    I keep saying that Kutu was one best leaders Ghana has ever seen. You are right he was ahead of him time. Of all this so called PHD's around running their mouth ,Kutu was never a university graduate

    You guys are right; I put Kutu behind Nkrumah then Liman. The rest are all gold diggers whilst Prof Mills wasn't meant to be a politician.

    There's division within Christians.
    There's division within Moslems.
    There's division among Politicians.
    There's division among the tribes, nations, races. So, what else is new?

    The bishop broke away from the catholic church to form his own. he was a catechist and now a bishop. he shd go back to cath. church before he calls for a union gov.

  • Bechemniiba(Paris) 9 years ago

    And why did he leave the catholic church? Was he afraid to go to the ecclesiastes prison as most catholic reverend fathers do when they commit grievous sins?

    Are not these same fools fighting Kutu Acheampong when he was preaching the formation of the Union government?

    Our political system of government should not change.
