How much cocoa is produced in Osu
It's not about quantum of production.
It's about where Tettey Quarshie hailed from.
Stop digressing!

Komfo Anokye is from Awukugua, those Ewes saying he is Komfo from Noche must ask themselves if Ewes pronounce fetish priests as Okomfo or Komfo in their language.
If they don't have such word for fetish priests then why did ...

Stupid comments from Ashanti person
How do you know the comment was from Asante? Did you find Asante in the comments or just pure hate.
You can't read despite your free education.
You are below animals. Animals don't behave like you. Do they?
Let me educate you. Okomfo Anokye is called Torgbui Tsala , his is a twin brother to Torgbui Tsali.
When they migrated from Notsie in Dahormey to present day Ghana, Tsali & Tsala had a little beef, so Tsala traveled to to t ...

It's the same way they claim Okomfo Anokye was from Ashanti Region when indeed the man was from the Volta Region, Notse. Okomfo from Notse, now Okomfo Anokye.
Okomfo Anokye is from Awukugua in the eastern region. Never from the Volta region
You were misinformed and that was what got into your brain. The name Anokye was derived from Notse a town in the Republic of Benin where the Ewes stayed before migrating to the present Ewe land. You were miseducated. Distorte ...

So why not nortsie but Volta region. Is nortsie in Volta region

TETTEH QUARSHIE IS NEVER FROM OSU HE IS FROM AKUAPEM MAMPONG THAT WAS WHERE HE PLANTED THE COCOA. THERE IS NOTHING IN OSU THAT SHOWS TETTEH QUARSHIE IS FROM THERE. OPPORTUNISTS AND NAME SEEKING PEOPLE, JUST SHUT UP!

Wo maame kilograms
I think Tetteh Quashie planted the cocoa pods in the Eastern region due the suitable soil he could find.
What has Osu contributed to the wellbeing of Ghana? He came from Osu and so what? Your sense of ownership hasn't yielded anything. You don't even have a chief.
Nonsense! if OSU is not important to you why then was it necessary to mention Mampong in his speech? You people have continued to distort history to glorify yourselves
On point
PLEASE STOP DISPLAYING YOUR HEIGHT OF FOOLISHNESS HERE. THANK YOU!
Osu contributes 10% of National Revenue. The whole Ashanti Region gives 4% of National revenue. Shame unto you.
Come again please, how did you arrived at such conclusion, knowing the gold, the timbers, cocoa and the rest of all stuff coming from Ashanti region?
Ur a cow

So why then do the government borrow money for infrastructure in Osu and used gold and other resources from Akan land as collateral to offset Ghana debt.

So are you saying History is a useless subject. History tells truth and factual story and you know tried to distort the fact about where the great Tetteh Quarshie came from and you think it's OK to keep mute.
And so your ashawo mother, stupid bastard when the president of Ghana talking foolishly about history which is not correctly fucking Bush people.
Lol if Osu which houses Oxford Street , Parliament House , Accra sports stadium etc. then imagine Mampong that no one knows any significant thing from there..
It had been in our history books for these while that Tetteh was from Mampong Akuapem why are you now disapproving. Tetteh is a Ga name but Quarshie sounds like Ewe.
U have said something oooo
Liars in government!!!! Even the president is competing with Bawumia on lying.
Lie a ton government
I thought they would give historical antecedent of his lineage. Who are his parents?
What tribe is he from in Osu or Techie?
Lazy journalism and write-up
He could hail from both if he found himself in a situation where the mother is from Mampong and the father is from Osu. In this typical case scenario, he was bilineal.
NPP and distortion of facts. The fact that someone lived and farm at Manpong does not mean he is from there. The name alone alone will tell you that the man is not an Akuapim, but only moved there to farm because Accra is not ...

Legendary liar.
Addo and Bawumia have broken the Guinness world record of Lie-a-thon.
There are a lot of distortions in the written History of Ghana because some of the early writers sometimes relied on mere HEAR SAY, and did not verify their source before coming out with their writeups.
Is Ayikoi Otoo not an NPP man? Or internal wrangling has started
And where did he put his first stolen seed from fenandopo? Now our Indian brothers has brought us new varieties of maize to plant and that is what we must focus on than cocoa
Ayikoi otoo, your statement is blurred bcos you said Tetteh Quarshie was BORN & RAISED fro osu. It is a clear difference from the hometown of Tetteh Quarshie, ( BORN & RAISED compared to FROM)
Where from attaa ayi?
And Cecilia Dapaah
The fact that one is born and bred in Osu does not mean that he is from Osu. Tetteh Quarshie is my great grandfather and he is not from Osu.
Indeed, he is a Ga. Tetteh Quarshie’s son is Dickson Abeo Tetteh (well known Commissioner for Oaths), whose daughter is Agnes Amankwah Tetteh, who is my mother. The fact remains that he settled in Mampong Akuapem but not al ...

Kwame Nkrumah was from Nkroful but he was an MP in Accra, how about that. Even today, there are MPs in Accra who do not hail from Accra. Let's not be too petty.
Let them stop their politcs. Is it the first time in the history of ghana that Tetteh Quarshie has described as indegene of Mampong Akuapim?
Look at ghana history books.
I am concerned about the level of animosity exhibited, whether Osu produces Cocoa or not, the President made a mistake in the origins of Tetteh Quarshie.
His handlers must wake up.
