  The Builsa Way” was nothing but a coded phrase for employing all the rigging methods NDC had been using to rig elections since 1992. As we have mentioned earlier, the party did not suffer such a humiliating defeat for any other reason other than the fact that they were relying solely on rigging the elections as usual.
  
  On the other hand, NPP party and its presidential candidate won the elections because they succeeded in closing almost all the rigging avenues before the 7th of December elections. They were also very vigilant on the poling day and able to collate the results in 8hrs and distributing them to all the media houses in for announcement. All this was done before the EC could change the results and fraudulently declare Mahama and the NDC victorious.

  With this, I am giving notice to Kwame Ahoofe and all the Akan NPP ethnocentric scumbags that their time of spewing vile garbage has run out.
  
  Now, I hardly log into Kwame's diatribe. No time to spare. Besides, what else has he got to say besides his ethnocentric vibes? I know what his problem is and I have been waiting for an opportune time to address them. For readers not aware, his father never identified himself as from Akyem, but rather from Peki, just as many of his relations who see Peki as their home town and claim to be Ewes. Yes, his great grandfather came from Akyem to the Peki area way back in the 1860s and got married to a daughter of one of the Kwaku Deis after the wars there ended with the defeat of the invading Asantes and their allies in the Sagrenti War. The Akyems, led by one warlord Dompey, came to help the people of Weme, or Krepi, as the Europeans called it. Unfortunately, some powerful Anlo chieftains (not the only Ewes, btw), quite against the admonition of their Awoamefia and the British stationed at Keta, were still allied to the Asantes thanks to their control of amunition supplies to the Asantes, the western source from Elmina to the Nzima area having been blocked. These people were very rich warlords and kingdoms (dukor), and controlled 1000s of armed men. Actions taken against them and how some had to go into exile for several years in Togo are all recorded in the annals and history books. Moxon's (the white Aburi chief) amusing book gave one of the best account I had read.
  
  I think Kwame came across the details of this history while in America and developed his pschotic hatred for the Anlos in particular. The Akyem kingdom was not an innocent victim of Asante aggression but a major player in the predatory wars for slaves and booty during the pre-colonial era. At one time after the abolition, over 10000 escaped slaves from Akyem turned up in the Gold Coast, not to mention the many others coming individually and in small groups.
  
  It was by mere act of providence that the then stronger Akyems were defeated by the Asantes (treachery did the Techimans in), thanks to the "Hausa" [obviously "Northerners") bowmen in the Asante army when the heavy downpour rendered their (Akyems) superior firepower useless. Now, I wonder if Ahoofe is aware that had the Anlos provided the canoes to ferry the chasing Asante army across the Volta, when the Akyems also ran helter skelter into Eweland to as far as Togo (just as the Gas, Wenchis, Nkonyas and Akwamus before), where some remained up to today, there wouldn't be an independent Akyem state today? Oh! That history must be re-told without all the hush-hush which even the great Wilks couldn't unveil and the Adu Boahens repeat myths to cover.
  
  I think it was high time we tell the whole truth about what lies behind and the origin of this ethnocentric bigotry, hatred and prejudice we witness in Ghana. Keeping quiet is no longer the option.
  
  Kwame, I am sick and tired of Akyem this, and Akyem that. Akyems became bit players in pre-colonial times when Osei Kwame or Kwame Osei, whatever, was trashed by the Asantes in 1763. Those who did not run and crossed the Volta were marched and resettled elsewhere, Asante Akyem, for instance. After that, they were nothing in fighting prowess compared to the Anlos. You see, it was Torgbui Sri II (in private life Cornelius Kofi Kwawukume) who raised the 15000 troops for the British to take over Togo from the Germans and received the KMAC and cooptation into the LegCo as the first African chief before Nana Ofori Atta. But he was no stooge and refused to allow the troops he raised to be taken to Cameroon to fight the Germans there. Incidentally, his last place of trading was in Cameroon where he had settled as a big merchant (one of the wives was even from there) before his recall in 1906 to become Awoamefia. He joined the LegCo as a most experienced person who knew the whole of the West African coast and speaking 4 European languages and several West African languages, from Sierra Leone to the Cameroon. When he became Awoemefia in 1907, people were still keeping their slaves, not to mention only trokosi, a cultural practice brought to southern Eweland by Dangme fugitives, among several other cultural practices, etc., they brought with them. The efforts at abolsihing such slavery and practices such as panyarring considered as obnoxious are in the archives, some not even opened yet. Time we open the archives.
  
  I have noticed that the NPP Scumbag who has been abusing my name and familym as well as others, is at it here too. Why should we allow such dzimaplaviwo (unbred kids) to continue abusing us and we remain silent because of what is written in the Bible or some dopey maxim about a mad man taking your pioto or loins cloth while you are in the bathroom? Of course, you're stupid enough to come out of the bathroom naked to chase him then people will think both of you are stark-nakedly mad! Call for something to wear and then arm yourself before you go out after the mad man who repeatedly take your pioto while you're in the bath house. So, in essence, arm yourself with knowledge and then go after these ignorant and foolish ethnocentric bigots and expose them for what they are: scumbags!
  
  Watch this space!

  You should be ashamed of yourself. You do not know Builsa is the name of a tribe.

Phd holder ,pls mind ur language.We are all one people living in one Ghana.Do you know the meaning of phd?It means Pull Him Down.so mind ur comments.

  I have always been mindful of what I say about other tribes. the major cause of tribal conflicts or ethnic conflicts is lack of respect for other tribes. our so call PHd holders are consistently proving to us that they lack common sense. a Ghanaian musician once said that book sense without house sense "no be sense". at my level I know that one need to have facts before you do writeup. if this are how PhD holders behave I better don't get educated. a bitch is a son of a bitch.
