    To each "tribe" its own. Vote your "tribe". In Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana? Katakyi is a mighty fool.

  • KKK 11 years ago

    THE FIGHT FOR BONO IDENTITY WAS FOUGHT WITHOUT BUSIA. GREAT HONOUR TO KWAME NKRUMAH!

  • NEMESIS, UK 11 years ago

    THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT NIGERIANS CHILDREN, WOMEN AND FAMILIES THAT THIS EVIL, WICKED, DEMENTED AND SATANIC ABBREFA BUSIA'S DESTROYED WITH HIS NEOCOLONIALIST ACO ORDER, IS CRYING FOR REVENGE. ANYTIME I HEAR THE NAME BUSIA, ...

    THERE WAS NO FIGHT FOR BRONG. KWAME NKRUMAH KNEW THE REASON WHY HE SEPERATED BRONG FROM ASHANTI SO IT'S NONESENSE TO SAY THAT.

  • Kwablah, Chenebuah 11 years ago

    Kwame Opoku, how much do you know about Kofi Abrefa Busia? Let me educate you, Busia was nothing but a traitor, selfish and irresponsible citizen, a liar, tribalist, a bomb thrower, egotistical fool, a manipulator, a man of n ...

    I never met the guy(bcos of my age) but even though my dad worked directly under both Dr Danquah, Busia and Victor Owusu, he always talked fondly about Busia. How I wish we had leaders visionary leaders like him today!

  • Ada Boy 11 years ago

    I share your views about the great democrat and a visionary,Dr Busia. None of the current crop of politicians are good enough to compare him with. I am a 26 years old, but I thought he was the sort of leader who could have ch ...

    You are absolutely right.

  • Nana Anim 11 years ago

    People should not be made to hold on to tribal alliance if we want to build a nation. We all rise and fall together as a nation. NPP needs to win the hearts of the people win their ideas and not because of past tribal relatio ...

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 11 years ago

    Katakyie, I normally refrain from commenting on articles that have the potential to fan ethnic tensions but I am doing so for a number of reasons. First, just to say that Boakye Djan was a Captain at the time of AFRC and not ...

    Kofi, thanks for the correction. I think you presume to be a nationalist, patriot, unifier, neutral etc so far as partisan politics is concerned. Your abhorrence of tribal politics is equally shared by all sensible Ghanaians. ...

    Katakyie, let me correct the idea that I presume to be all those you ascribed to me. I am not neutral in party politics though I have never been a member of any registered political party at home or abroad. However, I try to ...

  • Kojo T 11 years ago

    Busia stood for TRIBALISM which is why open minded people like Boakye Gyan and Nketsia do not like him. Busia was no democrat as he brought in no court, no court. I was a student and he caused a lot of problems removing the a ...

    The best thing he did was the Aliens Compliance Order where he kicked all the Nigerian criminals out! Had he not done that criminals may be 20 percent of Ghana's population right now!!

  • Left Critic 11 years ago

    Love! That's what you call yourself? What your comment shows is that the road from shameless tribalism to national chauvinism is very short indeed.

  • BONNIE 11 years ago

    A LEGACY OF SUBVERSIVENESS & NATION WRECKING. A LEGACY OF TESTIFYING TO THE U.S SENATE THAT NKRUMAH'S REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO BUILD AKOSOMBO DAM SHOULDN'T BE GRANTED BY THE U.S & THAT NKRUMAH WAS GOING TO USE IT FOR SUBVERS ...

    We Brongs will never follow these greedy Ashanti people. We will not take instruction from any of them. We will chart our own path.

  • KKK 11 years ago

    IT WONT WORK! BUSIA EFFECTIVELY WORKED AGAINST B/A INDEPENDENCE FROM THE ASHANTIS.

  • NEO NAZI 11 years ago

    BUSIA LEAVED AHEAD OF HIS TIME. HE KNEW THAT A BRONG COULD BECOME A KING JUST LIKE OBAMA IN THE US.

  • Kwesi Agbenu 11 years ago

    So Brongs will not take instructions from Ashantis??. So Brongs will now take instructions from Northeners, Fantes, EWES?--and that is acceptable.

    Frankie watch it ooooh!!!

    EWES will protect wicked Rawlings. So if U Brongs will reject your own Busia, so be it.

    What legacy did Osama Bin Busia leave? What should the Brong Ahafo protect. Should they be proud of a terorrist who organized "Bomb throwing" to kill innocent Ghanaians. Busia is the Osama Bin Laden of Ghana. Busia was not on ...

    Your baseless tribalism and hatred article against the efforts of the other tribes to move our mother land forward lack merit. Give us a break. If you have nothing good to write, go and sleep.
