Fellow Ghanaians
Ahoofe is supine Nazi propagandist. His writings are coterie of paranoid hatred. Good nite Ahoofe! A Happy New Year to you from a Ghanaian Jew, Dr. Bokor. Dr. Bokor you are a plain spoken man. This is brilliant. This uggly dog, Ahoofe with a dirty face, a fat nose and a sausage lip has now been placed on a notice. It is a shame that this dog has been teaching English to jail-birds in the US.
Ahoofe appeals to his prejudices, emotions, and special interest rather than to the intellect or reason, as by attacking one's opponents rather than debating the issues.
What a sad New Year for Ahoofe!
So long and good nite Ahoofe!

How shameful! Bokor attacking a co-columnist Kwame Okoampa Ahoofe all because he is better than Bokor.
J.K. Bokor, the NDC paid columnist is now stooping deeply low for attacking Okoampa without any tangible reason. The useless Ewe has forgotten that Ahoofe can write about what he feels just as the hypocrite Bokor who in his own comment some weeks ago said he is free to write about anything he feels like writing irrespective of what others think.
Now the same foolishman thinks he has the right to attack Dr. Kwame Okoampa Ahoofe. That is exactly how pirimitive some Ewe folks are.

The Primitive Ewe, J.K. Bokor is obviously envious of Okoampa-Ahoofe all because Okoampa has written more than 1000 (opinion)articles with (A/1) excellent English Grammatical, while the envious Ewe, J.K. Bokor has written not more than 600 opinion pieces with difficulties in the articulation of his sentences and paragraphs. It is sometimes difficult to understand what J.K. Bokor writes because he writes articles with deviation owing the his tribal and partisan background of most of his pieces. He sometimes to amalgamates his write up with meaningless gargantuan words which in most cases render his articles senseless.
In a nutshell Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe is far better than J.K. Bokor hence his enviousness and useless attack, but then it is no wonder because that is a clear habit of most Ewe people. I know what I am saying because I am an Ewe myself.

As a matter of fact, we all know this clown as the most dirtiest tribal bigot, mother Ghana has got to deal with. His useless gullible bush rats are always behind him, urging him to insult Ewes for no apparent reasons. Meanwhile, like you rightly said, he has an Ewe blood in him, and he is married to an Ewe woman from Abutia. So, you have to ask yourself if the brain in this guys skull is functioning well. Dr. Bokor, we discerning. Ghanaians who read your pieces know very well how important you are. Who is Okoampah? Not knowing, he is teaching in such a low grade school. Curse and curse will forever be on this man, and indeed, his generations for as long as he has a diabolic evil machinations against the whole of the Ewe tribes. His end is just around the corners. Continue with your write ups and don't lower yourself for such a clown animal like this useless tribal bigot. He is doing his tin god, Nana Addo, more harm than good.

You're absolutely wrong in urging Dr Bokor not to respond to Ahoofe, the lunatic. It is like telling man whose wrapper a mad man constantly take while he is the bath-house not to take any action to stop the nuisance. The fact that wisdom dictates that you shouldn't come out of the bath-house naked to chase after him doesn't mean that there is nothing you can do to stop the scoundrel. Dr Bokor has just done such a thing!
I can deduce that you are an "Ewe". I really find pathetic and docile Ewes who advocate that we should leave the mentally warped and bigoted Akans who make it their ordained duty to rein insults, demonisation and vilification on we Ewes. When I first posted my counter-biting "These Akans", my snr brother rang early morning with a msg. He claimed he was called aside by some family members who read the piece and told that the Akans had been insulting us since the days of our grandfathers, and so I should leave them alone. Besides, they were bad people and might do me something! I was outraged and gave him a tongue blast and called them all the cowardly names in the book! I asked him whether people were not warning him about the "dangerous" Oil Mafia and someone sent to London by govt to do Masters in Oil and Gas laws even searched for him while on a visit to Ghana and warned him about the Oil Mafia, simply because a lecturer discussed one of his articles in class and pronounced him as right on all counts and lamented about what was happening to Ghana? He said yes! But have you stopped writing against the oil companies? No, he said. I made he see reason why we must not fold our arms while some jaundiced Akans daily demonise us in social media, radio, etc. You're inviting genocide upon your head if you adopt the way of the ostrich! I have 9-part series on ice for many years now. Just prepare yourselves for its release. You'd read all about how it came about that Ahoofe's great-grandfather, who also followed the Akyem Gen., Dompey, to Weme to fight against the Asante-led slave raid and plunder invasion of that area married a daughter of a Kwadwo Dei of Peki and became a settler in Peki until Ahoofe's father married a woman from Akyem. Yes, why Ahoofe targets "Anlo-Ewes" in particular with constant vitriol, as if they were the main protagonists in that invasion that contributed in no small measure to start the Sagrenti War.

