Why do we have to blame the speechwriters for Nana Akufo Addo? Have we seen the draft speech presented to Nana Akufo Addo?. The speechwriters might have acknowledged the original writers, i.e. Presidents Bush and Clinton, and Nana Akufo Addo removed the acknowledgement from the original speech.Nana Akufo Addo being an arrogant and pompous person might have deliberately expunged the acknowledgement from the draft speech.Mr. Eugene Arhin did not out of the blue presented a final speech to Nana Akufo Addo; he might have submitted a draft speech first acknowledging the original owners.

Already this guy has th elaw cert hanging and here comes an academic saying a purely academic gaffe is excusable. Seriously? The man at the centre of the law cert has never uttered a word, only his friends and cronies come out to defend him. Prof Azar was explaining it the other day, today this Ade guy too is doing the cleaning. But for once, can't academia be separated from politics for once? Shame unto you prof.

This is hypocrisy of the highest order. How can you not tolerate plagiarism in academia and yet you don't see anything wrong when the president of a whole nation engages in same at no other time but during his inaugural address. It's shame the so called Prof refused to see anything wrong president addo will do given the criticism against mahama. No doubt if this was mahama adei would have fo7nd everything wrong with it. Hmmm. God is watching.

Why is Akufo-Addo's speech writer still at his post? Not one person in the NPP hierarchy has suggested that the speech writer should be fired. Is that the change Ghanaians voted for? Tweaaaaaa, what a bunch of losers!!!

These people have started behaving like their electoral victory was a coup de tat. Pro.Addae should not forget that parliament is to discuss the president's speech. As things stand now, parts of the speech are own by the former US presidents and part is also own by our president. Which part should be discussed and which part should be left out. Coming events cast their shadow. The beginning of incompetence and laziness.

Everyone knows that you are nothing but a pathetic sycophant .Even a toddler knows that you are an ardent supporter of the Nincompoops plagiarizing party.Additionally, your stupidity akin to sir john's is boundless. Haven't level headed Ghanains had enough of your nonsense ? Let it be known that no one embarrassed your Halloween costume .He simply epitomizes embarrassment. He has embarrassed Ghanaians .

Plagiarism...Some of us have expressed our displeasure about the incident and I think that it is enough. This must not distract our advance. It's a minor issue. Even if President Addo-Dankwa or his speech-writer stole for us to do us good, we should be the ones to be proud of him for the good intention, rather than ridiculing.

In fact, "Plagiarism" is everywhere and in various forms including tangibles far hugest than this...plagiarism of technologies etc. I dare say that Africa has suffered far more plagiarism than any other people. The west copied lots including even buildings ditto ditto from ancient Africa.

Honestly speaking, I will be much consciously willing to engage in even technology plagiarism, not phrase plagiarism but even scientific or technological plagiarism for my people if it would help them, if it would advance their cause, and not care what others would say.
If we check, we would observe that almost the entire world owe their advancements mostly to plagiarism.
