If your NPP fOOL called Kennedy Agyepong had not called for Asantes to murder Ewes and Gas, I doubt Haruna Iddrisu would have not brought up this issue.

But what is shocking is that when Kennedy Agyepong called for Gas and Ewes to be murdered in Asante Region and everwhere, non of you BIGOTS had the audacity to rebuke his unwise call for genocide through articles.

So now for the likes of you to be quick to sensationally release such articles in rebuke of the lesser statement in comparison to Kennedy Agyepong's call for genocide confirms your position as stubborn and Bigots.

You guys should rather tell your Kennedy Agyepong to come on air and apologise to Ghanaians because I can foresee this is not going to end.

unlike lazy freeloaders and useless people like your kind, at least the Asante people work to feed their family. You call them shoeshine boys yet you also advocate for all tribes to unite. You truly are stupidity personified. You fools need to becareful before you create enemies for yourselves. Asantes are fun loving people and they always look out for their fellow "Ghanaian" especially abroad,keep pushing them to the wall and you will see what they are capable of. fools like you and your kind are really forcing division in our country and you will live to regret. learn to respect and love yourself first before you criticize people you don't know. I would continue to waste my time on you but it is obvious that you are not human.

I regards to the article, I think Asantes are more fed up with the childishness going on in the country. Instead of our people uniting to bring positive change, they are instead wasting their energy solely on bringing down their fellow Ghanaian just because they are from a different tribe. People forget that right now we are one people with one objective and that is to make Ghana successful. I will urge my fellow Asantes to be patient with some "Ghanaians" for the sake of our nation

Why is selling dog chain a bad thing if you don't have complex?

"An inferiority complex, often used to mean low self-esteem, is a feeling of intense insecurity, inferiority or of not measuring up. An inferiority complex can be seen in the negative or "useless" reactions to problems in life. These reactions are useless because they do not solve the problem at hand, but only serve to guard one's self-esteem by avoiding the task or by placing the blame for the failure outside of the individual's control. Although the inferiority complex may be seen as comparing individuals or groups as one being superior to another, it more closely describes how one deals with a fear of failure"

Indeed, "Laryeah" is just a moniker for a most ignorant Asante who has no clue about how closely the Gas and Ewes are related and are intermixed, having lived together at one stage in a walled city in Nigeria before migrating to Ghana and then migrating again to intermix with each other again, from Ada Foah to Anexo in Togo. That's why we have a suburb of Anloga known as Lashibi, being the area given to them to settle at over 300 years ago, and southern Togolese "Ewes" became known as Genyi, i.e., Ga-Anyi, people to Anlos, due to high number of Ga and Anyi fugitives from Akwamu and Asante wars respectively that settled there and founded towns like Anexo and Glidzi. Even Denkyera fugitives are part of the people of Tongu now, settled around where JJ has his house. In fact, the Okai Koi stool of the Gas is in Togo, while the head of Okai Koi is probably still with the Akwamus. Agotime Kpetoe people are dominated by the large proportion of Ga-Adangme among them, thus even providing the chief of the area. You cross over to Ada and you'd find that the majority of Adas are actually on lands originally settled by the Agaves, frontrunners of the migrating Anlos or Dogbos. Read C.O.C. Amate's virulently anti-Anlo book, The Making of Ada,Woeli Publishers, Accra New Town, but he couldn't even deny that fact! He even wrote about how the Adas dishonestly tricked their hosts in order to get hold of the Songhor lagoon and supported the Agaves from bringing the Anlo war fetish to Anloga (they brought it later through the help of Akwamu, thus sealing the friendship b/n Anlo and Akwamu, Anlos having helped Akonnor to succeed to the throne earlier), and he he tried to argue that the Anlos just used to attack the Adas for no offence caused to them??? The time has come to narrate the truths about our past and put all those haughty posturings and bragging aside. I have been ready since the 1990s. Hope you blokes are also prepared for some home truths, as the afisems shall be broken.

You seem to live in the past with your distorted historical record. The evidence on the ground does not support aqll the nonsense you are spewing here.

If the Ewes conquered the Asantes as you want your illiterate tribesmen to believe, how come the people of Nkwanta, Jasikan, Buem and other Akan areas in Volta do not pay homage to Ewe chiefs in Volta region but to Asante Chiefs?

How come the arable lands of Afram plains in Eastern region that used to be part of Volta region belongs to Kumawuhene?

Ewes have no control over Akan lands in Volta region and if the history you aqre talking about was to be true, the Akan people in Volta region would have beenasked to pay royalties on the land they are living on to whoever conquered the Asantes and gave them that land to live on. Ask your stupid self why the people in Nkwanta and Jasikan pay homage to Asantehene and not Awomefia.

The final defeat of the Asantes in the VR littoral came with the Sagrenti War. Had it not been for the British, the Akans would have been wiped out from the VR. Where they are now, btw, is not Ewe territory but Buem and tribes territory. Buem and those tribes are not Ewes. In any case, the peace agreement signed precludes the Asantehene from claiming any suzerainty over that area and what is happening now is an anomaly. My own great, great, grandfather was present in prime when those agreements were forged at Dzelukope in 1974. I've the evidence in a sketch I can let you have.

The Ashanti bash is and hatred is caused by ewes to divert our attention to tribal conflict, while they steal our resources.
Now every ewe in Ghana is rich and I mean rich from stealing our resources.
Hatred poured on Ashanti's is propagated by these evil ewes. Get to every position in Ghana it's occupied by an ewe. You put an Akan man there and they kill him. Now ewes in Ghana are the new millionaires and not that they acquire it through hard work but by stealing from the poor and killing their hausa, ga friends.
Ewe's are using these Ashanti propaganda to tarnish their image but no matter what. You can never take away the fact that God made an Ashanti and also made the Ewe. No one can deprive anyone from being what he is. However, if you are not satisfied being whom you are and fell a little skirmish please, ask your creator. Ashanti's have nothing to do with it.
Go to Kumasi and see how many ethnic groups live side by side in peace and harmony.
Ken Agyapong assertion should attest that, real Asante's are peace loving but the self acclaimed Asante's are the trouble makers and he is not an Asante but a northerner raised in Ashanti region.
Is it then not funny he will call Asanti's to kill his very own people.
Ghana is indeed sitting on a boiling put and about to crack. Woe be unto anyone that caused a crack on the pot.

No! no! no! That's not the case. It is simply the fact that your women have become more liberated from your tribalistic shit and they now can marry the best men around, whether Ewe or Dagomba! They can see that there is a large supply of well educated, hard-working Ewes and Northerners who will take care of them and the kids and no wofa shit at all when the man died earlier! A cousin of mine has just left a big house in Kumasi for the Asante wife. He died at the tender age of 48!

When collecting data at Jacobu in 1993, the elderly widowed sister of the woman who runs the Rest House there wanted me to find her a widowed Anlo (with that funny pronunciation Asantes use for the word) to marry. Come and see how she twisted her nose when I asked what about an Asante man in my halting Twi mixed with English! "Annnona the best," she managed in her very little English! So you see, Asante women just prefer to marry now outside the tribe, as they don't fancy their own men, thinking they are second best! And with Ewe women also very much educated and more open to marrying Akans, especially Fantes who think Ewe women are made for them, even those who hate Ewes, thanks to the Interstate Law which provides them with some security in the event of spouses' death, Ewe men have to make do with what is nearest them, even though of lower quality. Well, they say the Akan women, esp, the Asantes, are more adept and less repressed at bedmatics too! Phew!

My own experiences fully support that view. Years back, we used to say among ourselves, if you wooed an Anlo girl and she agreed to come to visit you, you have to woo her again to stand from the chair or sofa to sit on your bed. Then you have to woo her again to remove her dresses and lie down! By then, man don tired! Try an Akan, esp an Asante, no hassle at all. She comes fully prepared, preventive already even taken care of and heads straight to to the bed! Phew! So there are many dynamics behind the spate of intermarriages since the mid-1980s.

How come it is only the successful Ewes or Northerners who can marry Asante women and not a bloke like your stupid self?

Is it a coincidence Rawlings, Mahama, Mould Iddrisu, Tsatsu Tsikata, Kofi Awonoor and Haruna Iddrisu all chose to marry Akan women? NO NO NO, this is part of Ewes and Northerners inferiority complex and low self esteem they think marrying Asante or Akan women will make them whole.

