BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN USA, PLEASE WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK COS IT WOULD KILL YOU. FROM THE PICTURES, OUR DECEASED BROTHER WAS OVER WEIGHT WHCIH COULD RESULTED TO ALL KINDS OF CADIOVASCULAR DISEASES. PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THE SUSSAGE, BEEF AND PORK AND ALL THE FRIED STUFF.

We lost a friend, brother, father and an uncle. Atinga Frafra is that best you contribute at this stage and time. Shame on you. Death is all over even in your own house.

You are so heartless, I don't you are educated enough to be taught how pay homage to the family who have lost a respected citizen. I wonder where you come from. I wonder your level of education and maturity. You need to learn the basic etiquette of Ghanaian culture. Be courteous enough and express your condolence to the grieving family and loved ones who have lost another family member. Keep your mouth shut, FRAFRAMAN.

His face looks familiar to me but at times, I ponder the relevance and the benefits derived from these associations abroad, other than to extend the legs of tribalism. May he rest in peace!

And an Ewe with an akan and an ewe names. What a confused bunch these ewes and the akan/ewes are. The akans in the eweland have been bullied into believing that they are ewes but they are not. Kwame Ampofo and his akan brothers and sisters are still an akans fron ashanti whether they like it or not.

Perhaps you should have stayed indoors with your lack of Ghana history instead of exposing your ignorance here because you have some fucking computer. Nearly a third of Ewes in Central and northern parts of Volta Region have Akan and corrupted Akan names. You need to educate your stupid self before coming out in public. Oh, and by the way, it is for the same reason the stupid tribal sentiments are unnecessary and foolish.

The "tribal" and regional Associations in the US are more united and more collaborative with one another than the tribes in Ghana. Some of you idiotic dongons have a lot to learn from the strength they show in their unity.

Abu Okyeman Kibi no wonder your Kyebi is the galamsey head quarters(HQ)in Ghana. So you don't know that that apart from the Northerners all the regions in Ghana can be named in accordance to the day of the week they were born? Your stupidity and ignorance has been well exposed by yourself on this forum. Free education would do you good but show respect to your teacher.

U cannot stop coming here bec ur thievery is well exposed. Listen to yourself...What has your unproven assertions got to do with this ? U have the nerve to call somebody a bigot when you do not understand the word bigot!!! I hope you have conducted a survey in Ghana to know the trend of bigotery in the Ghanaian society else you are the ignorant fool calling others as such. Anyone can call others bigots without proof ans such ppl are inherently fat and static in their knowledge and chair..coming close rt? You showed your stupidity by calling me Ayigbe without knowing what Ayigbe menas or which tribe I come from? See how stupid ppl and bigots like you can be??

We need to quit these tribal associations in diaspora which seems to further divide us under the guise of tradition on tribal lines just to win cheap popularity.What do we mean by Ashanti,Brong,Fante,Ewe,Ga etc.associations why can we not come together as Ghanaian/American association or Ghanaian/British association or Ghanaian/German association etc and quit these tribal divide but continue to make the same old mistakes expecting to get new results.We need to encourage inter tribal marriages or cross boarder marriages to help integrate the nation and the world by getting to learn new cultures and traditions.It is forward ever but backwards never.

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY
