Frank, I could not agree with you more. I for one, I personally was uncomfortable with Kofi Awoonor when he was alive, on account of his committed and vigorous anti-Akan and anti-Asante sentiments.

In fact, this hate-filled campaign even found expression in his writing a whole book which was so turbulent that, the then Rawlings-led Ewe-dominated government deemed it fit to immediately ban it from circulation as it was causing a lot of national disaffection.

But now that he has been recalled by his maker, that should end everything. We should leave God to judge him.

Telling It As It Is: The PP/NPP’s Tradition of Tribal Politics

Folks,

Here is the other post from the archives. It should be an eye opener to all those who are claiming that tribal politics started under Rawlings and the PNDC. For others, it should reveal to them the origins of the ethnic foment and ethnic politics in Ghana under the NLC and then under the PP regime. It is that tradition that continues today, with the sympathisers of the NPP with Akan backgrounds being the main culprits.

I wrote the piece in response to Prof. George Ayittey, a major exponent of tribalistic analysis of politics in Africa. He failed to write a response though, since he has none. What I wrote then is still very relevant today and on this forum too. I’ve slightly edited it.

Incidentally, it was this very post Gamal Nkrumah took exception to, as he wrongly thought I was referring to him when I wrote “incestuous Egyptians”. I found out and explained to him that he and present Egyptians were far from my mind, as I was referring to the ancient and real Kemetians. Kofi Ellison, you get this straight, as you’ve been wrongly referring to this from an unknown source who told you I had a clash with Gamal.

Well, this is quite long so I’d leave this with you and for the record.

Villagers,

This is something I can't pass over. As usual, it is designed to inform you all, not to enter into any discussion with Prof. Ayittey. He may however issue rebuttals to what I have written if false, or not entirely correct. After all, I never make claims to holding the monopoly to the elusive truth. I am just a lonely Seeker after the Truth. (To your information, Prof Ayittey had never taken up the challenge to back up his claims with some facts and I burnt him out the last time he repeated them).

At 19:07 03.08.1998 -0400, George B.N.Ayittey wrote:

Andy-K writes in reply:
That ethnic tensions in Ghana are very high, first of all, is an overstatement. Rather, it is high among Ghanaians in the diaspora. Secondly, whatever ethnic tensions are there are not due to Rawlings' doing. Rather, it is the doing of some bankrupt and jaded politicians who have been arousing ethnic hatred against Rawlings mother's ethnic group members, the Ewes, as a political tool to gain power. So far, it has failed resoundingly. In fact, it has backfired so badly the culprits, found mainly in the NPP, which George also belongs to, are now openly writing and saying that they had to reassess their strategy.

The issue is not a "public perception," shared by a majority of Ghanaians. The "perception" is insidiously and virulently promoted by a narrow group of Ghanaians, of whom George indeed is one of them. He clearly and unambiguously promoted this in a mail he posted on Okyeame sometime ago. As to be expected, I took him on and referred him to the English Sociologist, Charles Elliott's book (1975). A great comparative study of poverty and its causes in some "Third World" countries, it presented statistics on the ethnic distribution in different occupations, including the public services in Ghana too. As I told George, the figures show that by 1975, his own ethnic group, the Gas, proportionately have more of their people in higher govt. positions than any other ethnic group in Ghana! I wanted to know whether that has changed since Rawlings assumed office again on 31 Dec., 1981, less than a day to 1982. As to be expected no answer came from him.

Of course, I am aware of newer researches, as that of Richard Jefferies, African Affairs, 92. 331-399:1993, which clearly state that Rawlings has not packed higher offices with Ewes since his second coming to power. (BTW, same accusations were made during his brief first coming of 3 months too). What anyone having the pretensions to being a scholar or an intellectual should do is to read those studies and stop spreading such venomous and virulent lies, which are in fact reminiscent of 1920 and '30s Nazi campaigns against Jews. Or what we Africans get from anti-alien, racist groups and parties in Europe presently. But that is not the way of George. His is abstract empiricism! Just repeat the nonsense ad nauseam without bothering to cross-check!

Anyway, I can recollect that when he posted the same offending post to the Village, he had amended the offending portion about one ethnic group in Ghana dominating to a multiplicity of ethnic groups, thanks to my biting criticism of him (on Okyeame). He left intact that simplistic level of analysis for Nigeria and Kenya, which I also objected to too. Some of you may recollect that post.

