Is the NPP elect-ability as a leader based on competence, meritocracy, wait-your-turn, or pure patronage?

Among all the candidates vying as flag-bearers, who is the better debater, competent, conversant, efficient, effective, electable vis-a-vis Jon Mahani?

How does NPP practice internal decentralization/devolution of power to the regions, in order for the party to spread this paradigm across the country and unleash the energies of masses to elect their own reps and solve their own problems, for effectiveness and efficiency, instead of one person making over six thousand appointments or the privilege few in our winner takes all dispensation?

Can you imagine each region managing to the best of their abilities and electing their own leaders in undiluted decentralization; whilst leaving the central parliament to concern themselves with weightier national issues?

How does this party better the internal processes of internal elections, procedures and other mechanisms?

Pastor Mensah Otabil urges Ghanians to develop a 20 years dev't plan; but how come the Permanent National Dev't Planning Commission is broke and what's NPP's plans to make it Permanent and develop short, medium and long range dev't plans?

But then...

"We need to be more accommodating to all tribes, especially in our actions and speeches; we need to nurture the young ones to take responsible positions in our party. The current situation, where the highest bidder is given the nod is killing the ambition of brilliant, but poor young guys from other tribes."

The quote above was all that was needed to end the article. All what you wrote are just "by products" of the main problem that the NPP currently faces. The quote just sums it all up. If your party can act on the above, victory will be yours forever since the NDC's Ashanti propaganda would no longer work.

Dont forget that the NPP once tried very hard to paint the NDC as an Ewe party until Atta Mills took over. Since then the Ewe dominance in the NDC had eroded dramatically. The Ewe tag on the NDC no longer sells. If the NPP does according to your suggestions the Asante/Akyem tag will equally loose its credibility no matter how hard their opponents may try.

NPP plays so much on the tribal card. Even die hards like Ayikoi otoo have said it. I will love to see papa owusu ankomah or jake and maybe bawumia elected as flagbearer!! That to most of us is a very tall order

Why is the NDC not interested in branding the PNC as Northern or Upper West&East Party as they have only had leaders from there and won parliamentsry seats from there. The NDC is not doing that because it will not benefit them in anyway. If the NDC was only presenting facts they would have branded other parties like the PNC, DPP, PPP by where they dominate. The NDC is only doing this to the NPP because they have a section of Ghanaians who only look at tribalism to vote, they don't look at competence. So the NDC has taken advantage of such plotical illitrates and deceiving them.

IS THE NPP AN ETHNOCENTRIC, HOMOPHOBIC AKAN-PARTY? ASK YOURSELF - DOES BEAR SHIT IN THE WOODS????

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO AN NPP POLITICAL RALLY?? EVEN AT NPP RALLY IN HO, TAMALE, BOLGA, LABADI - THE LANGUAGE USED ON THE STAGE IS TWI OR AT BEST TWI-ENGLISH.

IT SURPRISES ME THAT PEOPLE THINK PUTTING BAWUMIA OR NORTHERNER OR GA AS FLAG-BEARER WOULD WIN THEM ELECTION. THE BASIC FACT IS THAT NONE OF THESE NON-AKANS WOULD ATTRACT CAMPAIGN FUNDS, COMMITY, IDENTIFICATION ETC FROM AKAN BUSINESSMEN, BUSINESSES, CAMPAIGNERS, ETC. ITS AN AKAN STORY, IF YOU DONT BELONG, YOU DONT BELONG, IT WOULD BE A BARE SHAMBOLIC AND LOSING CAMPAIGN. THE NPP PARTY IS BUILT AROUND THE AKAN CANDIDATE. BAWUMIA, ETC WOULD JUST BE GRASPING AT STRAW, FISH OUT OF WATER. YOU THINK APPIAH-MENKA, AMOABENG, ETC ETC WOULD RELATE TO BAWUMIA IN THEIR BEDROOM MEETINGS LIKE THEY WOULD RELATE TO AKUFO-ADDO OR KYEREMANTENG????

If you know how NPP elect their presidential candidate, you will understand that Peter Touch did not make any sense. Before NPP elect their presidential candidate, Ten representatives are called from each of the Ten regions and it is these people who elect the presidential candidate to lead the party so, what is the meaning of "Ashanti party" being put on NPP by some ignorant Ghanaians?

Look, we need people who can lead and are competent. Remember that any man can impregnate a woman with his sperm and produce a child but when it comes to fatherhood, some man are useless so is leadership.

We are practicing tribal politics and that is very dangerous for Ghana. Mills took over NDC and what did he do? Look at Mahama, what is he doing other than acting naïve and ignorant?

Ashantis are evil but there are more people of different tribes in the Ashanti Region than any other region in Ghana and when was the last time some tribes came out reporting of maltreatment from the Ashantis?

We have to grow as humans and stop that foolish tribal politics that is destroying Ghana. We are in a boat on a rough sea which requires cohesiveness else, we sink together.

Its understandable that its no fault of the NPP that most of its members are Asante/ Akyem since most of the original founders were of Ashanti/Akyem origin. This means that most of the delegates wil also automatically be Akan making it hard for non Akans to have any influence in the party.

The NPP t4 need to expand on its pool of delegates esp from the minority tribes making it easy for them to also make significat head ways in the future. It is a fact that we need to work together, that is the only way out.

But we cant also ignore the fact that we are living things and would naturally gravitate more towards things we are familiar with.

