    i support this but you should try to add the wassa and the upper denkyira to make up the mid west region,

    All divide and rule tactics encouraged by the ndc

  • SAMMY (USA) 10 years ago

    I support this move and the name should be MID WEST REGION which sound good and great.

  • Kwadwo 10 years ago

    This is a very good article to serve the government as a wake up call for sefwi b'cos that region has honestly neglected that region for far too long. Surprisingly about 40% of the natural resources comes from there. NDC wak ...

    Ahafo people too in the Brong Ahafo region want thier own region. They have been pushing for this since JJ time. I do no think government should grant such requests becuase of its implications for Ghana as a country. You reme ...

    In fact,I cannot understand how some people reason.The area in question is Sefwi which is one hundred percent Ghanaian.You wish that it was changed to something foreign.What a shame !

  • Mr. Figure-Out 10 years ago

    No need to ask for new region. Just vote NDC out. We use our Kookoo and gold monies to freely educate those Atinga-Trokosi group through free education and scholarships on the part of the Trokosis but these insatiable ingrate ...

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    Who loses if you don't vote? Should every area be made a region? If your area has been neglected for far too long and you need accelerated development, just put that case across. You have been neglected. Yes, that is true. Wh ...

    IT IS TRUE AND I SUPPORT THIS COURSE EVEN THOUGH AM NOT A SEFWI, MY SON'S MOM IS FROM THERE. YOU HAVE BEEN CHEATED FOR FAR TOO LONG.

  • Ken Ntiamoa 10 years ago

    What if Aowin and Brosa also want to become separate Regions for even quicker development? Ghana as a country, is already too small to have so many Regions, anyway. If you want your area developed, say so. Being a Region and ...

    Yess Sir!I like it.You are the only one who entered through the narrow gate according to the scriptures. Ghanaians were at their best when you corrected them. Always supporting nonsense and mediocrity.

    If regions are created in Northern Ghana to expedite development, then Sefwi needs one. Expensive funerals does not detract from GDP growth. If someone chooses to lay their loved one to rest extravagantly that is none of your ...

    I'm not form Sefwi and I don't know who you are but you the the very people don't think before they talk. Use your head not your stomach! You yourself must be the leader of the witchery.

    Bt insulting NANIAMA have you created the region for the writer? Tell those people there that for once they should stop their ritual murders and see if God will not open a way for them.

  • ALE TSE 10 years ago

    Non sense you are clamouring for a Regional status only to stifle development fighting amongst yourselves on which area to become the Capital

  • good jugdement 10 years ago

    Sefwi, wassa choooooooboeeeeee boeeeeeeee,

  • Carsamer 10 years ago

    thank you for the move and 100% behind you. we need dedicated leaders like ASOGLI, who are selfleness.

  • good jugdement 10 years ago

    I think the leader is making a good point but the fact that he using a tribe as his basis is something I think will give the demand a frowned face. please change your strategy as early as possible. Its my candid advice

  • Ghanaba Paa tee 10 years ago

    The guy is making sense of what he is saying. I have been there in that region before. It look as if they are not part of Ghana, so the gentleman has a case, and for that matter a serious one.

    Matters of this nature will never end. Any area that feels “cheated” will call for a region - and that should not be the way forward. Can you imagine if the all coastal regions call for a certain kind of development other ...
