If anyone deserves reparations for the slave trade, it is the descendants of slaves in the Americas and not us.
Your forefathers slave traders sold slaves to the whites and collected and enjoyed their money or goods. Now you want to collect double money again, in the name of making the souls of the slaves rest well. You think the whites are small children.

Secondly, don't allow the despicable gormless, noise making pigs to detract you from your assignment. They hold a press conference ranting like malnourished babies then you quickly set up a probe or committee of enquiry. JDM, you must know by now the the pigs don't wish you well. They don't wish ghana well. Stop being pushed around by them. If well meaning Ghanaians talk, listen to them but definitely not to these despicable noise making occultic idiots.

Mahama, u couldn't debunk the fact that Gambaga slave market was blacks selling blacks to blacks,what Manasseh said was true,Chiefs sold out their village people to the whites for rum,kitchen knives, beads,gun powder and mirrors(Such mediocre items),we can't pretend that didn't happen,so in as much as u are demanding for reparations from the white,the role the black man played was much more crueler,white buying a black slave isn't a big deal than the black man selling his fellow black brother,people sold their nephews and nieces for rum(Alcohol),and Mahama thinks its infantile to raise it?Or he suggesting that the role the whites played was systematic but the black man's was under the influence of some inexistent gods or spirits and didn't know wat they were doing?Same greed,and pull him down,selfishness is what has dragged Africa backwards until this day,Manasseh was spot on,A white stranger coming to buy me away and my uncle who sold me to him,who is much more cruel???

Exactly, @Ghanaman. The descendants of those Africans, who were and are still touted even to this day as "brave warriors and conquerors, mighty and wealthy kings", who sold their fellow Africans to Europeans, want reparations paid to them for the evil their ancestors committed against their fellow Africans. Didn't their ancestors get full payment for the fellow Africans they sold? Reparations must be paid, and paid only to the descendants of the former slaves in the Americas and elsewhere, not to complicit and corrupt African nations.

Mr Mahama, raising questions about some relevant aspect of the transatlantic slave trade is childish and attention-seeking. By the same reasoning, are you not also chasing attention and legacy? Apart from the symbolic value of the resolution, who will pay reparations - USA or UK or neo-Nazi Argentina?
The Arab countries, which lined up to vote for the resolution, also enslaved and brutalized Africans. Some of the Arab countries continue to trade and abuse Black Africans as slaves to date. When will you demand reparations from your Arab friends?

Thanks Ghanaman. Mahama wants reparations from the West when clearly Africans were willing participants in the slave trade. So who's making infantile arguments? Mahama, come again.

If your father were to be treated the way those blacks had received you'd learned a bit of sense.
Manasseh was shouting on rooftops because he father didn't receive the best healthcare needed at the north, today he's defending slavery, self-centered guy.

Manasseh is just simply a badly educated village boy whose mind is not sophisticated enough to understand that no African could dare resist the imposition of the trade in slaves upon them for the several hundreds of years that, that trade went on.

It needs to be emphasized that any attempt that was made by any African at the time to resist slavery, led to instant enslavement or even summary death at point blank range. In fact, the Africans who were forcibly tasked to go and hunt for slaves from the interior of the country for the white slave merchants, were considered lucky for being free from enslaved themselves. They were in addition, handsomely paid for that and hence, they became so rich and powerful among their local peers that even when the slave trade was abolished, they protested against that decision.

Manassehs state of mind is just the same as that of the Africans who were compromised to engage in the slave trade as a service to our oppressors. It is obvious that he Manasseh has not become an apologist for the ultimate beneficiaries of the slave trade for nothing. He has also not assumed the cheek and the effrontery to denigrate and falsely castigate our ancestors for nothing. That he is belatedly still flaunting the old worn out and misleading lie by the beneficiaries of the slave trade that Africans were also involved, speaks volumes about the level of his moral turpitude.

Needless to say, this monumental gaffe by Manasseh, has effectively terminated his once promising career along with any residual respect as a journalist that even his adversaries may have had for him.

Now that he has understandably condemned himself into the willful custody of those who have been universally pronounced guilty of committing the gravest crime against humanity, I hope the wrath of our ancestors will also effectively follow-up and deal with him in a manner that corresponds to the Weight of his mortal transgression.

Go and tell your former coward finance minister who is on the run to come home and answer his corrupt allegations-ok? Before you talk of great Mahama. Mahama is 100 percent better than the former useless president who run the economy into a ditch amidst massive corruption- together with his side kick the so called economic wizard who we voted against potoooooooor as evidence of a very bad leadership.

