I shall come to that in a moment. Since the dismissal of Sekou as a result of the very unfortunate interview he gave recently to the New African Magazine, I have read all sorts of nonsense from the NPP. First, it was John Ndegugre.
Draft:
WAA LOOK: MUST SEKOU NKRUMAH THANK KUFOUR?
Avoka mate
Sekou is right but he should be thankful to democracy being practised in modern Ghana, thanks to Kufuor. If it had been his father's time he would have been sleeping at Nsawam Prison. He should be grateful President Mills for peacefully releasing him of his post. He should ask his father's ghost what J. B. Danquah did and his father sent him to prison to die.
COMMENT
Whilst Kufour was a clear PNDC collaborator and Under-Secretary for Agriculture until he was dismissed by Rawlings, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah was the Regional Chairman of the Greater Accra Branch of the Movement for Freedom and Justice, the famous MFJ that spearheaded the struggle for the 4th Republican democratic order from the hands of a determined PNDC dictatorship. So it is grotesque to read: “be thankful to democracy being practised in modern Ghana, thanks to Kufuor.“ It is rather Kufour who has to thank Sekou, even for the very chance to be a president of Ghana.
As for J. B. Danquah, it is just a big pity he did not hang with the other co-conspirators who were involved in the ritual murder and a sordid human sacrifice crime in the early morning of Sunday, 27th February, 1944 at Kyebi. The plot to kill Nana Akyea Mensah was hatched in the evening of Saturday, 26th February, 1944, after a meeting involving all the principal players in the stool blackening ritual, ended in a confusion as they assembled for final preparations for the burial of the departed King. According to the case officer, ACP/Mr Nuamah, "the climax of the week-long funeral of the late Okyehene Nana Sir Ofori Atta I was set for Sunday, 27th February, 1944. The last rite marking the end of the funeral was the celebration of the WEREMPE custom, which was the act of blackening the stool of the late chief, formally making him "an ancestor in the line of kings."
The divisive issue was the question of which human being's blood was to be used for the ceremony. Present was the powerful Nana Akyea Mensah, Chief of Apedwa, and traditionally commander of the Okyehene's royal bodyguard. Nana Mensah quite clearly explained to his colleagues that times had changed. The colonial authorities at the Christianborg Castle in Osu had taken over the power of life and death from the chiefs. It was no longer possible for the chiefs to sit anywhere and condemn anybody – if they used any human blood in the ritual, the Gold Coast Police would arrest them.
This did not go down well with the Akyem fundamentalists who wanted human blood and considered Nana Akyea Mensah's intervention as an attack on their traditions and power. They opposed Nana Mensah. It must be recalled that since the return of Dr. J.B. Danquah from Britain with a Ph. D. degree in philosophy, precisely the period between 1927 and 1943, Danquah served as Ofori Atta s secretary, ambassador, and legal advisor (Attorney General). And that it was this position that gave rise to J.B. Danquah s political career. It was with his help that Ofori Atta instrumented the Native Administrative Ordinance of 1927. Naturally his advice would be sought in such a contentious issue, even if it were not for his conspicuous presence in town, also for the funeral.
J. B. Danquah, a member of the royal family and leading barister countered the authority of this "Kwaw Botwe" Krakyi (Akyea Mensah was not a lawyer, he completed his secondary education at Mfatsipim College as Emmanuel Ohemeng and and then worked as a clerk for the Akyem Abuawa State. The superior legal prowess of J.B. Daquah directed that the Akyem Abuakwa State was independent of the British Colonial rule, and the laws of Akyem Abuakwa State were not dependent upon British colonial law.
J.B Danquah encouraged and assured legal protection to the conspirators: Asare Apietu, Kwame Kagya, Kwaku Amoako Atta, Kwadwo Amoako, Kwasi Pipim, Opoku Ahwenee, A. E. B. Danquah and Owusu Akyem-Tenteng who were later found guilty of ritually killing Nana Akyea Mensah, and sentenced to death by hanging on the neck until declared dead.
An unexplained phenomenon was that after weeks of a blanket of silence as to the whereabouts of the disappeared chief, the culprits started recounting their own macabre story one after the other, in what they claimed to be under the compelling demands of the ghost of Nana Akyea Mensah, the Odikro. The ghost apparently did not rest until all those directly involved with the murder had been brought to justice, before he turned his attention to the accessories. There are reports that Danquah was often haunted by the ghost, and must have been killed by Nana Akyea Mensah s ghost. This, to me, does not contradict the autopsy accounts of heart attack, since an intense fear of a determined Akyea Mensah could not have produced anything less.
It was Danquah fighting his own devils in his own mind that finally proved his undoing. Danquah is not the only hard-core criminal to have died in prison for absolutely natural causes. It reveals a special form of radical stupidity to ask the descendants of law-enforcers and politicians to consult the ghosts of their relations who were around each time a criminal dies prison.

