All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

REVERT TO OHENE DJAN STADIUM, NOW!
the topic of the AMA being caught in National Democratic Congress politics, especially with the decision to remove the name Ohene Djan from the signpost of the sporting edifice in Accra.
Expect the bearded Mayor to defend his corner. He insisted that the changing of the name was in respect of the exercise of the right of the AMA to name streets and monuments in the national
capital. I put it to him that the renaming of the Jubilee House to Flagstaff House was without the input of the AMA, and that when the Black Star Square became Independence Square the AMA never
raised a finger. I assured him that so long as some of us continue to live, Ohene Djan would be back. He threatened to summon me before the full assembly of the AMA to show why I should not be
disciplined for flouting the rules of the assembly. I assured him that I was prepared to face the Sanhedrin. OKO IS WAY IN OVER HIS HEAD. IF OKO VANDERPUIJE SHOULD CONTEST THE ACCRA MAYORAL JOB
AGAINST A BEARDED, HAIRLIKE MONKEY FROM THE BUSH OF GH NATIONAL COLLEGE.. TRUST ME, THE MONKEY WILL WIN!
HOW CAN YOU COWTE TO THE DEMANDS OF THESE NON TAX PAYING, NON EDUCATED GA YOUTHS N CHANGE THE NAME OHENE DJAN TO ACCRA SPORTS STADIUM. IS OKO ON DRUGS?
THE AMA DOES NOT OWN THE STADIUM. IT IS PUBLIC PROPERTY OWNED BY THE GOVT OF GH. JUST BCOS THE STADIUM IS IN ACCRA DOES NOT MEAN THAT AMA OWNS IT. IF AMA WANTS TO OWN THE STADIUM.
THEY SHOULD BUY THE STADIUM FROM THE GOVT OF GH. THE ONLY RIGHT TO NAME CHANGING AMA HAS IS WITH THE PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLIC TOILETS N GA MANTSE CHIFTANCY SEATS IN ABOSSEY OKAI, MANPROBI, TESHIE, NUNGUA ETC....
I DONT WANT HEAR ABOUT GA DISENFRANCHISING ETC. THATS TYPICAL INWARD LOOKING TALK. THE KMA HASNT CHANGED THE NAME BABA YARA. DO U SEE ANY DISENFRANCHISEMNT FROM THE ASHANTIS?

He is the person imposing his will on those people, he is a dictator although he lived in America for years.

He did the same thing naming the historically High Street after President Mills without regard to authority which is the presidency.

Somebody, if he does not know should let him know that Ghana is not a Federal State for him to think Accra belongs to him and like Kwesi Pratt said he should stop calling himself a Mayor which our constitution does not recognize and the media should also ceased calling him as such.

This man has no respect for authority to know that we have a president in the country who should be taking those decisions.

Is he aware he does not even report to the vice president let alone the president but rather he reports to the Regional Minister?

He should just go, enough of this disgrace to the NDC and the nation.

Corney, these are some of the people making Mahama's work hard. I used to have tons of respect for him when he started to rid Accra of slums and sellers on pavements and roads. He has grown horns too long they can even pierce the president's armor. If it were in the USA where he was a school administrator, he would have been gone for long. When Accra sports stadium was named after Ohene Djan, this same idiot led a bunch of Ga fools to change the name because Ohene Djan is not a Ga. Is that what USA taught him? No wonder he was a failure in school administration in the USA. Why did the Ashantis maintain Baba Yara for the Kumasi stadium.

In the USA he would not have got that position having got a plea bargain from prosecutors
He tried to get rid of the sellers on the pavements but that did work, not work, they are back on the streets.

Come on! Oko Vanderpuiye never held any high position in the US. He was an administrator of aan ordinary school and even there, he stole some funds which had to be hurriedly paid back before the matter was laid to rest for him to be appointed as head of the AMA.

My problem is that, why is it that all govts come into power and appoint such low level (Team Z) characters to manage the AMA - ET Mensah, Adjiri Blankson and now this one. Why?

Please let us reduce the rate at which we vilify Mr Vanderpuiye. The poor man was only used. who says he never informed anybody or the Presidency before taking that action? How can Vanderpuiye take such a decision without the knowledge of those who matter? I strongly believe he surely did. it was just that when those hypocrites, including the Presidency, saw the bad route of the issue, decided to pull themselves out and leave blame on that poor MCE to suffer the heckles.