You are a grandiose evil man. Your writings have poisoned the Ghanaweb landscape. How could a short Roman sandals wearing Homo like you be so consumed by hate? Your declared pronoucements here on us border on race superiority.
Sarpong, how did hate get so far in you to torment you? I cannot attempt to provide answers to your bizarre writings. In my thinking, you are tribal by nature and being clannish is part of your heritage.
Indeed, Sarpong you are a demagogue and you make your readers feel their tribal identity is treatened by me and my people. In all, intense hate serves as a common fuel to every hue of evil in you.
Bokor is a true son, born in the Providence of God and not you or your tribal hordes can take that away from him.
You and your Ghanaweb ilks call us scoundrels, parasites, swindlers, and profiteers.
We are said to be foreigners, aliens, who only enjoy the right of a guest, rights that you claim we abuse in Ghana.
You call me and my people Trokosi but this name calling will ran off us like a water off a raincoat.

Two persons, whether intellectual or not, can go head to head on a specific issue. They can even hate each other but if they are wise, mature and "really intellectual", they will leave the personal out of their public "fights".
Some of us don't believe that the best method of responding to your opponents is to adopt the same methods that he uses to attack you. A mature person will show better sense by rising beyond the petty insults and concentrate on substance alone.
Bokor says he has written 600 opinion pieces. Okoampa has written more than a thousand. Perhaps that is part of the problems of each of them. They are writing soooo many opinion pieces that they don't spend enough time to properly think of the things they write about. I personally find both of them often making shallow arguments. Bokor explains it by claiming he spends only 30 minutes on his pieces and he knows he is writing for ghanaweb (a non-academic forum) which is a sort of disrespect for the people who come to the forum.
Maybe if the two of them wrote less, and boast less of their achievements, they would be able to put more meat in their articles.
As for the charge of tribalism, some of us choose not to use the crude methods that the ignorant ones use to attack others to respond to them. People like Okoampa are incorrigible in their tribal hatreds. So you leave such people to stew in their own hatreds.
But a sense of maturity means that no matter how hot the battle becomes, one does not get personal!!!

Bokor has the right to support whatever party he likes and to not like Akufo-Addo but he must back whatever side he takes with concrete and well argued points based on solid facts. This is where I find him falling short often.
And when he goes on about being a teacher of writing, a long time commentator for GNA, his being this and that, then I want to see that reflected in his writing. But it's not.
Okoampa is the one who shows hatred of Ewes and thinks his Akyem people are superior to others. And he's been saying such things long before Bokor started writing for ghanaweb. But Okoampa is a case and the best way to treat him is to IGNORE him, not come down to his level and get personal about things.

