  Good one there at least I have seen a sensible person who can reason and think, first and foremost, what is education at all? In a country where I come from, they defined education as anyone who can read and write English language that is how they defined education in Ghana. A country where a lot of people look down upon those who can't speak and write English language do you think such country can develop no wonder Ghana is a country with good resources but the citizens are mentally weak unable to think and reason as well, they are still slaves to the so-called Europeans. They are still colonized mentally and physically but the reason is that they don't know that they are still under colonization. So in s nutshell that is how illiteracy is defined in Ghana. Then one may ask that how about the countries who are using their own language to study are they illiterates? a country like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Norway, China etc can we classify their education system as substandard because they are not using English language to teach in their institutions? Africans will always embraced everything from west and east without thinking deep and its side effect in the future and we hate our own things so tell me are we humans? We always lionize the oppressors and disowned ours and we called ourselves educational elites now listen to a proverb from Europeans to Africans “you can take a monkey from bush but you can't take bush from monkey" how are we going to interpret it? it's simple to Europeans, Africa is bush let's see how they describe Africa they use the word Sub-Saharan and the question is do we have sub-Europeans or sub-Asians or sub-Americans, etc look how they have cited Africa in a World map, Africa as a continent is always at the bottom of the World map, the question is why they didn't cite Europe, Asia, America and Australia at the bottom but only Africa think about it brothers and sisters, the proverb means an African a monkey can come to western or eastern country to study or do anything but because he/she is from Africa you can't take Africa mentality from him or her then the stereotype goes, they are less humans, they don't have food to eat, always fighting among themselves etc so why Africans shouldn't cling to their own and abandoned their stupid act but yet still Africans are upholding their language and their barbaric culture, 500 years we are still slaves so when are we going to emancipate ourselves as a people created by YHWH.
  The time has come for Africans to come together as one people and put their difference away and unit as people it has been a long time in slavery and colonization. The time has come for Ghanaians to put away their difference and unit to develop their nation it has been a long time in slavery and colonization.
  God of our fathers have mercy on us especially banana republic of Ghana. Ghana, Ghana a country with good resources I had wanted to gather my people under one canopy as hen gathered it chicks but my people have abandoned their wisdom through thinking and now following the way of westerners through their devilcracy which is called democracy so now my people cannot be able to manage their own affairs, my people do not appreciate things manufactured in their country, my people preach devilcracy and practice vices, my people preach patriotism but they are not patriotic, my people have lost their sense of judging and now we are in a doom state they can't differentiate good things from bad ones and now engulf with tribalism which has become a canker in the country through bogus so-called educational elites and stomachticians who called themselves as politicians to separate the people in other not to come together to fight against their evil planning. A voice calling from within shouting my people, my people come together to build your nation we were created in the same image not let this stomachticians separate you they are doing it for their own selfish gain so wise up, awake from your slumber, the day is far spent and the night is near so let's ignore all these tribalism stuffs and come together as one people because together we can build a better nation.
  The only way Africans can develop is to use their own language to study and do everything and stop patronizing anything from east or west, a small country like Ghana we can’t develop it why? Because we have pseudo intellectuals who always claims that they are the best but in reality they are at the bottom of the pit, our education system is not good, our education system does not allow us to think inside and out outside the box so for Ghana to develop it needs critical thinkers and nature incliners who can put things together other than that it will take millions of years we will still be where we are. Anyone who wants to study Nature University can contact me wellsbrains2000@yahoo.com, whatspp 008613566124757 when you contact me tell me which my article that you are interested so we can discuss it deeply because I have presented numerous articles on this web

  The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.
  
  This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?
  
  Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

  Datebah, consistency can only be achieved through enforceable control mechanisms and procedures which hold those who violate these mechanisms responsible and accountable. At the moment these controls a non-existent at the Judiciary and across the wider society hence ATUGUBA Co can deliver whatever verdict they want and nothing holds them to account.

  I can't help but ask: why didn't Justice Baah express this sentiment during his tenure on the bench? By what criteria does the Chief Justice arbitrarily select a section of the Justices to sit on a particular case? This "arbitrariness" has exaggerated the public perception of the "NDC" and "NPP" split of the court. Unfortunately, President Mills (an Attorney !!) fed into this mistrust by appointing five additional Justices (bringing the total to 14) solely on political grounds, because the NDC has lost all their "major" cases. President Mills' action implied lack of confidence in the traditional 9-member court and will "haunt" Ghana's justice system for a very long time.

  If there is a perception nation wide that our legal system operates strictly on a quest to achieve "nothing but the whole truth", then we don't have to be worried about inconsistency of the panelling process, as long as the number of people on the panel is not an even number. That is where the consistency comes in. The number can be 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 member(s) panel.

  THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THE JUDGE'S SPEECH IS CONFUSING. YOU MAY CALL ME UNEDUCATED BUT THE STATEMENT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE! I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANT TO SAY.

  Why does wisdom come too late for Ghanaians? Prof. Kofi Date-Baah is a former Supreme Court Judge. Was it beyond him to make the suggestions he now eloquently espouses? Did he give reasons conterminously with his judgements always? If not, could he explain why not?

  Prof Date-Bah or whoever, they're all the same people, who talk, talk and talk. And then when they're faced with the realities of life, they sell their conscience, condone and connive with those in power to pervert justice. He Prof, who seems to be delivering those scholastic speeches, speaking so brilliantly, and being praised by many, let's see what he does with this election petition probe that he's been mandated to chair. I hope it won't be another useless, fruitless venture trying to seek the truth. I can only take him serious after the outcome of the probe. CJ appointed him as chairman of a 9-member committee, whose task it is to investigate Vicky's alleged claim, that Nana Oye Lithur played a key role in securing victory for the NDC, because she secretly met the judges prior to the declaration of the election petition results. Too much of the paper talk, let's see the practicalities.

  There is no need for all the judges to publish their individual judgements. There is only a need for majority and minority opinions.
