    HE SAID THE JUNE 4 REVOLUTION IS TO TAKE ECONOMY FROM AKANS.

  • PHILTY McNASTY 10 years ago

    We the supporters disassociate ourselves from the party's position. That tribal bigot got a taste of his own medicine. He got what he deserves, the wages of a would-be tribal warlord. He should rest and rot in pieces.

    u ghanas are very wicked.

  • mack 10 years ago

    Mr Wise, its not all Ghanaians that are so wicked and intolerant, it is those in the current NPP. Most Ghanaians in all other political parties are good and tolerant people.

    A typical NPP , no wonder they win only 2 regions, The tribal bastions of Ghana

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    What about Nigerians? Your MENDS people and Boko Haram murderers who kill innocent people. Does that make all Nigerians wicked.
    There are many Ghanaians who do not rejoice at his death despite some of his past utterances.

  • WISE-TALK, UK 10 years ago

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    OFUI, call me a fool but I don't rejoice at the death of another person who has not done anything personally evil to me. If an armed robber and a rapist is killed, I shall rejoice. But go to Nigeria and solve the problems of ...

  • Pelicles 10 years ago

    Kofi Awoonor said publicly that, he is an EWE before a Ghanaian so, who should be worried? He spent the rest of his life to do whatever he can to push Akans to the edge of a cliff. In Kenya, he thought he was safe than to b ...

    Awoonor never wrote any such thing in his book in question. That book was written in the 1970s and only published rather late after the Dec. 31 coup. He only added a forward to it.

    You have no defense for this supreme bigot.His infamouse statement that "I am Ewe first before a Ghanaian " epitomizes the Nyebro mentality of Ewes. Your attempts to defend him tell us you are no different from this bigot. ...

    Yes, in a country where every educated has become a "world renown" by our journalists, Awoonor was a different breed. Yes, Awoonor should be celebrated and remembered as one of the greatest sons.
