These are the tribal hustlers .
Saying that he'll promote Ashanti-Ewe amity does not presuppose (he means) there's Ashanti-Ewe enmity! You need not be an enemy of someone before you can establish amity with that person!
Konkoti the news caption means there is Ashanti-Ewe enmity and need to be condemn. for that reason the notion is totally wrong. Why not say "I will promote Ashanti-Ewe relations or link" which rather means there exist some go ...

Countries establish friendship and other kinds of relations all the time with others. Does that presuppose prior enmity between such countries? Some of you are too foolish.
Ghanaians want a society in the 21st century not fake ass bullshit megalomaniac leadership. Thanks to JJ and hegemony /tribalism we are divided and do not waste your energy trying to unite us like Mills did but rather respect ...

Osei Tutu aka Kawku Dua is such a useless partisan leader to such an extent that with him Togbe Afede can never achieve any goal.
Why now Togbe? Did Kojo Tsikata,Rawlings,Ayohodo,Gbedema,etc,etc approve of your mission?
This togbe is the most useless Ewe leader I haveever hear speak. If you dont know what to say in order to get promotion, then dont talk. Stupid man. I wish his people will depose him.
Smith,I'm really sad for your hash words towards Togbe Afede.what's the chief said is most important issue at hand and because most of us don't think out of the box taught it is just rubbish No.,since 1992 to 2016 we have con ...

He is a stooge and a dummy designed by the Akan people to bring the ewe state under their control. Ask him if he has finished uniting the ewe land. He is bad company! and a threat to the ewe people. confusionist.
You're a fuccking illiterate. Where did he say there was Ashanti-Ewe enmity?
"Amity" means friendship, harmony.
Good to know that this man is coming to his senses. Wasn't he the guy who said that Kufuor's government made Ewes feel like foreigners in Ghana? He made that remark a few days after the Atta-Mills came to power when he met th ...

You are the wisest person I've read so far on. Ghanaweb
Thanks. I think your posting makes a lot of sense.
Yaw, let's be real. You're not a stranger in Ghana or on this site. You don't see the vernom and vile directed at each other?
Of course there's dislike or at least it seems there is "something going on" as Trump will say.
Is all band talk
Sounding reasonable and concern about the plight of ordinary Ghanaians. I hope this Ewe- Ashanti problem will be resolved for the unity and progress of ghana. It is the work of evil politicians led by JJ.
Do you really believe that there is a friction between your people and Ashanits and what was the root cause? Now, you know there is an Ewe enclave in the heart of the Ashanti capital known as "Anloga Town" and have you recei ...

Akoa yi anisu biri no anaa?(the togbe)
Honestly, i would say about 90% of asantes don't even think about ewes or have any ill intentions towards them. However for some odd reasons it is almost as if 90% of ewes have something against asantes. It is very odd.
Who care about how Asantes think? Afterall Ashantis are not as important as the Greeks who invented democracy and science or the Chinese who had great ancient technology. All that asante has done was to sell slaves and cut hu ...

Why spew statiscal data without conducting any scientific enquiry? What's your basis for the 90%? Pls, let's live above these unfounded assertions and start thinking as global citizens rather than along tribal/ethnic lines.
The ordinary Ewe man like me does not have any problem with Ashantis. It is people like James Akpo who create a semblance of enmity between the two tribes for their own parochial reasons

Ashantis are one of the hospitable tribes in Ghana and very accepting of others. These enclaves, Fante New Town and Anloga etc did not happen by accident.
As it was with the descendants of Joseph when they were given permission to settle in Goshen in Egypt so it is with other tribes who chose to settle in the Ashanti Kingdom and enjoy its hospitality. Hence the ethnic settlemen ...

Brilliant comment. Your example of Kofi Awoonor is so vivid. He met his death on a foreign land, Kenya; and moreso, through gunfire during an Al Shabaab attack.

At least he's more honourable than your so call otumfour. The only problem was that he spoke to illiterates who only know to insult
Tobge is right in he political realm,but not social.
No more hate speech people. We in Ghana often take our peace and unity for granted. We should guard against undoing the great work our founding politicians did in this regard.

Who is more envious and primitive than majority of akans? Stop glorifying yourself. Ewes dont even remember you exist. Tame your imagination! its gone berserk.
just pretending to be one of the NPP! what a typical ewe opportunist! ewes are simply hateful people and there's no way we Akans can live with such people in Ghana!
Nana, about 70% of ewe men in the Ashanti region are married to Asante women.
It is well noted that the Ewes train their kids very well to respect their elders.
What do we see today ?
70% of the babies with sharp teeth are Ewes.

This chief from the day he was enstooled has always been tactical because he has a lot of business interest and must move with the wind of change hence his appeal through the Ashanti king.
Be careful Togbes, The Ashantis don't want to see your head. Akuffo Addo is able to close his eyes against you .
This kind of speech Ghanaians need. We are one people and we have have to live in peace and harmony with other, God bless Ghana, ayikoo Nana.
