Nana binladdo is not a unifier, but rather a divider. After Nana disgraceful hiding in London for more six months, Nana binladdo came back to Ghana just to create a confusion and divide the country on regional and tribal basis. Some of us in eastern region can't understand why Nana should ignore a whole " okyehene " and rushed to "Manshia " and offered " Asantehene his highest respect and even said he respected he "Asantehene" more than that of his own grandfather and a paramount chief of Akyen Abuakwa " traditional area . Nana is a digrace to our area, he didn't bother to visit " Okyehene" who is closer to his Nana's Nima residence , from Nana' house to Kyebi , is closer than that of Manshia, but because he is arrogant, he chose to go to Manshia first. We the people of Akyen Abuakwa traditional area want to let Nana addo knows very well that we acknowledged the disrespect he showed to our Okyehene and his elders in the area, we shall respond to his call in the same measure at the right time coming 2016 election.

Thief, do you think if you tag your countrymen as terrorist, you will be exempted from that tag? You travel and the western world will see you too as a terrorist, because you claimed Ghanaians have that culture. The STUPID things you say to remain in power, will stigmatize all of us, including you. FOOL! Amasa Namoale Thief. Your personal interest in politics is not everyone's interest if you care to know. If another person in politics poses a threat to your present position, it is up to YOU and your GOVERNMENT to work hard and improve on the LIVING CONDITION of GHANAIANS, and not to resort to this SENSELESS INSULTS. Fellow Ghanaians, BBC NEWS!!! here, is also known as AMASA NAMOALE, a PARLIAMENTARIAN. He spends most of the time he should use in performing his PARLIAMENTARY DUTIES to PROMOTE HATRED and TRIBAL POLITICS. He does not deserve to be in PARLIAMENT. Which Gas are waiting for what? Count the sensible ones like me out. Amasa JULOR k3 MANJWALOR.

some people dont realize outspoken people like sir john and ken agyapong dont need some position or party post to build their careers or remain influential . All they need to do is continue speaking the truth and defending the interests of the Akan people and they will remain bigger and better than any fake pepeni president sitting in the flagstaff house . let the fight for justice continue , forward ever backward never the propaganda smears , lies from the engine room of the ndc will never take root as he who feels it knows the truth . we must prepare our people well to overthrow this corrupt ,racist tribalistic anti Akan oligarchy in a revolution of blood . In the NDC the only way to build one's career is the secretly promote hatred of the Akans and facilitate the division among the various tribes of the Akan exploiting on the differences and undermining the natural desire for development and progress.This phenomenon we see with some of the Gas like the mp namoale openly showing his hate here in the hope that he will get a ministerial appointment so he can continue in his extremely corrupt ways like before . the election engineer mathematics goes like this , the Akans are highly democratic in culture and as such will always exist a difference in opinion and divisions so to exploit that they take court idiots and clowns like yaw boateng gyan and gen mosquito and give them empty posts with no real power to chip off on the unity . then use the ahwois with hannah tetteh none who are even Fantis to facilitate divisions among the fantis and mislead the western and central regions. they then work on creating a political atmosphere and climate which says that ewes and northerners must be dominant everywhere as only they have the right to rule over the Akans and can be trusted not to betray the anti Akan agenda . A house divided can never stand this the root cause why NDC can never pool together the potential of the nation to effect sustainable development as without unity there can only be corruption and retrogression . in their so called winning strategy are the elements of their continuous failure as there is no true justice for the people , ultimately and paradoxically they dont see its their own people that will suffer the most and eventually disappear for the face of this planet as if they never were . Long live the republic of Akan

WILFULLY BLIND OR JUST PLAIN IGNORANCE?

I have been amused, and somehow puzzled, at the rumpus being raised about what crazed Agyapong said. But what I find surprising is the virtual hypocrisy and mendacious attempts to brush this issue under the carpet by some linked to the NPP as just a one off aberration. These people pretend or do not seem to know that Agyapong’s threats were not the first admonishing the killing of Ewes, something the readily available facts testify to. Facts I have been referring to from 1994 in cyberspace, recounting my own personal experiences with some of those advocates of Ewe killers in Nigeria during the early years of the PNDC. Of course, I have not as yet told the full story. But as Fela said, “I no kpata de finish!”