Must Sekou Nkrumah Also Thank Kufour?
I would be damned to expect my grandson to pull a surprise and break this annoying monotony just for a change! The other day, I had a good laugh as he went blowing his Danquah horns at my good friend, Dr. Arthur Kobina Kennedy. Even though Dr. Kennedy is also a member of the Governing Board of the Danquah Institute. In what he described as Okoampa's "misguided effusions", Dr. Kennedy wrote: "Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe has an unfortunate tendency to see many things around him in the context of his family and his tribe... Unlike Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe, I believe that in the modern Ghana that we seek to build, each and every one of us must be judged, not by the deeds of some illustrious ancestors but on our own merit... I urge Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe to mind his language. His disagreeable pieces do not serve the causes and the people he supports well. It is the misguided effusions of people like him that tend to give credence to the unfair pejorative appellation of members of his esteemed family as the “Kyebi Mafia”. As Ghanaian patriots, let us disagree if we must but let us do so with courtesy."'(Re: Arthur Kennedy is being sexist and petty, by Arthur Kobina Kennedy, Dr. Feature Article | Monday, 10 May 2010).
Since the dismissal of Sekou as a result of the very unfortunate interview he gave recently to the New African Magazine, I have read all sorts of nonsense from the NPP. First, it was John Ndegugri. who publicly called on Sekou ”to take a bold decision and join the NPP, which he described as a more liberal party which is receptive to criticisms from all people.” (See: Sekou Should Join The NPP - Ndebugri, Date: 17-Jul-2010). As for Ndebugri, he has his own tribulations, and as a friend of Vladmir, his son, I shall leave the reader to make his own opinions.
Yet another trash that I read on this was a comment by one ”Avoka mate” who said: ”Sekou is right but he should be thankful to democracy being practised in modern Ghana, thanks to Kufuor. If it had been his father's time he would have been sleeping at Nsawam Prison. He should be grateful President Mills for peacefully releasing him of his post. He should ask his father's ghost what J. B. Danquah did and his father sent him to prison to die.” The reason why I have bothered to repeat this is because I believe it is far more better, however silly it is in its own right, than the entire article by this callow professor of yellow journalism.
Okoampa wants to take from Kwame Nkrumah what even the CIA-inspired coup of 1966 could not do. He writes: 'In such an atmosphere of convenient dishonesty, myth has been permitted to trump the truth of history, with the first premier of sovereign Ghana being mendaciously and deviously and superficially cast as the “epic liberator” of Ghana and continental Africa as a whole.' Just after this he proceeds to lie: ”Nonetheless, even as Mr. J. A. Braimah, a staunch and influential CPP operative, had occasion to painfully opine in the wake of the summary imprisonment and the deliberately induced death/assassination of Dr. J. B. Danquah, it very well appears as if the British colonial administration was far more interested in upholding and preserving the human and civil rights of their erstwhile Gold Coast colonial subjects than the Convention People’s Party under President Kwame Nkrumah.”
Those of us who do not only know the immediate cause of Danquah's death as heart attack, but also aware that this was occasioned by his own hallucinations of seeing the ghost of Nana Akyea Mensah, find it very difficult where to begin to debunk this kind of nonsense. It is a bit ironic to read from Okoampa praising the human rights records of the colonialists over and above that of the Nkrumah regime. I wonder what he would have said if Danquah had been hanged together with the co-conspirators who were involved in the ritual murder of Nana Akyea Mensah, the Odikro of Apedwa in 1944.
Indeed, it is just a big pity that J.B. Danquah did not hang with the other co-conspirators who were involved in the ritual murder and a sordid human sacrifice crime in the early morning of Sunday, 27th February, 1944 at Kyebi. It would have made our history very simple and spared us of the kind of nonsense Kawma Okoampa is so fond of writing. Danquah was a brain behind the ritual murder of Nana Akyea Mensah. The plot to kill Nana Akyea Mensah was hatched in the evening of Saturday, 26th February, 1944, after a meeting involving all the principal players in the stool blackening ritual, ended in a confusion as they assembled for final preparations for the burial of the departed King.

And for Okoampa to raise this issue with Sekou is therefore extremely grosteque, particularly considering the simple fact that Dr. Sekou Nkrumah has already paid his full citizenship dues as a civil society leader who fought and won with other Ghanaian freedom fighters, the current constitutional dispensation we are all enjoying to day.
Whilst Kufour was a clear PNDC collaborator and Under-Secretary for Agriculture until he was dismissed by Rawlings, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah was the Regional Chairman of the Greater Accra Branch of the Movement for Freedom and Justice, the famous MFJ that spearheaded the struggle for the 4th Republican democratic order from the hands of a determined PNDC dictatorship. So it is grotesque to read: “be thankful to democracy being practised in modern Ghana, thanks to Kufuor.“ It is rather Kufour who has to thank Sekou, even for the very chance to be a president of Ghana.
As for Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., his own confessions about his behaviour under the PNDC dictatorship smacks of such cowardice that I am even disgusted by the tenor of his article. "Those of us with a lode of fiery conscience would be utterly disgusted and feel unpardonably violated, but we would sport a poker-face demeanor, lest we be promptly branded as "Enemies of the Revolution" and find our very existence to be at risk.... Nobody then either bickered or griped about the "biased reportage" of The People's Daily Graphic. George Orwell (a.k.a. Eric Blair) had eloquently and poignantly taught us to be nimble for the sake of being able to keep our heads on our shoulders with his literary classic Animal Farm...Those were the days when many of my most intimate classmates called me Togbui Sri II; it was a sort of ethnic camouflage. And as you can vividly see, dear reader, such ethnic camouflage perfectly served its primary objective: it would enable me to live out those lunatic days of Ghana's "Tribal Imperialism" in order to document Flt.-Lt. Yor-ke-Garri's "Housecleaning Exercise" for the benefit of my children, compatriots and posterity." by Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Ph.D., Feature Article | Mon, 06 Oct 2008.
I would thus like to conclude by calling on Okoampa to show Sekou some respect. He did not go and hide under his mother's bed and changed his name to Togbe Sri. As Mr. Ali Masmadi Jehu-Appiah puts it, 'One would have thought that considering the extra-ordinarily large size of your mouth, coupled with what you call your "lode of fiery conscience", you would have walked your talk with the courage of your convictions, like many ordinary Ghanaians did with just a pair of balls, instead of sporting "a poker-face demeanor" as Ghanaian judges were being butchered!' (Kwame Okoampa Is A Charlatan! by Ali-Masmadi JEHU-APPIAH) Sekou did not put on a poker face demeanour during the period of the PNDC misrule. He spoke out, as he is doing now, and whether what he says is right or wrong, that is another matter. What we dont need is every time he opens his mouth we have any Tom, Dick, and a Togbe Sri of an Okoampa making ugly noises!
Really? Is this an indication of your genetic affinity with ostriches or one of a strange belief that somehow one could cover his face with a very big mouth to camouflage his identity? I really feel duty bound to react to the disgusting circus you have been pulling off on the electronic media from the cosy comforts of New York. This is because of the sickening premise behind most of the diatribes you have been churning out ever since the coast became clear for empty barrels like yours to pass by, completely clueless, as usual, about the simple fact that the more noise they make, the more they succeed in exposing their own existential emptiiness, moral void, intellectual bankruptcy, and spiritual atrophy.
I think that in my own time I must have met many a Togbui Sri II, clearly identifiable by the absence of ordinary testicles. These were the people who usually would read and quickly hand over back to me the anti-PNDC tracts that we used to distribute in those days. They were also identifiable by an inconsolable and obscurantic fear in the eyes whenever the name of Rawlings was mentioned in a conversation. With experience, I discovered also that you saved a lot of time when you listened to the early-warning signals of the "Togbui Sris" of this world, and to move on to look for the real men with the real balls in order to help in dealing effectively with the PNDC dictatorship.