What actually is the problem? Is that "perception," (actually it's nothing more than sheer, deep-seated expression of "native prejudice" - my coinage - against Ewes, which stock I belong to), of what they have now dubbed "Ewenisation" a new thing, arising after Rawlings became head of the PNDC? Which PNDC and later NDC Party comprise a cross-section of Ghanaians? Far from it! Indeed, all the political parties in Ghana were represented in the PNDC in its early years, so nobody was excluded. (Interestingly, Kufour, presidential candidate of the NPP, was the rep. for the PFP in the PNDC).

Villagers, it is the confrontation of the source of that native prejudice that recently spilt over into the Village under the title of “Yaa Asantewaa....” We aren't finished yet! So let me take you back just to the late 1960s, not 1900.:-)

From Denis Austin's book, Ghana Observed (1976: 125), Manchester University Press and Africana Publishing Company, we read about the anti-Ewe hysteria prior to the election that brought Dr K.A. Busia's Progress Party to power in 1969. Please bear with my long quote.
******************************
"A surprising and disagreeable novelty of the election was the extraordinary anti-Ewe sentiment that was expressed in conversation with many of those who were against Gbedemah and his party. One can explain this very strong animus not simply by a dislike of Gbedema's reappearance in political life but in relation to events after 1966 coup. Suddenly there were the soldiers and the police, and everyone bust out singing, but when the music died away it was noticed that the NLC was commanded (it seemed) by minorities: Ewe and Ga. When Ankra (a Ga) was moved out, and charges were brought over-hastily by Harlley against the Chief of the Defence Staff, Michael Otu, the evidence to many was overwhelming. It was all an Ewe plot. Soon Ghana would be run for the benefit of an energetic minority, operating first within the armed forces, and now behind Gbedemah. "Appoint an Ewe to a public corporation or to a government department and within a year the entire hierarchy down to the messenger will be Ewe.” So the argument ran.

[MY COMMENTS: As it is still running today, as shown by a piece on the web site of the Ghanaian Chronicle I have posted below - one reason for the ongoing Yaa Asantewaa fracas.].

"And there was always some evidence for it, since the Ewe, deprived of any natural wealth in their barren region, have for many years been energetic in seizing the opportunities of public employment, including positions in the army and police, which wealthier communities (like the Akan) did not wish to occupy. In practice, looking through the list of senior officers in government departments and the public corporations, the evidence is certainly not clear of any Ewe domination: it could hardly be so in view of their number. (MY COMMENT: JUST OVER 13 % OF GHANA'S POP.). But a belief does not, of course have to be true for people to hold it fervently.
Now there is an Akan-dominated government of an Akan-dominated society. Were I to become, by some improbable change of fate, leader of the governing party I would be much less apprehensive of my Ewe opponents in front than of the large and expectant following behind. I would be fearful too of the ambitions of those now excluded from power, remembering the Songs of Innocence that:
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caesar's laurel crown".

Here we end the extended quote!

Wise words indeed! But were the reactionary PP members told then, they would not have paid any heed. After assuming power, after a coup in which some Ewe officers played dominant roles, they set out to dismiss mostly Ewes, some few Gas and others known to be sympathetic to the banned CPP from their posts. They achieved this through the insertion of the first infamous Transitional Provisions in a Constitution of Ghana, attempts to deprive Ewes of their jobs having failed during the latter years of the NLC. This is the backdrop to the struggle Awoonor briefly mentioned in his ‘famous’ book, and for that, he has become an object of insult to all kinds of puny Akan boys and girls with some modicum of literacy. They (PP) did not last even 2 years in office! I can comment deeper on the above quote, since my own father was one key person who gave evidence, and was before then discriminated against after the coup. And there was plenty to tell, since the charges were true. Hope the official, classified documents of the hearing in camera should now be declassified to stop future speculation. I was big enough to know what was happening then, right from the 1966 coup.

