I just hate this our generation where everything is politicized. Aseidu Nketia made an unpardonable mistake by wearing a ladies Coat. this is simple instead of apologizing he keeps defending himself. Whether NPP,NDC,CPP or whoever is leading this country, you need to know how to dress appropriately period.

A local politician on an international political trip accompanying the president of Ghana who has no education, political correctness, manners and etiquette on diplomatic dress sense and there is no one in the ndc to advise and counsel him on matters of diplomatic protocol. sorry the Ndc has no class. It is not surprising they have no finese in thought and political action. They were birthed politically in hooliganism, disorder and lack of tact and respect; famously known as bugabuga with their boom founder JJ Yokogari Rawlings the mass murder of 1979

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

If trivial why is it making the news all over? Dressing inappropriately is not acceptable, especially when representing the country abroad. Asiedu should just concede he made a mistake, and then shut up so the issue will go away. We have become a bunch of fools, explaining every criticism by some political explanation.

But where on earth did the NDC pick this piece of rubbish from? Even by the infamously low standards of the NDC, this guy is totally out of touch with reality.

Can somebody tell him, first of all that, men dont wear 'dresses'? Men wear shirts, trousers, coats or the best generic term to use would be 'clothes'.

Where he comes from, we all know it really doesnt matter, so long as you have got a piece of loin-cloth or a grass skirt to cover your 'birthday clothes'. However if you are going to venture out into the big wide world, one needs to pay attention to what one wears. I can very well imagine the kind of remarks that the German members of Angela Merkels govt would have made in jest concerning Asiedu-Nketsias outfit. Wunderbar!, look at that nigger in a ladies fur coat. Had he taken this transvestite dressing to Britain, he would surely have been a hit with the sexually depraved members of the British political elite and who knows, he may have received a few approaches of the amorous kind.

On a more serious note, the fur on that coat - if real, would have also attracted a lot of venom from the strong and powerful European animal rights lobby.

If, as he Asiedu-Nketsia is saying, what he wore did not matter, why then didnt he wear a pink mini skirt and a yellow blouse to match? Jesus Christ! Ghana is in trouble ooooooh!

IT IS DIFFICULT FOR A FOOLISH FOLLOWER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IMAGE AND PERCEPTION IS. THEY THEREFORE DON'T VALUE THESE. NO WONDER, EVEN NORTH KOREA DOESN'T RESPECT THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY, BUT TO SAY A PRAYER FOR FOOLISH FOLLOWERS OF THE USELESS NDC PARTY. THEY CAN ONLY OFFER THE PEOPLE OF GHANA DIVISION, TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION AND TRIBAL POLITICS.

O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Lord, there are too many office to office beggars in Ghana, that is a sign of poverty, kick those who encourage this out of office. Merciful Father, too many FOOLISH VOTERS who have no sense of dignity are rewarded with trips to soccer matches only to go and sleep on the floor in foreign land, and eventually seek asylum, stamp that disgraceful spirit out of Ghana. Lord, you have blessed us with everything that can make us rich, but you seemed to have forgotten to protect mother Ghana from greedy politicians and thieves; we call on you to rise and let these nation wreakers scatter in 2016. Amen

Instead of the NPP telling Ghanaians what they are going to do differently and better than this government, they are all over the place making monkey of themselves. Ghanaians careless what Asiedu wears.What they are looking for is the one who can turn things round.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has filed a report on Mr Asiedu Nketia winter coat which has generated media attention in Ghana.
Mr Asiedu Nketia’s coat captured in a number of photographs during President Mahama’s recent visit to Germany has been the talk of town in Ghana with some describing it as feminine.
“In an interview with a Kumasi based radio station, Hello FM on Friday morning, the NDC General Secretary explained he was aware that coat was feminine.
See the BBC report below:
Ghana: Senior official wears wife's coat on state visit
A senior official in Ghana's ruling party has laughed off criticism for wearing his wife's coat during an official visit to Germany, it's reported.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia, general secretary of the National Democratic Congress, was snapped wearing a camel-coloured, fur-trimmed number on the trip, and was promptly ridiculed by fellow politicians and social media users, the Graphic website reports. Mr Nketia says nobody in Germany mentioned his choice of attire, but it was a different story back home in Ghana, where one opposition politician seized on the fashion choice as evidence of a "totally confused" administration.
Mr Nketia has met the mockery with good humour, and says he isn't bothered by the fuss. "When we embark on a state visit... we are going to use our brains to help the country, not to showcase our attire at fashion show," he said in a radio interview, adding that he didn't see the point in buying a new coat for such a fleeting visit. And it seems there is an upside to being ridiculed for your fashion choices. In an interview published on the Ghana Vibes website Mr Nketia says: "I can hit my chest and say that I'm the only political party executive to chart a new fashion trend."

