    HE SHOULD CALL NANA AND TALK TO HIM INSTEAD OF GOING ON RADIO EVERY NOW AND THEN. WE KNOW YOU'RE NDC.

  • Ken Ntiamoa 7 years ago

    Dr Kwame Nkrumah did not fire officials by way of a nice dismissal letter, Mr KB Asante.

    He fired by 1 pm radio announcement. And the tone wasn't nice either.

    Think deeply before you write my friend. He is talking about a letter and it's tone. Did we have typewriters and papers during Nkrumah's time?

    Have you sighted examples and the tone of those letters before? People were fi ...

    IT is enough with Nkrumah. He was a dictator and KB should know that. Enough of these 1930 and 40 guys. Nkrumah fired, killed and imprisoned people without any reason

  • Omanba Pa, Islington-London 7 years ago

    We want to build Ghana that is the aim of NPP. Therefore, leave Nana Addo alone to do his work. The same people will talk about Nana if he fails his promises so l want everyone to leave the man to do his job. Okay?

    His nickname has always been Nana Patapaa and he is living up to the name.
    No wonder the youth of today think they can take over businesses, toll booths and school diners.

    I disagree with the assertion that he has "served the nation." When you talk about being polite and professional, it's a different story but in terms of "SERVICE TO THE NATION" this individual had a different agenda!!

    Ask whether Opuni extended any courtesies to his staff and opponents. He is not a nice person I hear!

  • Kee 7 years ago

    KB isn't being sincere, during Nkrumah's era dismissal letters were issued on radio at the1pm news. No letters were issued, after the news and you didn't hear your name then you're secured for another day.

  • Ruben 7 years ago

    What is this oldman KB Asante about? We are not in the Kwame Nkrumah era. Please go home and rest. We do not need your divisive comments. Opuni needs to go period. We do not have to sugar coat anything.

    As much as I dislike Opuni for his arrogance, i equally think Nana Asante Bediatuo has the same problem and might not augar well for the president who has worked so hard to removed that impression from the minds of Ghanains.

    This should be a very big lesson to Ndc and I blame it on Atta Mills. When he won in 2009,he refused to sack most directors appointed by Kufour saying he is the father for all. Mahama did same. Now what are we seeing?
