Hello Prof. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe,

Don't capitalize on igonrant readers to exaggerate "facts." You are not known in the African/African American Studies field.You are not smart as you think.

Moreover, your write-ups on Ghanaweb clearly tells us you did nothing better or spectacular in "The Jagged Edge."

I wonder the kind of articles you wrote for "The Jagged Edge." Remember,you were at the time young and obviously was not as wise as today and did not have the writing skills you have, if any, today.

Even today when you are supposed to be wise as well as improved upon your writing skills, look at the trash and mediocre write-ups you give readers. In fact, there is nothing radically aggressive about your writings and the campus paper.

Most Puerto Rican (Hispanics)college/university graduates barely write or read English very well. About 10-15% of American university graduates read at the level of middle-or high-school.

Your books are not popular or even known in the field. Most of the editors at respected journals in America, people I personally know, are not familiar with your work. I have personally discussed you with some of them. They are not familiar with your work.

In fact, most of your articles will be rejected by nearly all of the journals in the West. They are as good as Ghanaweb. Your articles are not scholarly enough. Do you think your Ghanaweb articles are scholarly? What rubbish!

Writing 20 books does not make you an important teacher in the field. What impact have they had on the world? What impact have they had on America? What impact have they had on Africa? What impact have they had on South America? What impact have they had in Ghana? Zero!

Most of the leading intellectuals in the field of African/African American Studies don't know you or even heard your name. Stop giving "ignorant" readers the impression that you are important in the American Academia. You are not. Dare me!

Neither are you known in the field of African literature. Ngugi wa Thiong'o's son who has written a couple of books is well-known in America (and Europe) than you.

The Nigerian-American Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has written a few books. Yet she is a force in the American academy while you are not. She is more popular with American intellectuals than you. She has even won MacArthur "genius" Award ($500,000).

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., one of America's leading public intellectuals,doesn't know you or about your work. I once heard you bragging on Ghanaweb that Gates has threatened to reduce the number of students from your Ivy League Community college from entering Harvard. How stupid of you!

You think this important scholar has time for your foolishness and stupidity. Have you read his books or seen his TV programs educating the world about the African world (though not everything he shows or says about Africa) is right.

No respected anthology of African literature has entries for your work. Could you provide your "ill-informed" and "ignorant" readers a citation analysis as far as your work is concerened?

Rather than debate your "high-school" Ghanaweb readers, why don't you, Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, quote from your "scholarly" books and essays published in respected peer review journals?

Why don't you use your "scholarly" research and "scholarly" articles in respected peer review to debate your "high-school" critics? Why always rely on Ghanaweb articles to attack your critics? Why do you, Prof. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, show your critics class?

How many respected scholars have used or quoted from your body of work? Could you tell them how your scholarship has impacted society? Look at Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Nuruddin Farah, etc? Even within Africa, your are an intellectual child of the Awoonors, Armahs, etc. How many schools in Africa use your books?

Ama Ata Aidoo, for instance, taught at Brown University, an Ivy League, in fact, one of America's top universities, an institution you can never get to teach because the quality of your work does not measure up to hers. You and I know this.

Ghanaweb readers are more likely to know you than American intellectuals and students in the African/African American Studies field. How many African stidents have read your work? Most Ghanaians who know you are those who read your Ghanaweb articles. Nearly every Ghanaian (I have dealt with) who doesn't use Ghanaweb knows you or heard your name!Forget your work. They don't know them though they know about Achebe, Awoonor, Armah, Chimamanda, Aidoo, etc.

You spend a lot of quality time writing junk for Ghanaweb and other mediocre websites because you know in your heart that no respected journal in the world will publish your mediocre work!

I hope you are aware that CUNY (City University of New York), of which City College is part, is not even rated amongst the top 100 best univeristies/colleges in America.

CUNY was, more or less, designed for
poor Americans (with poor pre-university skills or preparation) in the New York area, especially minorities. It was probably why you were able to get admission into it in the first place.

I remember taking an English class with a doctoral student from the English department (the graduate center) who didn't know what "nought" was. He explianed to the class that "nought" was "not nothing." These are the kinds of English professors you sometimes get within the CUNY system.

