Madam CJ come again
Today's world is social media
If is ethical to defend a social media crime then please allow and recognize the adverts on social media
because of the ff reasons.
1. The Law schools advertised on social media
2. The UK and US who have leading lawyers allow that
3. Most crimes are now being committed on social media
4. Madam CJ social media is where the gig of kaw is located now.

The mentality that was practiced in the days of Guggisberg is what Ghanaian leaders in the 21st century are still practicing. They are like zombies. They are never ready to change and that is why kente is still woven like the way it started. Useless people. Go to the advanced countries and see if lawyers do not advertise.

What is she saying? Does it make sense what she is saying? What is the difference? How can such a person administer justice as the Chief Justice? I'm disgusted. Is she aware that social media platforms such as Facebook is another website. Such an uneducated literate.

Sophie Akuffo is outmoded in her thinking. Social media profiles, including blogs, are by their nature the same as a website, therefore they are also likely to constitute as advertising.

Where really is the distinction between advertising on a website and on social media? It is all part of advertising and nobody can put a distinction between social media and a website because it is intertwined. The very learned chief justice needs to be briefed properly and I also think she is not highly vexed with the technological age we are in now.

What a fool this girl is? Where does social media reside?

It's like saying you can be in Kumasi but you cannot be in the Ashanti region.

This is how archaic and retrogressive you so-called leaders are.

What a fool this girl is? Where does social media reside?

It's like saying you can be in Kumasi but you cannot be in the Ashanti region.

This is how archaic and retrogressive you so-called leaders are.

What is the essence of advertising in the 1st place? Is it not to attract customers to your goods/products, services, and brand and therefore make more money, pay taxes, create jobs for the milling unemployed?

These idiots leading this nation must give way to modernity and progress.

If I may ask. Has anybody come across any lawyer practising in europe or America advertising himself on facebook, instagram, twitter, etc? You may have seen some, however, apart from three Sosu incidence, I am yet to see any. On the other hand, Have you seen a lawyer or law firm having a private url/website? Many. In my candid opinion, I think we must rather consider the reasons behind all these restrictions instead of some of us even insulting the old woman. Let's show a little respect;

This is a very bad law. Draconian and primitive. Time to scrap this law entirely. And so what if he advertised? Wouldn't a 9 month or 12 month suspension suffice? Wat is this efuom thing in Ghana where all sentences are meant to break you totally rather than serve as a punishment? Scrap this law entirely and bring the legal fraternity into the modern day world. Let them advertise. Period.

Metaphorically, social media is akeen to drive by foods on the go ..... (and anything goes!). Munching anywhere and anyhow.

A website could however be compared to a restaurant ...... a clearly defined seated space for the purpose of enjoying a meal to the fullest.

There's a difference!
