KABI NA ME NKA BI was not cited as the translation of the word "democracy" into Akan. It was cited as an attribute of democracy, not its definition. In the same way, "Dodoo Amanmmuo," cannot be an Akan translation of democracy. That should be the correct translation of "majority rule" which is, itself, an attribute of democracy, not its definition. You may have to find another conglomeration of Twi words to represent "democracy". That will be difficult. And there is no single word for "democracy" in Akan. Twi experts can attempt, by agreement, to coin a completely new word for that.
For Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, "democracy" in his native Nigeria is "dem all crazy", "crazy demonstration", "demonstration of craze". He made this comment after observing the crazy elections in his country. Is his formulation not an appropriate depiction of what is going on in our own country?

Futuristic Ghana area code solved by yours truly!!!!
Going by alphabetical order of course for the regions and their capitals. As an example, future Ghanian addresses for mail and parcel deliveries will look as follows,
1. Ms. Yaa Nsiah
560 Johannesburg Drive
1,000 Kumasi, Ashanti Region
Ghana - West Africa
2. Ms. Tilly Mensah
150 Abuja Boulevard
2,000 Suyani, Brong Ahafo Region
Ghana - West Africa
3. Ms. Alberta Koomson
800 Avenue of the Americas
3,000 Cape Coast, Central Region
Ghana - West Africa
4. Mr. Ofori Atta
600 Chancellor Street
4,000 Koforidua, Eastern Region
Ghana - West Africa
5. Mr. Niimei Naamei
900 Headquarters Motorway Drive
5,000 Accra, Greater Accra Region
Ghana - West Africa
6. Mr. Emmanuel Asigri
420 Ethiopia Avenue, Apt # 9 C
6,000 Tamale, Northern Region
Ghana - West Africa.
7. Mr. Mahatma Ayariga
555 Industrial Road
7,000 Bolga, Upper East Region
Ghana - west Africa
8. Mallam Abba Bagbin
200 Lagos Avenue
8,000 Wa, Upper West Region
Ghana - West Africa
9. Efo Chuckies Chuckster Kofi Wayo
300 Texas Lane
9,000 Ho, Volta Region
Ghana - West Africa
10. Honorable Papa Owusu Ankoma
252 Skyline Drive
10,000 Seko-Taadi, Western Region
Ghana - West Africa
Is it true that the Ghanian Association of cartographers want the soon to be implemented address system to be simplify as follows:
1. Street name and number, followed by apt number (if any for mail and parcels delivery purposes)
2. Neighborhood,
3. unique area code number, i.e 1,000 - 10,000 for the ten regions in the country. The bigger the town, the more zeros in their area code. As an example, 1,000 for Kumasi area code or 10,000 for Tamale or Accra.
4. Last, the region, and so here is an example of would be soon Ghanian address:
Mr. Emmanuel Asigri
420 Ethiopia Avenue, Apt # 9 C
10,000 Tamale, Northern Region
Ghana - West Africa.
Massa, anaa?
This is no brainer!
Twea!
All those complicated alphanumeric stuff for complex area code is antiquated!
Simplified, Simplification address system is the modern way to go for GH.

BWumiah keeps talking about his figures that he wants to show off in a Microsoft presentationformat. Yesterday, Addisson let the cat out of the bag when he admitted a short fall of 2000 sheets. Ask yourself this. Are these in Bawumiah's figures or not? Did Bawumiah I his affidavit get the pink sheet umbers wrong? Wireko Brobbey may be privy to some info.

Prof.what Yaw has written is true. The phrase is wrongly written. It should read as"ka bi na menka bi amammuo". Illiterate in your own language.

NPP should not accept any apologies from the so-called Dr. Wereko-Brobbey. He doesn't deserve to be in the party. He is a selfish person who goes with his mouth and stomach.

You are just aiming to tarnish the image of Wereko Brobbey because he expressed his heartfelt critism against the unprepared manner NPP went into the election and their subsequent delegation of witness duties to Bawumia who opined self-defeating statement like 'you and I were not there'. Well the facts speaks even more louder than Wereko Brobbey

Kwame, I am sure you dot not have what it takes to make the appropriate diagnosis of REAL happenings in the NPP. You are so deep in your jaundiced(?) views coming from where you do that contrary stances are anathema. For your kind information when you hear the TESCON of the NPP speak, take note of their motto - 'Commitment Without Inducement'. That is a Wereko-Brobbey coinage way back in 1995(!) when with some members of the Party they tried to bring up a pro-youth Patriotic Club!
Wereko-Brobbey won then Asokwa East primaries twice in 1996, but the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Dr. Kwame Donkor Fordwuor for reasons bet known to him refused to submit Tarzan's name as the de jute candidate!! Ahoofe, there have a lot of injustices meted out to some people, but they prefer not to talk about them. Indeed, if you wish it there will be more anon...!!!
