What appeared as a simple Facebook post last Saturday by Manasseh Azure Awuni of the Multimedia Group Limited regarding another colleague, Paul Adom-Otchere of Metro TV, is likely to trigger ‘war’ between the two journalists.
Mr. Adom-Otchere, who hosts Good Evening Ghana, was alleged to have sent a controversial press statement issued by the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) which cautioned the media over what it believed to be excesses in the practice of investigative journalism in the country.
Mr. Manasseh, whose recent work alleged government contracts secured by a Ghanaian company was inflated and felt slighted by the GJA statement, questioned Adom-Otchere’s interest in the matter and why he is the one sending such statement to media houses.
But Mr. Adom-Otchere hit back at Mr. Manasseh Azure questioning his competence in investigative journalism, claiming the work of the latter is tainted with what he termed “cerebral weaknesses”.

Paul, how shallow, how low and how little you are. Grow up. X
Finally, this Manaseh dude has someone who can place him where he really belongs. He's grown beyond pomposity, thinking he can attack anybody and everybody. I've always laughed about this so called 'investigative journalist' title he carries about with. Paul just described how ludicrous he does his. Thank you Paul. What the heck was he trying to achieve with that post? I stopped listening to JoyFm because of his horrible English accent. ***barred word***!
You all are missing the point. How childish was it for manesseh to publish Paul's name in Facebook. Couldn't he have focused on to work and leave Paul out? Going ahead to publish Paul on Facebook shows that he probably has an ulterior motive. Manesseh should stop picking frivolous fights and focus on his work. He has forgotten so soon that putting such unexamined statements on facebook put him in trouble just few month ago
Paul Adom Okyere in his attempt to denigrate Manassseh has shown how shallow and ***barred word*** he is. He thinks shouting and mentioning Aristotle and Homer's Iliad automatically makes a person an intellectual? I did not see the import of his long obnoxious ***barred word***. Paul's only issue with Manasseh is the fact that Manasseh said he does not know Paul's closeness with GJA? Is that enough to go on national TV and ***barred word*** like a cow? Ghana paa di333. And all these people are regarded as so-called award-winning journalists? Tweaaa!!! I don't know of any professional or competent journalist in Ghana now. All of them are just loud-mouths with no real expertise in the true science and art of journalism
WE could'nt agree with you more !!!!; this Adom Otchere Darko is one of those arrogant idiotic non intelligent lawyers masqurading as a jounalist but with little inteliggence and little creative thought in whatever he does ; LOOK THIS DONKEY AND ARROGANT BAG FULL OF SHEET MAM CALLING SOMEBODY NAMES ; I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHO EMPLOYED THIS MAN FULL OF COW DUNG ; THIS MAN SHOULD SACKED; THIS ADOM SHOULD BE TOLD THAT GHANA DOES NOT NEED KRIMINAL BUSINESSMEN WHOSE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF POLITICAL AFFILIATION TO STILL FROM GHANIANS : THIS JASPONG GROUP HAS AFFILIATION TO THE NDC WHERE HIS COMPANIES ARE USED TO SIPHON FUNDS INTO THE NDC ; IBRAHIM MAHAMA IS TERMED A BUSINESSMAN IN GHANA AND THAT GHANAIANS SHOULD SUPPORT GHANAIAN BUSINESSESS LIKE JOSPONG BUT THE FACT IS THAT THESE BUSINESSES ARE ALL FRAUDULENT COMPANIES : GHANA DOES NOT NEED LOCAL FRAUDULENT BUSINESS : UTH IS THAT ADOM HAS TAKEN 'NOPKOFIO' FROM SIAW OF JASPONG TO PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS : WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT THEM !!!!!!
Paul Adom Okyere is an NDC mole pretending to be an NPP guy......
Adom has disgraced himself beyond comprehension. Was paid to do that or he thought he was genuinely defending a local businessman. Manasseh is defending the poor through his work. Does it make sense for one man to create so-called companies that depend on only government for contracts, doing the same thing. Adom's intervention was most uncalled for. He seemed to be full of himself. He is a university graduate and a lawyer but in his behaviour on this issue, our education seemed to have let's down again. No critical thinking at all but incoherent arguments meant at demeaning the work of a fellow journalist which has backfired.