Comment: "DESIRED EFFECT" NOT "[DESIRE] EFFECT"
Read Article
Author: Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro.
Sarpong,
I am highly disappointed and extremely disgusted by the standards your article bear. First of all, after all these years of correcting other peoples English with your struggling grammar, you still have not found it fit to do justice to your own.
Your article contains blunders that even JSS students could spot without effort. I am going to give you a home work. I shall roll the stuff, paragraph by paragraph. Here is your first paragraph. Can you point out why I have put the following into the brackets? Also whilst you are at it, can would you kindly translate the following Sarponglish into English?
"Ghanaians should count the [four years] rule of President Mills whose eye and hearing [vestigials] are hampering [his rule] as lost years. Lost years because this administration cannot even turn [a good economic news] to its advantage. This administration [tantivy] about the single digit inflation achievement is not even bringing the [desire] effect of lower interest rates to spur economic growth. Naturally, a lower inflation in the economy will lead to a brisk economic activity because the [central Bank], or in the case of Ghana, Bank of Ghana will lower its prime rate to the [commercial Banks] who in turn will do a brisk business of lending to its customers but somewhere along the line of chain of events supposed to happen, [there is yaw.]" (Paragraph One of Feature Article of Monday, 26 July 2010, Columnist: Sarpong, Justice, Mills Is Messing The Economy Up, He should Resign.)

Mills Is Messing The Economy Up, He should Resign.Sarpong,
I am highly disappointed and extremely disgusted by the standards your article bear. First of all, after all these years of correcting other peoples English with your struggling grammar, you still have not found it fit to do justice to your own.
Your article contains blunders that even JSS students could spot without effort. I am going to give you a home work. I shall roll the stuff, paragraph by paragraph. Here is your first paragraph. Can you point out why I have put the following into the brackets? Also whilst you are at it, can would you kindly translate the following Sarponglish into English?
"Ghanaians should count the [four years] rule of President Mills whose eye and hearing [vestigials] are hampering [his rule] as lost years. Lost years because this administration cannot even turn [a good economic news] to its advantage. This administration [tantivy] about the single digit inflation achievement is not even bringing the [desire] effect of lower interest rates to spur economic growth. Naturally, a lower inflation in the economy will lead to a brisk economic activity because the [central Bank], or in the case of Ghana, Bank of Ghana will lower its prime rate to the [commercial Banks] who in turn will do a brisk business of lending to its customers but somewhere along the line of chain of events supposed to happen, [there is yaw.]" (Paragraph One of Feature Article of Monday, 26 July 2010, Columnist: Sarpong, Justice, Mills Is Messing The Economy Up, He should Resign.)

Mills Is Messing The Economy Up, He should Resign.

