    Somebody tell that story to Logba Tota Kosi Edem (if he is still alive). Here was a stupid man who served in Ghana's Parliament for 12 years and turned around to send several stupid letters to the British and German Embassies ...

    no Kosi Edem ever represented any part of Volta Region since 1992.

    If you are talking about the honourable Kosi KEDEM, then you must make this clear.

    If indeed he "sent out letters to foreign bodies" he must have been ...

    If there was to be a review after 50 years, then there should have been a widespread wish for that in 2006 and the citizens of the erstwhile TVT (who are all Ghanaians today), would have been asked to vote in another plebisci ...

    Hello Sani

    I admire your clean language.

    Where could the "widespread wish for that in 2006" start from?

    When I heard of this news, I traveled to Ghana, to my home village, then to Ho to require reference material. ...

    I was in Gh last year and visited Ho. I saw the efforts that are been made by Togbe Afede. Ho has really changed and transformed. Thanks to the NPP, NDC, and the visionary leadership of the current Ho king. I realized that th ...

    Ha! ba! So you guys can only respond to this piece with secession talk, and nothing else?:-)

    OK. Any one of you aware of the activities of one Captain Brook to liberate the former TVT from the Ghana yoke of imperialistic ...

    No mention of the most basic infrastructure upon which all living things thrive. When are we going to think or talk seriously of expanding water supply to every community in the region to enhance life and economic developmen ...

    Your explanation is more than insightful. I always think we need to relook at Trans-Volta union with Gold Coast.

  • BRUTUS 11 years ago

    Wishful thinking. Your so-called Volta Fund has not achieved anything.

  • GHANAVIA 11 years ago

    Kufuor, Appiah-Danquah you call your good self.

    Do you think all Voltarians are as DUMB as yourself?

    What are you up to?
    Do you want to sell the Volta region for non-existent projects?

    I demand that you publish the ...

    First of all, I'd like to say thanks to the writer for taking the trouble to focus attention on his work as Board Member of the VORDA. I hardly knew what they are up to and what they have achieved so far, despite belonging to ...

    I think the writer knows the "correct" word - "morkporkpor". The mistake in the title may be due to the webmaster. The titles are the only things he reads in the articles. He doesn't correct them but often makes a mistake wit ...

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 11 years ago

    I'd agree with you that he knows that it is "morkporkpor" but that doesn't mean he spelt them correctly in both cases. BTW, the 2nd one was also misspelt as "morkporkor". Take a look.

    I don't think you therefore have to bl ...

  • Akadu Mensema 11 years ago

    This project was started by the Tsikatas and Awonoors and of the AFRC/PNDC eras. In the end, they could not even build a one-foot road, or bore-wells, and the Keta Sea Wall just became a metaphor of political erosion. It seem ...

    Kola, most regions in Ghana, especially those hugely populated by Akans have seen some meagre development not because any Government in Ghana (with the exception of Kwame Nkrumah for development projects in Greater Accra), bu ...

    I stand to be corrected in my sleepy mood:

    Hoowever - should be however
    governmen - should be government
    goverernment - should be government

  • Kwame 11 years ago

    Ewes are even ashamed to identify themselves with the region. This fool called Kola calls himself T'adi boy. He will tell you that he is from Takoradi and not Ho.

    Here we are. What is the problem? That we are not developing the VR? Is it only that. Hakuna matata. Sooner than later our Trokosi VR will develop. But development is relative so also is poverty. Let us use the UN defintion o ...

    Yes, using UN definition of poverty and development, most of will be considered to be poor, but my question is where are the educated Ewes? I know too many who are very wealthy but will never build in their home land or retir ...

    Why are some of you people so quick to make reference to Trokosi, creating the impression that all Ewes subscribed to it and that it's the only and worst cultural practice in the country when of course it;s public knowledge t ...

    THE DURATION OF THOSE AKAN GOVERNMENTS THAT YOU MENTIONED, IF PUT TOGETHER, IS FAR FAR LESSER THAN YOUR MENTOR JJ RAWLINS. PLSE STOP BLAMING ANYBODY,BUT YOUR OWN.

  • Kwami Bright 11 years ago

    Yes, you are right. They neglected the VR and either took away or attempted to take away development projects brought to the region by othera. Egs., NPP criminalised the Quality Grain Project but were about to take the machin ...

    What is the nonsense about equating Ewes to Voltarians and making that sweeping statement about them? The VR comprise people from several ethnic and linguistic groups as indigenes, not settlers; perhaps, more than any other r ...

    Kwaku, u are very right. Very selfish and vindictive leaders.

  • Kwami Bright 11 years ago

    lS IT NOT MORE CORRECT TO SAY VOLTAIANS THAN VOLTARIANS? Someone might have wrongly coined that word and many of us are just copying them without seriously thinking about it.
