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

All the childish ignorants,Mr Mills had an inoperable cancer resulting in major organ failure that killed him quickly.His past reveals a man who chain- smoked and, instead of talking about the ill-effects of smoking cigarettes,we are back in our primitive elements throwing around conspiracy theories.Mr Mills was not a private person,and the government which he led can lay this matter to rest finally by informing the nation how the president died. Mr Samuel Mills should know that a person with a terminal cancer can die anytime,even what medical doctors say can be speculative at times.Ghana is not a secret society,give us a break!

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Samuel Kofi Atta-Mills, whilst I sympathise with you, you may not have known everything about your father's state of health. Your father appeared very unwell physically and his voice also sounded strange, especially just before and after he went to the US for the medical check up. Parents, including myself hide their health issues from their children because they do not want them to worry about them.

Perhaps, your late dad did not want you to know about his ailing health, so his sudden death would not make sense to you, particularly, since you saw him that morning and he appeared perfectly fine to you and was preparing to travel. Do you question why he told you he wanted to relax that morning instead of going for a walk with you? Could it be that he felt bad and therefore could not go for the walk but did not want you to know?

Ghanaians may never know what really killed your father and there will always be speculation, rumours and conspiracy theories about what killed him and how he died (whether by natural or other sinister cause). It's a shame. Whatever killed him or caused his death, may he rest in eternal peace.

As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today.

"My dad was my best friend..."

It's obvious from the original interview below that this shameless NPP mouthpiece called "piece" fm has twisted the guy's interview he granted NPP's public enemy number radio-Radio Gold. Indeed, the NPP and its Minnows in the media were expecting the guy to lash at and denounce his father and the NDC and they're disappointed that didn't happen, hence this shameless twist to what he said. Below is a true account from the Daily Graphic.

______________________________

There are many ways to miss one’s daddy, especially so if he is your biggest inspiration who suddenly passed on to the world beyond. For young Samuel Kofi Atta Mills, the phone calls he no longer can place to his late father, Prof. John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills to seek his counsel on any issue; the birthday greetings from dad that will no longer bell the phone; and in fact, the ‘little, little things’ he no longer can share with him are among the most he will miss.

For some strange reason, he did not go to work on the Tuesday morning that the president died, and he had decided to go to Osu to get something for himself after a good morning chat with dad. Then the call came announcing the sad news. But when God calls you, what else can one do really?

“Such is life I guess”, Kofi Sam told Accra based Radio Gold 90.5 FM on Friday morning, when asked how he took his father’s demise.

Sharing his fondest memories of his late father for the first time on radio when he granted what was thought to be his first public interview to Radio Gold, Kofi Sam said not only was his dad his biggest inspiration, the late President J.E.A. Mills was also fond of him and told him how much he loved him.

Below are excerpts of the interview Kofi Sam, as he is affectionately called and who had his primary school education at the University Primary School in Cape Coast, granted Obuobia Darko-Opoku who hosted the programme.

What was he like, was he a very strict father? Was he one that would pull you in your place when you go wrong?

I wouldn’t say he was very strict but he was definitely a man of principle. I mean he wouldn’t have to tell you that this was wrong and stuff, I mean even by him just looking at you and the kind of person that he was, he kind of instil that value in you like naturally so you k now … what to do and what not to do. We got along very well and all those values and stuff make me who I am at the moment.

As you moved to the UK to continue your education you took one week off to come and live with him in the Castle while he was the president of Ghana, how was that period for you?

I hadn’t been to Ghana for a very long time and in 2011 I decided to come down because I wanted to come down and also learn a bit more about the country and stuff so I spoke to him, we had a very good talk about it and he said why not, actually he was literally imposing it on me to come down because I was two ways about it so kind of, persuaded me to come. So I came down, I started work here, I studied Construction Management so I worked in the construction industry, and yea I stayed in the Castle with him as a father and son.

