KWAKU ADDO | MANCHESTER-UK (Location: United Kingdom) | 1/7/2009 5:25:00 PM I'm quite surprised at Ekua's criticisms. You are definitely culpable of the 'crime' you've accused Kwame of. A critical analysis of your articles depicts a tendecy towards unnecessary ethnicity.

Moreso, your language is not the perfect kind, in respect of grammar or decency. If you want your readers to learn something from your criticisms of others, you will need to learn to sychronise profession with deeds. Objectivity in political discourse would serve to benefit our nation a lot!!

Papa Gyasi | Austin-USA (Location: United States) | 1/7/2009 5:27:00 PM Ekua Kwansema and Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe:

I would like to applaud both of you for your public advocacy and obvious love for the country Ghana.

Unfortunately, there comes a point when passions get in the way, and vigorous debate degenerates into ad hominem attacks. I encourage both of you to please steer away from personal insults, particularly those with unhelpful tribal undertones.

On another minor issue, please mind your subject-verb concordance.

Let the debate about ideas continue! Again, many thanks for your contributiions to the Ghanaian market place of ideas!

Jay Pee | London, UK- (Location: United Kingdom) | 1/7/2009 5:28:00 PM Ekua,

with your delusional mindset you are simply not making this world a better, place. You seem to have too much time at your disposal and have gotten politically, well dare I say, insane. Get a job, do something productive with your time and mind. The devil is using you, my dear. You need help and maybe a husband. Don't sin further against God by resorting to promiscuity or pre-/extra-marital sex. Direct your energies towards something more useful to preserve your sanity; you are really at the cliff edge.

Your articles smack of a rabidly pro-NDC, anti-NDC maniac's diatribe. No wonder you seem to hate Ahoofe so much. I will not say he is your direct opposite; he has a job and a very good one. The frequency with which you surely indicates you are not busy.

You make the NDC seem like the nicest thing since sliced bread. Not even relatively honest NDC supporters would see eye to eye with you - they may think you are sick. When Ahoofe writes, his views may be polarized but they come out more honest and refined than yours.

Fellow Ghanaians, where did this sister of ours go wrong? Tell me if you know. The elections are over anc there is an implicit call to cease fire and live and let live, so we can all build our nation together. But, Ekua will not stop; like a derailed train. Ahoofe's case is different he has been on these issues for many years. You just started since the elections; and your writings are so sick we could do without you. Aaaba!!

Prince Ofosu Sefah | Toronto-Canada (Location: United States) | 1/7/2009 6:04:00 PM As some have dubbed her, Ekua the f**lish woman, please leave Ahoofe alone. You can only wish all your life that you had his job and write just as well as he does. I don't think his Ph. D. makes him a superior human being to anyone per se. He just is superior to you in the cogency of his arguments and the quality of his thoughts and writing. I agree that Dr. Ahoofe should tone down the way that he discusses critical tribal issues that should be discussed. However. Ekua, get this in your head, you are no match to Dr. Ahoofe and you are also the one that needs help. Dr. Ahoofe will win any contest between you and him among the readers hereon in terms who people agree with more.

wise | Germany- (Location: Germany) | 1/7/2009 6:12:00 PM Infact both of you are really sick. You claim to be a Fante woman and he being related to asante hene doesn´t help unity and the development that Ghana stants and Calling for.Let it de known to you guys that speaking and writting good english or a language has nothing to do with how intellegent one is. Please use ya chances given to you to preach for one people and one Ghana.

Josph Baiden | Dayton-Ohio (Location: United States) | 1/7/2009 8:48:00 PM This is just a simple advice to Kwame Ahoofe Okwampa.
Mr. Okwoampa or whatever your name is, let me inform you that in this day and age, people of high intellectual bakgrounds have ceased attaching their degrees to thier names. Others have mutiple degrees higher than you ,yet they don't show it. They equally post very good articles on the web. Please try and adjust this kind of primitive way of advertising yourself. You should include your degrees when sending your resume to the HR for a job. are you sure you live in the USA? If yes, then you should know better.

K Kontoh | London, UK- (Location: United Kingdom) | 1/7/2009 9:32:00 PM Ahoofe is a sensible scholar. His articles are full of wisdom and tangible arguments, unlike yours, that many of us read and constructively appraise immediately they are published. I can personally assure you that he has contributed positively by writing on many important issues that touch on core values. You have got the wrong end of the stick. These capricious views can only come from an individual with emotional instability. People of your calibre will dim the lights out of these pages and stop the flow of information which many of us have grown to rely on. Please take your tasteless canker away!

Ben Q | indianapolis-United States (Location: United States) | 1/8/2009 4:22:00 AM Ahoofe is f**ling id**t. people like him should die and burn in mutherf**ling hell. Go Ekua! I got your back.

Prince Ofosu Sefah | Toronto-Canada (Location: United States) | 1/8/2009 5:56:00 PM Ok.... I have to be honest that I feel debased and ashamed. I have called people names on this website. As the saying goes, "wo ne okraman edi agoro a otafre w'ano". I will discipline myself henceforth and not call any single person on this website names or insult them, even when they do that to me. I will defend myself without debasing myself. I will just stick with the power of (hopefully) my superior arguments. I am embarassed for myself and those hereon who use insults as intelligent tools.

Anyway, as I had said, Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe's arguments and writing skills are far superior to Ekua's. Yes, they are both partisan. However, Ekua is clearly no match for Kwame. Kwame does need to tone down and perhaps rework how he discusses critical tribal issues and I have already advised him as such. However, Ekua probably needs to stop writing on this site altogether. Instead, if I was a NDC folla on here, I will agitate for someone else more intellectually stimulating than Ekua.

And, BTW, Kojo, how come someone as educated as Ekua as you say it, write things like "affiliated to" instead of affiliated with and "hate filled" instead of hate-filled? And, these are just in the first paragraph of this article.

Also, if she is studying for all these degrees, where does she find time to gain practical work experience? Kwame, at least lectures smart NY students.

I do not personally measure good judgment and skills from a person's education level, although I believe that education can help immensely in improving one's skills and judgment. However, I question poor arguments and/or judgment wherever I see them. Ekua is full of bad judgment and poor arguments. That is the crux of the matter.

Afua in USA | USA- (Location: United States) | 1/8/2009 8:38:00 PM Ekua is getting out the boxing gloves.

Kofi Mawuli | Alajo,Accra-Ghana (Location: Ghana) | 3/22/2009 6:01:00 AM Dear, readers and contributors to this widely read news source. Let us use the best we have to get the rest we do not have.
Both writers are good. I don't mean to be judgmental, but irrespective of Dr Ahoofe's political inclination, he is an excellent writer. Put it 'Englishly' or academically, he is excellent. Everyone is equally good in his/her field.
I do not know why, but i wish i could write as he does. He is my mentor despite his politically motivated articles. This is my opinion, even though others will not agree with me.
Let peace prevail, and let mother Ghana be proud of us.
