What is being said is that all the stretch of land up to Akuapen mountains are technically part of the Accra
plains.... all the way to Akosombo., Asutsuarr, Dodowa etc

NPP HAS GOT TO BE THE 'BEST' EXAMPLE OF A ORGANIZED-CRIME TYPE, INTIMIDATION-ORIENTATED POLITICAL PARTY IN THE WORLD. EVEN THE REPUBLICANS COULD LEARN A FEW NASTY TRICKS FROM THEM. SUCCESSFUL COUNTRIES HAVE CITIZENS WHO WORK TOGETHER. THIS PULL-HIM-DOWN SYNDROME IS SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BUT NPP DON'T CARE. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT NDC NEVER DID TO NPP WHAT THEY DID TO NDC WHEN THEY GOT INTO POWER-FIRING PEOPLE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND WITCH HUNTING!!! NPP SHAME ON YOU!!!

OUR KIDS IN NORTH AND VOLTA LIE ON THEIR BELLIES ON THE FLOOR TO WRITE AND LEARN YET MASSIVE LOOTING IS GOING ON DAILY...Whilst It Is The Paramount Duty Of Every Govt To Ensure The Security Of Its Citizen, When U Come To Ghana, Our Govt The Ndc Is Rather The Very Entity Destroying Our Security By Indulging In Massive And Blatant Thievery And Corruption Against Its Very People In Several Subtle And Clear Way. This Has Deepened Poverty In The Country Especially The North And Volta Regions Which Are The Strongholds Of This Ndc Govt......Yet The Educated In Ndc Are So Devious That They Play On The Minds Of Their People To Deepen Tribalism And Ethnicity In Politics Thus Making Their Voters Who Are The Worst Victims Fail To Even Realize The Massive Thievery Of Ndc Govt........Contract Sole Sourcing And Bloated Contract Budgets, Sada, Subah, Gyeeda, Leap, Yes, Etc Have Become Tools For The Ndc Govt To Dupe Ghanaians And Hence Deepen Our Poverty Which Has Seen The Ghana Cedi Drop From 1.12 Ghc To The Dollar To The Present State Where It Is Almost 4.0 Ghc To The Dollar.........And Yet This Inept And Criminal Mafia-Like Ndc Govt Is Looking Forward To Winning The 2016 Elections Bcos They Have Got Afoko And Kwabena Agyapong Etc To Destroy Npp’s Hopes Of Winning 2016 To Save Ghana From The Hands Of These Ndc Thugs Masquerading As A Govt.....No Wonder Ghana Is Ranked As The Second Most Corrupt African Country In Africa By Transparency International.......Even John Mahama Had To Overspend National Budget By A Whooping 4.3 Bn Dollars In 2012 Just To Win Elections 2012.....Ghana Has Never Been On Its Feet Since Then.......This Man John Mahama Is Not Only Clueless But Also Very Incompetent And Deeply Involved In The Thievery And Corruption Destroying Us All ..........Ide Biiii Kekekekekeke

Anytime I condemn NDC, Ewes don't believe it. They think its abnormal. They conclude I can't be an Ewe.

But anytime an Asante condemns NPP, it's normal and they believe.

To them, an Asante can root for NDC but an EWE can't root for NPP.. the latter is an abomination.

I tell my Ewe folks... such thinking smacks of arrogance, bigotry and senselessness.

We are all Ghanaians. There are bad Asantes as there are bad Ewes. There are good Ewes as there are good Asantes.

Let us accept this natural phenomenon and be at peace with ourselves.

Gud morn.

There's nothing wrong being an apologist without reason, Charles Agbenu, but let logic and thoughtful reasoning prevail if you must dare throw in your two cents. How far is the proposed campus from Accra? How far is Winneba from Accra? No one ever said there are no unwise party members in the NPP and NDC; you confirmed it.

The University for Development Studies started wih that Nyankpala campus. Nyankpala is found in the Savilugu/Nanton district and it is even not the district capital. Today, UDS has a campus for medical, school in Tamale, a campus for physical sciences in Navrongo and a 4th campus for the humanities in Wa. Allow people who with visions to implement them. Others were in power for 8 years and did nothing to give Eastern region a university

Yes, there were consultations with the people. Mills/ Mahama out of disrespect to ER are rather doing their own
thing. In your argument, Nyankpala in the North should be equated to Bunso in ER. BOTH HAVE the existing FACILITIES. Somanya still does not come in.

The problem with Mahama govt is locating the varsity without consultations with the people... MAhama must admit he goofed. Even GITMO 2 were brought in without any consultations. Their is something wrong fundamentally with MAHANA way of doing things... capricious use of power. What is driving Mahama to do this?

in paragraph one you state why siting a university near Accra, a congested area is a problem and call for better decentralized development. then in your second and third paragraphs you take on the Government for decentralizing road infrastructure and giving Ghanaians more options (Eastern Corridor Road) and Tamale international Airport. What kind of pig brain analyses is that? you have exposed yourself. YOU See your life????

We are talking about economic development, and decentralization.... which should be done with common sense. (I'm not the Bishop)

Ignoramus. President AKufo Ado in 1979 was ceremonial. It should not even be counted. BUsia was voted for
as the Prime mInister.
Typical NDC argument.
Class 1proper. Kufuor could not gave done everything. Why did Rawlings who preceded Kufuor 20 yrs not do it.? There is always something to do but it must be done with common sense. NDC can even choose to build 4 airports in Volta. That's something but will that be prudent?

Charles, I find your arguments rather strange and contradictory. If every development agenda was to focus on only economic viability then am sure no village will have electricity or water. The fact that the varsity is starting in somanya doesn't mean in the future it can't be expanded to bunso or koforidua. Uds started in nyankpala, but now has its main campus, VC office etc in tamale. Atta Akyea didn't have any business making those comments knowing very well how ndc can twist issues to their benefit especially in an election year. What do u mean by the eastern corridor road is not economically feasible compared to making Accra-kumasi a dual carriage way? Do u think that all those who use that road use it bcos they want to? What happens to opening up the country for development? K4 introduced the best social intervention policies in the 4th republic to help alleviate poverty and improve the dignity of life for the poor and rural dwellers. Huge sums were used to accomplish this, without thinking of economic viability. These are the arguments that make Ghanaians see npp as an elitists party. Every Ghanaian living everywhere has a right to portable drinking water, electricity, and gud road. This is explicitly contained in our directive principles of state policy. Again, tamale airport vis a vis kumasi airport. What statistics show that the kumasi airport will be more viable? Again, tamale is ndc strong hold with or without the airport. So ndc clearly didn't have a political motive in putting the airport there. Tamale is one of npp weakest links, and wise political strategy will be to support such an idea and tell the electorates that npp will even improve on this. This will convince ppl to vote npp. But condemning this idea sends the signal that the ppl there are unworthy of this development and the poor performance by npp will continue. Am true npp but sometimes comments like Atta Akyea's own and your inconsistent article make me sad and wonder if we are really interested in winning 2016. Ndc is smart and will always push npp to make unguarded statements for them to capitalize on. It's not every action of our leaders that we must defend. Lets still remember the damage that nana's all die be die did to our 2012 chances. Clearly nana didn't mean what the ndc propagandists carried around but it affected our chances. Pls lets stop these useless articles and defense of vile comments. Ghana has suffered too much in the last 7 years in the hands of these incompetent and broad daylight armed robbers who call themselves ndc. Ghana needs competent hands to save her from this present state of hopelessness.

University of Agriculture was earmarked for Somanya as far back as 1965 by the Nkrumah government.Construction was about to begin when the coup took place on February 24,1966.