My own father, being the most qualified around, was persuaded to forego confirmation for a post he had been acting in for years under the CPP regime (the CPP big-wigs thought only whites could hold the post!), just to allow a Ga to assume it, as Ewes were supposed to be already too many in similar posts! It was indeed a case of jobs for the boys all over again! So there was some sort of Affirmative Action going on to allow newly qualified Akans and others to also assume posts they did not formerly want. I suffered same fate with another Ewe friend too before, in our seeking a simple vacation job in 1976! And to think an Ewe, a father to a dormitory mate in school was in charge of the recruitment! But he explained, and we accepted, that even though far better qualified, they must take some others too, or they'd be hearing complaints again! So they took on 2 Twi-speaking secondary F4 girls while I, a Sixth Former armed with superlative ‘O’ L results and 3 RSA Stage 2 in English, Accounting and Commerce, was turned down! My friend was also an ‘O’L graduate with good grades and teaching part-time in a preparatory school while pursuing the CA then.

Unfortunately, they (PP, now NPP cohorts) have not learned anything from their past folly and are condemned to the political wilderness, raining insults on all and sundry. Most Ghanaians don't trust them any longer.

Anyway, some of us said enough is enough with this ethnic demonisation, while we are not even enjoying the fruits of office. Our region ranks among the lowest on the development ladder, a permanent position of "Number 9" among 10!:-) We gonna respond and do you in proper, exposing you down to your fathers and mentally warped ancestors who passed on to you those kinds of native prejudice; not better than those held by white supremacists we have come to know in our sojourn among white people.

After all, some of us know that white supremacist ideas had origins from ideas held by the incestuous ancient Egyptians about other peoples! They used to call the Greeks barbarians and no Egyptian girl would kiss a Greek ‘cos Greeks eat pork and meat, taboos to Egyptians. The demon in our midst is our own creation! Let us deal with it right from our homes! To UNIFY any people in a meaningful way, some would have to be made to drop their feelings of superiority and prejudices they hold about others within the same group. Period!

I think Rawlings has done enough to remove that image from the eyes of the mass of Ghanaians. In 1966, Kotoka would have been quite unacceptable to most non-Ewe Ghanaians as Head of State. That's why Ankrah was brought out of retirement to be head of the NLC. After all, by 1966, Ewes were just "Ayigbe dzorlor," i.e., "Ayigbe thieves," the pejorative term you Gas had coined for us Ewes, George. And I did not hear crying "you've changed meter band to Number 9," at the sound of Ewe when I was last at home, as was the case in even the early ‘80s. We'd get to the bottom of all this, just wait long enough!

Please find below a "modern" version of the Ewes are dominating us hysteria. Make up your own minds about the import of the purported letter to the "Chronicle."

This write up is totally nonsense.Nothing will change our minds about you, immediatelly you joined this nation the first thing that came into your mind was to overthrow Dr.Nkrumah's government and take power that is a fact.During Rawlings regime you employed the services of the fanti confederacy to rewrite Ghana's history to make NPP unattractive to make you stay in power for ever and ever and promising the fanti confederacy the vice presidency hence they wrote things they themselves have no idea about just to paint NPP black in the eyes of the good people of Ghana forgetting most Ghanaians had their families in the CPP and that they left them with stories of what happened during those days and Nkrumah's legacy so not every one bought your false stories hence NPP has the largest following.

To those of your generation who don't know, this man lived by the sword and therefore died by the sword! he was full of hatred in his heart for Ashantis and Akans in general and together with the rest of the Dzulakofe mafia (Kojo Tsikata, Tatsu Tsikata and the rest) masterminded the killing of prominent Ashantis like Gen. Afrifa etc. It's the long arm of God's justice that has taken him away. Look at where he fell; far away from home. We shed no tears for a quintinessential tribalist like Kofi Awoonor!
AWOONOR STOOD BESIDE RAWLINGS AND SAID THAT THE AIM OF THE REVOLUTION WAS TO TAKE AWAY AKANS INFLUENSE IN GHANA ESPECIALLY THE ASHANTIS HE GREATELY REJOYCED WHEN RAWLINGS SLAUGHTERED TWO HEADS OF STATES AND SENIOR MILITARY OFFICIALS 90% OF WHOM WERE NON EWES
IN ONE OF HIS WRITINGS HE SAID THAT HE WAS AN EWE FIRST BEFORE GHANA.
LET THE LORD JUDGE HIM!
I DO NOT SEEK TO DENIGRATE THE OLD PROFESSOR OF MY OLD UNIVERSITY BUT TO COMMENT ON THIS PARTICULAR STATEMENT OF THE TALKATIVE RAWLINGS,NDC FOUNDER:

