I am sorry to tell you that you don't have brains like the writer. Ask yourself since independence who many Ashanti's has been elected as flag bearer of NDC. NDC has ruled Ghana more than any other political party, so go back to history and start reason like a human being. Fools like you are the very reason why Ghana and the whole Africa is not moving forward. Instead of people like you to use the little education you've acquired to unite people, you rather play on people ignorance and spew tribal nonsense just for your selfish gains. How come among all the political parties , NDC is the party that campaigns on tribal rhetorics?., Is time you guys stop that kind of nonsense because Ghana is falling behind, Africa is falling behind. This is not the time to inflame tribal passion, we are in the 21st century, we need to look beyond tribal scope and see ourselves as one people with common destiny. I really hate people like your type. I am and Ashanti and proud of it and I expect you to be proud of who you are. You will gain my respect if you respect me but you will incur my wrath if you disrespect me. The writer is 100 percent right. Go to evey house in Ashanti region and you will find someone who is married to another tribe in that family. I have kids of Ewe, Northern, fante , Brong, Kwahu, and many more in my family. Just so Idiot like you and Anyidoho must know, Ashanti's have changed a lot . We don't dwell on the past but looks to the future and will continue to do so. Fucking guys like you and Koku can continue to live in your warp,twisted minds of stone ages, others will move forward. Tell NDC to stop that Ashanti bashing to score political points because they are doing mother Ghana a great harm!!.

Thank you very muchb for your comments. I've always wondered why some people take delight in always playing tribal victims. We need to be proud of who we are because that's the only way we can be appreciated.

Kojo T, the poster child for "inward looking" Ghanaians! Grow up, man! Don't you realize tribalism is one of the major setbacks of most African nations yet you don't miss a breath to promote tribal hatred whenever you have the least opportunity? Can you look God in the eye and say you and some indignees of the Volta region who think, talk and act like you are not equally or perhaps more tribalist than the average Asante? I am personally acquainted with some decent Ewes but you're certainly not one of them.

I am an Asante, and almost every member of my family is an NDC. But the kind if discrimination we currently suffer under the NDC is interesting. Whenever my uncles go to the flagstaff house to look for links, they are quickly turned aside, all because they are from Ashanti region. We are worried. I have already defected to NPP, and it is my prayer that my family members will do same.

Ethnocentric sentiments have always been used by the NDC. It has always worked for them but they are in for a big surprise this year (Elections 2016).

The writer has done a good job by this challenge. He even forgot about the NDC evil plot against Ashantis, how only their businessmen Dr Safo Adu, Apea Menka, Boakye Matress, BA Mensah and others had their businesses ransacked. No business from Ewe was touched. So Koku is wrong. NDC plotted evil against Asantes. The writer has done well to challenge Anyidoho.

i most times cry when i hear Koku saying these kind of stuff. he is osmeone who wants to enjoy the power he is enjoying. he always tries to incite tribal tensions. what was the meaning of that press conference. sometimes one ecpect the leaders to lead the way for unity in the country, but they rather cause the tribal sentiments just to get vote without thinking about the consequencies. i wish God willinstantly punish every politicians that preaches tribalism. some of the current crop of politicians in Ghana are nation wreckers. they only think about their pocket. someone should sit Koku down. My dear voltarians, dont let this kind of comments from Koku incite you. vote for whoever you want to vote for. dont vote base on what Koku said but vote for someone you yourself wants to vote for.

This is not important, we are in 21st century and Asantes should think as such, sometimes i laugh when some Asantes are bragging, you know what? instead of K'Dua to use the power he is having to creat jobs in Asante region he is using the money to buy mansions and big cars to feel comfer how rot Asanteman has become, what is the function of that thing called Asanteman council? it is there for what? analyze this if you are a leader and aliens comes to your land and take your properties to their children and their children prosper whiles your children are in abject poverty how would you classify this leader? food for thought. Those Asantes who are always on demonstration should chennel all these things to Manhyia and Asanteman council because they have miserablely failed Asantes and Asanteman at large, i want some sensible Asantes who are not greedy bastards to challenge the Asanteman authorities. I always weep for Adanse people upon numerous years of mining at Obuase look at their various towns very dispicable. The new generation of Asantes should think about development and eschew greediness that is my little input. A word to a wise is ............

Hate dnt develop nation. Recently I have been travelling in n out of Ho frm Kumasi. If Voltarians dnt think abt devt as against ethnicity their region wil always be in poverty. A single mkt project in any part of Ashanti say Mampong is either same or bigger than that of Ho(regional capital). Ashanti v developed far pass Volta all cos we look you beyond tribe. When the voltarian travels outside Volta n life goes well with him hr hardly goes back home to his hometown but the Ashanti man prefers to build in his home region first before any other region. That is how we have been trained. Voltarians think outside the box of ethnicity n u can develop. Ashanti's luv u n all other tribes.

General Achempong, Akuffo, Afrifa, Yaw Boachie, Justice KorantengAddo, Justice Adjepong , Major Acquah were all High Profile Akans and were murdered ( not jailed after a trial in open court). Under Government headed by an Ewe. Should all Akans take that as evidence of Ewe hatred for Akans. Akans also have feelings. Is that they way we should go with our politics. Enough of this nonsense.

Suppose Asanteman choose to secede from so-called Ghana? How can a nation pointedly marginalised a large sector of its mostly enterprising people?
I think the Asahntis have been unusually circumspect and calm in the face of the subtle and demoralizing discrimination meted to them since Nkrumah's days and worst under this corrupt and incompetent clueless regime of the NDC and the dead goat Mahamafia.

History tells us that Asanteman was not even part of the British Gold Coast colony. A protectorate as it was then was more of a nation state with its institutions of governance. If any sector of then Gold Coast could have survived as an economic nation state, Asanteman should not have been part of this failed state called Ghana.

NDC has contrived with all the small tribes of Ghana to contain the so called Ashanti hegemony and largely succeeded to keep mostly Ashantis out of central government activities.

How long will this stupid and blatant discrimination continue? Until recently with the discovery of oil in the western region; and even historically that part of western region is Asanteland by conquest; almost all the resources for the development of Ghana came from Asanteman.

Look at the cocoa industry and the gold mines and timber. And yet a child with an Ashanti name Agyeman Prempeh, Boakye Yiadom can hardly secure a scholarship from scholarship secretariate. The NDC agenda is ANYBODY BUT ASHANTI (ABA).

it is a fact in Ghana today that a dog can secure a job at interview ahead of an Ashanti. I think it is time Ashantis take a good introspection of the treatment that this unholy conspiracy is wroughting on their development, personally and economically.

The least said about Kwaku Duah Otomfo and the Asanteman Council the better. They have failed to realise the unique brand and huge prospects endowed with Asantemen.

They better wake up soon before they are overwhelmed with an Arab spring agitation in Asanteman that might consume them and their black stools.

Private business and buga buga is in town, and hustling abroad is no more going to ease unemployment levels in Asantemen. It is time Asanteman takes a fair share of the national cake in central govenment employment and projects or sooner than later the cry for secession will be on the lips of the teeming discriminated and marginalised Asanteman youth.
