You, Okoampah-Ahoofe, are such a wimp that you can't be helped to rediscover yourself.

Thank you for ignoring that ghanaweb columnist masquerading as "Kwame Ntim." His accomplishment in life is courting the friendship of scholars in the field of black studies; then turn around and pose as one,citing his friendship with them. Who takes a GROUPIE seriously? Definitely not you. Don't you wonder why he delights in propping up others' achievements but never talks about his? He has none. Is this a hearsay? The answer, of course, is an emphatic no because I KNOW THAT MASQUERADE. Leave that GROUPIE to wallow in his festering jealousy while we sit back and laugh. This is the Dungeon Master and I approve this comment.

I know you have learned to read. Now go back to school and learn to understand:
1: Yes, "Ntim" is a ghanaweb columnist masquerading as someone else. Whether he admits that or not is inconsequential because I KNOW HIM.
2: Yes, he did not brag about his academic achievements because, with respect to that, he is no match for Okoampa. That is why he has to constantly invoke others' high achievements and fame, only to turn around and tell us he is friends with them. He does that frequently because he has accomplished nothing in life worth mentioning to the sane world. If you can't understand the above, ask for tuition reimbursement.

When ever you read anything from this Bush Monkey, you feel like puking. He seems to be the only PHD holder from all of Akyem and therefore deems it so important for every one to bow to him. Whoever challenges or disagrees with his ideas becomes his enemy for life.

A very bitter man who enjoys the pleasure of been engaged in constant argument with every one including God.

This Idiot Okoampa is pure evil, a tribalist, a litigant, a womanizer, a liar, a primitive ethnic supremacist, a half baked scholar, has a very low IQ capacity. All of such negative triats makes everything he stands for also repulsive because he is currently the most repulsive individual Ghanaian in the disapora.

Is there any one out there that can stand this man except those that wallow in the same hate and biterness as him? He has single handedly done more harm to Nana and the NPP than any individual in the diaspora. Why is the NPP not saying anything to this man who cant even cast a vote when its time to do so? What is his benefit or contribution to the NPP?

Not to take anything away from this "Ntim" guy, he has the "gift" to outdo anybody here on this forum but his penchant for silly arguments, being too argumentative, not taking advice, and not amenable to good reasoning are what is undermining him. Go back to Okoampa's article he posted yesterday, for instance, and read his responses to one commentator by the name of Moses. Moses was on the same side of the argument as he was/is, that is, with regards to how they perceive Okoampa. Yet "Ntim" went after this guy because his narrow-minded brain would not accept that Moses was not Okoampa. He does not tolerate dissenting views. Try reasoning with him. It is pointless. And he has the chutzpah to criticize Okoampa on the same grounds? As if that is not ridiculous enough, he wants to criticize Okoampa's sterling achievements, something he does not come close to matching? What an arrogant dolt!

Yaw, this is for Dundeon Master Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, not for you. Don't stress yourself with this Dungeon Master.

He obviously doesn't know what he/she is talking about. If he truly wants to know more about me, he should talk to Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe himself!

Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe knows me very well.

It's why he's not directly responding to my mails.

We have clashed several times before at City College. Like I have said before, I am an alumni of CUNY (City University of New York).

He knows this Kwame Ntim very well. He also knows it's not a fake name. Ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe when I graduated. He will tell you.

Those professors you mentioned are my colleagues across diverse intellectual disciplines in America: Linguists, science, anthropology, Egyptology, archeology, sociology, literature, hitory, English, post-colonial studies, etc.

Besides, there is no need flaunting my achievements here because he Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe knows about them. Ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe about me, Dungeon Master.

Dungeon Master, if you are not Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, why do you stress yourself? Let the man do the answering for himself, unless, of course, you are masquerading Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe.

Stop the semi-intellectual concert partying you are shamelessly putting up on this forum and let the defense, Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, do the talking!

If you say he has achieved so much, let him tell us. Wole Soyinka, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Chimamamanda Adichie, Ama Ata Aidoo, Steve Biko, Tony Morrison, Dennis Brutu, Nadine Gordimer, etc., have all told us what they have achieved. We are asking Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe to do the same.