Every morning we had devotion like from 6 to 7, and we had breakfast together, I mean we did everything together so until I went to work, it was just me and him. The weekends were really great, because, like we didn’t have devotions at the weekends but in the mornings we would talk, we would discuss my difficulties, I also asked him questions because I heard people talk about some of the things that happen in the country and I also wanted to learn more about Ghanaian politics and also like the country as a whole so I used to asked him questions that I found difficult to answer and also get to know about some of the societal norms and cultural values and stuff. We had a really good time and I really enjoyed my stay.

How did you feel as you stayed for a year went by your normal duties, listened to the radio, saw the newspaper headlines and all that, how did you feel, did you sometimes wished that he didn’t choose to be the president of this country?

Oh never that, I mean he wanted it and he pursued it and I was really happy for him because he inspired me for his choice. Fortunately for me a lot people didn’t actually know me because I hadn’t been out publicly or in the media so people could talk to me without even knowing who I was so it was easy for me to kind of manoeuvre around, I could take a taxi and all and I did take a taxi a few times because sometimes you really don’t want to be involved in a lot of things you know, so I just go around my own business, it was as a great experience. I had fun being anonymous and being who I am as well.

I want to know, on a normal day when you woke up with all these headlines that clearly weren’t very interesting, that you didn’t even want to see, sometimes you wish that that day never came, how do you feel about it?

I was young, well I am still young but I wouldn’t necessarily approach it the way he went about it. Sometimes I would be a bit furious and I be like why would you allow people to talk to you like that or why would allow people to insult you being who you are I’m sure you have some level of control and you could kind of put some measures into place that people will not talk in certain manner and that kind of stuff, but I was young, I thought young, he had the experience and he was a very intelligent person and he knew the best way in dealing with the people and also whoever wanted to criticise him whether it was negative or positive, he just knew how to deal with the situation. He had a lot of patience and he was very tolerant to a lot of things so just used this knowledge and experience to deal with them and I learnt a lot from that.

Let’s go back to your father as the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, he lost two elections, he took a decision to give it a try for the third time, how did you feel when he announced that decision to contest again for the third time?

It was something that I also learnt a lot from because he never gave up. There were times that I … we would talk and then I would say daddy are you going to continue to do it and you know sometimes too as a child you have peers and then they would give you a lot of pressure, oh so your dad is going to stand again and all that kind of stuff so it’s like, I was a bit concerned as he being my father, as a son I would be like oh are you seriously trying, I mean they rejected you twice are you really going again but he showed that, don’t give up go the extra mile you never know what’s ahead of you and I’m very sure that he had the vision because as the person that he was and as a man of God he always sought God’s opinion first so if God said to him that go the extra mile and other people were doubting him, like myself, doubting the possibilities then definitely, whatever his decision was I felt like he knows what he is doing so definitely I supported him.

I know that during the campaign you came down, you went on some of his campaign trips with him, how did you feel when he went from house to house talking to people, getting to people’s homes, kiosks and all that?

It was crazy, it was a very big highlife for me. I had never experienced something like that especially like African politics-wise. I remember in 2008 I came down for a week and then went to Cape Coast and some parts of the Central Region and we went to like, the very remote areas you know, you driving in like bushy or muddy areas and there will be like a little village somewhere and he went to that extent and the way the people were just jellying up to him and just like, you know, appreciating his presence and, it’s like they had never seen anyone of his calibre come to that area and stuff so he stood very low to reach the grassroots. It was very interesting because I had never seen anything like that before, I was really happy about it. I hadn’t really gone to those areas in Cape Coast before. Obviously my dad comes from there and nit was really good for me to see that part of Ghana…, it was really good and I really enjoyed it.

He eventually won the elections, did it change your life in anyway, was it a turning point for you so far as your life is concerned?

Of course it did, [he laughs] it had to.

How did you receive the news?

I actually followed it for the first, I followed it and I think I was old enough to understand bits and pieces so I actually followed it online and we were communicating as well… I remember they did a round-off elections as well so I followed it, I was actually in the UK when the whole thing was happening and like the first round, he was just a bit behind, they went for a second elections and he came up on top and won the elections and I was overwhelmed of cause. You know at the first round point I thought men, this is it, you always get to this point and this is it so I mean…

Did you give up at that time?

