    You badmouth the good people of Wa, can you please tell us what we have done to so bad.

  • CHRISTOS CHRISTOFF 8 years ago

    you mistakenly think your your default birth in Ghana makes you a Ghanain? What about your parents? How did they enter Ghana? All things hausa stink EXCEPT HAUSA KOKO. AND THE BEAUTIFUL HAUSA WOMEN..now go sleep

  • Taribo. 8 years ago

    I guess you need to go read your constitution once more to know how citizenship in Ghana comes about. Or you wanted her to say she is a Mo or Chumburu or Lorbi. Sorry maybe some Ghanaians dont even know we have these tribes ...

    This Farida is certainly a lost soul. You think Hausas are better than people from Wa or any part of the north? Note that when the Hausa villagers were still worshipping idols, the Dagomba and Gonja Kingdoms had been centres ...

    she did not say that Hausa's are better than Wala people. She perhaps does not understand Walas. When you encounter Walas for the first time you will have the same conclusion. But Walas are very god people full of humour. Yes ...

    Why the insult? It is not only the people of Wa who are uncouth but people from the whole three Northern regions are too primitive and behave like cows.

    Even the Hausas can tell.

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    Your comments sound primitive as well, don't they?
    Any talk like yours is actually hate speech and that is a shame. Is possible one of your school teachers, colleague or friend is from one of these regions and if they behave ...

    Thanks for this, I'm tire of having to explain this to willfully ignorant people over and over again.

  • ObjectiveMan 8 years ago

  • Sister Souljah 8 years ago

    Balderdash! Absolute Nonsense.

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    Actually I am one of the secret admirers of the author and wished she had left her email address for me to take it from there. Yes call me a cheap man-I don't care!

    @one people: You are absolutely right. Let us not insult the sister.

    What about her insulting the people of wa is that right? If someone say you a certain type of snacks/peanuts is not an insult

  • Dan 8 years ago

    What about your toilet carrying people calling others as Kpagtie or apes?

    You call people who call you ntafuo which just means ntaafuo(twins) as tribalist but you call them apes.

  • Awudu 8 years ago

    Isit because Ashantis are the closest in looks to the apes?

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    This is not a fair question. All humans resemble the apes or should I say apes resemble humans since humans were the first to be created. We also know some humans resemble the ape more than others and vice versa.

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    Dan nobody can carry a toilet! I read about Atlas carrying the globe but that is a myth. But a northerner carrying a toilet? I heard some people from the north worked as labourers in the so-called Town Councils and kept peopl ...

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    She probably should be apologetic by now. She perhaps meant no insults, but expressed her opinion in a difficult way-she was probably hurt by one of those station boys in Wa and you know all station boys nation-wide.
    But my ...

  • The 8 years ago

    How a smelly primitive tanii who comes to carry Asantes toilet can call Asante as ape is beyond me.

    If you think you better than a monkey but you carry their shit on your head to make a living, then you are worse than any ...

  • Muri Salami 8 years ago

    You should have written your comments in twi, it would have made better sense. Nobody carries a toilet, or how does the asante toilet look like? do you shit on "mankani" (cocoyam) leaves or what?

  • back door director 8 years ago

    Ask your parents what banza bokoi means to the Hausas.

  • Moses 8 years ago

    This is absolute rubbish. How dare you indult a whole people and for what reasons? Is this cheap whore serious? By the eat, who told you that you are a Ghanaian? The fact that yiuvare born here does not make you silly smellin ...

    IF YOU WANT TO BE A GREAT WRITER, AVOID THIS TYPE OF BLUNDER OF INSULTING LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE. I'M FROM WA BUT HOPE NOT TO REPLY U WITH ANOTHER INSULT. THAT SINGLE WORD HAS DESTROYED YOUR ARTICLE.

  • Angel 8 years ago

    This is absolute RUBBISH!I thought that you were an educated person! To say that the people of Wa are uncouth smacks of your ignorance about the nature of people. Also you went to Wa only once, and this first impression makes ...

    While living in Kaduna, I uttered "dundun" and "wanga", but I was immediately told: "wana, Sokoto Hausa ni" "proper Hausas dont say "dundun", we say "doya", and we also dont say wanga but wana. I don't know what this say abou ...