Hmm! As I found out when I was insulted “basabasa” by a man who turned out to be one of my many uncles, when I apparently misspoke on the hike in petrol prices in the 1993 budget, (on a bus from Anloga to Dzelukope in 1993), for being mistaken for a Quashiga hireling who had joined the “Eblutorwo” (Akans) preparing to come and kill them, my people back home were fully prepared and waiting for us quislings to start the attacks; I was assured. That was long before anyone heard of Justice Kpega as a political pundit! Phew! Me, a die-hard Nkrumaist in league with NPP assassins, to go and kill my fellow Anlos over whom my own forebears had ruled for centuries? Well, after all, it was in Lome, an Ewe centrepiece city even if many are of Ga-Anyi extraction, that they first congregated and started those lose talks against Ewes, thus forcing most Ewes in exile opposed to the PNDC to abandon the opposition to the PNDC and the anti-Ewe bent it had taken. So, many of us Ewes knew about their evil intents a long time ago, as they were eating our akple and fetridetsi and planning it in our kinsmen homes! Hardly any of them knew that much of the land of Lome is owned by people from Aflao and environs. Ignorant morons come in all shapes, you know. They were lucky no one poisoned them in Lome.:-)

Equally, I have read opponents to Agyapong’s utterances, including some Ewes, made some false and misleading statements, which shows that they are ignorant of the facts of the origins of the ethnic imbroglio in Ghana, despite my persistent efforts and write-ups sketching that sordid history, from the pre-colonial to the post-independence era. I read someone situated in the 1979 elections period Victor Owusu’s scathing attacks on Ewes as “inward-looking” during the exchanges with Dr Agama in Parliament after the Apollo 586 sacking of mostly Ewes by the Busia regime which was overthrown in Jan. 1972!

Ignorance and superstition are recognised as key cogs in the vicious cycle of backwardness that is our lot as developing people but the extent most so-called educated Ghanaians wallow in these two inhibiting traits is just stupendous and disheartening!

Many try to claim that Rawlings introduced tribalism into Ghana by employing predominantly Ewes into sensitive public posts, especially the security sector; whereas the same claims of Ewe domination of posts had already been used effectively against Gbedema’s NAL by Busia’s Progress Party during the 1969 General Elections, as I had quoted from Dennis Austin’s book “Ghana Observed” but something all grown-ups at the time knew about. It was therefore unfortunate, that the late Prof Adu Boahen, as a historian who knew or ought to know better, fed into these fabrications of Ewe dominance, creating his own when he reportedly claimed in a British Council lecture in the 1980s that Prof. Akilagpa Sawyerr, a Ga who was given the VC post which he thought he deserved at the time, was an Ewe, and promised in his interview granted to Mahoney and his Africa Watch magazine to redress the presumed ethnic disparity when the NPP was elected into office. To me and many discerning Ewes, especially the Ewe elite, it was all déjà vu. But I was still surprised to find out that some decade long opponents of the PNDC voted for the NDC in 1992! It would not even surprise me if someone who knew Justice Kpegah’s political views very well in the 1980s came out to say that he was an arch-enemy of the PNDC in the Bar Association. I was visiting Ho in 1990 when the people of the VR angrily rejected the no party idea that the PNDC was then lobbying for, effectively halting the campaign for it. Those in B/A had already voted yes.

Yes! The NPP had itself to blame for their dismal reception in the VR, as they lost the plot with their tribal agenda reminiscent of the 1969 campaign. In Accra, they lost a lot of Ga support when the same Prof Adu Boahen at a rally, in trying to whip the anti-Ewe venom made that gaffe about Gas being pushed by the PNDC to be sleeping 10 persons to a room, after many of the main speakers had spoken in Twi! In 2000, they (NPP) won simply because of JJ’s unwholesome Swedru Declaration and the disrespectful Obed Asamoah led attempts to impose sitting candidates on their constituents, which nearly got him beaten at Dzelukope/Keta. Even my own Anlo Constituency voted for an independent linked to the NDC but not the NDC official candidate who was the re-imposed incumbent!

Fact is, I have been aware, just as many other people, since the early 1980s of various threats by some Akans opposed to the PNDC to have Ewes killed and had written about that many, many times on Okyeame and SIL. Perhaps, adding Gas to those to be killed is just the new dimension added by Agyapong, since it appeared, this time, the Gas, in Agyapong's warped mind, had acted in prosecuting the "Ewe agenda" by beating up Ursula on behalf of the Ewes! Well, warped minds think in strange, circular terms!

