This your article does not make sense,I'm not NPP supporter but to say the president may have ordered the quotations to be removed is not only childish but foolish.

How do you know that because Americans were replaced with Ghanaians it means the president ordered the removal?

We need to be writing things that make sense to not only our supporters but our opponents as well,this article lacks sense.

It's unfortunate this writer tried his best but by so doing has exposed his own ignorance. The original intellectual property holder of what Akuffo Addo quoted were not Clinton and Bush but Woodrow Wilson( US PRESIDENT 1913-1921)..It is over 70 years since he died so when Clinton and Bush quoted him they never referenced it to him . So what Akuffo Addo quoted could not be referenced to them. To do so would have been very wrong. Please next time check your facts.

I've not crosschecked but if it's true that Woodrow Wilson originally said it, then I say cudos to you!

Oh my God some Ghanaians are so stupid in intensity. We have a great task ahead, to rebuild our nation. Stop all this nonsense howling and barking. It doesn't make sense. The country is on it's last legs struggling to survive ,and people are worried about some inaugural speech. Grow up and behave like normal human beings and stop exibiting those animalistic behaviors. We all have to come together as one and help build our beloved country.

Plagiarism...Some of us have expressed our displeasure about the incident and I think that it is enough. This must not distract our advance. It's a minor issue. Even if President Addo-Dankwa or his speech-writer stole for us to do us good, we should be the ones to be proud of him for the good intention, rather than ridiculing.

In fact, "Plagiarism" is everywhere and in various forms including tangibles far hugest than this...plagiarism of technologies etc. I dare say that Africa has suffered far more plagiarism than any other people. The west copied lots including even buildings ditto ditto from ancient Africa.

Honestly speaking, I will be much consciously willing to engage in even technology plagiarism, not phrase plagiarism but even scientific or technological plagiarism for my people if it would help them, if it would advance their cause, and not care what others would say.
If we check, we would observe that almost the entire world owe their advancements mostly to plagiarism.
