Papa Appiah you wrote:
"Dr Bawumiah has proved one thing and one thing only so far in the election petition hearing, and that is, that he is a very intelligent gentleman and a genius with numbers. Unfortunately, it is the same intelligence and sharpness of mind that is slowly eroding his very credibility as a witness. For, at the end of the day, who really believes an individual who avoids answering questions but keeps repeating sound bites he has already prepared. The only reason one refuses to answer questions directly is when one has something to hide and this has not been lost on the judges. Mr. Atuguba, on a few occasions, has had to remind the gentleman to “show some discipline” and answer the questions in a manner required by the courts and not as if he was on a political platform".
Listen Tikenenkene Appiah; only a fool will ask the same question over and over again and expect a different answer every time. That is the contra of the insanity rule. You are the insane and nonsensical here expecting to get a different result doing the same thing repetitively.
Have you thought maybe Bawumia gives the same answer because the NDC and EC lawyers keep asking the same question? Have you noticed these lawyers are not even asking questions about pink sheets that the NPP has submitted as part of their 11,138 bones of contention but rather are asking questions on pink sheets that the NPP has discarded as part of their election petition?
If you have a prepared set of answers for Bawumia to use, may be you can submit them to him or else shut up. If you ever had a decent bird's brain pass in Maths, you will have realized that ZERO too is a number and not a vacuum or blank. Adwee!! How could you have over looked the fact that the reason why the EC and NDC lawyers keep asking the same questions repetitively is to lay snarls for inconsistency in the answers Bawumia give? Having failed that you are indignant that Bawumia is consistent in his answers to same questions asked over and over again. I suggest to you that you are the nonsense here. The tosh you have penned down here does not pass mustard. Got it? Come again.

As you yourself have clearly started, zero too is a number and not a vacuum or a blank.
Invariably, you are saying a blank is not the same as zero, but Bawumia did the exact opposite of what you yourself believes in, he equated blank to zero.
Fortunately, that was the most grievous sin the Bawumia committed. Wherever there were blanks on the pinksheets, he put zero there and used the zeros for his calculations.
That was the reason why when Bawumia said those blanks on their exhibits were errors, Tsatsu kept asking him if there should be zero there.
Bawumia has not help the NPP's case by the way he inserted zeros into his pinksheets for the analysis.

What then is "space"? I mean hitting the space bar instead of writing a figure? What is the difference between space and blank? What is the difference between zero and space, or zero and blank? Have you steadied mathematics?

There are people writing about math who are rather ignorant about it. The empty set , blank in this case is not the same as the zero set which has the real number zero in it. On exams like SAT where a studentis penalized by the deduction of a fraction of incorrect answers, students who leave the questions blank do not suffer this penalty. The blank set is not the same as the zero set. The first one is empty but the second has the real number zero in it.

Some times you wonder if men have lost their reason and their intellectual discipline had been thrown down to the dogs.Instead of giving praise to a master piece written by Papa Appiah,people are criticizing just for the sake of criticism but making no sense at all.
This is an article devoid of legalism and based on common sense.If you want to win a case in court then it is important to be credible and not evasive because judges take into consideration these things when giving their judgments.For the ordinary man the demeanor of Bawunia may appear insignificant but what is coming across is that Bawumia is no more interested in the out come of this petition that is why he is careless with his answers. If your answers are coming out like a game of chess instead of the search for truth then you are in danger of delivering a grave blow to your case.

Papa Appiah, I am in love with this your simple and logical reasoning.Yes, indeed, this case has made most of us who hitherto, knows nothing about how the law operates have come to know that, evidence, the concrete evidence is all what it takes to win a case.If I have the power, I wouldn´t allow this nonsense of Akufo Addo and his saboteurs to go on forver.I live in Europe and have an european lady who always vist this site to know about Ghana which she and I have visited and are still planning to visit. As a lawyer, she has been following this case very closely.Her word is that,"but for the sake of rule of law and a better democracy, this case should have been thrown out to safe cost, since the witness is a complete liar who shouldn´t be taken serious".
It is one thing calling oneself a genius,based on one´s field of specialiazation,but another altoether, excelling in another.This is the mising link in Bawumia´s evidence.Or is it youthful exobirant? I want to tell him that he and his NPP has no reason where 4 million votes would be thrown away by a competent court,in order for Akufo Addo to become president and he a vicepresident.It is amusing indeed! If Bawumia is anything to be taken seriously, at least his people in the north would have voted for him overwhelmingly.But what did we see? Not even his own mother and sister support him.

