    You Ashantes are lucky that you are only persecuted. The best that can be done for Ghana is to exterminate you for the cockroaches that you are. Without Ashantes, there would be no corruption, there would be no cocaine dealin ...

  • Martin 10 years ago

    Did it ever occur to the author that perhaps asante businessmen are crooks and unscrupulous and that's why are the subjects of investigations?

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Martin, not so fast! Just bear in mind that in business, the soul is legality and not morality. I beg to disagree with you, bros.

  • Aduanaba 10 years ago

    You couldn't have said it better. Any business man is out to make a profit, sometimes at the expense of others.It may sound immoral at first thought, but bad business practice, as you well put it, can be reigned in with appro ...

  • Glo 10 years ago

    If this is true, then I am totally against it. Are we sure these indivduals are not being targeted for other reasons apart from being Ashantis?

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    It's just unfortunate. Not only my Ashanti brothers alone suffered from the jackboot and sledgehammer behaviour of the AFRC/PNDC era. Other ethnic groups equally suffered. Mark Coffie was one businessman whose automobile ind ...

    If what is being alleged is true, it is good to tell. You can't talk about the positive things in Ghana when things are going wrong somewhere. This has to be exposed before it happens again.
