Oh! Yes!...it is not our ethnicity, religion or culture that divides us but stupid fools like Francis Kwarteng who will commend another idiots like Haruna Attah with such "copy and paste" irrellivant crap, are mostly the cause of devision among People.
By the way let me ask the village concert-boy Kwarteng, the sense at all in his silly essay, it's nothing, but just a misleading and misimformative raw shit.

You are still the most useless ethnocentric Buffoon on this website. You are just a wasted sperm, and methink your parents, if they are still alive, would be regretfully ashamed to have you as their offspring. You still not seem to know what time is it. And if you care to know, we are in the 21st, century - a whole new chapter of a paradigm shift - and not even the Ku Klux Klan can hold on to their stupid white supremacists mantra so who are you foolishly trying to impress here? And who are you trying to please with this backwardness? What has the Akans done to you to warrant this foolish ranting at this time when Ghana is seeking unity among its fragmented citizens. You claim to be Nkrumahist but your attitude is more divisive than what Nkrumah stood for. Use your head; use your God's given dignity to promote peace in Ghana instead of writing stupid stuff to incite hatred among your own tribesmen. Idiot!

It seems you are more interested in posing as an intellectual, than educating us on the circumstances that led to Akuffo-Adoo and Ken Agyapong;s pronouncements. Stay on track and one of these day you dear Ghana will implode. What do you expect Akans to do ? Turn the other cheek when they are being senselessly intimated ? Hell no.

Oh Gabby, today, you are Adjoa Wangara. You are no more the useless caricature, and the ex- convict that Ghanaians know. The truth is bitter. Can you point to a single statement from the writer which is wrong? Everything he said here is the gospel true. Nobody forced your foolish and hopeless Akufo Addo, to say such things against other tribes that he perceived to be an obstacle on his way to the presidency. Has he condemned that lunatic, Kennedy Agyalong's statements, calling for the killing of the Ewes and the Gas yet? Sadly, the so called Christian Council and the rest are till date, said nothing about it. That is why we shall vote massively to retain John Mahama in power to continue to enjoy the peace we have now. Gabby Adjoa Wangara, majority of us Ghanaians don't care too much what president Mahama did or did not do. All we want and has so far had from him is the peace, for which we are going to vote and retain him. Can same be said of your hopeless and useless denture smelling and wee smoker, Akufo Addo? Gabby Adjoa Wangara, you are the main problems for the failure of that fake lawyer. We can not allow things and idiot skeleton and certificate buying good for nothing aimless ex- convicts to rule over us. We can not wait for the d- day. You are a stupid fool to the core. You Akyem drug trafficking criminals should go and firm your cabinet in Abuakwa with that your gallamsay chief as the finance minister. You are a big swine to insult Francis. You are not even fit to polish his shoes. Biri.

Francis, what is the proof that Guans were the first to settle in the geographical space we call Ghana today?
Take a close look at a map of Ghana that shows all the ethnic groups and see how their settlements skirt round that of the Akans if that will tell you anything.
They are the Gonjas in the northern region, the non-akans and non-northern ethnic groups in the northern half of the Volta region, the akuapems in the eastern region, and the ewutu-efutu-senya-breku people in the central region.
Francis, why do you and your followers think that the mentioning of ethnic groups is a sin/offense.
If ethnic groups exist naturally, then why shouldn't we talk about them.
On your Nelson Mandela quotation: do you mean that race, ethnic groups, tribes and religion don't divide us? Be real.

Dear Isaac,
Where are Native Americans and Australian Aborigines settled in the Americas and Australia, respectively?
Please, go all the way back to ancient and classical history to find for yourselves more about migration patterns.
Just one quick example: As late as the first half of the 20th Bantus from East Africa were still moving towards the southern part of Africa. And this has been going on for centuries if not thousands of years.
A wide-ranging number of scholars scholar, scientists, geneticists, and historians from Cheikh Anta Diop to Louis Leakey have documented these migration patterns across Africa.
The human genome project provides some interesting insights into some of these questions (such as genetic drift, etc).
Yes, Mandela's statement is more of a "metaphor" than a literal one. So you got it all wrong.
Mandela was simply saying we should look beyond our parochial pettiness and harness the best from human diversity by embracing our common humanity and using that as a platform to improve the human condition.
It is the argument I am trying to make in this five-part series. Remember I have also said we should embrace our diversity and make the best out of it.
Remember "ethnic" or "ethnicity" can be race, religion, tribe..."
But I hate the word "tribe." Many anthropological institutions in the West...such as universities/colleges, think tanks, and other research outfits...have "banned" the use of such "racist" terms.
I have done a piece on this and you may want to check which institutions in the West I am talking about.
Thanks, and continue to read.

Isaac,

Most of our historians from the American-based David Owusu-Ansah to Adu Boahen have done some important work in that area.
While the history of the settlement of the Guans theoretically-hypothetically goes only as far as 1000 A.D., there is also some evidence that what is present-day Ghana was settled as far back as 3 B.C., if I remember correctly.
Work in this area is still ongoing and more details will be made available with time.
Check out Dr. Molefi Kete Asante's book "Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change" for additional info on the latter.
Let me know if this little info is helpful.
Thanks.