After all, the threats were so opened and so rampant that one Ewe, the late Dr Kodzi who died here in London in exile, pointed out the "Anlo-Ewes” in his own virulently anti-Rawlings PNDC book, "Ghana: Worse than Apartheid S. Africa," as the Ewes to be killed, for being the culprits of the complaints and angst of the Akans! That was long before anyone heard of Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe and his renewed “war” on “Anlo-Ewes,” a war his ancestor joined the Akyem Gen. Dompey to fight in "Krepi" against the Asantes and their allies and lost way back in the 1860s and got stranded there, lucky enough not to have been killed like others. That’s another story I had re-told elsewhere and needs a re-visit soon in order to let the populace know what makes bozos like Ahoofe tick. For a man, (I mean Dr Kodzi, not the jerk Ahoofe) who, due to his sterling stewardship when in charge of the Keta Govt Hospital, was much beloved by Anlos, regarded as an hononary Anlo and entrusted with pouring the libation at the Hogbeza celebration of the Noviha group here in London, that was something to write! How could he be sure that the would-be killers would not mistake him for an Anlo man, in spite of the pain he took to identify the other Ewe groups in his book? Well, the failure of the so-called Ewe elite - academic and traditional and the political - to deal rationally with this animus against Ewes is itself an intra-Ewe shambolic intellectual failure I shall deal with by and by. I have right here on my table the rantings of some other Ewes from northern Eweland, or Ewedome, as we Anlos refer to the area referred to by Europeans as Krepi, against the PNDC and Anlos in particular which I have not even as yet dealt with in my writings.

I must, however, make exception here, as Prof. Kofi Awoonor’s much distorted and maligned prison book (in league with Soyinka’s The Man Died) is probably the first book by a Ghanaian which tried to explain the tribal imbroglio and to point the way forward. His only mistake was that he fell prey to the standard Western simplistic, linear and reductionist methodology of reducing what is without doubt a complex articulation of interests and forces which cut across the ethnic divide with people from all ethnic groups found in both or all contesting camps for political ascendancy, or “hegemony”, as he put it, in Ghana. So, for instance, those who imprisoned him for helping Brig. Kattah to escape to Togo were not only “Akans/Asantes” but included Ewes, Gas, Gonjas, etc., as Kutu’s NRC comprised a cross-section of Ghanaian ethnic groups. And some members of other ethnic groups supported Busia and demonization of the Ewes, not only Asantes or Akans alone.

You have to be wilfully blind or totally ignorant of what has been happening in the opposition to the P/NDC camp in order to claim today that you are not aware of talk of and even attempts to foment what would have become an ethnic war in Ghana prior to 1992. I personally had to intervene and quelled a serious fracas on Okyeame between two well known non-Ewes when the “brave Asantes” were queried again by a non-Asante why they could not deal with the apparently Ewe P/NDC which allegedly committed atrocities on they Akans only, I suppose. I bet many can remember J.H Mensah's arrest in America for allegedly attempting to buy weapons to prosecute their “liberation war” to get their country back. It is no wonder the NPP gurus, many of whom shared in those nefarious ideas, talked about it, plotted to carry it, etc., are finding it very hard to distance themselves from this public utterance of it again. How can they desert their fellow journey man, without being double hypocrites? At least, there must be some honour among thieves!

There are many questions to ask and many issues to take up. Had my PC not kaput and eventually leading to the loss of a huge part of what I had painstakingly written with references while in Norway with additions in London, my intended book taking up those issues would have been out years ago.

Incidentally, my next intended article after writing "How Some "Ewes" Became a Part of Ghana" is titled "Who Are the Ewes". It is just a revisit to my first ever post to a cyber forum in early 1994, Okyeame precisely, which Azar should remember so well, as in spite of my providing a reference, he still challenged me to give that! It was sent as my contribution, incidentally, to another NPP instigated scare against poor but hard working Ewe and Ada fishing cum farming pioneers (won't call them settlers) displaced by the effects of the Akosombo Dam on the neglected downstream people who opened up the mosquito infested and disease-ridden Afram Plains. The claim was that the NDC wanted to carve a district for them there and thereby claim the land for them! Wives and children were hastily sent home in order to keep them out of harm’s way in the event of attacks on the communities. That was when I decided not to sit any longer on the fence, just like the majority of my fellow educated Ewes, who think responding to such attacks on Ewes is beneath them, since madmen, "dzimakplawo" and "gbemelawo" were responsible! That was the common “wisdom” repeated by Rawlings at Tsiame, when he was queried by the worried chiefs and people about the ongoing Ewe demonization in the opposition media and political platforms in the ‘90s.

Gratuitous counter abuse, especially directed at Asantes ad nauseam, is not the way to tackle the issues, as some are presently doing on Ghanaweb. In the ‘90s, the Ghanaian stage was left to a novice like Komla Dumor to deal with on Myjoyonline with his “Ayigbe Jokes” series., which horrified and mortified me when I first listened to it online in 1997 or so. A programme like that would have found him and Myjoyonline foul of the Anti-Vilification Laws of any of the Western Europe countries and sanctioned appropriately. I doubt though whether half of our “honourable” MPs have heard of such a law, but that is the way we must go and huge revision of the school curricula. But that calls for another article.

