haaa, this is the level of our education an editor in chief of a news paper does not know that these people come from three different region and that there is no one big northern Ghana as a region. Ken should know better and stop behaving that way. Hadi and citi fm should educate Ken about the regions of Ghana and stress "we have 10 region and not 8 regions" as Ken want us to believe. these sub-standard journalist make reports like "Wa in the upper east region" KEN TRY AND TRAVEL AROUND GHANA AS A DOMESTIC TOURIST. IT WILL DO YOU GOOD.

The appointments favour the three regions and so it is fine. Ghana's population is about 24million and the combined population of the three northern regions is about 6million. I hope they will use the power to develop the north...infrastructure development, industries (build an oil refinery in Tamale) to provide jobs for the northerners.

Yes ! presi Mahama please develop the north to bring an end to your people working as porters in the south. your term of office will be remmembered if you are able to stop your NDC people from stealing the peoples money and instead use it to develop the north. It seems to me people vote for the NDC for no gains but just to tease Ashantis.

THE EDUCATED PEOPLE WHO HAIL FROM THE NORTHERN GHANA WHO ARE EXPECTED TO FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AREA THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MAKING THE AREA DEVELOP. REASONS:
1.Most of them refuse posting to the area to work.
2. Most of them want to own houses in Kumasi and Accra (Southern Ghana) instead of...
3. They want to enjoy their hard earned monies with Southern girls even behind their marriages.
4. They become proud and arrogant as soon as they experience little riches.
5. Most of them who accept to work in the north are crooks and thieves who steal monies that are meant for development in the area. THey steal from both government and NGOs - Ironically most of them will not even invest the stolen monies in the north BUT prefer to bring the money down south to spend.
6. In the mist of ALL the above, they confuse the illiterate folks - that problems in the north should be blamed on innocent Southerners.
7. Dr. Nkrumah in his wisdom implemented free secondary education in the north using proceeds from cocoa, gold and other natural resources mostly from the south. Osagyefo did this with the aim that these privileged ones will pay the nation back by at least accepting to contribute to rapid development of the north BUT unfortunately these educated ones have become more Southerners than the Southerners themselves.
8.I think a Northerner becoming president of Ghana 'per-say' is not what will make the place develop - I think the privileged individuals MUST ACCEPT the challenge of contributing by way of accepting posting to the place and invest in housing and job creation. Most of us northern guys are in very good positions even most have been in government since Independence.
9. What happened to SADA? We did not even see northerners in political and other responsible positions showing any commitment - They rather decided to 'blow' or 'chop' the monies in gargantuan proportions.
10. Most of us northerners have been voting for NDC over the years because of Rawlings' initiative of extending grid electricity to the north BUT beyond that I think the NPP has also shown more commitment in other areas of infrastructural development in the north mostly through the MCA. Earlier Acheampong, through his agricultural policies had facilitated the construction of the Tolon irrigation which is being under utilized as at now.
11. We can ALL help to make the northern Ghana an enviable place to stay - the place has a vast land that can be developed to become food basket of the nation.
12. MAKING YOURSELF RICH WITHIN A SHORT TIME THROUGH POLITICS IS NOT WAY FORWARD. WE REALLY NEED A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO ADDRESSING THE NORTHERN CHALLENGE - NPP, NDC, CPP, PPP, PNC, NDP, ETC. CAN EQUALLY DO IT - SO I THINK ALL THE TRIBAL SENTIMENTS AND INSULTS MUST STOP.
- GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE JUST KNOCKING OUR HEADS TOGETHER BY DOING TRIBAL POLITICS - UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE JUST DOING THIS FOR SELFISH GAINS.
**** DO NOT BE DECEIVED! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AKANS PARTY OR NORTHERS PARTY IN GHANA - GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE ONLY DOING THIS FOR THEIR SELFISH GAINS - SHAME UNTO ALL THOSE.
WE HAVE ONE GHANA!!!

What is northern origin? If we are talking of regional balance we should bear in mind that in the north there are three distinct regions. It is disheartening when people refer to all the three as one region.
