u see, that is why NPP will continue to remain in opposition. yes JM is not performing well and the economy is bad, but seeing such articles will not only stop me from voting for NPP, but to go further and vote against them. Their anti Ewe-Northern agenda is all too clear. they carried it out during K4's time and are bitter that they are not in power now. Ghana's politics goes beyond issues about the economy, its more about politics

Nobody can shut Akadu up with insults. The truth will always survive the arrested developed minds of these sycophantic brotherhood of haters from the Togo and Burkina Faso borders.

I doff off my hat for the glorious Yaa Asantewaa incarnate, her royal ladiship, Denkyira Baahemaa Akadu Mensema. What is written is written and those prophetic words , All die be die, coined by the Spiritually ordained TRUE president of the LEADERLESS Republic of Ghana , his eminent majesty, NANA ADDO DANQUAH was actually meant for 2016, as was rightly affirmed by the useless Atuguba court, that the courts are not there to declare winner of elections. " YOU CAN GO TO COURT" would be OUT of the phraseological vocabulary of that ugly monkey from the Brong Ahafo Fiema monkey sanctuary at the EC. Any twisting of arms of we the YEN AKANFUO and the importation those eczema induced red monkeys from Togo and guinea fowls from Bourkina to boost the chances of the Atinga-Trokosi alliance in 2016 will mean the four little words, " All die be die".

Tribalism is a disease that once it infects an individual there is no known cure no matter their so called education and exposure. Some of you think you can hide behind the political party called NPP to cause mayhem in Ghana but thank God most ppl are too smart than you may take them to be. Those of you that are so bitter should go and confront those that have offended you and seek redress for your pains instead of remaining bitter and angry for as long as you will remain on earth.

As a child growing up in Accra I did witness some of the most successful business reach their peaks in Accra and surprisngly some of those businesse were Kwawu and Asante owned in Accra, the seat of the so called anti Asante Rawlings govt. If Rawlings did hated these ppl so much as some of you would want the world to believe why did he allow such businesses to succeed?

The gospel truth is that some of you will never face the truth and tell it like it is due to anger and age old prejudice and suspicions. Some of the so called Asante businesses he destroyed were also owned by ppl that wanted to topple his govt and suspected to be involved in various govt toppling activities, and all dictators around the world would react the ame way. That is quash the threat wherever it was coming from no matter the ethnicity of the ppl involved in the threat.

Meaning had such business owners been Gonja, Frafra, Ada, Bono, Ewe, Fante and threatening the govt, dictator Rawlings would have reacted the same way. His actions were more into protecting his govt and power than deliberately targetting an entire ethnic group.

And since his murder of Acheampong and Afrifa who were Asantes means most of his enemies would also be Asantes and as I said earlier he was aggressive with those that threatened his govt. As such overtime things began to look like he was only targetting Asantes when infact all he was doing was safegurading his grip on the country.

We need to be objective and tell th truth like it is. Im no fanatic of Rawlings, non of my relatives benefitted from his govt. Matter of fact i hate most African politicians with what i have learnt now.

Wrong is wrong, encouraging ppl like Akadu to continue with his hate messages that he calls truth to power would quickly lead this nation onto the path of destruction, a path we are all too familiar with in Africa. If you love Ghana as you calim then you must be bold to call ppl to order when they are wrong. Mahama was wrong for calling on his Northern brothers to vote for him but so is Nana's "Yen Akan-fuo comment"

Dr Bawumiah is a Northner, Jake is a Ga, Well known president of Imani Frankilin Cudjo who has been vigorously pushing the NPP agenda is an Ewe/Guan. NPP is not only Aknfuo party.

Thank You

WE DON'T CARE!

We have heard it all before they started mounting party platforms, cyberforums and TV stations to say it to all to hear! So let me take you all down Memory Lane.

THE ETHNIC IMBROGLIO IN GHANA: THE ORIGINS, PART 1

The tribal imbroglio, rather than starting in recent times, has been brewing for a long, long while now. In fact, the roots of the prejudices and the insults we see some raining on others date back to pre-colonial times. So, any attempt to understand the worrying phenomenon must address the canker from that era. That is what I intend to do, with special focus on the apparent cleavage between Ewes and Akans (and any others). But now, I’d begin with the colonial times. When you hear the cry of lamentation:
Dza le le leeeeeee!
Me zu kluvi
The road to Kontsiabu
Strewn with gold dusts.
Only those without
in their eyes gold dusts
felt the pangs of hunger and thirst…

then you’d know that the time to narrate the doleful tales of the pre-colonial era, where it all began, has arrived; but you’d get a glimpse now.