Well, you have indeed made your point about his grammar but the fact remains that the party was declared 'yen akanfo party' by your big shots. So, what is this long write up for? Yen akanfo party means an Akan party and every Ghanaian understands that well and clear. This is the crux of his question. For me, this long piece is an unnecessary distraction from the one and only true conception; that the NPP is indeed owned by Akans, operated by Akans and will continuously fall because it is marginalised by some sort of default.

Continue to vote for NDC and remain in abject poverty. Just so you know, besides God Ghana's economy is in the hands of the akans that is the reason of all the envy. Ever wondering why the economy is not doing well?. As soon as NDC won the election, most akans in the diaspora decided to suspend any plans of investing in the country. The northern and the ewe brigade can continue to loot the country's coffers because that is what ghanians want.

NPP is a real party of Akans. Even if you change it, it will never be changed so long as the tribalistic ideas is inside you.

And you wrote: "Equally, it is difficult to fathom why the NDC, which abhors anything Akan, to garner over 600,000 presidential votes (representing 30% of valid votes) in Ashanti Region without an Akan Candidate". Reading your article, I thought I was going to savour objectivity until I came across the a/m quote. Why can't you get the simple fact that Asante Region may be Akan region but it's highly cosmopolitan with diverse tribes just like the Greater Accra Region. On the other hand, a place like the volta region has fewer non ewes due to lack of major commercial activities. It is therefore possible to suggest the % stated as coming from the Asanti Region may not include any votes from Asantes. Until you get this simple fact right, you will never find an innovative and effective solution to the npp's problems but keep blaming the whole world, but yourselves.

So being an Akan is a disadvantage in todays Ghana? Being an Akan disqualifies you from contesting presidential or parliamentary positions? What load of nonsense? Even if the Volta region had more commercial activities what makes you think they will welcome other tribes the way Asante region does? Why can't you lot get over you hatred for Akans? Should NPP just play politics and make someone a flag bearer just because he is non Akan? Are you voting for policies and a better life or you vote for tribes? What happened to competition and may the best man win? It is unbelievable how a seemingly educated person like you see to have been caught out by this tribal nonsense. Keep hating and you will all reap the disastrous fruits of ethnic conflicts sooner or later. Nonsense.

Have youn just realised how stupid you sounded! This is exactly my point! The writer is trying to make an argument that Asantes are objective and do not vote on tribal lines, unlike other tribes. This is what I was trying prove scientifically, and not sentimentally that it's BS to suggest that. Ghana is polarised because of tribalism and no single tribe can be extricated from this SHIT and to suggest NDC had 30% in the ashanti region is falacy. I hope you realise the true dermography of Bantama, Manhyia etc, and what other parties get from there. It's exactly because of this writer and people like you that is why Ghana is where it is. People like you give both the ndc and npp the chance to play chaskele with the country. Just look at how you started throwing tantrums without analysis. You don't vote for tribes that is why akans in the npp should secretly saying behind closed doors that "how can an nteni also lead us". You guys are born with that mindset and it is hard to erase. Even when you are abroad, you reject the idea of a non-akan leading a ghanaian association. Be truthful to yourself and your God you moron.

Fifi Kwetey said a northerner can never be president in Ghana. Would you call that a mind set or tribalsim?

What the writer sort to do was counter the propaganda used by the NDC for years to portray the NPP as an Akan party. Only fools like you swallow that NDC propaganda. Every quote the writer stated was to support his argument that those who accuse the NPP of being a tribal party are more tribalistic and divisive than the very people they accuse. Every tribe was born with a certain mind set including you yourself. If you are not proud of your tribe that is your problem. Leave Ashantis to be who they are, be who you are and other tribes should be who they are. If you try to suppress any tribe from being who they are, you will fail and that is what leads to conflicts. I'd rather have a tribe that is proud but very accommodating than one that is hostile and envious of others
All these anti ashanti sentiments will not change those people today nor tomorrow, the earlier some of you get that into your skulls and learn to live with them, the better it will be for you all.

Katakyie, is this the conclusion you came to after your analyses of the NPP electoral defeats in 2008 and 2012? Wow !!! You recently wrote two relatively objective analysis of what have been the reasons for NPP losing elections in Ghana. Did the NDC contest the 2000 and 2004 elections? What were the reasons for the NPP's success then? Regional voting, ethnic voting is worldwide political phenomenon. It is not only Ghanaian. How do you explain the massive votes that NPP gets in Ashanti and Eastern Regions? With those two regions in the NPP's corner all the latter has to do is win Greater Accra and every elections will be theirs.

To me the issue is not tribal. It is organizational. Even in opposition, the NDC was competitive in almost every region in Ghana. You see, the NDC takes some of its roots from the CPP's old organizational playbook - grass root organization. This has been the NPP's Achilles heel. And because presidential elections are popular vote contests, the NPP with its two regions, will always be competitive. Parliamentary elections reflect the national character of a political party. This is where the NPP is found wanting.

To me it is intellectual laziness to blame NDC so-called tribal politics for NPP's electoral defeats.

On a brighter side, at least you are not arguing that the NDC has been stealing the elections. I guess the ship has sailed.

The NPP party stands for all progressive people of "Sikaman" Ghana. The party was founded on democratic principles and will not deviate from it. There is every tribe and ethnic group of our beautiful land registered as members of the great "Osono" party and nobody can refute that fact. Danquah, Busia and Dombo tradition will forever remain the bedrock upon which the party will rest. The NDC have used lies and deception along the years to wrestle their way to the seat of president; this time, people have seen it all and won't make a mistake. Ghanaians are yearning for the return of he NPP as said by one of the party's leaders. NDC already knows it and that's why they feel agitated.

