    Akuffo addo is a tribal fool. He wants to turn everything and anything in the country to akan.

  • Nana Malik 2 months ago

    They should the history curriculum then, because that's what we were taught during our time that he's from mampong akuapem. And I am sure most older people know this.

    He was from Teshie.

    As for Sam George and foolishness, he can't ever be desociated from that.
    What's the need for an apology on this when in all previous history books that was what was published and thought in the elementary schools.
    If it's ...

    Then you were taught wrong. Because we were taught from the same Ghana history books that Tetteh Quashie was born and raised at Osu, but migrated to Mampong in search of work and became a blacksmith while he was there. He was ...

    FROM HIS WIKI PAGE......Tetteh Quarshie was born in about 1842 to a farmer from Teshie known as Mlekubo. His mother was known as Ashong-Fio from Labadi, both hailing from the Ga-Dangme ethnic group. In his teens Tetteh Quarsh ...

    Those Sam George baby need another round of slaps from the soldiers because he needs brains to help Mahama to draft a manifesto for his party rather bordering Ghanaians with his petty noise.

    That's right. He makes unnecessary noises. He is political attention seeker

  • Rude boy Dee 1 month ago

    He is fighting for what he believes in; it is his right. Akuffo Addo is fond of distorting history to favour his people. He did the same about who brought Nkrumah to Ghana, which sparked a huge argument 2 years ago. How would ...

    By your logic he may be an Ewe. Both Tetteh and Quarshie are Ewe names. You don't know anything about Ga names. For example. Adjei is a Ga name and Agyei is Akan name. also, Annan is a Fante name Annang is a Ga name. So, don' ...
