The word Akan has been misused, it is a a group of tribes with a supposed common ancestry. The language is called Twi.

Have you wondered why EWE will refer to the ethnic group and the language (with its various dialects for the Anlo area, the Tongu area, and the Vedome area in the Ho, Hohoe, etc. areas)?
Ghanaman 11 years ago

There is no such thing as Asabte Akan, Akuapem Akan. There is Ewe and various dialects and the same word refers to the group.

WHO CARES? I AM PAST CARING. PSHAW! GOOD RIDDANCE!

Ever seen a whiteman come to Africa for Treatment on health related problems? Akufo Addo and fellow visionless leaders do.

Why can't West African states contribute to biuld a single state of the art Hospital in a stable Country so that there will be no need for the so called leaders/elites to bite the grass overseas? Is this rocket science? Am I asking for too much? I beg to differ!

It is now obvious that Bokor is descending into the doldrums of insipid writing: he now presents zero paragraphing and organization, not to mention artful tastelessness.
He is now the worst writer on these pages!

Even, one word can stand on its own line and occupy space as a paragraph.

You claim to know English and to have taught Bokor at the UCC.

But have you ever read anything or heard anything about the concept of RANKSCALE and RANKSHIFTING?

Go to Bokor and learn more instead of shooting your mouth foolishly anytime you criticize him on paragraphing!!

You are a blockhead!!

It is not the fault of the writer.It is from the webmaster. Anyway, I think what matters most is what Dr. Bokor has said. Akufo Addo is back and has already starteded his tribalism. He could have spoken in a language which is official and acceptable to all of us in this country, and not Twi. Yen Akanfou indeed!

Does Akufo Addo think that God resides in Obronikrom? God is everywhere so Akufo Addo has once again demostarted what his forebears did prior to Independence and thereafter,/. They run to their White masters in times of trouble because they are clueless.

By the way, the official language of Ghana is still English and as Long as that has not Change; let us not fool ourselves.

Bokor is the best writer on Ghanaweb. His English is simple. JS Farrant,in one of his writings said "if you're a teacher & you make your teaching difficult for your students to comprehend,you the teacher knows nothing". Bokor has submitted & come out of his dissertation so what does he care about paragraphing.

For your information both Christians and Muslims in Ghana are all evil pure Satanists. If not, why have you predicted that someone who has built his future career through politics and you have made up your mind that no matter what the case may be he cannot become the president of Ghana even if the whole Ghanaians vote for him he would not be declared as the president. Why is that you are too scared of him? You know that he is the only one who can transform Ghana and once you are all evil you hate to See good things in the life of individuals so you are doing this to him. But listen, when God says YES who dare you to say NO? Nana Addo will prove to you guys that there is no righteous man even one in Ghana. It is only God that will put the crown on his head. Remember what king pharoah did to the Egyptians yet God delivered his people from his hand and that is what is going to happen in 2016. Save this on your phone and you will call me to confirm in 2016. After all NDC had the mandate now and what are they doing to help Ghanaians? They are just there to encourage corruption Day in-and Day out. You guys have damaged Ghana and Ghanaians in abroad have no more respect. Due to the supreme court case. If Atuguba and his idiots Judges knew that they cannot change anything then they shouldn't have wasted time and also not to show it on the television for the whole world to watch. Where are the investors since Mahama is declared as the elected presiden't of Ghana? NKWASEAFO! Think twice and also the nation but not the party that you idiots are following.A word to the wise is enough!

Ghana has a long way to go if you guys insist on being deliberately shallow-minded. You people are damning the man for speaking his native language, yet in another breath you are condemning him for going abroad to attend to his personal needs. Untill when will you guys stop being petty and inferior-minded. Remember this is 21st century and as others are thinking positive you guys are throwing away your intelligence for the sake of partisan politics.

IN 2016 NPP IS NOT READY TO GO TO COURT ANY LONGER IN THE SENSE THAT ATUGUBA AND ASIEDU NKETIAH INCLUDING KWADWO AFAFI GYAN EC HAVE TOLD THE WORLD THAT YOU CAN ONLY WIN ELECTION AT THE POOLING STATIONS. ALSO, IN GHANA AS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING CALLED OVER VOTING ACCORDING TO THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES IN GHANA THE MOST RUBBISH JUDICIAL IN THE WORLD. THEREFORE, WE ATE READY TO MEET YOUR CRIMINALS IN NDC PARTY IN 2016. BESIDES YOU KNOW THAT ASHANTI REGION HAS MORE POPULATION EVEN THAN ACCRA AS THE CAPITAL TOWN OF GHANA.SO, GET READY TO MEET NPP IN 2016 AND YOU DEFINITELY KNOW THAT NPP HAD MORE SUPPORTERS THAN NDC BOTH ABROAD AND HOME YET WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT THE REASON WHY YOU ALWAYS DECLARED AS THE WINNER. WE HAVE WORKED VERY WELL AND WE HAVE NOTICED YOUR PLANS THAT YOU USED TO STEAL ELECTIONS SO GET IT RIGHT THAT YOUR EVIL PARTY SO CALLED NDC WILL BE COLLAPSED IMMEDIATELY NPP COMES TO POWER. MARK THIS ON THE WALL AND IT WILL SURELY HAPPEN! OKAY? "WO KWASEA".

I am very sorry to state here that this writer who claims to be the No 1 educated person in Ghana is stupid and should not bolder us with his semi-educated knowledge. If some body say (he is waiting or seeking the face of GOD that does not mean he/she is going the see the face of God as this foolish writer want us to know} Seeking the face of God can be done in any place and it is the christian way of keeping yourself from all or most human activities, so that one can concentrate much in prayers. By citing Moses here clearly indicates that this writer is so stupid and foolish and need not be giving any chance here to dilute the minds of the younger one who are now learning the usage of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE. If Akufo-Addo says he is seeking the face of GOD, that does not mean we need to ask him(Akufo-Addo) how God looks like. Please Dr of now sense next time come out with something better, that can at least indicate that you are educated as you claim to be. Seeking the face of GOD if you do not understand this simple and easy english word, then next time we speak in EWE so that you can come out with a better contribution. SHAME on to you, you biased Ewes. Next time consult your dictionary before writing such things. If you are a Christian you will have understood this simple expression of seeking GOD'S face. It will be better to write your name as J.K. BOKOR without the word DR. You do not deserve that word DR.

There are no Akans in Ghana; NPP bluffer Akim Akufo Ado couldn't have therefore spoken in "Akan" language; thus, to say this Akim Akufo Ado spoke in Akan language in Ghana is very woolly if not foolishness

- Ghana however has a Twi languge spoken by some tribes in Ghana; once mumbo-jumbo and unwritten until the Swiss Basel missionaries with the Akwapim tribe put in Roman alphabet form

- Akim Akufo Ado being an Akim spoke Twi language in Akim accent; same as an Ashanti would speak Twi language in Ashanti accent

- Ghana shouldn't make too much of the "Akans"; unruly peoples who didn't have a writen language and spoke mumbo jumbo; who once upon a time roamed borderless West coast of Africa; they are dead as the dodo; they are of no relevance in present day Ghana

Very cheap for a so called Dr. to ridicule a man who has served his nation faithfully all his life. And without his ancestors you could not pride yourself as a Ghanaian.

No wonder you are not Akan. Only people like you will behave as you have Just did.

I am sure you are scared your lazy heroe Mahama will lose his job in 2016...