Katakyie, what exactly was the mystery behind the NPP's electoral defeat? It lost a close election primarily due to its inability to appeal to a large swath of voters. As for the notion that the NPP is tribal or Akan based....there is abundant evidence to support the claim...the late Aliu was deliberately pushed aside when it was his turn to be a presidential candidate and as scandalous as that was, it deep-sixed the NPP's fortunes in the north. Bawumia was just a token, a symbolic gesture designed to show the country that the NPP is not Akan dominated....but Ghanaians saw through that, at least, the other tribes realized they had a better chance with the NDC than throwing in their lot with the NPP.....look, until the NPP elects a non-Akan to lead its quest for electoral redemption, the label however outrageous will continue to be applied to the party.

" Aliu was deliberately pushed aside when it was his turn to be a presidential candidate and as scandalous as that was, it deep-sixed the NPP's fortunes in the north.

Your statement is a typical excuse given by losers. The presidency is not like musical chairs where people are given the position in turns. It should be about the individuals competence, vision and ability to deliver. Are you telling me Amissah Arthur should be made the next presidential candidate for NDC just because he has been a vice president or just because he is a fante?
If we continue long this route of voting putting people into positions because they are northerners, fantis, ewes, ashantior Ga we will continue to fail as a country.Are we electing people because of their competence or because of their tribe? Look at the state of Ghana today. Haters of Akans are equal to ignorant white people who hate blacks. Haters of Akans do it out of jealousy pure and simple. Continue applying the label to the party. Even the Americans eventually saw the light and voted for the first black president, so remember Jingoisis no condition is permanent. You can hate but cannot hate forever, one day one day you will also see the light.

You do a disservice you your party members by reading the present in the past and the not the other round with these statements. Why have you been silent about Nana Addo's Ye akanfu, and all die be die statements? That Kuffuor neglected an entire region( upper-West) from his cabinet for the reason that there was nobody qualified to serve is what will haunt your party to defeats.

Your article has just reminded us of why the NPP is an ethnocentric party which attempts to rally Akans, particularly Asantes, to its support. This follows the pattern established firmly by Busia during the 1969 Gen. Elections and carried forward by the NPP. Yes, we know about the origins of tribal politics in Ghana, not the reactions to them you listed. I myself had written copiously on the subject and is not even finished yet. I've an 8-part series ready for over a year. Even Prof. Awoonor's comments in his book were just reactions to the haunting of Ewes started by Busia and his PP. Just come to Ghanaweb and see how some bloody-minded Akans daily insult Ewes and people from northern Ghana!

The NPP won in 2000 thanks to the divisions and splits in the NDC. These were not healed by 2004. By 2008, I was shocked to see some many years die-hard opponents of the NDC on SIL soliciting for funds for the NDC cos they claimed they were fed up with the NPP's corruption! Die-hard NDC supporters were quarreling with them and saying it was blood money and the NDC shouldn't accept.

If you cannot see that the NDC is dominated by Akans too, but broad minded Akans who allow people from other ethnic groups to rise to leadership positions, then you'd never understand what's going to keep you in opposition in 2016 too.

Indeed, he is not only an incorrigible swine but also a devious liar and an epitome of an Asante supremacist, tribal bigot! They played the tribal for just too long and now that it has boomeranged on them, with even fellow Akans now very much aware of their false accusations against Ewes, disrespect for all other ethnic groups, including non-Akans who were not part of their Asante Kingdom. Even some of those vassal states are disrespected, hence the constant squabbles b/n them and the Brongs, for instance, they are moaning and pointing accusing fingers.
They are not aware of the Ewe adage which goes thus: egbor nye mitsi tso be gbome gblem ye le. Me nya be ye ntor fe mefinu gblem ye le o! Translated into popular English thus: the goat wey dey shit diarrhea shit around and thinks say ibe the neighbourhood wey it dey soil, no sabey say ibe it be it own anus wey it dey spoil!

Why blame Dr Agama when he is aware of the facts of how the PP campaigned against the NAL was purely Ewe vilification and demonisation and a display of Akan demagoguery? Let me post my piece on that to refresh his memory again, and educate the gullible people they want to fool.

Look, at this devious Asante idiot foaming at his mouth with his misplaced bigotry pretending that he doesn't know about the sequence of events which finally led to the exchanges in Parliament b/n Agama and Victor Owusu! You can fool your own uneducated, misedcuated and ignorant Asantes but not other Ghanaians. You can fool the others and tricked them into conquest and slavery but not we the Anlos. We are too smart for you! Ha! ha! Ha! Just try and you'd drown in the Volta once again! Little rats like you need some bitter history lessons. Just wait long enough and I'd feed them to you, whether you like it or not.

BTW, when an Ewe and Asante are put together, which of them looks more comely to behold?

Have you ever read anywhere an Ewe listing names of Asantes who have taken jobs from Ewes? Distributed list of Asantes said to holding all the top posts in the military and similar claims? Crying that the Asante Region was developed rather than the VR? So who what are the Ewes envious of? What do the Asantes have which Ewes don't have and want? We can also do jelly curls and put on gold chains if we want, you know?

I have posted below under the subject Telling It as It Is how the NPP tradition brought and intensified tribal politics into the country, starting from the 1950s. Which Ghanaian doesn't know that?

Go and challenge Dennis Austin and tell him that it was Dr Agamah who started tribal politics in Parliament, you jerk! Yes, the Parliament that came into being after the elections! Yes, tell us how Busia got angry at his tribalism and started sacking Ewes from their posts, leading to the infamous Sallah case. Devious liar, liar liar! Shame on you!

Ignorant as you are, you are not aware of the multiplicity of ethnic and linguistic groups in the VR. You think only Ewes are indigenous to the VR. Poor you!

