MOHEE! THAT'S THE CORRECT WORD!
All this brouhaha over the Ga greeting for welcome which is Oobak3 was caused by the arrogant Dzifa Gomashie. How can you oversee the inscription of welcoming greetings of other local languages and exclude that of the indigen ...

Well said man. We have refused to be honest in this country.
Mahama keeps demonstrating on how to engage with our traditional leaders, showing them that they deserve your respect as you deserve theirs as the President, lightening the mood all the time. Rather than behaving like a dicta ...

How are the English and French going to pronounce 3? The Chinese and Arabs also don’t have it in their alphabet.

Since we all live on GA shipkon we must all eat GA food, chop GA women, speak GA shit GA, drink ntinshinu,
First time FRANKIE is right
Nobody, prior to the inclusion of Woezor, ever agitated over Akwaaba. She did that out of envy and spite.
Ghanaweb you are fools. Please explain to me how speaking Ga on Ga land become "controversial". This really exposes your stupid mindset.
U write big sensible stuff. She's lousy.
Don't mind that confused woman dzifa foliar woman when they get some power then they start misbehaving she now thinks she has a punishment because of her new found appointment..your face like public toilet you dzifa
The airport is a national asset..it is not even a regional asset. Greater Accra lands or the region for that matter belongs to the government of Ghana..therefore, stadiums, airports, all national assets fall under the jurispr ...

Mohee is no Ga. That Ada if you care to know.
Hmmmm! So even the President doesn't know how to pronounce the word.
Now you Know.. Oobak3 my broda...lol...lol.
These Gas should be grateful for housing the national capital of Ghana... Resources from elsewhere are been used to develop their land so they must be ready to accommodate other tribes values and cultures...
@FosterMeeky.......Wo y3 mampam paaaaaa...!!!! The Ga's are better of living their quiet and humble life without the so-called capital which has brought them all manner of criminals and violent animals like yourself.
@FosterMeeky.. You think like an Animal. Jealousy is what fuels your assessment. Gas do not give a shit about the capital that you are so jealous fixated on. Gas are better off without it. Accra was, and will still be Accra w ...

The Gas are willing to dash the Asantes the Capital on condition that they will leave Accra, they refused....lol..lol
Nii, do you know the meaning of dash?
John Mahamma is behind every attack against the Asantes and Otumfuo.Instead of concentrating his efforts on what is going on in Salwla he is cracking jokes and making unnecessary comments.His middle name is incompetent.Once i ...

You are a liar. This cannot be true.
Mahama said he did not know that the Ga Mantse was around. This shows the INSIGNIFICANCE of the oobake idiots. They should learn from the akwaaba people.
Damn stupid Kwasi, primitive and primordial tribal bigot.
@KWASI IN EUROPE, Oobak3 my broda lol..lol..lol, even though you are an idiot.
Mahama said he did not know that the Ga Mantse was around. This shows the INSIGNIFICANCE of the oobake idiots. They should learn from the akwaaba people.
O'obak3 is here to stay. Let the racists and xenophobians adjust and get use to the new order
Some Gas don't even know the meaning, I was shocked, so confused in the office "Oobake".
Please all my people, some things need to be corrected immediately. On the Ga/Dangme land some things must go on well. Why if Frafra, Dagati, Maprusi, Moshie, Nzema etc also trying to wave in.
Or when The Akwaba/Woezor was t ...

That should not be a problem. This should be in every region, what should happen is, in every region you make their greeting language bigger than the rest.
Very sensible, and strong point my sister. This is Gá awakening. Let's keep the touch burning.
Thank u Betty.
Ghana is officially an English speaking country. It makes sensible to promote culture as well. Accra airport should be, WELCOME & ' Oobake'. Kumasi airport, WELCOME & 'Akwaaba'. Ho airport, WELCOME & 'Woezor'. Then Tamale ai ...

Good point!
Sensible man!
Amaraba
Good leadership and respect for traditional authority accorded by JDM, will always deepen relationship.
Foolish people. Instead of asking for quota for state housing,employment,education as pertains in other countries because their areas have become a national they are fighting over signage.
I was asking Gas in my office about this "Oobake" and none of seem to know it. Am surprised even some Gas don't know what it is.
This is a testament to the fact that the Ga language has been marginalised. Im an Ewe but I think the GA's have a case. We have to give them that respect

Regarding this welcome controversial, I believe the best way to keep this regional language at the international airport quietly is ghana is English.
So the welcome will be in the middle, then follow by regional welcome l ...

It's the right thing to do. No one needs your authorisation to correct your blunder
It is beyond compréhension why the bigoted and Ghana-hating Asantenis should be making noise about something happening in Accra.
Asantes are ur nightmare

On any day, I will support the Ga community on this issue. It has nothing to do xenophobia. Accra is a Ga Adangbe land. If other languages are taught and spoken, it doesn't mean Accra doesn't have owners. "Oobake" should repl ...

Mahama, you are really a student of communication studies
Jokers.
Can someone tell me. What is it that the GA Mantse has on his head? Is it a crown, a hat what is it? Oh my God it is ugly looking.

Give the greedy, arrogant, avaricious Ashantis everything they want. Let them carry not only Ghana, but the whole universe in their bag. Let's just agree Kwaku Duah is Jesus, Muhammad, Bhutan, King Solomon, the richest and wi ...

@Just wondering. I fully agree with you. That thing on his head is extremely ugly to look at. This can be compared to the elegant and very majestic crowns worn by the Akan and Ewe chiefs. Anyway, "Oobake" to the Ga land.
It should be written Obake. Not Oobake.
There are no Ga lands in Ghana. They are foreigners from Nigeria.
Akuapems LOANED them the land when they came here to settle.
Greater Accra is a recent invention by rawlings. All those lands belong to the Akuapems.
This is also news?
As a matter of fact, if the greetings is only Akwaaba i think Ga people will not worry because Akwaaba has been there long time without problem but if a minister comes and add Weozor to Akwaaba then Ga people has the right to ...

@Akos. You are a true definition of an ethnocentric person. You are nothing but a tribal bigot. So disgusting!! It's people like you who are holding us back from developing as a nation.
