    both have a good charater of doing things the right and straight way, so it will be like two pastors fighting for salvation by God.

    As a full fledged NDC member,I would have skipped this article by calling it NPP's internal warfare but for inexplicable reasons I saw myself hanging on to it till the end and i could not agree more with the writer.

    BJ i am clear what you mean by he is not witty. If witty means what it mean in the dictionary(knowledge or clever) then i ask you how did he get his doctorate degree which earned him an enviable position as a former deputy Ba ...

    How do you know BJ means Dr. Bawumia?

  • jumbo 11 years ago

    The subject and its contents is about Dr Bawumia

  • Don Blunt 11 years ago

    In any case, we hope he accepts the challenge to lead NPP in 2016.
    But the question is whether Ghanaians know how valuable such a man is?
    Don't forget, some Ghanaian who are not even in the position to offer their own chi ...

    should read, BJ, I am not clear......

    I ommited "not" between I am and clear. The error is deeply regreted.

  • John 11 years ago

    I hope the NPP will heed your wise words else they may be in opposition for a long long time.

  • Menua Kwadwo 11 years ago

    The NPP, by Democratic principles, always ELECT their leaders and NOT SELECTED. The vice-president is SELECTED by the ELECTED leader.Get the different ways of how things are done in NPP; nobody is selected on their tribal aff ...

    Kwadwo,you are very correct with regard to election of leaders in the NPP but you will also agree with me that,apart from political "correctness" strategy is also key in the survival of any organization.

    One such strategis ...

  • Menua Kwadwo 11 years ago

    In the case of vice- president Aliu, even his own constituency did not vote for him in the flag-bearership race, so people should stop bringing tribalism into the affairs of NPP.

    Your piece has completely overlooked women with class. I am not talking about opportunistic women though.

  • Pumpuni 11 years ago

    "On the other hand non-Akans like Nkrumah (Nzema)..."

  • Afi 11 years ago

    Pumpuni, please get your facts right! Nzemas are also akans.

  • Kwesi Armah 11 years ago

    Nzemas are one of the early Akan kingdoms, following Bono Manso, (today's Takyiman) kingdom.

    Also, UGCC was not an Akan political political or movement. They comprised Fante, Ahanta, Akyem Abuakwa, Akwapim, Ewe, Ga and Nze ...

  • Kwame Addo 11 years ago

    Thank you, Kwesi. It was Major Afrifa who, after eliminating Gen. Ankra from the scene, that handed over the 1969 hoax election to Busia.

    In fact, had the CPP not been banned, it would won the 1969 election, period.

    FOOLISH ARTICLE.U DONT EVEN KNOW YOUR SHITS. FANTE AND NZEMA ARE ALL AKAN TRIBES. NDC FOOLISH MAN

    NZEMAS ARE GUANS, NOT FANTES.

  • Kwesi Armah 11 years ago

    You are a BIG fool for arrogantly displaying your ignorance of Akan kingdoms. Nzema and Bono are kin, both linguistically and historically. Kwame Nkrumah and Kofi Abrifa Busia, for instance, hailed from the same royal house i ...

    With Bawumia's contributions and lack of wisdom in promoting peace in the country, he will seriously lose any presidential election he will contest in GHANA. NPP must better look for someone better and well equiped with inter ...

    Akuffo Addo will lose his frivilous case at the SC and he will appeal the verdict, drag the foolish case on till the mid 2015 to deny anyone in the NPP the chance to challenge him. Akuffo Addo and Obestebi Lamptey planned thi ...

  • WHO DARES WIN 11 years ago

    This is what he is fighting. To fool the people of NPP so he can stand as a presidential candidate for them in the 2016 elections. This man called Akuffo-Addo thinks he is smart, but he is not.

  • Nana Yaw 11 years ago

    The opposition leader is Sierra Leone used the same dirty tactics 5 years ago to impose himself on the party's ticket to prevent any challenge from within. He lost again last year. The issue is about power, ego and campaign m ...

    It is not just presenting a non Akan but a real makeover. It has to be by recognition that accross the country there are talents and resources that can be tapped. Further more that the labourers who worked on their fathers co ...

    Thanks for your trenchant response to Kwabena Mensah's incomplete diagnosis of the NPP's problems. You are absolutely right. The NPP's congenital flaws are twin: ethnic chauvinism AND class narcissism. The question is whether ...

    the greatestistake Kuffuor made was not throwing his support behind Aliu. This time around, npp must realize that the party is for all Ghanaians. Bawumia must run unchallenged.

  • KAMM,MINNESOTA U.S.A 11 years ago

    Belliant article by all standard. Will qualify for PhD in Ghana's Geo-Akan dominated politics. Bravo, man.

    These are the articles to read. YOU REALLY EDUCATED AND INFORM, EASILY PROVOKING COMMON SENSE.Bravo.

    over my dead body, Bawumia can never be a presidential candidate for npp

  • Katakyie 11 years ago

    My friend, get your facts right. Who told you Nzema are not Akans? Who told you Nkrumah was not an Akan? Again, who told you Arkaah was Nzema? Arkaah was from the Central Region, a true Fante. Do your research well before you ...

    Yes, the author should research before mis-educating people. His write-up of full of mischaracterization and misrepresentation.

    Tradition goes on.

  • Diaspora man 11 years ago

    It will never happen. Just listen to the insults heaped on northerners in Kumasi right now. People in the NPP are still in their own myopic world of exaggerated self importance

  • Left Critic 11 years ago

    It is sad, very sad isn't it? To be fair, it's not just people in Kumasi who pour scorn on northerners and call them derogatory names. Are these homeland racists (for that's what they are) aware that they do to northerners ex ...

    What you've stated will no doubt be very unpalatable to the ears of many Akan nationalists but nevertheless may represent the only way the NPP could swing enough votes to carry the next election. Northerners, Ewes, Gas and ma ...

    The NPP will never choose a northerner to be it's presidential candidate. Even Dr. Busia who was an Akan (Bono) had problems with these Ashanti/Akyem people. It was said that Victor Owusu heaped insults on Dr.Busia saying tha ...

  • Yaw B 11 years ago

    Kwasea, if we are to believe your stupid story, why did Busia make Victor Owusu his Foreign Affairs Minister? It is the likes of you who make Asantes feel superior because you speak as if Asantes have some superficial powers.

  • JEFF 11 years ago

    NPP IS GLOBALLY RECOGNISED AS A TRIBAL PARTY FOR ASANTES AND AKYEMS.
    UNTIL THE NPP SHEDS ITS TRIBAL COLOURS, THEY(NPP) WILL NEVER WIN AN ELECTION IN GHANA.

  • Yaw B 11 years ago

    How many times have elections been conducted in Ghana? If Mills had not died the NDC would never had presented a northerner as candidate and you fools should be smart enough to know it.

  • Rita 11 years ago

    I can bet my blood on this article and say that it was either Dr. Bawumia who wrote the article or a close family member. But the fact still remains that we in the NPP will never allow a former slave (Odonko)to be our Preside ...

    I am very sure that the writer of the article is a strong NPP. If that is the case, why is he talking of Mahama/Bawumia in 2016? Are the NPP not in court for Nana to become President in 2013? Maybe the writer is sending s str ...

    How can this "opepenie-tanie" Bawumia lead this noble party of royals?

    I hope you relish being called a stupid nigger next time you encounter an anti-black racist. But you are probably too moronic to recognize the irony.