You think every slave was sold? Even so does that make it right? If there was no initiators who planned the whole thing, would there even be someone to sell? Who benefited most from the slave trade? - the African countries or the other? Over 400 years. So black traitors sold their fellow person- does that mean we have to say the black victims deserve it? Does the black sellers match the quantity that were put in shackles like animals and shipped? Should we let the masterminders walk free and not even talk about it? In any case, Who at all told you reparation is only money? Or that it is money that Mahama and co are looking for- like Mahama said some of us have infantile thinking. The worst person in life is a traitor-people like you. I will ask you to read some of sekou toure quotes and advice yourself as an African . A kid brain like you.

Mahama is taking the path of nana Addo..always interested in giving talks on international platforms yet his own citizens are suffering..slavery is happening right here in Ghana in 2026..these are the slavery happening in Ghana 1. If nurses/ teachers and doctors are not paid for 1year after they have been posted? Is that not slavery 2. In this modern era, a whole president of Ghana can sign a slave law to send their essential workers like nurses, doctors, teachers etc to a different country simply because he cannot create jobs for them..am asking is that not also slavery 3. We have a section of Ghanaian citizens who in this 2026 still drinks water with cows which I have witness some with my own eyes..4. In this modern day of 2026, Qhen a female graduate has to sleep with a big politician before she can get a descent jobs in Ghana.. please am asking is that not slavery? So the question is Ghana itself is still under modern day slavery which the govt has to correct all those mistakes before he can go out there and preach..because some Ghanaians are still going through slavery because of bad leadership

Hogwash. If you don't have anything constructive to say just zip your mouth. Comparing apples to mangoes just reveals the emptiness of your arguments. What Mahama did is unprecedented and trying to claim parts of his successful presentation for Akuffo Addo is desperation. Akuffo Addo's legacy is in the dustbins of history and anyone who tries to rebuild his tattered image is fighting in futility. He had 8 years to rule Ghana and virtually destroyed the country’s economy, that's what we will forever remember him for.

Your excellency, with the greatest respect, these arguments about the reparations are never infantile or childish.
The fact of history is that our forebearers were willing participants in the Atlantic Slave TRADE (and this is why it is refered to as TRADE).
A good many of the slaves were sold on the markets to the slave traders, and that makes us also accountable for the horrors of slavery, and not beneficiaries of reparations. If anything at all, the reparations should go to those who were victims (the decendants of the slaves) and not the decendants of the participants.

We must sometimes sit down and reflect soberly, about what it was like to be bundled off to these slave traders, by your own kingsmen, never to return home. Let's try and imagine the feelinig of betrayal they must have felt.

@Kwadwo, Massa, history is what happened and not our own perceived opinion of it or the Anansesem that our parents told us.Whether it is a comfortable read or not. Our ancestors were just as vile ,despicable and gullible. They were no different from our own galamseyers and the Chinese today. Now, read.... I do not want to hear your version of what happened. Just read what happened.

Prominent slave traders and organizers in the Asante Kingdom (1700–1890s) were primarily state officials under the Asantehene (King), including the Gyasewahene (treasury overseer) and Batahene (trade chief). The state-controlled system, driven by monarchs like Osei Tutu and Opoku Ware, captured slaves through wars, supplying them to European traders at coastal forts like Elmina and Cape Coast.

Key Asante Entities in Slave Trade (1700–1890s):
Asantehene (King): Held total control over trade, using slave sales to obtain guns and European goods to maintain regional superiority.
Gyasewahene: Managed the state enterprise of trade and was empowered to direct trade to chosen locations.

Asokwahene (or Batahene): Specialized official responsible for trading on behalf of the King, frequently purchasing goods on the coast in exchange for people.

Akwansrafo (Road Wardens): Maintained control over trade routes to prevent, in some cases, European-armed slaves from moving against Asante interests, but facilitated the general flow of captives.

Akwamu: An allied state noted for its role in early, high-volume slave supply to Europeans.

Key Historical Context:

State-Owned Enterprise: The slave trade was not simply run by private individuals but was a state-controlled mechanism to procure firearms.
Transition from Gold: While initially focused on gold, the Asante pivoted to exporting captives (prisoners of war and subjects from conquered tributes) to feed European demand.

Northern Routes: After expanding to northern Ghana, slave traffic was directed through northern routes as well, handled by regional chiefs (Gonja/Dagomba) under Asante mandate.

End of Trade: The slave trade continued until the British exerted direct control, specifically forcing the abolition of the practice upon the exile of King Prempeh I in 1896.

