the fear and reiteration of what is on the minds of many discerning a Ghanaian. Wontumi's problem is that he is sometimes emotionally sentimental but that does not sweep the obvious truth under the carpet. If Ghana dies we all go down with it. You can continue to campaign for corruption if somebody's foul mouth is a substitute for good governance.

No day passes by without their issuing empty and useless threats here and there or without their fouling the air and disturbing our peace of mind with threats. By their petulant and misguided utterances, they draw more ire than goodwill toward their cause.

Dr Bokor, I can't get enough of your sensible coherent writings.

NPP is mad because, there's no way their tribal Ashanti/Akyem political can have the chance to use deplomatic passports to sell drugs.

Amoateng is the one who had a bad luck but most of the were in that diabolical business neck deep.

But Dr I want you to sound this alarm quickly before it becomes too late and that's Akufo Addo will do anything and I mean everything with money to come to power because, he knows this is the last chance for him.

If even within his own party he couldn't wait to see the election to be casted fairly and bribed all the delegates. What do you think he will not do to either some of the electoral commission workers or some of the NDC polling agents. He will go at any length to see that he will recoup all that he spent to come this far.

The man has sold all the properties his father finagled Ghana for him Akufo Addo so, he is looking for a means to do same for his family before he leave.

NPP is a party nobody is welcome into it except if you'er an Ashanti or Akyem. You are disrespected as an obnoxious intruder if you'er not one of the aforementioned tribe and you affiliate with them.
You'er insulted if you'er an opposition.
With this mentality how can a party of this nature win an election amongst sane people.

They don't see other tribes as obnoxious intruders and don't insult party members if you have a different opinion.

Ewes sees party members as brothers and sisters!!!

I don't know what Bawumia is doing in that tribal party!!!

That's the complete difference between the Ashanti/Akyem NPP and the Ghanaian peoples party called NDC.

If the NPP is "inward looking" because it cant see past Ashantis and Akyems, then know that the phrase inward-looking was in the Ghanaian lexicon long before we even heard of the NPP. Who was it and still applied to? Nonsense!

That fat bastard founder of your party was so filled with inferiority complex that he went after those Ashanti-Akyem you speak of.

Dr Bokor, I wish to commend you for the able manner you always lay bear sensitive issues affecting our country. In fact, I was taken aback when I read that outburst from Antwi-Boasiako.

It is always worrying to hear NPP leaders and supporters creating the impression that all the elections they lost were stolen but those they won were genuine. This kind of mindset could one day lead to electoral violence in Ghana if care is not taken.

Mr Antwi-Boasiako bribed his way into NPP leadership by presenting his personal property to the party just before the conference which elected him as the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP. His benevolence to the party surely influenced the delegates in their voting pattern.

Those who have parted with money or what have you would not tolerate the NPP losing election 2016. Mr Antwi-Boasiako's statement about the EC is a way of preparing the minds of Ghanaians so that in the event of the NPP losing election 2016, they can use the EC as an excuse to foment trouble in the country.

This should be of concern to all well-meaning Ghanaians. Everything humanly must be done to straightened all the rough edges before and after the 2016 election so that whoever comes out as the vanquished would not have any cause to cry foul.

You are at it again with your hatred of the NPP. Nobody is so stupid as to join you at Facebook or your e-mail address so you can forget. It will be shear waste of ones precious time. You said something about Wontumi and his remarks on Bukinas Coup d'etat. The founder of your party,NDC, is an expert on coups and extermination of innocent Ghanaians so you can ask him anytime he fills INSECURE to live in Ghana; cos if NPP is interested in coups and want to KILL anybody, then your party founder, would have been the nr .1 on the list since he has blood on his hands. But we will rather let him live to see how a Nation is RULED peacefully without envy and stupid talks and LOOTING of national assets and appointment of useless Ministers who do NOT know how to make anything function in the system, but "i de bii keke", and just squander every money that comes into the STATE coffers. I hope you are very pleased with how the STATE of affairs is going on in GHANA TODAY. Foolishman,and if you have any advise, it is your party and your government that you should direct it to. BE VERY AFRAID cos, you people should NOT think about 2016 at all your tricks have all come to an end. Ghanaians are NO fools and Nana Addo may be a pee wee, but wait and see when he accends the Presidency,and the WONDERS that he will perform for "EVEN YOU" to marvel."CONCERT PARTY"?, my foot.
