    Danquah does no wrong. Danquah is our leader. Danquah is our messiah. Danquah never dies.

    Kwarteng, you sounds totally exausted from pasting series of copied garbage. You are now cutting more garbage than rubbish.

    You have two major problems, you can't think right and secondly your low I.Q. can't help you to ex ...

    Bob, you are so knowledgeable. Your great encyclopedias on scientific knowledge must be mandatory reading for all university scholars. Personally, I'm honored for the introduction to your colossal intellect.

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 8 years ago

    The kudos is to Francis for honouring the memory of an indefatigible woman who unfortunately married a womanising rogue! Ha! ha! That one comes out clearly in the piece. You can't sanitised it.

    I join you wholeheartedly to celebrate the great achievements of a great woman who married a great man.

    Mabel great yes but J B had none of greatness.Greatness was being trust upon him but he failed miserably to grasp it

    Kojo T, the disgrace is becoming rampant, better let it be with trying to comment in English, Kojo stop pulling Ewes in a dirth and better write your comments next time in Ewe, after all we can understand you good.

    Dear Aboliaboli,

    Tell us also how Mabel's "voice" (in your special case) correlates with all her pseudonyms (as regards all the newspapers I mentioned and her corpus of short stories)!

    Tell us also how all these "facts ...

    Francis Kwarteng,
    I am criticising your entire approach, which the introdution cannot excuse!
