This foolish sangapari is really an imbecile. If ever there will be a bomb, tribal or whatever, it will explode in sangapari's face as well as the faces of other P/NDC criminals who have looted, and continue to loot, from the nation's coffers. Have you forgotten how you and your PNDC brutalised and murdered thousands of innocent Ghanaians mostly Akans? Have you forgotten how you seized our properties at gun point? If there is any brain in your head it is not a human brain but mule's brain because any normal human being would shut his mouth rather than reminding the victims of your barbaric behaviour. I assure you a time will come when you will suffer the consequences of your stupidity, lies and foolishness. The same Kuffour that you accuse is the one who has saved you otherwise a criminal like you would not be alive to continue writing nonsense against Akans who have allowed you to live free in their midst.

THE TRUTH,
THE REAL TRUTH,
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH;
IS THAT EWES ARE THE WORSE TRIBALISTS IN GHANA. THEY ARE SO TRIBALLY-CENTERED THAT ONE IS NOT ABUSING THEM BUT DESCRIBING THEM TRULY WHEN ONE SAYS THEY ARE INWARD-LOOKING.
AN EWE WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO ANOTHER EWE TO THE EXCLUSION OF ANY OTHER TRIBE, AND WOULD PUSH EWES ANYWHERE GOOD TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHERS; EVEN THOUGH AT THE END OF IT, WHEN THEY GET HOME WITH WHATEVER THEY GET FROM THAT, THEY TAKE IT HOME AND DESTROY, HATE EACH OTHER AT HOME.
EVERYBODY IN GHANA PLUS AYIGBES AND ANYTHING, KNOW THAT ASANTES THOUGH VERY NEPOTISTIC ALSO, ARE VERY VERY DIFFERENT FROM EWES.
AN ASANTE DOES NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE RICH OR YOU HAVE THIS OR THAT, ALL HE WANTS IS TO DO WHAT HE CAN(EVEN IF CROOKEDLY) TO GET IT ALSO. AN EWE WOULD WANT TO HAVE IT TO THE EXCLUSION OF YOU. AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING IT, EVEN IF THE THING WOULD GET WROTTEN OR REMAIN STANDSTILL FOR 19YEARS, HE ODOESN'T ACRE.
AN ASANTE CAN GIVE FOR FREE, HELP, AND MAKE A MILLION PEOPLE RICH WHO ARE NOT ASANTE, AS LONG US HE ALSO GETS RICH, HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH YOU GETTING RICH.
ANYBODY IN GHANA PLUS SANGAMPERETEE THE WRITER HERE, SHOULD COME AGAIN AND DARE ME SAYING THAT I AM LIEING ABOUT THIS ATTITUDE OS ASANTES. AND I AM READY TO COME OUT AND WE GO TO THE SUPREME COURT (Ha ha ha !).
_______________________________
THE NEXT WORSE TRIBE IS GA ADANGBE, BUT THEIR NASTY WAYS ARE HIDDEN BECAUSE EVERYBODY THINKS ITS JUST ASANTE AND EWE WHO ARE TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING. ITS NOT SO.
LETS BE HONEST ABOUT IT, THE GAS ARE GHANA’S MORAL ARCHILIS HEELS. THE WORSE, MOST IMMORAL, MOST CORRUPT, MOST TRIBALISTIC, MOST NOISY,MOST SHOUTING, MOST QUARRELSOME, MOST TROUBLESOME, MOST STEALING, MOST EASILY-BRIBABLE, MOST IN-HYGENIC, MOST GHANA-CORRUPTING, MOST DISOBEDIENT TO RULES AND LAWS,MOST ELDERS-DISRESPECTING, MOST THIEFING LADIES, MOST CHEATING, MOST LAZY, MOST BOASTFUL-FOR-NOTHING, WANTING EVERYTHING FOR FREE WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT, MOST WASTEFUL, MOST SELLING-OUT, MOST DESTRUCTIVE OF NATIONAL ORDERLINESS, SO IMMORAL THAT EVEN RELIGION AND EDUCATION CANNOT PURIFY THEM, SO DUMM AND UN-INNOVATIVE, AND LEAST AND NOT THE LEAST, THE MOST IMMORAL , PROMISCUOUS AND DIRTY, IS THE GA TRIBE.
SHOW ME ONE (JUST ONE) OTHER TRIBE IN GHANA THAT IS LIKE THIS, AND I WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE REALLY HONEST AND YOU REALLY KNOW THE TRIBES OF GHANA. ASANTE AND EWE ARE NOT LIKE THIS.
GA, THE ORIGIN OF ALL IMMORALITY, CORRUPTION, DIRT AND LAWLESSNESS IN GHANA !. THE ACHILIS HEELS OF GHANA. GA STUPIDITY KILLS GHANA.
THERE IS CORRUPTION IN THE BLOOD OF EVERY GA, LIVING, DEAD AND UNBORN. UNLESS GHANA DEALS WITH THIS DIRTY NATURE IN THE GA PSYCHE AND REALITY, ALL GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO BE POISONED BY GA CORRUPTOLOGY.
DON’T TAKE MY WORDS, FIND IT OUT YOURSELF HONESTLY AND SINCERELY, YOU WOULD FIND IT SO. GAS ARE TOO CORRUPT FOR ANTHING GOOD PLUS EVEN RELIGION .
GHANA MUST WATCH OUT GA CORRUPTION, ELSE IT WILL KILL GHANA,.