Yes, one had doubts. I did have doubts. I gave up at that time. But you know God being so good, the people chose him and he won the elections. I was very happy about it. I remember I went to see him and I woke up the following morning and I was the son of the President.

Did you change your lifestyle? Did you do things differently?

I tried not to do things very differently but have a normal life because I didn’t want to change too much for people to talk about it. I didn’t want people to have a negative perception so I received a lot of advice from him as to how to carry myself.

So how was your first phone call to him when he became President? How did that conversation go?

Hello Mr President, how are you today? He told me to just call him daddy, he was still my father. I said yes but I have to now share you with the whole of Ghana. I was really excited because it was like a long battle and he won and could finally put his feet up and relax and think about what to do.

I went back to school to continue my education. I came back during the inauguration. They swore him in, I spent the night with him and we spoke a lot. He shared some of his experiences with me and I had to go back but even when I left we kept in touch.

We spoke about certain things, I kept up with the news about Ghana. When I came across things I didn’t really understand I called him and said Daddy what’s up? He also kept in touch with me education wise and did whatever he ought to do to support my education.

Were you a problem child?

I wouldn’t like to think so. I don’t think I was.

Did you sometimes give him problems?

I mean I was his son. There were times you would want to go out and do some things but because of his calibre you can’t really go out and sometimes you have to be rebellious. I wasn’t a problem child but I had my moments.

Who was the Professor Mills you knew, I will call him Professor Mills you will call him Daddy, how would you describe him?

He was for me my biggest inspiration. I’ve met a lot of inspirational people. You know some people have mentors and that kind of stuff but for me, my dad was my biggest inspiration. He had achieved a lot that I couldn’t think about, I mean people used to always say to me that you need to be greater than your father, I mean every child is supposed to do much more than their parents ever did and I always used to ask them how can I be bigger than the president, he has acquired the highest seat of the land I mean how do you go beyond that, but you know it’s not about going beyond that power but how do you then obviously use what he’s teaching you to build upon your life and become who you want to become. So he was my biggest inspiration and I still learn a lot from him. I find myself listening to some of his speeches on you tube…

Do you have political ambitions?

Well for me at the moment no, I don’t, a lot of people associate me with politics because of my father but for now I think, I mean we are both different people, yes he’s my dad but I think in the future and God reveals to me and says this is what I want you to do then, I mean you don’t really have much to do about it but at the moment I just want to focus on my career path and just further my education to the best I can get to and just you know see what God has in store for me?

Let’s talk about his last days. I know it is going to be a difficult one but we need to get through this. Did you know he wasn’t doing too well?

Yes, I can’t be ignorant about that. The last few months, we used to wake up very early in the morning and take a walk through the castle drive and Independence Square. I really enjoyed that. We met the neighbours and he sometimes had conversations with them and it was really good. It showed that he was a very simple man.

A few weeks before he passed away, he wasn’t feeling too well so as a normal person you would want to take some time out to relax and rest.

I remember on his birthday, I saw him in the morning with a very good friend of his and even on that day someone had written a horrible article about me and my dad. I was really fuming. I went upstairs and I was like daddy, how can someone write such a story on this day and he explained to me, let them say whatever they want to say, we know the truth.

He sat me down and we had a good talk and he told me how much he appreciated me coming down (from London) when he asked me to. He told me how much he loved me as a son. I could never have taught that Tuesday would ever come.

On Sunday we went to church but he didn’t actually come. A lot of the Ministers were there.

On Tuesday morning I woke up very early in the morning because I thought we’d go for the walk. I went upstairs and he said he was going to relax for the day and that the doctors are going to come around.

For some strange reasons I didn’t go to work that day even though I was supposed to be at work. I didn’t even call my boss and I chose to stay at home. I just walked around the castle and decided to go to Osu to go get some food to eat.

When I was leaving, I thought he was going to travel because I saw they were getting the convoy ready.

When I was in Osu, I received a phone call from a close person to him and he said he was gone. Initially I thought he was gone to Nigeria and then they broke down the news to me. I didn’t even know how to take it.

I said hold on, I spoke to this man this morning and we had a conversation and all that. But hey, if God calls you, it doesn’t matter what your health situation is like, you can be the strongest person or weakest person on earth, such is life I guess.

