    I wonder how and why Ghanaians are given overwhelming ears to H.E Nana Addo Danquah's speech as plagiarism. The speech wasn't plagiarized, as it's been over 70years since the death of the original speech deliverer (Woodrow Wi ...

    You are plain wrong man. There is a world of difference between copyright and plagiarism. The fact that Bush and Clinton used it without acknowledgement does not give legitimacy to their actions.Yes copyright had expired but ...

    But who told you what Hanan is saying is true? He did not cite any evidence to back what he wrote.

    President Bush used the same quote from President Woodrow Wilson without giving credit and Americans did not complain becau ...

  • MUGU YARO 7 years ago

    BUSH AND CLINTON MAY HAVE LIFTED IT FROM PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, BUT I NEED THE FULL SPEECH TO STUDY AND SEE IF THERE WAS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. ANYWAY ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT BECAUSE OF TIME WE CAN QUOTE SHAKESPEARE WITHOUT ANY ...

    Agyeeiiiiii.........NANA ADDO i'm told is competent and Mahama is incompetent (Bawumia, 2016). Now it's clear NANA ADDO is competent in plagiarizing speeches!

  • ikeyeboah 7 years ago

    If this is what competence is all about then ghanaians are in for disaster. A president that cant imagine and reason for himself what he expects from the ghanaian citizenry.

    NANA IS ALREADY DISGRACING GHANA. ALL DIE BE DIE!!!! ALL DISGRACE BE DISGRACE!!!

  • kwabena, kwashieman 7 years ago

    This write up is coming from a feeble minded person who has little knowledge of plagiarism. The words that we speak and the sentences that we make have one time or another been made before. Do we always credit that made those ...

    Coming events cast their shadows. We have started with stealing of speeches. Only God knows what will happen to the public kitty which we have promised to protect.

  • Fan love 7 years ago

    I totally agree with the analysis and conclusion of the writer. There is difference between copy right and plagiarism. Let us stop defending the indefensible. Our president erred. Period.

  • elhadji may 7 years ago

    It's wrong that these script writers didn't do their work well because they promised to work for the man. But once the communication directory has accepted their blame any other person is just barking. So let move on as a nat ...

  • eduse poku 7 years ago

    Hanan,
    You hit several home runs in this your article. Good brain fodder. I can't help but smile. I also after hearing the speech concluded thus:
    1. He must have deliberately simplified it to lessen the "uppity krache" st ...
