The French did it successfully in Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso, and now all lands in the country belong to the Government. I'm yet to find out if it's the same thing in other French speaking countries.

Ghanaweb can not do anything about your case. Unfortunately the manager of ECG doesn't like Ghanaweb at all so he doesn't read anything here. Contact your Assembly man. He can help

Very interesting. Also remember the West Indian lawyers, doctors, police, pastors, and teachers who built the foundations of the British Gold Coast. The Fanti Confederation was one of their major legal handiworks.

There is a serious distortion of historical facts in the write-up on Lagos. The threat was NOT to Lagos city it WAS threat to the whole territory only small oart of it was inhabited. Secondly,there was no Ghana at the time. Thirdly, it was a group of individuals in the then Gold Coast who initiated and won a protest against the British Government's Bill to acquire huge tracts of lands in some designated colonies including Gold Coast and what is now south- west.Nigeria.