Well, simply, many do not know how to deal with the madmen who repeatedly take their loins cloth while in the bath house! I know how! After all, I know the story of how the Anloga man dealt with the mad man of Tegbi and remained sane; the mad man who used to way lay the “asisiawo” - the market women - from the Keta market with a club and the question: axor a ava lo, alo axor a ekpo?, i.e., do you want penis or do you want club? And one day he raped and killed the heavily pregnant wife of the Anloga man. Of course, it is a taboo to deal with mad men in our society.

Ahoofe and his ilk’s tribalistic insults directed at Anlo-Ewes in particular and Agyapong's call to mayhem can be placed in perspective if you are informed about their origins. They used the tribal card so well in 1969 and think they can continue using it forever. No! Some of us decided long ago that ourselves and children shall not remain objects of demonization and vilification for the political objectives of some people who are still suffering from the mental warpedness that the slave trade had foisted on our ancestors. We shall therefore make sure that these appeal to ethnic differences backfire big time on their stupid faces!

I am therefore re-sending and shall continue re-posting this short piece I had put together especially for the readership of Ghanaweb and shall continue with my series on the Ethnic imbroglio in Ghana. Agyapong's outburst is simply the tip of the canker that permeates our body politic that must be dealt with at its roots. They are not the only Akans who suffer from what I have dubbed “Ewe angst and fears”, which afflict the generality of Akans due to how they are weaned and socialised. What do you expect from people who, as kids, are frightened to drink their Mist Alba, behave themselves or go to bed early with the Ewe bogeyman imagery?

THE ETHNIC IMBROGLIO IN GHANA: THE ORIGINS, PART 1

The tribal imbroglio, rather than starting in recent times, has been brewing for a long, long while now. In fact, the roots of the prejudices and the insults we see some raining on others date back to pre-colonial times. So, any attempt to understand the worrying phenomenon must address the canker from that era. That is what I intend to do, with special focus on the apparent cleavage between Ewes and Akans (and any others). But now, I’d begin with the colonial times. When you hear the cry of lamentation:
Dza le le leeeeeee!
Me zu kluvi
The road to Kontsiabu
Strewn with gold dusts.
Only those without
in their eyes gold dusts
felt the pangs of hunger and thirst…

then you’d know that the time to narrate the doleful tales of the pre-colonial era, where it all began, has arrived; but you’d get a glimpse now.

Not to waste time apportioning blame, the Akans (and Gas, if I may add them), started these tribal abuse and attacks on Ewes many decades ago; nay, centuries back, as I said earlier. But as mentioned above, I won't delve as yet into the pre-colonial times when it was free for all, with even some Ewe states joining in marauding and plundering other Ewe states for the slave markets of the Gold Coast. I had indeed provided a write up on that sordid era on Ghanaweb’s SIL in the 1990s, which is available. One German businessman with biz connections to Ghana who used to read the nonsense on SIL wrote a private mail to me saying that he was always wondering why Africans sold each other into slavery to Europeans and Arabs; reading my detailed historical account enlightened him on how and why it happened for the first time. That story must be re-told all over Africa in other to understand the roots of the conflicts that bedevilled the continent after independence.

In Ghana, the colonial times modern version started after the WW1 when Anlo, Tongu and Peki migrants from within the Gold Coast and those from the newly acquired TVT from the Germans started moving to the Akan and Ga areas to either fish, farm or seek paid employment. Ewes from Togo and Benin Republic (Dahomey) escaping from French repressive rule came later. Some Ewes, esp. the educated ones, also got jobs with the commercial houses and the colonial administration. Some, such as Gbedema and Nkulenu, started their own private businesses. Soon, they were becoming prosperous in their chosen fields and/or rising up in the ranks wherever they were employed due to the usual hard working nature of most migrants. After all, the far superior German missionary vocational educational set up, compared to the British, had equipped them much better with skills in the crafts and building, such as carpentry and masonry, which were in much demand by the colonial authority and the other natives of the Gold Coast and Asante. That was when trouble began and the attacks started, as far back as the 1930s.

Below is a brief quote from S. Greene about how the Fantes started perceiving Anlo-Ewe fisher folk; a perception or prejudice which is not much different from what permeates the Akan ethnic group as a whole up to today (not only a few bigots on Ghanaweb). Ewes find out to our chagrin or amusement, often as a kid, that that was how our fellow country men and women perceive us. The encounter is therefore a personal story too.

