My brother you are absolutely right. I even asked myself why that kid, Ofosu Kwakye never mentioned the Suhum-Apedwa road linking Arcca to Kumasi to the northern part of Ghana was excluded.

Anyway, wrong plus wrong is equal to wrong. Put in write-ups to unite us and not this kind which makes no difference between you and Mahama [sic].

Why equate cocoa to Asantes? The majority of the farm hands in the cocoa plantations are from Northern Ghana. On the other hand, which ethnic group is Pres Mahama treating so well?

One Ghana, One People.

17. Anti-Ashantiism is the cornerstone of vindictive Mahama/NDC economic and developmental policies such that the economy is suffering unnecessarily-----in the manner explained above. What is anti Ashanti when cocoa price is frozen or the cedi is falling? Does these affect Asantefo only ? Adomi bridge is under repairs cutting off the Volta region . Is that not Anti Volta?

Isn't it interesting how you have completely forgotten about Akufo-Addo's "y3n akanfuo" mantra? Have you forgotten about Kennedy Adjapong calling for all Gas and Ewes to be killed in ashanti land? What about Ursula owusu calling all northerners cattle herders? And all the denigration certain groups pile on the rest of Ghanaians, falsely believing they are superior whereas all available evidence suggests otherwise? You can try your hardest to throw dust into people's eyes but your efforts will fail and fail miserably. The fact that President Mahama can go to Kumasi and address the local people in fluent twi speaks volumes about the man and what he stands for as an inclusive politician. Name me one high ranking NPP politician who speaks any northern language. Not even Hausa which is widely spoken in the entire West Africa. Now talk about ethnocentrism and see who the cap fits better. President Mahama commissioned a completed road in one of the Kumasi suburbs recently. Did that escape your memory? Have you ever heard of the work currently taking place to redevelop the Kumasi central market into the biggest and most modern market of its kind in Africa? What about the roads, schools, universities, hospitals, houses, etc being constructed in areas other than Accra? Have those fallen victim to your selective amnesia too? The runways in Kumasi airport were recently upgraded. Did you ever hear about that? And have you realised that with all your propaganda NDC support is actually growing in the Ashanti region? That should tell you the government is doing something right even if cocoa prices don't seem right in your eyes. And if you think life is so much better in La Cote D'Ivoire why don't you pack your bags and go and live there? Lastly just count the number of Mahama appointees of Ashanti origin and compare it to the number of non-Ashanti appointees in the last NPP government and you will call yourself names that my level of decency won't permit me to call you. In conclusion I would suggest you educate yourself just a little better and learn to think as a Ghanaian as opposed to an Ashanti person and you would start to see things that eluded you before.

Eliza you are wrong. If Mahama is doing proper development, Kumasi Airport development must precede Tamale airport development in national economimy setting. The Kumasi airport runway resurfacing is a big joke.Its a baby development. The completed Ksi feeder road commissioned by Mahama recently is baby development again--window dressing and insignificant just to bamboozle people. Look at the the Accra road projects and compare to the Ksi projects. Even Sofoline is abandoned.Eli\a your comment is weak.

So all the Presidents Rawlings, Mills Mahama (Almost 30 years rule between them) did something and Ghana is in such a quagmire? Think again Kojo T

That's NDC for you, but John Mahama will reap what he is sowing now. There is a hope for Asantes, in the midst of cowards men there were a bravely women who stood up and resisted their enemies. Asantes should put politics aside and come together as one people with common goal and destiny. My Asante brothers and sisters, together we can build Asanteman like Garden of Eden let those myopic's wallowing in their ignorance but those who are willing to do it must come together so that we can build our cities and villages. Asanteman, Asanteman it's not over until it's over. Resources or no resources we can develop it, Our forefather's left a legacy for us, let us also leave a legacy for our children, what are you doing to help Asanteman to develop? If Tweneboa Kodua sacrifice himself for Asanteman how about you who is an Asante doing to help Asanteman? Only a foolish dog barks at the flying bird.

Felolow me if you can but put all the burdens behind.

I m surprised, Boankra inland port is abandoned, Suhum Road, . Even no new project in Kumasi by NDC. Kumasi market project is still a concept. Kumasi is being suppressed

I learn SEfwi farmers have given ultimatum to MAHAMA to increase producer price of COCOA. Thats good. This time it is not ASHANTIS giving ultimatum otherwise they will say its tribalism

Are the Asantes the only cocoa growers in Ghana? You had just mentioned the Sefwis. Ash/R is not even the largest producer of cocoa anymore, not to mention the fact that much of the cocoa was being produced by migrant farmers. Polly Hill's seminal work on the subject is there for all who claimed to be educated to read.

So Sefwi farmers have asked for more in producer price. I think thats good. So thats exactly what the writer is advocating for. And he is right observing that if Ashanti farmers do the advocacy the NDC prejudiced mind will abuse Ashantis. How refreshing that Sefwis should do the advocacy, then all cocoa farmers will enjoy. Are you one of the jealous bunch? Tell your NDC to do the right things and stop your tribalism

SILENCE is the best answer to negativity and negation tendencies but one should remember 1/5th ACTIVE and 4/5 INACTIVE theory of life propensity and give glory to the Almighty.
What would you expect in terms of development of one (prez.) who comes from a place of highest degree of depravity on the land. It is interesting for one to cry about lack of drinking water where many rivers flow to the hearing of the one (prez.)who comes from drought-embedded region of the land to supply drinking water. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Dont trust Mahama. I think he has some negative tendencies about some regions. The neglect of Nsawam-Suhum road is a gigantic fraud on a greater portion of Ghana motorists. How, for 6 years of suffering on that major road. This is shameful. Mahama has not done well at all