I just hope nobody even more so the decent rational good people of Ghana pay attention to the write ups of either for all they're trying to achieve is to throw our already ailing and struggling country into anarchy.
I wonder why despite the hype about the two's educational status they boast of and take the rest of us as fools or uneducated,they don't come up with any suggestion or ideas positively to help the country out of it's doordromms.
The question I like to pose to all readers of these two's write ups on this forum or elsewhere is what good or positive impact do their constant childish disturbances do to the progress and development of this country (Ghana).
The two are a threat to the peace and stability of our country and it's about time the good people of Ghana see them as such and stop them in their vile devilish tracks.
Bokor even goes to the extend of attacking and insulting poor innocent Ghanaians who have travelled outside the country to seek a living due to lack of opportunity in their country of birth irrespective of the skills,potentials or qualifications they pocess.
Why does he do that?Because they disagree with him in his one sided,misleading and inflammatory write ups.
As for the same Bokor accusing Okuampa and others of tribalism,the least said about it the better for if he's aware of his own words,he needs no reminder who is more guilty of such accusation.

This guy once said, he had sex with somebody's mother in a cassava farm. Why, just because the one was trying to instil a bit of sense into his ugly trapezium skull. It's interesting and disgraceful how certain people are supporting this brain dead Ahoofe. Unless those supporting him are also retarded. Has this man ever made sense in all the rubbish and the ethnocentric diatribe against Ewes? Sadly this useless man is from Peki-Blengo, and married to a lady from Abutia, also in the Volta region. If this man has any single sense at all, he would have known that, he is rather a big problem to the presidential ambitions of the one he claimed to be working for, with these shits always coming from his mouth. Those who are supporting this lunatic Ahoofe, I say a big shame to you all. Until we call a spade by its own name, mentally retarded fools like this man, Ahoofe would continue to divide our country on tribal lines. His self acclaimed superiority over of the Akan tribe against others, can not go without mentioning. Ghanaians remembered vividly how he jumped to the defence of Yaw Osafo Marfo's insane talk on his choice for presidential candidates of this country, based on natural resources of those areas. Ahoofe is a real devil that should not be tolerated in any civil society. Come 2016, he would resp his ethnocentric rewards

Was it not the same Okoampah Ahoofe, whose call to arms with the support of NPP nearly turned Ghana into Rwanda after their defeat in the 2012 elections? At the time, nobody could do anything to stop him from his genocidal rantings. Now, that he has touched the lion's den, I fully support whoever takes on this guy once and for all. With hindsight, nobody will know what would have happened. This is the time Okoampah Ahoofe is stopped before he brings havoc to Ghana as 2016 elections draw near. It is right for Dr. Bokor to take the fight to the doorstep of Okoampah Ahoofe and make him aware that there is no hiding place for cowards like his sort and that if he causes any trouble, he will be made to face the music.

Yeah Mr. Bernard. What was and still interesting is the fact that, nobody is reasonable enough from that Asante/Akyem tribal group, to bring him to order. I couldn't figure out what he desired from such genocidal nonsense shit he was spitting on this site. In fact, he was actually intimidating the judges and putting fears in Ghanaians to go to war, should the verdict, that had been a foregone conclusion, go against his tin god, Akufo Addo. How long should we tolerate this lunatic who has been doing everything possible to plunge this country into chaos, all in support of Akufo Addo? I congratulate Dr. Bokor for taming this mad dog. Sometimes, one needs to dance in the mud with pigs like Ahoofe. Haven't we had enough of the ethnocentric diatribe against the Ewes from this lunatic, who is only good for mental hospital? A stupid foolish coward. If he is a man, he should come down here and let's face it. Man to man. Well done Dr. Bokor, for teaching this lunatic what he does not know and wouldn't ever know in his miserable life. Curse forever on this mad man, Ahoofe. May he suffer all his life and die a disgraceful death. After all, All die be die.