Not much has changed in the prejudiced minds of too many Akans, as we daily witness on Ghanaweb, even though many too have developed over the years an obsession or desire to marry Ewe girls, failure which often brought in its wake stories of tribalism heaped against Ewes. As I told some Akan teacher colleagues in Nigeria, it was the scary and “irrational” Akan “wofa” (uncle) inheritance system, stupid! Horrible stories of how Ewe widows were in particular dispossessed and treated shabbily were enough to dissuade any idea of marriage to even a most love besotted Akan man! It is no wonder that, with the interstate law of inheritance in place, marriage to Akan men has been on the increase.

I know an Ewe from the Peki area who swore that it’d never be possible to change the jaundiced perception of Akans of Ewes from his own experiences attending Mpraeso Teacher Training College, and then teaching at Mpraeso and in Kumasi. He said one particular woman - a cook in the school - they used to go to church with wouldn’t believe that he did not have any “akpeledzi” under their bed! I said it was possible and gave an example of my own experiences in Nigeria. I managed to convince my fellow Akan teachers that I don’t indulge nor believe in those things - juju or voodoo or even any god (white or black), and wouldn’t drink “ogogoro” with them – when there is original Gordon’s gin and lime cordial to have – and they somehow lost some “respect”, (or was it fear?) for me. They’d say I wasn’t a proper Anloman and fool around with me!

Between 1982-4, when their Anti-Ewe diatribes had reached fever point and they were advocating massacring Ewes as done to the Ibos in Nigeria who they claimed were also allegedly dominating Nigeria in the 1960s, I thought of putting some fear into them by creating some “kporsi” (“see-and-run”) to scare them. Fact is, practically every smart Ewe knows how to scare Akans and Gas even though they don’t have “foko” (anything), as we say in Anlo but I will keep that out of this write up. Good I didn’t do so, otherwise they’d be giving testimonies up to today about what an Anlo teacher did to them in Nigeria – they’d have packed out and run from their rooms on the ground floor of the storey building we were hiring. I “protected” myself practically by chocking the door handle with a chair, as I had seen in movies, before I went to bed, in order to prevent them from making me the first casualty of their let-us-kill-Ewes mania! Funny some of them even became staunch PNDC supporters, only to change their minds again years later when I met some on a visit to Ghana.

Anyway, enough with the digression into the personal narrative and to Sandra Greene.

From p.148 of Sandra Greene I quote:

"Increased Anlo identification with their northern Ewe-speaking neighbours may have also been enhanced by the experience many had while participating in migrant fishing. After World War I, numerous groups of Anlo men and women traveled to other coastal areas, including the Fante area of the Gold Coast, in order to pursue their commercial fishing activities. For many, this was probably the first time they had traveled outside their home area, and/or to a district where they were a distinct linguistic minority. In these locations, they conducted themselves as they had in their own home villages, but those among whom they come to live - often temporarily, just for the fishing season - came to view the Anlos' prosperity with jealousy and suspicion. Stories circulated that associated the Anlo with "blood-curdling" crimes. R.W. Wyllie indicates, for example, that from at least the 1930s "Fanti [children] learned to view the Anlos as thieves, kidnappers, sorcerers, and ritual murderers." The social tensions that accompany these beliefs - and the very fact that these beliefs were held by a non-Ewe speaking people - must have heightened the Anlo's awareness of their linguistic and cultural background and generated some sense of identification with their Ewe-speaking peoples whom they would have encountered in the Gold Coast."

The encounter with the Gold Coasters was enough to turn any Ewe into a paranoid schizophrenic, developed a siege mentality (become “inward-looking”?) and very resentful towards any idea of union with the Gold Coast, not to mention marry an Akan.

As some of you know, the Anlo area through Tongu to the Peki area had been part of the Gold Coast colony proper, effectively from 1874 though the British “bought” and claimed the area from the Danes in 1850; hence the freedom to move to other parts of the Gold Coast and Asante later. Besides, many southern Ewes are descendants Ga-Adangbe, Elmina and Denkyira fugitives dating back respectively to 1687 when the Akwamus first thrashed the Gas for cutting the “bolobolo” (foreskin) of their prince sent to the Ga Mantse Okai Koi’s court to understudy courtship, and 1700, when the Asantes defeated the Denkyiras and took over Elmina from the Denkyiras. Going back to Ge (Accra) and Sima (Shama) with their new kinsmen was just like returning to the ancestors' land. In fact, it was the descendants of those fugitives who were the first migrants, having maintained links with their ancestral lands during their long period in exile. Reindorf had written about that back and forth movement among the Ga fugitives long ago. That’s how Osu-Anecho came to be founded and how all Ewes got the derogatory epithet “Ayigbe” (Ayi refuse), whether they were descendants of fugitives or not. The “dzulor” bit the Gas added originally referred to the Okai Koi stool regalia which the Ga-Ewes in Togo refused to return to Accra and still claim to be its protectors. Remember the trips with pre-colonial undertones their chiefs made to Ghana when the NPP took over power in 2000?

