Surely a better case can be made against Ocquaye's revisionist reading of our history than what Bokor has served us here. And it can even be made in fewer words.
Apparently, Bokor himself has an agenda of discrediting others. In that way, he is not better than those he is trying to rebutt. A more impartial rendition of our history that fairly states the relative contributions of our early politicians to our country's founding is needed. Nkrumah stands tall in this history but Bokor has not done any credit to the narrative. What a shame!

Joni and you are so right. There is simply a lack of intellectualism in this writer's piece: no decorum, no self-respect, just rubble-rousing. This is more than a shame pity. The writer should ask himself three basic questions: (1)who is/are his audience(s)? (2)what is the purpose of his article? (3)Could he have presented the same facts with a more mature and non-abrasive manner?. I respect Professor Mike Ocquaye at least, for demonstrating such decorum: He never denigrated Dr. Nkrumah the way this writer has, in his reaction to Professor Ocquaye's article. My simple advice is this: As an intellectual (Dr) it is in the writer's supreme interest to always address the ISSUES at stake. The two-letter word, "Dr" should always remind those who hold the title to be circumspect in all that they do.

Fake leaders claim thrones without building kingdoms as pepeni has done by murdering mills . today there is another divide and that is the north south whereby these Muslims think its their god given right to plunder and oppress the Akans. Just as pharaoh had pestilence after pestilence , no water , no electricity , no infrastructure , no development, chinese locusts poisoning our lands and waters ,corruption and death everywhere and the people suffer. they are blind to see the will of God and in their selfish fantasies think its a right or their turn to pillage the coffers . they send their chariots or special police and army to try in put fear in the children of God the Akans . we are told their plan is to start shooting first and again blame the Akans so we must now prepare and make sure when they do not a single one leaves alive . we number millions and can never be defeated by your mischievous fools . THe lord has promised us freedom and nobody with their trickery and biased toilet carrying pepeni judges can stop it.It is time to take the children to the villages and prepare to defend ourselves against this evil pepeni , long live the republic of Akan

You're right. It's very funny and corny that some people go about calling themselves "Dr". It's so old fashioned. People with PhDs write PhD after their names in any article even academic ones.

Even Okoampa and Akadu do not call themselves Dr so so. They write their names, and then add PhD at the end. That is the practice.

Fellow Ghanaians
In his attempt to subjugate the Ghanaian people to deceipt and fraud Pro. Ocquaye tries to whitewash our history with his clever arguments. These are people regarded as automatically cultured and well housebroken yet they are agregious fools who are so foolish that they stand out from the herd.
Pro. Ocquaye's analysis and analogies about the Ghanaian history is intricate, far fetched and, finally cold. His re-write of history almost always has some brainiless about it that misses the meaning of logic.
Dr. Bokor, what do you expect! To my mind, Ocquaye's intellect is as much of a fantanstic figment of the imagination as the old chimera itself. Indeed to disagree would be an admission that Pro. Qcquaye has an IQ no higher than an unreplaced divot.
His view from his own narrow mind- bonded by hate suggests that his intellect has been greatly exaggerated. Thanks for seeking to expose the falsity of these conventional thieves.
By the way, greetings from our brothers and sisters in Israel; expecially to the Ghanaian Jews.
Ocquaye's history is a cavalcade of comics

Dr. Bokor Please go back and read the address given by Prof Ocquayeh. He never claimed anywhere that Danquah founded Ghana. He in fact said to the effect that Ghana was there, they needed independence from the colonial rule and change their name. Danquah and his colleagues decleared the nation's preparedness to rule themsleve and during that declaration mentioned that their name is to be changed from gold coast to Ghana and our independence should be decleard on the 6th March. These are facts. The british founded Gold Coast which is Ghana today. Were a bundle of tribes and they forced us into one country call Gold Coast and that country was handed over to Kwame Nkrumah as first president. The only people close to founding Ghana could have been the kings of Ashanti. They fought to put most tribes into the Ashanti state and made most part of the present day Ghana part of Ashanti

A woman wanted to reach her husband on his mobile phone but discovered that she was out of credit, she instructed her son to use his own phone to pass across an urgent message to his daddy who was on site. After junior had called, he got back to Mommy to inform her that there was a lady that picked up Daddy's phone the three times he tried reaching Dad on the mobile.
She waited impatiently for her husband to return from work and upon seeing him in the driveway; she rushed out and gave him a tight slap. Then she slapped him again for good measure.
People from the neighbourhood rushed around to find out what the cause of the commotion was. The woman asked junior to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he called.
Junior said: "The subscriber you have dialed is not available at present. Please try again later."