JOHN JERRY RAWLINGS candidly makes a most poignant revelation here below thus:

"He said it was those qualities that struck him when he first met the Professor during a visit to the University of Cape Coast in 1982 to address students on the principles behind the December 31 Revolution." ----

By 1982 when he came to the UCC NUGS CONGRESS, Rawlings did not therefore know Kofi Awoonor prior to his second coming to power). I remember Rawlings was not so tribalistic and rather moved with radicals from other tribal groupings; but then all changed when he met the Professor who had identified the impoverishment of his people as caused by non-existent Asante hegemony and even written about it to popular condemnation of most scholars.

I was an undergraduate when J J Rawlings visited Cape Coast University in May 1982, where he met Professor Awoonor (pronounced Anlo or “Awona”). I even recalled with fond memories my question to JJ Rawlings on this occasion thus: “For how long will PNDC be provisional”?:

That time the Revolution had just begun with a cosmopolitan mix of young pretenders from different tribal backgrounds such as King Bosu of Winneba, Ato Austin, Chris Atim, James Quarshie, Akata Pore, Totobi Quakyi, and some few Anlos and Ewes. The Ewe hegemony was not pronounced until the chief secessionist socialist politician, Kofi Awoonor, hankering for political power joined up.

Kofi Awoonor was a former Secretary General of Cape Coast based Action Congress Party led by Colonel Bernasko…BUT there was something he was doing in Cape Coast University that caught my eye: As an English Lecturer in the Teacher’s University, and so desperate for political power, he became the mastermind of radical student political agitation against the ‘status quo ante bellum’ until they won and retained political power in Ghana between 1982 and 2000, and still ruling the country as NDC Government from 2008 to 2013.

Rawlings indeed did not know his nyebro until he was introduced by the socialist league students like Totobi Quakyi and Gardiner who used to rendezvous with him in UCC….and the rest is history that ended in such inexplicable tragic circumstance by radical Al Shabab, a group moulded like the pseudo-Nkrumaist revolutionary ideologues.

In his bungalow at Old Site of Cape Vars, student of the left-wing persuasion such as Totobi Quakyi, Avakame, Joe B, Turkson, Philip Gardiner, EKT Aidoo, Kweku Arhin and many others still in present NDC Government flooded there: They were always in Kofi Awoonor’s bungalow: They looked desperate and anxious for power, and rather than go into the world to work will rather than stay on after graduation in the University campus to agitate for more political power until they got it…. The student movement had leaders who will rather read Communist Books than their own Curriculum Readings…Acdemic bibliographies were jettisoned for hard copy socialist ideological Books and that is why in power they are so bereft of ideas to administer a country…

With radicals as Kofi Awoonor preaching their bile, it added to the spirit of instability in Ghana. Having being caught in coup de tat with his ewe chums of Brigadier Kattah and some evil Anloga power hungry men, they turned their attention to organising caucuses of Student Militant Groups to wage insurrection against the “bourgeoisie”. I used to hear them crying out aloud: "Workers of the World; Unite: You have nothing to lose but your chains". They were all united by one word – POVERTY and therefore HATED the Rich in society. But these people were very poor because of their laziness. They were all stuck in the Ivory Towers not willing to soil their hands by going out to work in the real world after their graduation as they looked at successful men with much envy and jealousy. Kofi Awoonor and Ama Atta Aidoo were doing in University of Cape Coast, what Fui Tsikata, Kwamena Ahwoi, Tsatsu and other left wing political pursuers were doing in University of Ghana in Legon: they gave accommodation to radical students cast in the Nkrumaist/Castro mould to forment trouble in Ghana …It was all glib talking of poisonous nature…preaching for a revolution with no objective of development but equalisation: They were the people who did not want Rawlings and Boakye Djan to hand over power to a Constitutional Civilian Rule with their bellicose and infantile cries of Let the Blood Flow: I had been watching the Student Radicals who had confronted the corrupt Military Regime of Kutu Acheampong and even lost their Secretary Yorke in the famous Car Accident that caused Kofi Totobi Quakyi to limp on.

