Illiteracy is what is killing Lawson and his like in the NDC. If you are well-educated, you are civil, well-cultured and you can hardly be abusive like Lawson and his like. Now that this disgraceful exposure has come, I don't even know whether he will be refined. But you see, the leopard cannot change its skin, neither does a decorated monkey becomes human, nor a dead tree in the river turns into a crocodile. "OVER TO YOU JOE LARTEY"
This guy was schooled and trained in Chorkor so "ONYAAIE SOOOME" is no foul language to him.
so only Accra based stations...??
Well, I think you are doing something good. But what are your main objectives for this monitoring? Are the incidents increasing or decreasing? Yes or No, what are the main reasons? When I was a young boy, so many years ago, during the time of Dr. Busia and Dr. Hilla Limann, there were no such things as insults as we see and hear days these days during our political discourses. It all started in 1992, if I am right. What changed, that we became intolerant of each other? We behave as if some people are more Ghanaians than others.Please, tell us how these things started and what can be done to stop it. Merely recording incidences is not enough. THANK YOU.
HOW IRONIC THAT THE MOST U GL I-EST OF THE ***barred word*** IN THE NDC ,ARE THE MOST INSULTING FUULLLLSSS IN THAT GOD-FORSAKEN PARTY. I AM THINKING OF OTUKONOR, KOFI ADAMS, ASIEDU NKETIA(THE GENERAL IN U-G-L I N-E-S-S),KOKU ANYIDOHO,(THE EWE WINDBAG) THIS KAAKAA MOTOBI LAWSON THING AND THE PANIN HUNU YAW BOATENG GYAN. WHEN THE TABLES TURN, DON'T CRY FOUL WHEN YOU ARE PAID IN YOUR OWN COINS.
S.tupid face man. So NDC like.
That's what Ghanaians want. I find it difficult to understand why the voter cannot teach the two parties a lesson through voting. Sanity will prevail if they have more competitors on the electoral landscape. Nobody should tell me "the other parties don't have any chance of winning." Elections are won with votes. If we cannot transfer our mandate to other GHANAIAN political parties, we should stop whining. That's what we deserve.
