    He did what all of our great captains failed to do. He led Ghana to her first world cup and got us past the first round.

    News Media of the Year Ghanaian Chronicle
    Hatrick!!! In these times when the news media is either kowtowing to the gov't or planting rumours & untruth to make the gov't look bad, Chronicle has maintained a semblance of neutrality and truthfulness. BRAVO!!!
    "Osama(n)" Award
    Where is he/she/it?
    JJ's Foreign Account Six years ago, Kweku Baako & some members of the current govt promised to expose this account, which supposedly contained billions. We are still waiting ... or have they found it and shared the booty ;)
    "Konongo Kaya" Award
    He/She does not belong to a place, or can't perform a particular task yet won't yield to someone who can.
    Prof. Atta Mills
    (2008 NDC flagbearer) How many defeats does it take to make it clear that he has to give up
    "Face-the-wall" Award
    Awarded to a person who should be ashmed of himself
    Minister Kwamena Bartels
    "It is not true that 36 billion has been spent on "party friends and front journalists". Indeed, no money, not even a cedi, has been paid to Ghana Telecom for any such". It turns out he was lying. This is the same minister who proposed "Free farming Land for Ministers & MP's" and withdrew his proposal under fire.
    OJ Simpson Award
    They/He/She did it, but we can't prove
    Cocaine 4 + 'Tape Names'
    Cocaine 4 (Kwabena Amaning alias Tagor; Alhaji Abass Issah; Kwabena Acheampong and Kwadwo Ababio) and names mentioned on the cocaine tape, were either involved or knew something about the drug dealings in the country. We were not fooled by the Justice Georgina Woode Committee report.
