This lunatic is at it again. It is considered a normal African cultural trait to even mourn your enemies unless you are not sane or at best heartless. Jake's death cannot be an exception and so be it.

Everybody's death is a painful one for which we all mourn. It is the height of hypocrisy for Okoampa to call NDC's tears crocodile ones and to think that Jake's opponents are celebrating his death.

The fact that people are one's political opponents does not mean one wants them dead and will rejoice at such a happening. After all, we shall all die and at any age. How, then, can we rejoice at someone else's death?

Politicians of opposing camps may be enemies in the political public space, but privately, many of them are good friends who meet at the same social gatherings and events and socialize with each other. Asiedu's sympathies may not be hollow...

If you want crocodile tears, they belong to Okoampa on the death of (Major) Quarshiga. Refer to Okoampa's "tribute" to that man who belonged to a tribe Okoampa has expended every effort to insult at every turn on this forum.

And be sure that when Rawlings dies, Okoampa will rejoice genuinely. Nobody can begrudge him that...

Expect the ndc to play the con artists they really are, crying more than the bereaved. Yes yesterday Jake was a demon, a murderer and a thief. Today he is more saint than the Pope. I will choose lucifer over ndc.

The NDC is only good at criminology, deception, lies and propaganda. The one and only honest person among them who was not criminally minded was prof Mills whom they viciously used as a sacrificial lamb for the purpose of winning the 2012 elections. The stupid stupid outburst of their founder Togbega Fiafitor Rawlings, just some couple of days ago, bears ample testimony that these people are callously inhuman: " I haven't missed professor Mills,..........., Mills died to save ndc from going to opposition". And if people like Asiedu Nketiah and co grouped around such a figure to form a political party then what could you expect? Coerced diplomacy of bad intentions of course! Birds of the same further, they say, flop to together. It therefore, makes a lot of sense for anybody to suggest that these people are shedding crocodile tears. If not, how could Rawlings have attended prof Mills' funeral? The man he hated to the bone marrow. Call it hypocrisy of the highest order.

You see, the NDC is the exact epitome of what the Bible says about Satan in JOHN 10:10, " Satan came to steal, kill and destroy ". Much the same way, the NDC and her teaming Atinga-Trokosi followers came to steal (create, loot and share), kill( just as they did to the three Akan judges, Amartey Quaye, prof Mills,......), and destroy ( as they have done to NHIS, our cedi currency and the economy).

What is scaderously annoying is that,as if all Ghanaians are dummies, these shameless old evil dwarfs still want the Ghanaian electorate to give them the mandate to continue stay in power. Tweaaaaaaah! Shallotte Osei is their only hope, and if something stupid happens in the impending November elections, Somali would be a better place to live than in Ghana. Nonsense!

Is it sensible to use 500 000 cedis of government funds to renovate public property and turn around and sell to yourself for 40 000 cedis? This is robbing Ghanaians with the pen. It is stealing from the people of Ghana. Taking responsibility for your actions is the mark of honesty. Stop pointing fingers at others and advise your friends and family to learn to responsibity for their speach and actions. Good luck.

Okoampa,do you remember these names-Mama Tula,Anum Yemoh,Teiko Tagoe and Asaaba Quarcoo?Jake Obetsebi's father the late Obetsebi Lamptey,Busia and J.B.Danquah engaged the services of these criminals to throw bombs at Kwame Nkrumah and at innocent ghanaians at various locations in Ghana.These terrorist activities bankrolled and supported by the CIA killed and maimed so many innocent ghanaians including school children and particularly a school girl who was blown into pieces whilst presenting a bouquet of flowers to Osagyefo at Kulungugu.Do not create the impression that Jake's father was arrested and detained at Nsawam prison for doing nothing.He was a terrorist and was detained as such.

Read Sir Geoffrey Bing's "Reap the Whirlwind." Even Nkrumah's own Anglo-Irish Attorney-General thought Mr. Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey had absolutely nothing to do with Kulungugu.

Omanba, read what Ollennu had to say about Nkrumah after the latter's overthrow. Read Ollennu's introduction to Peter Omari's "Kwame Nkrumah: The Anatomy of an African Dictatorship". Ollennu categorically says that Ghanaians contributed to Nkrumah's dictatorship by foolishly keeping silent and pretending that Nkrumah was perfect.

Okuampa. Is Kennedy Agyapong an NDC entity? Just ask him to tell you what he feels about Jake. No one is saying people should not own a property but should they auction government assets for themselves? Do you think if they were ordinary Ghanaians would it be possible to loot government properties and then tell us to allow the to come to power? Okuampa you are old foolish man.