Not to waste time apportioning blame, the Akans (and Gas, if I may add them), started these tribal abuse and attacks on Ewes many decades ago; nay, centuries back, as I said earlier. But as mentioned above, I won't delve as yet into the pre-colonial times when it was free for all, with even some Ewe states joining in marauding and plundering other Ewe states for the slave markets of the Gold Coast. I had indeed provided a write up on that sordid era on Ghanaweb’s SIL in the 1990s, which is available. One German businessman with biz connections to Ghana who used to read the nonsense on SIL wrote a private mail to me saying that he was always wondering why Africans sold each other into slavery to Europeans and Arabs; reading my detailed historical account enlightened him on how and why it happened for the first time. That story must be re-told all over Africa in other to understand the roots of the conflicts that bedevilled the continent after independence.

In Ghana, the colonial times modern version started after the WW1 when Anlo, Tongu and Peki migrants from within the Gold Coast and those from the newly acquired TVT from the Germans started moving to the Akan and Ga areas to either fish, farm or seek paid employment. Ewes from Togo and Benin Republic (Dahomey) escaping from French repressive rule came later. Some Ewes, esp. the educated ones, also got jobs with the commercial houses and the colonial administration. Some, such as Gbedema and Nkulenu, started their own private businesses. Soon, they were becoming prosperous in their chosen fields and/or rising up in the ranks wherever they were employed due to the usual hard working nature of most migrants. After all, the far superior German missionary vocational educational set up, compared to the British, had equipped them much better with skills in the crafts and building, such as carpentry and masonry, which were in much demand by the colonial authority and the other natives of the Gold Coast and Asante. That was when trouble began and the attacks started, as far back as the 1930s.

Below is a brief quote from S. Greene about how the Fantes started perceiving Anlo-Ewe fisher folk; a perception or prejudice which is not much different from what permeates the Akan ethnic group as a whole up to today (not only a few bigots on Ghanaweb). Ewes find out to our chagrin or amusement, often as a kid, that that was how our fellow country men and women perceive us. The encounter is therefore a personal story too.

Not much has changed in the prejudiced minds of too many Akans, as we daily witness on Ghanaweb, even though many too have developed over the years an obsession or desire to marry Ewe girls, failure which often brought in its wake stories of tribalism heaped against Ewes. As I told some Akan teacher colleagues in Nigeria, it was the scary and “irrational” Akan “wofa” (uncle) inheritance system, stupid! Horrible stories of how Ewe widows were in particular dispossessed and treated shabbily were enough to dissuade any idea of marriage to even a most love besotted Akan man! It is no wonder that, with the interstate law of inheritance in place, marriage to Akan men has been on the increase.

I know an Ewe from the Peki area who swore that it’d never be possible to change the jaundiced perception of Akans of Ewes from his own experiences attending Mpraeso Teacher Training College, and then teaching at Mpraeso and in Kumasi. He said one particular woman - a cook in the school - they used to go to church with wouldn’t believe that he did not have any “ekpelekpedzi” under their bed! I said it was possible and gave an example of my own experiences in Nigeria. I managed to convince my fellow Akan teachers that I don’t indulge nor believe in those things - juju or voodoo or even any god (white or black), and wouldn’t drink “ogogoro” with them – when there is original Gordon’s gin and lime cordiale to have – and they somehow lost some “respect”, (or was it fear?) for me. They’d say I wasn’t a proper Anloman and fool around with me!

Between 1982-4, when their Anti-Ewe diatribes had reached fever point and they were advocating massacring Ewes as done to the Ibos in Nigeria who they claimed were also allegedly dominating Nigeria in the 1960s, I thought of putting some fear into them by creating some “kporsi” (“see-and-run”) to scare them. Fact is, practically every smart Ewe knows how to scare Akans and Gas even though they don’t have “foko” (anything), as we say in Anlo but I will keep that out of this write up. Good I didn’t do so, otherwise they’d be giving testimonies up to today about what an Anlo teacher did to them in Nigeria – they’d have packed out and run from their rooms on the ground floor of the storey building we were hiring. I “protected” myself practically by chocking the door handle with a chair, as I had seen in movies, before I went to bed, in order to prevent them from making me the first casualty of their let-us-kill-Ewes mania! Funny some of them even became staunch PNDC supporters, only to change their minds again years later when I met some on a visit to Ghana.