Moreover, CUNY has one of the lowest admissions requirements in America. CUNY also records one of the highest dropout rates in the country. And its community colleges are some of the worst in North America. You should not be proud of being a CUNY alumni.

Even within CUNY, City College has never been known to have strong English programs. It's noted more for its science and engineering programs than for its liberal arts/humanities. Its liberal arts programs are not rated among the best in the country. Both Lehman and Baruch colleges, both part of the CUNY, has a better program in English than City College.

Lehman College, for instance, has a better English program than City College. High-school students who have serious and writing problems are more likely to get into City College than, say, New York Univesity. City College is not even counted among the best in New York. Stop exaggerating your views about City College.

I have personally known nearly all the black professors you mention in your article here. We have met at various conferences. Dr. Leonard Jeffries is not a published scholar. The late Bernal Martin, author of the controversial Black Athena, once took him up on this. Edward Scobie used to publish in Ivan Van Sertima's "The Journal of African Civilizations."

Dr. Jeffries got into trouble primarily for introducing "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," a book published by the Nation of Islam. This books deals with the role Jews played in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

He successfully sued City College for violating his first amendment rights only for an appellate court to reverse the decision. The late Dr. Tony Martin of Wellesley College, Massachusetts, got into a similar problem with Jews when he used the same book in his class.

Please don't make the controversy simplistic for your "ignorant" readers. Yet you are not the intellctual equal of any of the scholars you mention in your article, My Madiba Moment-part 3. These are scholars whose work are influential and known the world over.

In fact, Dr. Jeffries is noted for his influential consultancies with public high-schools in New York and New Jersey. His work with African scholars and leaders are proverbial. These are creative scholars who develop theories and apply them on the ground to make human life better. Can you say the same of yourself? Isn't all your scholarship about ethnocentrism, hatred, stupidity, mediocrity, insults, cluelessness, and foolishness?

In fact, City College will not dream of making you the head of any of its programs because there are more accomplished scholars, well-published,and better researchers who will qualify for the post. You are an intellectual kid as far as quality research is concerned.

Finally, why do you teach at a community college? Isn't community college more like our old secondary school Form 5 (O'LEVEL)? Can you compare a community college to secondary school Sixth Form (a'level)? Hell no. Why are you proud of yourself then? I was a teaching assitant in a community college (Hostos Community College, also part of CUNY system). Among other things, I had to teach new students algebra which involves explaining to students the outcome of adding negative 20 to positive 10, say.

Tell your readers that community colleges, unlike senior colleges, don't require much from their professors. That work loads at community colleges are not as heavy and serious as those at senior colleges?

In effect, community colleges have low expectations of their professors in terms of university work. It's why you get time to write junk for Ghanaweb. Any scholar worth his/her salt will write for respected peer review journals. We know all the Ghanaian scholars who do this even as they write for Ghanaweb.

Don't give your "ignorant" readers the impression that you are important in the American academia. Tell them all about the respected peer review journals you publish in and give them your citation index( how many scholars/researcers quote or use your work.

Anything short of that is vanity. Most respected scholars in your field put their hyperbolic intellectual biographies in best-selling memoirs/autobiographis. Do the same. Most readers on Ghanaweb don't know you are lying or exagerating your intellectual abilities.

Tell them about renowned Ghanaian intellectuals like Dr. Emmanuel Acheampong, Dr. Daniel Bentil, Dr. Ashitey Trebi-Ollenu, Dr. Ave Kludze, etc. English is not science, mathematics, or engineering. You don't need any special gifts to read English. But no so with mathematics, engineering, or physics.