Who thinks calling people more intelligent and civilised than you idiots make you feel superior!

You don't even know that trokosi is found at only a small section of Eweland, along the stretch ofv Eweland where Adangbe is written, from the Tongu area to Togo, where Adangmes have settled amongst Ewes. If you trace the clans of the trokosi priests and those who fall for them, you'd find out that they have Adangme origins. Of course, ignorant fools like you don't know that.

If you go northern Eweland, from Ho to Hohoe, areas, they never even heard of trokosi, and I doubt if many can even pronounce it properly.

Telling It As It Is: The PP/NPP’s Tradition of Tribal Politics

Folks,

Here is the another post from the archives. It should be an eye opener to all those who are claiming that tribal politics started under Rawlings and the PNDC. For others, it should reveal to them the origins of the ethnic foment and ethnic politics in Ghana under the NLC and then under the PP regime. It is that tradition that continues today, with the sympathisers of the NPP with Akan backgrounds being the main culprits.

I wrote the piece in response to Prof. George Ayittey, a major exponent of tribalistic analysis of politics in Africa. He failed to write a response though, since he has none. What I wrote then is still very relevant today and on this forum too. I’ve slightly edited it.

Incidentally, it was this very post Gamal Nkrumah took exception to, as he wrongly thought I was referring to him when I wrote “incestuous Egyptians”. I found out and explained to him that he and present Egyptians were far from my mind, as I was referring to the ancient and real Kemetians. Kofi Ellison, you get this straight, as you’ve been wrongly referring to this from an unknown source who told you I had a clash with Gamal.

Well, this is quite long so I’d leave this with you and for the record.

Villagers,

This is something I can't pass over. As usual, it is designed to inform you all, not to enter into any discussion with Prof. Ayittey. He may however issue rebuttals to what I have written if false, or not entirely correct. After all, I never make claims to holding the monopoly to the elusive truth. I am just a lonely Seeker after the Truth. (To your information, Prof Ayittey had never taken up the challenge to back up his claims with some facts and I burnt him out the last time he repeated them).

Andy-K writes in reply:
That ethnic tensions in Ghana are very high, first of all, is an overstatement. Rather, it is high among Ghanaians in the diaspora. Secondly, whatever ethnic tensions are there are not due to Rawlings' doing. Rather, it is the doing of some bankrupt and jaded politicians who have been arousing ethnic hatred against Rawlings mother's ethnic group members, the Ewes, as a political tool to gain power. So far, it has failed resoundingly. In fact, it has backfired so badly the culprits, found mainly in the NPP, which George also belongs to, are now openly writing and saying that they had to reassess their strategy.

The issue is not a "public perception," shared by a majority of Ghanaians. The "perception" is insidiously and virulently promoted by a narrow group of Ghanaians, of whom George indeed is one of them. He clearly and unambiguously promoted this in a mail he posted on Okyeame sometime ago. As to be expected, I took him on and referred him to the English Sociologist, Charles Elliott's book (1975). A great comparative study of poverty and its causes in some "Third World" countries, it presented statistics on the ethnic distribution in different occupations, including the public services in Ghana too. As I told George, the figures show that by 1975, his own ethnic group, the Gas, proportionately have more of their people in higher govt. positions than any other ethnic group in Ghana! I wanted to know whether that has changed since Rawlings assumed office again on 31 Dec., 1981, less than a day to 1982. As to be expected no answer came from him.

Of course, I am aware of newer researches, as that of Richard Jefferies, African Affairs, 92. 331-399:1993, which clearly state that Rawlings has not packed higher offices with Ewes since his second coming to power. (BTW, same accusations were made during his brief first coming of 3 months too). What anyone having the pretensions to being a scholar or an intellectual should do is to read those studies and stop spreading such venomous and virulent lies, which are in fact reminiscent of 1920 and '30s Nazi campaigns against Jews. Or what we Africans get from anti-alien, racist groups and parties in Europe presently. But that is not the way of George. His is abstract empiricism! Just repeat the nonsense ad nauseam without bothering to cross-check!

Anyway, I can recollect that when he posted the same offending post to the Village, he had amended the offending portion about one ethnic group in Ghana dominating to a multiplicity of ethnic groups, thanks to my biting criticism of him (on Okyeame). He left intact that simplistic level of analysis for Nigeria and Kenya, which I also objected to too. Some of you may recollect that post.

What actually is the problem? Is that "perception," (actually it's nothing more than sheer, deep-seated expression of "native prejudice" - my coinage - against Ewes, which stock I belong to), of what they have now dubbed "Ewenisation" a new thing, arising after Rawlings became head of the PNDC? Which PNDC and later NDC Party comprise a cross-section of Ghanaians? Far from it! Indeed, all the political parties in Ghana were represented in the PNDC in its early years, so nobody was excluded. (Interestingly, Kufour, presidential candidate of the NPP, was the rep. for the PFP in the PNDC).

Villagers, it is the confrontation of the source of that native prejudice that recently spilt over into the Village under the title of “Yaa Asantewaa....” We aren't finished yet! So let me take you back just to the late 1960s, not 1900.:-)

From Denis Austin's book, Ghana Observed (1976: 125), Manchester University Press and Africana Publishing Company, we read about the anti-Ewe hysteria prior to the election that brought Dr K.A. Busia's Progress Party to power in 1969. Please bear with my long quote.
******************************
"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 very strong animus not simply by a dislike of Gbedema's reappearance in political life but in relation to events after 1966 coup. Suddenly there were the soldiers and the police, and everyone bust out singing, but when the music died away it was noticed that the NLC was commanded (it seemed) by minorities: Ewe and Ga. When Ankra (a Ga) was moved out, and charges were brought over-hastily by Harlley against the Chief of the 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 Ewe.” So the argument ran.

