If all Ghanaians think like you, I'm afraid the country will be a choas. You sound like someone who will fight for the formation of a federal government. To be frank with you, contrally to what some of us think, the average Ghanaian would vote for whoever catches their eye and they think is capable first before the tribal instinct pops in. Don't down your tribemen 'coz one has not emerged as a flagbearer yet. Everything has it's time and the patient ones always come out beaming when you least expect.

you see the gas should naturally be conservative(ie nnp) because they occupy the richest land in ghana. they think their natural enemy are the ashantis instead of their allies. henry you live in kumasi what have learn from the ashantis that you can possibly transfer to your people. do you know that the gas founded the NPP so what happen to them. its a known fact that the gas dont like voting for their own. jake obetsebi father was disgraced by his own gas in favour of kwame nkrumah. all the politicians know that the gas are not a loyal electorate and should you give them one of their own it could be a fatal mistake this is a fact the akans has given more money than any goverment in the history of this country yet the gas despice them. rather would'nt be better if you do business with them. to buttress my point look at how all the tribe are pillaging ga lands yet the gas do fuckall. jake a ga man buys a govt property ga land and a fellow ga man is preventing him from taking it and this man is a ga hero.it shows you have got your priority right the gas rather give it to nigerian say that to an ewe or ashanti man. henry i dont think your people are hungry for power.

Not even 30% of Accra lands belongs to the gas anymore, they have sold all out. The gas are the most disunited GHANAIAN in tribe.

The author mentioned a lot of Ewes found in Ministries because they stick together which is inward-looking. Only a buffoon will suscribe to this definition.Gen.Kotoka invited Gen Ankrah to head the NLC although he played no part in the coup that ousted Nkrumah.This is an Ewe giving the reigns of state affairs to a Ga man to the angst of Afrifa.Is that inwardness?

You stated that all Ga intellectuals are affiliated with NPP which stands for the elites as against NDC which is mainly for the illiterates and the grassroots who are very hard to understand who can rescue a nation from the doldrums and create wealth for the people but not necessarily putting free monies into their pockets.
It takes vision and a well informed persons to do this job and has nothing to do with who or where one hails from or which tribe one come from.
Kpakpo,'Efio mi ake onii ye mmobo waaa' because you have admitted that Akans are mostly learned people but Gas and all other tribes are mostly 'Kobolos'that's why NDC preys on their ignorance and uses them to win power and dumps them afterwards and leaves them to their own fate and goes back to them when political campaigns begins. I'm sorry for you, you need to go back to Workers College and better your grades and find some degrees and join NPP for them to use you to draw your Ga people to give their votes to NPP for a Prosperous Ghana because the so-called better Ghana agenda was or is a hoax, ok?

Are we all mentally retarded?. Just look at appointments in Ghana today.We are really sitting on a time bomb and we should not bury our heads in the sand.

Three Ga Pastors in Acra were having lunch in a diner.
Ayikoi Otoo said "Ya know, since summer started I've been having trouble with NDC mouse in my loft and attic at church. I've tried everything--noise, spray, cats--nothing seems to scare them away.
Professor Ocquaye said "Yea, me too. I've got hundreds living in my belfry and in the basement. I've even had the place sprayed, and they won't go away."
Obetsebi Lamptey said, "I baptized all mine, and made them members of the church... Haven't seen one back since!!!
The three Ga pastors don't know what they are doing and are not role models for the Gas.
Obetebi Lamptey,Ayikoi Ottoo and Ocqyaye caused many Ga's to bolt from the NPP party because they did not condemn Kennedy Adjepon's statements about killing ewes and Ga's.
How can their own people trust them?
Instead of a professor spending time to write helpful things,he tried to change history about Nkrumah's contribution to Ghana.

THEN CALL A CONFERENCE OF THOSE WHO OWN THE LAND AND WARN THEM TO STOP SELLING WHAT IS LEFT. GAS SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE TO STOP GOVERNMENT FROM ACQUIRING HUGE PLOTS OF LAND IN ACCRA.