And stop propagating your stupid and childish conspiracy theories here. No one is taking an interest in that, as you can see. Kwame Ntim is not afraid to say he is a columnist on Ghanaweb if he's one. Ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe what Kwame Ntim does. He should tell you what I do.

If you are Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, then, Dungeon Masetr, you may have known me at City College as far back as the 80s.

If you are not, ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe about me. This should explain to you why I know so much about him and why he knows so mush about me. Talk tim him about me.

And shut up if you are not him masquerading under a moniker. I have been told he does that often when he can't stand up to a particular critic.

Get Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe here if you are not him!

"5. You have convinced yourself that I am Okoampa and somehow I know you"

The above statement should read,"5. You have convinced yourself that I am Okoampa and somehow HE knows you."

This should clarify that Okoampa DOES NOT KNOW "NTIM" BUT I, DUNGEON MASTER, DO.

When I say I know this masquerade aka "Ntim," I dont mean that in the figurative sense. I mean I KNOW him: where he lives, where he went to school, what his aspirations are, what he is doing right now etc

I will restrain myself, as always, from disclosing too much about him. I am doing this because he is one of the most annoying people to be around. In fact, the nuisance he has become here on ghanaweb epitomizes his life.

I am going to write Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe this weekend and ask him to address my concerns. I am almost done drafting the piece. If he has forgotten who I really am, I will remind him.

This Dungeon Master should shut up if he's not Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe.

Let him do the IP analysis. Now he says he's not Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe. I said I live in New York. Where do you live?

Go and ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe who I am.

I shall not respond yo you here again if you don't ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe to address me directly.

In fact, I shall not respond to you if the "subject" and "your name" boxes do not indicate you are Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe.

You claim he's a nuisance yet also friends with nfluential intellectuals in black studies. What about the white professors Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe's mentioned, many of whom I am personally know?

How can a nuisance be friends with such important personalities? How do you reconcile your irreconcillable statments!

Stop defending Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe because you have given us enough information to tell us that beyond Ghanaweb you practically know nothing about him.

Ask Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe himself again if he knows Kwame Ntim and what he does for a living. He should tell you everything.

I shall not respond to you again because you claim the moniker Dungeon Master does not represent Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe.

I don't know you and my accusations against Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe are not for you. You will not see me respond to your comments again because your presence does not add to the discussions here.

My work is done. Do the IP analysis.

I don't understand why Arthur Kennedy wanted Nana Akuffo Addo to save Dr. Apraku from angry NPP supporters. Dr. Apraku decided to betray the man he had eaten with, laughed with, fought alongside with, campaigned throughout Ghana with, served in the same cabinet for years with,endured harsh African politics with.Despite all these bonds, which should bind them together like steel, he comes out and says nonsense against his benefactor and brother in arms. Apraku should be ashamed of himself. Now, because of his betrayal and narrow mindedness, he
will never be elected to any post in the NPP, not even as a dog-catcher, as Americans say.Anybody who is thinking on the same lines, should think twice, nobody likes traitors and leadership comes to those who have served their elders to the fullest and the end. Akuffo Addo served Kuffour to the end with all his heart and soul. As an Ashanti, our greatest heroes from time past, have always been those who stood fast against enemies and put everything on the line for the whole community and NOT those who thought only of themselves. Think of Tweneboa Kodua, That is what our motto stands for. " Kum Apem a apem beba". We fight for each other and we perish together. We don't run away because we think only of ourselves or because salt is sweet. Apraku has brought disgrace on all Ashantis, betrayed the greatest tenet that bind us together, that we follow our leader until death. We dont believe in tribes, that is why we followed Dr. Busia, though he was Brong and villified Acheampong for overthrowing Busia, though Acheampong was an Ashanti. This is because Acheampong took the short cut to power and did not wait for his turn. We will follow Akuffo Addo to the end because we share the same dreams and aspirations and we believe that he will make Ghana better for us and our children. This is a long journey, and we are not going to abandon him midstream. Everybody should take a deep breath and think twice before they open their mouth, because we shall remember whatever you say.

Stop this tribal crap!! We have a whole country to worry about, so, open your eyes and flush out your tribal sentiments to make room for Ghana.

It is not uncommon to see best friends fall out. Even siblings could fall into conflict. As much as we ordinarily would expect the cosy relationships we have endure, often incidents occur to strain them. That is the reality of life.