I can make long comments on the above quote but suffice it to say that it was the beginning and end of the love affair which started as unification with the Gold Coast movement ending up as the drive to secede from the Gold Coast. So we read from the December 6, 1919 edition of the West Africa magazine a letter sent to the colonial government of the Gold Coast:

“We PEOPLE of Togoland, descended from two principal countries, Elmina
(Ane) and Accra (Ge), both of the Gold Coast Colony, ask to have British government because it is the government of our fathers, whose customs are our customs, and a British Colony is half-an-hour distant from us.
We ask to have British government because it is the government of our kith and kin, our race and our tribe.
We ask for British government because of our relationship with our people on the west, which must assert itself..” (culled from West Africa 12-16 Dec. 1994)

And so on it went. One may wonder why the petitioners did not even acknowledge the Ewes, Dagombas, Konkombas, Akans and the host of other ethnic and tribal groups in Togo who also have their “kith and kin” within the Gold Coast and the Northern Territories. I guess this piece of history may come as a surprise to the ingrates who make a living of always reminding us that Ewes come from Togo, some of whom carried a video to Lome to trace the roots of Fiifii Kwetey there, instead of doing so in Accra! Well, he said he was from Nogokpo, which rubbed a sore spot for me, but that’s another story.

THE EWE BACKLASH

By the 1940s, Ewes, Anlos in particular, in the Gold Coast had had enough of the vilification and undeserved demonisation their successes were arousing. The returnee Anes and Ges (Gas), now fused as the Genyi, as Anlos refer to them, through intermarriages, also soon discovered that they were not welcome, or often welcomed with shouts of “Ayigbe dzulor”! Disenchantment set in and secession from Ghana became a far better option. The result was the 1956 plebiscite and the rest is history.

Then come the post Feb 24 1966 coup era, when Busia and his PP turned this traditional vilification of Ewes into a political tool to win the 1969 general elections. It was preceded by an internal struggle within the NLC to share the spoils of office after the coup. An extended quote from Dennis Austin, that great chronicler of Ghana history, captures the gist of it, so here we go:

“A surprising and disagreeable novelty of the election was the extraordinary anti-Ewe sentiment that was express1ed in conversation with many of those who were against Gbedemah and his party. One can explain this strong animus not simply by a dislike of Gbedema’s reappearance in political life but in relations to events after the 1966 coup. Suddenly there were the soldiers and the police, and everyone burst out singing, but when the music died down away it was noticed that the NLC (it seemed) was commanded by minorities: Ewe and Ga. When Ankrah (a Ga), was moved out, and charges were brought over-hastily by Harlley against the Chief of Defence Staff, Michael Otu, the evidence to many was overwhelming. It was all an Ewe plot. Soon Ghana would be run for the benefit of an energetic minority, operating first within the armed forces, and now behind Gbedemah. ‘Appoint an Ewe to a public corporation or to a government department and within a year the entire hierarchy down to the messenger will be an Ewe.’ So the argument ran. And there was always some evidence for it, since the Ewe, deprived of any natural wealth in their own barren region, have been energetic in seizing the opportunities of public employment, including positions in the army and the police, which wealthier communities (like the Akan) did not wish to occupy. In practice, looking through the list of senior officers in government department and the public corporations, the evidence is certainly not clear of any Ewe domination: it could hardly be in view of their number. But a belief does not, of course, have to be true before people hold it fervently.
Now there is an Akan-dominated government of an Akan dominated society. Were I to become, by some improbable chance of fate, leader of the governing party I would be much less apprehensive of my Ewe opponents in front than of the large and expectant following behind. I would be fearful too of the ambitions of those now excluded from power, remembering the Songs of Innocence that:
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caeser’s laurel crown” (D. Austin 1976:125)

Austin was writing with hindsight about what befell Busia’s regime, overthrown in a coup led by an Asante.

In Part 2, I intend to examine the hate campaign against the Ewes and the consequences or reactions from the 1970s which led to Kofi Awoonor’s infamous prison book, The Ghana Revolution, which he claimed he wrote in prison when gaoled for helping Brig. Kattah to escape from Ghana. It’d be necessary to focus on the Ghana Army, from its origins and recruitment trends since it is at the crux of the matter.

Prince, in the first place how many barrels of oil does Ghana get daily from the so called rich much talked oil in Ghana? It is a shame that Ghana gets only 100 thousand barrels a day, and it has become every day talk of oil.

