Pls de-escalate this pettiness. There more pertinent and pressing issues to deal with.
It is a good call. At least every Ghanaian language must be preserved. Come to think of it, why Akwaaba in the land of Ga?
So why are they using cocoa and gold to build Accra?

So what... every public place in Ghana was built by the Govt. Newsflash the useless Prempeh Airport was not built by Asantes, but the government of Ghana. But you named it Prempeh without input from other Ghanaians.
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine......for instance 15 paracetamol at once..........or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Why at all do you all keep referring to fully qualified Ghanaian LANGUAGES as dialects? Don't you understand the word?
I just learnt smtg …. Thanks @seth
That's reasonable
@low IQ Bono ba. Cocoa is useless unless it goes through Tema port(on Ga Land) for export. If Accra were a separate country, you will pay for every shipment plus tax. You cannot sell cocoa donkomi from the bush. You are not t ...

You can use whatever port you want. It will not be free.
You are misinformed. Taadi Harbour is still operational
Takoradi belongs to Western region. The same shipping rate will apply. It is still Ghana.
Don’t forget Tasfi harbour is still operational
Moron, is Takoradi Harbour on GA land?
Nii typical ga man with an IQ like a NIGERIAN haha
Did the Gas built the port with their money?
Kwasia name anything Asante built with their money. You had to beg the Govt for Prempeh Airport.
You are too stupid not to know that cocoa is also shipped at Takoradi port. The Accra land belongs to Akwapim people who granted you Nigerian immigrants a place to settle, and now you want to push other people around. That A ...
