Oti Region is going to happen whether the Ewes like it or not. Ewes stick to Ho or Keta. The people of North Volta will have their own region. They are the ones who will vote for it. What does NPP care? You won't vote for them anyway. People of Oti Region don't allow Ewe hegemonist from Ho and Keta to stop your aspirations. Forward we move.

Ghanaians gave them 8 yrs but nothing Nana Addo is doing what they couldnt do so where from this "no way" atitude to anything Npp will say? Is it jealousy?

You dont even know what you write, Ashanti region is not the biggest but fourth biggest region, again its a circular region with its capital almost in the middle also consist of a unique tribe, so how can you seperate which from what? B/A was seperated from Ashanti due to long distance for administrative works and with the BRONG having their tribe it became easy and it works perfectly, ndc when NANA ADDO throw one stone your eyes becomes red hahaha jealousy

The people are not subjects of the Ewe chiefs. In the wisdom of the colonial masters, the oti region was administered differently. Please get some education and put the emotions aside

Tina,

I don't support the splitting of the region. That money would be better invested in either Bueman Secondary School toprovide more science laboratory equipments for the students to improve the teaching of science or invested in the Nkwanta Health Center to reduce the levels of Maternal deaths.

Another regin another $5million every year wasted on politicians.

We have no problems the Ewes but the fact is government now considers it vital and no one can stop that.

A bunch of NDC chiefs. You are the reason VORDA failed. You are always looking for hand out from governments and NGOs. When will you do the initiation rather than expecting government or someone to lead initiatives for the development of your region? Provide land or make acquisitions of land in your areas easy for investors. Instead of waiting for government to make you relevant, make yourselves relevant, otherwise you will be relegated to the dust heap of a cultural relic.

Truth be told, most of the comments about the creation of the new region are not well informed. For instance the Ewes are not the majority in the Volta region. When you put all the Guans, the Akans and other tribes together, they are more than the Ewes. The other tribes are not subjects of the Ewes. Unfortunately most people think about the Ewes the Volta region is mentioned. We all need education on this.

Oh. What are we doing to ourselves? Insults won't solve any problem. Let's have intellectual opinions without the insults. It shows immaturity. Now my point is that nobody will lose if the region is split. For those in the ndc, it should be noted that the Volta north had even been voting for them. And for the npp, even when more district were created under ndc, the npp won the most. In my candid opinion, it is not to weaken the region and the Ewe majority stands to lose nothing. After all nobody in the north pays royalty to anybody in the south. We are still one people. In the Ashanti case those who are part of the BA still pay homage to the Ashanti king. If there fore the region is split tradition will go on. So don't be fighting over this.