Anyway, enough with the digression into the personal narrative and to Sandra Greene.

From p.148 of Sandra Greene I quote:

"Increased Anlo identification with their northern Ewe-speaking neighbours may have also been enhanced by the experience many had while participating in migrant fishing. After World War I, 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 locations, they conducted themselves as they had in their own home villages, but those among whom they come 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 indicates, for example, that from at least the 1930s "Fanti [children] learned to view the Anlos as thieves, kidnappers, sorcerers, and ritual murderers." The social tensions that accompany these beliefs - and the very fact that these beliefs were held by a non-Ewe speaking people - must have heightened the Anlo's awareness of their linguistic and cultural background and generated some sense of identification with their Ewe-speaking peoples whom they would have encountered in the Gold Coast."

The encounter with the Gold Coasters was enough to turn any Ewe into a paranoid schizophrenic, developed a siege mentality (become “inward-looking”?) and very resentful towards any idea of union with the Gold Coast, not to mention marry an Akan.

As some of you know, the Anlo area through Tongu to the Peki area had been part of the Gold Coast colony proper, effectively from 1874 though the British “bought” and claimed the area from the Danes in 1850; hence the freedom to move to other parts of the Gold Coast and Asante later. Besides, many southern Ewes are descendants of Ga-Adangbe, Elmina and Denkyira fugitives dating back respectively to 1687 when the Akwamus first thrashed the Gas for cutting the “bolobolo” (foreskin) of their prince sent to the Ga Mantse Okai Koi’s court to understudy courtship, and 1700, when the Asantes defeated the Denkyiras and took over Elmina from the Denkyiras. Going back to Ge (Accra) and Sima (Shama) with their new kinsmen was just like returning to the ancestors' land. In fact, it was the descendants of those fugitives who were the first migrants, having maintained links with their ancestral lands during their long period in exile. Reindorf had written about that back and forth movement among the Ga fugitives long ago. That’s how Osu-Anecho came to be founded and how all Ewes got the derogatory epithet “Ayigbe” (Ayi refuse), whether they were descendants of fugitives or not. The “dzulor” bit the Gas added originally referred to the Okai Koi stool regalia which the Ga-Ewes in Togo refused to return to Accra and still claim to be its protectors. Remember the trips with pre-colonial undertones their chiefs made to Ghana when the NPP took over power in 2000?

We read from the December 6, 1919 edition of the West Africa magazine a letter sent to the colonial government of the Gold Coast:
“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..” (culled from West Africa 12-16 Dec. 1994)

And so on it went. I can make long comments on the above quotes but suffice it to say that it was the beginning and end of the love affair which started as unification with the Gold Coast movement ending up as the drive to secede from the Gold Coast.

One may wonder why the petitioners did not even acknowledge the Ewes, Dagombas, Konkombas, Akans and the host of other ethnic and tribal groups in Togo who also have their “kith and kin” within the Gold Coast and the Northern Territories. I guess this piece of history may come as a surprise to the ingrates who make a living of always reminding us that Ewes come from Togo, some of whom carried a video to Lome to trace the roots of Fiifii Kwetey there, instead of doing so in Accra; better still, Ayawaso! Well, he said he was from Nogokpo, which rubbed a sore spot for me, but that’s another, story.

THE EWE BACKLASH

By the 1940s, Ewes, Anlos in particular, in the Gold Coast had had enough of the vilification and undeserved demonisation their successes were arousing. The returnee Anes and Ges (Gas), now fused as the Genyi, as Anlos refer to them, through intermarriages, also soon discovered that they were not welcome, or often welcomed with shouts of “Ayigbe dzulor”! Disenchantment set in and secession from Ghana became a far better option. The result was the 1956 plebiscite and the rest is history.