Mills Is Messing The Economy Up, He should Resign.
By Sarpong, Justice
Ghanaians should count the [four years] rule of President Mills whose eye and hearing [vestigials] are hampering [his rule] as lost years. Lost years because this administration cannot even turn [a good economic news] to its advantage. This administration [tantivy] about the single digit inflation achievement is not even bringing the [desire] effect of lower interest rates to spur economic growth. Naturally, a lower inflation in the economy will lead to a brisk economic activity because the [central Bank], or in the case of Ghana, Bank of Ghana will lower its prime rate to the [commercial Banks] who in turn will do a brisk business of lending to its customers but somewhere along the line of chain of events supposed to happen, [there is yaw.]
Why is President Mills telling the [commercial Banks] to reduce the current high interest rates? Isn't that supposed to happen naturally? Banks are in the business of making money and they do that by lending to its customers and charging interest on the money they lend, that is how the [Banks] make most of their money, so if inflation has gone down to single digits, Bank of Ghana has reduced its prime rate to the Banks from 15% to 13.5%, why do we need the President to beg the Banks to reduce its interest rates and lend to Ghanaians? The Banks make most of their money through lending so why do we need the President to tell them to do something that should come naturally to them?
"Accra, July 20, GNA - President John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday, appealed to managements of the nation's banks to reduce the current high interest rates. He said now that the economy was improving, with a further decline in the Bank of Ghana base rate, the banking sector could be of more help to local industries with a reduction of the interest rates to sustain industries and help them to grow.The Central Bank, last week announced a reduction in the base rate from 15 per cent to 13.5 per cent"
Fellow citizens, let me tell you why this is an NDC propaganda to flummox and adumbrate the uninitiated minds of its sycophantic NDC factotums and peons. Bank of Ghana has no money to lend to the Commercial Banks who can turn around and lend to its customers but Ghanaians believe because the Finance Minister and the Governor of Bank of Ghana are trumpeting their lower inflation and reduction in prime rate, the commercial Banks are now fraught with cash to lend, that is not true. The reduction of prime rate has no effect on the economy if Bank of Ghana is not lending to the commercial banks and it is not doing that due to lack of funds.
Mr Amissah-Arthur, the Governor of Bank of Ghana has this to say about the economy when he met the press to enumerate the economic conditions in Ghana;
"He said the credit conditions survey conducted by BoG in June 2010 showed a general net tightening of credit to small and medium sized enterprises. "Loans to small and medium sized enterprises and households were however tightened through increases in margin for riskier loans and security and collateral requirements."
So if everything in the economy is hunky dory, why are the Banks tightening their lending policies? Are we not supposed to have an increase in money supply in the economy to spur economic growth? Why is the country's GDP going down while inflation is going down? GDP is not supposed to go down in an economy that is having lower inflation if this so called single inflation was achieved with the right economic policies but when this [goverment] restricts money supply by putting a freeze on hiring new employees (THANKS TO IMF SHACKLES ON THIS GOVERNMENT), failing to pay workers for long period of times, restricting oil importation, yes, you are going to have lower inflation as there is few money chasing more goods and traders are forced to reduce prices.
Our GDP that was increased from 3.8 billion to 17.3 billion in 8 years and inflation was cut from 45% to 12% in 2007, by NPP business was booming then because banks were lending to people unlike now when even people with good credit histories are being turned away by their own banks.
Within 18 months of this administration, our GDP has gone down from 17.3 billion to 14.8 billion. Our total public debt stock stood at US$9,202.94 million (61.7 percent of GDP) at the end of December 2009 up from US$7,918.1million (54.6 percent of GDP) at the end of December 2008 and breaching the prudent ceiling for the total debt stock of 60.0 percent of GDP set in the 2007 budget. Have we not been bombarded by the sanctimonious NDC team "B" ministers about how this government has been paying the debt left behind by Kuffour's NPP administratuin so how come our debt has gone up from 7.9 billion at the end of NPP administration to 9.2 billion at the end of 2009? So just one year of this NDC adminstration, more than 1.3 billion debt was added to our debt which was supposedly being paid by this government. Mills and his schoolboys ministers have been lying to us about our debt situation.
The same week that Mills and his team "B" ministers were pontificating and sermonizing their lower inflation figure, Ghana statistical services (GSS) brought out some very worrying figures which confirmed that Ghanaians have gotten poorer. Per capita income was $654.80 in 2007. It moved up impressively to $713.33 in 2008. By the end of 2009, per capita income had fallen to $659.21. Which means that every Ghanaian was on an average $54.12 worse off last year than they were in 2008. Now do you understand why our GDP has gone down from 17.3 billion to 14.8 billion? This government is like Dr Kervokian killing the economy swiftly by prescribing death medicine instead of cure medicine to the economy.
President Mills is not up to the job and should resign immediately and turn over this administration to Vice-President Mahama, who has already been tarnished by the STX boondoggle contract he and his brothers, Bagbin and Abongo signed with the Korean government after accepting cameras , watches and a slew of Asian gesha women.

Rawlings Is Looking For Accomodation, Will You Rent To Him?
Feature Article of Friday, 9 July 2010
Columnist: Sarpong, Justice
Rawlings Is Looking For Accomodation, Will You Rent To Him?
It is a little banal, but I guess they deserve all the charge they can get, enough for them the get the message clear, that they have their heads close to the clouds surrounding the Sugarcandy Mountains. I do not grudge them for having illusions about themselves. My very profound distress about their level of confidence, sense of moral uprightness, providing democracy and the respect for human rights. As they wax rhetoric on their achievements, those of us who know better, are painfully reminded by this impudence, the way the PNDC and their agents covered every square inch of their disgusting arses before handing over.In fact, in plain everyday language, we were very lucky as a nation that the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, did not bolt away with all our money, gold deposits, or whatever national asset he could lay his hands on, as often happens in other places when dictators are fleeing from their palaces and out of the country. There could have legally been nothing that anyone could do to bring such a thief to justice, because the Rawlings indemnity clauses in the Transitional Provisions of the 1992 4th Republican Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, say so. We were lucky that the ministers did not decide to physically eliminate people they did not want to see alive. They could have legally gotten away with it. Any way, so far, I have been imagining the scenarios. I wish to apologize to all the victims of the bloody PNDC dictatorship for this gross indiscretion and insensitivity. I did so not for the want of examples, but explain how nonsensical and intrinsically evil nature of the Indemnity Clauses are.
If our history is not teaching the appropriate lessons, then it means there is something wrong with us. As a people, we do not like thieves, and the lessons we give to thieves all over the country when they are caught are not of the types that encourage stealing, as they seek to convince future thieves to be ware of the fate awaiting them when caught. With the Rawlingses, it looks as though our history is teaching the wrong lessons. The Nkrumah era was marked by remarkable political tension and violence in the country which led to the passage of the Preventive Detention Act, 1956. Naturally, as one listens to the perceived pains of the victims, it was a very sad and sorry part of our history that we must all come to terms with and move forward.
As if that were not enough, Ghanaians have been treated to all sorts of stupid ideas and experiments that met the fancy of a very well-known dull individual whose academic records demonstrate a consistent pattern of a real dunce. Under gun-point, the people of Ghana had to live under his whims and caprices for almost two decades. Within these two decades, they recorded the most barbaric and insanely brutal repression ever known in our history. To add insults unto injuries, having conducted their military campaign under the slogans of probity and accountability, the only activity they reserved for that was the arrest and torture of those who demand of them the same standards of probity and accountability. And to eternally silence the tax payer on whose sweat they base their arrogance, and so that their victims shall never have a right to seek justice, they introduced the indemnity clauses into the constitution of Ghana.
It is already difficult enough to live with the thought that a gang of people could just take arms, just like regular armed robbers do, except that, this time around, they want to take the entire destiny of the nation exclusively in their hands and no one can say a thing without facing revolutionary consequences. These thieves had a vocabulary that they could conveniently use to kill, main, beat and torture countless number of innocent citizens. They have made sure they would not be punished for any of their crimes. The least one could have expected of them would have been a respectable distance from the seat of power. I am slowly transforming all the sentiments that passed through me when it became apparent that the Rawlings so-called impatience with the Mills Administration and extremely damaging criticism were not only as non-constructive as we thought them to be right from the beginning, but in addition to that, it was also opportunistic. This is the most opportunistic phase of her campaign. It stinks to the high heavens, so much so that even Nana Konadu herself seems embarrassed by her own campaign. She hails the black stars like a front runner in a race, she is making statements traditionally reserved for Rawlings the man of the house. Even on the blog of her husband, she seems to drown him with almost all the latest posts exclusively dedicated to her. Yet, these little political never-do-wells have been careful to hide their real intentions from the public right from the very beginning. She seems even ashamed to admit the fact that, she also wants to become a president.
Ghanaians are peace-loving and a forgiving population. That does not mean they are the kind of fools that the Rawlingses seem to think they can take for a ride at will. There are limits to everything. Nana Konadu has the right to present her candidacy. So do the people also have the right to find out whether or not she was an accomplice to the murder of the three high court judges, and does the role she played in this affair qualify her for the high office of the president?
Finally, I know you would be disappointed if I do not comment upon the remarkable improvement in your writing since I took you to task. This, notwithstanding, you still have a long way to go. I am here to help you out. The first thing you need to learn is the ability to acknowledge your bullets and excuse yourself for it. It makes you human, it does not make you a fool. You make a fool of yourself when you beat about the bush instead of dealing with your real and present bullets. People see all that, and I am here to underline them. You have a role that is yours to play in this unfolding drama of exposing a charlatan.

