Is this an ethnic psychosis or just plain envy and clinical lunacy? The same man blaming Nana Akufo-Addo for his no-nonsense “All-Die-Be-Die” signal of battle preparedness to the bloody marauders of the National Democratic Congress, has absolutely no problem praising former President Jerry John Rawlings as a “W’agye Wodin,” to wit, “One who have earned… Continue reading Cynical Frivolity, Not Akufo-Addo, Is NPP’s Problem

The decision by the parliamentary minority, in the main the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to take the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to task for the proposed  construction of a $3 million golf course by the Bui Dam Authority (BDA) is wrong-headed (See “Bui City Resort a Necessary Investment – Casely-Hayford” Citifmonline.com 6/21/14). It… Continue reading Cynicism Over Bui Is Not Good Politics

The vehement denial by the legally embattled government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that a 1.5 ton-gold cache impounded by Turkish aviation authorities had not originated from Ghana ought to raise more than eyebrows (See “Gov’t: No Gold from Ghana Seized in Turkey” Peacefmonline.com/Ghanaweb.com 1/28/13). It ought to raise more than mere eyebrows because… Continue reading Come Again, John Jinapor

By all means, let’s show quite a bit of respect, even reverence, to our political pioneers and neo-pioneers like the leaders who ushered Africa into the postcolonial era in the 1950s and 60s. But the fact also remains that every generation has to set and meet its own unique expectations. We must not pretend as… Continue reading Come On, Prof. Lumumba!

I sympathize, somewhat, with staunch New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwarts like Mr. Edward Enin, the Member of Parliament for Obuasi-East; but the fact of the matter is that Mustapha Hamid tells it like it is when he admonishes Alan John Kwadwo “Quitman” Kyerematen to take a hike, by either forming his own party, or even… Continue reading Come On, Alan Is A Dead Horse!

Give it to him!…. I am talking about Alan-the-Quitman, of course. You may not like my distant cousin, but you cannot begrudge him his great “Fante” sense of humor(tongue-in-cheek, of course). By now it ought to be clear to party delegates, supporters and sympathizers that Mr. Kyerematen is not afraid to add the moniker of… Continue reading Come On, Cut the Jokes, Mr. Cash!!!

I was first alerted to the New/Free Press article by a pal resident in the Washington, DC area who was so distraught about the dismissal of the Akufo-Addo/New Patriotic Party (NPP) Election 2012 Presidential Petition that any information that seemed to criminally impugn the credibility and integrity of any of the disagreeable members of the… Continue reading Come On, Emma Lawson!

Maybe he has so predictably soon forgotten this, but we avid students and watchers of Fourth-Republican Ghanaian political culture have not forgotten the legions of times that Chairman Jerry John Rawlings, closely followed on a leash by the late President John Evans Atta-Mills, then-Candidate Mills, besieged the Appeals Court Building in Accra with battalions of… Continue reading Come On, Mr. Rawlings, Justice Atuguba Is a Patent Fraud!

The call by the National Women’s Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ms. Anita DeSouza, for the resignation of the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mr. Kwasi Nyantakyi, while admittedly worthy of critical examination and serious consideration is, nevertheless, contradictory (See “Eight Years Is Too Much [sic] For Kwesi [sic] Nyantakyi… Continue reading Come On, Ms. DeSouza, Clueless Rawlings Ruled Ghana for Twenty Years!

Predictably, the Council-of-State weighed in on the side of the hand that generously feeds its membership with whatever sinecure it receives from the Flagstaff House. I don’t want to sound unnecessarily cynical, but what the membership of our otherwise august Council-of-State ought to have done in the wake of the June 3 flash-flood that cost… Continue reading Come On, Multiply The Accusations!