Although, I disagree with Okoampa on many issues, I like his writing craft. It is sophisticated, not stretched. On the other hand Bokor's writing craft is very elementary and confusing. There is no need to stress that Okoampa teaches at a community college. The other day you pointed out that where I taught was a "wayside" university. One may teach at any college or university, but it is what one does with his/her PhD that matters in the end. There are people at Yale, Harvard, etc. who have not done "foko" in terms of teaching and research output. I think you exemplify this statement! You won an obscure teaching award and showcased it. Some of us have won it multiple times. Stop the personal attacks. For example, what you said about Ken Ntiamoah was very childish! You are more anti-Akan and a tribalist than any writer on Ghanaweb. Okoampa writes about all national issues, you only write about Akufo-Addo, NPP, Akans in negative tribalizing ways. Even on any good day when you attempt to critique the NDC, you end up praising them. Examples abound, for instance, the "rebranding" of the buses. I wonder why you have not tackled the endemic corruption suffocating Ghana under the NDC, but rather have adopted some silly anti-Akufo-Addo crusades. I know your weapon would be to only bark at Akadu Mensema, but thank God your field tells you that pen names are acceptable and you know that Akadu was a nationalist, not a tribalist!

My friend, you are behaving as if you don't know what you have come face-to-face with here. Do you think that all readers read the same way or that all writers should write to please you?
As you boast of your intellectual capabilities (teaching history at the wayside Shipensburg University in Pennsylavania), you don't know that there is no hard-and-fast rule for judging who writes better, especially to a large and motley audience as visits Ghanaweb.
Go and read readers' comments on Okoampah-Ahoofe's writing style (especially the "figeyish" kind of English that he uses and if you are wise, you will revise your lousy notes about writing, especially in an online medium.
My friend, because you write the way Okoampah-Ahoofe does, you won't see any need to help me out of the tight corner into which he has pushed himself.
The journalism that I learnt and practised many years ago taught me the difference between "feature articles" and pure, high-sounding academic writing (mostly for a speech community that is narrower than Ghanaweb has). Can you reason deeply to see that what you called "sophisticaed" is rather convoluted, hackneyed, and trite, if not sterile? Come on, my friend!!
I don't come to Ghanaweb to do academic writing but feature writing to play with ideas and offer readers the opportunity to enjoy the rhetorical manouevres. That explains why I use simple, everyday English to connect with them. They may not all like my ideas or the angle from which I push them, but they come along with me.
Kwabena Akurang-Parry, I challenge you to write your own kind of opinion pieces for us to read instead of turning yourself into an armchair judge over others' writing style. Can you?

Your self-acclaimed opinion pieces would not see the light day of in any peer-reviewed newspaper. You have colonized Ghanaweb because it is "free bonto." I write scholarly and peer-reviewed essays publishable in top-notch Africana journals. Even then go to Ghanaweb feature section and you would find out that I have a few opinion pieces to my credit. Also google my name and you will find my opinion pieces all over the place, including H-Net, USA Africa Dialogue, etc. If wish to write for the public, then you must develop a thick skin, besides you write silly opinion pieces and should expect criticisms.

Your talking about publishing articles in those journals doesn't wash with me. For your information, I am constantly peer-reviewing articles written by scholars all over the place; and I can tell you that a lot of their manuscripts is junk until fine-tuned by the reviewers to meet standards. From your writing, I am wont to see yours as mere junk!!
The strenuous efforts that the other reviewers and I make to fine-tune those manuscripts is known to the editors of those journals.
You are talking as if no one knows the publication process. A lot of what goes on is done by the peer reviewers to help the original writers shape up their thoughts and style to meet publishing standards.
My friend, I have been doing a lot of such assignments and can send you comments from editors if you so wish.
Much of what I peer-review is even outside my field, but because the editors know who I am, they always send manuscripts to me. Even as I write now, there are three on my desk to respond to.
Don't come and talk rubbish here about your publication accomplishments. The ideas may be yours but a lot more goes into getting your manuscripts accepted for publishing.