Whatever is your problem, it is clear you've got a serious problem with Gas in particular. I am inclined to believe that a Ga beat you to a girl friend, a girl you loved so badly you thought there was no life for you without her, and so you nearly committed suicide. Where else can this rabid animus for Gas be coming from, if not from the strongest passion man has, according to Socrates, the desire to have sex with a woman? Ha! ha! ha! So you lost the object of your humongous sexual desire for a Ga girl and all Gas are all those those things? She must be some hot chic!

We heard that before, and have seen what your recycled poits. It will still be interesting see how you rebut or support this idiotic human- Sangaponkye. An embittered soul, who remains so because he was fooled by J.J. Rawlings and his hungry and angry opportunistic revolutionaries. The truth is, as stupid as he is, thinking outside the box was far-fetched as a consequence. The result is that he was left as a cadre, fighting against successful people in Ghana, in order to engineer an environment conducive for J.J. Rawlings and his people to kill, cheat and steal to wealth. In the end they- Rawlings and Co. climbed their way to wealth and allowed the moronic followers to hold unto the "fake" revolution, which became useless in a "democratic" setting.
The good hypothetical question/s, any sensible Ghanaian should ask is;If wealth is what you craved all this time, why did you have to kill others for it ? My answer lies in what jealousy does to the psyche.

In the last elections so many Fantes and Guans voted for NPP. If the tribalistic Anlos/Ewes and Northerners in the fante areas were not there NPP would have won in the Fanteland. NDC bribed electorate in gargantuan ways unprecedented in the annals of Ghana politics, yet their so-called winnings were marginal. Even in the controversial pink sheets before the Supreme Court, you will find the following figures in most polling stations:
NDC - 235
NPP - 201
Its only in Volta Region and Northerner regions, full of illiterates who can easily be bribed, that you see a whole gamut of people behaving like North Koreans.

By the time KU4's govt came to an end, Northners were agitating to succeed from Ghana, Gas wanted everything NPP away from Accra, as for Ewes the least said the better.
So you tell me which of the two were worse? Neither did well but KU4 with his age, experience, and education in western democracy performed worse when it came to dealing with members of other tribes.

For those bursting at the seam and hurling insults at Sangaparee for touching on a controversial subject which put Asantes/Akyems in a bad light (note, he didn't include a whole gamut of other Akan tribal groupings guilty of the same offence), here is something to put you more on edge and grit your teeth on. The blockbuster itself is coming later.
The seeds of the presently glaring tribal schism/s, divisions, prejudices, and bigotry, were planted in Ghana long before Rawlings was conceived and born! They were watered and harvested by Busia and the PP when he JJ had just joined the Ghana army as a gangling young man. It is to his credit that he managed it quite well (could've done better) and it never exploded into any ethnic violence.