Then come the post Feb 24 1966 coup era, when Busia and his PP turned this traditional vilification of Ewes into a political tool to win the 1969 general elections. It was preceded by an internal struggle within the NLC to share the spoils of office after the coup, which increasingly took an ethnic tone. My own father was a sacrificial victim. An extended quote from Dennis Austin, that great chronicler of Ghana history, captures the gist of it, so here we go:

“A surprising and disagreeable novelty of the election was the extraordinary anti-Ewe sentiment that was express1ed 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 department 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.

The interested reader is referred to the link on the Internet to read an extended abstract of the book in order to get a fuller understanding of the ethnic imbroglio in Ghana and so be able to compare events from then and now and subsequent analysis.

In Part 2, I intend to examine the hate campaign against the Ewes and the consequences or reactions from the 1970s which led to Kofi Awoonor’s infamous prison book, The Ghana Revolution, which he claimed he wrote in prison when gaoled for helping Brig. Kattah to escape from Ghana. It’d be necessary to focus on the Ghana Army, from its origins and recruitment trends since it is at the crux of the matter.

This self-hating, twerp from Akwapim who has adopted the moniker of a Denkyira woman is nothing but a slimy, psychotic coward! If he is man enough, he'd be using his real names as some of us do. At least Okoampa-Ahoofe uses his own names and has acknowledged his Ewe ancestry, maybe cos his maternal great grandmother was a member of royalty, being a daughter of Kwadwo Dei of Peki, even though he is all focused on reclaiming his Akyem heritage. Not Kwabena; he has rejected his Ewe bloodline cos he found out that it led to his slave ancestor from Krepi (Creepee). Oh! Yes, present middle VR where slaves used to occur. You blokes wait until I tell the story! Kwabena, I've got a memory like that of an elephant. I haven't forgotten what you let slip out off guard, when you tried to stop we of the Moral Brigade from taking on the T-mongers when Ghanaweb was formed. We read through you then, ignored you, and I am not surprised by you taking over where we cornered them and letting out the venom that was in you. But let me assure you, we Ewes have seen the worst and heard the worst but we are still around and riding high.

Yes, we can kick ass too, so no one is frightened by all the talks and threats to kill us! Nobody is bothered at all! When crazed Agyapong made his grazed calls on his TV or radio, whatever, for Asantes to kill Ewes and Gas, this wasn't even considered a serious issue enough to be discussed on the main two Eweland forums, CEANA and Eweland, I belong too. Total silence greeted that madness, so I wrote a short mail expressing surprise at the silence! Nobody bothered to respond to it!

So you all Akan jerks, mentally jaded retrogrades, foolish and ignorant ones of the Matemeho/UP tradition, you can go join Nana Akufo-Addo to climb Afadzato and shout yourselves hoarse: All Die Be Die!!!! Yen Akanfo, We are going to kill Ewes! to your hearts content. We don't care! We seen it and heard all before! We won't accept your apologies afterwards, anyway.

Akurang-Parry, historian of slavery and the slave trade, I think you should know better! A pity you are just a low level scum and jerk, obsessed by demons! Didn't you find out that your Ewe ancestor was given involuntarily as part of the annual tribute?

The difference is that the Akan supremacist like yourself posts much more nation wrecking "articles" than any other group on this forumn.

What you and some of your colleagues are doing was not different from what the educated ellites did in Rwanda, no wonder your pal Okoampa has a vision of that dream.

Dont even tell me about Bokor! His articles mostly attack The NPP and its candidate, not an ethnic group. Unfortunately that has been the focus of most of your articles since you and you and your likes appeared on this site.

Sometimes it feels like a curse to be a black man, esp one from subsaharan African. Stupidity abounds in all our deeds. No wonder the entire continent is in a mess. No sign of creativity but lots of self destructive ideas.

