Ashantis should go and trade with the northeners for more nutritious food - black eye beans, bambara beans, cow peas, millet, peanuts, yams, beef,guinea fowls,etc. Their children will grow taller.

We have known this all these decades. Even the Ashanti Kingdom in their wisdom decided to address this by bringing in foodstuff and also intermarrying by force or voluntary with northners all the way to the Mossi Kingdom; this was initially to improve the stock and biological status of the royal family! Why the FOOD RESEARCH INSTITUTE, THE FACULTIES OF AGRIC IN OUR UNIVERSITIES, ALL THE HOME SCIENCE TEACHERS, ETC CANNOT HELP GHANA ADDRESS THIS STUNTING PROBLEM BEATS MY IMAGINATION! GO TO NIGERIA AND SEE WHAT FOOD THE HOTELS, FROM SMALL TO TOP CLASS, SERVE!

The ASShanti farmers send the best foodstuffs they harvest to the nation's capital Accra to sell to make more money while they, including their chief Solomon, eat the left over rotten ones. That's why they are the richest tribe in Ghana. They know how to get more money by eating the rotten crops.

There were two dwarfs who won the lottery. The first thing they did was hire a couple of prostitutes and go to a hotel. Their rooms are next to each other and with a wink, they each take their lady of the night into a room.
The first dwarf is only just in bed when he hears through the wall "1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH". Excited that his friend is all ready under way he rips off his clothes. Still he hears "1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH,
1-2-3, HUH" from next door, and wonders how his friend can keep going.
He tries to concentrate on what he is doing but is so distracted by the "1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH" that despite his and the prostitute's best efforts, he cannot get it up. Even as he was drifting off to an unfulfilled sleep he still hears "1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH, 1-2-3, HUH"
The next day they meet outside the rooms after the prostitutes have left. The second dwarf is still bright red in the face and looks exhausted.
"How was your night?" asked the exhausted one.
"Terrible" replied the first. "I couldn't get an erection."
"You lucky bastard" said the second. "I couldn't even get on the bed."

Poor or unballanced nutrition and other social factors can be causal up to about 60%. However, the fundamental cause, up to 40%, can be definitely genetic. It is universally true that suitably-matched inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, and inter-racial marriages do have a levelling-off effect.
Basing our analyses on evolutionary biology and other related disciplines, but staying away from shallow-thinking tribilistic child-talk, I am sure you would agree that, firstly, we should improve our nutrition as the article suggests. Secondly, we should mix our genes favourably through inter-tribal marriages.

Ewes are not tribalistic. Wherever they go, they often marry the local people and settle down. Per capita, Ewes men and women inter-marry more than any other tribe in Ghana.

In Europe babies and children are prescribed Vitamin D combined with Vitamin C. Both vitamins are vital for the kids growth and development. Vitamin C to prevent the English disease also know as cricket or bow-leg disease, or as we say in German Skorbut. The lack of vitamin C is the reason why seamen lost their teeth. Now vitamin D is responsible for healthy bones and teeth. Too much Vitamin D or too dental fluorose (white stains on the teeth, as well as too much of Vitamin D will lead to defect in the bone structure. For sure we all need vitamins and minerals for growth. A balanced diet is in evitable if we wanna grow normal. If you want your kids to grow well and tall then a pint of milk each day will help. Girls and boys grow in length up to the 17 and sometimes to the age 18 after that growth is brought to a halt. So parents use this period to give your children all the nutrients , proteins, minerals and vitamins they need then after age 18 one can only grow only in the width and not in the length. Now fellow ghanaians on this forum let us contribute positively here and deter away from these tribalistic insults. We are all ghanaians irrespective of which tribe we belong. With this attitude how can a nation grow. Good day.
