ANOBAH, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE TSIKATAS COME FROM? DO ALSO KNOW DR. OBED ASAMOAH? HE WAS THE ONLY FOREIGN MINISTER DURING RAWLINGS TEA/PARTY REVOLUTION. GUESS WHAT A TOTAL OF 16 YEARS. YES, IF HE WAS NOT THE ONLY EDUCATED PERSON IN GHANA AT THAT TIME, WHAT OTHER REASON CAN ANYONE ASSIGN TO THE FACT THAT HE WAS A FOREIGN MINISTER FOR 16 YEARS DURING THE PERIOD THAT HIS TRIBESMAN WAS THE PRESIDENT?

You are right to an extent only. JJ NEVER had that MANY Ewe Kinsmen in position. Go check the percentage. Kuffuor and Nana are by far the WORST. Even Kuffour's Defence Minister WAS HIS BROTHER. My God, the man does not even know the difference between an AK47 and a Brenn Gun and Water pistol. The only assault weapon he has ever seen was a farmers cutlass. Courage Quarshiga WAS DENIED that position because of TRIBALISM.

How many Tsikata's,if I may ask?.
Kojo & Tsatsu,plus Obed not forgetting late Serlomey & also adding Victor Obeng to the other list.So those 3 Ewes could not be said to occupy every or all positions.

Obed may be from VR but he's not Ewe.
And in actual fact, JJ is not Ewe in the normal sense of the word. He didn't grow in Eweland so he didn't grow up with Ewe friends who would become his buddies. His father is not Ewe ... read full comment

And in actual fact, JJ is not Ewe in the normal sense of the word. He didn't grow in Eweland so he didn't grow up with Ewe friends who would become his buddies. His father is not Ewe so he has Ewe relatives only from one side of his family. It cuts down the number of Ewe relatives he can tap on.
And JJ's Ewe is not even very good. He doesn't speak any pure Ewe.
He is Ewe, sure, but not exactly like all other Ewes.

A very prominent Ghanaian historian based here in the US once told me Rawlings may have "some" Akan roots.
I did not follow up on this "sensational" info though. I will at the appropriate time since this historian is now in Ghana (I will when he returns).

I won't be surprised if somewhere in Rawlings family tree (lineage), there're some Akans. After all, the Asantes took refuge among the Anlos during their tribal wars with the other Ewes. As warrior soldiers living far away from their home, it will be normal if they consorted with some local women. It may result in some issues which they may have left behind. You know the Asantes are matrilineal.
This is just a hunch only - not any confirmed finding I know of...

You can clearly see that apart from what francis kwarteng copied and pasted from other writers, he can't personally write correct English grammatical owing to his modicum (bird size)I.Q.

Feature Article of Sunday, 30 April 2017
Columnist: Francis Kwarteng
Akufo-Addo’s cousin, a potential economist of deception 1
Kwarteng what's the meaning of this rubbish:
=> "Moreover, the fact that the constitution grants the president discretion and authority to appoint persons to political office doesn’t, in and of itself, absolutely imply selfish acts of imprudence in governing strategies and tactics on his part."

Prof Adei said Mahama cabinet was full of Northerners but there was no evidence of competence. So where was Prof Adei emphasis?

Pres. Nana Addo Should as a matter urgency put to a halt any free shs arrangements and work to address the pressing basic economic concerns of the country. Such as capitation grant, NHIS and the obvious power crises .because northern shs schools as of now are still not reopened due to the non availability of feeding grants. So if govt isn't able to meet this mere demand how much more of this Trojan horse like free shs?