This amorphous and full of cacophonous prostitute of a woman, can go to bed with Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo, a three time failed presidential candidate who is as divisive and tribalistic as any oldish Akan whose mental horizon is not beyond the Pra!! If Akadu Menses, a man who experiences menses every month, a hobledehoy a nincompoop and an australopethecus of the inferior type, a dwarfed Neanderthal ape who think that the way they brutally killed General Kotoka and having access to the gold bullion in the Flagstaff house that the twerps and villains of the Mate Meho barbaric tradition used to build their Krobo villa and maintain they are arrogant and can stand the Ewes when it comes to war, we will see it all when it comes to materialise!! We the Ewes will never ever be cowed by any power, hidden or overt. We will not make any noise!! If I may ask such a stupid stinking man-woman of Akadu Mensewa, who claims that others think is a Denkyira queen and has accepted it without seeing herself in the mirror is a horrible joke!! Can such a disgraceful prostitute stand the heat that the Ewes will generate or the energies that will be garnered when their (male+female) female actions are met up with the gargantuan Ewe pent up reactions? Empty barrels make the most noise!! The Kigali nonsensical and bastards outcry are being waited for, for far too long!! Ignite or stoke the fire and we all see!! Where were all these stupid idiots who claim ownership of Ghana and yet still run away as refugees and residing at the slums of New York!! Did JJ Rawlings chose those areas for the Nassau community disable "tutors"?? We welcome the nonsense some of your parents perpetuated against the glorious development of Ghana whioch you now enjoy more than any region?? Was that brought by your backward and primitive pregnant women killings you under went which led to the loss of many innocent people in your regions before and during the independence of Ghana??

Okoampa, another confused "literate" whose researches are conducted based on rumours and backbiting of even fellow NPP party men who disgree with his cousing or uncle who will definitely be thrashed by President Mahama for good in 2016!! By hiding in the UK from the big disgrace he put on himself and the party and the economic troubles he created for mother Ghana is so pathetic that such a third class oldish student of the University of Ghana, whose law certificate is just a mere affidavit can be boasting all over the place, when the gurus who nhad a clear cut cases of first class and distinctions from the Oxford University that he Nana could not continue owing to reasons best known to Nana and his noisy surrogates cannot withstand the Ewes anyway!!! As dog-eaters from the Akyem enclave, hypocrites who ambushed King Osei Tutu and killed him outright and CIA local agents of the time of the glorious Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah cannot and will never threaten the Ewes into any submission. Bring it on board and we will know what you want!! Justice Kpegah had said it all already when your mad dog of Kennedy Agyepong want the heads of Ewes AND Gas to be killed!! Bushmen!! Nana is not well cut out to rule beautiful Ghana, period!!! Tweahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of cause such blessings breed envy and inferiority complex in the psyhce of those outside of it. If Ewes have all the best education, are most smart in Ghana, it would have reflected positively on the development of Ho,and all the Ewe towns.

Prosper I'd advise you stay away from tribal hatred because Ho doesn't have what it takes to tackle Kumasi and defeat it if we agree to go tribal....

Rawlings your Ewe apologist lined up Akans and shot them dead... what do you have to say about that, especially when Rawlings a self-righteous man, yet shielded by immunity from prosecution, walks freely and still taunt his victims every now and then with impunity? Have you stopped to reflect on what Akans feel? That anger could be best describe as a sophiticated weapon if your so called "tribal war" ever come up. Enough said, but stop the tribal hatred my friend.

How can anybody serve 8 years in a Kufuor government, in any government in Ghana, and not be corrupt? Impossible!!! Even Jesus himself will become corrupt serving so long in our governments. Corruption is the name of the game and no one can succeed in Ghanaian politics without it. Why do you think all of them, from Rawlings to Mahama and Akufo-Addo are so bent on political office? You think they are Jesus Christ ready to die for their fellow man?The fact that Akufo-Addo was never caught with his hands in the kitty does not mean he, too, was not corrupt. It only means he was clever in hiding it. Tweeah!!!

In fact, declining government accommodation and security detail, Nana Addo also declined to participate in the purchase of government bungalows and lands under the Accra re-development project started by Rawlings that also benefited some Rawlings appointees, including John Mahama. Yes, given the noise the NDC are making about Jake's bungalow, it would surprise you to know that John Mahama is also a beneficiary of that policy. In contrast, Nana Addo rejected all the spoils of government!

Mr.Akadu Mensema should trash talk to his Denkyira kinfolk and Ahoofe to his Akyem brethren.The last time yours truly checked,no Akan had given these two "you know what" permission to consistently attack other ethnic groups in Ghana,in their behalf. It's rather unfortunate that with their degrees in African Studies(from middling colleges ),they could not utilize the little knowledge obtained,to help cement the unity of all African ethnic groups.

Gold Coast, no matter what you say about Akadu, s/he is always right on the money.

