Rawlings created Upper West region from the Upper East in 1983 and not Limaan.
True you know our govt is with all ears so your request is justified. I want Wasa Logba to be the capital.
SEFWIMAN EI YEI!. SEFWIMAN EI YEI! Here we come. All the sefwi chiefs should stand up for their people.
All the money going to the north.
My brother,if you think Sefwi is neglected go to Wassa.We have gold,timber,bauxite,mangannese etc yet it is the most neglected part of western region.
At least you have the Ahwoi brothers,(NDC GURUS) who have channeled res ...

Stop talking crap!
My friend neither the NDC nor NPP are saints,the problems is our chiefs have to get smart and search for their interest and destiny for their people both wassa and sefwi people.
It's never long live tribe before a country. It's long live ghana, long live sefwiman, not the other way round.
Just mark this, anywhere NDC has massive support, they don't care about their development. Sefwi man should therefore sit up and hold their party NDC ACCOUNTABLE.....Simple. Requesting for a new region is not the best.

Good job Mr. Addai but you need to get rid of the Chief of Sefwi Bekwai and everything will follow. I suggest we need to educate our people about how to vote.
Is so sad that Sefwi people do not vote for someone with vision. ...

I support you guys. I think the best way for this country is to form a Federal State so each state will use its resources to develop, unlike this present one where the Ayigbe people are stealing all our resources
Yeh. GHANA MY MOTHER LAND FIGHT FOR YOUR REGIONS.
That has always been my agument. This top to down apprach system is not good for Ghana. Lets have federal system with regional government responsible to the local community. We will not put all resources in the hands of the ...

You are right but since the call for federalism is becoming too strident, I support that call. Not even federalism but total break up into our respective tribes. That way, the much-maligned and often-insulted Ewes would stay ...

FEDERAL SYSTEM WILL BE BETTER FOR GHANA.PERIOD.
No. Let each tribe go its own way. We the Ewes can survive on our own.
volta region is the poorest region in the whole of ghana,no resources.
Idiot son of a raped giant she-ape, could you give an example of Ewes stealing your resources?
Just get it straight that we the Ewes can survive without being part of Ghana or when the country breaks up.
l fully support this great move,the chiefs in those areas should be strong and push forward this agenda.l am a son of sefwi and l have been mad for long time how our chiefs have been manipulated for long time.imagine volta re ...

We have one university in Tarkwa - University of Mines and Tech. UMaT
Tell them my friend. A lot of misinformation here and there.
I AM NOT FROM SEFWI,BUT YOU GUYS HAVE GOT ME THINKING DEEPLY ABOUT SEFWI.I SUPPORT YOU 100%, SO TELL YOUR MPs IF THEY CANT FIGHT FOR YOU, GET THE WOMEN ELECTED IN 2016.THEY ARE BETTER FIGHTERS .
The MP for Obuasi need to stand up for development. The place looks like Nima
Maybe you should also fight for Adansi Region as Adae is fighting for Sefwi Region. Regions along Tribal lines? Danger!
This is because Volta Region have stopped the ritual killings and investors are coming. Fool, stay in your bush and continue to kill yourselves and nephews for sikadro.
Continue to live in your own dreams. You will be mistaken to think that the Sefwis are seekers of blood money. They are hardworking people. Know that ritual murder cases in the area always occur in the towns of the community ...

The fight for region is okay but along tribal lines like Sefwi? How about Wasa then?

The most laziest people in Ghana in terms of living in their own land or region I may say is the Sefwi people. Yes the cocoa farms in Sefwi belong to the Ashantis and the Brongs.
I think you are vauge in your analysis,so does that mean most ashantis are lazy because they choose to leave the shores of Ghana to foreign lands?.
Let the fight for Federal Ghana begin!
Yes Federalization Now.
IS IT WHERE THE AHWOIS COME FROM?????????? IF IT IS, THEN THEY SHOULD ASK THE AHWOIS WHY THEIR AREA HAS BEEN NEGLECTED.
Do not talk about the Ahwois. They are useless like the chief of Sefwi Bekwai
The Sewhi people are only being ungrateful to the NDC and the Awhois. Just leave them alone.
I KNOW a lot about Sefwi, we should also think about what we can do. I was born to a fanti daddy and an ewe mum, born in Kumasi , married a man who was half ashanti and half GA. I went to school not even in Sefwi Wiaso...I wo ...

