    Jealousy will kill you before your death. You embitted because Prof. Mills snubbed you for Mahama. Aren't you rather happy JDM appreciated their votes instead?

    How could Campaore have been Rawlings' blossom friend when in fact he (Campaore) had assassinated Rawlings' blossom friend, Sankara? Something is not right.

  • Ojah 2 months ago

    In fact, I really don't know what a leader of Burkina Faso had to do with the nomination of our vice presidential candidate. I am not as 'smart' as and do not write as much as Amidu does, but is he saying Rawlings let our nom ...

  • AMIDU CALLING CAMPAORE HIS BOSSOM FRIEND? 2 months ago

    Anyway, most of our Northern Tribes have Burkinabe origins. Dagbani, Grushi came from Burkina. So no wonder if Amidu is Moshi.

  • Running 2 months ago

    Your level of ignorance is embarrassing. The Moshi of Burkina Faso originated from Ghana and until recently, the Moshie king in Ouagadougou was enskinned by the Nayiri in Nalerigu. It is not the other way round.

  • seth 2 months ago

    Amidu actually referred to Campaore as he Amidu's bossom friend. Not JJ's. Read it again.

  • The Spear 2 months ago

    JJR has NEVER been Compaore's friend because of Sankara who was his friend! Though JJR let 'sleeping dogs lie' because of good neighborliness, he sidelined completely Compaore and made sure he had nothing to do with him.

  • Fawsi 2 months ago

    I don't agree with everything Amidu says but I like that he writes a lot.
    History is very important for the future.
    Let's have more writers and less talkers

  • Justice Manor 2 months ago

    At least Amidu has got a new job as the Murderers' historian. NDC killers. Mills deserved better. But in life you have choices. He made a bad decision for Ghana.
    And here he comes again. The Greedy man

    Amidu is still peeved. He has offsprings but not children! What a miss-the-mark story. Anyway Atta Mills decided to dump you and chose Mahama and they won the 2008 elections. So what's your story about?

    It's clear Martin Amidu is confused. He was peeved that Mills did not make him his Vice. In any party, many are those who will be disappointed that the one who is the final authority did not choose them for one post or anothe ...