FULL TEXT CORRECTION:
I was shocked to read the [below newsreel] at Peacefm.com. The Rawlingses are looking for a place to rent. Not for office space but a place to lay down their heads. Fellow Ghanaians, our former President is a pauper now and for the [intergrity] of our country, nobody would like to see the 'lovey-dovey' Nana Konadu Agyeman and Dr. Flt. Lt. Rawlings making the overhead bridge underpass their home, so [let find] a nice mansion and rent it to them.
Below is how NANA Macbeth Konadu advertised her rental request.
"Mr. & Mrs Rawlings: We Are Looking For A Place To Rent
Date: 07-Jul-2010
Any landlord or lady with a decent accommodation in Accra may have to contact Ghana’s former first family; the Rawlingses, who are in desperate need for a new residential facility. Former First lady Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on Wednesday July 7, made the shocking revelation that she and her husband are looking for a decent home to rent and live in. "
Sarps, did you say rent it to them? What is their rental history? Ok, let me think. Since the age of twenty two, the two lovebirds have been perching and mooching on Ghanaian taxpayers. They have a long history of living rent free and not paying anything since Dr Flt. Lt Rawlings embarked on his armed robbery he called a revolution in 1979.NO RENTAL HISTORY. MOOCHERS.
Sarps, do they have any credit history? Yes they do. They have educated four beautiful children by taking a bank loan and paying for it. Hold on a second, I think the computer is giving me the wrong information, that is the history of ex-President Kuffour. Those Rawlings four children education were rather paid for by Rawlings phantom friend. What about the 5 million dollar loan from former Nigeria President Abacha? He didn't pay it back either. NO CREDIT HISTORY HERE. MOOCHER
What about mortgage payment? Hmmmmmmmm, they have houses at Sogakope, Akosombo, East Legon and Tema, those are the ones we know and [owns] more than half of La Palm Beach Hotel in Accra so they might have a good history of mortgage payment. Oh noooooo, those houses were built on cash basis so no credit history here. What about the La Palm Beach hotel? I bet they financed their part of ownership of that hotel? NOPE, the records show they and their partner took this hotel which used to be a state hotel free without paying for it. BAD CREDIT HISTORY ON MORTGAGE PAYMENT.
What about car payment? Bad credit history here too. They took fifteen cars in 2001 without paying a dime for them. The last government house they lived in burnt down under mysterious circumstances. The two have a history with fire. Rawlings admitted killing Yeyeboy and some fetish Priests in Volta region and burning the bodies to hide evidence.
Three Judges and an Army officer were kidnapped [in] Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings car and they were murdered and their bodies set on fire. Sarps, are you saying they are arsonists? LET THE HISTORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. Fellow Ghanaians, who is courageous enough to rent to this man and his lady Macbeth wife?

Feature Article of Monday, 9 November 2009,
As soon as I saw the title to the article, my immediate reaction was, "Wow! This must definitely be Sarpong!" I quickly scrolled down to see the author, and lo and behold, it was your truly!This is the first time I have seen a bullet heading a published article since I was born! The attempt to correct the error even makes it worse since there are other errors, it is safe to assume that the idiot considers those as being correct!

Comment to:
AKADU IS RIGHT.
Hi Sarpong,
I think in principle you are very right. The Rawlingses are looking for money to finance their campaign machinery, and the 31st December Women's Movement is central to that, given that it is the president of that movement that is gunning to run for office and not her husband. What more can one ask for? That the amount be paid into her personal accounts before she can have access to the cash to fuel her campaign? Is someone trying to tickle my legs here?
I agree with you one hundred per cent. I guess there are more things that may unite us than divide us. Currently, I await apologies for your insults to my person otherwise I keep my part of the bargain: Publish an e-book with all the references to One Thousand online bullets by Justice Sarpong, the Akurasi krakye based in Texas.
You may begin a new chapter by putting an end to calling people "illiterate idiots".
Bullet Certificate Number #147-149
FOR AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S ENGLISH IN THIS FORUM WITH YOUR STRUGGLING GRAMMAR, YOU MUST BE READY FOR THIS!
You have been caught red-handed issuing bullets, and in the absence of any apologies from you, I continue with my sporadic harvesting of your bullets until I reach 1000:
"HOW DO YOU ASCERTAIN THE VERACITY OF THE OPERATIONS OF 31ST DWM WHEN THE RAWLINGS KEEP THE RECORD IN THEIR [SAVE DEPOSIT #147] BOX? akadu is not casting aspersions but expressing the frustrations of many ghanaians when it comes to the [rawlingses who seems #148] to have [a different laws #149] specially made for them because of the stupidity of some Ghanaians who will defend these thieves no matter what the evidence is."
Cheers!

