Where is that Justice Kpegah by the way? How is he fairing after the man he detested and ridiculed for years, assumed the highest office of the state? With the due respect I have for him, but there is one thing that amuses me about him, i.e. Did he ever try to do a thorough research about Nana Addo background, or was he just acting out of a sheer jealousy or l mean, was he pushed to smear the image of Nana Addo? Well posterity will judge him on that. Another elderly person who seems to be hiding in the rat hole is Dr. Afari Djan: this man was a childhood friend of Nana Addo, and even his dorm mate at Legon, according to his own confessions. You see when Nana was working on his childhood ambitions to become the president of Ghana, Afari Djan was aware and was also nursing a sinister motive to derail that prospect, should he be given the least opportunity; and indeed, it did happen in e.g. during the 2008 and 2012 elections. But as the saying goes " who the Lord blesses no one can curse" I think Dr Djan hated Nana Addo for one thing, that the later was a son of a former president and hailed from an affluent background, both paternal and maternal as if that was his fault to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Well according to Nigeria's acclaimed writer and noble prize winner Chenue Achebe "He who laughs last, laughs best " if l've quoted him right.

Damn right Stephen. Ghana's political history is so confusing. You really have take a back seat somewhere and ponder over of a lot of things, analyze, and compare and contrast before you can make sense. For instance anyone who is against NPP and hails from the B/A Region has very weird motives. Here is a region Dr. Busia hails from and must be completely UP/NPP but it is not the case. There are a lot of people who joined the "Matemeho" group after independence and will not want to see or hear anything UP/NPP. And many more..... That was a nice piece Steve

Say that again Stephen. That's the nature of our society - our society hates successful people. Instead of getting inspired by others' achievements, we rather look out for the least opportunity to denigrate them just out of unbridled envy. Some people are quick to blame Rawlings for heightening this trait in us. But I hold a contrary view. I think we can trace it way back to the time of slavery. I can't understand why a group of people could catch their fellow human beings (sometimes their own siblings) and sold them out to a total stranger (i.e. the whiteman) for sugar, tobacco, blanket, rum, wine, etc. when they couldn't tell what the whiteman was going to use their fellow Africans for. It's a strange feeling for me anytime I reflect over this. That trait is still in us and that's what in modern times is manifesting itself in our envious attitude towards others' success.
