  All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.
  
  Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

  the pepeni is right , the verdict whatever the case can not throw the country into war rather can only be another nail in the coffin of already dead ghana . pepeni still has time till next year at least to start thinking of solutions in new job creating opportunities that ensure the wealth of the nation stays with the people of the nation , clean up the tribal corruption against Akans , reshuffle and create an all inclusive govt and not only toilet carrying alajih pepeni but also bring in the Akans in proportion to their population , no npp power sharing but all-inclusive in terms of ethnic back ground , stop lying and being biased in favor of Chinese Indians Koreans Turkish and Lebanese but look to find partners in Ghana with Ghanians. a proper investigation and inquest into the death of mills and not this flimsy excuse of'' believe us its not necessary attitude ''. appoint people based on competence and merit and not these amateurs who can only give him loyalty at the expense of the welling of the nation . yes you idiots out there asked me what my suggestions are and here they are so you don't say i only chastise and criticize without pointing out the solutions . if he doesn't do these things war will come sooner that you expect . personally i hope he is too stupid to do the right things and the country separates so we Akans move on without you fools

  They should call Larry Gbevlo Lartey and give him this advice, because it seems, the disease of the NDC party, which is ineptitude is was at display, when it was reported that, he was on a campaign blitz to silence Ghanaians, effectively introducing the culture of silence, a relic of the military dictatorship of the past, when they governed with impunity.

  The crux of Prof. Kwame Kakari's comment is simple,that is,"people should be able to speak their minds, but with decorum."
  A favorite saying of mine is "Criticize,but constructively".Not criticism for the sake of criticism.A lot of these journalists & politicians
  only want to impress the public as being outspoken and fearless,but deep inside they are cowards and thoughtless 'clowns'!Since when did respect for one's fellow human being
  cease to be important,especially when making public pronouncements?!
  Respect due.

  WE PREFER NEITHER. THERE ARE TONS OF MEDIA PLACES AROUND THE COUNTRY AND AS SUCH PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY. THE COURTS HAVE TO AWARE THAT GONE WERE THE DAYS WHERE GBC WAS THE ONLY OUTLET FOR PEOPLE TO EXPRESS WHAT OUR DEMOCRACY IS GOING THROUGH. I THINK THE COURTS SEE AND HEAR WHAT GOES IN THE US, BRITAIN AND MOSTLY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. PERSONALLY, IF THEY CANNOT HANDLE SUCH EXPRESSIONS THEN THEY HAVE TO MOVE TO THE MOON.

  Does he sincerely believe that in Ghana today we can move into a culture of silence? How? Prof,. your focus should be on promoting a culture of responsible talk talk. We have a culture of talk talk which cannot be gagged!

  IT SOUNDS VERY STRANGE AND PATHETIC TO HAVE PEOPLE NAMED AS PROFESSORS, DEANS,HEADS OF DEPARTMENT, FELLOWS AND SCHOLARS IN THE MIDST OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT, DESTITUTION AND EXTREME POVERTY IN GHANA.
  
  ARE WE NOT ASHAMED OF THESE TITLES.
  
  TIME FOR THEM TO TO ACCESS THEIR ROLE IN THE ECONONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING THE NATION.

  Poverty, sanitation, diseases etc. are not a problem to these professors but freedom to insult and be irresponsible is what matters them. It's indeed strange that we have all these people calling themselves professors in the midst of poverty, sanitation and diseases. They have no idea that these characteristics is also a limitation to freedom and equally have repercussions on democracy

  I have for some time now been worried about the continuous call on Ghanaians for peace. My worry stems from the fact that, if care is not taken, we would go back to that era where, no dissent views were entertained. True, we must be responsible in our speech, be decorous and civil, but politicians clever as they are may take undue advantage and trample on the freedom we have fought so hard to get today.
  The judges must be respected, yes! but we must not treat them as if they are "gods" kind of. They have feelings, personal interest, etc. People live in such a deplorable conditions in Ghana in this 21st century that one wonders what our so-called leaders are doing. To me, the statements christened contempt’s by the judges that put some into prisons and fines are not weighty as compared to the squalor people find themselves in . In a way by neglecting our responsibilities as leaders, we are insulting, being contempt to the poor and the needy. Should these people rise up one day to say, enough is enough and that, they are taken leaders on contempt charges, would anyone stand the wrath of the masses. Let us not gag people or stop them from speaking their minds.
  We have given too much room for politicians, we cannot give them also our freedom to speak. That would be too much. MPs are fooling Ghanaians, Presidents are also making nonsense their promise to deliver the people from their woes, now the judges are also, by the SC case trying to take away the little liberty we enjoy as a people. If they think, they can enjoy their ill gotten wealth and go free, while millions of Ghanaians live in state of indignity, we all live to see.
  Let these so-called leaders continue to plunder the nation, one day would be a bad day for them. Mark it on the wall. People use every dubious means to steal nation's money, they are brought to court and nothing is done against them, while many cry on their beds each night for what to eat the next day.
  The masses would rise against these know nothing leaders, who cannot even provide common water for their citizens in this 21st century. Shame unto you. The cry of the poor is ascended to heaven. Heaven would hear them but woe to you and your families who steal the little the poor is to live on.

  I am a devoted NDC camarade and I support peace and cohabitation in my motherland Ghana founded by Dr. Kwame Nkruma.
  
  As the Supreme Courts prepare to uphold the will of the majority of Ghanaians for electing JDM, our intelligence is gathering information that Nana Dwarf is planning to execute his all die be die agenda.
  
  If this is the case, we will prove these hooligans that they are wrong. If they dare to attack innocent Ghanaians because they did not vote their loser into power, we will counter attack them from various angles and even in their Koforidua heartland and we will attack them in every country where they work as shoe shine boys.