Comment to:
AKADU IS RIGHT.
Hi Sarpong,
I think in principle you are very right. The Rawlingses are looking for money to finance their campaign machinery, and the 31st December Women's Movement is central to that, given that it is the president of that movement that is gunning to run for office and not her husband. What more can one ask for? That the amount be paid into her personal accounts before she can have access to the cash to fuel her campaign? Is someone trying to tickle my legs here?
I agree with you one hundred per cent. I guess there are more things that may unite us than divide us. Currently, I await apologies for your insults to my person otherwise I keep my part of the bargain: Publish an e-book with all the references to One Thousand online bullets by Justice Sarpong, the Akurasi krakye based in Texas.
You may begin a new chapter by putting an end to calling people "illiterate idiots".
Bullet Certificate Number #147-149
FOR AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S ENGLISH IN THIS FORUM WITH YOUR STRUGGLING GRAMMAR, YOU MUST BE READY FOR THIS!
You have been caught red-handed issuing bullets, and in the absence of any apologies from you, I continue with my sporadic harvesting of your bullets until I reach 1000:
"HOW DO YOU ASCERTAIN THE VERACITY OF THE OPERATIONS OF 31ST DWM WHEN THE RAWLINGS KEEP THE RECORD IN THEIR [SAVE DEPOSIT #147] BOX? akadu is not casting aspersions but expressing the frustrations of many ghanaians when it comes to the [rawlingses who seems #148] to have [a different laws #149] specially made for them because of the stupidity of some Ghanaians who will defend these thieves no matter what the evidence is."
Cheers!

WAA LOOK, VERY FRESH BULLETS
Sarpong, I know I am being hard on you, and I like it very much because you deserve it. The good part of this is that there has been a huge improvement in your writings. I have to admit this. You still have a long way to go, though. I want to let others know what I know and you know to be a fact: you are a charlatan.
Each time this charlatan writes bullets flow waa waaa like water. He claims an MBA and what he calls, a "selective" in Economics. Look at the mess of an argument and tell me if you can believe this. Even in the apio bars, poor Ghanaian illiterates under the influence of alcohol, in addition to old age and family troubles, argue more intelligently than this. The article is also revealingly spiced by a painful array of grammatical weaknesses of the author, which do not seem to go away no matter how hard he tries. In order to hide this handicap and a panic reaction at damage control, as a result of any exposure, he would rather go into archives and a doomed attempt to resurrect extraneous issues to cover up his shame. I never give up as I keep pointing out new ones and very demonstrably fresh, and on this very same page for all to see:
"the two parties [is] assumed to benefit"

HOMEWORK:

I shall cool it down for you a little bit if you humbly acknowledge these bullets, as all normal scholars do when they slip and not behave like the thug that you are. You are nothing but a thug, that is not welcome here, and that is what I want to expose. Please come and confirm what I have just said, or prove me wrong, before you dare to comment again on the contributions of people you disagree with, under the yoke of your struggling grammar.
Sincerely,

NDC is bent on selling our future to the Korean STX conglomerate by mortgaging our oil revenue as a guarantee to secure loans for STX ship building company WHOSE EXPERIENCE IN HOMEBUILDING is not impressive and putative and it [had] closed its mind to listen to anybody in Ghana because it has a vested [interest this] contract, it is doing all it can to see that, it goes through.
In any contract negotiations, the two parties [is] assumed to benefit by bringing something to the table, what is Korea STX bringing to the table? EXPERTISE? They are not bringing any financing because the government of Ghana is guaranteeing the 10 billion dollars loan with our oil revenue for the next twenty years. Can't we guarantee this loan for our local companies to undertake this project? We are giving STX free land, tax free material purchases that [is] coming from Korea and 100% repatriation of its profit.
STX is also going to bring a lot of unemployed Koreans, both Professionals and casual laborers to undertake this project depriving Ghanaians thousands of jobs that could have helped to reduce our unemployment figures. The Koreans have appropriated to themselves 40% of all jobs going to be created by this project.
One has to ask himself or herself, why is the Korean government so interested in trying to secure this project for a private STX company that is cash strapped? This is because this contract helps the Korean economy more than it does for our economy. We've seen the Vice President of Korea and other government officials from Korea [trouping] in and out of Ghana meeting NDC officials to 'consumate' this contract before Parliament even [debate] on it.
If the government of Ghana has to pledge 10 billion dollars to secure a loan for a Korean company that is going to buy 100% of the materials needed to do this project without paying any tax and then repatriate 100% of its income back to Korea without being taxed, then why is the [goverment] not using its oil clout to secure this loan for local real estate companies to undertake this project instead of the Korean STX? Are the Koreans better in building houses for Ghanaians than our own real estate companies?
What is in this contract for NDC that the government is not listening to the electorate? This contract is going to be approved by the majority NDC members in Parliament and the only option left for Ghanaians is to have a massive demonstration against this contract and the opposition members in Parliament boycotting Parliament to deny NDC the quorum needed to debate on this contract.