Stop your stupid bragging because none of your uncles can even build a hut introkosiland let alone a mansion in Kumasi. You idiot talks about your royal lineage but has to go to Nigeria to do walatu walasa before buying a Nigeria birth certificate to go to Europe.

It is the dream of NTAFUO and Trokosis to marrry or sleep with Asante women and that is a fact.

This article, indeed, contains everything why some have a strong detest, and even hatred, for some Asantes of the NLM/UP/PP/NPP tradition, or Asantes in general, as one Nzema guy insisted he does not long ago in an encounter in my shop. When I said I don't hate the Asantes but only is opposed to the NPP, being an Nkrumaist, he said in much anger that he hated them and I didn't know what the Asantes were like. He mentioned a number tribes that share borders with the Asantes - Sefwis, etc. - and said that if I heard what the Asantes said even about them and I am one, I'd go and hang myself! Phew! He was frothing at the mouth and since customers are always right, and I had sufficient clues as to what he meant, I had to shut up. In fact, I even got a field report of what he meant when I was collecting data for my dissertation and was taken to a branch of the Amanano Rural Bank, Nyinahin, across the Western Region border in Bibiani. Yeah! I heard a bit about the tensions created with its opening and operations, since they claimed they were there to service Asante migrant cocoa farmers there, and what the Asantes thought of the local against people. I'll keep that to myself. And haven't I heard all the crap over the years, since the 1960s directed at Ewes? This article, full of ignorant claims, therefore simply reinforces that crap and grounds for detesting and hating Asantes. It completely negates its objective of decrying and stopping some people allegedly from hating Asantes. It is absolute "crapology", as a friend puts this kind of uneducated vitriol, full of false and inaccurate claims and demeaning references to others. You spread it and it boomerangs on you and you come back to mourn?! Where were you when your Assin-Foso party member was calling on Asantes to do the dirty job of beating up and killing others, specifically Ewes and Gas??? And, I may ask: where was Haruna then? I am not holding brief for him. Did he speak out then in the heat of the Agyapong exhortation to mayhem?

I am on record as having the enviable record of being the first to really confront those Asantes and their hangers-on from other Akan groups when they brought their putrid Ewe demonisation and vilification to cyberspace in the early '90s. But I don't hate Asantes! I am amused by them rather and even pity them! One thing I know is that those who purvey such views are extremely ignorant of Asante history. And I know for a fact that proper Asante royals and others who are informed and knew Asante history and other tribes well don't indulge in that putrid ethnic vilification, esp. of Ewes. Rather, they are embarrassed by it. In fact, some hold out Ewes as role models to their children, like my course colleague who made me to go and greet the retired father in Kumasi when on field work in the Ash/R because he said his father never ceased to tire them about Ewe colleagues from his UAC working days during the pre-colonial days and how they advanced themselves and their children.

I also know that they (informed and enlightened Asantes) don't know how to tackle it, just as the so-called Ewe elite and leaders don't have a clue how to respond to or tackle the demonisation directed at Ewes. I lead in that direction for both - Asantes and Ewes alike! Really? You see, what nobody knows is that, at the time I was writing, I was communicating very closely with my former Legon mate and Univ. of Bergen Dept colleague, the late Dr Francis Kwame Appiah, grandson of the NLM mojo himself, linguist to the Asantehene, Baffour Akoto. That constrained me a lot in what I write, already constrained by the fact that my Anlo history and actions of the past is closely interwoven with Asante history and actions in at least the present VR. When I veered too much into dangerous territory, he'd fired me a mail. If someone said anything wrong about Asantes, I had the task of correcting that too, thus defending Asantes some thought I was attacking. I only stand for telling the truth as it was, how unpalatable that it is, which even some Ewe elders find difficult to say openly. Whenever I dropped into the Dept from my student research assistantship office at CMI, I'd go and sit with Francis to have a long chat about the exchanges on Okyeame. Thus, he was the one who copied the two books of Kofi Awoonor and showed me the long article Osee Poku wrote about why and how Gen. Afrifa was killed, putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Osahene Boakye Djan. Yes, so the proper Asante elite knew that Rawlings even tried to save the life of Afrifa, as some of us found out a few days after the shouting. The joke on Legon campus was that he was given the chance by the Other Ranks to stand besides those about to be shot that day!

Having written so much so far, I think I should commence with my long delayed exposure of the facts behind the ethnic imbroglio in Ghana. I might even re-write this piece into a full rejoinder to this crap.

It is clear you are just one of those scions of Asante slaves whom the afisem taboo has prevented you from knowing your true origins, hence u think you are a proud Asante. Proud of what??? Your mass genocidal and plundering owners of your ancestor? A proper Asante wouldn't open his mouth and insult an Anlo. And your women prefer us to you!

Look, so far as I am concerned, the gloves are now off! It is going to be all hard knuckle fight heneceforth. I have been retrieving data from the archives for sometime now in order to continue with what I started way back in the '90s. I just hope Ghanaweb can bear the storm which shall blow to Ghana too.

Soon, you'd learn some home truths which even the best Asante historian, Ivor Wilks, doesn't know. he speculated though, realising that there were holes in the narratives he was given. I'll fill some for you jerks! Yes, you'd learn why the Asantes never ever attempted to conquer the Anlos again and went into a peace compact with small Anlo. Yes, you can boast of your 1000 killed a 1000 will come but ours is simply only one firewood in the fireplace which cooked the food! Where you'd get your 1000 from this time, only the heavens knows.

BTW, if we take out the 33% estimated to be of slave origins amongst the Asantes, there are more Ewes in Ghana alone than Asantes in the world! If you include the people of slave origins, the total Asante pop. is just about 2% more than Ewes in Ghana alone, not counting Togo, Benin and Nigeria!

Kola, I haven't been commenting much on all the insults they have been hurling at Northerners and Ewes since the elections. Let them burn all the bridges and they'd choke on their own vomit! Of course, they are feeling the heat, hence this lashing out in desperation. A pity it is too late and I'd soon move in for the kill, enfeebled as they! You see, "ele kpee do gawu. Naketsi deka le dzo me bi nu". "It's short wearing iron armour. A single firewood in the fire cooked the food". I don't have 1000s to deploy on the battle field so I must fight tactically with supreme strategy to defeat those who think they can deploy 1000s to be killed needlessly.

So where are these Asante braggarts going to get their 1000s from this time, since the Dagomba and Dagbon vassal states, and all those vassal Akan states, are now liberated and are in fact aligned with the NDC? Haruna is a Dagomba. Isn't he? He knows what he is talking about, except that it was inappropriate to bring the issue up as he did just to dig some more into the tender ribs of the advocates of genocide. Dagombas were/are safe in Asante but can the same be said of the Konkombas and the many allied so-called minorities the Dagombas, Dagbons, Nanumbas and Mamprussis used to raid to pay as tribute to the Asantes and sell in 1000s in the great Salaga Slave market to Asante buyers who had the monopoly to buy there?

Were it not for the northern soldiers armed with bows and arrows in the Asante army when they met the Akyems on the battlefield that fateful day in 1730 or so, the Asante kingdom would have been history centuries ago! They were getting a severe beating when a thunder storm broke out, wetting the gunpowder and rendering the superiority in guns of the Akyems useless. The bows and arrows of the ancestors of those they are now insulting saved the day!

Likewise, had it not been the case that a Northerner who knew how to swim swam back to the other side of the Volta to warn the small remaining Asante army, not a single one of them would have returned to Oseikrom to tell of the woes that had befallen them! The ignorant idiots here should go to Manhyia and ask of the ntamu that was sworn to commemorate the tragedy. They should say they were sent by an Anlo royal whom they insulted and he is very, very pissed and is asking for their heads! I am fed up with these dzimakplawo and kplamasewo, not brought up by their parents properly.

Haruna's question is as moronic as this article. Those who support Haruna and the writer of this pathetic piece should bow their heads in shame. Such sophomoric and reckless tribal effusions have no place in the 21st century in which our connectedness and interdependence are not mere slogans. No tribe in Ghana is better than any other. No tribe owns the natural resources found in its geographic location---a location that is purely accidental and arbitrary.

Ras,

If you wish the tribal effusions to stop, then write articles to debunk the claims made in this article which you don't agree with.

