    Dear readers,

    Good day.

    This is my last formal rebuttal to Philip Kobina Baidoo, Jr. I promised to do this even after some of my core readers have consistently advised me to ignore him as the man is not worth any seriou ...

    You are an idiot with a lot of time on your hand. Find something worthwhile to do with your time instead of this unproductive venture that does not solve an iota of problems facing Ghana.

    Your dignified silence on Baidoo"s article was very much appreciated. Shame you did not apply the same principle on this one. I will leave this lovely saying from Sam Rayburn for your perusal.

    Busia did not say that he was going to stay in power indefinitely as Nkrumah did, and he did not declare Ghana as a one-party state either. He was given a 5year mandate to deliver for Ghanaians to judge whether to extend his ...

    You are a complete disgrace and disingenuous to ghanaweb 'residents'. What do you take us for? Neither of the two trokosi duo, Kojo T nor Andy K, made any serious intellectual imput to the on going discourse to warrant suc ...

    Thank you Nii Teiko. I have been wondering why Kwarteng & Prof. Lungu have been avoiding my comments of late. That wouldn't stop me from expressing my opinion though.

    I am more concerned about the future generations of Gha ...

    Irrespective of the "general readership of Ghanaweb" , your " more provocative pieces in the coming weeks" , should be devoted to exploring a doctrine of sustainability for Ghana that would invariably make our future more sec ...

    Dear Marcus,

    How are you?

    Please don't take that I ignore your sentiments when I don't directly respond to them.

    For instance, when you take another look at the first comments (titled "Readers: Important Info On Baid ...

    Kwarteng, it is obvious that your knowledge of what constitutes the body of knowledge, I.e. the discipline, called futuristics or futurology is limited to say the least.

    I am not talking about the "future" per se, I am ref ...

    Marcus,

    Is it only critical,listening skills you took from my response?

    Did you see me mention the science of analystics, time series analysis, stochastic models...?

    I can seem to understand you anymore!

    Thanks.

    Ha! ha! ha! Nyebro Yaw, don't throw your hands into the air and give up on them yet. Just take a breather, concentrate on other things and come back stronger. You'd find them in the same holes - same rat holes - they have dug ...

    Dear Nyebro Yao,

    Good day.

    Thanks for the encouragement, vision, and powerful historical analogies. I simply love them all. Great.

    And like you said, I am not giving up yet. I have to continue from where you left on ...

    Feels like a tag team, Andy-K, I am not preventing Kwarteng from doing what he does best, that is researching and writing. I just want him to expand his research effort by directing him to Bertrand de Jouvenel, the author of ...

  • MARCUS AMPADU 8 years ago

    F. K., I am not disrespecting your effort as a researcher cum writer. I just wanted to direct your research effort to the discipline of futuristics or futurology. It is a body of knowledge we in Ghana and Africa could use.

    I stand by whatever good things I have said about Nkrumah and will never regret it. This should only demonstrate that I am amenable to his praise whenever possible.

    But nothing I have ever said about the man contradicts my ...

    So much about foreign ideological perspectives and intellectuals. Our conversations should be about crafting a more sustainable Ghana in the future both Nkrumah and Danquah would be proud of.

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 8 years ago

    We Danquists were sitting at our somewhere when Prof. Kwarteng and his renegade gang of Nkrumaists started serializing their insults here. They were quite gratuitous in insulting Danquah and Busia over nothing, claiming that ...

    SAS I don't dabble, unlike you, in insults and name calling; your irrational thinking undoubtedly is a disservice to Ghana at the critical time our country is searching for answers to solve her many challenges.