Nigeria gets 2.5 million barrels a day, even with that they do not blow their horns like the Ghana village tribes are doing daily. Villager Prince Kwasi, you need to find out things before vomiting shit out of your mind.

He extended electricity and road developments to those areas and in some parts of western regions like Enchi, Sefwi to reach farmers which former govts have ignored.ndc won their admiration with hard work not tribal sentiments as this ocquaye is propagating.

Nonsense, when you have a gun to your head do you have a choice? He won by playing the tribal card. How can any responsible former president claim to have the tape and evidence of the killers of the Ya Naa yet refuse to release it for the culprits to be punished? What was JJ doing then? Was he not playing the Northeners against the NPP? Who did majority of the businesses JJ destroyed and sold off belong to? Were they not ashanti's?

After 19 years of JJ where did that leave us? Was it not HIPC. JJ never won the north, volta or western region. Voltarians saw JJ as one of their own so identified themselves with his party. JJ overthrew the first legitimately elected Northern president(Liman). Even Idi Amin had followers not because they respected or loved him but because they feared what he would do to them. JJ falls in that category. He was feared but not respected, afterall he was the longest serving dictator in our history who could make people vanish or tied to a stake and shot, what choice did people have? He is a divisive figure who started the tribal politics we are experiencing today.

The point in discussion is if whether JJ actually pitted Northerners, Ewesand others against NPP and Asantes, which is a resounding NO as Auntie Rose mentioned above. NPP has allowed itself to seen as Asante/Akyem Political Party even considering the wrangling within the Party now.

Talking about the Presidents and Vice Presidents that Kofi Adams was foaming at the mouth to explain, it is on record that Kow Nkensen Arkaah was pummeled into the grave by the leadership of the NDC from Volta Region.
During the tenure of Atta Mills, he was also buried by the leadership of the NDC from the North and Volta region.
How come all the Akans from the NDC gov't, who assume the high office die? That is a question Kofi Adams should be answering. Atta Mills was even not accorded the decency of an investigation to ascertain the circumstances leading to, and caused his demise, so steps could be taken to forestall any such occurrence.
The assertion of Prof. Ocquaye that the NDC gov't is anti-Akan, and this has been spearheaded by Jerry John Jeremiah Rawlings is very apt. This fact has not being lost on Ghanaians.
However, that is even not the issue. The very crux of the matter is whether the NDC party and gov't currently led by John Mahama has the ability, competence and the mental acuity to address the crisis that they have willingly plunged the country, and the answer is a resounding NO!!!
There's no semblance of any better Ghana agenda anywhere in Ghana except within their family and friends looting brigade, and going forward the NDC gov't needs to be voted out pronto, to usher in a new team, with the demonstrated ability, track record and vision, to solve the problems, and those are the hardcore uncontestable facts.

1. JJ forced himself on Ghanaians when he staged a coup and took power by force, he was never elected.
2. Miils was forced on NDC by JJ, he was never the people's choice, JJ wanted someone he could control and manipulate and he saw Mills as such.
3. Mahama was a default president which was due to Mill's illness and untimely death.
4. Mahama was first sworn in as the constituition stipulates upon the death of the sitting president not because he was elected, he rode on the back of that to become president.

So Mr Adams, don't come here thumping your chest claiming NDC is nationalistic. Let us see you have people compete for the flagbearer position and not hand picked then we will see if NDC will remain intact after that.

Are these words coming from a Professor and is this the kind of knowledge he professes? God should bless Ghana with people who will never get moved by these divisionist so desperate to win power even if they antagonize every body else but themselves. No body needs to tell them they are the only people who see themselves as more Ghanaian than any body else. We are the electorate and we are watching and listening.

STUPID KOFI ADAMS, ATTAMILLS, JOHN MAHAMA WERE ALL IMPOSED SO SHUT THE FUCK UP....NDC HAS NO FUTURE, AND IT WILL COLLAPSE LIKE A SAND WALL.....The NDC has had leadership from within Volta region, from the Ewe background, from the North and also from the South, with Prof Mills. We have had a Fante being a President. We’ve had indeed three Fantes being Vice President from our stock. We’ve had somebody from the North being a Vice President and we’ve had somebody from the North being a President. We’ve had somebody from the South, Fante, being a President. We’ve had somebody from the Volta also being a President.

NPP believes they have divine right to rule Ghana. This is why they have the impudence to accuse someone of the very wrong they are guilty of.
How can someone say Northerners and Ewes have ganged up against NPP when the NPP's running mate to their presidential candidate in the 2012 election and the former Vice President in the NPP government from 2000-2008 were Northerners?
Neither would it be right to say that, the Ashantis rejected the NDC because NDC lost there because many Ashantis voted for NDC anyway just as how many Voltarians and Northerners voted for NPP.
Elections are like a game; they can be won or lost and so whichever side one's party is after an election, it should not be taken as a 100% endorsement/rejection by the winner/loser. Everybody is free to vote the way he/she thinks right without any apologies.