If this refers to me, then I strongly advice that you read credible history documents about the slave trade, and get yourself educated about the facts of the Atlantic Slave Trade.

I do support the notion that the Slave Trade was a despicable crime against humanity, but then in making such a declaration, all participants in the crime must be duly mentioned, and held accountable; and not just 'one' of the 'parties', for the sake of political and financial expediency.

Have you ever read about the Salaga Market (an international trading post at the time), and the slave trading that went on there, how slaves were traded openly on that market with the involvement forebearers.

I would have prefered not to mention the activities of some tribes in this country, who through wars, captured these victims and sold them to the slave traders, or the chiefs who recieved payments in the form of drinks, guns & ammunition, etc, according to historical records.

Ignorance of the type being displayed on this platform, together with its associated dogmatism and 'begger mentality', has contributed grately to the state we find ourselves so many years after Political Independence.

Get yourself educated on the subject of the Slave Trade, and stop bandying senseless, emotional words you don't understand youself, lest you be come a victim of the worst form of mental disease you seem to be trying to describe; that is, if it isnt already too late (from the look of things).

Within historical African tribal wars, there were captured humans and labor. Chatel slavery was NOT practiced in Africa. Many prisoners of war in tribal Africa were actually assimilated into the new society. Take the northerners assimilating into Akan society for example. When we speak of international slave trade, how could the African tribes know how the colonisers were practicing their form of labor? Racism was not even apparent to the tribes at the time. And what day did they have beyond the exchange? The tribes themselves were under constant attack from the invader colonisers who had brought guns. Trade with the or be defeated. Note that majority of slaves were captured by mercenaries armed by the traders. Either way the main contest is how the colonisers chattel slavery was practiced. It was dehumanising and a crime against humanity and we should not even be turning our heads back to the tribes who were actually victims of the powerful invaders with big wooden navies and a well-rehearsed agenda.

Look who is calling somebody infantile and childish. Granted, the slave trade was very bad, however, you and your inexperienced foreign minister cannot grade it at the pinnacle of a taxonomy of crimes against humanity. What about colonization itself whereby tribes were either lumped up together with other unrelated tribes into one country, or, split apart to belong to two different countries with different foreign lingua franca? Where does colonization lie in the hierarchy of the taxonomy of crimes? If it is about crime, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ABOUT BRINGING FORMER NPP APPOINTEES TO BOOK ALMOST TWO YEARS INTO OFFICE? Talking about Adu boahen, ofori atta, agyenim boateng PPA, bost, PDS, Kelni gvg, etc? What have you done about Afenyo-Markins' criminal case of slapping a policeman? All we see is you playfully and childishly bantering with him at funerals and in parliament. That slapping is not a crime? I think you should be worried about the sudden emergence of a string of disgraceful events coming your way. Perhaps Gen Kotoka's ghost is haunting you. If it isn't the disgraceful withdrawal of your PhD at Lincoln University, then it is being hooted at by the people you claimed to be getting reparations for in the US, or much worse, a suit at the Ghana Supreme Court challenging the legality of the change of Gen Kotoka's name at the airport. Mr president, if you weren't childish and infantile yourself, you wouldn't jump into the ceremonial uniforms of military generals. Though it's not wrong, it is not necessary for a mature president to do. Even the young Diomaye Faye of Senegal hasn't done that yet. JM, respectfully, I think you are the childish one rather. Remember, I voted for you 3 times, infact 4, including your vice presidency, but, I've begun to see this infantile side of you which irks me a lot.

He Mannaseh dare not compare himself to black intellectuals like Ealter Rodney, Morale Campbell amd Chancellor Williams or Dr. KWAME Nkrumah. All these personalities saw reparations for slavery as necessary and the slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.
By the way, is Manasseh a historian?

