It's very easy to live in ones own thinking. If you think Ayikoi is wrong just continue ignoring the voices of non-Akans and you'll only get Akan votes.

WHERE ARE THE NON-AKAN NPP MEMBERS ? LET THEM COME OUT AND DEFEND THEIR PARTY. DO THEY SECRETLY AGREE WITH AYIKOI OTOO? WHERE ARE THEY? LET THEM DEFEND THEIR PARTY.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR AKANS TO ATTACK AYIKOI. IT IS TIME FOR THE NON-AKANS TO TELL AYIKOI THAT HE HAS NO POINT. NON-AKAN NPP MEMBERS, PLS SPEAK OUT !

When the non-aligned in this tribal/clan divide speaks, they are treated with disdain just as what the so called Phd Ahoofe has written. If Ayikoi-Otoo requested for a recount of votes in his parliamentary election is it a crime. The Phd graduate didn't see anything wrong with his tribe man wasting 8 months of SC and the nation's time. Tetteh, think again.

1. The non-Akans in the party are not coming out to defend Ayikoi because they are afraid of meeting the same fate as Ayikoe - castigation at the hands of the Akans if they talk out

or

2. There are not even many prominent non-Akans in the party to talk out

or

3. It is the Akans who are now castigating Ayikoi because either
a. the party is full of Akans who are the only ones who talk, or
b. they are afraid that what Ayikoi is saying is true and they must defend themselves by attacking the one raising the accusations.

Take your pick!

No matter which one you take, this is just partisan crap by people keen on coming to power to satisfy their selfish needs. There are no selfless politicians left in Ghana. They all died with Nkrumah!

Folks,
As you can see, they are still at it, the T-mongers! By their words, we shall know them!

As an Ewe, as you all know of course, I have said no to this kind of
demonisation. I have renounced the "si kpi kpowo" (don't mind them)
mentality which our elders brought us up with, and is out to confront bare hands, if need be, all who think they have grievances against Ewes.

That this should be happening within a church organisation is even more pathetic.

> 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 principle 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.

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

Now, how can appointing a principal to a school in Ghana be the concern of some 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 Ewes sub-group with Ga-Fanti origins marrying with Ewes, the so-called Mina-Ewes centred around southern Togo Republic. 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.

Everyone knows that there is an Asante-Akyem rift in the Party. Many believe that you and your cousin, Gabby are the head of Akyem Mafia in the NPP.

You seem not to understand Asante/Akyem divide in the NPP or you are in denial. It is not about how many votes NPP presidential candidate will get from the Asantes or not. It is more about the idiocy that permeates and persists in the NPP leadership.

We are expecting the Akyem Mafia to support Bawumia to nullify Kyeremateng's Asante-Mafia plans. Can you be counted or you are still pushing the "deadman walking" around? Tell Nana to quit politics to become a stateman.

You are so right. The Professor is in denial. This is because he knows any widespread belief in the existence of these factions will further erode Akufo-Addo's attraction to the electorate and so, he has to help soothe the worried followers to get them stick with Nana.

More, the Prof., I believe, is trying to deny the factionalism could cause any loss of votes to the NPP because he personally contributed to the vexation of the Asante faction by attacking both the former President Kufuor and the Otumfuor on various occasions. The Prof. ostensibly doesn't want to bear the secret guilt of having hurt his favorite candidate's chances.

Instead of admitting such guilt and seriously taking up the difficult task of mending the trust he helped shutter, he keeps acting like no such problem exists in the first place to even consider addressing it.

Well, let's wait and see.

Long live Ghana!!!

He is a lowly educated political scam-artist. His PHD is worthless. The only reason he wears it around his neck is to intimidate his equally worthless Ashanti-Akyem imbeciles who believe "abom"/"ampesi" degrees are worth something. Ahoofe is a classic case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Like a typical scam artist, he oftentimes comess to believein his bullshit. He preens and struts to cover up his hollow and deformed arguments. He's an archetype of all the faux scholars who have brought the country to its knees. Can anyone seriously look at him and his lot and believe they care about the average poor in Ghana? This dolts and his ilk are swimming the fantasy lake of elitism. Make no mistake, these people will send people to jail for resisting their plundering of the state.

The man says, I am non Akan and 'I feel alienated' and you say 'you can not feel alienated'. A man has no control over his feelings. Try to empathize with the person. You say he can go to hell after all you will win with Asante/ Akyem vote. Good luck. It may not be true but you should rather be assuring him not mocking at him.

Is hardly a new phenomenon! Remember the pre-independence and post-independence elections where your 'granfather', the late JB Danquah,the much-acclaimed native son of the Akyem Abuakwa, failed miserably to carry the votes of his his own kinsmen? Why did you allow Nana to 'waste' money on hired American election consultants, when you have the 'winning strategy'in your hip pocket? Little wonder that Nana alledgedly snubbed you at a social/poltical event in NY some years back!

The thinkings of Okoampa-Ahoofe and his likes will keep the NPP in perpetual opposition. I have said it.