Other than giving the NPP activists opportunity to criticize him with, Nketiah wearing a lady's coat by mistake is excusable. Ghanaians should chill and give him a break. Most people overseas probably did not notice it and don't care any. The sky did not fall in Ghana because of this mistake. By the way, some Ghanaians have described the coat as a fur coat, which is not.

Your claim that he has been wearing that coat on his several overseas travel is false. According to Nketiah, he mistakenly packed his wife's coat instead of his. I will give him the benefit of doubt, because he has admitted to this mistake.

A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stop.

The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says.

While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked

"Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?"

So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss.

After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous

Why are you committing suicide?"

No, you're wrong. Gay men do not wear women's cloth. You're probably referring to transvestites, who are different from gays. Besides, wearing a lady's coat by mistake doesn't mean you are gay.

After such internationally recognised diplomatic gaffe in ,terms of protocol the hard nosed y3ntie obiara Asiedu Nketia in his ignorance is still insisting that he has not done anything in terms of protocol and etiquette, wrong and fuck everybody else including all constructive critics.

This is the nature of the beast called NDC, their leadership and supporters. With this attitude is it surprising that the Ghana bus has run to the IMF ditch on way to HIPIC. It has been in first gear for 6 years and the engine is breaking up despite all advice to change down to 4th gear. The fruits of y3ntie obiara is being reaped in different ways including Asiedu Nketia's dress code on foreign diplomatic trips at the expense of GHANA

If Mr. Nketia understood diplomatic etiquette/image, he would understand why people are saying what he did affects the image of our country. Perhaps he didn't understand that he was on a STATE visit, the highest level visit accorded a foreign president, not an official visit or working visit.

In any area of life there are certain standards of behaviour accepted as the norm.The NDC General Secretary did not observe that standard.His dressing was incongruous. He forgot he was in a company of distinguished people representing Ghana.He cannot explain that away by the flimsy excuse that he did not waste money on new clothes for three-day visit. It simply show he does not know state protocol and very uncouth, period.

You are a political disgrace to this country. You never new how to dress all this while, some of us are not surprised because the only cloth you know how to wear is the Fugu.

Asiedu, when you are on a state visit you represent Ghana. This is not your own private visit. There will be no red carpets for you if you go on a private visit. To dress as you did like a stupid fool is a disgrace to all Ghanaians. It just shows the kind of leadership we have. A bunch of jokers. Ask your son to wear a ladies blouse to his next job interview if you think you should be applauded for this. This is how you disgraced every Ghanaian with your stupid flight of millions of dollars in cash. The first thing a 10 year old boy watching the TV asked was whether we had banks in Ghana. Even a 10-year old saw the folly in that. You are just ignorant, pure and simple. A bunch of wild foul mouthed jokers

Does Mosquito understand that he went to Germany on the nation's purse? If he has a little common sense left, he should be ashamed of himself for humiliating our country!

In the west appearances are more important than substance. This is true when you are begging for help. The Germans will read a lot in the appearance of the delegates/ entourage and it is bound to affect and decisions on business or financial help they might consider. . Can we take these people serious? Look at what he is wearing!

This villager should be told openly that once he decides to use a diplomatic passport he cannot break acceptable protocol and wear his wife's coat. Once they lose the next elections he can wear female clothing when he travels outside the country. He would be representing his family and his village.

Wu ye kurasini to say this, kurasini Mosquito, you know what, people thought you were mad or confused. I did watch the presidents visit with some friends in Holland. To my surprise a guy from Poland asked if the guy in a female coat was also a member of cabinet. I felt ashamed of myself as a result. Just shut up Nketia, because your noise makes me angry. Apology or no apology, you are a disgrace to mother Ghana.

This guy is just an imbicile who has just been given so much attention in Ghana's political scene, which i think is a travesty to our political dispensation. The man does not even know what to wear when on a state visit and yet we waste our precious time trying to reason with his unpardonable behaviour. No wonder NDC government always selling us cheap by signing hopeless contracts on behalf of the state, because our international partners will never take us serious with comedians like Asiedu Nketia on government's travels.

Even those in Europe do not care what someone wears to protect them against the cold. Do we not have more serious problems to devote our time for?

Looking at Nketia alone should tell us, how unserious he is.How can a whole top man wear a woman*s jacket. He very lucky is not before the Queen of England.
