    How can your talk from your anus. Have to heard the truth or you are just following the lies because you want to believe he actually said that.

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 10 years ago

    Did his excellency John Dramani Mahama mention Ashante Region or Asantifuo during his speech to the NDC supporters in Kumasi? No. Well, did he mention Kumasi? Yes. Now, why did he mention Kumasi in his speech to the NDC suppo ...

    we have always pointed out that mahama is burdened by tribal ethnic hatred for the Akans and could help himself but show his true colors in Kumasi . The fact that there is no Fanti who is a substantiate minister says it all. ...

  • EKOW GHANA 10 years ago

    YOU ARE TO TELL THE WORLD THAT MAHAMA DID NOT SAY WHAT WAS REFERRED TO OR HE SAID IT. WHEN IT IS THE OTHER PERSON, IT'S ALRIGHT BUT WHEN IT'S YOU THEN SOMEBODY DIDN'T DO RIGHT. KWEKU BAAKO ALLAH IS WATCHING YOU. SHAAAME!!!

  • GHANAMAN 10 years ago

    If it was Nana Addo or NPP, Kwaku would be phoning around to know the truth and would not stop till he finds a medium to blare it all out.

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAW WORKS. THE POLICE CAN NOT CHARGE YOU FOR ASSAULTING YOUR WIFE IF SHE REFUSES TO PRESS CHARGES. THINK BOY.

    We do have libel laws on our books. If an unprofessional act borders on criminality, it should not be dealt with by a self regulatory body like the media commission. Kweku Baako is being unnecessarily supportive of an act tha ...

    Some Ghanaians are indeed forgetful to think the Criminal Libel is off our books.

    What a criminal minded nation:
    Pictures can be altered,
    Tapes can be doctored, and
    Documents can be forged.
    Can't we for the love of country do
    The right thing?

    Will there be any investigation to bring to book those who doctored a tape to tarnish the good image of Pastor Mensah Otabil? If you throw a ball at a wall, it bounces back to you.