Whatever 'homage' or loyalty Ghanaians paid to Nkrumah was no different from what you pay to your treasonous CIA operative, Danquah, and Akufo-Addo, today.

Ghanaians, are, culturally, steeped in over-adorning favorite leaders, both secularly and traditionally. We often still hear out-of-the-World appellations called to honor our Paramount Chiefs and pseudo-Kings. Haven't you been praising your Okyehene with hifalutin titles, yourself?

Such effusive show of respect and liking for our leaders does not necessarily mean we are naive to their mortal fallibility. We often evaluate continuously to strike a balance and act when appropriate to denounce a leader for wrongs he or she perpetrates on us. We only have more patience to offer the faulty leaders chance to change for the better.

Only a few egoistic enemies would often like to hasten the destruction of the other, as your Uncle sought to do with Nkrumah via the help of the CIA.

Now, tell me that with all your PHD., you did and still believe in the infantile 'KANKAN NYAME' propaganda that the Military and your UP/NLM backers employed to partly justify Nkrumah's overthrow.

It is the same degree of vilification that your destructive gang of NLC manifestation bestowed upon Nkrumah's image that the Ghanaian masses heaped praises upon Nkrumah.

So, go figure!

And talking about Geoffrey Bing, who the hell was he other than being yet another loyal colonial stooge saving his ultimate reprieve for others that helped in various ways to redeem the lost glory of his Kingdom, the UK?

Bing was not a Judge that sat on the case. He was not any better situated to know the truth about the Kulungugu carnage than Ghanaians, unless you claim he was part of the plot himself.

Ollenu, too, was a prime beneficiary of the Coup. He would not implicate his political bedfellow like Obetsebi-Lamptey. Why not state the familial links that entangled Ollenu to the Danquah-Busia circle within which Obetsebi-Lamptey featured largely as a bona fide associate?

And there is nothing uniquely revealing of African Dictators by Peter Omari that other Dictators around the World have not depicted. So, he adds nothing emphatically deserving of Nkrumah as some Demon extraordinaire.

Shame on you! Your continued demonization of Nkrumah and exculpation of your political favorites' of wrong-doing clearly show through here. So, you are one of those who are impugning infallibility on others you like, while criticizing others of doing the same for Nkrumah.

Get lost! The Kwaebibirem awaits your help to open the canopies for sunlight to reach the floor of the forest to enlighten the hearts of the many you have long neglected with your incomparable hypocrisy, and egomaniacal selfishness.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Of course, the NDC did all they could to humiliate Jake. Paying warm tributes to Jake isn't hypocritical, irrespective of domestic party politics and whatever happened years gone by to him and his father, it is common human decency to show respect, dignity and sympathy to the dead and the bereaved family.

Certainly, you don't expect the NDC to hold street parties celebrating the death of Jake.

The serial killers are shedding crocodile tears. They even have bigger plans to kill some top NPP members including Nana Akufo-Addo as the did to late J. B. Danquh in FebrFebruary, but turn around to console grieving family and party. NFC equals to the extreme religious group called ISIS and the people of Ghana better take serious caution.

Haven't you done worse to others? If NDC tried to humiliate Jake. The operative word is 'tried'. So, they did not really humiliate him after all.

Now, how about you, and how you seem to have signed you life to destroy not just in NDC but even within NPP, amidst your utter paranoia that someone out there is 24/7 scheming to deny your Uncle Ghana's Presidency? And even if others were doing so, haven't you and your cohorts been doing the same? Shelve your crass hypocrisy?

The Bungalow saga that Jake got himself embroiled in is no exceptional case of simply wanting to humiliate Jake. There were other similar cases with the distribution of State Lands, machinations to have cronies win access to non-bidding contracts under dubious circumstances, etc. that involved other elites in both the major Political Parties.

Then came the deserving queries of SADA, GYEEDA, SUPA, etc., that the NDC operatives were mostly to culpable of. It happened similarly with the indictment of Tsatsu Tsikata and Kwame Peprah, et al.

Luckily, Jake was spared prosecution like the NPP meted out to Tsatsu and clique. So, be fair and stop your painstaking search for moral sympathies for the deceased beyond what is most deserving...the fact that in spite of his mortal faults, Jake was still a loving fella to many folks beside his family, and statesman who served in some way to help uplift his country...and therefore, even by that alone, all Ghanaians have to genuinely mourn his demise.

You are such a soul-less hypocrite, you can't even distinguish between politics and practical human emotional connections.

We all know how much dehumanizing denigration you have dumped on famous past leaders like Nkrumah, Busia and Victor Owusu, and on the living, like former President Kufuor and the Otumfuor.

What moral authority do you have to judge any entities on how they treated others, and in this instance, Jake?

Shame on you!

Long Live Ghana!!!
