    You nailed it Prof Lungu.

    Nu further comment.

    Thank you.

  • francis kwarteng 7 years ago

    I meant to say "No further comment."

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    No worries.

    And thanks.

    Actually, what is a bit worrying is the purposeful removal of graphics from articles by Ghanaweb. Those can better, and more easily inform. We've seen Ghanaweb publish articles with graphics and ...

    Let's concentrate on better thing and forget about the bush Ashanti people...they will remain the same and not learn in 1000 years.

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Francis, you are 1000% right, those backward Ashanti people are not governable owing (mostly) to their bigger percentage of illiteracy.

  • Nkrumah 7 years ago

    Are you here to discuss about and insult the people of Ashanti? O what basis do you stand to insult and disgrace the Ashanti people?

  • francis kwarteng 7 years ago

    This is not Francis Kwarteng, the columnist. I am impersonated.

    Thanks.

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    francis kwarteng,

    Sorry about this hopeless moniker thief!

    We must now note that our essay is also about that idiot all over the place impersonating other people, and using multiple identities in an effort to fool some ...

  • Dr. Otto 7 years ago

    So, now the moron Francis Kwarteng had the audacity to call himself a columnist? But what for a columnist? He is nothing but just a cut and paste joker.

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Dr. Otto,
    But what for a columnist?, you ask!

    What's that about?

    If we may, just once, the last we checked, you, "Dr. Otto", ain't got a single column/paper anywhere. That is, except those nonsensical comments at the ...

    I am BEING impersonated (Francis Kwarteng, columnist).

  • Koo Nimo 7 years ago

    But you seem yourself to be confusing district with constituency. Why do you say "voting districts" when votes are not denominated by districts? Or do you mean the District Assemblies and municipalities? These are not the one ...

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Koo Nimo,
    No confusion on our mind, trust us on this one.

    We do not talk about "factory" in the entire paper.

    Voters are packed into "districts" too, Electoral Districts.

    Constituencies (275) = Voting Districts (27 ...

  • Koo Nimo 7 years ago

    I know you know exactly what you're talking about. But calling the constituencies "voting districts" can confuse that with the municipal and district divisions that also vote for their members even if their bosses are appoint ...

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Koo Nimo,
    The fact that people in an organization or area vote to elect any officer(s) does not make those entities "Voting Districts" in any sense, least of all the "formal".

    And no, we do not use Voting Districts/Const ...

    I simply love the graphics (Francis Kwarteng, Ghanaweb Columnist).

  • 2pm 7 years ago

    Calling ASHANTIS backwards, you are the most stupid person ever read from. ASHANTIS will continue to vote to keep you in opposition.

  • francis kwarteng 7 years ago

    Oh! yes! Ashantis will continue to vote for Akufo Addo just to lick his Ass, so he will keep fooling you backward Ashanti people. Wake up and "think far." (francis kwarteng, columnist-Ghanaweb)

  • Prof Tetteh 7 years ago

    Ashanti Region is the biggest looser for NOW. But when the final " decentralization" is done, aka 'FEDERALISM' as best as they can organize it under the current constitution, Ashanti Region will end up with more Voting Distri ...

    Prof. When this voting districts used their population to elect people to represent them in parliament,u we no problem but when resources are shared you find some constituency to be losers.

    Kwasi,
    Nice try!

    Sure, "like the typical African scholar", you, Kwasi, did not even bother to read the article, or even think through what the title actually means.

  • Kwasi Opoku Agyeman. USA 7 years ago

    Why trying to complicate things for yourself? Why not wait until they start to implement it? I thin is too early for you bogus analysis because you don't know the modalities they are going to use.

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Kwasi Opoku Agyeman,
    Un-complicate things for yourself by actually reading the paper, and researching for yourself what they have actually said, what they have promised, etc., if you do not know.

    It is that simple!

    common sense will tell you that Ashanti will be taking $47 and upper west $11per year. if you still think Ashanti region will be losers, I will advised that you go back to school pls

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    Abdul A,

    Clearly, you do not have the intelligence to read, let alone digest, the content of the paper.

  • Living 7 years ago

    One thing helped the then NPP presidential candidate who is now the president: the statement "please try me too and see what I cand do".

  • Okponglo Guy 7 years ago

    Learn to be concise. That is better writing.

  • Captein 7 years ago

    It was a good attempt. But since you title is wrong your results are flawed.
    You should rethink to re-do the research to make it more meaningful and sound. It was a good trial.