EWE DEMONISATION: HOW IT ALL STARTED.
How the anti-Ewe hatred AND DIATRIBE, encapsulated in Ewe demonisation and vilification, began deserves a major article or book to cover. Of course, I had written extensively about the genesis of that on many occasions in the past on the Ghanaian premier forum Okyeame and Ghanaweb’s SIL in its early years in the ‘90s, covering the pre-colonial era to the present. This is therefore just a trip down memory lane.
If you know the facts and you are indeed an honest person, you cannot fault some Ewes for finally responding to decades, nay centuries, of abuse, both physical and verbal, against them by people from the Akan stock in particular. The historical records are there for all to review. I need to unpack my archives to deal exhaustively with this claim again but that's too much to handle now. Just a bit from Sandra Greene's and Dennis Austen’s books will do for now.
I have never seen the cleavage as an Asante/Ewe one, even though some Asantes and Ewes seem to be at the core of the squabble on both sides. Fact is, just as some of the choicest anti-Asante insults come from say Gas, Brongs and Fantis, some of the most virulent anti-Ewe diatribes come from non-Asantes, be they from B/A, E/R, C/R or W/R. They all share a commonality of belonging to the Matemeho tradition which coalesced under the Progress Party and sowed the seed of ethnic chauvinism and divisionism in Ghana; a fact captured in Dennis Austin' book “Ghana Observed.” With what he knew, he still marvelled at the highly inflammatory anti-Ewe rhetoric of the PP's campaign - the origin of the Ewes-are-dominating-us-mantra we still hear today on Ghanaweb in particular. So Austin observed in 1969:
“A surprising and disagreeable novelty of the election was the extraordinary anti-Ewe sentiment that was expressed in conversation with many of those who were against Gbedemah and his party. One can explain this strong animus not simply by a dislike of Gbedema’s reappearance in political life but in relations to events after the 1966 coup. Suddenly there were the soldiers and the police, and everyone burst out singing, but when the music died down away it was noticed that the NLC (it seemed) was commanded by minorities: Ewe and Ga. When Ankrah (a Ga), was moved out, and charges were brought over-hastily by Harlley against the Chief of Defence Staff, Michael Otu, the evidence to many was overwhelming. It was all an Ewe plot. Soon Ghana would be run for the benefit of an energetic minority, operating first within the armed forces, and now behind Gbedemah. ‘Appoint an Ewe to a public corporation or to a government department and within a year the entire hierarchy down to the messenger will be an Ewe.’ So the argument ran. And there was always some evidence for it, since the Ewe, deprived of any natural wealth in their own barren region, have been energetic in seizing the opportunities of public employment, including positions in the army and the police, which wealthier communities (like the Akan) did not wish to occupy. In practice, looking through the list of senior officers in government departments and the public corporations, the evidence is certainly not clear of any Ewe domination: it could hardly be in view of their number. But a belief does not, of course, have to be true before people hold it fervently.
Now there is an Akan-dominated government of an Akan dominated society. Were I to become, by some improbable chance of fate, leader of the governing party I would be much less apprehensive of my Ewe opponents in front than of the large and expectant following behind. I would be fearful too of the ambitions of those now excluded from power, remembering the Songs of Innocence that:
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caeser’s laurel crown” (D. Austin 1976:125)
Austin was writing with hindsight about what befell Busia’s regime, overthrown in a coup led by an Asante.
Of course, this apprehension of Ewe dominance, induced by already held pre-colonial and colonial prejudices against them, led to the sacking of mostly Ewes in the infamous Apollo 585 and the celebrated Sallah cases which exposed Busia as not a true believer in the rule of law principles with his infamous shouts of “No court! No court!….”
Prior to WW1, the Ewes were a very divided lot and didn't see themselves as same people. In fact, “enemies” is best word to describe the relationship amongst some Ewe states. Sandra Greene, writing about how the Anlos in particular started to view other Ewes as kindred folk, or in popular parlance, nyebros, wrote:
"Increased Anlo identification with their northern Ewe-speaking neighbors may have also been enhanced by the experiences many had while participating in migrant fishing. After World War 1, numerous groups of Anlo men and women traveled to other coastal areas, including the Fante area of the Gold Coast, in order to pursue their commercial fishing activities. For many, this was probably the first time they had traveled outside their home area, and/or to a district where they were a distinct linguistic minority. In these new locations, they conducted themselves as they had in their own home villages, but those among whom they came to live - often temporarily, just for the fishing season - came to view the Anlos' prosperity with jealousy and suspicion. Stories circulated that associated the Anlo with "blood-curdling" crimes. R.W .Wyllie (1969) indicates, for example, that from at least the 1930s "Fanti [children] learned to view the Anlos as thieves, kidnappers, sorcerers and ritual murderers."11. The social tensions that accompanied these beliefs - and the very fact that these beliefs were held by non-Ewe speaking people - must have heightened the Anlos' awareness of their linguistic and cultural background and generated some sense of identification with other Ewe-speaking peoples whom they would have encountered in the Gold Coast" (Sandra Greene 1995: 148).
The same kind of negative beliefs not based on facts were spread throughout where Ewes settled and became successful, from often arriving as "poor" migrant labourers and farm hands. Of course, there were the educated and resourceful Ewes too whose dedication and loyalty to duty ensured that Ewes became the preferred choice of employees not only in the foreign merchant houses but in the colonial administration too in the big towns. The typical rural Akan, upon gaining some education and moving to the city to look for white collar job, is often surprised to see that Ewes were already employed in such positions. How? They often wonder, just as a mate in Legon who thought I was an Akan asked while we were all waiting in queue at the Infirmary under the Cafetaria to see that white lady doctor in 1978 or so.
Jealousy and unfounded suspicions, as put by even foreign observers, derived from ancient prejudices against Ewes some see as weak, divided and unorganised people their ancestors could raid for captives, people who were mere labourers on their fathers’ farms, or struggling fisherfolk are at the root of the anti-Ewe diatribe, to which some of us had said enough is enough!
More later.

