An "honorary doctorate degree"? How cheap has this phenomenon become nowadays? Thief Obasanjo of all people being conferred on with an honorary Phd? Watch my word! This sad world of ours would never survive the next 200yrs! I wish it does but honesty has become a backstage issue----and the whole world is being run by cartels, organized crime families & gangs who honor cheap accolades to individuals who otherwise don't even deserve the privilege of sharing the Lord's free oxygen with sanctified individuals!

How could a university give this warlord a degree? He was involved in the attack on February 18, 1977 on Fela's KALAKUTA Republic leading to the death of Fela's mother Olufunmilayo Ransome Kuti, the first Nigerian woman to drive a car, to visit the Soviet Union.
Fela, on hearing the drama in Tamale would have repeated his song: Some people lost money
Police and army are on a rampage
All is quiet again
Police has gone
Army has disappeared
But they leave sorrow, tears and blood
Their regular trademark.
Obasanjo has no permament friends, but permament interest, remember what he did to warlord Charles Taylor of Liberia?
Do the leaders of UDS know of Professor Abubakar Sadiqque of Ahmadu Bello university? This Tamale born professor, educated in Kumasi and Paris (Real Amass) was attacked by Obasanjo's area boys when he and other academics said 'No' to Obasnajo's third term bid. Beaten well well as they say in Nigeria.
Yes President Obansajo helped Ghana under Kufour with cash and vehicles for the police through his good pal General Joshua Hamidu, he does not deserve an honourable doctorate. That belongs to Minna born General Abdul Salam Abubakar, who returned our great neighbour to liberal democracy.Obasanjo is like a loose horse at the grand national. It is was big mistake similar to what president Kufour did in naming a road after this warlord.

Indeed, I'm really hurt by this idiotic "accolade"! Won't the satanic leader of the dreaded Boko Haram be better served with this "honor" than long-mouth Obasanjo?

This is just payback time for his support for Mahama and the rigged elections. I wonder how much these degrees cost these days. What a shame!

For this Obasanjo trained his people as armed robbers and fraudsters and migrating to the country to kill innocent Ghanaians and rob them as well. This and these 419 Nigerians shouldn't be tolerated in the country.

If you take a cow to the river side and give it a wash, put the best of the Italian Giorgio Armani Berverly Hills Eau De Toilet perfume and cosmetically design him with an X Factor make ups and put a bunch of golden chains around his neck, it will still remain a cow and it cry will be the same, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Obasanjo, the Nigerian master criminal who as a General and Head of State violently deprived his own villager people of their lands and took them as slaves to work on his farm is now in disgusting tango with the bisexual man we unfortunately have here in Ghana as "President" John Maha-mad

It's a shame they can't hide their criminally self centered deeds.

Why was Obasanjo here defending NDC led Mahama at the time of the elections as head of the ECOWAS observing team which was not his dutifully right, and why did Mahama as immediately as "President" travelled all the way to London in the UK for a presupposed Obasanjo book launch? mmmmmmm!

It is said show me your friend and I tell you your character or better still when you will die.

Hopefully ex-President Kufour whose disastrous political contribution has brought Ghana on her knees is uncomfortably turning in his seat watching how mischievous people you call friends can be and after all, are no friends at all but hidden enemies.

The monster master criminal Obasanjo indeed took our democracy away by announcing a rigged election here as free and fair, so why not a dog given doctorate decree for the best criminal among the guinea fowls?

General Obasanjo is the course of insecurity in Nigeria.He does not respect the views of his country men and turned the landscape of Nigerian politics into military laboratory. He did not worry about the problems in his country but was clever in amassing wealth for himselve and his cronies.How was he chosen to become the head of election observer team in Ghana\:He should stay in his country to find a way of bringing peace there than poking his nose into ghanaian politics.

Obasanjo is one of the most corrupt leaders in Africa. Besides, he slept with his son's wife!

In 1993, Rawlings used his personal "hunger award" money to start that University. Has he been recognized, in a country where Leaders cling to money and steal money like their breath depends on it? Its a big shame.

When UDS tried to honor him in 2006, Kuffour and his men vehemently disagreed and stopped it.

Is it not surprising that foreign universities like Lincoln University and city university of New York rather conferred honorary doctorates on this gentleman?

How are we motivating our citizens of recognition when they help our nation. It saddens me that sheer hatred, hatred, hatred, crude, unrefined unreasonable hatred has engulfed Ghanaians so much that, nothing good done by their "enemies" is ever seen.

I long to see our own JJ Rawlings climb up the podium at UDS to colect his long overdue Doctorate. Then, UDS will be countered among fully fledged universities.

Your admonishment to the doctors is well articulated and you did not mince words as a stateman. It is only with discernment that you can appreciate the wisdom in what he has said. Ask the sick who could not see a doctor and they will tell you how they feel in relation to what the our father has said.

H.E, you have said it all. God bless you for such bold speech.

The comments in bad taste seem to link give the doctors a certain political colouring and we should be very careful about such developments in our dear county.

A Nigerian University confers an honouary doctorate to the current president of Ghana, Mr. John Mahama; whilst UDS also confers one on Obasanjo.
It also appears that Obasanjo now resides in Ghana and has become Mr. John Mahama's advisor, and therefore, Mr. John Mahama's Co-President.
Now, the new Co-President of Ghana is called Mr. Obasanjo from Negeria.
Congrats, Mr. John Dramani Mahama. This is excatly what Ghana needs since it has been determined that your "election" in 2012 was an ERROR.
Mr. John Dramani Mahama is now the First Ghana ERROR PRESIDENT.

What about JJ who established the university? May be it was a planned thing because Obasanjo's brother in crime, KUFUOR was also honoured by UGL last weekend. God will punish those VCs.
