The truth is that, the appointment must be on merit and not his area of origin. In Ghana appointments are on tribal and political lines. Mahama has more than half of his appointments favouring the 3 nor ...

Mr. Dei spoke in vacuum. Let him tell us where he got his data and facts from.
Just accusing the President is meaningless.
three regions out of ten....scholarships, ambassadors, board members, ministers, deputies, appointments, etc
Akua Donkor is far-far-far better than the always sleeping dog Nana Akuffo Addo.as for your Nana everywhere he goes he will either fall down or sleep,stop featuring this tired oldman in the news.
Do you know the north of Ghana well? How many tribes are there? For some of you the north is Tamale, or Bolga, or Yendi, or Navrongo or Lawra. Do you know the different type of people living in the north? Mahama is a Gonja, w ...

How can we sit down for minority to control the majority. It is only in Ghana that this can happen. The Okyenhene pointed it out and he was insulted.
There is no need for insults. Let the government publish the list for all to see. Simple.
It must include chairs of boards, members, etc.
I can't even name five ministers from the north
Bro.this young Minister does not talk in vacuum,I can assure u even without listening to him that,he has his facts up his sleeves. He is one of the brilliant young chaps one can be proud of,he speaks with clarity, facts n f ...

The truth is bitter and painful to swallow but it is the truth. We have eyes, and ears and we Ghanaians know better and who is spealing the truth. The truth is that the Professor is right.
The truth is that NDC brings growth and development

Ofosu kwakye must grow in politics, if is not true then come out with the figures to convince Ghanaians.
Let's look at the numbers at the highest level to see if an apology is warranted. I defined "Mahama's area" as the northern/upper regions. Here are the results:
Cabinet Ministers 5 out of 20 (25%)

There are more qualified persons in other regions than those square pegs he puts in round holes. That is the very reason the economy is shattered.
can you please do the same analysis for the kuffour government and define the area for kuffour as Ashanti/Eastern/Brong Ahafo and compare it to that of Mahama's government.
Thank you for this wonderful challenge. You combined three regions. But Kuffour's time this percentages were higher and from only Ashanti region. Four legs good two legs bad.
Perfect. So 5 cabinet ministers from three regions with about 30% of Ghana's population is bad enough to be described as nepotism? This is exactly why the professor must come out and apologize for going tribal or ethnic. A pr ...

Professor, one out of four Ghanaians is from the Northern part of Ghana, not necessarily resident there. Check your statistics once again MATH PROFESSOR.
you left out scholarships, board members, ambassadors, presidential staff

If it is true why should he apologise and

It is not true. No data was provided to substantiate his claim. It was just the jaundiced view of some of these arrogant elites.
When was apology required for speaking the truth.

Why do these presidential assistants assume every other Ghanaian exept them is an idiot? Prof. Adei has made a factual statement and why must he apologise for speaking the truth?
Prove Prof. Adei wrong, by giving the right numbers. Prof. Adei may have been even charitable. When it comes to other government appointments at lower levels, the results will shock most Ghanaians.
You are a disgrace to the intellectual class. Sometimes you wonder where and how such people became Professors.
WHY DO THESE NDC PEOPLE DEFENDS BLINDLY? THE PRESIDENT TOLD GHANAIANS THAT, HE IS A DEAD SHEEP 'OGUAN FUN'. WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE DO ABOUT IT? DO YOU KNOW THAT, IT WAS A VERY BIG INSULT TO GHANAIANS? THAT DEPICTS THAT, HE HAS N ...

Professor Adjei has disgrace his profession it is better for him to stay away from politics. What lecture again stupid fool with strange looking face like a beast.
Ask him to prove his assertion but not to apologise. May be there is an aorta of truth in his assettion
Rule 1. The father is always right
Rule 2. If the father is wrong see rule 1
Our Government officials can't be serious. It's mind boggling that the Government has time on its hands to demand an apology from someone expressing his point of view, when there are major management issues to contend with.
So how many appointments from the presidents area will make it right and not be labelled as nepotism.
If the appointees are qualified then where comes in the label of nepotism?

You seem ti agree that Mahama is doing tribalism and you offer an equaliser from Kufuor. What about

Oh! Ghana, anyone who doesn't say what you like is an enemy.
Watch closely the structuring of his mouth, and you will never be worried about how he talks foolishly. A bushman disposition he has.