What was your reaction?

It was a difficult and tragic news and it was hard to take. My dad was my best friend especially when I was here. He talked to me a lot about himself and his school, Achimota.

In the evenings we sat in his room and he spoke to me about his time growing up in the farm. So for me, thinking about going to miss all these, the Saturday and Sunday mornings and evenings.

How did you move from your location and where did you head towards?

I went home and locked myself up in my room. I didn’t know whether to cry or get angry or sleep and wake up pretending it was a dream, I didn’t know what to do.

Did you think that he had sacrificed his life for this country?

Definitely. I mean, we have emotions but he did take a lot in. A lot of people could not have had the patience to take in what he did. He sacrificed a lot for this country. You have to be in his shoes to understand. So he wanted it and he got it and he dealt with it.

Do you think he did not deserve the way he was treated by his opponents and sometimes even within his own political party?

For me I’ll say he didn’t deserve it. He is my dad and I love him so much. He knew what he was getting himself into and he went for it. So he knew how to deal with it and to my knowledge he dealt with it the best way.

Do you sometimes feel he could have reacted to things differently than he did?

Yes I would wish he handled it differently.

Would it have made any difference?

He knew best so he knew where the impact of his actions would have ended him, so he did the right thing in my opinion.

Let’s talk about the funeral

I think the funeral went too well, I was really happy with what the planning committee did. It is the biggest thing I have seen in this country. Especially I remember going to Cape Coast and seeing drivers with red bands on their cars, people he didn’t even know and the way the political parties came together peacefully. I was really happy about it. I could not have done a such a thing on my own.

Do you think Ghanaians should have celebrated him while he was alive than when he died?

Yes, but you know, he hadn’t finished with what he was going to do. So there was always going to be the positive and the negative side. There was always going to be that division. Now that he has completed, I see as he has completed what he wanted to do, it is right for people to look back and say: ok, this is what President Mills started and this is what he has done. Does he deserve to be celebrated or not? And for me, Ghanaians chose to celebrate him.

After his death?

Well, yes. I mean, they looked back to see what he had done and he did a lot for the country.

Do you think that if they had shown him the kind of love they did when he died he would have lived longer?

I think death is inevitable, to be honest. I don’t think it would have made any much more of a difference. If God says it is your time, it is your time. I don’t think human beings behaviour and perception would change anything.

Do you sometimes get jealous? Most of us called him daddy also. He had a lot of sons and daughters. He was loved by many. Did you have to compete with other people?

Of course not! I’m the only one that bears the last name (laughing). No. of course, he was the father of the whole country and one has to understand that there were people called him daddy because he was a father. They chose him to lead. He was a father for not just me but a lot of people. I’m really sure he inspired a lot of the young people and also the older ones. Everyone had the complete right to call him daddy or dad. Because to have that title upon you, it shows the kind of significance you have in other peoples’ lives.

One year on after the funeral, I know that you went back to the UK, how has life been?

It’s been ok. At the end of the day one has to swallow the bitter pill. So you just have to get on with life. I mean, it’s more or less a two way road; whether you want to get on with life and just move on and try to pick up the attributes that he left behind and use it to build your own legacy or upon his legacy or you can choose to just stay off the road and do whatever you like.

I just went back to bury my head in the books and just get things off my mind, pursue my career path and move on with life and see what God has planned for me.

How has help been like? Have people come to your aid? Who is taking care of you and what is your relationship like with those people?

My dad had a few genuine friends and obviously colleagues. Some of them have reached out to me. Some of them have offered very good advice to me. I love those that gave me the harsh reality check. That was really good because it’s better to tell me as it is than to beat about the bush. They’ve been really good to me and I really appreciate some of the things that most of his colleagues and good friends have done for me. I really appreciate it.

Apart from moving back and trying to get your life together, do you sometimes have memories of him? Have you been able to put a closure to that memory?