Brother,this got nothing to do with my Ga brothers and sisters.It has everything to do specifically,with both Ocquaye and Otoo,for exploiting their ethnicity to help themselves - while ignoring the teeming masses of Ga people who need REAL HELP.
It may interest you to note that, yours truly has,on several occasions, condemned his own Akan politicians and Northerners - who have sought high positions within NPP and NDC to better themselves,instead of helping the people who voted them into office.
By the way,yours truly considers himself a Ghanaian first,then a man who belongs to all ethnic groups in Ghana.And will continue to speak against ALL tribalists - including those who benefit from their ethnicity.For instance,Obetsebi-Lamptey(son of a terrorist)would not be where he's today,had it not been for the fact that Akufo-Addo wanted a non-Asante/Akyem to play a secondary role within the party - and to give NPP the coloration of a "national party".
Lamptey seized the opportunity - as the most important Ga in NPP,to enrich himself and even bought a government house on the cheap.What did he do to help his kinfolk in the AMA area?The same can be said about Bartels and Sekyi-Hughes,as well as politicians from the north.

Dr. Bokor, you seem to belong to the old school! You distort history to suit your selfish interests and expectations. Danquah deserves a place n history. Of course it would be unfair to steal Nkrumah's place for him. He deserves his own place. A leader must be praised for what he could do. Of course, we must also speak against their shortcomings so that others would not emulate. You seem to have personal hatred for Danquah and the likes of his. Is it because of his tribe? Nkrumah, like Danquah and the other contemporaries, was no angel either. Each had his/her shortcomings. And most of the allegations against them tend out, after vigorous research, to be untrue. But we must praise them for their contributions so as to encourage others to also contribute. Denying Danquah or other members of "THE BIG SIX" a place in history would be a great miscarriage of justice. As experience as we perceive you to be, we expect that you overcome you tribal sentiments and PHD (Pull Him/Her Down) attitude.
We are all Ghanaians and we must be able to cross tribal barriers to selflessly give "Daavi" or "Owusu", "Akwele" or "Abdul" Caesar" his/her due. Thanks for the understanding.

You are a big fool indeed. You conveniently omitted the atrocities visited on innocent victims by Nkrumah's Action Troopers while calling others bomb throwers. Your ancestors are the original " mate meho" Go on the web and find out Trans Volta Togoland and read nyebro Kofi Amenyo's piece. The CPP and NDC propaganda is falling apart like a pack of cards and there is nothing you can do about it.left to you nation wreckers the whole country should go back to the dictatorship of Nkrumah.

Borkor,thanks for this wonderful piece on the historical distortions of history by the so-called professor Ocquaye and that Ayikoi Otoo who is not even fit to unlace the shoes of Osagyefo.These are political dwarfs who are using lies to get political attention at a time when their party is using unorthodox means to get power.Who is J.B.Danquah when it comes to Osagyefo's standing in international politics? At best he can be known as being on the payroll of the CIA.

Kwame Ahoofe Okoampa from the territory he had laid claim to for several years now unchallenged. I believe this foray was not only ill-timed,the historical record is also not on his side. He should quietly abandon the effort.

You still could not disprove why JB is the founder. You made a lot of noise and some incoherent statements but could still not disprove it.
All Ocquaye is saying is that before Nkrumah arrived, the struggle to free this parcel of land and the name to be given it, Ghana, had been started by JB. So if anybody is to be credited with the founding of this piece of land now called Ghana it should be JB Danquah and his colleagues.
It is a rare piece of genuine history that has no strings attached. So all your noise making and inferences have no bearing on what Ocquaye wrote.
When can Ghanaians be free and fair for once? Especially some of those who call themselves learned?
That's a piece of crap you wrote over there Borkor. Shame on you.

Surely a better case can be made against Ocquaye's revisionist reading of our history than what Bokor has served us here. And it can even be made in fewer words.
Apparently, Bokor himself has an agenda of discrediting oth ...
