What has Kofi Annan done for anybody to deserve all this your foolish hype?This man was raised to the highest honour on this planet but he did nothing to help his continent, his country or his tribe except to allow his son to steal from the poor.

Sometimes I wonder why Fantes only think about themselves individually. A Fante seldom helps another Fante, they prefer to help other people. Whether you pretend or not, Ghana and global politics works on affiliation. It does not mean you must favour only your people but you must favour some.

Both Afrifa and Acheampong helped some Ashantis, JJ helped a lot of Ewes, Mahama is helping a lot of Northerners but when it came to Nkrumah, he ignored his people. Atta Mills did the worse for Fantes, he rather packed and worshipped Ewes who eventually lied and killed him. Even JJ, himself an Ewe was disgusted.

Does being patriotic mean you should ignore your people who are also part of the nation? Fantes, be smart, try to help some of your people when you get into power. Don't just gather a few greedy bastards and sell yourselves to Ewes or any other ethnic group. You cannot continue to boast with Takoradi which is not even a Fante town but Ahantan.

Guys a suspect has been arrested and named as Mada Kabobo, a 21 year-old Ghanaian. The guy went on the rampage with a pickaxe in the Italian city of Milan,question is the name MADA KABOBO a Ghanaian name?

Ironically, you are damn right about a little education being dangerous.

Judging from your inexplicable and narrow-minded defense of a man who undermined another African (Boutros Ghali)by accepting to stand in as an African stooge of the UN Secretary-General position after the imperialist lobby had managed to oust Boutros, clearly exemplifies the point.

It would be great if you could back your support for Kofi Annan with concrete evidence of useful achievements for Africa commensurate with his position during his tenure of office as the head of the UN.

When Boutros refused to comply with the evil machinations of the West, the imperialists planted Kofi Annan there as a willing stooge so that they could comfortably and without any meaningful resistance go and invade Iraq and take over their oil installations under a puppet regime.

For this and many other unforgiveable lapses, history will tear Kofi Annan into bits. I can assure you that you haven't yet heard half the story of the man Kofi Annan.

And finally, if you are really called William go and find out how to spell your own name. That's how daft you are.

Yes Kofi Annan is not only useless man, but also a stodgy of the West and a NEO-COLONIALIST. Under his watch as the head of United Nation, million of his fellow Africans perished in Rwanda, in 1994 while he stands by and look. He did nothing to stop the genocide. He is a useless man. I do hope he will not bring HIS BAD LUCK on another African country again.

I thought you were just one of them funny posters here blinkered by parochial partisan views. I was mistaken. You are one dangerous element with your skewed versions of history and warped judgement of others.

When was the last time you spoke against NDC for wrong doing? Remember, you can do so and still be a supporter. Blind support is not a way to develop oneself

another man's poison.......how can africa be so cruel to herself. it takes the european to jail somebody for almost 30 years to make him a hero. it takes 15 years as americans' boy boy to become a hero, but when jj offered his life to a whole nation.... david, the shepherd was a hero, the jacob, a name which tells long about itself remains a hero. sometimes after deep thinking, i remain sad, we monkeys simply forget that, our being and purpose are from God eternal. we define and want glory for ourselves. our enemies bend our heads down and all we see is the proximate ground. we need leaders of spiritual and divine inspirations, with charism human beings cannot define to make us triumph. leaders who are confirmed in the LORD, titles are human but the heart is divine amen