I can bet you to travel across the country and go into the hinterland and see how your folks are living peacefully with other tribes. They care about where the next meal will come from and nothing else. At the end of the day, the educated Ghanaian, who is supposed to know better will rather, ruffled the feathers or poked the eyes of the dead trying vainly to see a ghost like you.
Go to Kumasi, Adawso and other places, where Ewes have been living for years and advice them to leave. Trust me, the most evil and demonic creatures in Ghana are the educated ones not the uneducated. The later are always minding their business and nothing else. Peace.

But cos I write against bigots doesn't make me one since cos I stepped into the mud pit to rub the faces into the mud. sure, some mud get stuck to me too bu the difference between the pigs and the farmer is always clear, except to the profoundly inebriated observer!
Yes, I agree with you 100% that it is the miseducated Africans that are in the forefront of the rise of tribalism after the post-indpendent era. So Ian Wallerstein, writing in 1972 or so on the rise of the phenomenon in Zambia in the late 1960s wrote that it was the educated young ones who returned from school and started pointing out that these and that are not our people and they got these and those posts at our detriment. Before, he noted, Africans used to raid other tribes, captured and assimilated those very same people into their own tribes, performing rituals on them which forbade the revelation of their true origins to even their own children!
I had made those journeys into Akan territory already and had said so many times before. I did my National Service at Akyem Swedru and so know those parts quite well. It was amazing to discover some Ewes living deep in the bush at Otwereso Camp or so when my adventures took me there. I was then under the impression that I was the first Ewe travelling there!
Then, I've collected data at Cape Coast, Shama, Elmina and been to Sekondi-Takoradi, Jacobu and Nyinhain, last two in the Ash/R. For several years, a senior sister was the Head of the AG's Office in Kumasi and I've got loads of relatives there who have made Kumasi their home for decades. An auntie was Mrs Odamtten (nee Kwawukume), whose midwifery gave birth to many Asantes. The only house a cousin who was not even born there was building when he died at the tender age of 48 is in Kumasi. His Asante wife is now in control of that building. We don't have a Wofa system, you know? Hmm! That may be one reason the Asante ladies dig us so much. I never failed to score in my heady days!:-) Phew!
So in short, I am not after those poor and innocent Akans or Asantes, whatever, but the miseducated ones among them who started all this tribalism nonsense by attacking Ewes. The records speak for themselves. Don't they? Just posted what some foreign observers of Ghana wrote, so don't take my words for it; do your own soul-searching or research if you don't know. I've done both and you are only benefiting from those efforts!

Man Andy-K, the foreign observers have said it all from the prism of objectivity. Those who claim Ghana as their property can say everything bad about the Ewes. But we gave them their national anthem. What else again?

Xebioso, we gave Ghana more than the National Anthem and are still giving. In fact, I can't start counting as it is impossible to list all.

Listen to self, no Ashanti I know would ever insult his or her own tribe, let alone disgrace self to a foreigner ! Ask me why?
We may be boastful sometimes when being nutty because of our rich land- (gold) and rich culture but remains one of the resourceful, hard-working and ingenious tribes in Ghana, and I say this with no qualms and from the bottom of my heart!
I really don't have to say this because I am all for peace in Ghana. But to those who hate Ashantis, open your ears and open it widely, we really do not care because if you touch us, we will hunt you down! if you think am lying, read our history.

pepeni can not be trusted period , in this world today when Muslims and their undercover agents disguised as Christians have the agenda to destroy all virtues and values we uphold we must be vigilant and not be deceived. Boston paid the price already and here in Ghana we see the inflation of northerners across all parties following the instructions of their imams and religious leaders to seize control of the country to undermine and destroy the Akans, for which pepeni found allies with ewes and gas who have the same agenda and motives. look at akuffo addo the bofrot of a fool who took as his vice bawumia who could even bring him a single vote from the north and even whose mother campaigned against him . see general mosquito the court jester of a goat serving this regime that will annihilate his own people one day. these are serious times for those who can look at the ugly truth in the face and tell these devils to get lost. our people get poorer by the day despite the wealth we sit on , no water and electricity , every week one shortage or another of basic goods and services yet their propaganda machinery tell us all is well and normal . every office and institution of govt is in the vice grip of corruption as they make sure only selfish greedy bastards control them, no jobs or development as kotoka and rawlings the ewes saw to that now pepeni will finish the job of putting the final nails in the coffin of the Akans but we have the medicine for him. we shall most surely be free sooner or later from this devil, long live the republic of Akan

The ewes started the tribalism in Ghana,
Kotoka dispatch three tonners bedfords trucks to carter fisher men from the Volta region and into the army.
Rawlings started with Arnold quinoo the coward who was lying under his bed during the heat of the revolution and later under tables in Leberia when he should be defending a head of state Samuel canyon doe.
This buffallo coward started dismising all northen and akan officers during Rawling time, were were you at the time when sousoudis an evwe spy was used to exchange 7 Ghanaians good citizens.Were were you when the kofi Awonor stated that, the Revolution was for the ewes to demonstrate their superiority over the other tribes,
were were you when your own brother sgt alidu zinata was been shot by sgt omega with the bleesings from Rawlings.

