What's important is he has been recognised by another country. This shows that Ghana had many Founders who fought for our independence. His contribution was intellectual.

Hahahaha. That is funny because Ghana under Rawlings named an important Circle after Sankara because they were friends and both were Coupists. Something should have been named after all the members of The Big Six. What about Philip Quaicoo who was also a Politician and an Educationist. Shame on Ghanaians.

That's Ghanaweb's complete illiteracy! This website became so stupid since Akoto left or sold it. Now, it's at its worst.

Hypocrite and Tribalistic Ghanaweb - Fantes are Always Great 5 hours ago

It was an Asante, like Ghanaweb would have said, an Asanteman hero. But because of their hate against the fantes, said a Ghanaian, a Gold Coaster. Hypocrite Ghanaweb, always promoting tribal tactics and division in Ghana.

Asantes never hated the Fante people. Do you know where the Asante people did trade with the European merchants? They only had problems when the people of Cape Coast did not want the Asante people to trade directly with the European merchants but through them as intermediaries. The Asante and some Fante States were trading partners. It were the Fante City States of Cape Coast and Elmina that fought against each other.

Anyone who says Asante hate other Ghanaians is a lazy liar and a foreigner with no deep connections to this country. Asante allows anyone to join them but always remains the Boss, won’t share and takes everything. Asante were allies with Moshi, Dagomba and Gonja. True or false?
Original Asante Empire included Kwahu and Bono-Ahafo. Anglo and Nzema were on good terms with Asante. True or false? The Fante, Akwamu were the Slave Dealers with direct contacts to the Danes and British, the wicked Hausa were purposely brought in from Nigeria as slave drivers, herding human beings like cattle. Check the historical records to know. Akyem and Akuapem left Adanse with Asante, the settlers of Mampong also originated from Adanse. If not for the failure of Asante to unite all Akan People because of their selfishness , greed and intoxication with power over all others, our African State would not be put together by Europeans. All Akans don’t like Asante because they are cheats and don’t know how to share power.They don’t even say they speak Twi or admit that their culture is Akan. For them, the language, fufu, dance and everything is Asante. So let them take their minimised selves and blind them from seeing the unified, greater and powerful nation that would have been in size with Nigeria. Everybody should stay his somewhere and let the smaller foreign origin people rule Ghana forever.

So, today, we are being told that Dr. Aggrey was born in Accra at the slums of Chorkor, really?

Oh, Afriyie's Ghanaweb, WHY?

From your own site 'Ghana Famous People' on Dr Aggrey:

Place of Birth: ANAMABU (good, but Anomabu/Anomabo is better)

Then in the biography proper, which is full of errors like: 'Aggrey was very talented in LANGUAGE and was said to have spoken (beside English) ...'
Ghanaweb, 'beside' and 'besides' sound the same, but they mean different things: 'beside' means 'next to, on the side of' while 'besides' means 'in addition to' or 'also'!!

You went further: 'He was born in CHORKOR to of ...' Chorkor you mean? The last time I checked, Chorkor was/is still in Greater Accra (western part of Accra)

My question: is Dr Afriyie too stingy to employ a JHS/SHS graduate with a pass in English language who could correct the biographies of famous Ghanaians he has compiled?

Ironically, because of politics, Aggrey's own country, Ghana, knows and recognizes only one personality, Kwame Nkrumah.