[MY COMMENTS: As it is still running today, as shown by a piece on the web site of the Ghanaian Chronicle I have posted below - one reason for the ongoing Yaa Asantewaa fracas.].

"And there was always some evidence for it, since the Ewe, deprived of any natural wealth in their barren region, have for many years been energetic in seizing the opportunities of public employment, including positions in the army and 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 so in view of their number. (MY COMMENT: JUST OVER 13 % OF GHANA'S POP.). But a belief does not, of course have to be true for people to hold it fervently.
Now there is an Akan-dominated government of an Akan-dominated society. Were I to become, by some improbable change 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 Caesar's laurel crown".

Here we end the extended quote!

Wise words indeed! But were the reactionary PP members told then, they would not have paid any heed. After assuming power, after a coup in which some Ewe officers played dominant roles, they set out to dismiss mostly Ewes, some few Gas and others known to be sympathetic to the banned CPP from their posts. They achieved this through the insertion of the first infamous Transitional Provisions in a Constitution of Ghana, attempts to deprive Ewes of their jobs having failed during the latter years of the NLC. This is the backdrop to the struggle Awoonor briefly mentioned in his ‘famous’ book, and for that, he has become an object of insult to all kinds of puny Akan boys and girls with some modicum of literacy. They (PP) did not last even 2 years in office! I can comment deeper on the above quote, since my own father was one key person who gave evidence, and was before then discriminated against after the coup. And there was plenty to tell, since the charges were true. Hope the official, classified documents of the hearing in camera should now be declassified to stop future speculation. I was big enough to know what was happening then, right from the 1966 coup.

My own father, being the most qualified around, was persuaded to forego confirmation for a post he had been acting in for years under the CPP regime (the CPP big-wigs thought only whites could hold the post!), just to allow a Ga to assume it, as Ewes were supposed to be already too many in similar posts! It was indeed a case of jobs for the boys all over again! So there was some sort of Affirmative Action going on to allow newly qualified Akans and others to also assume posts they did not formerly want. I suffered same fate with another Ewe friend too before, in our seeking a simple vacation job in 1976! And to think an Ewe, a father to a dormitory mate in school was in charge of the recruitment! But he explained, and we accepted, that even though far better qualified, they must take some others too, or they'd be hearing complaints again! So they took on 2 Twi-speaking secondary F4 girls while I, a Sixth Former armed with superlative ‘O’ L results and 3 RSA Stage 2 in English, Accounting and Commerce, was turned down! My friend was also an ‘O’L graduate with good grades and teaching part-time in a preparatory school while pursuing the CA then.

Unfortunately, they (PP, now NPP cohorts) have not learned anything from their past folly and are condemned to the political wilderness, raining insults on all and sundry. Most Ghanaians don't trust them any longer.

Anyway, some of us said enough is enough with this ethnic demonisation, while we are not even enjoying the fruits of office. Our region ranks among the lowest on the development ladder, a permanent position of "Number 9" among 10!:-) We gonna respond and do you in proper, exposing you down to your fathers and mentally warped ancestors who passed on to you those kinds of native prejudice; not better than those held by white supremacists we have come to know in our sojourn among white people.

After all, some of us know that white supremacist ideas had origins from ideas held by the incestuous ancient Egyptians about other peoples! They used to call the Greeks barbarians and no Egyptian girl would kiss a Greek ‘cos Greeks eat pork and meat, taboos to Egyptians. The demon in our midst is our own creation! Let us deal with it right from our homes! To UNIFY any people in a meaningful way, some would have to be made to drop their feelings of superiority and prejudices they hold about others within the same group. Period!

I think Rawlings has done enough to remove that image from the eyes of the mass of Ghanaians. In 1966, Kotoka would have been quite unacceptable to most non-Ewe Ghanaians as Head of State. That's why Ankrah was brought out of retirement to be head of the NLC. After all, by 1966, Ewes were just "Ayigbe dzorlor," i.e., "Ayigbe thieves," the pejorative term you Gas had coined for us Ewes, George. And I did not hear crying "you've changed meter band to Number 9," at the sound of Ewe when I was last at home, as was the case in even the early ‘80s. We'd get to the bottom of all this, just wait long enough!

Please find below a "modern" version of the Ewes are dominating us hysteria. Make up your own minds about the import of the purported letter to the "Chronicle."

Tribal Conspiracy At Wesley College

In the November 11, 1997 issue of the "Free Press", Mr. A. Bosompem Boaboduro wrote inter alia:
"That is the reason why a place becomes Ewenized in no time, the moment you put one Ewe there."