Some of us are sick and tired of hearing that Asantes are feeding us and we are parasites on them, as if we don't work, have cocoa farms in the VR too and line up for Asantes to feed us daily and cloth and house us. We are tired of being told daily that we are Togolese (I wrote an article to debunk that but it still continues). We are tired of the daily insults and demonisation for taking all the top jobs in Ghana, all the scholarships, enjoying all the goodies of the state but in the same breath being told that we are inferior and jealous and envious of them - for what, I don't know! That the stats, according to the Regional Director of the Health service in the VR, shows that 70% of the health in the country are of VR origins but even people from the VR refused posting to the region, thereby creating chronic shortage of health personnel in the VR, worse than even the 3 northern regions???

Yes, the tribal effusions won't stop until those responsible for generating them stop. Some of us simply respond to them. So Haruna made a silly comment just to score cheap political points and we Ewes have to take a barrage of insults from jerks like these ignorant idiots on Ghana web?

When Agyepong called on the Asantes to kill Ewes and Gas, did their Asantehene or these writers rise up to denounce him and proclaim that they wouldn't be killing anyone on behalf of the NPP politicians? Of course, Agyepong wasn't the first some of us had heard calling on Asantes to rise up and kill Ewes. I had written so much about that call to kill Ewes on Okyeame in the 1990s, some of those calls said to my face. I had heard it all in Nigeria in the 1980s, including the ones they thought I couldn't understand! Their mentality was incredible! They even pretentiously tried to seek permission from me to kill some Ewes like Nigerians did to the Ibos in order to remove their dominance in the 1960s. It was long pass the time to tackle the issues, so brace up yourselves.

My question to you is, are Ewes living in the heart of the Ashanti capital, facing persecution? I think we are all making reckless and irresponsible comments. If Ashantis are really that demons, why have some tribes chosen to live under their very nose without any fear?

Northners have been interacting with Ashantis before independence so, why is Haruna making that stupid comment? He had apologized but that is not enough. He should have been fired because he knows better than that.

Check the fact. How many Ewes living in the Ashanti region as compared to Ashantis living in the Volta region or the Northern regions?

Efo, you are well educated so, please, let's forge for a common ground than trying to wade in this knee jerk gesture.

Man Fathers 9 Kids With Daughter, Pleads For Forgiveness

Agbofa Yao Hateka, the 47-year-old fetish priest who fathered nine kids with daughter has pleaded with a Sogakope circuit court to forgive him his sins as he would not do it again.

He has so far made two appearances in the Sogakokpe Circuit Court for having nine children with his daughter, four of whom were dead.

Agbofa Yao Hateka was in the Sogakope court on 12th and 13th July charged with incest. According to the prosecutor, inspector Emmanuel Atsor, the case was reported to the Dabala Police by a certain Torgbey Sekpetey II, chief of Ashagborkope, who is also a tax collector. The complainant told the police on June 7th 2012 that the accused was married to his biological daughter, Baby Hateka with whom he has nine kids. Yao Hateka allegedly impregnated Baby and subsequently had eight other children with her. Out of the lot, there were now five kids aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half old. During the interrogation however, Baby Hateka told the police she had eight other children with her father out of which three died, contradicting the accused person’s narration that he had only a two year old baby with his daughter.

The accused would not allow anybody to intervene as he allegedly threatened people with death if they meddled in his sexual relationship with his daughter. He allegedly threatened to invoke the spirit of his gods to deal with meddlers. The accused told the court that he was both a farmer and a fisherman, although the prosecution witness claimed he was unemployed. Before his arrest, the accused told the police that his daughter suffered from sickle cell anaemia, and had come to stay with him from a cocoa-growing area. Torgbey Sekpetey II had earlier fined the accused a fowl so his daughter could be cleansed before reporting the matter to the police. The case has been adjourned to 20th July 2012 for judgement.**

July 5, 2012 8:42:51 AM Drama In Court As Carpenter Gets 10 Years For Incest
Date: 27-Jan-2012
A 40-year-old welder; Emmanuel Kwesi Yevu, who is accused of defiling his 13-year-old daughter blamed his action on “juju,” (magic) when he made his second appearance before a Circuit Court in Accra.
Yevu told the court that somebody had cast a spell on him because he was getting more customers in his carpentry business.
When the court asked why he defiled his daughter, Yevu said: “My Lord the thing came on me in a spiritual form. I sometimes dream that I am sleeping with my late wife. I took in some alcohol on the day in question before going to bed. I detected that my daughter had placed her legs on mine and I mistook her to be that of my late wife and I defiled her.”
This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

Felix Torgbor, the 45-year-old mason who fathered a child with his own daughter.
A 45 year old mason has been arrested in Accra for forcibly having an affair with his daughter and subsequently, having a baby with her.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?”
These are the shocking words of Felix Torgbor, a 45-year-old mason from La, who was caught by his wife having sex with his 19-year-old daughter.
Apparently, Torgbor began having sex with his daughter when she was only 16 years old; broke her virginity and subsequently had a child with her. He is now in the grips of the Odorkor Police in Accra.
Torgbor’s three-year-old sexual affair finally came to an end when his wife caught him red-handed making love to his daughter in an uncompleted building on the dawn of Saturday August 15, at Russia, a suburb of Accra.
Salamatu, Torgbor’s wife, told DAILY GUIDE that she wakes up very early in the morning, goes to work and returns at 7:00pm.
On that fateful day, she returned from visiting her sister at about 10:00pm on Friday night. She called her husband to join her watch an African movie shown on TV, but he declined and kept moving up and down.
She then began wondering what was making her husband so jittery.
According to her, the TV station closed down around 12:00 midnight, so she went to bed.
At about 12:45am, she woke up to realize that her husband and daughter were not in bed so she went out in search of them.
Salamatu indicated that her husband is putting up a building which is just a distance from the family house where they live, so she had a strong urge to go there to search for them.
When she got there, she saw that her step-daughter had laid a piece of cloth on the floor of one of the rooms and she saw a man lying on top of her.
She yelled and held unto the man only to realize it was her husband who was moaning and groaning on top of his own daughter.
Salamatu said she could not believe that this abominable act was going on right under her nose for the past three years.
When she demanded answers from her husband, he called her a stupid woman.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?” he asked, threatening to beat her up if she shouted.
Salamatu says she raised an alarm, drawing people to the scene.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, District Crime Officer (DCO), DSP Bafour Appenteng said the affair between father and daughter started somewhere in 2006 when she was dressing after bathing.
Narrating the sequence of events, the DCO said it started when the grandmother of the victim observed that her pubic hair had not been shaved. She questioned the teenager who replied that she was scared the razor blade might harm her.
Her grandmother, thereafter, sent her to buy a razor blade so she could shave the hair off, but by the time she got back, her grandmother was asleep.
On reaching home, her father, who was then eavesdropping on the conversation, asked what she was going to use the razor blade for.
She explained what the grandmother had said.
Torgbor then insisted on shaving his daughter’s pubic hair, in spite of her resistance.
According to the victim, her father laid her on his matrimonial bed and shaved her pubic hair after which he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.
No amount of pleading could stop Torgbor from carrying out his intentions, and he had sex with her on the blind side of his wife, Salamatu Piaga.
The girl emerged from the room in tears and because her legs were wobbling, her aunties, who lived in the same compound house, asked what was wrong and she revealed to them that her father had just had sex with her.
According to the police, the aunties explained that at the time of the incident, the family was bereaved and so they decided to meet on the matter after the burial of their kin but later forgot all about it, and even though Salamatu was informed about the incident, she chose not to pursue it.
When she quizzed her husband about the incident, he got mad and subjected the child to severe beatings, saying that she wanted to disgrace him.
Later, when the girl turned 17, she got pregnant and left to stay with her biological mother at Osu because her father was furious, claiming his daughter had a boyfriend and subjected her to severe beatings, even though she was pregnant for him at the time.
At Osu, she reported the incident to WAJU but her mother, who did not believe her claims, abandoned the case after receiving a police medical form.
When the teenager gave birth in April last year, her stepmother, Salamatu, went for her from the Ridge Hospital where she delivered a baby girl and brought her back to her father’s house with the intention of caring for her and the baby.
The Crime Officer said when the baby was nine months old, Torgbor, who was eager to re-ignite his sexual relationship with his biological daughter, forced her to stop breast-feeding the baby, which she did.
They continued with the affair until the dawn of Saturday August 15, 2009 when Salamatu grabbed the two seriously making love.
Subsequently, Salamatu packed her belongings out of the house but did not report the matter to the police until her husband was arrested on August 18, 2009, by the Odorkor police who invited her to write her statement.
The victim, who was cuddling her daughter when she spoke to DAILY GUIDE on Thursday, confirmed that the baby, an exact replica of Torgbor, was indeed her father’s daughter.
She told DAILYGUIDE she wishes her father would be kept in jail forever.