jj and all these foolish criminal ndc politicians again are trying to create a diversion and throw smoke screens in our eyes on the issue of corruption . our corruption is a different kind especially when is rooted in some minority group or tribe making war against the Akans so undermine the economy to push the Akans further into poverty and make them again massively pick up the passports and leave . Starting from the days of Nkrumah every minority ethnic group comes to power with the mentality of my time has come '' we go chop Ghana money some '' and do everything to ensure this . nkrumah using the old strategy of divide and rule , pit brother against brother divided the fanti speaking people into 2 regions , rawlings came and used the same methods to pit part of the fantis and ashantis against each other and now pepeni is [laying the same game of northerners against southerners and all non Akans against the Akans . Billions have been approved in parliament in the past few years and the monies disappeared meanwhile they shove down our throats stories of 3,5 million and rumours of CIA basically accusing Akans again of corruption as diversions to the real truth of the looting of those hiding behind the ndc party . our problem in a nutshell is hegemony tribalism and chauvinism and the evil fruits are corruption , destruction of the economy and treacherous enmity between brothers . with out the unification of all the potentials and peoples of the land there can be no progress or development leading to industrialization and real meaning well paying jobs for our children no matter the natural resources . that is also the the problem of the Arab world who will forever remain trapped in a quasi feudal society , we Akans choose a different path and will most surely secede as there is no other alternative , long live the republic of Akan

Good Morning Kwadwo,

You argued that violence beget violence and that Rawlings will also meet the same fate for killing. But, will you agree with me that if such is your thinking then, those you claimed died in the hands of Rawlings were violent?

I also disagreed with you that people such as Awoonor, Princess Dina, President JFK Kennedy and numerous innocent people especially, children died because they were violent?

Kwadwo, are you aware of the countless sins David committed according to the holy book (the bible), yet God blessed him and made him King? Did we also hear that David killed Goliath? But, what did God do to David? He made him died violently for that?

Kwadwo, you see my problem with NPP is, they are full of arrogant and braggarts who do not believe that majority of Ghanaians are wiser than them. Between the two evils (NDC &NPP), NDC is in a much better class than NPP. NPP is made up of bigots, full of cotton, struggle to think properly, resistance to change, difficult to assimilate and live peacefully in a changing modern world. And to compound their problems, they fight everybody including God. What a REPELLANT party of fools!

Mali at first glance seems a most unlikely place for the NATO powers, led by a neo-colonialist French government of Socialist President Francois Hollande (and quietly backed to the hilt by the Obama Administration), to launch what is being called by some a new Thirty Years’ War Against Terrorism.

Mali, with a population of some 12 million, and a landmass three and a half times the size of Germany, is a land-locked largely Saharan Desert country in the center of western Africa, bordered by Algeria to its north, Mauritania to its west, Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Niger to its southern part. People I know who have spent time there before the recent US-led efforts at destabilization called it one of the most peaceful and beautiful places on earth, the home of Timbuktu. Its people are some ninety percent Muslim of varying persuasions. It has a rural subsistence agriculture and adult illiteracy of nearly 50%. Yet this country is suddenly the center of a new global “war on terror.”

On January 20 Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron announced his country’s curious resolve to dedicate itself to deal with “the terrorism threat” in Mali and north Africa. Cameron declared, “It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months, and it requires a response that…has an absolutely iron resolve…” [1] Britain in its colonial heyday never had a stake in Mali. Until it won independence in 1960, Mali was a French colony.

On January 11, after more than a year of behind-the-scenes pressure on the neighboring Algeria to get them entangled in an invasion of its neighbor Mali, Hollande decided to make a direct French military intervention with US backing. His government launched air strikes in the rebel-held north of Mali against a fanatical Salafist band of jihadist cutthroats calling itself Al-Qaeda in the Islamic-Mahgreb (AQIM). The pretext for the seemingly swift French action was a military move by a tiny group of Islamic Jihadists of the Tuareg people, Asnar Dine, affiliated with the larger AQIM. On January 10 Asnar Dine – backed by other Islamist groups – attacked the southern town of Konna. That marked the first time since the Tuareg rebellion in early 2012 that Jihadist rebels moved out of traditional Tuareg territory in the northern desert to spread Islamic law to the south of Mali.

