You conveniently included your native Dagbani language in the pilot. Why did you not wait to include it after the pilot as you want the Ga-Dangme people to wait for the final phase of the project to be included?

This miseducation minister and religious bigot will surely send us back thousands of years with this local language nonsense. English is the language of innovation, the language of instruction in any conceivable field of human advancement with a vocabulary strength of over one million words, which therefore makes it the language of opportunity. That is why it is a prerequisite to every higher ladder of education. Twi, which is the most widely spoken language in Ghana has not more that a thousand words. Haruna stop this sentimental nonsense. All our local languages will soon go the way other non evolving languages went - extinction. Sad but that's the reality.

You are just a lost soul. So you’re happy that someone else’s language is superior to yours. This is mental slavery, please try to emancipate yourself. Is a grievous lie that English is the language of innovation. Mind you, a consummate sheepish person, that Russia never used english in their innovation journey having been the first country to send a man to space. South Koreans are innovation giants right now, yet they don’t use English as a medium of instruction in schools. The Chinese are science and technology power house today and a manufacturing hub of the world. China is also the second largest economy after the United States, yet again they don’t use English as a medium of instruction in their schools. Look at Germany, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, the lists go on. So in a nutshell, you are just a slave and comfortable in that slavery space and you don’t value your own.

It's not someone else language being superior to anyone's language. Whether you like nor understand or not English language is the international aviation language and every pilot should have a level of proficiency to become and international pilot be he a French, German or an Iranian pilot. You can continue to get emotional about your dialects but they are just not competitive. Please give me the basic translation of the following basic terms in any local dialects:
1. Electron
2. Voltage
3. Electrolysis
4. Osmosis
5. Potential difference.
You can't even study basic science in any local language.

Any policy his ministry embarks on his people must be the first beneficiaries. Haruna is building a STEM lab in the Northern region to train teachers in the country. Every good thing must be sited in his yard, yet when it comes to canvassing for votes he reaches out to every corner and his bootlickers even brag about he controlling other regions in the North, as to what they mean by that, only they can tell. But when it comes to resource allocation the other regions they say he controls do not matter.

Total nonsense to talk about Ga lands being leashed. After the the Independence of Ghana, how many Ga lands leased for Fifty years have been reclaimed. Ga people were just fooled to give their lands away. Go to Kumasi, Koforidua, Nkawkaw, Tamale and see if the people there lease their lands for Fifty years. The people are sensible and don’t lease their lands but rent them. Very soon, the Ga people will be living in their canoes in the sea as some have started doing now. The Ga people should build Toilets than shitting everywhere.
I don’t understand why the Ga people are so least intelligent. The Ga people who are able to put up houses even rent the rooms out to people who arrive from the interior. Yes, the Ga people then sleep at their kitchen,toilets and in front of their houses. Go to any typical Ga people area and see if they have kitchen, bathroom, and toilet places.. All have been rented out. The Asante, Kwahu, Ewe,Dagomba, Bono people are smart. They don’t do such stupid things They maintain their dignity.

How many MPs in the Greater Accra enclave are Gas? Majority of the mps in Accra are from the north and the Volta. There are some Fantis too. I do not want to be personal so I wint mention names here. The Gas are not bothered by that trend. Their only objection will be if the person is an Asante. This is a fact. They are mostly concerned with names of places and Akwaaba is a good example. Ohene Djan Sports stadium was a big issue for them because they thought he was an Ashanti. The MP who just passed away was a northerner and the wife is vying to replace him. That is never their concern so far as he is not Ashanti. Please stop the noise making about this AI issue because the next two languages that will be added are Hausa and Nzema. Then Frafra and Sefwi will follow. They will compensate you by changing the names of Kotoka airport and Jubilee House.

By the way, which body decides this? It will be helpful if Hon. Minister gives it to linguistic thinking group to think through and present recommendations.

Is it not time for Ghana to choose Asante Twi as a national language, in addition to English? Let us put aside every ethnocentrism and decide on the merit of the most spoken indigenous language in Ghana. This is long overdue!

Why would you exclude their language. That's very stupid decision. I am Ashanti but if you have twi there then you should have Ga too

How doe you place significance on a foreign language(Hausa) over indigenous ones. It’s sickening sometimes how we think and open ourselves up for unnecessary attacks.
Traditionally, every knows that Hausa is a foreign language from Nigeria, today, it’s predominantly spoken in most of our zongo neighborhoods but that doesn’t give it a superior preference over our indigenous languages.
For once let’s get serious about our priorities as a country.

Ga Adangbe is not a major ethnic group in Ghana. Dont lie to your self. Mamprusi and Dagomba is even bigger than Ga Adangbe

Why do the Akans hate the Ga people so much ?
Are they envious of something the Ga people have and they don't ?

Haruna is just helping the Muslims by including hausa, otherwise no need..He should have included Ga instead of hausa as an indigenous language...Haruna has an agenda to favour Muslims..Remember the Wesley girls saga...Ghanaians should not entertain him in any political office that count on voting in national elections...He is bias and wants to please his Muslim followers..Because as an MP from Tamale, majority of his followers are Muslims and he wants to satisfy his background...Ghana should not make that mistake...His Muslim background is too much in his leadership and is very dangerous...

I was trying to learn Ga at some point in my life and one of my friends, a Krobo man asked me “ Do you want to be a land guard “? Meaning Ga language is relegated to landguardism. So I stopped and since then I’ve never made any attempt to learn the language. I think Ga language is will die in the next twenty years because the Ga people themselves prefer speaking English to Ga, and moreover there aren’t enough Ga language teachers available in the country. Sorry my Ga people.
