What is so important about DANKWA to be spelled right click or wrong? This man is losing it. If he, Okoampa or whatever the name is is so good, Nana would not have settled for Mahama's former Ambassador as Cabinet minister.

I warned you to stop the attacks on Hon. Haruna but you keep attacking him without no fault .
Normally, MPs have PAs who draft all statements for MPs , it might happened they , the spelling mistake occurred as a result of error .
What's even important about misspelling a word? All like -minded people know that the era of computes, typing mistakes is about.
There are even notable first class world newspapers, where you can find tying errors .
Ahoofe, you're completely a lunatic, jealous and an empty headed being.
Who the hell kind of wasting our time by trying to make capital of none issue?
What stupidity is that to spend a whole article, a space on Ghana web, to write on only misspelling that stupid name Dankwa,which is a local name.
I think ,Ghana web should take out this lunatic writing Mumbo-Jumbo like pieces on the site.
He is just a buffoonery period.
He hasn't being given anything ,so he wants to try last minutes resistance by firing gibberishly so that Nana will see him.No, you won't get anything.
Nana Addo ,sees you as a con man. This vagabond had better find something to do than waste his small coins and energy on write-ups.
You're on Ghana web, showing your English, but small boy Eugene Ahin was made a full director of communication whiles you noisemaker still sit here making noise.
If you had worth anything, you could have been employed to save npp from the record breaking plagiarism scandal disgrace then.

At this modern times when the queen and her subordinates even speak modern refined english, this villager called " Okoampah " continually torments civilised intellectuals with his colloquial english. How many Russian names can you spell ? Mind you, Haruna Iddrisu is a northerner and is not obliged to learn all your village akan names. Even me, myself and I being of fanti origin wouldn't bother myself to learn how to spell every fanti or ashanti names. You are really a laughing stalk as far as the english language is concerned. Can you compare yourself to the likes of Tony Blairs and the Obamas who give speeches without looking on a sheets of papers ? In fact you are quite annoying and you really need to open your eyes because you are a real village roasted cassava fool.

This article isn't about just the spelling. It's about why Haruna shouldn't be taken seriously. The writer only uses a current issue as a reference point. This is mature writing if you ask me.

@Yaa, I think okoampa should be the person u should backlash and not try to belittle the noble academic profession. Academics and for that matter, lecturers all over the world are reveered so much. To describe a lecturer as having not achieved anything in life is like saying that nobody has achieved anything in life. Academia is the only profession that requires a PhD as the minimum qualification to start a career. In fact, no professional can be compared to a person who imparts knowledge, especially in the academia and even MPs and presidents are aware. Next time know how to take on okoampa without trying to bring down academia.

I'm specifically referring to him as an individual and not the whole body.

It is becoming an increasing carcass for most educated and so called literate Ghanaians in belittling their educational standards. Hmmm! if a child does not performed well in school; he is sure to get a rebuke but when Dady gets a spelling wrong; dady always says it is due to tiredness, so u see; the world of children is not always full of fun. Guest what! in Ghana Kwesi and Qwesi,Kwasi mean the same thing as Sunday born. Danquah, Dankwa also has no difference in meaning. When the spokes person to the President (Danquah orDankwa) Eugene spelt (LETS) to mean let's, no one corrected him because he is an angel of English but when someone spelt Danquah( Dankwa) he is been as inappropriate. Education may mean a journey to stupidity and to some a journey to intelligence. Mr Haruna, u are a hero,the Solomon of our time. Your competitor is yet to be born.

The professor is incredibly Empty in thoughts and intelligence. If he want to make himself relevant from his picturesque and irrelevant corner than he needs to sit up and study in order to make meaningful contributions to national discords. So if this useless professor is lecturing why won't there be massive unemployment in the country because he will only be churning out half baked graduates who cannot fit into the job market. He is an apology to the academia because he lacks substance.

And so what
Is Haruna ldrisu Akan
Fuck off
this ain't a big deal
once it's a noun, it's not wrong