My friend, Kwabena Akurang-Parry, can you not simply understand what I am telling you? All those articles were taken through the peer review stages (your original manuscript as responded to by better writers than you are to give you ideas on how to strengthen the manuscript at different levels and your doing what you are advised to do before the manuscript could be accepted for publishing). If you did what the reviewers suggested, the manuscript would be reviewed again and further guidance given you. All things being equal, the editor might accept your manuscript in the final analysis.
You don't seem to get it; right? Your manuscript isn't accepted for publishing immediately submitted. How do you account for the intervention of the reviewers?
YOu can plaster Ghanaweb with a tall list of publications, but the fact still remains that without the intervention other people (better writers than you are), none of your manuscripts would see the light of day.
In any case, the last publication that you posted is :Book Review. Rhapsidies On 'Kindness'.
My friend, do you know that there is no word in English called "Rhapsidies"?
If that is the title of your work, then, you have harmed readers a lot. The word is "Rhapsody" (singular) and "Rhapsodies" (Plural). Nothing like "Rhapsidies" exists in English!!

For a PhD in English, learn to correct your own Englishes before you question other people's typos. You wrote:

No joke or boasting: I serve on several editorial boards and also review tons of manuscripts for publishing houses! What you don't know is that all articles and books pass through the mill of editorial tinkering. Also 90 percent of all articles submitted by scholars are rejected! How many peer-reviewed articles have you published? Only Ghanaweb allows you to publish essays in search of balanced perspectives!

World Englishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the classification of Englishes around the world. For Global English or World English, see International English.
International Association for World Englishes
International Association for World Englishes
World Englishes is a term for emerging localized or indigenized varieties of English, especially varieties that have developed in territories influenced by the United Kingdom or the United States. The study of World Englishes consists of identifying varieties of English used in diverse sociolinguistic contexts globally and analyzing how sociolinguistic histories, multicultural backgrounds and contexts of function influence the use of English in different regions of the world.
The issue of World Englishes was first raised in 1978 to examine concepts of regional Englishes globally. Pragmatic factors such as appropriateness, comprehensibility and interpretability justified the use of English as an international and intra-national language. In 1988, at a Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, the International Committee of the Study of World Englishes (ICWE) was formed. In 1992, the ICWE formally launched the International Association for World Englishes (IAWE) at a conference of "World Englishes Today", at the University of Illinois, USA.[1] There is now an academic journal devoted to the study of this topic, titled World Englishes.[2]
Currently, there are approximately 75 territories where English is spoken either as a first language (L1) or as an unofficial or institutionalized second language (L2) in fields such as government, law and education. It is difficult to establish the total number of Englishes in the world, as new varieties of English are constantly being developed and discovered.

I have just challenged you to write your own kinds of opinion pieces for us to read; and it hasn't taken you long to fall into my trap. Here it is:
"Your free to take sides....."
Folks, do you see how hollow this empty braggart is as far as language control and use are concerned?
When my native American English-using undergraduate students write "YOUR" as used by Kwabena Akurang-Parry in this structure, I quickly tell them that they are confused by what they hear and how English should be used in writing. They confuse the possessive pronoun "YOUR" (as in "your book") with the pronoun "(You") as used for case-making as a subject (or an objective, depending on the context; e.g., "This book is for you") when combined with the verb "are" (often shortened as "you're"). E.g., "You're joking."
In the colloquial setting, "you're" often sounds like "your". But in writing, no!!
So, for a whole professor of history, a so-called judge of other people's writing skills, to not know the difference between both usages is really pathetic!!
Instead of saying "Your free to take sides", my friend, say "You're (you are) free to take sides", which is the acceptable standard English usage. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Brofoyedru ampa!!!!!
Folks, do you see I laugh at such characters?
This is a free lesson in elementary grammar for you, Kwabena Akurang-Parry. You can come for more if you wish!!

So, you still cannot separate a typographical (spelling) issue from a structural one?
My friend, I was quick to notice the misspelling as soon as I posted my comment and read it again. That is the mark of knowledge of a problem and its cause.
In your case, what did you do? Yours is a structural defect, an error of language use, not a typographical mistake. Can you see the difference between an "error" and a "mistake" in this sense?
Yours is a fossilized problem of language use (Error and Contrastive Analysis should help you know this problem better, if you really are into that area).
My friend, come for more free tutorials so you stop messing up here.
Meantime, my challenge to you stands. Move away from the over-simplistic and ridiculous writing style of stringing words (and boring words too!!) together that constituted your writing under the Akadu Mensema name. Come close to writing prose on a specific topic of interest to you so we can see how you write. Otherwise, keep deceiving yourself even as you expose your hollowness.