Somehow, sometimes, it’s quite difficult. You know, it’s just the little things like going through your phone to call someone and you go pass dad and the fact that you know you can’t just dial that number anymore. Or like my birthday will come pass and it’s like… Normally, I use to put my phone on silent but sometimes I know dad is going to call so I put my phone on loud so I don’t miss that call, you know… just knowing that that phone call will never come again and like… just the little things is what kind of hit you and you know…

Sometimes when I have difficult decisions to make, I can easily call him and I’m like: dad this is what happened and this is what I what want to do, what do you think? And you can’t do that anymore. I mean other people will render that service to you but it’s almost not the same.

Has it changed your way of doing things?

I think it has led to a new level of maturity. One has to realize that, you know… this is it. You have to make the best of it so you have to channel yourself in such a way that you don’t do things very differently. And what my dad stood for I kind of have to emulate that. You have to show your father in you, so, I mean… it’s definitely been a new level of maturity for me. I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve seen things and it’s made me a better person, I think.

Have you met his successor? What’s your relationship like with him?

His Excellency President Mahama, he’s been a father to me. I remember meeting him after my dad passed away, he took me in as a son. He’s ever been amazing. I met the current first lady, Mrs Mahama… she’s told me what my dad meant to her. She didn’t even say you’re my son. She’s just like: I’m your sister.

We’ve had that relationship and if I have any difficulties I can text her and she just text’s me back. She was one of the people that were on my back that I have to go back to school and go and study. She motivated me a lot. The president has been there for me. He’s been a very good father to me. The Vice President has been a very good uncle and an adviser. I remember him advising me on some decisions I wanted to take. They’ve been really good to me and I really appreciate it.

Are you married?

I’m not married. I think I’m a bit too young to get married at the moment. I actually heard last year that I was married with children. I was quite surprised. It was quite alien to me.

What are your final words?

I want to take this opportunity to thank the President and the Vice President and the some of the important people in my father’s party. Importantly I want to thank the people of Ghana for the support they rendered the family, through the funeral, everything that they’ve done, the messages, the advice, I’m really appreciative. I’m overwhelmed by the responses. There’s a lot for me to learn and I’m very sure I won’t let anyone down. Thank you very much and I love you all.

The Elections results 2012
1.Supreme Court rules in favour of NDC...Mahama retains his seat

2. Wayomme will be jailed to appease NPP

3. One of the 3 wise men ( E.T/Avoka/Babgin...will die an unexpected death to everyone's surprise within a year from now

4. Confusion will rock NDC seriously during their Congress as some top party gurus will impose a new Candidate as a flag bearer against Prez Mahama and the backlash will be terrible.

5. Afari Djan will be forced to retire by the NDC party.

6.A major scandal will hit the NDC and Prez Mahama will sack 5 of his ministers who will later turn again him and 2 will defect to NPP, which will strain the relationship between Prez Mahama and Fmr Prez Rawlings as He will be blamed for all the nemesis befallen the party.

7. A new party will emerge within NPP demanding that Akufo-Addo should be dropped as a flag bearer which will later be realized and 2 top Party gurus will not survive the next election due to untimely death by accident.

8.A serious sex scandal will hit the presidency which will later be realized as true ,involving the Prez himself and a female minister and it will be followed by a lot of brouhaha.

9.An unprecedented wave of Demonstrations will hit Ghana in 2014 as the economy will come to an all time low which will cripple other major industries and it will turn around for the better in 2015 to everyone's surprise and Ghana's status/credit rating will be raised . 2015 will be the best year for Ghanaians.

10. Prez Mahama will implement the Free Education for JSS/SHS in 2016 as a ploy to entice voters for a second term in office but will have a very big issue to settle with the Ahwoi's during Congress ....

The remedy to all this situation is a serious prayer for Ghana especially the President.
The President need very serious prayers for some of this things to come to pass or He might be surprised at what will happen during their congress.

If Kofi Mills really thinks or feels the circumstance leading to his father's death don't make sense, why can't he insist and push for investigations leading to his father's death.
There should be a national commission of inquiry to investigate Atta Mills death so that at least we Ghanaians can learn some lessons out of it. Why do we always fail to capitalise on opportunities to learn and use that learning or lessons learnt to improve ourselves?
Look at the positive lessons we've all learnt from this Election Petition Case, at least the average discerning Ghanaian knows about what "Contempt of Court" and its consequences are as well as what the characteristics of incompetence look like in the nature of "Dr" Afari Dyan's attitude to competence, dismal indeed.