When I was in Sixth Form in Adisco I used to see these so-called Nkrumaists and student leaderss trooping to Kofi Awoonor’s house in their Che Guevara T Shirts, black berets, faded jeans, Car Tyre sandals of Afro Moses, unkempt and wearing long beards as the present day Taliban. Infact they were the Taliban of the time.

Kofi Awoonor spent all his leisure time with these talkative socialist intelligentsia, feeding them both food and ideology all for his political kingdom…They were the people who joined the Student Task Force right from the onset of the revolution and then introduced their guru to the empty headed J J Rawlings: With his recent experience in 1979 Political Campaign as ACP Secretary, and having written a Book that advocated for secession of the Anlos and Ewes, Professor Kofi Awoonor was sold the perfect person. As Rawlings needed to pursue a bitter envious war against successful men and women of Ghana the meeting with the chief propagator of ethnocentrism was a match made in heaven to redeem their people and take over the top echelons of power and administration.

I saw all these things and sooner than later I will write properly about these things.

Ghana has suffered at the hands of bad people, indeed!...These radicals were the ones who sold Kofi Awoonor to Rawlings in May 1982, when Rawlings came to the August NUGS CONGRESS to inaugurate the new leadership of Amoah Larbi, Hans Djaba, and Dan Botwe etc. who had defeated the socialist brigade of Nazir Brown in UST for the first time. It was in this August Congress and personally saw all the socialist agitators who joined the Revolution to rule the country from 1982 to 2000, including Kofi Adu, Kyeretwie Poku, Obre, Adu Gyamfi (Cotopaxi), Amissah Arthur, Goosie Tanoh, Karl Marx Hamilton (now writing as Margaret Jackson), Atampugre, B B Bayor, Philip Gardiner, Samora Machel Turkson, Oteng Agyei etc.

When Ghanaians were being murdered by the revolution, you never heard a word from these leeches and parasites who have ruled us for most of their personal lives. They all received free education from cradle to manhood but destroyed it for others. They cried out aloud: Let the Blood Flow…Let the Blood Flow…Let the Blood Flow indeed.

The Talibanisation of Ghana under the above named radicals have come to bite the roost…As my Father’s at the coast say in their local parlance “Itur edur bon a; ibi ka woano”! We used to interprete as “If you throw a ball against the wall…it comes back to hit you”. May God touch the hearts of wicked men to repent of their sins before it revisits their next generation!

Tribal Conspiracy At Wesley College

In the November 11, 1997 issue of the "Free Press", Mr. A. Bosompem Boaboduro wrote inter alia:
"That is the reason why a place becomes Ewenized in no time, the moment you put one Ewe there."

In this write-up we intend to prove why and how there has been a conspiracy to subject Ashantis to humiliation, in Wesley College and as a result Ewenize the college. We know that at the end of it all we will be accused of fanning tribalism, but we are sure that whoever reads this article carefully and objectively will sympathise with us, the students of Wesley College and particularly the Ashantis among us.
When a little over two years ago it became necessary for the then Principal of Wesley College, Rev. Kofi Amponsah to retire from the Ghana Education Service, it became necessary for the Methodist Church to recommend somebody to replace him.
Also in 1984 when Rev. Brew-Riverson left the college as principal, two people, Rev. Kofi Amponsah and Rev. M. O. Antwi vied for the post of principal of the college. Rev. Kofi Amponsah eventually got the post and Rev. M. O. Antwi was appointed General Manager of Methodist Schools. Now as General Manager, Rev. M. O. Antwi became the Appointing Officer when Rev. Amponsah was to be replaced as the principal of the college in 1996.
It was at this stage that the conspiracy began. Apparently Rev. M. O. Antwi was peeved because in 1984 an Ashanti was appointed to the post of principal of the college, now that he was the Appointing Officer, he decided to "show" Ashantis, who he had thought, manouvred to side-step him in favour of Rev. Amponsah.
It is pertinent to note that even though in June 1996, a date was fixed for an interview to select a principal for the college, long before the interview many people in GES circles knew that Rev. Ametefe would be the principal of the college. This, the General Manager was capable of doing, because as the Appointing Officer, he was in a position to advise whatever panel conducted the interview on whom to appoint. So eventually Rev. Ametefe got the post after a farce of an interview had been conducted.
Now after Rev. Ametefe had got the post of principal, the scene was set to "show" the Ashantis. In less than two years as Principal of Wesley College, Rev. Ametefe's administration has been so fraught with tribalism and mal-administration that if nothing is done about the situation, Wesley College will lose its glory as one of the best training colleges in Ghana.
Now let me enumerate a few examples of tribalism and poor administration under Rev Ametepe. A few months after taking over the administration of the college, he declared that he could not work any more with the domestic bursar, her assistant, the college store-keeper, all Ashantis. Although, he could not assign any tangible reason for this action, he put so much pressure on the regional office that the two women were transferred from the college. Our information is that he wanted to replace those transferred with Ewes but he apparently met resistance somewhere.
In furtherance of his plan to Ewenize the administrative set-up of the college, Rev. Ametefe has made the college librarian (an Ewe), Gershon Tsadidey, virtually a vice-principal of the college. All construction works are under his care.
Obviously all these are creating tension in the college, and certainly if nothing is done about this, there will soon be an explosion on campus.
We plead with the GES Directorate in Ashanti and opinion leaders in the region to do something about it. We warn that this should not be interpreted as merely crying wolf or making false allegations. Whoever doubts what we have said can conduct his own investigations to find out the truth.

