Thought provoking. Excellent piece.
Excellent piece. The problem is that Ghanaians are intrinsically evil and our actions tell who we are. I have watched our actions for 66 years and that is the conclusion I have drawn. Praying and going to church does not mean ...

God bless you for writing the truth. He who has ears let them hear. Hypocrisy at all levels.
In 1979 Rawlings staged a coup and justified the killing of senior military office. That was mob because I remember people chanting "let the blood flow" after the first executions. No one cared to ask if those executed were g ...

may be you didn't read the article and even if you read, you never understood. we are not interested in when its started. we are interested in how to stop it.
I am not admitting that "mob justice"started after Rawlings coup as the writer above you wants us to believe; but, I cannot also side with you that we should only be interested in how to stop it. We cannot stop anything unles ...

Rawlings sought to straighten Ghana and crooked Ghana. The seed was sown then and we even see it in the way we speak English on Public Platforms. No decorum and no humility. Force and Power =Mob Justice. Sorry for the Sacrif ...

Intrinsically evil to the point that even pastor Otabil chose to describe it a cultural thing instead of calling it what it really is. Since when did snuffing the life out of someone became cultural? Only lying pastor Otabil ...

I guess you have to understand the word "culture" to get the import of what the Pastor was saying. In simplistic terms he was trying to say that we've taken these lynches so much for granted that it has become our culture (pa ...

We should all blame law breakers and those who are charged to enforce laws in Ghana. When justice is not taken seriously by those in charge, people seek justice wrongly. This should be a lesson to every policeman, judge or ...

We must learn not to share naked bodies of people no matter the circumstance. The one who did this has subjected the late soldiers family to a serious psychological torture which is the worst of it all.
Kweku, how right you are. It is horrific that the images of the murder are available for all to see. It is even more devistating for the poor family.
BRAVO ... clear, hard & truthfully words. You describe exactly the hypocrisy of Ghana; they want to be seen as a member of the modern world, they drive cars, have TV and smartphones, and, of course, they are all deeply believ ...

Let us remember that it is not just this poor man who was killed in this way. It is happening frequently in Ghana. As you say, Kojo, unless the people can have some trust in the rule of law, then Ghana will become increasing ...

Kojo Arhin:
And that justifies such an action? Self-justice?! No, your argument is just too stupid. Because of thieves would not be sufficiently punished (like your mind), you simply kill them and take the right into your ...

Yes it is sad but our problem is bigger than what happened. Ghanaians hate themselves so much, this one of the evidence of that hatred. They cover it with all sorts of names. I am sure they knew who the captain was and plann ...

I think Ghana is continuously having indecisive leaders. Just look at the crowd happily yielding as if they were going for a fun fair, instead they were chasing a human being to kill. Shameful Ghana! Same thing happened in Ku ...

The eulogies and sympathies coming from all and sundry is the cooperate cry of all that we end our collective hypocrisy of touting our nation as a haven of peace. Let's accept that we are a nation of pretenders who don't walk ...

In short, we're not a civilized people - period! As for our leaders the least said about them the better! All they know is to engage in primitive acquisition of material wealth. Lord have mercy!
Many of us are headed for hell
I am very pissed about this. If nothing is done to the death of this beloved Soldiers I guarantee the Military should take over the country. those who are responsible should be killed as well by Firing Squad or hang by death. ...

I even wonder why we foolishly claim Ghana is a Christian country. Apuuuu! Christian "bin"!, Christian "ta". The country is really sick. This is something that happens every year in many places within this country. Innocent ...

You perfectly right. Honest people like you are scarce in our society. We always pretend to share crocodile tears. They are all hypocrites, syncophants and parasites. Keep the lights burning.
Just like St. Stephen, they stone Maxwell Mahama & like St. Stephen he is in heaven as I speak, praying for Ghanaians.
The Ghanaian has mastered the art of hypocrisy and now look where we are.Jesus always called out the hypocrites. How many of us really and I mean really get along. Come to the West and see what people who really get along beh ...

This is so true. Thank you. I don't know what to say. I got goose pimples after reading your column.
You wrote my mind. Ghana's illness is her death. Still, I can't hold my tears. I have never felt for a someone I don't know like I have felt for Capt. Mahama. He will forever remain a hero in my heart. Go well, Captain!
Mr Author, can't find your contact. I wish get in touch beyond this site. Thanks.
Thank you soo much for your outermost contribution. It touches soul. God heal our dead conscience. What you hit you become, what you forgive you are release for. God heal our Land.