Praise The Blackstars And Stop The Blame Game.
Feature Article of Sunday, 4 July 2010, Columnist: Sarpong, Justice
I wrote under your article published today: I do agree with you! Every true supporter of the Black Stars must justify that support by not resorting to negative comments against a team we shall soon be supporting again to go even higher still! The quality of our support for the Black Stars must not only be limited to when they are winning! They are the only team we have! They got to where they are today because they are the best that we have! Just us we must support our injured players, this is the time that they need our support the most because they are so OBVIOUSLY EMOTIONALLY INJURED! It is up to us who want them to go further to "solid-arise" in times of great difficulty like such a painful defeat and support the Black Stars to rise to the occasion the next time.
That said, out of respect to the Black Stars, and the fact that this particular article is generally well-written, I shall refrain from publicly harvesting your bullets for everyone to see under your article. If you want to improve upon your writing you may come to THE SARPONGLISH at Blog: /sarponglish.blogspot.com/. Sincerely, THE SARPONGLISH, Blog: /sarponglish.blogspot.com/"
As promised, here are some corrections in the said article:
Our elimination from the world cup [had] traumatized some Ghanaians, some of whom are soo out of it, they've lost their speech while others who still have their vocal chords have resorted to [monday] quaterbacking as usual. Asamoah Gyan, who until he missed the penalty on Friday had propelled us to the quarter final stage with his miraculous left footed goal against USA is now the goat to our fanatic soccer supporters. Gyan, hold your head high, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You did your best for your country and the nation owes you a rolodex of praises.
As usual with human nature, we are finding it hard to accept this defeat and I do understand it because of the cruel nature it happened. The refree should have awarded a goal instead of the penalty because the ball seems to have crossed the goal line or the deliberate nature Suarez handled the ball by becoming a goalkeeper should have been punished with a goal and a red card, he got his red card but we didn't get a sure bet goal. VICTORY WAS SNATCHED FROM US BY THIS URUGUAYIAN BAD BOY SUAREZ.
Having said this, [let refrain] from blaming any Blackstar player because they did their best and if any supporter thinks he or she is having the feeling of emptiness, guess how Asamoah Gyan and his team mates are feeling. Nobody is hurting more than these players and we should stop this blame game and rather rally around our gallant youngmen for a yeoman job they did on South Africa soccer fields.
At the time of writing this short article, more than 925 comments have been posted on "GHANA Is Out" on Ghanaweb and some players are being castigated and blamed for our defeat, that should stop. This team played as the word team is defined and lost as a team. I was really happy to see Captain John Mensah consoling Asamoah Gyan and encouraging him to hold his head high despite the missed penalty. The team itself is not pointing fingers and we the supporters should not do that [either].
It was heart wrenching to see Asamoah Gyan lying prostrated on the field and crying like a baby. Who can forget the tears freely flowing from the eyes of Painstil? Some supporters are blaming some players of being selfish and making stupid decisions on the field. We should not forget that, some of these Players are in their early twenties and have to make decisions on the field within seconds and therefore mistakes were bound to happen. They made some mistakes and good decisions were mostly made by our players to go this far in the tournament.
Our Blackstars did as well as they could with the players we [have having] lost our most talented player in Essien and some players playing with injuries. OUR GALLANT YOUNG MEN, HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH, YOU MADE YOUR COUNTRY PROUD AND THERE IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR THIS SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY.

