    Sylvester Mensah, you depict the truth in your interview. This is how a Ghanaian should talk. You are a generation ahead of the present. Those who are spewing insults on you deserved to be shamed for their ineptitude and fail ...

    Kwajo Sei, yours is a voice of pure native Ghanaian intelligence which I hope readers of this article pay heed to for their own benefit. A breath of real fresh air in a miasma of unnecessary toxic fumes!

    looking at the current crisis have we Ghanaians learned any lessons from 1979/81? am afraid we have not.

  • don`t care !!! © Hmmmmm! 9 years ago

    Hmmmmm!i wonder how it look like in those days!

  • Mensima Biney 9 years ago

    And that is precisely why we should. That's the point Sylvester Mensah is making. The essence of lessons is that they need to be learned. That's the point he makes throughout; and he can't be wrong on that, can he?

    The interview may not have produced the desired effect or impart on some listeners, and that is the subjective nature of opinions the interviewee remarked.
