Don't be silly! Let Kwesi speak his mind! This is how he helped to build the democracy we are all enjoying! Don't you have elders in your home? What did Mr. Pratt say that irks you so much? The President never went to court for even one minute. If after the hard work by others, he did not have the decency even to thank them, should he not point that out?

Look at Akufo-Addo. He was in court regularly. He was constantly in touch with his legal team. Yet he thanked them for their hard work, even though they lost the case! How would you objectively compare the two?

Everyone knows Mr. Pratt supports President Mahama, and has been against Nana Akufo-Addo throughout the campaign, but the man is objective and a principled person who calls a spade a spade!

The "problem" with Mr. Pratt is that you cannot buy him. He is no sycophant! He speaks his mind very clearly, and with much wisdom. He does not care about your insults! Even with Rawlings' gun pointed at his head, he spearheaded the struggle against his dictatorship which ushered Ghana into the democracy we are enjoying!

The man virtually sacrificed himself to help free Ghana from military dictatorship into the current democratic dispensation. The minimum we can do is to be thankful and show him some respect!

FORWARD EVER! BACKWARD NEVER!!!

Comment: TIME FOR NPP TO LEARN THEIR LESSONS!

Comment: TIME FOR NPP TO LEARN THEIR LESSONS!

Yes! That is the spirit! Ghana wins! I have always maintained that the NPP petition was void ab initio. It was a waste of time and resources. It is a pity that such a frivolous and extremely vexatious case almost plunged the nation into confusion.

The NPP needs to lick their wounds and begin to find out why they lost. It has to be clear to them that they lost not because they were cheated. Perhaps, they need to be less war-like. Bellicose statements like "all die be die" must have put voters off.

The insults of other ethnic groups need to stop. How do you call all Ewes "trokosi" and expect them to vote for you? How do you call people from the North as "cow rearers" and expect a massive vote? The NPP campaigned unwittingly against itself.

The "Free SHS" 419 also failed to trick Ghanaians. First of all, it was announced before much thought was even given to how much it was going to cost. Nana akufu-Addo was pathetic in his BBC HARDtalk interview, when he was asked a simple question:

"PRESENTER: So have you costed it? How much will it cost?'

NANA AKUFO-ADDO: The costing... the costing... is being... is being done. I mean very very soon we will be in the position.

PRESENTER: No, you must have costed it! You can't make a promise like that without costing it?

NANA AKUFO-ADDO: No, no, no, very, very soon we are going to be...

PRESENTER: How much?
NANA AKUFO-ADDO: Very, very soon, we are going to be... put it together. I prefer...

PRESENTER: You don't know how much?
NANA AKUFO-ADDO: I do know how much, understand, but...

PRESENTER: Oh, then tell me that?
NANA AKUFO-ADDO: I will prefer to tell the people of Ghana directly before I tell you."

Time for the analysis to flow! More is coming!

COMMENT: BBC: Ghana Supreme Court upholds John Mahama's win

BBC: Ghana Supreme Court upholds John Mahama's win | General News 2013-08-29 

COMMENT:
My views on this is exactly the same as those of Pan-Africanist International when asked what was the mood before the Judgement Day, yesterday by Radio XYZ:

"Complete indifference! It does not matter which way the verdict goes! Ghana's political class has betrayed the people of Ghana over the most fundamental issue to the well-being of the good people of this country. Both the NDC and the NPP unanimously voted for the imposition of Genetically Modified Foods on Ghanaians without a discussion, or any specific mandate from the people who voted them into Parliament. The NPP government introduced the Bill in 2004. The NDC government passed it into law in 2011!

They have both betrayed our trust, our health, and our environment. they pretend to be fighting each other, but they agree on imposing dangerous genetically modified organisms into our food chain! They should give us a break! The charade is too much! It is time our politicians from both sides of the political divide are made to account for their irresponsible behaviour of placing the future of Ghana's agriculture into the hands of foreign multinational corporations of doubtful intentions and abilities!"  See: https://www.facebook.com/FoodSovereigntyGhana/posts/487273241363199

What is in a name? As Shakespeare once rightly wrote, "That which is called rose shall still smell sweet by any other name"!

I am prepared to even give the credit to Danquah for suggesting it, but what is the point? They guy was a CIA asset, and no patriot! What is more important - giving your child a name or protecting him or her from harm?

Of course, most of you even believe that colonial rule was the best thing that ever happened to us, and that Slavery was a favour "our white Masters" did to our ancestors!

How can anyone hope to argue with such a mentality? I do not only rest my case, I give up!
