Mr Gyimah will go down history as anti-north. Of course, we know this for good.

Hehehe!!! Thing for u, never lost. This is the most demonized man in the whole entire country and beyond, because he's a politician and also still alive.

Since I was a kid, I heard so many many stories (obviously concocted) about this son of our land. I could count over 200 "lame" people all saying stories about Rawlings killing their mother, father, uncle, etc. The only question I used to ask myself was " Why will he kill so many known people, whilst big guys like Nana Akuffo-Adoo, Kuffour, Kwasi Pratt, Haruna Atta, Kwaku Baako, etc were still alive?

These were men who made his administration miserable. He would have killed these people than those unknown names in those stories. . Aside that, I multiplied the number of people who told me these stories against other friends who were told same by other people (number runs into millions alleged murdered people). "These stories just cant be true".

Then came the National Reconciliation Commission set by Kuffour. I was surely expecting all these people to come forward and testify. At least, monetary rewards was going to be given to affected people. GUESS WHAT!!! ZILCH!! Where were all those people with all those stories? Its clear they were false.

You can demonize a man, make him look like a devil, slash his name in mud, concoct stories and propagate them. BUT U CANNOT TAKE AWAY WHAT IS DESTINED FOR HIM. All those who concoct stories against our leaders (K4, JJ, Nana, etc.) should bow down their heads in shame.

The NPP left power quiet near six years ago so even if the Kuffour administrated thwarted the effort of the UDS to honor the wicked and callous Trokosi murderer of judges, his butchery arse, Togbui Avaklasu Rawlings, why did it take the Mills-Mahama and Mahama-Amissah Arthur NDC government this long to let this happen? This propagandist type of addressing issues are outmoded and is the cause of hate and disunity that facing the nation as a whole. I personally would wish UDS is named after Rawlings solely because of his immense contribution to that establishment . It is sometimes very disgusting to hear the foolish communication dogs of the NDC TRYING to make a heroe out of Mills than the very person through whose efforts Mills was imposed on the NDC which would eventually lead him to become a president. Mother F's are truely indeed hijack the press and Ghana as a whole

Proud to be a product from that great college. We were told from the time we set foot at that college in the seventy's that it was a university in the making for everything that we were taught in that college was equaled, to that of what was being taught in the Ghanaian Universities. No wonder even here in the United States of America, some of us from that elite college can hold our head high to some of the best scholars we come across.

What are leaders supposed to do? How long did JJ rule the nation? How did he come to power? Was is through peaceful means and why should this "so called award" be confer on him? Isn't it an obligatory for him to develop the nation much more than he did as he is the longest ruler of our nation?

Let's face fact. JJ did more harm to our education than any leader in history but those of us with pea brain mind, will give their unflinching support to this "quack revolutionary" due to his boom speeches and senseless killings.

What are leaders supposed to do? JJ kicked out Liman and destroyed our educational system and replaced it the current one which our children are suffering. He then shipped his children to be "well educated" in Europe. If he believes that the food he cooked for Ghanaians are that quite palatable, why didn't he allow his children to taste it?

Are we that dumb to refuse to reason? Leaders, upon assuming power, are obliged to turn things around and make living conditions better for those they ruled. There should be nothing like "award or whatever" to be conferred on any leader because their duties is to lead and reverse some of the hardship facing the ordinary.

Is it wrong for the North to have a University and who should do that? Our leaders so, why do we applaud them as it is part of their duties. These are some of the reasons our Northern brother love JJ to death but they have forgotten that he removed a Northerner from the throne through "illegal means".

I careless about who says what. Our leader are supposed to do more than expected and we should stop tapping them in the back.

The $50,000 yearly award by The World Hunger Project is not given in cash to recipients, but is rather used to fund any project of the recipient's choice to benefit a community.

No recipient till date has been given $50,000 by the organizers to go shopping with the money, so the obese lunatic butcher of Dzelukope,His Butchery Majesty,Julor Jato Rawlings had no choice than to select a project to be funded by The World Hunger Project.