Don't border to answer this idiot. His idiocy surfaces in his writing.
If your brains were money,you will still be in debt.It is obvious your IQ is under your shoes.
Sefwiman Development Association you can break away and go to Afghanistan or Iraq who cares?
Blame your chiefs and the people you vote for during elections to steer the affairs of your area and not the government.
u are stupid mother fucker, without sefwi ghana wil sufa
Do you like Ghana? Why not secede from Ghana? You idiot, you dont know what you want in life!!!
Although,I'm an Ashanti by birth,I had my basic education in Sefwi Wiawso and Sefwi Bibiani before moving up to pursued other education.I must confess that Sefwiman deserves what they are looking for,since it is from this are ...

Why did you give or sell all your lands to the Ashantis and Ewes? I know what am talking about. Encourage your citizens to cultivate the land.
You are right.
Have you stopped the human sacrifice for money and other rituals?
Yes, Sefwi deserves a regional capital
Are you people not ashamed to cry out like this?May be its time you started WAILING, they will hear you.
Oooh Mahama betie mo,,,

Briliant Article? Breakaway along tribal lines is not a briliant idea!
I will say it is brilliant to ask for a share of the national cake but breaking away along tribal lines is not good.
Mr. Boateng, I support total break up of the country so that each tribe can have its own country to either live in poverty or live in prosperity.
That way, no "tribe" from elsewhere can insult others with impunity.
yes we need our onw regional capital
STOP CUTTING HUMAN HEADS AND DEVELOP THAT FUCKING SEFWIMAN
Do you know how many heads your ashanti king cut in a day,at least we cut heads from other infidil in our midst of us than our own.

wonderful idea but let us approach it with tact so that no nation wreckers will exploit it.
There seem to be many Sefwis here. Very many that can come together with great ideas to improve the lot of the people but as usual every Ghanaian thinks everything should come from the Government.
That's exactly our number-one problem as a people and then as a nation.
Every part of the country is crying for infrastructural development, counting from schools to ordinary first-aid clinics. So don't think it is only Sefwi which is in this boat. We are all in the same boat.

The time has come for Sefwis to unite and forge ahead for our fair share of the proceed of the hard earnings of our labour

i m short of words with such an awesome piece....i am 100% percent ready to push for anything positive from SMDA
Dr Liman did not create upper west or devide the Upper Regions, If you are fighting a cause which is of course is very genuine please do that and stop misinforming and making it look like it was a tribal act.
This is a good idea.But be strong and follow it through with all sefwi behind you.Good luck
THE EARLIER THE BETTER FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SEPERATE WESTERN TO BRING DEVELOPMENT AND RETAIN PEACE BECAUSE THE SEFWI ARE READY TO BREAK OUT, NO MATTER WHAT.
Does Sefwiman produce Ivory?, where did the writer get that from??
Ghana now needs federalism so that we can develop. Sefwi let stand united and break the silence.., long ama Ghana!
this shouldn't raise ethnic sentiment after all sefwi has suffered for long.
Start renaming your towns and cities with original names, instead of Sefwi-this, Sefwi-that. The Gomoas too the same thing - Gomoa-Ehyiem, Gomoa-London, Gomoa-Birmingham, etc.
OPANIN ADDAI YOU ARE 100% RIGHT THAT IS WHY I SAY FEDERALISM IS THE ONLY WAY OUT FOR GHANA .SAWHIMAN HAS BEEN IN THE DARK FOR TOO LONG IT'S TIME FOR ACTION.
God is paying you back for always accepting human head for juju in your region.
