  The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!
  
  The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”
  
  The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?
  
  The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

  Insight, why are you so hateful towards Pepefo and Ayigbefo? The Akans are not the only ethnic group in Ghana! You will be surprised to know that the blood of the Ayigbe, Pepe, and Akan course through the veins of many Ghanaians, including me.

  ...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.
  
  I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.
  
  This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

  What are these men of contradiction about? "Rise above partisan affiliation"?. They opposed the "one party state" of Kwame Nkrumah of blessed memory; "Unigov of Kutu Acheampong; and clamoured for imitated version of "Western liberal democracy." Are they not aware that in this system; partisan affiliation is the basis and "the winner takes all is the credo"? For people who have fallen under the influence of foreign propaganda of "suffering and guilt"- called Christianity-can they see the difference?

  This simple call by the Christian Council is one that put another way, says that we as a people, as a nation and as Ghanaians collectively are stronger and more productive than each individual or group wanting to see their side 'dominate' in national proceedings.
  
  It seems to me this is something that Ghanaians who by and large appear to take their religion (s) and 'faith' seriously would embrace without question. The reality however is very different and that is the worrying bit.
  
  Why should it require the Christian Council, the Chief Imam and Muslim Council and other religious groups, leaders, civil society and politicians (plus the security agencies) to drum home the point about peace? It simply fails to register in my simple mind why we need this.
  
  The reason (s) perhaps relate to our understanding of what is more important to us: Our Party or Our Country. The two main political parties in Ghana bear the names: "Democratic" and "Patriotic".
  
  By "Democratic", one presumes there is 'inclusiveness' in matters of individual and the collective interests, respect for the rule of law, civil and individual rights, freedoms and a sense of encouraging all to participate and to take the interests of all into account in matters of governance, national development and dialogue.
  
  By Patriotic, one would again assume a sense of an all-inclusive, ONE-NATION approach to doing business and putting the country first. A patriotic individual is one whose sole and primary interest is in working for the 'organisation', community, or 'nation' they belong to. In countries such as Germany, the sense of patriotism is inculcated into children from a very early age and they grow up believing in Germany. They say the pledge, respect and value their national anthem etc. This is seen in quite a number of other countries and whenever the American National Anthem is sung, you can see the passion with which people sing the anthem.
  
  In Ghana, Kutu Acheampong introduced the national pledge whose opening lines ARE: "I promise on my honour, to be faithful and loyal to Ghana my motherland..." We learnt and sung this at school assembly EVERY MORNING when we were in elementary (cyto) school and in all schools up and down the country, this routine was repeated every single school day.
  
  I wonder how many people understood or even valued this simple, repetitive and routine process. I certainly did, and reading from the postings on ghanaweb, writings and arguments by various people who appear on the various media forums, it is easy for me to see those who understood and have learnt to live with this pledge and those who simply did not understand, and have NOT lived with it. This is at the heart of my earlier question about why the need for anyone or group to be calling for peace and now, patriotism as the Christian Council is doing.