How do we interpret this narrative? Two things: Either the youngman want us to believe they killed his father; or his father was dying but didn't want him to know. I quote the young man's own words here:

“I could never have thought that Tuesday would ever come…Tuesday morning, I woke up very early because I thought maybe we would go for the walk. So, I went upstairs and he said I’m just going to relax today. The doctors are going to come around, so, I just want to relax today; take it easy…”

If your father is so strong and very well, why did he want the doctors arround him? Why did he want to relax on that fateful day instead of the normal morning walk?

My analysis: The fact that your father showed no sign of dying does not mean all was well with him. Outwardly, he may be just trying to hang on, but inwardly, only he alone knew the pain and agony he was going through!! No strong person would normally summoned doctors to attend to him. And usually, energetic people hardly talk about relaxing!!

My conclusion: Not all that glitters is gold. The outward appearance of your father that morning may not tell everything about his inward feeling. The fact that he considered your daily morning walk irrelevant on that Tuesday suggest something. Again, the fact that he chose to relax on that Tuesday point to something. Still, the fact that he summoned the doctors on that Tuesday points to something. Since your father was known to be battling health issues, it is possible that Tuesday, 24 July, 2012 was his last day on earth, but as a young inexperience man, he might have decided not frightened you, hence concealled his true condition from you.

Or do you want us to believe that the doctors who attended to him that morning kill him?

May God guide and give you peace. Blessings!!

President Mills' death was caused by all GHANAIANS from his WIFE, himself, his "so-called" relatives, those who flanged him, the media and the general public.

If his WIFE truely loved the man she would have insisted on certain things and they would be done because she was the wife. How can you not be involved in your husband's life so much that you people were virtually living separate lives. the woman was simply not involved in the man's life and this would affect everyone no matter how strong you think you are.

The man (Mills)didn't help himself because he shouldn't have allowed himself to be dictated to by small, small boys but stand his grand and withdraw from so many activities and possibly resign honorably to take care of himself and enjoy his last days on earth.

His relatives were also just using the man's position to enrich themselves and make themselves feel important. If they were so close to him like they claim, he would have listened to and acted on good counsel from them.

As for the Rawlings' the little said about them the better because as for life it rewards and punishes all people for their deeds so their time will come. I never knew the Rawlings' could be this quiet in their lives. Their plan was simple, "let's hit the man where it hurts most (publicizing his health issues to make him worried always so lose focus)".

The media in Ghana is rotten and its becoming to glaring and alarming that even illiterates are realizing that the media in Ghana are just a bunch of incompetent souls who just go for "soli" to publish RUBBISH.

The general, public led by the NPP, hmmmmmm i rest my case but i pray that some of these people will become ROCKS on this earth and never die.

I have lost close relatives who clearly re on their death bed, but when they finally die, it still comes as a shock and it is unbelievable

There was this junior of mine who became a cabbie after high school. He looked very healthy until he complained of a headache one afternoon and drove homself to the Holy Family Hospital. He died instantly while waiting for a physician to attend to him. Though shocking, should we conclude that my late friend didn't go around informing us that he was going to die that afternoon, like NPP's "piece" fm would want us to believe?

Kofi don't allow yourself to be manipulate. Who killed your father? The fact that Mahama won the election, that makes NPPs to humiliate Mahama. God Only knowns the in which pro died.

We do not need seer to tell us this very simple common sense event. Mahama killed Mills. After issues between he and Mills, he 1st launched his book "My 1st Coup D'etat". 2nd, Mills gets seriously ill. 3rd, Mills transported. 4th, Mills suddenly dies. 5th No autopsy done to ascertain cause of death. 6th, Mills quickly buried like a chicken!!! Is this too difficult to know who killed him?? Let's just be bold and condemn this act, its just too wrong!!!