Ho, May 13, GNA - Daniel Gadzeti, a carpenter, was sentenced to five years imprisonment by a Ho circuit court on Tuesday for being in an incestuous relationship with his 19-year-old daughter Mabel Gadzeti, a seamstress apprentice.
Mr Frank Owusu Afriyie, the presiding judge, deferred sentence on Mabel Gadzeti until after medical tests for pregnancy and sex related diseases.
Mr Afriyie described the conduct of Gadzeti, a father of four, as "very irresponsible". Deputy Superintendent of Police Kwadwo Nkansah told the court that Gadzeti, who was staying at Nkonya-Ntumda, invited his daughter who was staying with her mother at Nkonya-Tayi to come over and stay with him. He said Gadzeti the n started having sexual intercourse with his daughter. Mr Nkansah said a friend of Gadzeti once visited him and saw him (Gadzeti) and his (Gadzeti's) daughter bathing together and asked him if he was having sexual relationship with her. He said Gadzeti took offence and reported the matter to the chief of Nkonya-Ntumda who summoned the friend before the traditional court which fined him to compensate Gadzeti because the friend had no evidence to support his case. About a year later Gadzeti confessed his incestuous relationship to his uncle, a catechist, and expressed his desire to perform customary rites to marry her and make her his second wife in addition to her mother.
He said Gadzeti's uncle informed the chief of the town and Gadzeti's wife and daughter were summoned before the chief and elders of the town. A fine was imposed on Gadzeti and his daughter which they paid. He said a few days later, information about their relationship got to the police leading to their arrest.Source:

Man Jailed For Impregnating Daughter
An Accra High Court has sentenced Mr Anthony Bleworda to five (5) years imprisonment for having sex with her daughter since she was 16 years old and fathering with her five children, three of whom have since died. Mr Bleworda admitted that he had a strong urge to sleep with his own 16-year-old daughter the first day he saw her after several year’s sojourn abroad.
The daughter, identified as Matilda Bleworda, who is now in her mid twenties, is reported to have later developed mental health problems. Speaking to Peace FM and the Domestic Violence And Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), Matilda disclosed that she willingly gave in to his father’s sexual advances the first day she saw him because her father enticed her with lots of money, but the subsequent encounters were all against her will. An earlier medical report had revealed that Matilda had indeed developed mental problems. She however stressed to Peace FM in an interview that she has now been completely cured.
She added that she did not know in the beginning that Mr. Bleworda was her real father. She believed instead that her grandfather whom she had known since her infancy was. According to her she asked the father to stop sleeping with her but he refused, claiming she was married to him by virtue of their having children together.
In an interview with Peacefmonline, the spokesperson for DOVVSU, Inspector Irene Oppong confirmed that Mr Bleworda has been sentenced for 5 years imprisonment. In answer to querries about why the seemingly minimal nature of the punishment, Inspector Oppong said the court took into account the girl’s admission that she was 16 years old when her father first slept with her and also that she consented to the act for which reason he couldn’t be charged with rape.
She explained that the stipulated sentencing range for incest for which Mr. Bleworda was found guilty is between 3 to 25 years. She explained that it took the court this long to dispose of the case because the man was having health issues midway into his prosecution. Peace FM managed to secure a major scoop and broke the scandal to a horrified country in September of last year.

A 47-year-old farmer who fathered five children with his biological daughter is in the grips of the law.
Yao Hatekah impregnated his daughter, known as Baby, when she was 11 years old and subsequently had children aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half-old with her.
Hatekah, who pleaded guilty to the charge of incest on June 20, 2012, changed his plea to not guilty when he reappeared before the Sogakope Circuit Court Wednesday.
According to him, he had one child with his daughter and was not responsible for her other children.
The court, subsequently, remanded him to reappear on July 12, 2012.
Prosecuting, Inspector Emmanuel Atsor of the Sogakope Police told the court that Hatekah began having an affair with his daughter after his wife died.
His alleged incestuous act was brought to the attention of the police by the Chief of Gonu Ashiagborkorpe, near Dabala in the South Tongu District in the Volta Region, TorgbeSekpetey II.
It said the residents of the community had known of Hatekah’s incestuous act all these years but were afraid of him because of his threat to kill anybody who dared to criticise him.**

Andy,

I don't have to write articles to debunk the insidious tribalism espoused in Ghanaweb articles---that will be a full time job, and I will sure need someone to pay me to do so.

On a more serious note, I don't think it necessary for me to be the debunker in chief because I have absolute faith in the intelligence and decency of the silent majority who spend time on Ghanaweb---they're neither swayed nor impressed by the effusions of the tribal bigots.

Finally, as one versed in the ramifications of the art and science of communication, I know the difference between propaganda and marginally dispersed bigoted flatulence from a few deranged brothers sisters.

' And your women prefer us to you!

Are you out of your trokosi mind? The only Trokosis who can marry Asante women are the rich and powerful like Rawlings, Awonoor and Tsatsu. You ordinary trokosis smell so bad no Asante woman will marry you. Go to Kumasi and see trokosi educated women married to ordinary Asante men with form four education because they will rather have Opoku as a name than Kojovi.

Now talking about slaves, who are the slaves in Ghana? The people of Nkwanta, Jasikan, and other Akan areas swear or pay homage to Asantehene not Awomefia or whoever you call your trokosi chief but to Asantehene. Asantes control lands in Volta region captured with wars against trokosis and not the other way round. Go to Ashanti region and see all these smelly trokosis working like mules as slaves in Ashanti region.

WHAT IS THIS STUPID NONSENSE SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

BTW, if we take out the 33% estimated to be of slave origins amongst the Asantes, there are more Ewes in Ghana alone than Asantes in the world! If you include the people of slave origins, the total Asante pop. is just about 2% more than Ewes in Ghana alone, not counting Togo, Benin and Nigeria!

The chicken has come home to roost. Pride and arrogance has a prize.For a long time, Asantes especially Kumase-Asantes have regarded the rest of Ghanaians as non-entities because of Cocoa riches. In 1968 when I was in high school there was an accident on the Kumasi-Tamale road around Kintampo and there were fatalities. Among the dead were 3 Frafras, 2 men from Axim area, a woman from Dodoa and a man from North Suntreso, Kumasi. At Suame magazine a man called Nsian narrated the story and added that only one person was among the dead.He meant that out of the 7 dead the Asante man from Kumasi was the only human....Woaaa wo te asea?

Where were you when that mad man of Kennedy Agyepong, whose source of wealth is a big suspect calling on the Ewes ad Gas to be killed in the Ashanti region.

You forget also that cocoa is grown in the Volta region (you must be poor and naive in Geography)and it was/is even the settlers who did the cocoa farming and not your absentee parents of yours (Read Ahin, the Economic Development). Remember the abusa concept were unfortunately carried out by the Ewes, the Northerners and the Burkina Faso people among others living the poor settlers only one-third of what they did with their energies. Come again.

Where were our gold bullions after 1966 coupt??? Is easier to blame others.
After all, we can all read and write. Mind you the largest number of illiterates are not in the Volta region as you are postul,ating ignorantly here.

We cannot develop Ghana on these crooked and parochial, shallow and empty arrogant virtuperations. Our collective humility and understanding of common purpose and positive attempts to forge our development agenda will serve us all better than attempting to look mean on others. That will be resisted always even at the peril of lives.
Empty self fulfilling plans will always be truncated even by the forces of nature. Imagine what the developed world would have done us all, if your thinking of "supremacy" of region(s)is to be allowed. Tell us which region is even making pins and chopping sticks?? Is the importation of materials into Ghana that we shall also be proud of?? What of the millions on our roads asking an d running after lorries to sell dog chains??
Our common enemy is not the mad call for the killing of the Gas and the Ewes in the Ashanti region but how to manage and get jobs to the teeming population who don't know where the next meal will come from. United we stand and divided we cause pandemonion and fall heavily!!