I charitably decided not to take you on, on your tribute, so don't fool yourself into presuming yourself to be a competent intellectual.
And just how did you become a poet, when you can't even command the English language?
By all means, take me on on the facts, not such trashy remarks.
I should know more about Ghanaian history than you, in spite of your "Shippensburg credentials," or, don't you think you can only fool yourself and the other idiots in this forum?

Kwabena,a renowned psychologist,JS Farrant said in one of his writings that "a teacher who makes his teaching difficult for his students to comprehend knows nothing ".That is exactly what Okoampah is.Writing with "big" words is not what makes one a good writer.
Dr Bokor on the hand writes simple english for readers to understand! .Unfortunately,you're referring to his way of writing as confusing? .

If Okoampah writes sophisticate articles, we don't need them, he must rather be mature that Ghana is a united country and we don't play with tribal cards.

This is a personal piece for you Dr Bokor. I'm a peace-loving person and would have asked you in all aspects to ignore this Okoampah-Ahoofe, a political mischief-maker, but unfortunately this my suggestion would rather escalates the already the increasing misprize for you. Considering the level of his insanity using English words which have no use in this 21st century believing that it would make Ghanaians to recognize him, because he's lecturing at a college in the USA is very misleading and I'd suggest equally taking on him. This is the only langauge that would make him to be innovative or change.Never give him a respite!

ONE WONDERS WHY OKOAMPAH-AHOOFE OF AKIM-ABUAKWA HAS STILL KEPT HIS SIENCE ON THE POLITICAL CRISIS FACING NPP, THE CRIMINAL ORGANISATION IN GHANA.
ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO PRAISE THE ACTIONS OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NPP, AFOKO, FOR EXPOSING THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF THE LEADERS OF THE PARTY,THE BLACK SAVINGS ACCOUNT AND THE MISUSE OF PARTY FUNDS BY THE SO CALLED ELECTED LEADERS FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS.
ALL THINKING PEOPLE WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF, THESE ARE THE TEACHINGS OF THE SO CALLED DOMBO-DANQUAH-BUSIA-BAFFOUR AKOTO TRADITION.
DOES THE SERIOUS POLITICAL CRISIS FACING NPP GIVES HIM HOPE OF THE PARTY GETTING THE MANDATE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION OF 2016 AND FOR THEM TO RULE THE NATION AGAIN.
AN ILLUSION.
THE LEARNED ENGLISH PROFESSER AHOOFE AT NANNU COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN NEW YORK IS KINDLY ASKED TO ADVISE AKUFFO_ADDO TO ABANDON HIS HOPES OF BEING EVEN ELECTED AS PRIME MINISTER OF EASTERN REGION IN THE COMING ELECTION.
AHOOFE, YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN REMINDED OF THE BOOK WRITTEN BY YOUR PARTY FRIEND ARTHUR KENNEDY-CHAISING THE ELEPHANTS INTO BUSH,
SURELY, NPP WILL CONTINUE TO STAY IN THE BUSH FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS,
HE NEEDS ALSO TO KNOW,AKUFFO-ADDO A FAKE PRACTICING LAWYER WITHOUT LAW CERIFICATE IS A FOLK OF THE PAST AND WE THE CONSCIOUS GROUP OF GHANA WILL INVESTIGATE HOW IT BECAME POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO BECOME A LAWYER, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND FOREIGN MINISTER IN GHANA AND SEE TO HIS PROSECTUION AND IMPRISONMENT AT ONE OF THE PRISONS IN AKIM-ABUAKWA.

