FOR HOW LONG ARE WE TO BE WIMPS??? IT IS HIGH TIME WE STAND UP AND SPEAK THE TRUTH AND DEFEND OURSELVES BOLDLY. THIS IS EVEN A DOCTORED TAPE, IF THEY SAY IT CAME FROM OSAFO MAFO, NO APOLOGIES. WE ARE TIRED OF THAT STUPID TRIBAL NONSENSE. LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE COUNTRY, AT A TIME WE ARE PRODUCING CRUDE OIL. COME ON NDC, GIVE US A BREAK!!!! NDC MUST COME OUT AND PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE MEDICAL STUDENTS GIVEN SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN CUBA. WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN GHANA CAN WIN ELECTION WITHOUT AKAN MAJORITY VOTES???? IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE 80% OF MINISTERS HAVING BEEN CHOSEN FROM TWO MINORITY TRIBES, THEN, AKANS WHO VOTE FOR NDC MUST EXAMINE THEIR HEADS. AKANS ARE NEVER TRIBALISTIC. WE ACCEPT AND HELP OTHER TRIBES WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN OUR MIDST. WE EMPLOY THEM ON OUR LANDS AND IN SOME CASES GIVE THEM FREE LANDS TO SETTLE. IF THEY HATE US AND WANT TO MARGINALISE US, THEN LET US UNITE AS AKANS AND DEFEND OURSELVES. EVERYTIME AKAN, AKAN , AKAN!! BUT AKANS VOTED NDC TO POWER.

They spew senseless tribal comments tothe if family members and children everyday to the extent that, they become immune to it and end up spewing it in public, forgetting that others in Ghana are not tribal pigs like themselves.

Can u imagine Osafo Maafo stating that other countries in the world vote for majorities? That's the height of unintelligence. Is US not being ruled by a black man? Does he know where Putin hails from? What about Mugabe, Zuma, Angela Mikel? Does he believe in democracy or chieftaincy?

In any case, those he was addressing were so numb to point out to him that, since independence, there has always been an Akan at the helm of affairs, either as President or a vice. Tribalism indeed makes people extremely stupid and foolish, including pastors, clergymen, illiterates and literates.

I am very sorry for Osafo Marfo, however the alleged tribal bigotry captured on the tape is never different from those of the late Dr. Danquah, Dr. Kwame Okoampah Ahoofe, Nana Addo Danquah, Ken Agyepong who are members of the same political family. Osafo Marfo should be bold and come out to render an apology to those whose sentiments he insulted on the alleged tape. Things will not go well with his image and the entire NPP if the video coverage comes out.

The Dumsor is the issue of National concern not Osafo Marfo's dicta.
A party desperately trying to divert attention from their lapses.

Apology for what?, trust me this is the doing of EWE's no two ways about that masters of propaganda. So far they have been the vociferous leaders in calling for apology. Years after Victor Owusu apologized about his infamous "inward looking", did it change the views of voltarians?. NO!! They planted somebody in that particular meeting and doctored the tape to once again portray NPP as Akan Party, so that they can continue to use the other tribes to their advantage. He owes nobody no apology. You guys can continue to vote for NDC till thy kingdom come. If I were him, I would tell you guys to come and kiss my black ASS period.

We will live with those who wants to live with us peacefully and those who sees us as brothers and sisters will be regarded as such, it doesn't matter where they come from, after all that was how Ashanti was founded. But if you want to insult us, we will give it back to you two folds, if you don't like it, too bad No apologies.

What a stupid statement! The kindest thing I can say to this bigot is to stop digging himself himself deeper into this self-created hole, man up, and admit he said what he said. Only someone who views everything with a tribal bias would bother to find out where any of his work associates and mates come from. When was he at the BHC? What does having a Ga and Ewe secretary prove? He and his party are a disgrace and have revealed their double standards. At least the NDC does admit and apologise for their ill-advised comments. See how much spin the NPP is putting on a statment that we all know pretty much reflects their collective point of view. Tribal morons.

Before it was Asantes, Asantes, Asantes !!! then Asante/Akyems, sante/Akyems, Asante/Akyems now Akans, Akans, Akans!!! It`s really dangerous if NDC believed they can stay in power with such treacherous strategy.
Three weeks into USA invasion in Iraq, Saddam Hussein appeared in a huge crowd on a tape which was shown on National TVs all over the world that the war was over and all American troops are dead before gotten into Iraq. This Osafo Marfo tape must cautiously investigate.
The situation in Ghana has now transformed rapidly within NDC era from tribalism into tribal hatred. The earlier the better, Ghana is a sovereignty of multinational sate if we can`t govern as one nation it will be better to have referendum to go as individual nations.

Osafo Marfo never said he hates northerners or any tribe. For the sake of argument, let's assume that he said what is on the tape, I believe it was out of frustration about the unfair treatment of Akan people particularly the Ashanti's and Akyem people. I am surprised that the other tribe had fell for the Ewes propaganda. Talk about hate for the northerners, it wasn't long ago when they were denied a place to bury one of their own in Volta region and burning their house down. You call that love for the northerners right?. If that was love, then I can imagine your hate for them. You are just a kid who doesn't know shit!.just put your diaper on and go to bed dickhead! !.

Even that statement alone means a lot. Most of my friends are northerners. It is a complete tribal statement to say the least. What are you denying Mr Maarfo? You should be ashamed of yourself. Characters such as you are not fit to be among us.Because of some of you, many innocent people are even ashamed to mention their tribes. Shame on you a thousand time. The NPP will remain in opposition forever. You are a tribal bigot.

Am surprised at the way politicians think they can take us for a ride, when they meet their party faithfuls their behaviour is different but when in public domain they pretend to be caring

Mr Osafo-Marfo, you are using the same pronouncement that white people make when they say something stupid about black people; "some of my best friends are black." You are an old tribal bigot. All your life you have been a tribal bigot and now it has caught up with you. Admit your mistake and begin to heal. The government belongs to all Ghanaians, from the north to the south and everything in between. Go eat a humble pie and apologize.

Would any sane person preach ethnicity or tribalism in a meeting where members of minority ethnic groups were present? Those present as named by the NDC include a "northerner, an Ewe and a Krobo so who thinks he is being smarter than all sane Ghanaians? Fred Agbenyo has just admitted they can "provide" tapes of Akuffo Addo's "secrete bedroom meetings". That is just very instructive as to the dangerous lengths the NDC would go to manufacture or "produce" such tape

Osofo-Maafo is a tribal-ist! Just like all the rac-ist around the world, he uses the stupid lame excuse. Being friends with northerners does not make use any less of a tribalist!
