You have spoken well, but remember not every Ghanaian has the sea of heart to contain the attacks ushered on Mahama by these same people that now want every Ghanaian to shut up even if Nana Ado commit errors. A ball that is thrown onto the wall comes back, don't expect all Ghanaians who are victims of violent demonstrations, burning of markets, hooting at president Mahama, smashing of cars,boycotting of Mahama inauguration, insults e.t.c. by NPP to shut up. They will talk.

NPP praise sings Dr. Busia, Dr. JB Danquah, Victor Owusu, Prez JAK and now Prez Nana Addo Dunkwa and villifies Dr. Nkrumah, Dr. Hilla Limann, Prez JJ , Prez MIlls and ex-Prez Mahama no matter what, not willing to forgive or honor them as statesmen. Now they are trying to appeal to others offended by their attitudes towards other Ghanaian leaders, to praise sing Nana Addo.
Nana Addo eulogize all the founders of our nation except Dr. Kwame Nkrumah!! Was that just a mere coincidence....forgetting such a heavy weight such as Dr. Nkrumah, like him or hate him....the man is world reknown in the diaspora more that those Nana eulogize!!

Who are the competent people here?. Those NPP competent people who could not write a speech but plagiarise?. It is this overbloated self image of some Ghanaians who abrogate to themselves "the know all" mentality is the bane of our backwardness. From Nkrumah's time this nation reckers have constantly projected themselves as the superior Ghanaians yet fail miserably when it matters. To standup and be counted in school they run home with 3rd class and a lost law certificate. They turned round and "sakawaed" Ghanaians to believing they were the most competent and honest yet when the day of reckoning came, they could not write a common inaugural speech. What did they do they disgraced Ghana infront of the whole world with a plagiarised speech. Watch the videos then you hear our beloved president repeating after the two USA presidents they plagiarised as if they were commanding to repeat after them. Where is the honesty such that you could not acknowledge your sources.Where is the competence that you could not write an original and contextualised speech to be called Ghanaian. Where is the integrity for our wise men and women of the most competent elephant family to steal a speech on day 1 of their yet to be "competent" government?. Well you were so blinded by your quest for power such that you never addressed Mahama as president but "incompetent Maama"? There you are incompetent, dishonest, speech stealing Akufo Addo on your first day in office. What goes round surely comes around.

The so called tiny piece of plagiarism, honestly, was amongst a sea of well-knitted/crafted words! I want to believe that it's an honest mistake, as it couldn't be said to have formed even about 5% of the president's extraordinary inaugural speech!

just drop her. she doesn't know fuck all. Speeches, are drawn from one another depending on it's effects on the current circumstances. Ask this girl of her achievements in the Ghanaian society. Mahama, could never be a President of this great nation if he had not stolen the elections. he stole the elections and continued with the same attitude to stealing GHANA's money. he is just a fib, a complete shame to our mother GHANA. Yet, some of us who have no LOVE for our mother GHANA continue supporting him because they all share the same hatred. Greed and incompetence, coupled with corruption and nappy wearing decisions, to destroy our country. mahama, has destroyed the fabric of GHANA's prosperity through massive stealing and economic breakdown. he killed Professor Mills to carry out his nefarious agenda. we are all in this country, we shall see the worms that shall come of his foolish presidency, the true mahama, who once led this country, It won't be long.

Perhaps in their frenzy to despise the president, apostates of hell are all at it again to condemn the latently borrowed lines of former presidents in the speech. What is wrong with their mentality is that the speechwriter did not write a book to sell. He simply fused the speech with some lines of other people. In my opinion, this is not wrong. What is wrong is that critics are so dazed by Ghana's rebirth to the extent that they dont even exercise an iota of intellect to interpret the speech in its entirety but the borrowed lines that lent the sort of finese to the speech itself. The writer did not write a book to profit from. He simply wrote a speech and there is nothing wrong with quoting any "goddam" lines from somewhere. Give us a break, brainless idiots!!

Lyda, you are right that this is a big deal, especially if it were in academics. I think one cannot gross over that fact.

This subject is higly debatable and it should be devoid of insult. I am a bit confused with the issues concerning Nana's speech.
1. Does that particular sentence invalidate the entire speech?
2. If yes, then we can condemn the entire speech totally. However, if it doesn't, then it should not be condemned to this level. As it does happen in the academic universities where many commentators are drawing inferences, when a report or a thesis is submitted to the 'turnitin', the software provides the total percentage of plagiarised sentences. And if it exceeds the university's requirement, that paper is rejected. This connotes that one is most likely to commit such mistake since some percentage of plagiarised sentences are allowed.
In my conclusion since the total percentage is just minimal, the speech is highly acceptable. That notwithstanding, the director of communication should be careful next time to avoid unecessary attack. Because not everyone understand the import of plagiarism.

i guess we learn everyday, so i welcome ur input. however, i find it difficult to accept what u put out as academia's definition of plagiary. at best, u're quoting out of context! want to know why? because it would then be impossible to plagiarize a poem unless it was at least 20 pages long! too, why would we have musicians suing one another 4 lifting stuff from their songs? just a piece of advice. don't believe anything unless u have asked questions about, and obtained satisfactory answers to, any issue at hand (excepting matters of faith - where the Bible must be ur guide)!

Oh Ghana my beloved country....when they hear one thing they take it in a different context and debate on it, instead of thinking of how to manage the country which is in debt. I wonder if the inaugural speech was for academic purposes, like a thesis in which you don't reference an author in which you used his or her work in your thesis, then it's plagiarism. Moreover I don't think any of these speeches from those past president of the US where copyright and that if any other person uses some of their words in their speeches without reference will mean infringement or plagiarism as Ghanaians will call it. "Ghanafo ya br3 mo" you people are too known..meanwhile common toothpick is being imported from China..instead of thinking of how to manufacture equipments and others things by ourselves, rather than criticizing people on how to speak English or write them.
