According to J.K. Bokor's article to Ghanaweb 17.12.2015 captioned "The lessons that Amenfi West has taught us (Part 1)" ...the Amenfi West people are very stupid to have voted the NDC candidate in the current paliamentary by-election.

Bokor's insult can be taken from his 3rd paragraph that reads.:
"The people can sift the chaff from the grain. Those in the Amenfi West area know very well the issues at stake, especially the fact that they belong to the deprived segments of the population, that they do not have enough food on their tables, that they cannot pay high school fees to support their wards in schools, that they cannot pay high tariff rates, that they lack basic amenities like potable water, etc., etc. "

Bokor contradicts himself when he says he loves Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah because he appreciates the ideas of Nkrumah which implies that he understands Nkrumaism. For him to have written that "Those running around touting their Nkrumahist credentials are a sell-out. Is it Dr. Nduom (who went to bed with Nkrumah's arch-rivals just to have his bread buttered) or those in the mushroom parties parading as PNC. CPP, or GCPP?" tells me that he cannot distinguish a true Nkrumaist from a lipservice, opportunistic Nkrumaist. How can Bokor classify people like Nduom, Blay, and parties such as PNC, GCPP etc. as people or parties that follow the ideas of Nkrumah? For Bokor to suggest that NDC is a party that shares the ideology of Nkrumaism beats my imagination as well as that of true Nkrumaists like Samia Nkrumah.
The founder of NDC, Rawlings went against the axiom of Nkrumah which tells us that the army should not stay in power for more than two weeks if there is no alternative but to overthrow an elected government that has become despotic. The reason being that the army has no political mandate to rule a nation if it comes to power through the force of arms as Rawlings did and ruled for almost two decades.
Didn't the NDC fool Ghanaians that they have made arrangements to build a railway line from the Atlantic coast to Tumu years ago? This is just one of their numerous stupid lies.
Instead of Bokor hoping for a true Nkrumaist party to be formed and take power from the NDC or NPP which have no authentic ideology but rule by trial and error, he keeps on dragging Ghana backwards by suggesting that Ghanaians must settle for NDC as the lesser of two evils. The only reason he has is that, he abhors NPP which in fact, is nothing different from his NDC just as the Nana Akuffo Addo is no different from his John Mahama.
NDC can accept all those people whom are seen as Nkrumaists according to the gospel of Michael Bokor and it won't do any harm to true Nkrumaists because these people are mere traitors who like their fathers and mothers betrayed Nkrumah to bring Ghana to where we are now. If Bokor thinks Nkrumaism is dead, it is because he has lost his African personality and accepted that Ghana and Africa deserve to be in the situation that we are now and that Africans cannot rule their own destiny.

Bokor is a Nr.1 hypocrite and notorious nonentity who must be ignored and not be taken serious. He is writing all sorts of crap on behalf of the NDC party and John Mahama only to paid Money by the NDC.

Bokor is at the same time eyeing a position in the NDC government. We all know how these Ewe guys are when it comes to Money and position.

My friend, you are bothering yourself for nothing. I write because I love writing on issues that pique my interest.

Those of you who think that I am doing so because I am paid by the NDC or because I am eyeing an appointment in government are free to waste your time going that way.

I am a full-time Associate Professor at a reputable university and enjoy what I do. My involvement in national discourse about Ghana's development (challenges) is my chosen yeoman's job as a full-blooded Ghanaian who won't stay aloof from goings-on.

If you think that paying me for what I do is good, then, go and tell the NDC leaders and President Mahama to put me on their payroll.

If you have any way to grab an appointment in government for me, please, go ahead to wet the ground for me.

A writer writes on inspiration, not on the basis of a time-controlled rigid regimen. Issues don't crop up according to any timeline. They happen when they need to, and we have to pick on them for xcomment.

I draw on my training in journalism about "news" being defined on the basis of "timeliness". If you understand what it means, you will agree with me that writing copiously on issues shouldn't be tied to time lag.

I try to challenge myself by picking on topical issues and expressing my opinions on them when they are really "hot". For you, it may be a different approach. It is not so for me because I work on the principle of timeliness.

In our time particularly, many issues and events are tumbling over each other for attention. No need to tie anything to what you've suggested.

At least, I try to be active, even as I write to learn from my own efforts. I read comments passed by readers to guide me, brushing aside the trash from those ignorant ones who base everything on useless insults and not reason. They don't contribute anything for me to learn anything from, even if I read their trash to laugh over.

Yours is a good suggestion, but it won't work with me. If you don't want to read what I write, simply skip over it. Thanks all the same.
