    all what isw important in this world is to give your life to Christ so when you die God would receive you. Our days here are numbered, give your life to Jesus today. There is no time.

    some unbelievers have better chances of going to heaven than the class you term as born again

  • shey-Gelege 10 years ago

    The pastors of Mandelas days were not ready to die for their people but Mandela who may not be a xtian was ready to offer his life to free his people. God knows better than the empty slogan "born again"

    I respect Cameroon Dodou but I think he has embellished his credentials with Madiba.
    How did ANC establish office in Ghana if Nkrumah did not support them. ANC is a break away party from PAC.
    Russia hosted ANC whilst C ...

  • Paul Amuna 10 years ago

    Mandela had made a trip around various African capitals seeking support for the ANC and Ghana was one of his stops. Much as I respect Cameron Duodu's work overall, one thing he has failed to tell us is why Nkrumah may not hav ...

  • artey 10 years ago

    Some of you cannot distinguish between fact and comment. Cameron Duodu is merely telling us WHAT MANDELA TOLD HIM. If you think Mandela is a liar, say so. But you would have to tell us why he would lie against Nkrumah. Did he ...

  • African Personality 64-66 10 years ago

    Cameron Duodu is a dubious person (like so many others in post-Nkrumah Ghana). He is a known anti-Nkrumahist and a supporter of the 66 coup. In fact he worked as one of the propandists at GBC who engaged in the legitimization ...

    Nkrumah did not see him. Nelson held it against him for a long time. Nkrumah supported PAC as against the ANC . Mandela was not a born again. But he was not a communist. The ANC is akin to the NDC and the PAC would be more li ...

    We thank God Almighty that NDC sycophants acknowledge the difference between NDC and CPP.

    NDC supports those who overthrew Nkrumah like CIA boys Kotoka and Nunoo-Mensah. You even want to employ and waste govt money on the ...

    Don't use that name. It's not polite

  • Kobena 10 years ago

    Yes, Mandela details that incident in his autobiography, "Long Walk to Freedom!"

  • Paul Amuna 10 years ago

    Kobena, I found the lack of engagement and refence to Nkrumah in Mandela's autobiography conspicuous by its absence. Can you please indicate which pages in his biography I can find this particular rfeference. May be I missed ...

    You should be ashamed of yourself for adopting such an obscene moniker, which means clitoris.

    And you should be doubly ashamed for impugning the integrity of someone who is so full of integrity that he would not kowtow t ...

    An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old man overboard. They searched for days and couldn't’t find him ...

    Mr Cameron Duodu, ti's rare to get genuine journalists like you these days. You are also a hero in your job. Mandela wouldn't have met you several times if you weren't a responsible, competent and professional journalist. As ...

  • African Personality 64-66 10 years ago

    I find it incredible that you were a pioneer and do not mention that the pioneers were taught a song in honour of Mandela and seeking his release. What about even "Sikalele Africa" (God BlessP Africa)? In fact GBC often would ...

    Mr Cameron Duodu, please ignore this twat. He is one of the people whose brains were lobotomised by the more primitive sections of the CPP. You bstated clearly that it was the rivalry between A K Barden and Ako Adjei that mig ...