So NPP's case is on an assumption that though they had the same presidential election votes results like any other party that took part in it, yet they assume that planks in the results sheets were left purposely by the EC so that it together with NDC fill.
The absurdity in that assumption is that EC did not present any other result apart from what NPP and other parties that took part in the elections have.
So has the blanks been filled and announced later as the results apart from what Dr. Afari-Djan announced to the nation on 9th December, 2012?

You see Appiah i like your write-up but its full of dishonesty. Yes Atuguba cautioned Bawumia, but can you count the number of times your counsel were cautioned including asking Bawumia not answer some frivolous and repeated questions. By the way, do you expect your counsel to admit errors that have affected the outcome of the results? please go all out and be honest.
We are praying for our nation but nana won
Papa Appiah you wrote:
"Dr Bawumiah has proved one thing and one thing only so far in the election petition hearing, and that is, that he is a very intelligent gentleman and a genius with numbers. Unfortunately, it is the s ...

Papa appiah I hope you studied maths in school. Any null set means an empty set which has zero element s as content. Go to any exam and leave the answer sheets blank if you will not be given zero marks.
The world is full of idiots and PAPA APPIAH is the leader. Blank is not zero,so he says. Blank is nothing and nothing. Take your ceque and sign it. Do not write any ammount on it and try to cash it. You are the biggest fool o ...

Big no, blank space does not equal to zero b'cos zero is relatively a figure and blank is an unwritten empty space on paper etc.PERIOD!!!.
There are people writing about math who are rather ignorant about it. The empty set , blank in this case is not the same as the zero set which has the real number zero in it. On exams like SAT where a studentis penalized by t ...

Nana won this election
You guys never learn.... Keep fooling yourselves Nana Addo Won. 2008 Nana Won, 2012 Nana won...2016 Nana will win.
Sad!
Good reasoning Papa. Very soon Bawumia will become a laughing his own patry
Bawumia is just being used by his party to do all the dirty work and the poor man does not even know it. Is it because he is a Northerner? Shame on Nana Akufo-Addo and company!
Akadu,
What is sad about this article ?
In your opinion,is an agent a mere observer or an exalted oserver ?Is that what the law defines it ?
Do you know what is truly sad ?That someone would look in the faces of honourabl ...

This Papa Appiah sounds like a fool, he did not use his brain very well in this forum. Please contact The real Dr Bawumia for tutoring
Some times you wonder if men have lost their reason and their intellectual discipline had been thrown down to the dogs.Instead of giving praise to a master piece written by Papa Appiah,people are criticizing just for the sake ...

I will not ask you to go back to school because you have never been. Blank is not zero. If you were studying the alphanumeric decoding of a finger-print and Mr. A had zero, while Mr. B had blank (in the decoding), would you c ...

Kwasia Fool, Did other Polling Agents and Officers sign these documents ??
The answer is yours.
It is due to Nana's relentless quest to emulate his late dad's presidency at all cost that's why the NPP is holding the nation to ransom. Kuffour & co are silent because they know the truth and won't risk their hard-earned re ...

One of the brilliant objective analysis ever. Appiah feed us more of your stuff!!
If you lack wisdom, what makes sense to others pretty much seem foolish to you. The only guy talking nonsense at this point seem to be you, Agya Appiah.
KWA-PIA THE FOOL! NDC DOG EATER!
YOU WROTE: "When Mr Bawumiah was asked whether people in the committee, chaired by himself, that was set up after the election to analyze the pink sheets were party loyalists whose primary agenda was to ensure that Nana Akuff ...

Yes, blank is zero until some gives it a number. That was the intent to let the place be blank. It was left so the NDC and the EC can number them later. Grow up my brother, we have seen these acts so many times in African pol ...

If we had not watched the court scenes on TV you might have sounded credible.Your article beggars belief. I am not even sure what to believe. Is Papa Appiah your real name? This is ridiculous propaganda
The EC, Dr Afari Gyan, is a man of impeccable integrity. He has 20 years experience in running elections. He has run elections in which NPP or NDC have won. When NDC or NDC win, they do not talk about "irregulaties" in the el ...
