  What a long piece as usual. One day soon, you will stop writing such nonsense on Ghanaweb. People like you have driven out their readers. You write a lot of crap like a druggie or serious alcoholic. Hatred of NPP alone is not enough reason to write so poorly. You are an apology to Ghanaian intellectualism.

  Gees, my new book is not this long, but seriously have you given thought to the fact that we are simply using the wrong vocabulary? A colony of ants is a group of ants that have moved away to settle elsewhere. The British colony referred to Britons who settled elsewhere. They took their ways and institutions along. If we have adopted their ways, are we not a British colony and remain so? I am not writing about neocolonialism. Being a colony has little to do with self rule. We are simply an independent colony of Britain, or pretending to be one, because we are "prostituting" ourselves with other powers as we depend on them. I have based this thought on the relationship that God had with the children of lsrael just before the exile.

  It's a development thing, or lack of. And it is interesting Francis Kwarteng begins his essay with a quotation from Paa Kwesi Nduom!
  
  As they say, people love to talk, including those who mostly want to start from the top.

  Fire!
  
  Imagine, there are also cases of senseless fires. We read Nduom and party complaining that the Ghana Fire Service has no equipment, poorly serve Ghana.
  
  The other question is, what fire suppression facilities and equipment did the NDUOM facilities have?
  
  How many smoke detectors and fire suppression system were in those commercial facilities?
  
  Why must we congregate everything in Accra, on the same ground?
  
  What decisions were made/not made with respect to the best places to site all those facilities, some of which are not even complementary, knowing all the constraints, including lack adequate fire protection!
  
  Africa's internal colonialism of the self!
  
  Our minds, and then some, are playing trick on us, Ghetto Boys-Style!!!
  
  Peace!

  This is an incoherent Okoampa wannabe.
  
  Ghanaweb must select quality articles over crappy frequent authors.