Please, other tribes in Ghana, stop hating the ashantis. They are a very good people, only that they don't like oppression and tyrany. NDC has produced all tyrants, like JJ, and now Mahama. And Yaa Asantewaa rose against the British because they wanted to subdue us, so also we shall stand to oppose any oppressors rule with our might. Ashantis will never kowtow to the NdC, except a few disgruntled and money concious ones. Leave the Ashantis alone, we are a home to many people of other tribes and they hate us because we have refused to allow NDC dominate in our region. We know the NDC to be very bad and oppresssive party. Ghana is over 54 or 55 years old, and the CPP, PNDC, NDC have rule in the greater part of the years since Ghana came into existence whereas NPP has only ruled 8 years. So why the envy?

Haruna Idrisu knew what he was exactly doing. Tribal politics works on the masses and that was why Haruna Idrisu did it. The Republicans engaged in welfare politics in the States for while before it seized to be effective. Unfortunately, tribalism cuts deep in Africa and the NDC will hunt with that dog for a long time. Rawlings employed that tactic as well Atta Mills. Mahama used the same mantra during the elections. Haruna Idrisu is only fishing from his masters' pond and his apology is therefore insincere.

People like Opoku Agyeman and other primitive tribalists in both NPP and NDC,are the scum of the earth.And they are main reason why the African continent is still in the Dark Ages.

These folks live in the past - a parallel universe filled with tribalism,superstition,ignorance, false hegemonistic sentiments and high resistance to change and new ideas.In essence,they comprise the worst form of paleoconservatives in Ghana and in the continent.

And worse for Ghana/Africa,the educated leaderships are the ones fanning the flames of ethnocentricity,tribal politics and ethnic wars that have devastated or are desrtoying societies in Africa.

If the writer had lifted his eyes further past his nose,he would have seen that there are many Asante families in the metropolitan areas of Accra,Tamale,Cape Coast and Sekondi-Takoradi,who have lived in these places for generations - and also without ethnic wars.Let this tribalistic fool check out Asante MPs from some of these areas.

To set the record straight,Western Region(the richest in Ghana)contributes more to Ghana's economy than any region in Ghana.And the cocoa farm laborers,kayayes,"chop bar" assistants,Wamzams,carpenters and watchmen,have made HUGE contributions to the economic wellbeing and modernization of Kumasi and Ashanti as a whole.

This offspring of Mate Meho federalists,should thank the great Osagyefo Dr.Nkrumah for keeping Ghana united - and not balkanized.

It's time to put tribal particularism and 18th military explots(burning wnole villages down and selling human beings to the Europeans)into the trash heap of history - and move forward to modernize Ghana in this 21st Century.

And let the enlightened majority in Ghana reject this cultural neanderthalism.

You are absolutely right. It was long overdue to debunk their source of pride and all the crap from them.

Just wrote this below.

This article, indeed, contains everything why some have a strong detest, and even hatred, for some Asantes of the NLM/UP/PP/NPP tradition, or Asantes in general, as one Nzema guy insisted he does not long ago in an encounter in my shop. When I said I don't hate the Asantes but only is opposed to the NPP, being an Nkrumaist, he said in much anger that he hated them and I didn't know what the Asantes were like. He mentioned a number tribes that share borders with the Asantes - Sefwis, etc. - and said that if I heard what the Asantes said even about them and I am one, I'd go and hang myself! Phew! He was frothing at the mouth and since customers are always right, and I had sufficient clues as to what he meant, I had to shut up. In fact, I even got a field report of what he meant when I was collecting data for my dissertation and was taken to a branch of the Amanano Rural Bank, Nyinahin, across the Western Region border in Bibiani. Yeah! I heard a bit about the tensions created with its opening and operations, since they claimed they were there to service Asante migrant cocoa farmers there, and what the Asantes thought of the local against people. I'll keep that to myself. And haven't I heard all the crap over the years, since the 1960s directed at Ewes? This article, full of ignorant claims, therefore simply reinforces that crap and grounds for detesting and hating Asantes. It completely negates its objective of decrying and stopping some people allegedly from hating Asantes. It is absolute "crapology", as a friend puts this kind of uneducated vitriol, full of false and inaccurate claims and demeaning references to others. You spread it and it boomerangs on you and you come back to mourn?! Where were you when your Assin-Foso party member was calling on Asantes to do the dirty job of beating up and killing others, specifically Ewes and Gas??? And, I may ask: where was Haruna then? I am not holding brief for him. Did he speak out then in the heat of the Agyapong exhortation to mayhem?

I am on record as having the enviable record of being the first to really confront those Asantes and their hangers-on from other Akan groups when they brought their putrid Ewe demonisation and vilification to cyberspace in the early '90s. But I don't hate Asantes! I am amused by them rather and even pity them! One thing I know is that those who purvey such views are extremely ignorant of Asante history. And I know for a fact that proper Asante royals and others who are informed and knew Asante history and other tribes well don't indulge in that putrid ethnic vilification, esp. of Ewes. Rather, they are embarrassed by it. In fact, some hold out Ewes as role models to their children, like my course colleague who made me to go and greet the retired father in Kumasi when on field work in the Ash/R because he said his father never ceased to tire them about Ewe colleagues from his UAC working days during the pre-colonial days and how they advanced themselves and their children.

I also know that they (informed and enlightened Asantes) don't know how to tackle it, just as the so-called Ewe elite and leaders don't have a clue how to respond to or tackle the demonisation directed at Ewes. I lead in that direction for both - Asantes and Ewes alike! Really? You see, what nobody knows is that, at the time I was writing, I was communicating very closely with my former Legon mate and Univ. of Bergen Dept colleague, the late Dr Francis Kwame Appiah, grandson of the NLM mojo himself, linguist to the Asantehene, Baffour Akoto. That constrained me a lot in what I write, already constrained by the fact that my Anlo history and actions of the past is closely interwoven with Asante history and actions in at least the present VR. When I veered too much into dangerous territory, he'd fired me a mail. If someone said anything wrong about Asantes, I had the task of correcting that too, thus defending Asantes some thought I was attacking. I only stand for telling the truth as it was, how unpalatable that it is, which even some Ewe elders find difficult to say openly. Whenever I dropped into the Dept from my student research assistantship office at CMI, I'd go and sit with Francis to have a long chat about the exchanges on Okyeame. Thus, he was the one who copied the two books of Kofi Awoonor and showed me the long article Osee Poku wrote about why and how Gen. Afrifa was killed, putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Osahene Boakye Djan. Yes, so the proper Asante elite knew that Rawlings even tried to save the life of Afrifa, as some of us found out a few days after the shouting. The joke on Legon campus was that he was given the chance by the Other Ranks to stand besides those about to be shot that day!

Having written so much so far, I think I should commence with my long delayed exposure of the facts behind the ethnic imbroglio in Ghana. I might even re-write this piece into a full rejoinder to this crap.

It is clear you are just one of those scions of Asante slaves whom the afisem taboo has prevented you from knowing your true origins, hence u think you are a proud Asante. Proud of what??? Your mass genocidal and plundering owners of your ancestor? A proper Asante wouldn't open his mouth and insult an Anlo. And your women prefer us to you!

Look, so far as I am concerned, the gloves are now off! It is going to be all hard knuckle fight heneceforth. I have been retrieving data from the archives for sometime now in order to continue with what I started way back in the '90s. I just hope Ghanaweb can bear the storm which shall blow to Ghana too.

Soon, you'd learn some home truths which even the best Asante historian, Ivor Wilks, doesn't know. he speculated though, realising that there were holes in the narratives he was given. I'll fill some for you jerks! Yes, you'd learn why the Asantes never ever attempted to conquer the Anlos again and went into a peace compact with small Anlo. Yes, you can boast of your 1000 killed a 1000 will come but ours is simply only one firewood in the fireplace which cooked the food! Where you'd get your 1000 from this time, only the heavens knows.

BTW, if we take out the 33% estimated to be of slave origins amongst the Asantes, there are more Ewes in Ghana alone than Asantes in the world! If you include the people of slave origins, the total Asante pop. is just about 2% more than Ewes in Ghana alone, not counting Togo, Benin and Nigeria!

A Dagomba man comes home from work one day to find his dog with the Ashanti man magician neighbor's performing Guinea fowl in his mouth. The guinea fowl is dead and the Dagomba man panics.