I completely disagree with JDM on several grounds. Yes, slavery is a crime against humanity despite its legality then, but I can't agree it's the gravest crime against humanity. What is the measuring rule for the hierarchy of crimes to ascertain slavery is the gravest? Don't belittle other crimes and sufferings of people you don't know.
Again, the Transatlantic Slavery is not the only slavery that went on in Africa. Slavery was ongoing long before the whites came. There was localized slavery where slaves were used for various human sacrifices. The Arab slavery started and outlasted the Transatlantic. It was also barbaric where males were mostly castrated without anaesthetics and the women kept for sex. You can't talk about only one side.
Now with the Transatlantic Slavery, there were three groups of people involved:
I) Slave Makers. They are the Africans, our own ancestors who either went on a raid or went to war or seized as payments for debts other free Africans and forcefully turned them into slaves. Those who resisted were killed. We black Africans today including JDM are the descendants of those who turned free men into slaves. What do you think is their responsibility in the reparation talks? Note that the Slave Makers are also the first to trade in slaves for profit.
II) Slave Traders. They bought and sold the free men made slaves for profit. They were intermediaries, both blacks who transported the slaves to the coasts, and whites who transported them to the Americas. Transportation of slaves was deadly as many died on the way eg. the 134 JDM talks about. But that's insignificant to the casualties suffered. The white slave traders, though not the only ones, stand accused everyday, ignoring those who made the free men slaves and first sold them. Their profit margin is a reason for the call for reparations. What do you think is their responsibility?
III) Slave Users. They also bought the slaves and put them to free forced labour on the plantations, factories, construction sites, homes etc. They enjoyed the fruits of the labour of the slaves for free. Despite the ill-treatment, there some were fed, clothed, slept under roof, had spouses and children etc. as subhumans until death came or freedom came at last. For the margins of profits these slave users enjoyed there is the claim of reparation against them.
Today, in the 21st Century, slavery has still not left Africa. In some communities in Ghana today, children are sold (not into slavery?). The many beggars on the streets of Accra are a clear evidence of slavery. Good and interview them and see, that they are only working for the slave masters. Any reparation for them? Many African girls for tha want of jobs that JDM and other African presidents couldn't provide them travel to Gulf states end up in slavery. Any reparation for them? Some are forced to have sex with dogs. Where does that rate on the index of crimes against humanity?
Whereas slavery contributed significantly to the development of the Americas, slavery is not responsible for the lack of development in Africa. African countries have high population and so have never lacked labour force. In fact unemployment rates in Africa are one of the highest in the world because successive governments including that of JDM have failed to provide jobs for their people, if not destroy some of the few existing jobs for political reasons. That is why nurses, teachers, the youth are on the exodus to foreign lands. If you doubt, just bring another slave ship to our ports and see how many of your professionals will voluntarily board to be transported to the Americas in flight of the harsh realities they are enduring here. You will see the freedom from their hardships here far outweigh their fear of the unknown world or death. Ask those who travel through the deserts in search of greener pastures in Europe, if they fear the heat, slavery, murders of the deserts, the capsizing boats in the Mediterranean or they fear the hunger back at home.
Government officials in Africa, including JDM's have been corrupt, selfish, self agrandizing, the cause of Africa's problems. The biggest reason of Africa's problems however is mindset, the mindset that others are the cause of our problems and that our development is dependent on others. Locally, we blame our grandmothers as the witches behind the sickness, joblessness, death and every adversity that comes to us. When down with malaria, some prefer to go to prayer camps than to go the clinic. The thought of prevention is even abstract. It is same mindset our national leaders have. JDM believes the whites due to slavery are the reasons why we haven't developed. We spend millions to travel to Europe to court investors who don't live here so will definitely send their gains home. We can't build our own factories, we can't farm our own lands, we can't develop ourselves. Our governments are always on the way out to beg foreigners to come and invest. That is why our currency will always be weak, and we can't develop. Our wrong mindset is the reason why we want to sell the pains of the ancestors our ancestors sold for material gains in the name of reparation. We are not satisfied with the profits our ancestors made in slavery, we are seeking top-up. Has slavery really ended? It's now wonder our ancestors protested bitterly when slavery was made illegal by the whites, because we still want to gain from it.
I hope one day we have a proper mindset.

Vorsa or Vɔsa.
Ur name means sacrifies in ɛʋɛ.

Are u sensible than the over 125+ countires that voted for the motion to declare the slave trade as the 'Gravest Crime Against Humanity'?!

Do you know the first slaves taken from the continent were not sold by their own people, but were abducted/kidnapped by slavers?

You talk as one who only sees one side of a doublesided coin and thereby thinking as though the coin has only one side.

People like You (Vɔsa) always would want to politicize everything and belittle achievements accrued by people you support not.

Its funny how 'oversabi' leads people like You (Vɔsa) to talk trash and expect people to think you are abbrested.

Your hypocrisy equals that of the three countries that voted against the motion.

If the gravest crime against humanity is not Slave Trade that lasted over 400 years, then what qualifies to be the gravest crime against humanity?!

Man, get some schooling and garner up wisdom and stop spewing nonsense hoping to be heard.

If slave owners were paid reparations for freeing other humans that were their slaves, is it not equally prudent to pay reparations to the enslaved people?!

