Kindly remind me when & where (I think I missed that remarks if he did) did the writer Paa Appiah (which Paa Appiah?)made such accusation on the Black Stars coach.
I also think that we all 99% were proud to have a Black Star coach like Akwasi Appiah (a name sake?) after that onyibo gold-seeker refugee coach for our proud national Black Stars.
Facts or bash me with whatever back on me!!
I have my bomb-proof vest on already!!!

If you want to see tribalism, look at the president's appointees. Now that is what we call tribalism.

Why are Ashantis being hated all out these days. They even sometimes classify only Ashantis as Akans. Look the Kwahus, Akyem, Fantis, Sehwi, Brong, Akwapims and Akwamus and many others are all Akans. Look if the Akans would think twice they should try to realised that people are begining to Hate us and this will not wash because we are not tribalism and always welcome everybody. The problem is that, people rather see us above them and therefore they are suffering from inferiority complex. We respect everybody and we welcome everybody. We don't say my "bro". If you are my Bro and i can move with you so be it. Why all these nasty talks. Please leave us alone before it triggers.

Sista Grace thanks & keep that precious wisdom & faith of yours intact.
Downtown in Ghana is very different as online here on this forum.
Business goes on tribally-blind as usual in Ghana, but in the worldwideweb media nowadays; it's really a heart-breaking issue.

Some body tell me? Is A[ppiah the most qualified Ghanaian to be BS coach? On what criteria was he appointed? Before being appointed as BS assistant coach where was he and what work was he doing? What are his qualifications for the job. In which part of the world would you appoint a coach before sending him on course to go and learn to coach. These are our concerns not tribalism. The man is pure incompetent whether he is Guan, Jew or Gao.

That's not the issue at stake. People are accusing the coach of tribalism and we want to hear your comments on that. Period.

what a. appiah ( his name in small letters intentional) and GFA did to ghanaians is disgusting and more than tribal attributes. i see tribalism in all the operations of the GFA and the national team. first, coach Sellas T. ( with greatest of respect) qualified Ghana for the first round of the 2010 world cup qualifications, won the under 20 world cup, served as an assistant black stars coach for several years. this is a man has been tried and tested, but he was ignored bitterly on tribal grounds. what is appiah's record? would you say frank rijcard is not a good becos he has not succeded elsewhere? no, his record is there at barca for everyone to see. he built a strong barca squad that still continues to conquer the world.

Nobody who is a true Ghanaian would be happy with the outcome of Bs performance, especially in their penalty shootouts. This in no way make AP a tribalist. Some people have had the view that all people with Akan names are Asante people and possibly must be hated. People for instance take me to be an Asante man which I do not care. I have a friend in Ghana who is called Baah but his parents are all Dagomba people.
Let us be more united and stop the villification of one tribe after the other. Does one's tribe make a person more human than others?

THE USE OF TRIBALISM IN THIS WRITE-UP MEANS AKANS, NOT ONLY ASHANTIS, OUTNUMBER PLAYERS OF OTHER TRIBES, AND THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE IN GHANA FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL.

DO NOT LIMIT JAMES AKWASI APPIAH'S TRIBALISM TO ASHANTIS ONLY.

THE PLAIN TRUTH AND PROBLEM IS TRIBAL BIGOTRY IN GHANA HAS BEEN AROUND FOR TOO LONG TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR COLLECTIVE WELLBEING.

He probably thought every Akan name was an Ashanti man.

Yousef Munayyer just wrote a column on trinyg to find a more apt term than Occupation. He suggests Zionist Apartheid :The most apt description for this situation is Zionist Apartheid. The ‘Zionist’ modifier is crucial because it differentiates between the situation in Israel/Palestine and Afrikaaner Apartheid. In both cases, systems of human rights abuses and an unequal distribution of rights were used to ensure a particular group remained politically empowered throughout the territory controlled by the state. Yet both cases also have unique characteristics. For example, South Africa's Apartheid regime did not back an active settlement program to implant white colonists in the black homelands’.Apartheid corrects the misleading connotations of occupation because it appropriately conveys the entrenched reality of the Israeli presence in Palestinian territory and the effective control the Israeli government consistently exercises over the totality of the territory from the river to the sea. This is ultimately one integrated and interconnected regime and must be seen as such.
