THE GHANA NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD HAS CATEGORICALLY SAID THAT ONLY THOSE WITH EARNED DOCTORATE DEGREE SHOULD USE THE TITLE "DR". THE MEDIA IN GHANA KNOWS BETTER AND SHOULD LEAD THE CAMPAIGN TO RID THE COUNTRY OF EXCESSIVE EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TO UNEARNED TITLES. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF KOFI ANNAN WERE TO WRITE THE NUMBER OF HONORARY DOCTORATES HE HAS RECEIVED YET HE HAS NEVER USED "DR" KOFI ANNAN ANYWHERE BECAUSE HE KNOWS BETTER.
Kudos Doc.,I admire you so much but unfortunately your own party members don't see youth worth. Do what you can, and leave what you cannot do and please remember to mentain your conscience and hold on to your integrity. On this eventful day, Doc., I wish you good luck and God bless.
So Ekow Spio Garbrah is 64 years today? Hahahahaha! Is he growing old or growing backwards for the ndc? Hahahaha I thought ndc will never go for somebody beyond 55 years and I thought ndc will never grow beyond 55 years so they will always call themselves youth now they have people who will be 68 years in 2020 fighting to be president? Hahahaha! These people are really out of their minds. How old will John mahama be ? Still 54 and youth? Hahahaha! 2020 John Mahama will 62 or 63 a retired civil servants and an elderly man hahahaha and ndc are fighting for a pensioner to be their Flagbearer? Onyame b3 koso atua moka. I thought ndc don't grow forward but go backwards because they are scared of old age as that will go against their political power that they want. These people behave like there are no elderly people in their party but only youth are qualified to be ndc and now their darling boy John mahama will be a pensioner by 2020. Spio Garbrah is more than 64 years ndc are scared of old age to death. These people finished university in the '70s during the late Gen. Acheampong ' s time some of them even finished university in the early '70s but they are 61 years that is ndc they lie on everything including their age but these are the guys who advise their babies with sharp teeth to insult others as old when they've reduced theirs.