Hi Sarpong,
Sarpong,
You asked for it and so I am going to give it to you!
I ISSUE A TECHNICAL KNOCK-OUT ON THE BASIS OF "WRONG SERVICE!"
REASON:
what you are insisting to be wrong is very much right!
You ONLY see it wrong out of genuine IGNORANCE. Never try to challenge me again when Nana Akyea Mensah insists! I have been insisting all this while that it is right and yet you keep on posting the same thing! This time, I am not going to spare you at all!
I shall take the time to teach you the English you obviously do not know just to have my peace of mind.
DIAGNOSTICS OF YOUR PROBLEM
Comment: "Such as the one you mention"
Author: SARPONG
Date: 2009-11-03 08:07:45
FIRST, YOU NEED TO HELP YOURSELF. YOU COULDN'T CORRECT A GLARING MISTAKE JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO AND NOW YOU ARE A TEACHER, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I CAN CORRECT MY MISTAKES IN JUST ONE CHANCE, HOW MANY CHANCES DO YOU NEED TO CORRECT MENTION?
Sarpong says:
"Go and learn past and present tenses, ok? It's "mentioned" not mention.
Comparing a natural disaster of a crisis such as the one you mention at Bawku to a tro tro in Ghana, requires alot of imagination.
SHOULD RATHER READ:
Comparing a natural disaster or a crisis such as the one you mention at Bawku to a tro tro in Ghana, requires alot of imagination.
IS THAT THE CORRECTION, IDIOT?
"such as the one you [mention]"?
YOU ARE A DISGRACE."
Now Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to focus on the operational sentence:
""Go and learn past and present tenses, ok? It's "mentioned" not mention."
In my diagnosis of his problem, it is clear that Sarpong has never ever heard of the use of the HISTORICAL PRESENT TENSE!
HERE IS AN EXPLANATION FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"In linguistics and rhetoric, the historical present (sometimes dramatic present) refers to the employment of the present tense when narrating past events. Besides its use in writing about history, especially in historical chronicles (listing a series of events), it is used in fiction, for 'hot news' (as in headlines), and in everyday conversation (Huddleston & Pullum 2002: 129-131). In conversation, it is particularly common with 'verbs of communication' such as tell, write, and say (and in colloquial uses, go) (Leech 2002: 7).
Literary critics and grammarians have said that the historical present has the effect of making past events more vivid. More recently, analysts of its use in conversation have argued that it functions, not by making an event present, but by marking segments of a narrative, foregrounding events (that is, signalling that one event is particularly important, relevant to others) and marking a shift to evaluation (Brinton 1992: 221).
Examples
Following is an excerpt from Dickens' David Copperfield, in which we can see the shift from the past tense to the historical present gives the sense of immediacy, as of a recurring vision:
“ If the funeral had been yesterday, I could not recollect it better. The very air of the best parlour, when I went in at the door, the bright condition of the fire, the shining of the wine in the decanters, the patterns of the glasses and plates, the faint sweet smell of cake, the odour of Miss Murdstone’s dress, and our black clothes. Mr. Chillip is in the room, and comes to speak to me.
'And how is Master David?' he says, kindly.
I cannot tell him very well. I give him my hand, which he holds in his. (Chapter IX)”
Examples of its use by historians are often found in the weekly BBC programme with Melvyn Bragg, In Our Time, and some listeners have complained about its use as confusing or affected:
“I don't understand why historians on In Our Time speak of past events in what sounds to me like a form of the present tense, for example: "Aristotle thinks that reason isn't located in space and time". Does anyone else find this annoying ? What's wrong with "Aristotle thought that reason wasn't located in space and time" ? What am I missing ? They all do it every week.
READ ANOTHER EXPLANATION HERE:
By Richard Nordquist, About.com
Definition: HISTORIC PRESENT
The use of a verb phrase in the present tense to refer to an event that took place in the past. In narratives, the historic present may be used to create an effect of immediacy. See also: The Historic Present in Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt.
Examples and Observations:
* "A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks, 'Hey, why the long face?'"
* "Verbs in the 'historic present' describe something that happened in the past. The present tense is used because the facts are listed as a summary, and the present tense provides a sense of urgency. This historic present tense is also found in news bulletins. The announcer may say at the start, 'Fire hits a city centre building, the government defends the new minister, and in football City United lose.'"
("Language Notes," BBC World Service)
* "Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end."
(Ray Davies, "Mr. Churchill Says," Arthur, by the Kinks, 1969)
* "When the reference point of the narration is not the present moment but some point in the past, we have the 'historical present,' in which a writer tries to parachute the reader into the midst of an unfolding story (Genevieve lies awake in bed. A floorboard creaks . . .). The historical present is also often used in the setup of a joke, as in A guy walks into a bar with a duck on his head . . . Though the you-are-there illusion forced by the historical present can be an effective narrative device, it can also feel manipulative. Recently a Canadian columnist complained about a CBC Radio news program that seemed to him to overuse the present tense, as in 'UN forces open fire on protesters.' The director explained to him that the show is supposed to sound 'less analytic, less reflective' and 'more dynamic, more hot' than the flagship nightly news show."
(Steven Pinker, The Stuff of Thought. Viking, 2007)
Sarpong, I can be very magnanimous in victory! Let's bury the hatchet. Try something else. You can never win even if you read English at the university, because I also know my stuff and I am sure of myself!
I WANT US TO MOVE ON! STOP TREATING PEOPLE AS ILLITERATES NOW!
I am even ready to bail you out! You can secretly improve your English on-line instead of correcting grammar with your struggling grammar. To help you with your grammar, google:
A grammar book for you and I-- oops, me!: all the grammar you need to ...
By C. Edward Good
I am serious. Just give it a try! No one will see you!
You are quite a fighter, even though you are no match. I suppose if you improve your English, you can give me a better fight. Please do this before the next electoral campaign! I am looking forward to a more interesting debate than boring grammatical corrections in which you can NEVER WIN!
OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF "YOU MENTION" IN ENGLISH USAGE:
* "You mention that distributivity fails for 'one ought to'. What kind of Kripke-models exist for deontic modal systems incorporating that failure? Such a system can't be grafted on to K since distributivity of necessity over conjunction is a property of K.

*'Since You Mention It... Married Gay Characters Of Star Wars
While the BioWare/Star Wars/gay characters kerfuffle has largely blown over, it did have the effect of ferreting out any gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or remotely curious characters in the extensive Star Wars cannon. Pixel Poet sent me a fantastic bit he dug up from the recent Penny Arcade post, which mentions the first married gay couple in the Star Wars universe, between male humans Goran Beviin and Medrit in Karen Traviss' novel Sacrifice. (Penny Arcade also did a fantastic comic on the subject, the first panel of which is shown above.)"'

* What is Shakespeare saying here?
Hello
I am writing to ask for views on exactly what Shakespeare is saying here. The quote is from The Winter's Tale:
Polixenes:
Quote:
Say there be;
Yet nature is made better by no mean,
But nature makes that mean; so, ev'n that art,
Which, you say, adds to nature, is an art,
That nature makes
The reason I am asking is that Coleridge, who had a thing or two to say about Shakespeare, maintains that what Shakespeare is saying is that art comes before nature, that our perception of nature is somehow determined by how we perceive it artistically.
Is Shakespeare not, in fact, saying precisely the opposite? To me Shakespeare seems to be saying that nature has 'the final say', so to speak. That is, whatever art adds to nature - in painting, literature, etc - is itself
a product of nature. That is, remove the external world and there is no imagination. That's how I'm reading it.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve

Sarpong,
You are in no position to correct anybody's English because you have a very weak grasp of the language! I insist that there is absolutely nothing wrong with what your are trying to find fault here!
Here is where you are going to be caught red-handed. "Mention" is RIGHT.
I COULD HAVE WRITTEN "Articles the you raise at Bawku." Note that "raise" is also in the present tense! Which school did you attend? Must we blame the school? I am perfectly convinced that you passed through school, but school did not pass through you! This "waterproof" attitude of yours to knowledge is clearly on display today!
___________________________
READ:
"Comparing a natural disaster or a crisis such as the one you [mention] at Bawku to a tro tro in Ghana, requires alot of imagination."
THE ABOVE SENTENCE IS WRONG, FOOL
Thanks for helping me to expose you further for what you really are, a
charlatan who is capable of becoming a quack doctor if you can get away with
it!
You shall not get away with it! Don't you have anything at all to say about
your FRESH AND VERIFIABLE BULLET ON THIS VERY PAGE?
SHAME UNTO YOU!
Cheers!
These attacks are going to continue until you stop calling people
"illiterates" in this forum!