Ghanaians should understand and know that Akan is not a tribe, so in the first place Prof Ocquaye is wrong either through frustration or just confused mindedness, to have used the Akan issue because Akan is not a tribe.

Prof Ocquaye could have talked of Ashantis, Akyems, Ahantas, Kwahus, Bonos etc to convince us of the facts that he visualised in link to the Northerners and Ewes in relation to the few above mentioned tribes.

Akan is a word uesd just to described or qualify those tribes who have simlarities in their languages that they speak. This never means they are a tribe per say therefore it is very stupid and of less intelligence for any educated Ghanaian to try to use the Akan issue to divide Ghanaians as the NPP have conceived and tried to use on many occaion to draw people of those tribes to vote for them.

No single tribe in Ghana can form a government via democratic process. Thanks to God it will never never be.
Again, Akan is not a tribe period, therefore there is no Akan man, but remember there ia Fante man, Ashanti man, Sefwi man, Akwapim man, a Ga man, An Ewe man, A Dagomba man etc, therefore it is better you guys stop the projection of the primitive backwardness mentality of the use of Akan like it is a tribe. Foolish Ghanaian minds which is fully village oriented of division, hatred, tribalism.

In short, people who spend good time on foolish issues like the foolish Akan issue. Educated but never look like!!!!!!!!!!

My problem is that NDC do not have visionaries like Osagyefo. And most the ministers do not have any knowledge about they to minister. Anyway prz Mahama did not appoint a medical doctor as his Defence minister that is cool.

I thought this ignorant political bigot and zombie was going to be honest enough to say that among the said Fante Presidents and their Vices of the notorious bloody tyrant NDC both were humiliated and finally murdered in the cold.

Akah by the way is not a Fante. In the first time of the history of Ghana's independence a sitting President, Rawlings violently attacked his Vice in a horrible way that led to tearing the coat of the whole Vice into shreds. Akah the first Nzemah Vice President of the NDC was later on attacked and killed a a suspicious hit and run way but till now his killers have never be brought to face justice of the land. That's one of the fesring moment still haunting the psychologically sick Rawlings to ensure indemnity in the national constitution which was drafted whilst he was the imposed President of Ghana.

Just like Akah, Mills was also suspiciously murdered and his dead body secretly rushed and shamefully dumped at the maternity ward of 37 military hospital to avoid the public attention and to cover the horrific and callous murder of a sitting President.

Kofi, why did you fell short mentioning and explaining the above as to what happened to the so called Southerners Presidents in NDC?

You see,you may fool some of the people some of the time but certainly not all the people all the time.

Definitely time will tell and the true colors of Rawlings and his CIA connection will be exposed!!!

Kofi Adams you are talking like an educated fool just for the sake of cheap politics, This is because your analysis does not make any sense. How can you inpute that because Ya-Na was killed during Kuffour's regime it implies that Kuffour has a hand in it or because you have Atta Mills as President makes NDC a diverse party. Can we also justify that because Atta Mills died under mysterious circumstances NDC is culpable. As a nation i think we should grow out of this tribal nonsense and think of how this country will develop. We all know NDC has always used this tribal card to win votes even though they don't have the competency to govern this country.

During the 1969 electionS, DR. K.A Busia did not winone in the Volta regon because he is from Brong Ahafo region. They voted for the National Alliance of Liberals simple because he is from Volta region. This same people went round to say that Busia did not appoint a minister from their region.But in 1969 only MPS were appointed as ministers and he did get one MP from there so how can he appoint a minister from there?

Kofi Adams is just so stupid by his "Akyem and part of Twi". We have such animals parading as human beings in Ghana. He is so inward looking he does not realize Prof Oquaye is neither Akyem nor "Twi". Jerry Rawlings turned the Fanti Vice president Arkaah into a punching bag and tore his suit of his small body. The NDC held the ailing Fanti President Atta Mills hostage. Took cover behind his dying soul and weak mental fortitude to steal the Ghana tax-payers money through dubious judgement debts, inflated contracts, inflated embrear aircraft prices and finally dispatched him to the other world when they believed Atta Mills had outlived his usefulness to their cause. The same faith is awaiting Amissa-Arthur and we the Fantes are watching to see what the NDC will do next. The should not deceive themselves in thinking we the fantes consider the Ahwois as Fantes. They are not. They are Sefwis
