  Ghana under error president John Dramani Mahama hands is not safe and if measures are not taken the collapse of institutions,economy,health and education will be worse and we will live to regret if we did not remove our useless visionless president from office that administer.Since president John Dramani Mahama took office,educators has been writing as if they are failed JHS students.These errors writing begin during the brochure of Ghana 59 birthday independences from Queenland England.We witness errors upon error and even Kenyan president is name Ghana president which was humiliating and embarrassment to our educational faculties and mental health and brain functions and memories.Folks if such error are still happening under our useless visionless president John Dramani Mahama then Ghana has a long way to go because president John Dramani Mahama appointees are semi educated folks are writing under Baba Jamal advice if the name is "Atta write it Ata" to bring confusion.Folks this is not acceptable.It is justifiable for Ama Atta Aidoo to walk out as a protest of our low and error standard of education and inability to spell our names is a shame.No wonder a dead goat is our president.

  I do admire her from the moment I read her book "The Dilemma of a Ghost", but I am really surprised she did that. It was just an ignorant mistake she could have tolerated, there and then.

  Intellect requires, accuracy, precision and diligence; lack of these undermines progress. Recall what happened to the independence day publication. And recall what happened to the President's speech with missing pages at the Movenpick hotel to his embarrassment. These seemingly little 'errors" are slowly becoming part of Ghana's educational system. And you mean we should accept that. When a police officer in Canada once mis-spelt my name on a traffic ticket. I challenged it in court and the presiding judge ruled in my favour and sternly instructed the policy officer to be diligent the next time with people's names. They have no right to alter people's names and identity. Good Luck Ghanaa.

  Intellectual poverty and spelling of Ghanaian names. Since a consonant does not have a stress so why should it be prolonged. It is a fact that all those who continue to write this nonsense does not know were a stress fall on a word in the language they speak. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe wrote rightly that Aidoo should be written Adu, the tenth born. Ebadu and not Baidoo. Ayi and not Aryee.