In fact, if Akadu didn't get his/her degrees from a good school as you state, then s/he is exceptionally brilliant because s/he writes exceptionally well and his/her ideas are lucid and clarity is his/her weapon. In sum, you should argue and dispute his/her claims. Claiming that Akadu is not educated makes you a moron of the first order, I don't care if Akadu is woman or man. I just like his/her boldness and lucidity and wish that s/he would use prose instead of poetry: s/he is better at using prose.

Gold Coast or whoever,
When they insult and attack Akans it is alright with. You think Akans are trees without feelings. When Ewes and Northerners conspired to seize properties of Akan businessmen, while recreating and protecting businesses of their kinsmen; when Ewe and Northern elite released the Amedeka's and the Gyiwahs to murder Akan officers and judges, including nursing mothers, it was alright with you. When R. Amartoe called other ethnic groups 'savage tribes' that were not worthy to join the 'civilized Ewe' to form one country - that was okay with you. Wise up! Some Akans will one day react when they feel their backs are against the wall.

AKANS SHOULD CHANGE THIER CHARACHTER/UTTERANCES TO ENABLE THEM LIVE TOGETHER WITH OTHER PEOPLE PEACEFULLY. THEY TELL EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT AN AKAN THA HE/SHE IS NOT A GHANAIAN AND GHANA BELONG TO THEM NONSENSE BÇOS THEY ARE COWARDS AND DID NOT PLAY ANY MAJOR ROLE IN THE INDEPENDENCE STRUGGLE. THEY SIDED WITH THE COLONIAL MASTERS TO DE-RAIL ALL THE EFFORTS BY THE LATE DR. KWAME NKRUMAH AND HIS CPP. IT WAS THESE VERY AKANS LED BY THIER COWARD AFRIFA ( KOKOASE GENERAL CAPTURED AND KILLED AS AN ARM-ROBBER ) AND BUSIA WHO SACKED OUR AFRICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS ( NIGERIANS, MALIANS CAMEROUNIANS ETC ) FROM GHANA AND LOOTED THIER PROPERTIES IN 1972. THAT HAS CREATED A LONG ENEMITY FOR GHANAIANS ALL OVER AFRICA. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY FOLLOWED THESE NIGERIANS TO THIER COUNTRY IN TH EARLY SEVENTIES AND COME AND SEE HOW THEY SET THEM ABLAZE IN THE NAKED DAY LIGHT BÇOS THEY CARRIED THIER GET RICH QUICK ATTITUDE TO EVERWHERE THEY GO. YOU AKADU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GHANA SO KEEP ON HIDING WHEREVER YOU ARE FOR YOUR AKAN TRIBE IS THE MAIN PROBLEM IN GHANA. YOU CAN NOT TRUST AN AKAN BÇOS THEY ARE THE BIG HYPOCRATES IN GHANA. AN AKAN IS A THIEF AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED. EVERYWHERE THEY LAND THIER FEET THEY ARE NOT WELCOME. WHY? BÇOS OF THE GET RICH QUICK MENTALITY YOU PEOPLE HAVE.

What is written is written and those prophetic words , All die be die, coined by the Spiritually ordained TRUE president of the LEADERLESS Republic of Ghana , his eminent majesty, NANA ADDO DANQUAH was actually meant for 2016, as was rightly affirmed by the useless Atuguba court, that the courts are not there to declare winner of elections. " YOU CAN GO TO COURT" would be OUT of the phraseological vocabulary of that ugly monkey from the Brong Ahafo Fiema monkey sanctuary at the EC. Any twisting of arms of we the YEN AKANFUO and the importation those eczema induced red monkeys from Togo and guinea fowls from Bourkina to boost the chances of the Atinga-Trokosi alliance in 2016 will mean the four little words, " All die be die".

Most of what miss Mensema said are true but if Nana wins the presidency, he would be for all Ghanaians not just akans. You sure brought memories about all these great citizens who were made to abandon their businesses one way or the other. I knew some kids from these families and i know they went through a lot. I know for a fact that some politicians including Mr, Mahama appealed to voters of their tribes to vote for them and not much was said about that. Nana Addo should come out with a message to assure all Ghanaians and not just akans to vote for him for a better country and eschew tribalism, that is 'yen akanfo'
What is 'adze wo fie oye' which allegedly came from the late prez Mills. Most politicians are guilty as charged but Nana Addo should try and set a better example this time around as he did with the petition.