-----------END OF FORWARDED POST-------------------------

Now, how can appointing a principal to a school in Ghana be the concern of some students; not even old students? BTW, the Rev. Antwi is most likely an Akan too, as “Antwi” is a common Akan name, though there are some Ewes of Akan origins with Akan names. And there is a whole bunch of an Ewe sub-group with Ga-Fanti origins marrying with Ewes, the so-called Mina-Ewes centred around southern Togo Republic and Benin. Ewes are thus people of mixed linguistic origins, not any single tribal group from the past. Our eventual homeland became the so-called Slave Coast, as some of you surely know already. But that is quite another story, even though it is much a part of the reason for the formation of what I've dubbed "native prejudice" against us by non-Ewe Ghanaians.

How come his biography was never read but rather his adulterated poems? Who was his father and where did he come from. For such a person, one thing to boast of should have been his genealogy. Why are we not told anything about that? Is it true that he is a Serra Leonean and his mother is an Anlo just like his mentor and savior Kwasi Yevu who no longer was in good talking terms with him before he died?

Why do you want to know? His father was a renowned Gold Coast surveyor. He re-designed Anloga in the early 1910s into the only planned traditional town in Ghana with wide roads b/n houses after the great fire that consumed the town.

Of course, he has Sa Leonean background just like so many other Ghanaians with different backgrounds, in and outside Ghana. Do your DNA and you'd surprised where your forebears came from!

You talking about trans-volta togoland in 1910s, there was no Ghana .Nine regions excluding your area was Gold Coast but people from other countries and areas were working in the Gold Coast during that time, it was untill 1956 when there was a plebiscite either the trans -volta togoland joined Togoland or Ghana and they voted and chose to join Ghana so don't make it look like you were part of Gold Coast which is now Ghana.

JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA ALWAYS TALKS FROM HIS ANUS, RATHER THAN HIS MOUTH.

GHANAIANS ARE PAYING DEARLY FOR UTILITIES AT EXPLOITATIVE TARIFFS.

GHANAIANS ARE PAYING EXPLOITATIVELY HIGH FUEL PRICES.

GHANAIANS ARE PAYING KILLER IMPORT AND RELATED DUTIES.

ARE THESE WHAT THIS WICKED, USELESS PRESIDENT MAHAMA CALLS "BETTER GHANA AGENDA"?

THIS PEPENI PRESIDENT IS INDEED VERY CALLOUS AND INSENSITIVE TO THE PLIGHT AND SUFFERING HE SEES ON A DAILY BASIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CALLED GHANA, PARTICULARLY IN HIS NATIVE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA.

MAHAMA WILL DIE A MORE PAINFUL DEATH THAN ATTA-MILLS DID!

MARK MY WORDS!! THAT'S CALLED NEMESIS!

ATTA-MILLS LIED TO GHANAIANS, USING THE NAME OF GOD, TO GET THE GHANAIAN VOTE.

HE (MILLS) PAID BACK DEARLY FOR THOSE LIES.

