Atsu,

You are right because Ghanaians would judge a book by the cover. They would not consider the intelligence and efficiency of a person but rather how tall and stupid the person is.

I would advise that we dont put all the blame on Jantuah who is now weak, infirm and probably senile. He has probably lost the ability of discretion and good judgement to restrain himself from expressing the kind of vulgar sentiments that we all harbour from time to time but which we manage to restrain within.

However I would also like to say that many tribes ethnic groups in Ghana continue to practice extremely primitive customs that look down on disabled people.

As an Ashanti, Jantuah has probably been influenced throughout his life to follow or abide by traditional taboos established against disabled people in the Ashanti kingdom. I am made to understand that disabled people are not permitted to enter the residence - or is it the palace of the Asantehene to meet him.

That being so, I suppose that anybody who respects or pays obeisance to the Ashanti kingdom would likewise also look down upon or disrespect disabled people.

So folks lets leave old Jantuah alone and if we are honest with ourselves, let us deal with the source of the problem.

Dont fret folks. Jantuah was once thrown out of Kwame Nkrumahs circle of trusted aids when he stole money belonging to the state and briefly jailed. Im not sure what happened after that but I know that Kwame Nkrumah, true to form, dealt with him well, well.

It was the 1966 coup, an event that he is now castigating, that saved him his dignity. He has since, cleverly exploited that break in governance as well as the higher intelligence, integrity and repute of his own brother who was a more respectable member of the CPP govt, to pose and pretend to be a genuine follower of Kwame Kwame.

The only reason why he thinks that Akosa, a disgraced rapist, can be a better candidate than Greenstreet, is simply because Akosa is of his native Ashanti origin. Jantuah would have better served the interests of the UP-National Liberation Movement bomb-throwers who at the time were agitating for a federal-tribalist system of governance.

Kwame Nkrumah did not "intentionally appointed semi literates to his cabinet so that he will dominate them." The semi illiterates of those days were a thousand times more educated and enlightened the most educated professors of today. Their physical and historical accomplishments are there for all who have brains and eyes, to see. In any case, those who claimed to be educated, were more interested in acts of terrorism and anarchy to solve the young country's problems. They had steadfastly refused to join or assist Kwame Nkrumah in running the country at a time when after almost 500 years of colonial dictatorship of one kind or another, the number of well-educated Ghanaians did not even reach 100.

This is a rather disappointing comment from an elder statesman like Mr. Jantuah. Ivor Greenstreet did not choose his disability. And, more crucially, ideas and the passion to develop a country are not embedded in the legs of a person. Ivor has the brains and the vision, the passion to lead Ghana. How many of the several 'able bodied' leaders that we have had in the past have contributed significantly to the development of Ghana? In my humble opinion, it is not whether the person is disabled or not that points to whether they can lead a nation, but rather the leadership qualities, the programmes and passion for the development of Ghana

Ivor may not win the election not because he is a cripple. He may not win because the party he is leading has been decimated by the NDC. A cripple could lead a strong party to win an election. Ivor may be physically challenged but morally and other spheres he is way above people being touted by Djantuah. Ivor credibility is far higher than the name Djantuah is mentioning. Djantuah is mentioning names that do not have a gram of credibility to it be it socially morally and other otherwise. I rest my case.

I am indeed saddened by Mr Jantuah's comment. Did he actually say that?
Being a cripple does not make one a less human being. All Mr Greenstreet needs is sound mind and intelligence. Do not be deterred Mr Greenstreet, just get on with the campaign and keep your fingures crossed. I stand for correction, I believe there was an American president who was physically challenged.

Drop this argument. It's embarrassing. We were taught in our childhood that we could think about all things but not all things are permitted to be said. Such is a wise person. Anyway, everyone is susceptible to disability

Jantuah, pick up a Colt 45, stick it in your ...and press the trigger.
Your are worse than "disabled".
Did someone say he is a Statesman? Who said so. Get back to me.

Who is Jantuah? I think he never know what might happen to him one day. Being a disabled dont mean that you are unable. Jantuah needs to apologize all PWD otherwise he should be ill-adviced and will deal with law.

That is the most stupidest statement I have heard in a long time. Ghanaians who think that way needs to get out of the Stone Age. It only only takes one person to change that kind of perception. It is a new day, if Ghanaians elect a disabled highly intelligent person, they will see how the world will look favorably towards them. 8 years ago nobody thought a Blackman would be elect twice to lead the US. Please get over yourselves with the bigotry.

I have written many times on this forum that the majority of Ghanaians do not understand that it is good policies that yield good dividends for a country. They judge a good leader by appearance and not by substance. No wonder we end up having idiots as leaders. A leader rules with the brain and not by the limbs. Fools.

I am disappointed from this comment from an eminent person in the land.

'And the voice spake unto him again the second time, what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common'
A word to the wise is enough

I feel ashamed by Jantuah's comment!!! such a comment from a former cabinet minister makes me wonder the kind of people Kwame Nkrumah was working with.