If you hate anti 'Akan', then you will realize that,you have deceived people like cardinal(Justice Sarpong) into fanning anti Asante sentiments whiles your Denkyira is left silent. Nkrumah did not like your style and tried to spread wealth among a greater majority and he was no northerner or Ewe. As an oral historian, you should know that new alliances have always been struck along your history with new friends. The republic of Akan which you define as Asante and Akyem forgetting your own Denkyira is too small for modern protection. Any lessons from Ukraine? You don't even help Nana with your insults. Note also that when it mattered, it was a 'Northerner' Bawumia who was on the spot light.

The history of human civilization is full of twists, turns, reverts and absurdities. We look absurd when we want to remove the mote from the eyes of others whiles we mention our twinge only in passing.
The first time I saw Ghanaians administering wickedness to each other was on 24th February, 1966 when a constitutional order was overthrown by a group of military cum police quislings. Quislings just as their intellectual advisers who just like Akadu Nririwa Mensema who preferred to be animals less than the white man's dog. They sold our human dignity and self respect to those who those days define their dogs as beings more than the Negro.
In 1966 those cum of the Earth both military and civilian took bread from the mouth of tens of thousands Ghanaians by banning the Workers' Brigade, withdrawing hundreds of Ghanaian students studying in Eastern Europe, giving the mini nuclear reactor that the Soviet Union gave us to the United States of America, which gave us nothing in return. Akadu Ntiriwa Mensema it is a fact that democrats live in gutters in the west of which the U.S. is not an exception. It is believed that freedom is when peoples' living places are like that of lunatics on the streets of Accra. When they pick food from dustbins epitomize your democracy and that of the west.
To us true Ghanaians there was and would not be any tragedy that befall Ghana and her people more than that 24/2/1966 because that is the point of reference for us. That was the day that we proved to ourselves and the world that we must be wicked to ourselves, demean our humanity just to create an arena for the imperialist to watch and enjoy our suffering.
Did any of the rich people you mentioned stood up to protect the destiny of Ghana on 24/2/1966. They were happy to watch that tens of thousands of Ghanaians go hungry and naked. On that day some of them wish that the military junta would have decreed that even air become a commodity. At the age of 13 I witnessed Kojo Addison chased by the army like hounds of dog chasing their game. Ministers in the CPP government were hounded and called steallers by the quislings, which include Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia a person who believes that causing his fellow citizens pain is just and experiment.
Those rich people again did not raise their voices when Busia in 1969 dismissed 516 Ewhes from the public and civil service. They do not care what their fellow citizens who just because they belong to another tribe have to suffer the fate that befall tens of thousands three year upon the wrong and inhuman advices given by Busia and his team of hounds.
Hundred of citizens dead as a result of the experiments by the military junta and Busia. It is a fact that people like you see those people just as things, or talking tools as the state in the U.S. refer to Negroes before 1975 or I may say before today. The fact is that the U.S. withheld an award from some serving military men just because of the colour of their skin and that award was given to them just last week. It means that they have just been animated and perhaps now animals equal to the white man's dog.
A Spanish general said fear not your enemies because they will kill you, fear not your friends because they will betray you, fear the indifferent because in their presence and silence agreement thousands are murdered.
It has been a long journey since the early 60s when the Young Pioneers were bombed to death because they ceased to be humans by exercising their freedom of association. Then the military men and officers who were murdered on 24/2/1966 dead by because they chose an occupation, so was the case of the Apollo 516 no one did them wrong. But those who Rawlings killed drove into poverty were wrong because to you they are Akans.
We are currently witnessing absurdity of being displayed by the west and US in the Ukraine and why should they not display such absurdity if they have absurd people like you as advisers.

please Mr kwame nobody is saying Ewhes and Northerners are animated things. please don't be wrong here. besides too if i say Akans are the true Ghanians it doesn't mean that other ethnic groups are not Ghanians, yes of course they are Ghanians but i only used an adjective to qualify Akans being Ghanians based on the history of ghana I know (ethnicity). i stand to be corrected.

