  • Mr.N 10 years ago

    What I would like to know is who asked Akwesi Appiah to quit the wife or the kids.

    Mr. N, over here in the US, people who confide in their wives or girlfriends some past misdeeds eventually end up in jail because those women told it when the relationship broke up.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    Kwasi, time to be quiet and avoid the media because despite your successes, many people simply don't like you because the position did not go to their favorite, party member or tribal choice. That is the truth

  • AMERICA LOVER 10 years ago
