    The braggart cut and paste expert, francis kwarteng is now trying to make a kidding hypocrite U-turn in his cut and paste system but it's too late for the 4 squared blockhead.

  • Osae 8 years ago

    Kwarteng is a moniker. This idiot is a veritable fool who has too much time on his hands because he is on welfare in USA due to mental problems.

  • All Die Be Die 8 years ago

    dumbass, is Osae your real name? ever heard of pseudonym - pen name? don't we have many celebrated authors writing under pseudonyms? assuming Kwarteng is not his real name, is that a crime and what has that got to do with the ...

    As I use to preach francis kwarteng is very very bad in English language, you all can bear with me and bail me out reading this very article he has to about 70% written on his own with the rest 30% cut and pasted.

    The columnist is really bad in English Grammar.

  • Nyankatyi 8 years ago

    Honestly the essay has been presented in a low English Standard in such a way that it makes the whole article a little bit difficult to understand.

    I can now understand why People bash this particular writer as a cut & pa ...

    Frank, what's your point with this silly non-story? Who cares who did what? It seems you want recognition for something, but we do not get it. Write about something we can use, not name calling against people who cannot defen ...

    Dear Readers,

    I will like readers to go to--www.ghanahero.com/Productions.html--and listen to Blakk Rasta's "Kwame Nkrumah," a very powerful tune.

    Thanks.

    Oh Bob(Sponge Bob) and Amin Jamera, I pity you.

  • John Nkrumah 8 years ago

    Does this Kwarteng has any productive thing to do?

  • All Die Be Die 8 years ago

    do you pay Kwarteng's rent? do you feed him? how productive are you to spend your "productive" time reading an unproductive article? you see how hate has rendered you stupid?

  • Ghanaman 8 years ago

    Ok, now can any of you Nkrumah praise singers tell us the name of Kwame Nkrumah's father?

  • Prof Lungu 8 years ago

    Ghanaman,
    Next, you will be asking us what town Nkrumah came from!

    Imagine you could not put "Ghana" and "man" together!

    That is precisely what this "praise-singing" essay is about, if you will pay a little attention t ...

  • Somuah 8 years ago

    I guess they cannot but they want to talk about Danquah whose father is known not like Nkrumah whose father is only known as a goldsmith without a name.

  • Prof Lungu 8 years ago

    So then, we still could not put "Ghana" and "man" together, if those whose fathers' names were "known" had had their way.

    And by your record, we know at least Nkrumah's father came from the working class, a tradesman, if y ...

    Dear Prof. Lungu,

    Thanks for this brilliant response to these praise-singers of Danquah...I don't think there is more to add to Somuah's illogical tantrum...

    Thanks once again.

  • francis kwarteng 8 years ago

    Dear Readers,

    Please, go ahead and replace Nkrumah's age at which he married at 47 (instead of the 40 at) in later paragraphs and then perform the approximation to the nearest tenth.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

  • Ghanaman 8 years ago

    Kwarteng, tell us the name of Nkrumah's father and where he was from.

    Thanks.

    I will advise you to find something better to do as to post irrelivant and uneducative articles to such sensitive platforms. You don't make sense.

    Dear Social Democrat,

    What is tribalistic about this piece? Well, were both Nkrumah and Danquah not Akans? Were their parents not Akans? And is this author an alien from outer space?

    Like father like son. How many wives, concubines and children (both legitimate and illegitimate) did J. B. Danquah have and how come he always rented and never built a house?

    Writing on Ghanaweb is for fun, not serious scholarship. Let us see your name in serious academic journals where your peers review your work!