Dear Bro Bokor,
Please take heart. Don't waste your time on Okoampa. I wish you would not write a sequel to this piece.
I think you have your soul in this piece. From my point of view Okoampa's writing style is very, very ordinary. There is nothing absolutely sophisticated or stretched about it, as Akurang-Parry puts it. Maybe I am biased because of my familiarity with the writings of most of the world's most sophisticated writers in human history.
I don't spend more than 2/3 minutes reading his longest article, if I read any at all. This is because, like I said before, his writings are overly simplistic in their logical architecture. His vocabulary is not above average. Nothing peculiar.
Please ignore him.

Adjoa Wangara has also many times criticized the inmaturity of Kwarteng's English Grammatic of Kwarteng.

The Long Island University in New York on Friday (April 26) awarded the prestigious David Newton Award for Excellence in Teaching for 2013 to Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor, Assistant Professor of English.
By winning this 26th edition of this prestigious award, Dr. Bokor has made Ghana and Africa proud. He is the first Ghanaian (and African, for that matter) to have won this award since its establishment in 1988. Moreover, Dr. Bokor is the first and only Ghanaian (and African, for that matter) to be recruited as full-time faculty member of the Department of English of the Richard L. Conolly College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Brooklyn Campus, since the establishment of the Long Island University in 1926.
In a letter recognizing Dr. Bokor’s accomplishments, the President of the Long Island University, Dr. David J. Steinberg praised him for winning the university’s highest recognition for teaching, an award that is given “to honor our faculty for their mastery of subject, their contributions to the intellectual growth of their students, and their dedication to the hallowed traditions of the academy.” On his part, Dr. Jeffrey Kane, Vice President for Academic Affairs, commended Dr. Bokor’s dedication to inspiring the critical engagement of the university’s students through the quality of his teaching. He noted that the interaction of teacher and student is the foundation of any educational experience, adding “and I lend my appreciation for your part in setting the standard for Long Island University.”
Dr. Bokor teaches undergraduate and graduate-level courses in composition, technical and professional writing, general linguistics, and editing, among others. He also directs graduate students’ theses, mentors undergraduate students and Graduate Teaching Fellows, and co-advises the African Students Association. He is the chair of the Conolly College Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
His publication (“Moving International Technical Communication Forward: A World Englishes Approach,” published in the Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 41(2), (2011): 113–138, was nominated for a national award of the 2012 Conference on College Composition and Communication in the category of “Best Article on Philosophy or Theory of Technical or Scientific Communication.” Dr. Bokor is a product of the University of Cape Coast (Bachelor of Arts) and the Illinois State University in the United States (Ph.D. in English Studies). He was the first Ghanaian to be enrolled for graduate studies in the English Department of the Illinois State University since its establishment in 1859.

Dr. Bokor, am disappointed in you, you don't have to dignify a compulsive fool and a sociopath called Okoampa. Don't expect anything sensible from the schizophrenic Okoampa. This is a man who never ate protein in his childhood to make his brain function as a human. The maggots and the Akrantie bini soup the idiot Okoampa was fed in his childhood years has really affected his ability to think and do thorough analysis and self evaluation before writing his Neo-Nazi and fascist balderdash.

Kwabena, have you left Shippensburg? Been Looking for you. Call me pls at 647-785-0262.
I have something interesting to discuss with you.
Absolute crap from a spiteful man! Okoampa, will never ever win any notable award from any reputable organization on the basis of his "bogus English" in a million years.
Your free to take sides, but read carefully before you comment!

"Even on any good day when you attempt to critique the NDC, you end up praising them. Examples abound, for instance, the "rebranding" of the buses."
If Okoampah writes sophisticate articles, we don't need them, he must rather be mature that Ghana is a united country and we don't play with tribal cards. He must learn to leave a legacy on Ghanaweb as Bokor is doing. Everybo ...

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this one. Only a spiteful man can praise Okoampa"s "stilted and bogus" English. Bravo!!!

You are just supporting nyebro! Even in this piece, Bokor makes several elementary mistakes! Akurang-Parry is right!
