    This is about the funniest joke I have come across in a long time! To mention Nana Addo and the Nobel Peace Prize in the same breath is a contradiction.

    Certainly not for such an aggressive personality who thinks nothing ...

    All the analogy made here by this writer is total nonsense in that, the premise of this write up stems from a deep bias that is very evident. The most appalling of all is the fact that this writer is very prejudice about the ...

    John Hamilton, you are really funny and not serious at all to have spent your precious time garnishing Nana Addo with accolades of peace.
    Have you forgotten so soon that his first choice was violence? He is the disgraced lea ...

    John, you can love Akufo-Addo all you can but HE IS NOT A NOBEL material. Period! This man is arrogant, spreads hate, feels entitled to lead Ghana, and has surrounded himself with a bunch of idiots and tribal mongers.

    Nonsense. The Nobel Prize for who, Akufo Addo? You are a joker.

  • Dziko Kwame 11 years ago

    Mr John Hamilton

    Let us assume that you are a Ghanaian. Fine. If that is the case, the UNIGOV Referendum of 1978 (not 1977) was a brave act shown by late Justice I. K. Abban.

    Have you heard of JUSTICE ABBAN before? I ...

  • Okponglo Guy 11 years ago

    The NDC has done everything in its power to rob Nana of power. They did not fear Kufuor that much but they dread Nana. Why? I guess they know that he would have been a pain in their behind hence they've robbed him twice.

  • Kofi 11 years ago

    First of all, I am not sure you can characterize the NPP petition to the Supreme Court as "political crisis". The people have spoken and, until the Supreme Court directs otherwise, life goes on. What has to be done is being d ...

  • Seymour Gray, LL.B. (USA) 11 years ago

    I have long been stating that Nana Akufo-Addo has been, for most of his career in Ghana, a Champion of democracy. Every day more and more people, more and more followers recognise the vision. He is not only a Champion of demo ...

    Are you kidding? This just shows how empty you are. Do you think ghanaians and the world are blind or ignorant?Nana has no other option else he will take it.

  • Kofi Sefa 11 years ago

    Someone who is preaching all-die-be-die should be awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. Either you are intentionally closing your eyes to truth or you refuse to open them, but whatever it is i must say check your sources well.