A Lion was walking through the jungle and met a Zebra. "Do you know who the king of the jungle is?" he asked the Zebra. "You are the king of the jungle," replied the Zebra.
The Lion kept walking and came upon a Gorilla. The Lion roared and said, "Gorilla, do you know who the king of the jungle is?" The Gorilla said, "Lion, you are the king of the jungle."
Next the Lion met an Elephant. He asked the Elephant if he knew who the king of the jungle was. Without ado, the Elephant reached down with his trunk, grabbed the Lion by the tail, and slammed him up against the nearest tree.
The Lion, dazed, got to his feet and said, "Geez, you don't have to get mad just because you didn't know the answer.

You appear not to understand the potential threat of inflaming passions by reading tribe, language, ethnicity into every single argument, debate about politics and economics in Ghana.
Take a look at what happened in other parts of the world and learn some lessons for the future; Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia and all those terrible deaths that occurred as a result of ignorance, tribalism and racism.
Nkrumah and earlier politicians gained independence for Ghana on the basis of one country, one nation and one people. It appears current commentators and politicians are behaving badly and retrogressively, in bringing into Ghana a new politics of tribalism, divide and rule or not and possible development which might lead to tribal war.
We should stop this nonsense and address issues that we all have in common; medical care, unemployment, education, housing, prices, water, electricity, the well being of everyone in this country and not just a particular tribe or two.

When we Asantes are in trouble we call upon all Akans and say we are blood.When the Ashanti Confederacy refused to join the Gold Coast and wanted to form a country of our own 'Yate ye ho' we did not call on the Akans to join us.Akans are not all the same but we are all Ganaianas like others.We call the Ewes No.9 because they were the last region to join Ghana.What about about the Ashantis?We were the last but one to be forced to abandon our 'Yate ye ho' to join the country.

When an Asante in trouble he or she call himself AKAN but when something good he called himself an ASANTE, Asantes value the dead more than the living being , My advise to u all is to ignore them and continue with our life.

Akosua,
Ewes are not called No. 9 because their region was the last to join Ghana! The VR got the tag No. 9 because the contestant No.9 from the newly created VR won the Ghana independence Beauty Pageant! Regions in Ghana by 1957 were not up to 9 in number, btw.
And btw, not all Ewes were in the TVT. Much of Eweland, from Peki, thru Tongu to the coastal Anlo area, was already part of the Gold Coast colony before Asante became a Protectorate in 1900, and part of the Gold Coast Colony in 1946 under the Burns Const.
Much of the nonsense we get on Ghanaweb is due to the vulgar ignorance about our history, geography and political economy of Ghana, since the pre-colonial times.

