    Have any of you NDC people attended Limann's memorial before for all the years that you were in power? Was Limann not a former president like Atta Mills?

  • Esi 6 years ago

    Eye Asem ooo! Maybe we need an Anniversay every year for Nkrumah, Genn Ankrah, Kotoka, Acheampong, Gen Akuffo, Busia , Akuffo-Addo (Snr) andall the other nkominis!

    Lots of anniversary to attend!

  • NDC NATION WRECKERS 6 years ago

    THE NDC ARE NEITHER SERIOUS AS A PARTY NOR GOVERNMENT. THEY LAMENT ON TRIVIALITIES.

    I PRAY THAT THEY WILL REMAIN IN OPPOSITION UNTIL A SERIOUS OPPOSITION PARTY OR PARTIES EMERGE.

  • OYOKOBA 6 years ago

    For a party which antecedents - AFRC, PNDC to NDC - spilled so much blood, including former heads of state, don't you find it odd, Mr. Spew Garbage, that you should be calling on your political opponents to celebrate the 5th ...

    It is not obligatory for NPP to be there but it would have been proper.
    What many people have posted also make sense. There has not been anniversaries for Busia and Limann. Why? We need to consider joint anniversaries for th ...

    Mills died in office. Gen Akuffo was murdered in office. Who deserves an anniversary celebration? If it is a national function as NDC is claiming why should they be organizing it and why were they expecting political parties ...

    I don't think you Amenye have the capacity to tell us that 'what's wrong is wrong and vice versa'.

  • Ohene 6 years ago

    Dr Spio, there's a lot of confusion on the death of Prof Mills. His wife, family, and the NDC itself. His wife is the number 1 , family and his party follows. Hypocrisy. Today the family standing on one side has not seen his ...

    Was attendance by invitation? NPP cannot just pack themselves up to attend a ceremony that they have not been invited to attend.

  • Dead goats at 5th anniversary. 6 years ago

    Spio Garbra, NPP was following what Jesus said. "Let the dead bury their dead". The dead goats were all there to mourn. Ghanaians are not enthused about all your shouting and wailing about nothing since the dead goat was upro ...

    This Spio Garbrah is losing it! Dying in office is an achievement of Mills? Why should government be taking part in an opposition political party's activity? Did you invite the family of Atta Mills?

  • Qerch 6 years ago

    Good talk

  • Akua Donkor 6 years ago

    Does NDC organize state functions? If it is a state function, did government organize it? Let Spio and his ilk be reminded that NDC is no more in power and are not mandated to organize state functions!!!!!

  • ScHoly 6 years ago

    I still find it difficult to understand why the government did that. It makes me ask, is Ghana worth dying for? So imagine NDC is in power one day and J.A Kufour is dead and they do nothing in his memory on his anniversary, h ...

  • Akua Donkor 6 years ago

    Atta MIlls did not die for Ghana. He died. Is he the only Ghanaian or even the only head of state who has died? General Akuffo was murdered in office, Lt Gen Kotoka was also murdered. Do we celebrate the anniversary of their ...

    This is bull crap. Do we celebrate Major-General Kotoka, General Akuffo, Afrifa and others who were irresponsibly executed with the useless slogan "Probity and Accountability" coined by the bastard - Rawlings who eventually t ...

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 6 years ago

    I understand NPP a bit. Mills was a sitting Prez and if there is any anniversary for him, it is the government, his party and family that must organize it. If NDC does it alone, it ceases to be a national function but a party ...

  • Lomotey 6 years ago

    Both Meles Zenawi or Ethiopia and Bingu wa Mutharika of Zambia died in 2012.

    But I don't see any of these countries having a 5th Anniversary or the Past Leaders.

    What is so special about the dead in Ghana?

  • Kwaku Charles 6 years ago

    Charity they say begins at home. Spio should have first and foremost criticized the absence of the late president's wife from the anniversary before criticizing government.
    The bigger question is where was Naadu Mills. Well ...

  • Citizen 6 years ago

    This is the biggest problem with NDC - they refuse to think properly. An event to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the demise of Prof. Attah-Mills, if we should organise it at all, must be a state function not a party one. ...
