    Illiterate idiot. What is the meaning of this, "who only writes to condemn the well-to-do people from other tribal divide"? Did you just hear the term "tribal divide" and decided to use it which is wrongly used here?

    Poku, I enjoyed reading your piece. What Awoonor wrote and did politically cannot be whitewashed by revisionist like Francis Kwarteng. Good job.

    That is the whole truth. Thank God for death, that can silence every human being. Just look at the way he ended. Indeed the evil that men do lives after them. Others will follow in the same pattern.