In this write-up we intend to prove why and how there has been a conspiracy to subject Ashantis to humiliation, in Wesley College and as a result Ewenize the college. We know that at the end of it all we will be accused of fanning tribalism, but we are sure that whoever reads this article carefully and objectively will sympathise with us, the students of Wesley College and particularly the Ashantis among us.
When a little over two years ago it became necessary for the then Principal of Wesley College, Rev. Kofi Amponsah to retire from the Ghana Education Service, it became necessary for the Methodist Church to recommend somebody to replace him.
Also in 1984 when Rev. Brew-Riverson left the college as principal, two people, Rev. Kofi Amponsah and Rev. M. O. Antwi vied for the post of principal of the college. Rev. Kofi Amponsah eventually got the post and Rev. M. O. Antwi was appointed General Manager of Methodist Schools. Now as General Manager, Rev. M. O. Antwi became the Appointing Officer when Rev. Amponsah was to be replaced as the principal of the college in 1996.
It was at this stage that the conspiracy began. Apparently Rev. M. O. Antwi was peeved because in 1984 an Ashanti was appointed to the post of principal of the college, now that he was the Appointing Officer, he decided to "show" Ashantis, who he had thought, manouvred to side-step him in favour of Rev. Amponsah.
It is pertinent to note that even though in June 1996, a date was fixed for an interview to select a principal for the college, long before the interview many people in GES circles knew that Rev. Ametefe would be the principal of the college. This, the General Manager was capable of doing, because as the Appointing Officer, he was in a position to advise whatever panel conducted the interview on whom to appoint. So eventually Rev. Ametefe got the post after a farce of an interview had been conducted.
Now after Rev. Ametefe had got the post of principal, the scene was set to "show" the Ashantis. In less than two years as Principal of Wesley College, Rev. Ametefe's administration has been so fraught with tribalism and mal-administration that if nothing is done about the situation, Wesley College will lose its glory as one of the best training colleges in Ghana.
Now let me enumerate a few examples of tribalism and poor administration under Rev Ametepe. A few months after taking over the administration of the college, he declared that he could not work any more with the domestic bursar, her assistant, the college store-keeper, all Ashantis. Although, he could not assign any tangible reason for this action, he put so much pressure on the regional office that the two women were transferred from the college. Our information is that he wanted to replace those transferred with Ewes but he apparently met resistance somewhere.
In furtherance of his plan to Ewenize the administrative set-up of the college, Rev. Ametefe has made the college librarian (an Ewe), Gershon Tsadidey, virtually a vice-principal of the college. All construction works are under his care.
Obviously all these are creating tension in the college, and certainly if nothing is done about this, there will soon be an explosion on campus.
We plead with the GES Directorate in Ashanti and opinion leaders in the region to do something about it. We warn that this should not be interpreted as merely crying wolf or making false allegations. Whoever doubts what we have said can conduct his own investigations to find out the truth.

-----------END OF FORWARDED POST-------------------------

Now, how can appointing a principal to a school in Ghana be the concern of some students; not even old students? BTW, the Rev. Antwi is most likely an Akan too, as “Antwi” is a common Akan name, though there are some Ewes of Akan origins with Akan names. And there is a whole bunch of an Ewe sub-group with Ga-Fanti origins marrying with Ewes, the so-called Mina-Ewes centred around southern Togo Republic and Benin. Ewes are thus people of mixed linguistic origins, not any single tribal group from the past. Our eventual homeland became the so-called Slave Coast, as some of you surely know already. But that is quite another story, even though it is much a part of the reason for the formation of what I've dubbed "native prejudice" against us by non-Ewe Ghanaians.

Some few other comments on what George wrote.-

>2. His regime has been the MOST BRUTAL and CORRUPT in Ghana's history.

That the PNDC has been brutal in its early years I won't dispute. Much of that brutality was actually directed at each other, in the power struggle between the "super-revolutionaries" and the moderates. The moderates won. That stopped most of the abuses super-revolutionaries were meting out to the public. There was near anarchy in the country. Rawlings himself was nearly several times "devoured by the revolution." Insiders claimed he was not sleeping at the same place twice at a time!

As for the corruption, the PNDC was once one of the cleanest in Ghana's history. Ghana won some few prizes, e.g., for having the lowest pilfering and theft at the ports, and fastest turn around (hence low demurrages) for ships. Since 1990, particularly after 1992, the need to accommodate the vociferous business community and sections of the right-wing opposition, has meant a general laxity and return to the bad ways of the past with a vengeance. It seems the dictum of those people that "corruption is the lubricant which oils the wheels of bureaucracy" has won the day. But Ghana is certainly not the number 6th in corruption level, bypassing even Indonesia, as claimed not long ago. Something must be done to curb rampant corruption though.

>3. He denigrated the sanctity of African heritage by imposing ALIEN
>institutions on the people of Ghana. He blew up indigenous MARKETS,
>stripped and whipped MARKET WOMAN who violated price controls -- an
>alien measure. (Chiefs do not impose price controls on village markets);
>imposed nonsensical revolutionary committees -- an idea which was
>imported from Cuba, etc. etc.

As for this, what the hell does George mean? Which "alien institutions"? BTW, Rawlings is half-Scot, half-Ewe. His present Vice is also called Mills! Alien names, by George! Indeed, aliens are ruling us.:-) What else can we expect?:-)

The rest of the stuff above is just fiction too. I don't know which traditional institutions George has studied. If I begin to quote lengthy sentences to disprove him now, some will begin to say that Andy-K is anti-this or that. Perhaps, he hasn't read any where how the Kings and chiefs imposed very strict fiscal rules over the markets and trade routes, breaking them which can earn man the loss of his/her head! Of course, whole towns and villages could be wiped out for severe violations.

One devastating war the Asantes fought against the Fantis was simply for the reason that some two chiefs failed to send some gold nuggets they found to the Asantehene's treasury! And we know by now how the Asantes control the prices of slaves. Don't we? Well, they locked the "surplus" in their homes and burned them alive, for instance! Cinque, you must be lucky your ancestor got through into the slave boat! I hate myths!

And what dared you grow pepper in ancient Dahomey without permission from the King of Abomey? And can you move a slave or an elephant tusk to the European slave castles in Accra without paying your due to the free-booting Akwamus when they were the mercenaries and guardians of the slave routes for you Gas; or after they had given your ancestors a thrashing and taken over the trade themselves, spilling the slave trade into the world of our ancestors in the present VR?