I wrote that it is a fact that some Negroes who served in the U.S. army since the 1960 and are on retirement just got awarded because they are now perceived to be animated and not animals less than the white man's dog.
We wrote that that is the country in which Akadu Mensema resides and want unfortunately teach the rest of mankind civilization, human rights and respect for the dignity of the human person.
We also send our memory to the 1960s and the killing and maiming of Young Pioneers because of their freedom of association. We also stated that the rich people which Akadu Mensema wrote with such heart pouring never had mercy on any other Ghanaian, especially if that person is an Ewhe. We stated events of 1969, 1966 and 2001 to bring our message home. Thus to add it seems to Akadu Mensema, Kufuor, Busia and rightist elements in the Akan communities that Ewhes do not have a feeling, thus are not animated things. Kojo Addison is not an Ewhe but when he was being chased by soldiers in 1966 my heart bleed for him. NANA ADDO did your heart beat when Tsatsu Tsikata was imprisoned.

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 586 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 fisher folk are at the root of the anti-Ewe diatribe, to which some of us had said enough is enough!

More later.

Thanks Miss Akadu Mensema Ntiriwa for speaking out loud but also succinctly and poignantly on a matter that is of grave national concern.
"All die be die", a subtle and poor choice of words by a leading politician with presidential ambition is liable to misinterpretations by political opponents and pundits and it came as no surprise when like a pack of hungry hyenas they pounced on the prey.
Nana Akuffo Addo certainly mis-spoke but ghanaians are no strangers to such type of rhetoric on political platforms.
It's strange though that his most vociferous accusers are those opponents who never get weary of incendiary language usage themselves, and whose political survival has largely been sustained by vigorously soliciting for votes from particular ethnic groups.
If those calling on Nana Akuffo Addo to apologize are standing on solid moral ground and are sincere why haven't they called on Jeremiah John, Kofi Awonoor Williams and John Dramani Mahama who are even more guilty of whipping up tribal sentiments for political and economic gain?
Ethnocentric prejudice and bigotry are very congenial to human nature but most of the people practicing it don't ever admit it.
In their attempt to divert attention from their personal imperfections to the alleged imperfections of others they flip flop, humiliate, lie, ridicule, insult, revile, deride, sneer at, scorn or hold all others in contempt. When you're always looking down on things and people, you cannot see something that's above you. This is one of the reasons for our nstional under developed status. Don't the tribal bigots from all parties realize how nuch they are damaging the fabric of nationhood by encouraging tribalism and bigotry?

This write-up is nothing but another attempt to vilify and demonise the Ewes. I wonder what yardstick did the writer use to measure or ascertain what is inferior! Referring to my tribe the Ewes as inferior is a slip of tongue on his/her part which one would allow to pass by. But let me ask him/her to mention any lofty field of human endeavour which the "super tribe" or "master tribe" attained which was not even surpassed or rubbished by an Ewe? Is it academic brilliance, sports, military service or what have you?

I would like him/her to tell the whole world who unleashed Rawlings on Ghanaians? Who supervised the killing of the former military rulers and the judges? Mark Coffie Engineering Company was owned by an Ewe from Peki. Why did the writer fail to mention that business concern which also got crippled during the Rawlings era? Selective misrepresentation at its worst.

I am not a supporter of Rawlings but if because of Rawlings my stock should be dehumanised, I would hit back with the resolve of a ferocious serpent. Rawlings has become the common devil or the great Satan of Ghana. Any idiot would commit a crime and mention Rawlings as the doer. Many Ghanaians travelled to Europe and other parts of the world in those days to deceive the outside world that Rawlings was after them whereas they were common economic refugees.

There was this case of one fellow who travelled to Germany claiming Rawlings was after his neck. The Germans refused his prayers for asylum and sent him back only for his stock to come out with a make-belief story that the deported goon was executed by Rawlings. The incident generated anger among the Germans. However, it was the interest of one German journalist with a nose for news who travelled to Ghana to investigate the matter and it turned out to be a hoax. The bastard was not executed but was found living in his hovel somewhere in the deep recesses of the tropical rain forest feasting on animal shit soup. That shows the extent to which people can go to give a dog a bad name.

When people go to town with wild cat claims of discrimination and tribalism, how would one describe the wholesale or mass termination of employment/appointment of people from a particular section of the country? I leave the reader to his own judgement.

Let it be known here that Rawlings is not the leader or spokesman of the Ewes. Let it also be known that his actions/inactions are his own will. And let it finally be known that Rawlings will NEVER apologise to anybody. If he should apologise at all, then his creator must lead him and the duo should then apologise. Who is his creator?
