I don't know what it is with political platforms, some people get on it and they spew out all manner of goobledegook! Oh! And I forgot the other funny bit about the party not having money and the people sacrificing for the good of the party.

boot-for-boot what? Listening to the NPP Youth Organiser, Mr. Mustapha Hamid declare an all out war on the NDC made me sad. It was an irresponsible statement and as the youth leader, it does not set a good example for the NPP youth and the youth as a whole. Why would he sink so low to the level of the opposing side, the NDC? It goes beyond hotheadedness.

It was foolhardy. The frustration and anger due to the harassment and intimidation is to be expected but one has to also be careful and not let the opposition drive you into an abyss, for that's what they want to happen. I know they say ''when you trouble the frog, he eventually vomits'' but at what cost?

Match them boot for boot and then the mayhem sets in and the vultures swoop in to do their worst, that is, cause more mayhem and then their BOOM is actualized!.

The same advice goes for the firebrand of the NPP Hon. Kennedy Agypong. Firebrands often cause trouble and I don't think it is right for the Hon. MP to be fanning the flames of violence and to be heard doing so.

It smacks of immaturity and he should sober down. Yes, I am all for outspokenness but he tends to go over the top. I share his anger too a lot of the time but there is a proper way to do and say things.

So the Hon. MP should hold his horses sometimes for his own good and the good of the nation. His outspokenness is definitely refreshing but the firebrand bit is not. Admittedly, I appreciate the fact that, the NDC's machinations can make one's blood boil enough to commit bloody murder but two wrongs do not make a right.

just a by-election By the time you read this piece, the Odododiodoo constituency would have a brand new MP. This by-election is just that! A by-election! But it had become a monster rearing its ugly head and people were behaving like werewolves out for the kill.

Some people were spoiling for total mayhem so they can capitalise on it and cause more havoc but you know, good always triumphs over evil. The people who pray to the devil everyday should realise that the devil has no power over God and in the end the devil loses and you get your comeuppance one way or another for what ever evil you wish people or someone, you end up with the same wish on you - the people who tout evil lose sight of that…

not again! It seems we have not learnt our lessons in the past few months with the Gizele circus. We are now looking for another alleged scandal to sink our teeth into. By virtue of the fact that Mr. William Jefferson came to Ghana to see the VP means that the VP is also involved? C'mon how dense can we be? Don't please let us make a spectacle of ourselves again. It would be disastrous! But of course, some people will be happy to tout this side of the story and whip it for their own evil agenda.

I can see it as a case of if we could not get the President let us go for the Vice. It is called intellectual dishonesty on the part of those so-called journalists who are ready to run with it fair of foul. Let the discerning journalists research in to the story and come out with the real story. We are so ready to judge and condemn without any proof whatsoever.

I was listening to a station's text messages on this particular story and I was so sad about the messages that had already judged and condemned the VP. My God! It is just a story at the moment.

What on earth is wrong with us? The Hon Kan Dapaah was supposed to be hiding something because the man decided to be very cautious when questioned. Wouldn't you be cautious if you were in his shoes after all that's happened in the past few months?

We are so illiterate in our powers of reasoning sometimes I wonder whether we would ever progress at all! The kind of nonsensical text messages people send makes you want to weep for mother Ghana. Aba!! Let us exercise our brain matter positively and wisely and not spew out such rot. Let us get off our sorry bottoms and do some decent work for a change!