>4. Surrendered the sovereignty of Ghana to the World Bank and the IMF,

Hmm! As for this, no plenty comments! I don't think much of the Terrible Twins too. But did we ever regain that "sovereignty"? Nkrumah only said everything else (economic independence inclusive) would follow political independence. "Seek ye first the political kingdom ....” Some of his critics, e.g., Prof. A.W. Seidman (1978), said the formula was naive to begin with.

>5. Placed the SEAT of his government in the Castle in Accra, where
>thousands of AFRICAN SLAVES were kept in dungeons before trans-shipment
>to the Americas. Yet, he is the same man who sherpherd black American
>tourists to Elmina Castle, some 80 miles away, for an emotional connection.
>Some tourist guide, eh?

The seat of government has for a long time been the Castle. Rawlings just moved in too.

As for the tourism project, I have my own serious misgivings about it and had expressed them elsewhere - directly to those involved too. In fact, I know some of the key architects very well, including the brain behind. He was my host when I was collecting data early 1993 at Elmina and at Shama. We go a long way back.

However, when I read some of the goings on, apart from making contact with my friend, I made contact with no less a person than one main consultant at the Smithsonian Institute and expressed my (our) concerns. I gave permission for everything I wrote to be sent to the powers-that-be in Accra and Cape Coast, where George actually attended his famous "high school" in which students used to sit on the floor.:-) Phew! Some people can spin a yarn for a buck! Sorry! Villagers, pardon my soliloquy.

George, there is a fierce power struggle going on in Ghana (and elsewhere) the surface of which only appears now and then. It all has to do with the UNITY of the Old and New, the historically dispossessed of the African diaspora and that of Africa, and the place of the "privileged" of Africa within that order. That unity of purpose and interest, of course, MUST come into fruition, but upon whose terms and conditions? At this moment, I do not want to write more about this, as I intend to do so elsewhere, sooner or later. But let me just narrate this incidence involving the so-called renovation of the Cape Coast and Elmina Castles.

What apparently turned out to be a "white-washing" exercise, led an African-American to go on hunger strike protest in the Cape Coast Castle. Some of you certainly know the story better than me already. Ghanaians, including those on Okyeame were outraged, claiming that such a publicity gimmick by well-to-do idealists was out of place in a country some people go to bed with only one meal a day! I stepped in to inform Akyeame that even when some of their ancestors (the hunger strikers) were in shackles, they tried to starve themselves to death. That was why the white slavers used to bring special pincers for knocking off the front teeth of those captives seaward-bound refusing to eat so that they could be force fed. After that, we had a fruitful discussion of Enlightenment and Re-Awakening of African Consciousness. Akyeame learned that hunger strike as a tool of protest was not something invented by Gandhi! Of course, the incidence brought out some contradictions in attitudes and viewpoints between the various three parties I identified above, which I'd pass over discussing now.

Well, I have been more verbose than intended.:-) Thanks George for giving me the opportunity to let some bile off my chest.:-)

ADDENDUM:
So here ended my views on a number of issues, besides the accusation of the T-thing, which generated it. For those dishonestly or ignorantly claiming that Rawlings brought tribalism to the Ghanaian body politic, from now onwards, they should know that we have travelled that blind alley before, and heard it all before! The Busia, PP tradition introduced it into Ghanaian politics! They used it against our fathers, uncles, aunts, etc. We their sons and daughters shall NOT TOLERATE ANY LONGER THIS concoction of BIGOTRY, ENVY AND PREJUDICE FROM ANYONE WHATSOEVER! We Ewes study hard to get jobs we are qualified for, as someone responsible for recruitment in Ghana recently confirmed to me again. Himself an Ewe, he said at times, he tried awarding lower points to the Ewe candidate, only to be overruled by the white boss and others on the panel! That was his way of dealing with the murmurings he has been hearing – attempt to disqualify yet another more qualified Ewe from getting a job his/her struggling parents had sacrificed so much for!

Look, some of us come from the coast and have over 500 years of association with the white people, now considered the civilised people, but whom our ancestors never saw as such. Bush people like you must be put at their places, if they have no sense and speak no sense. All they do is insult and engage in tribalistic jibes!

And this scares the hell out of other Akans, Fantes, Akwapims,Wassa, Sefwi, Bonos,Kwahus,Akwamus, and Guans. All the Akans except Asantefuo and Okyini. In other words, Okatakyie, you have succeeded in weakening the NPP. This is not the way to win the next elections. We will vote for a truly Ghanaian party, not an Asante-Akyem party.

I am not a member of any political party in Ghana but if i had my choice i will join the NPP. The fact is that the NDC are divisive and tribalistic. I have also notice that most of their supporters are tribalistic as well. Foolish people, instead of concentrating on holding our leaders accountable, you fools instead focuses on tribalism.

Nana Addo himself said Npp is an Akan party(YEN AKANFO).This was confirmed by Ayikoi Otoo of the Npp recently.Now the NDC is seen as the only national party bcos it is strong in almost all the regions in Ghana while Npp is strong only on 2 out of 10 regions. In the last 2 elections, Ndc won 3 out of 5 Akan dominated regions ie. Western, Central and B/A regions. Eastern region will also fall to the NDC very soon remember NDC won 48% in the last election even though it is Nana Addos Home region.