He thinks the Ashanti magician man is going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed up guinea fowl into the house and gives it a bath, blow dries its feathers and puts the Guinea fowl back into the cage at the Ashanti magician's house, hoping he will think it died of natural causes.

A few days later, the Ashanti magician is outside and asks the guy, "Did you hear that Akwaba my magic Guinea fowl died?". The guy stumbles around and says, "Um.. no.. um.. what happened?".

The Ashanti magician replies, "I just found him dead in his cage one day, but the weird thing is that the day after I buried him I went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!

Am a non partisan and non tribalist but am always on the side of truth.The writer of this article is either mad,not a patriotic Ghanaian or has been paid to incite tribalism just to taint the problemfree democracy Ghana is noted of.Certainly he is an NPP member so my questions to you are 1.Did you not notice this act of tribalism when the NPP was in charge.Ofcourse you saw it but you kept mute because it was in your favour.See who is preaching about tribalism.2.Be that as it may,is this the right way to reprimand someone whom you think is being tribalistic.You tried the best you could to hide your tribalistic and mental retardedness when writing your article but borrowing your own words,a fool is always a fool,irrespective of the country he is seeking a political asylum in.Am not in favour of tribalism just as am not in favour of hypocricy.You calling for unity in Ghana yet you marginalize some tribes as non Ghanaians when the constitution of Ghana stipulate that anyone born in Ghana from 1960 is a Ghanaian.Who told you the Asantes are true Ghanaians,any way.In your dreams will this come true.I will tell you who the true Ghanaians are.The true Ghanaians are those who work hard for the development and well being of the country,not those who seek asylum in other countries,out of cowardice.This is my email address,rastabongoo@yahoo.com Contact me and I will educate you more on the true Ghanaians,free of charge

REMEMBER, ASHANTI IS THE ONLY REGION/TRIBE WHICH STOOD AGAINST KUTU ACHEAMPONG, AN ASHANTI HEAD OF STATE WHEN HE STARTED MISLEADING THE COUNTRY.

THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO COULD RISE AGAINST EVERY UNPOPULAR GOVERNMENT. LOOK AT WAYOMI'S CASE, THIS GUY HAS DUPED THE NATION WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUT BECAUSE HE IS A MEMBER OF NDC AND AN EWE, ALL NDC MEMBERS AND THE WHOLE EWE TRIBE SUPPORT WAYOMI.

Ghanaian hate the truth. That is why we are suffering. Anybody who stands for truth ends up being hated. Jesus said, 'light came into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil'. truely evildoers will always hate the light. I must commend the NDC propaganda machinery though, because of the way they have managed to break the Akan front, in their effort to pitch other non-ashanti Akans against the ashanti. They knew they could never win elections with only volta and the north. so they had to find a way to break the akan front. and the only way to do it was to trumpet ashantis as all the usual insults you hear. In akan, we say "Onipa mama ho ye ahi" to wit a noble man exhudes envy. And that is exactly what is happening. As you work hard trying to improve your lot in life, others are sitting down planning how to destroy you. And take it for a fact, the Ewes and Northerners themselves are afraid of their own kith and kind. They will get rid of you as soon as they see you making any meaningful progress they cannot make. That is why they choose to settle in Accra and Kumasi when they become a little prosperous, intead of going back home to help their own people. How else would they need to enjoy free education for over 50 years. And still have nothing to show for it up north. Still depending on Government hand-outs. The truth is hard to hear. But it is the truth that sets people free. Katakyie - WELL DONE

I have lived and taught in many African countries. Each country has a tribe or a class that emerges outstanding out of the rest of the different tribes, class or groups.

In Nigeria, the tribe 'Yurobas' are dis-liked by most Nigerians. They are said to be arrogant and stubborn.

'The British' are also described as arrogant by the rest of the world.

I have realized that most of these unfounded accusations stem from the fact that, these group of people , class or tribe, have a rich history and the envy and jealousy from others, who do not, breed these hatred and animosity.

Asantes are of no exception.

I will not agitate for war and neither would I suggest reciprocity nor retaliation.

what I can deduce here is the hidden unfathomed wisdom of our old political leaders and fore-bearers, who for-saw what the future had in store for the Asantes, and were therefore, calling or agitating for 'Federalism'or 'federal state' for Asantes as opposed to 'unitarianism' or 'unitary state' and which people at that time of corrupt minds mis-interpreted it to mean UNITED PARTY (UP) which stood for 'Matemeho'.

Besides what I will suggest is to forgive but not to forget, because it is only a fool who will easily forgive and forget, but rather, to 'wet our sponges' with the admonition that all Asantes and Akans for that matter, should try as much as possible, to educate all their children, because, it is only 'Knowledge that wields power".

After-all, we are all Ghanaians with one destiny.

My brother, the problem with us (Asantes) is; we haven't had a leader since the 1950s and at the same time had been sleeping at the wheel - we have to blame ourselves for our stupidity.

While the marginal tribes like the Ewes have been planning for decades to form alliances with other minority tribes for political power, and thus economic ascendancy through the centralization of the nation's resources, Asantes in particular and Akans as a whole did not see the need to form our own political groupings. We just accepted the central government concept as unifying, believing that any government of the day would be fair.

Whilst the Awoonors, Tsikatas and Rawlings were planning their take over of the country, Asantes and other Akans like PV Obeng, Boakye Gyan, Tony Aidoo and others were foolishly following them and were being used to further their motives. The end result culminated in the 1979 coup and the AFRC era that systematically sought to purge Asantes and Akans from higher hierachies of decision making in the country.

With the targeted killing of Asantes and Akans judges and destructions of Akan businesses, we should have alerted ourselves and see what was coming. But as I speak there are prominent Asantes and other Akans who are still giving comfort and encouragement to these guys whose main agenda is to reduce Asantes and Akans to nothing.

I was very appalled to see the Asantehene honor Rawlings at Kumasi during a cultural festival some few years back. I thought honors go personalities who have had positive impart on society, but not on a sworn enemy of your people. That act was a betrayal of all Asantes. Here is a guy who because of jealousy and hatred for Asantes intentionally murdered Akwasi Amankwah Afrifa just to instill fear in Asantes and to brag openly about it. Note, Afrifa was bestowed the title, "Katakyie" by Asanteman and the Golden Stool during the reign of Opoku Ware II and to see the current Asantehene using his position as occupier of the stool to honor this human trash(rawlings)was dispicable.

One day the Asanteman Council and Otumfour would have to account for that traitorious act.

These kinds of action by our leaders have given courage to people like Rawlings, Koby Acheampong, Iddrisu and the likes to spew all these trash about Asantes and Akans in general.

Are we honest as a people?Personally,I think people are making a mountain out of a mold.If this harmless question can infuriate people this much,we should be careful.Let's not pretend it is all about this.Let's curb our anger before this ant becomes an elephant.Perhaps,if we will stop insulting and belittling other tribes,the supposed hatred will disappear.May be if we humble ourselves,listen to others grievances about us,and respect them.Perhaps if we should stop talking down to them and not dismiss them as lazy,jealous,and poor people.Perhaps,we should stop demeaning them,and rather respect them as equals.We all know everybody is unique in their own way.Some people prefer money to everything and will do anything for it.Others value principles above everything including money.Therefore,it is not prudent to rub what you have achieved in other people's faces.In essence,humility is the best.Besides,everybody is responsible for their upkeep,so people should stop refering to others as poor regions.After all, the whole of Ghana is regarded as a poor country.Moreover,It will be a deception for a tribe or a region to claim credit for Ghanaian migration,not even Greater Accra.Because from a hamlet in the north to the smallest coastal community,there are Ghanaians of diverse ethnicities everywhere.Please Ghanaians,dont let the animosity harboured at the lose of the election instigate us to act in anger.Let's be careful!May God help us to respect, love each other and rise above our pettiness,amen.Long live Ghana!!!

Her Eternal Majesty (HEM) Field Marshall Nana Okatachiewaa Osadjefowaa Yaa Asantewaa despised and denounced Asante men for their most shameful cowardice. Faced with the British imperial rats, they chose to find a million excuses for not fighting. Asante men simply had no balls. Nothing has changed much from those shameful days. They continue to betray and sell out Ghana to the any foreign power (e.g. Kufuor) just like they sold their black brethren as slaves to the Arabs and Europeans.