We had this same embarrasment with Jubilee flagstaff house, it is people like this power drunk chief executive that makes the work of the president difficult and make it appear he does not have control. That is what they did during Mills era and some of them don't seem to have learnt any lessons. The only way to instill dicipline amongst some of these elected people is to start firing them so other take a cue.

Only people who don't do anything can't make a mistake. Vanderpuiye is at least doing something and there is clear indication that he changed the name of a stadium and everybody kept silent giving him by our silence authority to proceed again and again.

We are too harsh with Mr Vanderpuiye. we shouldn't show our personal hatred against the man. It's better someone who was educated in USA be a Mayor than the person who never went anywhere and does not know anything beyond the nearest mountain. Give him his chance and just define him a clear mandate. He is not a fool. To rename a stadium can't cost someone his post, aabah!

Is tithe payable on bribes and other nefarious activities?

That's the question the clergy should be answering because if bribe and other black money is rejected by the clergy, a lot of our problems will go away. People will stop using fraud to win elections (I am talking about ALL political parties).

So, clergy stop burying your Sakawa heads (I don't mean Presby, Roman and other respectable churches) in sand and collecting stolen monies as tithes.

My other major concern is why is the Ghanaian/black bigot such a big fat complainant about racism. Fuck all Ghanaian/black bigots!!

This man was a problem for the late Professor Mills and continues to be to the NDC as a party. When the late Professor was preaching and trying to fulfill his “I care for you promise”, then he was fighting the poor Hawkers on the street. These hawkers have been to the street because majority of them have been affected by the then Dr. Kwesi Botchwey PAMSCAD Programs which he failed to compensate them adequately to enable them resettle fully. Others too have suffered from the Kotoko /Asec encounter and compensation to the victims landed in Dr.Obed Asamoah’s bedroom. From Salifu Amankwah to Agyeri Bla nkson,all attempt have been futile because they need alternative livelihood which the Government has not been able to offer.
The former President Kuffour in his wisdom devised a system that moved them from one scene to the other and instead of improving upon it he failed to learn from the past and applied force. Most of them lost their capital and we are back to square one because the reality is about survival. The then Regional Minister did all that he could and this man had his way and was backed by the "man of peace".
Former President Rawlings could lead people to clean the gutters and this man is there and Accra is now littered with rubbish and all that he does is to rename State Properties including private ones.
What even breaks the camel's back is the deliberate creation of unemployment by his actions. Market was engulfed in fire and whilst those who have lost their properties are grieving over it he went to the extent of bulldozing those that are not affected and pronounced his readiness to give the land to Chinese Investors. Does the land belong to him as a MCE or the Chiefs? Any party that comes to power should investigate and prosecute him.
Former President Rawlings would now bow his head in shame that after killing some Ghanaians over corruption, he supervised the sale of most of the properties left by the late Dr.Nkrumah and issued white paper to cover some of his Ministers who were found wanting including Rtd.Col.Osei Owusu whilst his descendants auctioned State cars at unreasonable prices to themselves courtesy the late Victor Smith and Carl Wilson and recently Woyome Saga as well as the Akonfem Projects.
The late President Mills and President Mahama have reversed the gains of Former President Kuffour not to mention his social intervention that saw the gradual improvement of school enrollment due to the school feeding program, National Health Insurance Scheme, Transit Bus System and what have you. Is this the Social Democratic Party? Ghanaians should not be surprised that despite the oil discovery we may go back to join the Highly Indebted Countries. Talk of the STX deal and pothole filling that has now become monthly expenditure that runs into serious wastage of fund in the name of youth employment scheme.
You have lost track of the probity and accountability concept and are now embarrassment to the Founder. He should humbly resign.Where is KOFI WAYO?

Intellectual Property Right Experts should demand adequate compensation for this woman for both the National flag and the hockey pitch.

The majority of the land occupied by you lots was giving to you through the magnanimity of Akuapims (which Ohene Djan and Grandma Theodosia are natives of), the Akems and the Ashantis; even the city was built on resources from other regions and this is their reward for their generosity? No wonder you have your roots from Nigeria...leopard cannot change it's spot I guess