Samuael Kofi,you are a well educated boy. You are innocent,naive and humble person just like your father, President John Evans Atta Mills. Don't talk anymore. It's good for you to keep silent and consolidate and multiply what he learnt better from your father, an exemplary leader. One never knows, you can become Ghana's President tomorrow so don't give people chance to compromise you. Be respectful to everybody and weight your words anytime you want to talk so that you don't hurt people. Be loyal to those who served under your father and were faithful to him. God bless you and your close persons to you!

Mr S K Mills, i was sad when your father died . I want to advise you not to join this useless discussion of your fathers death. If you were actually close to your father as you claim you should have known that your father was dying long before he died. Please contact your uncle and discuss this with him if you still don't understand your father's death. Be wise and let your father rest in peace.

If every death had made sense, will it be bad? Gods time alway happens when outside the real of time because God is not bound by time as eternal being.

Youe father knew he was going to die. Yes, that was what he was telling you but you couldn't understand what he was saying. if you had lived in the village, with your ground mother, you would have understood what he( the late president) was saying. let me tell you this, your father knew he was departing and that what he was saying to you. after his death, it rained for three days. You should rather thank God that, there is some money ready for you to spend. others didn't have this chance of yours. there were people that saw it and prayed. what is meant to be must be.

I know he was rushed to the hospital. Why the pathologist can not come out with the results and Ghanaians are brooding over this with unnecessary statements in the media. At least the family was given a death certificate with the death report. Any one who is interested to know the cause of his death should ask to see the report or the media should publish a copy and the nonsense will stop.

Death is a Mystery. I was young when my father dead. Though I knew that my father was terminally sick the day before he will die he requested for some green mango which was cooked for him to eat. Soup was made with the cooked mango, he ate it and fell a bit healthier. He spoke a lot and made some jokes and in the night he was gone.
In 1977 when my uncle who was also terminally sick saw us around he requested for chicken soup and in no time his nieces had the soup ready. We were all joking when my uncle suddenly begun to vomit blood, he collapsed and dead.
My mother was also terminally ill in 2010 and on the day she dead she urged me to go to work quickly. I left the house at 6:30 a.m. and at 10:30 a.m. I was called home. I tuned myself physically and mentally to carry the dead body of my mother. Death is a Mystery.

Good evening fellow Ghanaians!It is not only a great pleasure, but also a golden opportunity to air one's view on peculiar issues. However,it is reasonable to also bear in mind that freedom of speech goes hand in hand with responsibility. On this platform, a wish share my reflections with you concerning the demise of our late President Prof. J.E.Atta-Mills of blessed memory. May the Perpetual light of Christ shine on him. May his soul rest in peace! It is universally accepted and approved by persons of every race and religion that, death is an inevitable reality. By this assertion, it is quite evident also that no one can tell exactly the way and manner in which he or she will die.Nevertheless, for us Africans and particularly Ghanaians, the way one dies matters a lot.Thus,the demise of a person in a motor accident, in water, through natural illness and any other way one may think of carries with it a certain meaning.Since the demise of Mills, many views have been shared with respect to the how,who,and what caused his departure from the land of the living.Directly and indirectly, some persons have been indicted [without giving any vivid evidence to the public] causing the death of the late president.I ask: Is it really true that the H.E Mills died a natural death? who was/were present during his last moments?On the day when he celebrated his birthday, and even few days before his death it was quite conspicuous that the late President was unwell.How often did they frequent the castle to check on the fitness of the sick man? What was his condition before his death; critical or normal? It is also indicated that he passed on at the 37 Military Hospital. Is this information really true? Did he die at home, on the way to the hospital or at the hospital? Which vehicle took him to the hospital? Was it an ambulance or not? In any case, was there any presidential convoy to escort him to the hospital? which person or group of persons were with him in the vehicle on their way to the Military Hospital? Fellow Ghanaians,I think that these and many other questions could be raised regarding this matter. However, I leave it to the rest of the populace to critically reflect this issue. I strongly entreat every faithful citizen not allow this issue or any other national topic sink into mediocrity. Rise fellow Ghanaians!Let true freedom and justice prevail! Long Live Ghana! God bless Ghana our motherland!