HEM Field Marshall Nana Yaa Asantewaa fought and died for all Africans not the cowardly, slave-dealing, shameless Asante men!

When I begun reading your article I was in full agreement with you, but as I read on, I realised you may even be more dangerous and ethnocentric than the Haruna Iddrisu you are chastising.You cherry pick facts to suit your arguments, as oppossed to facts that will all all kinds of test. "Are we going to fight against Haruna's tribe to gain access to their hoes or cutlasses, or Voltarians to have access to their carpentry work or Keta School Boys? This is just one of your statements which reflects the true you,It is unfortunate that people like you with whatever exposure you might have had, and education can never leave your backwardness behind you. Your article begins with wisdom, however, by the time one finishes reading, believe me, it makes Haruna look like a saint, a true peace loving person. Read over your write up one more time, reflect on most of your pronouncements, your analogies, examples, facts and you will see that you are more of an inciter and nation wrecker than Haruna. Terribly disappointing,hope we have Ghanaians out there who can truly bring the country together, not your like who are more poisonous and vitriolic to the people you will come in touch with. I honestly have to stop here, dissapointed in whatever education you are getting or have gotten in Enfield.

This is crass, it is inciteful, it is dangerous. It is people like you who wreck a nation! The remote notion that Ghanaians "hate Asantes" is so preposterous, I am short of words to describe your intentional stupidity and objective to incite division. You rightly point out intermarriages and the "bond resulting from our boarding school system". I am not Asante but attended boarding school in Asante and still have some of my best friends from the region. I have also worked (and continue to work closely) with Asantes I hold dear as friends.

The trouble with some of you is that you cannot accept defeat in anything be it sport e.g. Football or political elections. Your equivalent are the extremist right wing ignorant rural dwellers in the US who for some reason think their country has been invaded and has lost its very nature, just because a "black man" is now the president.

What has happened recently in Ghana during the period leading to, and after the last elections has been name-calling, insults and tribal bigotry perpetrated by both the NPP and NDC parties who should know better. If anything, the leadership of both major parties need to rein their supporters in and stop this nonsense.

The president only last week showed leadership and came out and called for the insults to stop and for us to move forward as one nation. For your selfish convenience, you completely 'missed' the president's admonition and could not even muster the humility to acknowledge nor praise his call for all supporters and politicians to stop the insults. Yet you write an article meant to raise the tension and incite ill-informed people to start behaving badly.

I don't know the context of the minister Harunah's question in parliament , nor do I condone irrelevant and stupid questions of that kind. But in the last few days, your ilk, led by Rockson Adofo and Justice Sarpong have been trying to raise the ante on this non-existent problem of hatred towards Asantes.

We cannot allow you to get away with this nonsense. You must start apologising to Ghanaians for this ridiculous nonsense and incitement which if anything, only betrays your hypocrisy, having spent lot of your time trying to describe others as latrine carriers, watchmen, cleaners, farm labourers and what have you.

Your problem is that you cannot accept that the children of these very people too somehow took up the opportunities presented to ALL of us to go to school, study hard and make something good out of their lives. You even miss the fact that for people like president Mahama, he was more privileged than many others in that his father was a government minister and politician.

Most of us (you, me, Adofo, justice, Ahoofe included) came from villages and very humble beginnings. Don't you think it is time we celebrated our collective and individual successes in life instead of come ting this tribal. Ivory Nd nonsense? Why can't you write positive things about how we can come together as one nation? Or you want a federal system and breaking away from the rest of the country?

What is it you are looking for? And by the way, if your party the NPP were to win power, will you expect it to rule across the whole of Ghana or only in Asanteman? Will you expect ALL Ghanaians and regions to cooperate with the npp in government or not? Why are you and your ilk so short-sighted? You better grow up and stop this nonsense like school boys whose 'ball' has been taken from them by the 'school bully'!

Thanks Paul for your comment but the truth is that most of what Katakyie is saying is true. Go through the litany of historical instances he cites and you will appreciate the systematic agenda of the Dzelokope Mafia to as it were cut off the wings of these "proud Asantes". I do not share Katakyies insinuations that tends to be insulting to other tribes in Ghana, but unfortunately, that is what Ghana's politics has been reduced to now, Thank to the Babies with sharp teeth who have become the pundits for the NDC on our electronic and print media these days. It is easy to rubbish katakyies allegations because you may not be Ashanti. but if you are, you feel it everywhere these days. Even in the workplaces, your chances of natural progressin is curtailed. Both sides of the political divide are guilty of this insulting behaviours. I do not think that supporters of NPP are opposed to a Northerner becoming president per-se. Afterall, Dr Hilla Limmahn was our president, and we all respected him. It is this same Dzelokope Mafia that refused him the opportunity to complete his term. Check the records again and you will find that, in Ghana's 56 years of existence its only 8 out of the total that we have had an Ashanti president in Kuffour. Nkrumah, Rawlings etc were non-Ashantis, and no one had any problem with that. Mahama as a president by itseld should pose no problem to no one. But Who ever seeks to rule our beloved Ghana must have the requisite legitimacy. If one party in the elections feel agrieved, our constitution provides a means for them to seek redress. And that is exactly what the NPP is doing. Our constitution requires that electoral grievances are resolved through the appropriate channels instead of resorting to violence and that is exactly what the NPP is doing. Let us all allow the courts to examine the evidence and pronounce an unbiased and an uncoerced verdit and we will all give the respect and legitimacy to whoever should be our leader. It is unfortunate that our politicians on both side have tried to play on tribal sentiments to win in the court of public opinion. This indeed is dangerous for our country. But The court case sets a very good precedence for Ghana that if politicians want to continue in power , they need to do acts that alleviate the sufferring of the people rather than resorting to propaganda as a tool of misinformation and control. If you are a regular contributer to this forum, you will see the mountain of insults that have been heaped on Akuffo -Addo and all others who subscribe to his ideology. All this for simply seeking redress for a perceived wrong. You and I cannot and should not presume the veracity or otherwise of the allegations as yet. We can only wait for the court ruling. Until then the legitimacy of Mahama remains questionable.

I am an Ashanti, and a proud one at that. I have very good Northern and Ewe friends as well, but that should not blind me to partern of antagonisms that may be exhibited against my kinfolks. Nazi Germany had many good hearted people at the time Hitler was sowing the seeds of hatred and antagonism towards the Jews in Europe. But when good men turn a blind eye to budding evil, that is when it is allowed to germinate to produce fruits which no one anticipated or desired. So it is not simply in the dream of the write. These are facts. Read Kofi Awoonors book and you will see the trend unfold before your eyes. Men of Good will everywhere need to riseup and conderm these tendencies whereever they may originate from. God Save Asanteman. God Save Ghana.

CIVIL WAR AGAINST ASANTES AND AKANS STARTED IN JUNE 1979- SINCE JJ RAWLINGS AND COMPANY EMERGENCE - UP TO DATE 2013

HISTORY

Why own brother had to die, for the sake democracy against dictatorship in Ghabna ?

Brigadier Akwasi Amankwaa Afrifa (24 April 1936 – 26 June 1979) was a Ghanaian soldier, farmer, a traditional ruler (king) and politician.
He was the head of state of Ghana and leader of the military government in 1969 and then Chairman of the Presidential Commission between 1969 and 1970. He continued as a farmer and political activist. He was elected Member of Parliament in 1979 but was executed before he could take his seat. He was executed together with two other former heads of state, General Kutu Acheampong and General Fred Akuffo and five other Generals (Utuka, Felli, Boakye, Robert Kotei and Amedume), in June 1979. He was also popularly referred to by his title Okatakyie /?o?kætæt?i?/ Akwasi Amankwaa Afrifa and was in addition the Abakomahene of Krobo in the Asante-Mampong Sekyere Traditional Area of the Ashanti Region of Ghana

Indeed two wrongs do not make a right. The majority of Ghanaians are not tribalistic so let is not allow the seed of tribalism to be sown at all. Sure there some regions that probably due to their location and MAYBE because their families may be split by borders see themselves as foreigners and act as such. In a gathering they will deliberately begin to speak in their language to exclude everyone else no matter how rude, they will give better service amd opportunities not on merit nit on the favt that one is from the same region as they....this has always been the case but seriously such people are in the minority. Amd rational thinking Ghanaians must continue to frown on their attitude and educate them on how to stop such acts. Of course it does not help that we have a President who has by his words before elections that Northerners were tied of playing second fiddle( Mr. president, you owe us an apology for making such a statement) and by choosing so many Ministers obviously for tribal reasons may be fanning the flames of the otherwise small fire of tribalism that could so easily be quenched. Let us stamp out tribalism most of us have a bit of every tribe in our blood and therefore see ourselves as Ghanaians first so please stop the Fanning tribal fires whoever and for whatever. We are fed up with this attitude!