ATTA-MILLS, AGAIN, LIED TO GHANAIANS THAT IF HE BECAME PRESIDENT OF GHANA, HE'LL WIPE OUT CORRUPTION IN GHANA AND PUNISH ALL THOSE KNOWN TO HAVE PILLAGED GHANA'S TREASURY AND "ECOMINI".

WHAT DID GHANAIANS SEE?

ATTA-MILLS STARTED TO WINE AND DINE WITH THE VERY CRIMINALS LIKE RAWLINGS & HIS CORRUPT NDC GUYS/WIFE, AS WELL AS CROOK KUFUOR PLUS HIS CORRUPT NPP GUYS.

THESE ARE THE VERY CRIMINALS GHANAIANS EXPECTED ATTA-MILLS TO PUNISH AND CONFISCATE THEIR STOLEN ASSETS FOR OUR ECONONY TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER SUSTAINABLY.

MILLS RATHER STARTED TO WINE AND DINE WITH THESE CROOKS AS SOON AS HE GOT WHAT HE DESPERATELY WANTED FROM GHANAIAN VOTERS - PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA.

IT'S SHOCKING THAT MAHAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE COMMONSENSE AND WILL TO LEARN FROM THAT BITTER EXPERIENCE OF "ATADWE" MILLS.

He had it all! What could he be envious of? What does you Akans or Asantes have Awoonor could have been envious of? For heaven's sake, the man was a scion of a William, one of the richest, accomplished and far-flung families in West Africa! His father was already a renowned surveyor when he was a child.

Himself? He made himself into a world renowned person, celebrated all over the world. And he should be envious of you Akans? For what? Why not envious of the Japaneses, the Swiss, the British, the Americans or even Zulus??? I can NEVER be envious of any uncivilised Ghanaian, oh! sorry, "developing people," particularly the Akans, Asantes inclusive! I don't even want to return to Ghana anymore cos the people there are too backward for me to handle and I get irritated so much when I make my occasional trips to Ghana.

If you want to know who are the evil, bigoted and envious people in Ghana, then know that they are the ones who tire us with incessant claims of Ewes having all the top posts in Ghana, all the scholarships during Rawlings time in power, all of Mills Ministers being Ewes, the security forces being dominated by Ewes! That's what is called GREEN ENVY! Choke on your own bitter bile, you scums of the earth! Who need white racists when one has fucking, ugly, black jingoists breathing down ones neck in ones own homeland on a daily basis???

After all so called riches in your eyes he couldn't dress as somebody who was sophisticated.Why would he envy Akans/Ashantis? Of all his so called riches which nobody knew in Ghana he was envious of Ashantis /Akans dominating the economy that was what he said of all his so called riches he saw to it that Tata brewery was confiscated, of all his so called riches he saw to it that the late Dr. Safo Adu's industry was brought down of all hid do called riches he saw to it that BA Mensah's businesses were brought down I can go on, and on and you defend such a person, did I hear you said his father designed where? Anloga to be chicago in Ghana hahahaha funny.Eiiiiiiiiiih you people koraa what at all are you looking for in Ghana?Who are you competing with? And are you sure you can match them? We don't need to join any security force to be rich, we just want to know who are in our security forces, are they loyal to the country or they have their own agenda? That is a worry to every country. Before it was the Gas, North and the akans who were majority in our security services but now it is not so.Do you mean we don't have to talk about that?

Akadu, you and the lot insulting the memory of Kofi Awoonor are just scums and nonentities compared to Kofi Awoonor. Hiding behind your monikers to spew garbage makes you even cowards compared to Awoonor and the likes of myself who are ready to defend whatever we write here at any public forum in Ghana one day.

Kofi Awoonor DID NOT HATE AKANS NOR ASANTES, for that matter. He simply denounced the envious attacks on Ewes, their hounding, demonisation and sacking from their jobs by some Akans, particularly Akans from within the Asante stock, which of course, included the present B/A, after the 1966 coup. The evidence for why he wrote what he wrote is there for all of you to see, since you're too small to observe it when it was happening. Some of us were then old enough and close to the powers-that-be to know what was happening. Yes, how several of our relations lost their jobs when Busia took over from the NLC, ruining their lives. I've posted some excerpts several times but since you are dishonest and intellectually bankrupt people, you can't deal with the facts! But don't worry, we stuff it up your throats! Scums!