Ga people think more about their stomach than anything else hence, their despicable and deplorable state. Look at the current NDC chairman in Greater Accra in the person of Ademola Coker. This man is a pure Nigerian and how on earth can he be chosen as NDC Chairman and where are the Gas? I do not care who says what about Ademola Coker whether his father or mother is a Ghanaian. Tweaa. Ga people should stop thinking about their stomach and push themselves up the ladder. Go to where typical Ga people dwell and that will tell you exactly who and what they are. Filthy motherfuckers. Ga people are pure dirty. Facts are hard to accept and they know that. If their beaches are developed to attract tourist, they will be traumatized because they will have no where to us as toilet and do such people with such stupid mentality ever think of nurturing a leader to contest any leadership position in Ghana?

The NPP need to start working on a strategy to broaden the party's appeal to ordinary citizens of the non-Akan tribes. For starters Bawumia should be seen as a good enough flagbearer to lead the party to the 2016 elections. He should be retained for the 2020 election in the event he loses the 2016 elections. After all the late Prez Mills eventually won the presidency after two failed attempts. If Bamumia was deemed capable enough to represent the three petitioners in the hearing he should be deemed capable to lead the party. Alan is now damaged goods and should not be considered under any circumstance. Retain Nana Addo and the NPP party will fail to make inroads in 2016. Does anyone remember why Margaret Thatcher kept winning elections? It was because the Labour Party kept Neil Kinnock as their leader. He was so unacceptable that he even lost to John Major in 1992 at a time when the Tories were so unpopular. Once Kinnock was replaced by Tony Blair Labour won a landslide victory. This is not rocket science. The NPP flag bearer has to be tactically selected to increase the party's chances of electoral victory in 2016 / 2020.

What a load of tosh! The fact is Gas will always form a minority everywhere apart from in Accra because we make up a small proportion of the population of Ghana. In a nation where voting patterns run along ethnic lines, the Ga candidate will have to be truly exceptional to garner enough votes to beat an Akan or Northern candidate. Simple. Until Ghanaian politics develops to the point where issues and not ethnic background become centre stage, there is not much hope for the smaller ethnic groups. Why does every party strive for a candidate from one end of the country and a vice from another? For inclusiveness? Crap! Purely for ethnic votes. Please I am Ga... You may or may not be, but don't expose your ignorance.

The average Ga intellectual looks down on his fellow Ga people. Gas are their own enemies. It is worse at the workplace. When o, when, gas!!!
YOU FORGOT DR. JOSIAH ARYEH
Living, as you say in Kumasi, it seems you have lost touch with your Ga traditions and roots. What are you doing in Kumasi? Have the Ashantis done you any wrong for you to engage in such a meaningless exercise? What do you se ...

Stop this stupid rantling and produce the evidence on the whole transaction, the court rule, the out-of-court settlement agreements, sales and payment receipts, valuation reports etc etc and stop fooling around,
You are playing NDC and NPP against each other. I hope they get the message and make a Ga person a vice president or president. On the other hand, you too may start a party and draw all the people from both parties.
Ga people think more about their stomach than anything else hence, their despicable and deplorable state. Look at the current NDC chairman in Greater Accra in the person of Ademola Coker. This man is a pure Nigerian and how ...

WHAT THE WRITER IS SPEWING IS NONESENSE. WE ARE PASSED THAT STAGE. TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY SOLELY BASED ON TRIBAL NONESENSE IS AN INSULT TO ALL GHANAIANS. MAY THE MOST QUALIFIED GHANAIAN ALWAYS BE PRESIDENT. SHAME ...

I think seeing the PRESIDENCY through the tribal prism is dangerous.Any comment,Okunka?
What a load of tosh! The fact is Gas will always form a minority everywhere apart from in Accra because we make up a small proportion of the population of Ghana. In a nation where voting patterns run along ethnic lines, the G ...

Whho fights for Wassas, Akuapems, Kanjarkas, Denkyiras, Bonos, Assins, Twifos, Kwawus, Kusasis, Dagartis?
The writer must stop his nonsense
You are such a great uninformed person on Earth. You can return to Ili Ife if you want to. Guans who own the whole of Ghana are not even complaining......
I hate this tribal issues which people always write in this forum.Stop complaining and do the right thing than rather blaming others.
Hmmmmmmmm, even Gas do not usually see the Dangme land as their 'kith and kin'. They most often feel ashamed of their heritage. For example the fore most Ga man in the NPP can not speak his own tribe language.
not a bad observation, buy there reservations in my comment
