    So no amount of humiliation will stop a Ghanaian to obtain a degree that he never really study for?

    A whole president and his entourage were cramped in a sit reserved for public spectators and upon that gave a speech with ...

    I think you are a dimwit and lost your power of reason. When the embodiment of a country has been shabbily treated we should smile and treat them with awe. You craze.

    Well, your president doesn't think so. He said the Scots can help Ghana transform, whatever that means.

    Only the wise will understand that this is pure racism by a group of people and instead of us condemning it we are politicizing it-as usual the white man is always right. That is how white people will treat black people if we ...

    Well said Rev. but as to whether or not we as a sovereign nation will continue to reaffirm our positive stance on GLBT is another matter considering the fact that we continuously trail and beg them for alms.

    This admission by the Rev. somehow redeems the Scottish People from the horrible, racist disdain they showed our Ghanaian entourage, headed by our President.

    No need apologizing to Mahama. After all, he is a corrupt man who has no respect in Ghana.

  • Efo Kodzo 8 years ago

    Well, said. You have a point. Don't forget the Scots were aware of the 3m dollars flew to Brazil together with even the error ridden brochure he produced. Who will respect a person of this likeness?

  • PATRIOT 8 years ago

    Your stupid father respects him,ok.

  • Efo Kodzo 8 years ago

    Correct. It is only stupid people together with children of foolish men (e.g. you)who will respect him.
