I picked this from someone's blog. How apt and fitting it is for the mass of Ghanaians, esp. most who comment on serious issues on Ghanaweb? All they have in comments are insults and tribal taunts.

Why couldn't a single person remind HKP about how the precedence for the practice he was objecting to was set by his beloved NPP, when Kufuor stuffed the SC with more justices in order to overturn the decision Tsatsu Tsikata won against the Fast Court trying him? It was just like ballot box stuffing! HKP is right in objecting to it. Those criticising and insulting him are certainly stupid! In fact, worse!

Hello Chris-Vincent,

I read your recent article titled “Ghana is FOR SALE, Who Wants to Buy? The Chinese, the Koreans or the Americans?” with extreme joy and to be frank, I love the way you were straight with things. Indeed, Ghana is being and has always been ran by people with little or no clue about governance, with no sense of direction and no strong plans for the country despite their many high education titles.

However, even if we sell Ghana to the Chinese, the Americans or the South Koreans as you suggested and bring their leaders here to take charge of affairs, nothing will change because the problems of Ghana are mainly due to the over 22 million citizens and not the few people in power.

Sorry to say, Ghanaians by default are lazy and stupid and as the years go by, they’ve become even more stupid, ignorant and lazy. Ghanaians do not think and they operate as if they have no ability to think. They will rather let some supreme being in heaven do the thinking for them while they pray that things around them be fixed by divine intervention.

Ghana is one hell of a big JOKE and the comedians are the citizens who have no working ethics, resulting in poor productivity which strengthens the chain of poverty.

Look, let me tell you and those who may read this [is] the truth, Ghana will not get any better unless the people begin to behave and think like human beings by starting to use their thinking faculties and borrow the hard working ethics of others. And while at it, they should let go their low self-esteem which controls their desire to be others, admire the food and lifestyle of others without any respect for who they themselves are and what they have.

Once again, let me say that Ghana is a joke and if there is indeed HELL, Ghanaians are already living in hell and are being punished for being so stupid, greedy and lazy.

A Ghanaian does not want to sweat and work hard, but he wants to live like a Queen or a King and they believe their God will do this for them. Instead of working two jobs to improve their condition, they will rather attend church services twice a day to increase the prospects of their prayers being heard. What a bunch of idiots put together in a country called Ghana.

Where in this world will you have so many people as foolish as Ghana, believing in superstition and all manner of nonsense—literally, refusing to critically think and make good use of their brains? It is as if the Ghanaian brain has been injected with ‘stupidity’.

The Educational system in Ghana in itself is pretty useless, all students do is chew and pour, studying stupid subjects like Swahili with no job prospects and when they come out, they blame the economy. What the heck is really wrong with us as people?

Did you not see how sane Ghanaians were fighting over second hand clothes of white men in that BBC documentary with some even saying; they prefer such clothes to the Ghanaian one even if they can afford the latter? We are just useless in thinking, in walking, in running and in making anything better for ourselves.

The leaders of Ghana are Ghanaians so what do you expect? Just like the people, the leaders have the same mind, attitude, work ethics and low thinking speed.

Tell the Ghanaian the truth and he will turn around to insult you. Present a Ghanaian the evidence or the fact and he will opt for superstition and disconnected beliefs.

Offer the Ghanaian a reliable route to change and he will opt for miracles by waiting on God to answer his or her prayers. For Christ sake, there are billions of people in this world praying to God, so why will any sensible person think he or she is so special that his or her prayer will be answered first or immediately?

God has given us brains but we have refused to use that brain, still waiting on God to do the thinking and fix everything for us. So God has come to a realization that we are stupid and he will not even bother with us.

Sometimes, I settle for the assumption that, Ghanaians are doomed. What else will explain our gross stupidity and ethics?

Go and see the Ghanaian gutters and the environment, who makes all those rubbish and puts them in the gutters? We all know it is not the government, rather the people. And when mosquitoes breed and begin to kill them through Malaria, they start blaming the Government, forgetting that they are [the] cause of their own deaths.

While others are thinking forward with a rocket speed, Ghanaians are thinking backwards with a snail speed. We do not think logically and examine things logically to find solutions to our problems; we wait for help from heaven or from foreigners. Why must we always be rescued by others and not by ourselves?

Ghanaians are just losers who love to blame others for their own-caused problems. They will blame everybody but not themselves…

C.Y. ANDY-K, did you understand what the Professor was saying? Why do you always make everything political or tribal you are blaming others of? Why was Kuffour able to do that? Because of the badly drawn 1992 constitution that has been the bane of our democracy.

The Professor is saying set up of our Supreme Court is wrong because it does not cap how many Supreme Court Judges that can be appointed like USA where the Supreme Court has nine members, no more no less and cases are deliberated by all members.

As it is now a President can appoint even hundred supreme Court members and this going for review by all SC members is a waste of time, money and cause for trouble.

Can you imagine if Nana Akuffo Addo had gone for review and the two new members would have turned the 5-4 judgement in Mahama's favor into 6-5 Akuffo Addo's favor and Mahama was forced to turn the Presidency over to Akuffo Addo?

The 1992 constitution is a badly drawn constitution and that is the problem. It allows Politicians to do bad things in their favor personally that harms the majority of society because the constitution allows them. Let address the source of the problem instead of pointing fingers at those who did what the constitution allows them to do.

Where is the problem? I did not see anything substantive in this professor's argument. The essential element in the composition of the review process is the number being odd which I think has been the case. Had he cited Tsatsu vs the State then it could make perfect sense. With Kuffour deliberately parking up the supreme court in order to overturn a good case won by Tsatsu, is rather an overstep of the executive arm of government and not the chief justice. Mr Prempeh your legal prowess would have been very much appreciated if you had reacted just in time to right the wrongs. I would have glorified your legal lenses as fighting for the ordinary Ghanaian and at best an exhibit of constitutional scholarship. Next time be bold and hit the nail just right at the spot.

Professorship and maturity are parallel. You can't walk into another jurisdiction and start firing shots, that's immature. Why don't you consult with the Ghanaian system and make changes. It's not everything that comes from the west, that will necessarily work for Ghana.
Finally where are the legal brains in Ghana? Challenge this professor or what he is saying is true?

I don't see any problem with that. In fact there is no absolute justice because it depends on who the Judges or the people (in the case of jury system) are. Different judges and juries sometimes come to different conclusions based on the same evidence. Justice is sometimes a lottery. I have had experience of favourable or compassionate and non favourable judges.

If the constitution cannot be questioned, why do people call for a review. Even some aspects of the Bible and the Koran can be questioned. For eg, if God created man in his own image, do you believe that verse in the Bible that say "Slaves obey your masters?" Let us be reasonable and tolerant.