HOW SOME “EWES” BECOME PART OF PRESENT GHANA
To say that one is sick and tired of reading ignorant utterances about how “Ewes” were given the chance to join Ghana by Nkrumah from patently jaundiced and bloody-minded, ignorant fellow Ghanaians is a big understatement. I have therefore put together a concise history of how some “Ewes” became part of Ghana for all readers.
I am under no illusion whatsoever that this brief piece will stop the bozos who indulge in this kind of display of ignorance from doing so even after reading this; not only because of the scientifically recognised fact that awareness and knowledge of adverse causes and better practices do not necessarily stop continuation of adverse behavioural practices nor adoption of best practises, but also because the putrid and rotting worm-wood from which they emerge from, that is, our educational system, continues to churn out similarly ignorant and foolish elements on an annual basis. The problem must therefore be addressed at source.
Steeped in the foregoing knowledge, I have carved for myself a monstrous-looking spikes studded club to deal with any such miscreants who might be provoked by this article to begin their ethnic cleansing of the much vilified “Ewes” from Ghana to Togo.
I would not bother myself now and again with a recount of how the groups of linguistically and culturally different peoples who now comprise the ethnic group known to many as “Ewes”, but which linguists now have tagged the “Gbe” people, migrated and settled within the borders of Togo and present Ghana up to seven hundred years ago, as Ghana came into being on 6 March 1956, and that is where my story begins.
After all, it was Gbedemah, an “Ewe,” and the leader of the Committee for Youth Organisation (CYO), who was asked to replace him (Nkrumah) as General Secretary of the UGCC, who convinced him to leave the UGCC and gave him the chance to lead the CPP which was being formed by elements within the CYO; and who again gave him his Accra seat and led the campaign for the CPP and Nkrumah to win while in prison to become Leader of Government Business. Gbedema himself went to stand for the Keta seat. If Gbedema had not done that, he would have become the first Leader of Government Business, not Nkrumah; so Gbedema, an “Ewe,” gave Nkrumah the chance in more ways than what I have referred to in the foregoing to become leader of independent Ghana.
Nkrumah, of course, a chief in his own right in Nzema, got his first ceremonial chieftaincy title in Anloga, when he came on his Thank You visit, for the valiant roles Ewes played in the election victory of the CPP. That was before everything turned sore and Anloga led the revolt against the CPP in 1953 for breach of election promises not to enforce the much hated poll tax and not properly dealing with grievances about the cutting of swollen shoot diseased cocoa trees and failing to increase cocoa prices when the world price was hitting the roof, thanks to the Korean War. The decision not to increase cocoa prices paid to farmers was due to the infamous “anchor of safety” (it created the large reserve on attainment of independence, btw) and stemming inflation advice he, Nkrumah, accepted from the West Indian Nobel Laureate Sir Arthur Lewis. Some Anlo elite were also major cocoa farm owners in the TVT and elsewhere. The riots that started in Anloga and spread to the rest of the country were well documented by Dennis Austen in his seminal book on Ghana, so check it, if you want to be properly informed. Those events had deep impacts on the Anlo elite and eventually led to the coup of 1966 spearheaded by some Anlo officers in the Police and Army.
Those of you who like to criticise Kofi Awoonor for what he wrote in his book “The Ghana Revolution” should also look up his book specially devoted to Asantes and Ewes to read what he said about how they escaped from Anloga across the Volta to Ada Foah when the “Buga Buga War” started. I bet you never heard of that war before, eh?
So, nobody gave Ewes the chance to join Ghana in 1957, as some Ewe stalwarts led in the fight to create modern Ghana. Left to some Ewes though, they'd have seceded from the Gold Coast, to which they were lampooned by the British many decades earlier and had become fed up with because of the nascent demonization and vilification started by the forebears of today's Ghanaweb jaded jingoists. I had already partially dealt with that in an earlier article.
Moreso, the coastal areas from Anlo, through Tongu up to Peki and Awudome, part of the Eastern Province of the Gold Coast, were even indeed declared part of the British sphere of influence way back in 1850, 6 yrs after the signing of the Bond of 1844 with the Fantes. The British “bought” in 1850 the area from the Danes who were forced to leave the Gold Coast after they were defeated with Napolean at Waterloo. Interesting to note that Norway, then under Danish control for over 400 years, was also passed over to the Swedes, allies of Britain at Waterloo.
The area was declared part of the Gold Coast proper in 1876 or so. Before that, the Anlos had sued for peace with the British at the close of the Glover War and a Peace Treaty was signed at Dzelukope after the Sagrenti War of 1874. I have a sketch of that historical event which appeared in the UK Graphic of Oct, 10 1874, which I am attaching to this article, as it is a historical relic of interest to many. You’d see sitting with a King Adjaba of Awoonah, War Captain “Cocoomay” and Chief Asantee Ambassador “Okobim Paba” addressing them and you’d know where yours truly comes from. Our ancestors played their roles on the battle fields and on the high table when the Gold Coast and its history were being carved, so before you open your mouth against us, ask yourself who born you? The Ga kings Tackie from Accra and Solomon from James Town were also there, among others.