Is very sad to hear the NDc leaders from even JJ Rawllings time to now to have some special dislike for AKANS more specially the Asantes.

But I dont blame these NDC bastards so much. I would blame our own greedy traditional chiefs in the Akan fraternity. Go to the Bono region, Fante regions, and the rest and you would believe what I am sayig. Some of thes traditional chiefs are selling their subject for their bellies.

If all the AKANS decide to VOTE against the NDC can the EWes and so called Northners give NDC enen 25% of he total votes in Ghana?

These Ewe Bastards have realised that the Akans more especiall the Asantes are very powerful in wealth, wisdom,knowledge and governance so if they don't do some quickly to woe the other small tribes to their side it would be very difficult for them to mainain power. So immediately Adomako Nyamekye (Akan),Boakye Gyan (Akan) and co allowed J.J Rawllings (Ewe)to take charge as the leader of the AFRC in 1979, the other Ewes like Prof Koffi Awonor came together to look for a nice formula to kill all the other powerful and influencial individuals from Akan regions so that the EWES can also their way to rule Ghana.
Is was no surprise at all the Boakye Gyan and Nana Adomako Nyamekye who led the coup and even fought to take J.J Rawlings from PRISON became enemies for JJ and the Ewes. They had no other chance than to ran away the country until recently. From then, these Ewe bastards have tried all that they can to fiht against the Akans more especially the Asantes in sprit, economic, emotioal, phisical, and politically.
You know our brothers and sisters from the North are very easy to "buy" because of the strong econimic harchip in their area. So Rawllings(EWEs) took avangtage of that to woe their support in fighting against the Akans. That is where all the nonsence began.
Appart from the Ewes,check the background of any other person, group, tribe or individual who also speaks or peaches political hatret against the Akans/ Asantes you would see that, that individual, or group is in the NDC. Ask yoursel WHY?

It is now crystal clear that whatever concern Haruna was trying to address, he botched up quite miserably. If one had watched the vetting committee proceedings carefully, it would not have been difficult to see that Haruna was just trying to play to the gallery by appearing to be the one who was asking the difficult questions. This particular question was needless as it was thoughtless and reckless. My strong view, however is that Haruna's poor judgment should never be used as a pretext for the kind of bigoted and disparaging comments as made in this piece. As far as I am concerned, the language used here is as guilty and reckless as the conduct of Haruna and it must be roundly condemned by all well meaning Ghanaians. Ghana is a unitary state today and no Ghanaian should be made to feel any more or less Ghanaian anywhere on our national territory and that is the way things must remain.

The author gets more lopsided as you continue to read this diatribe. This story is not only lopsided in content but it is also full of innuendos and inaccurate information while promoting his own tribe. Ashantis should know that if they continue to look down upon other tribes and believe they own Ghana, Ghanaians will continue to react to defend themselves. Ashantis are not superior to any tribe and they can take it or leave it!

Kwame Opoku,
If you have an axe to grind with Haruna, I urge you to take up your case with him, but please leave the Northerners and the various Northern tribes out of your stupid diatribes and invectives.
You have the impudence to say Ashantis “gave the Northerners free education.” Can you tell us when that happened? You Ashantis opposed Kwame Nkrumah, when he was fighting for independence for all of Ghana. Today, you want to claim credit for every progress the great man achieved. For your information, the Northern Scholastic Scheme you so wrongly, yet gleefully, refer to did not yield any meaningful results. And how would it, when people such as your kind are in charge of administering it?
Hitler and the Nazis tried this stupid ideology of pure Aryan race. Pol Pott and the Khmer Rouge tried it in Cambodia and the Hutus tried it in Rwanda, all with disastrous consequences. To you, if one is not an Ashanti, then he or she is one of them out there. You lump all Northerners together, although you only have a problem with one Dagomba man. Don’t forget that most of the fighting men in the Ghana Armed Forces, the brave ones, are either of Northern extract or from the Volta region. Today, we have a President you consider to be of a Northern extract, of the minority, who lost the vote in the Ashanti region, the majority “superior” tribe trying to over-turn his victory. Does this resemble Rwanda in the making? Don’t you see the seed you are sowing?
What you have written tells any discerning reader that you were already waiting for the opportunity to unleash your tribal hatred on people of the three Northern Regions. Your couched respect for Haruna my foot!
You relish the unfortunate events of unrest in the Upper East Region, of past wars in the Northern Region and the murder of the Yaa-Naa referring to them as a sign of weakness on the part of Northerners and conversely the superiority of Ashantis, by their absence in the Ashanti region. How dumb of you? Your Yaa Asantewaa was “great” because she had to fight a war leading you cowardly men, who ran away, when it mattered most. As for the murder of the Yaa-Naa Andani Yakubu, you claim to live in UK, but I bet you’ve never heard of Cromwell and what he did to the King, have you?
Yes, Haruna may be a “pepeni”. As a true “pepeni” he will tell the truth and not lie to the world. Alternately, if he is wrong, just like a typical “pepeni” he will acknowledge it and apologize, political “plagiarism” et al. Abi?
It is a sad day for Ghana when people who claim to be “educated” can be so ignorant.

Time has come for the ordinary ghanaians to understand that the country ghana does not belong to only the Akans,but also people from the Northern decent who have also produced
interlects who can man the affairs of our dear country ghana, hence the country is not only for Akans but for all tribes in ghana.

Readers, if you want to understand the Asante mindset, read this article. This is a true Asante man speaking or an Akan for that matter.

We are all citizens of one Ghana or as the saying goes, "we are all God's children". What is this nonsense about "Odehyie ba". What must I be for you to be odehyie? A slave. Not in this world!

Honest discourse that must be addressed. The coward NDC fanatics parlaying their tribal nonsense in this forum should take heed. Engage in honest discourse and stop the insults. Asante/Akan anger is boiling. For the love of country, it is contained but if unchecked and it explodes, Kola and his fellow fools will find no cover.

They want Asantes to behave and think like that. They want Asantes to be in the same category like them. When Asantes refuse to kowtow to their whims and caprises, they say Asantes are proud. When Asantes tell their history, they say we are arrogant? But how could we lower our self-esteem and live in that primitive midset?

Haruna Idrissu says something stupid about Asantes. And what is Katakyie Agyemang's corrective answer? A bizarre tirade replete with medieval notions of "slaves and royals" (it's only a proverb, you say), backward stereotypes of Northerners worthy of apartheid racists, and chest-thumping ethnic chauvinism. PITY.

This Ashanti brand of hubris is so dirty that it cannot and will not be corrected by simple leftist manifestations. You are talking of bush characters who will not accept any civility. You seem to think that there is a way of correcting these nonsenses. I do not think so by any standard. If these bush boys talk their nonsense, they should be confronted, hammered and made to understand that their loutish conduct has its equivalent; albeit be helped to acknowledge how human beings can reason differently. You are quite right not to like this approach but it serves a serious education role. Even Asantis are able to tell how defensive very tribe is. Do not for any reason see this as a colonialist thing. I am quite advanced in Ghanaian history and politics and can say with conviction that this has nothing to do with colonialism or divide and rule. It has all got to do with one single backward tribe which should change its image or will one day be the toast of unintended civil unrest.

When Arap Moi told the west that multi party democracy would bring tribalism to Africa in 1987,everybody thought he was resisting change.Here we are as Ghanaians 20yrs after multi party democracy,I don't think we can pinpoint one significant thing that we have achieved.The unified nation is now disintegrating,with some few who call themselves as politicians making money out of the system.I don't think all of you posting these comments can compare the state of water and power supply with what was prevailing some years ago.There are more pressing issues confronting the nation which the state cannot resolve.Why should we allow tribalism to preoccupy our thoughts?Do we now understand why Russia and China are not rushing in introducing multi party democracy to their countries?Multi democracy can only be successful to states where its citizens are economically empowered.
