Nazir, accept my pity for obvious reasons. You could have at least specified in your write-up where you disagreed with the Author.

Your situation reinforces the adage "knowledge is power".
You may not know the difference between Tanko Ali Yahaya and your good self, until it comes to a question of debate.

If I were you, I should have kept my mute in order not expose my ignorance or little knowledge I have about the matter of discourse.

I have to disclose my ethnic identity for you to know where I am coming from in my assertion.
Nazir I am an Anlo, but I mean no offense.

Tanko is never an independent minded but an NPP apologist.At least the ndc is having a northerner as a ruling and seating president which the NPP never contemplated having a northerner as a presidential candidate,not even in the person of the late Aliu Mohammed the then vice president under the Kuffuor administration inspite of the years he acted as the president of Ghana during the long escapades of Kuffuor.The NPP as a true Akan party labeled him incompetent due to his ethnic origin whilst Akuffo Addo who acted in the capacities of attorney general and foreign affairs minister,a failure and flop respectively considering the murder of some Ghanaian nationals in the Gambia and and the missing Ghanaian diplomatic passports coupled with the setting free of some notable NPP women stalwarts-cocain traffickers under the eagle watch and tacit authority of Akuffo Addo.

i am sorry you think public servants should be looters, and lament you did not get your cherry. wait until it catch up with the looters. Freedom of association means every person has the right to choose which ever party satisfy his or her heart. why are you bitter? you don't have to be and with our brother or sister because of his or her party. The parties are vehicles to achieve the public good.

Mr Tanko, you have every right to belong to the Danquah-Busia tradition and to sing their praises but the party has a perception problem with Northerners.

The behavior of this tradition and their actions in the past and present has brought about this attitude Northerners are having about them.

You are comfortable in Kumasi as a Northerner but I wonder if you have taken a tour of your place in the North in the last 10 years and care to find out which of the 2 political traditions your people at home are comfortable with.

Do not write off majority of your people as being manipulated by some one else. They have the faculties of their own. They listen, they see and they observe things.

Northerners do not need sympathy from any one. They want to be treated right and with respect.

This guy is not a Northerner. Being muslim and having Arabic names does not make him a Northerner. He said his grandparents came from outside of Ghana and settled in Kumasi so he was born in Kumasi, grew up in Kumasi and is living in Kumasi so what makes him a Northerner?
He belongs to the UP tradition (that’s OK) and has a problem with the NDC, so his problem is not for the Northerner.

No, but anybody who supports a political party because of some tribal sentiments. I'm saying this because many people in Ghana see elections as a contest of tribes instead of an opportunity to improve their lives.

Mallam Tanko Ali,
Nobody is arguing with you about your knowledge of the zongos in Kumasi but for Allah’s sake DO NOT talk about the North because you know next to nothing about the North. Zongo is for settlers and not for Northerners. There are zongos in Tamale, Salaga, Wa, Bolga and Gambaga. Who live there? You have no attachment, physical, mental or emotional to the North.
Northerners like and vote for NDC (and Rawlings as you claim) because of what the party has done for and to the North.
You began by calling Nkrumah a dictator, do you know that your darling Nana Akufo Addo was an Nkrumaist and that his 2012 campaign message of FREE EDUCATION was stolen from the Nkrumah tradition? If his father had not been president he probably would not have been NPP.
If NDC has done something you, sort that out and spare us some time. I do not stop you from writing but please, please write about something you know, not assumptions.

Nde, you could have helped by telling us the difference between the North and the Zongos apart from the geographical locations. Are the arguments been put out by the writer true or false? Why are you guys deliberately refusing to accept the truth that will set you free. Why does the 3 northern regions remain the poorest in the country after NDC's 25 years in gov't? If they really cared about you, certainly the north could be closer to the south in terms of socio-economic attributes?

Lastly would you not agree that the policies of the NPP benefited the poorest in society as the writer asserted? Look, let's wake up to reality, you guys have been deceived for far too long. Do not be blinded pettiness and propaganda and unwarranted hatred.

please tell us how and where did the NPP policies benefited the poor? The reality we should awaken to is that, all those political parties are nothing but bunch of looters who don't deserve to run even toilet house let alone our beautiful Ghana. Someone would also rebut this paint NPP in the same vein which makes both parties not qualified to run this country. Have you been to eastern region? Western region? and the great Ashanti region? Maybe your definition of poverty is different from the one in English dictionary but I personally think , there is no region in Ghana that is not poor.

Zongolese supporting NDC party is to allow them continue their illegal stay in Ghana. They hated NPP because it was the party that threatened their stay in Ghana and most of them are afraid to go back to Burkina Faso, Togo Benin, Niger and Nigeria where they belong. They support NDC not because it is the best for Ghana but because that serves their myopic interest. If you could remember they supported Acheampong, Liman and P/NDC. They don't believe in any manifesto; they believe only in remaining in Ghana illegally.

MANY OF YOU SPEAKING THIS NONSENSE ARE NO WHERE AS KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN A NORTHENER ON THE AVERAGE.
JUST THIS ALONE: WHEN YOU SAY THE IGNORANCE OF NORTHERNERS... DARKER THAN NIGHT... IT IS CLEARLY AN UNSCIENTIFIC AND PRIMITIVE STATEMENT.
1. HOW MANY NORTHERNERS DO YOU KNOW, 2.HAVE HAD PERSONAL INTERACTIONS WITH,OR...
YES YOU HAVE A MIND AND SO YOU SPEAK YOUR MIND. AND THAT IS JUST ILLOGICAL GENERALIZATIONS FROM ETHNO-EGOCENTRIC DELUSIONS. IT EXPOSES YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND LACK OF CIVILIZATION AS A FIRST-CLASS ANIMAL.
ANYWAY, BUT FOR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, FOOLS SHOULD LISTEN AND NEVER SPEAK.
