still shaking my head. How can somebody with 10.92 be a national athlete. Are we that poor as a sprint nation. No wonder he is insulting everybody else who has done much better than him.

I posted an earlier comment on John Ampomah's reaction to this low life. Just ignore this boy. He has never changed from his days at Adisadel. I know him very well. He speaks and reason's like a typical villager. His IQ is smaller than a newly born baby. I see no reason why he shd insult Leo, Ope, Nkansah, Dodoo and all of them. He appears deranged and needs psychiatric help. Rubbish in, rubbish out!! Just ignore him.

I always wondered who this Kweku Nimako character is. & there you have it. I can't believe this 10.92 athlete has been passing judgement on us. What yardstick was he using.He is a disgrace to athletics!

How did he and Luttrodi think they were going to win this fight over what really happened in 2003? If they were smart enough, they should have simply said back then, times were difficult. no money so we encouraged our athletes to help in whatever way possible. BUT i guess that will also be a lie LOL. Caught between in no man's land ..... he should drop 2003 and move on to 2004 hahahaha

Agyaaaa!! Did I miss something? "By the way, Nimako is on record referring to himself as a former national champion in the 100m. With all due respect, Ghana even at its worse has always had an abundance of decent sprinters. When in our history did a 10.9s secs sprinter become a national champion?" The National Championship might have taken place on the Moon where the fastest is the slowest and the slowest is the fastes. :)

I have listened to both men on radio and one HUGE difference between the 2 is that Dodoo always gives credit and acknowledges the athletic contributions of athletes both local and foreign-based and puts their performance into it's proper context. Even the ones he has had disagreements with are complimented for their place in history as indicated by performance.

Uncle Lutterodt on the other hand; hmmmmm, how should i put it? He seems to have trouble describing performance in technical terms and how Kofi or Kwame's accomplishments on the track/field fits into the broader narrative. He only talks about my time was good. We had many many medals in 2003. Well now he has run into a wall. The people who won the medals in 2003 are telling the real story behind the success. Unfortunately, it looks like he was just a passenger on the 2003 train being driven by resourceful athletes.

What is wrong with Ghanaians? I guess the word RETIREMENT does not exist in our vocabulary.

Uncle Lutterodt, please retire, go home and rest in perfect peace. PERIOD!

IF he at least had some new ideas to offer, then i would say let's give him the platform just to see hear him. Uncle Lutterodt has no new ideas, and can't even acknowledge the exponential growth in performance we have witnessed this year. I am sorry but even though i think Dodoo can rub people the wrong way, WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE HIM who is hard nosed enough to drive an agenda that gets us all where were want Athletics to be. So for me, throw away the issue about personality. THIS IS ABOUT PERFORMANCE. Deliver of go home.

As for U)fa Lutterodt, i think his campaign plans and line of attack is a year old. It was designed for last year when not much happened in athletics and we were all alarmed. But it should also tell people what kind of leader he will be. HE can't even adjust his message to reflect reality.

A lot of our young people have no respect for the elderly these days. Why should a small boy like Nimako be talking negatively about people of the stature of Leo, Nkansah, Nsiah, just because they disagree with what he says. ...

I take issue with people here discounting Nimako as a spokesperson for George Lutterodt because he ran s low time in the 100 meters. Folks should debate Nimako on the issues and not his time in the 100.

John Ato Amos or whoever you call yourself, we will sure the Hell out of you after this congress. Who told you Nimako run 10.92? I hope you can prove this in court.