In fact, those wars were fought due to events which occurred in northern Eweland (precisely at Ho), when Asante slave raiders kidnapped and took the missionaries there too to Kumasi as hostages for ransom. Of course, not only the missionaries were taken, as even some who helped the Asantes soon found themselves as captives at Kontsiabu instead of the promised gold dusts but that is another story altogether I had recounted elsewhere and is due for recounting soon. With the decisive defeat of Asante and her steadfast Anlo ally, that Ewe area known in the annals as “Krepi” through Buem, Dagbon in N/R to present Upper East, which later on became known as the TVT, became a British Protectorate until after the Berlin Conference when Queen Victoria gave it as a birth day present to her German cousin, who famously wanted a "place in the sun" in 1884. The Germans already had a small trip of Togoland. So the TVT was even under British sphere of influence for some years before being given to the Germans.
In 1915, at the start of WWI, the British took back the area and much of German Togoland (the French took the eastern part) with the help of troops raised by Torgbui Sri II, for which he was awarded the KMAC and sword of honour, and inducted into the LegCo in 1916 with Nana Ofori Attah of Akyem Abuakwa. After WWI, despite the campaign by the natives to unite the whole of Togoland to the Gold Coast, the British kept what they gave to the Germans in 1884 (TVT) and gave the rest - what the Germans had before - to the French, thus forming present Republic of Togo. Of course, the records show that it was Torgbui Sri II who was the first to call for the unification of Togo to the Gold Coast way back in 1915. By the end of the war, it was fully embraced by some native leaders of German Togoland, some of whose leaders sent a letter to the colonial government of the Gold Coast which curiously stated inter alia:
“We PEOPLE of Togoland, descended from two principal countries, Elmina
(Ane) and Accra (Ge), both of the Gold Coast Colony, ask to have British government because it is the government of our fathers, whose customs are our customs, and a British Colony is half-an-hour distant from us.
We ask to have British government because it is the government of our kith and kin, our race and our tribe.
We ask for British government because of our relationship with our people on the west, which must assert itself...” (“December 6, 1919 edition of the West Africa magazine, culled from West Africa 12-16 Dec. 1994)
I have always wondered why no mention of being “Ewes” was made by the supplicants. Of course, conspicuously absent too were names of many others such as Dagombas, Konkombas, Dagbons, Akans, Kabres, Mamprusis, Frafras, Nkonyas, etc., etc., who also have the TVT and Togo as their homeland at the time too. That was not an auspicious beginning for their objective, being what they were: descendants of fugitives who have settled amongst the original Ewe speakers!
Anyway, how those claiming to be Gas and Anes (Anyis) in Togo got there is quite another story I had re-told a number of times but I’d like the Akwamus and Asantes, former allies of we Anlos, to tell us their versions respectively. And to those ignorant and jaded MPs of the NPP who went to Lome to look for the roots of Fiifi Kwetey, who of course, claimed to be from Nogokpo in the Klikor area, and thereby rubbing a sore spot in my memory, next time they should begin the search in Ayawaso so that I am not reminded of Dzenunyegbodzi and the treacheries of Klikor!
How that desire for a union with the Gold Coast turned into the drive for secession is quite another story I had already touched upon in a previous article. In any case, the plebiscite of 1956 was to determine whether TVT, a UN Mandated Territory, should be added to the Gold Coast or rejoin present Togo. It was a messy affair, as it did not take into account the wishes of the Ewe Unification Movement, which had reached fever pitch in southern Eweland from Anlo to Peki, already part of the Gold Coast, and which was prevented from taking part in the plebiscite. Had those areas taken part, enough votes would have been garnered to secede from the Gold Coast, as a majority voted in the Ewe areas of the TVT to secede. Unfortunately, their votes were outweighed by votes from the non-Ewe areas of the TVT stretching from northern VR through eastern section of Northern Region to much of present Upper East. Indeed, parts of the TVT were also later added to the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions too by Nkrumah and Busia. So, only a portion of the TVT was added to the Eweland within the Gold Coast to form the present VR. Those of us who come from the south were thus part of the Gold Coast decades earlier before 1900 when the Protectorate of Asante was declared after their defeat in the Yaa Asantewa War; and before 1946, when the Burns Constitution made Asante and Northern Territories part of the Gold Coast Colony proper too.
That, in brief, is how parts of Eweland and some Ewes became a part of present Ghana. It is a pity that this basic history is not taught in our basic schools so that all know this somehow. Rather, we get all kinds of ignoramuses spewing rubbish about how Nkrumah allowed Ewes to join Ghana and they would deport Ewes to Togo! I am waiting for them bozos with my spikes studded club. Let no one say I didn’t warn them!