As French journalist Thierry Meyssan noted, French forces were remarkably well prepared: “The transitional President, Dioncounda Traore, declared a state of emergency and called to France for help. Paris intervened within hours to prevent the fall of the capital, Bamako. Far-sightedly, the Elysée had already pre-positioned in Mali troops from the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (“the Colonials”) and the 13th Parachute Dragoon Regiment, helicopters from the COS (Special Operations Command), three Mirage 2000D’s, two Mirage F-1’s, three C135’s, a C130 Hercules and a C160 Transall.” [2] What a convenient coincidence.

By January 21 US Air Force transport planes began delivering hundreds of French elite soldiers and military equipment to Mali, ostensibly to roll back what we were told was an out-of-control terrorist advance south towards the Mali capital. [3] French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told media the number of its ‘boots on the ground’ in Mali had reached 2,000, adding that “around 4,000 troops will be mobilized for this operation,” in Mali and outside bases. [4]

But there are strong indications the French agenda in Mali is anything but humanitarian. In a France 5 TV interview, Le Drian carelessly admitted, “The goal is the total reconquest of Mali. We will not leave any pockets.” And President Francois Hollande said French troops would remain in the region long enough “to defeat terrorism.” The United States, Canada, Britain, Belgium, Germany and Denmark have all said they would support the French operation against Mali. [5]

Mali itself, like much of Africa is rich in raw materials. It has large reserves of gold, uranium and most recently, though western oil companies try to hide it, of oil, lots of oil. The French preferred to ignore Mali’s vast resources, keeping it a poor subsistence agriculture country. Under the deposed democratically-elected President Amadou Toumani Toure, for the first time the government initiated a systematic mapping of the vast wealth under its soil. According to Mamadou Igor Diarra, previous mining minister, Malian soil contains copper, uranium, phosphate, bauxite, gems and in particular, a large percentage of gold in addition to oil and gas. Thus, Mali is one of the countries in the world with the most raw materials. With its gold mining, the country is already one of the leading exploiters directly behind South Africa and Ghana. [6] Two thirds of France’s electricity is from nuclear power and sources of new uranium are essential. Presently, France draws significant uranium imports from neighboring Niger.

Now the picture gets a little complex.

According to usually reliable former US military experts with direct familiarity with the region, speaking on condition of anonymity, US and NATO Special Forces actually trained the same “terrorist” bands now justifying a neo-colonial US-backed invasion of Mali by France. The major question is why would Washington and Paris train the terrorists they are now acting to destroy in a “war on terror?” Were they really surprised at the lack of NATO loyalty from their trainees? And what is behind AFRICOM’s American-backed French takeover of Mali?

Very good analysis, Mr Bokor Michael.You have said it all. JJ Rawlings is really blessed by God and few people know it. as for me, the man sanitized Ghana and we in Africa we like what he did. That's what lacks in most of the African countries and that's the reason why we are not developing. nothing will happen to JJ Rawlings except the day and the time God who created him and gave him a specific mission to accomplish in Ghana and African will decide to take him back to him. Those who are even appealing to God to punish Rawlings are not true believers and saints. They are more murderers than Rawlings himself.Mr Bokor, I enjoyed your analysis and comment.

It is my first visit to this site, but after reading the comments made by fellow Ghanaians in response to Dr Bokor's article, l get the impression that we still have a long way to go in uniting ourselves as Ghanaians. Instead, we have diminished ourselves to the lowest common denominator by labeling others who disagree with us (or may have different political views)with sarcastic names and/or descriptions. Given our history and the challenges still facing our dear country, we should know better. Tribalism has no place in the modern discourse. It only perpetuates division and creates conflicts. Meet a Rewandee to tell you about this 'cancer', and you will understand! Belonging a tribal group is only a point of reference, and therefore, should not be used as source of discrimination. Instead of insulting one another, could we use the platform to create and discuss "IDEAS" which could be put into action to develop various regions and create employment for the youth? We are so quick to react when discriminated against by person of different colour, yet we forget that we are imprisoned and driven by tribal hatred to extent that we even show worst sentiments towards our fellow brothers and sisters. We really need to mature beyond tribal affiliations. I am Ghanaian and see everybody else in the same, irrespective of the language spoken or tribe. I love you all!!!