Mr President, pls don't mind the detractors. Pls go ahead to pursue the reparation. Mr Yaw Asane Tannoh is one of those detractors who speak against the reparation. Asane Tannoh says, government will squander the reparation proceeds so, it should not be endorsed. But wait a minute. Traditional leaders and families gave their people out for slavery but was it agreed that, those slaves should be multreated, killed or tortured? It is "NO" so, where is the involvement of the Africans in the wickedness done to the slaves? Africa must be paid reparation and it must be sufficient enough.

Mr president your predecessor Rawlings took people 50000 cedis from the bank, 50 cedis notes, took people's goods from the ports,,killed people, threw their bodies into the sea, beat those who resisted the atrocities of 'P'NDC
Think on those things and compensate them.

A student of history who has become a great disgrace to history as a subject.
Those making the dirty noise for reparations should do well and read the history books. If they do, they will come to the realisation that only a few whitemen took part in slave raids across Africa; an overwhelming number of tge slave raids were done by Africans who sold the slaves to the whitemen.
How can His Excellency, the President of Ghana who is a student of history pretend that he does not know this.
The President should do well to read the book "Topics in Wesr African History" by the late Professor Albert Adu Boahen.

Mahama still practices both physical and psychological slavery in Ghana while gallivanting throughout the world for reparation for slavery. He has not paid teachers or nurses for nearly two years. And that is slavery. When payments due to farmers are not made, that is slavery.
One of his first actions as President was to build ten cathedrals for his church. That is mental/religious slavery. Finally, condoning and conniving with his brother to buy two planes costing over $120 million while his people live in squalor is mental slavery that is paying allegiance to western industry.
His retardation in all these makes him unfit to request for reparations for historical slavery while indulging in present day slavery against himself and others.

It's a shame for your administration to be pushing for the reparations narrative with such an energy. I think that's misdirected. Remember trade is between sellers and buyers, and it beats my mind to read the arguments you're advancing in this instance.

Historicall, African tribal wars did capture the opposing tribes for labor or just subservient. Chatel slavery was NOT practiced in Africa. This is akin to contrasting subsistence farming with industrialised agriculture (they are not the same). Many prisoners of war in tribal Africa were actually assimilated into the new society. Take for example, the northerner tribes who were frequently assimilated into Akan society, had wives among the Akans and family of their own. When we speak of chatel slavery, how could the African tribes know how the colonisers were practicing their form of labor? Racism was not even apparent to the tribes at the time. Hanging people from trees, brandishing with hot metal, whipping like cattle etc. And what say or knowledge did the tribes have beyond the exchange? The tribes themselves were under constant attack from the invader colonisers who had brought guns and arming other tribes. Trade with them or be defeated and perish. Note that majority of slaves were captured by mercenaries armed by the traders. Either way the main contest is how the colonisers form of slavery was practiced. It was dehumanising and a crime against humanity and we should not even be turning our heads back to argue against the tribes who were actually victims of the powerful invaders with large wooden navies, guns, bibles, alcoholic drinks and a well-rehearsed agenda.

Africans have no right to demand reparations for slavery because they were complicit in the slave trade themselves. Just as those who bought the slaves profited, so do those he actually sold the slaves. Africans captured and sold their own people for cheap trinkets, booze and guns. Mahama thinks because Africans didn't build the slave ships that carried the slaves across the Atlantic, they didn't necessary profit from the slave trade. He should be glad that UN condemned slavery as the gravest crimes against humanity and leave it at that.

If there is a lawful employment it means that the person who is being employed must know the terms and conditions of employment.
There is no law that says that a person must work for another without pay, be forced to work at gunpoint, beaten and put under all forms of inhuman subjugation.
If Africans are to be blamed for the slave trade it means that, in the first place they send their children to Europe and America to work for some number of years and at the end of the service they are paid wages for the work they have done.
After the end of the contract they will return home.
The matter is that the Caucasian has up to date not realize how to have good relations with people around the world.
They could not find any proper way of dealing with the colonies, wherever they were on civilized human relations.
So the colonial and today neocolonial relations that the metropolis established with their former colonies has not evolved into civilized economic relations, than the same old system of exploitation.
Europe has not perfected human relations that the world will admire apart from the cruel and despicable animal relations, even today.

Mr. President, African countries do not deserve any slavery reparations because these countries willingly sold their own citizens to Europeans in exchange for cheap guns, munitions, European liquor, cloths and money. African countries were complicit in that evil trade. The only ones who can rightly demand reparations are the ancestors of those who were enslaves in the USA, Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean island nations and some European countries. There's nothing infantile about calling your demand for reparations into question since that demand is patently hypocritical.