Any you wrote "Equally, it is difficult to fathom why the NDC, which abhors anything Akan, to garner over 600,000 presidential votes (representing 30% of valid votes) in Ashanti Region without an Akan Candidate". Reading your article, I thought I was going to savour objectivity until I came across the a/m quote. Why can't you get the simple fact that Asante Region may be Akan region but it's highly cosmopolitan with diverse tribes just like the Greater Accra Region? On the other hand, a place like the volta region has fewer non ewes due to lack of major commercial activities. It therefore possible to suggest the % stated as coming from the Asanti Region may not include votes from any Asantes. Until you get this simple fact right, you will never find an innovative and effective solution to the npp's problems.

Your brief is absolute rubbish and did not send any meaningful message across.Since the inception of the NPP,have you had any flagbearer who is non Akan?Why did you refuse to comment on the 'yenakanfoa' mantra by the all-die-be die man,Akufo Addo.The instruction by Ken for Ashantis to kill Gas and Ewes.
The NPP is an ethnocentric party that does not respect any ethnic group apart from Ashantis and Akyims and your actions continue to demostrate that.No amount of words not backed by sincere action could purge you from that tag.

How different is the Yen Akanfoa from Mahama's we northerners are tired of vice president position? People who normally accuse others of being tribal, ethnocentric and do not respect others are normally the worst offenders of such offensive behaviour themselves. How some educated people allow politicians to knock your heads together through tribal hatred beats my mind. Rawlings keep hitting at Ashanti's yet he is married to one and has children with an Ashanti woman. Unfortunately some of you are either too blind or too stupid to see the type of politics being played by these politicians. Ashantis happen to be proud people, you either learn to live with them or distance yourself from them, no need for name calling or insults. Every tribe has it's characteristics so leave Ashantis and Akyems alone. If they do not respect other ethnic groups then why do they marry other ethnic groups? See how foolish your statement is? If you push a dog into a corner and continue harassing it, it will one day bite. It is the Ashanti pride that most of you can't stand but that is how they were made so you people let them be.

Busia started tribal politics in the 50s,Ndc was not yet formed .If we want to develop Ghana then we must always do national politics so we may all have one nationality.There is a big différence between a country and a nation.I don't think Ndc is winning because of tribal politics because They have members from all over the country just like Npp.The problem is that Ndc is more strategic than Npp,They always présent à strategic présidential candidate but Npp goes on with old tradition of who you are and how rich you are.This is what they have to look into if they want to win 2016 Général élections.Thank you.

The focus should be on having honest elections in Ghana. It will help to truly understand the will of the people. I believe Nana was elected in both 2008 and 2012.

Let's address the real problem

You people will always find excuses.

Instead of learning from your defeats, you won't even acept them.

I bet you'll look for excuses the next 20 years.

Is it not interesting how slim the margin was in 2008 and 2012? Do you have any idea why our dear country is on it's knees since NDC came to power? Unfortunately hatred has blinded so many of us to the extent some of you don't realise NDC uses tribal politics to make NPP look unattractive. But as the saying goes, "No condition is permanent"
For me, all I care for is a competent leader, I don't care where he or she comes from, all I'm interested in is an the right environment to do business in.

The truth is both parties have their bases. The NDC claim they field candidates from the swing sectors of the country (Fante -Atta; North-Mahama, while retaining their Ewe base). The NPP is yet to do the same. Bawumia will be the NPPs first experiment. Maybe, a Bawumia/Frimpong Boateng ticket holds the future for the NPP and a strong outreach to Non-Akans.

Nobody can use Akan to run politics in Ghana and win elections. I think and feel that the writer has problem with tribalism, because his comments were driven by frustration, tribalism disperation and finally by village mentality.

The move to crucify the NDC as a tribal party alone makes him to look like a fool who has lost ground in his political vision.

To be specific and clearer, the NDC instead, had proved that it is not a tribal party because there are many different tribes in all positions, even the leadership had changed hands from one tribe to another.

1.Rawlings came from British father and a Ghanaian Ewe mother. 2. Atta Mills came from a Ga father and a Fanti mother.3. Mahama has his background too.

Remember these leaders are not from one tribe and no other tribe is threatening their leadership within the same NDC. Contrary, within the NPP, Ashantes fight against Akyem leader of the same party NPP.

Even this alone portrays your NPP as a typical tribal party fighting against themselves because of tribal foolishness that they are cut in.

Also I may like to help you not to deceive yourselves with the AKAN thing, Akan is a term used to show similarities in the languages spoken by these ten tribes. Find the tribes yourself.

Also keep in mind that these tribes are not one tribe as you have foolishly taken it to be, that is why despite the fact that Akuffo Addo tried to use it with his ''die be die mantra'' yet to no avail, and I quote ''If we the AKANS are pushed we will fight b'cos all die be die''

Those of you who are interested in politics,please find ample time to read political history about pre-independence with your computer.Busia and Dombo were against Unitary government which forms the basis of national politics.They wanted Fédéral form of govt where every small State will dépend on its own policies and resources.That is what came to be known as ma te me ho slogan in the 50s.I will not mention the atrocities that came along with this agenda and the economic sabotage from Cocoa growing areas.This is the reason Ndc finds it esay to accuse Npp of tribalism.Ndc may as well be doing the same but they have not attached their tradition with Busia and Dombo.Who are you now going to blame?Thank you.

Nonsense. Who should change? If you can't leave with them then leave the country or never go to Kumasi. Every tribe has it's characteristics which other tribes may not like. Like they say, northerners lack understanding, Ewe's are inward looking, Ga's are aggressive, Fanti's are lazy and it goes on and on. We are all different, tolerance is the way to live with people. Thise pointing fingers at Ashanti's have inferiority complex. People like you are the ones who need to change and learn to live with others no matter their shortfalls.
