    Yes, they are against this Gonja woman. Thanks to JM.

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    She doesn't have good relationship with the mother and other siblings because she doesn't follow their ndc supporting herd mentality and they don't like her political choice, so what? The mother should respect Otiko as an adu ...

    you should worry about getting the money back. you don't get many chances in life. Government is not like banks that you can send back if you don't want it

  • PATRIOT 7 years ago

    Sarpong do you agree that a ghanaian who has failed to do his/her national service as required by the law of the land be appointed a minister of state?Will legalizing illegalities be the best way forward for the nation?

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    That should be a different matter concerning her national service but bringing her family matters some of them don't even have a clue about is childish.

    According to the law, anybody over forty can get exemption so when sh ...

    THAN YOU BROTHER SARPONG WITH YOUR COMMENT AND GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
    IF MY MOTHER IS ALIVE,I WILL NEVER TALK TO HER BECAUSE SHE CONSPIRED WITH ONE OF MY LITTLE BROTHERS TO TAKE MY HOUSE IN TAKORADI.

  • Villager 7 years ago

    But you are using different premises here. If your mother conspired to take your house away, do you know who sponsored Otiko to travel abroad? Do you know that she lived a DADA BA life throughout?
    Do you married one of the m ...

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    Her father was a rich man who sponsored her travel abroad so what is your point? She lived a DADA BA life so what? Is it her fault her Daddy was rich? So she has to be hated because she lived a DADA BA life?
