On campus one fine afternoon after a Water quality lecture at the University of Ghana, Legon Graduate hostel, I looked straight in the face of my younger friend and brother Zu and called him a "fool". The young man did not take this lightly. What started as a jest between two friends ended nasty.
I have since then watched my language 'mind your language' For anybody to feel the offence in my language, he needs to go home, sleep and digest my talk before getting the offence in the speech. I have always said it like it is without insulting.
After Williams made his filthy comments about the president, I facebooked six NPP friends and posed the question, Will you call Mills a xxxx? In all six cases, the answer was HELL NO. I told these friends; you are truly Ghanaian.
This response was relayed to Williams and all he said was that you guys are cowards. Cowards? We are respectful that all. Respect? He tried to find out again. Yes, respect. I emphasised. You don't mean it. You do not have to respect for age or leadership. He told me.
Tell me, am I a coward? Are my six NPP friends cowards too? Is Williams the bravest? Most Ghanaian? Our leaders deserve some respect.
