Honouring this political predator nana addo who fully supported Kennedy agyapong to direct the "Akans" to massacred and kill all the Gas and Ewe's, and also to Lynch security personnel who venture to come to their aid, is a big blow to the humble people from these regions. I am calling everybody from these two regions to stand up and do everything by their power to block this dubious honouring since he nana the tribal leader did Not deserve it.

OOO FATHER FORGIVE HIM FOR HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE IS DOING.
A hallmark of any incompetency is an excuse, which by the way is a trademark for Mahama’s Administration an extension Mill’s inability to perform until his untimely death. Here we go again, putting the plight of suffering Ghanaians into different motions. How long can we wait until you move to your fourth gear?

Owusu Afriyie,don't you think you deserve that treatment? Even though I detes the national cocaine peddlars party (NPP), I did not like the way and manner in which you disgsraced them. Change if you can

Bawumia is the only idiot from the north,does he think he will get a chance in "Y3N AKANFO" PARTY? He should go and ask the late ALIU MAHAMA THIEF KUFOUR'S VICE.

While the looting brigade continues to share the booty. And the POOR supporters keep cheering them up. While they are fed each day with Promises, Upon Promises, upon Promises. Oh my Brothers and Sisters, When will you become Wise and Vote these Thieves out of Power. Cant you see this Country Dying? Even Nunoo Mensah has Seen the country dying. God help Ghana !!!

The Ghanaian cultural norm that allows for every classroom schooled fool to be put on a pedestal has enabled most of the characters we have had as our political leaders and their side-kicks.
If Owusu Afriyie and all the so-called educated MP do have either the intellectual capacity to spur on economic growth in Ghana or to be productive in their private practices they would not turn every grave and or lie before God and man to win election to get to parliament where stealing and lying is requisite for success.

You appear to be at War when everybody is peaceful. Politics is about numbers and attracting people with sweet words and not those that you utter. You need to add a lot of humour like General Mosquito does.

I think you've been justifiably criticised and condemned not only by the NDC but all right-thinking readers and hearers only for the sake of your filthy mouth,arrogance,foolish pride and above all you've been a shame to the law profession.You make Ghanaians feel that all Akans are pro NPP just to breed ethnicity in our small country.Nobody desires any rift between Akans and Ewes but your utterances and acts encourage this crime.If you were tactful and prudent in handling practical matters,you would have devised measures to put the NPP in a winning form in the next elections.You must remember('O'LEVEL) that where the opposition does its work convincingly,it presents itself as a potential alternative government by enhancing the chance to triumph in future elections.You rather chose to do acts which tend to be inimical to the dignity of your party.WISE UP!

Justice Atuguba should have actually caged you for at least 30 days. You see Owusu even though we are in the same NPP I don't like you because of how you talk and try holding yourself above everyone else, why. My candid advise to you is that just hung your boots because no one will vote for you to be secretary again, you're a big fool to stand again. Even your Akuffo Addo will also fail miserable if he tries again - even the weeping wall will not save him. An ToaNyame is even better.

Refuge and comfort in the scriptures when their backs are against the wall!
Did`nt we all hear what this guy was telling the whole world only a month or so ago about how entrenched he and his clique have become in the "Osono" Party? Has humility been part of this guy`s 'leadership'style? May be this change in tone will 'fool' the die-in-wool Npp supporters, but certainly not the "floating voters" who are the kingmakers in our electoral system.
Look,if those who are fighting mad to maintain the status quo have not come to the realization that, it is the imposition from the top(call it Akan hegemony or dominance)which hasr consigned their party to eternal opposition,then I am afraid this convenient attempt to introduce scripture into into the on-going debace,will not yield any meaningful results.