As shocking as it may sound when people fall out with one others there would be a cause. Why can't you check with Dr. Apraku why he is backing off from Akufo-Addo but calling him a traitor outright? Has Akufo-Addo labeled Dr. Apraku as such? Do you know whether or not the perceived rift between the two might have been the fault of Akufo-Addo's? Or, you think Nana is an angel who never sins or offends others? This should not be personal.

Besides, why should this effort to salvage Ghana's future be a personal battle? The struggle must be focused on the National interest, not someone's selfish ambition. If Nana were even Dr. Apraku's brother and the latter thought it was time to change leadership for the Nation's sake, he would well be in order.

Once again, Nana has no inalienable right to keep the Flagbearer position forever until he wins the Presidency. Grow up!

There are many like me who believe others in NPP could be better candidates and more attractive Choice for a President than Akufo-Addo. Dr. Frimpong Boateng, Dr. Bawumia and Alan all have better chances to win the next Presidential election than Akufo-Addo who bears a hefty baggage almost impossible to shed.

If you want NPP to lose again then put your resources out for Nana. You are the one one who needs to think deeper and more than twice!

Long Live Ghana!!!

Is this whole NPP party about Ashanti supremacy? Why should everything NPP has to be Ashanti? Does Apraku have an idividual right to do what he has to do without scum bags like you having a feeling of Ashanti betrayal?

Should all Ashantis think and behave as you subscribe above? The very thing they accuse some tribes of, they do in secret as well.

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 not so with mathematics, engineering, or physics.

Could you tell which awards your books have won? Do you think you belong in the class of Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Dennis Brutus, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Ayi Kwei Armah, etc? Tell us.

Fool!

"I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE[Kwame Ntim]..."

Your statement above is the reason why you should stay out of this. I mean that seriously, because you do not know who this "Ntim" guy is. I DO!And when I say I know him, I mean exactly that. He is not the reasonable person you think he is; in fact, he is far from it.

take him on then? he sounds more reasonable to me than you and Ahoofe.How can a so-called academic write so much piffle about Kwame Nkrumah?

Yaw,

What's up?

Please stop going back and forth with this Dungeon Master. Is it not obvious to you he does not know what he's taking about?

Yaw,

What's up?

Please stop going back and forth with this Dungeon Master. Is it not obvious to you he does not know what he's taking about?

I have stopped reading, let alone respond to Dundeon Master's stupid comments. I wonder what sort of religion is he, whether Christian or Moslem! Please Yaw leave him alone.

This is why I have been saying Dungeon Master is Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe. If not, why has he chosen to choke himself on someone else's vomit? You have to be a big fool to swallow others' filth!

Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe is afraid to the battle and this sickly fool thinks he is wiser than his animal farm Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe.

I am currently busy doing other things. Moreover, this Dungeon Master is not saying anything you think is bad.

It's merely filth he's pumping out out of his sickly mind. His mind seems to be made of filth. Don't waste your time trying to argue with this fool on my behalf.

I would have been okay, Yaw, if you were doing this with Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe. Please leave the fool alone. There are many more important articles you could read on Ghanaweb. Please do that.

Thank you.

Count the number of lies you have spewed on these pages today. After you are done, please do take your hypocritical nonsense elsewhere.

So, Okoampa is not entitled to have a dissenting view of Nkrumah?

This Ntim masquerade writes trash about JB Danquah, Okoampa's relative, but foams at the mouth when Okoampa does the same about "Ntim's" hero Nkrumah?

Assume you have a brain, which I dont doubt you do: Who killed JB Danquah?

No matter your ideological stance, shouldnt you at least try to understand Okoampa's pain, from the standpoint of his uncle dying at the hands of Nkrumah--to say nothing of his ideological differences with him?

Why not respect the man's views and if you share some disagreements with him address it privately?

What is "Ntim's" motive for publicly questioning Okoampa's scholarship? To disgrace him, of course.

And I know "Ntim," who CAN NOT MATCH Okoampa's achievements.

Look, we all have our disagreements with Okoampa sometimes. If you consider yourself a respected fellow, try to address your issues with him privately. Okoampa is fearless, we all know this, so this nonsensical attack will not dent him.

Has Apraku Teamed Up with McHypocrite?