Look Andy, the best solution to this Ewe-bashing is for those claiming Ghana as their property to excise the Volta Region from their midst or we the Ewes peacefully exit/excise ourselves from the entity called Ghana.

Yes, Xebioso, even their educated ones are alarmingly so ignorant! But who to blame? Are there not Ewe teachers in almost all their wicked villages teaching them? Not in their secondary schools? Not teaching them in the higher institutions? Blame the educational system which does not cover a lot about us as Ghanaians! Our history, geography, political economy since pre-colonial times, etc. are exclusive preserves for a very few.
In the 1970s, you can get 1 in Geography without even knowing that cocoa is produced in the VR too. In fact, without knowing where and where cocoa is produced in Ghana! That's why, in spite of Dr Frimpong-Ansah's superlative book, Ghana: The Vampire State, Dr Kofi Ellison, one of the most informed Asantes in cyberspace could get into an argument with me in the '90s about whether VR also produce cocoa! And we read daily on Ghanaweb about how Voltarians are sponging on them! Phew! Ignorance is killing us as a people!

BTW, no one wanted to be part of a Gold Coast colony; not even the Fantes and those who signed the Bond of 1844 with them, which, btw, was just a treaty of friendship, not colonisation! Did uou read somewhere of the Fante Confederacy and King Ghartey and how the British stopped them from establishing their indep. entity? Fantes acquired machinery to start the Obuasi Mines before a colonial legislation banned them from doing so and selling to the British. Colonisation was bad for us all. Some Fantes would have been world class multi-billionaires long time ago.
And in spite of regular bombardment of our coastal towns from boats on the sea, or from the fort in Keta, we Anlos continued to fight the British until they managed to get some new steam gun boats to enter the Volta river to bombard inland towns too before we surrounded in 1874.
Pls, drop that myth about only the Asantes fighting against British imperialist encroachment.

Start pushing Ewes out of Ghana and lets see how it ends. Ewes and other minorities have a good reason to stay away from the NPP because that is what they represent, bigots, intolerant tribalist, arrogant fools, and plain stupid, many have now come to realize that your types are many in the NPP hence the NPP will continue to win two regions in every election till your kinds are far away from the party.

Ewes on the other hand, act sometimes as if they own Ghana forgetting that, they only became part of Ghana via a plebiscite in 1958.
Stop preaching virtue and practicing vice. You talk of a bigot, an arrogance, stupidity and tribalism and sees John Jeremiah Rawlings staring at you.
Who is arrogant than J.J Rawlings? His ego and stupidity, led to the killing of the supreme court judges and innocent Ghanaians in the 80's.
These killings were senseless and could have been avoided but what did he do, he ordered for the killing of a pregnant judge!
And you think the NDC won the 2012 election? You must be in a dream-man's land. Every body including you knows that this election was not only manipulated but stolen in the clear day of light by greedy NDC bigots and 'Yes' men who would do anything to hold on to power regardless it's consequence and you wonder why the country is deteriorating so rapidly than the speed of light as this very administration can not even provide it's people with electricity and water.
And to those who hate us-Ashantis, open your ears and open it widely, we really do not care because let me tell you all right now, if you touch even a single stroke of hair on any Ashanti, we will hunt you down. If you think am lying , learn our history for we are not scared of anything but God!

KUDOS to you brother. Huh. Where are you. I want to eat ampesi with you whereever you are. These my Grandfather farm hands are annoying me. How ungrateful these INWARD LOOKING Ewes are. My parents house helps were Ewes. Afia Ayigbe, Ama Ayogbe, Agya Mensah, Akwasi Ayigbe etc. My mother bought Ama clothes load of things when she was going to marry. My mother protected Afia Ayigbe from a neighbour son who was interested in her. My mother never allowed Ama or Afia to sleep after her. They all served us and was deservedly rewarded and seen off.
#They came to visit us with thei children.
#Hey Ama and Afia carried me on their backs. It is sad this guy has forgotten his MAKER and insulting me.
#Agya Mensah will come for loans upon loans from my mother. I used to type the loan agreements for them. How can you accuse Kuffour, when for 28 years- J J RAWLINGS EWES PNDC/NDC were persecuting Akans and killing them. I dont support Kuffour but I support freedom of speech and association and Kuffour guaranteed them. Kotoka betrayed Dr Kwame Nkrumah, hence Kuffour was just afraid of being overthrown. Kuffour only learnt from history and experience with Busia and Nkrumah. I would have done the same, to cover my back. The Coup detat Ewes risk.

Mr Sangaperee your article is not rich. It has no depth. You mis-represent UNITY. You are only exposing your ethnocentricism. If Ghana is not for the Asante/Akyems it's also not for the Anlos and the Ewes.
Is not ur fault is the fault of we the Akans and the greedy kwame Nkrumah who has done this .may God punish him for his greedyness.
Blinking idiot. Bawumia is an Asante, Nyaho-Tamakloe isa an Assin, Ciurage Quarshigah was an Akyem.
Ifd thewse publishers knew mtheir job -- or their country -- such idioys mwould be asked to export their nonsense to the ...

HE FORMED THE NDC ON TRIBAL BASES AND TRIED TO WIN PEOPLE BY PUTTING THEM AGAINST THE AKANS... BUT HE IS MARRIED TO ONE.
NPP CAN DEFINITELY NEVER WIN ANY ELECTIONS IN GHANA ANY MORE. WE THE OTHER TRIBES WILL ENSURE THAT NPP REMAINS IN OPPOSITION FOR DECADES. THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST IN 2016. SO THEY SHOULD BEGIN THINKING OF 2020, WHICH, I AM SURE ...
