To tell the truth, Akans and their Akan party are like Hitler or Hutus of Ruwanda. But the difference here is that, they are scared of other Ghanaian tribes. Because they are people who are too weak but strong in evil and corrupt and showing their hate to other tribes. I remember when Kwame Nkrumah was trying to educate them about love and equality, they were bussy seeing white people to do all what they can for their UGCP to win the election in Ghana just to come and swallow all Ghanaians. The vision of that time is what NPP are trying to champion in this Ghana of today. They even practiced it during 2000-2008 but yet their couldn`t avail. The hate they have for the rest of Ghanaians, made them to split and get into other parties so that, whoever wins will at least go in their favour. As a results of that, they are found of corrupt in whatever party they join. Even though it sound as if they are in different party with different vision, in reality they are still Akans with hate and hitler like action or Hutus of Ruwanda.

Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

The reality is all tribes are disrespected by others one way or the other. However Northners are mostly disrespected by all tribes whiles Ewes are usually "disliked" by Akans especially Asantes.

Asantes among the Akans on the other hand are also mostly disliked by other tribes surprisingly including some other Akan groups.

The sad part is whether we like it or not we shall continue to live together as one so the sooner we let go of all these nonsense and find a lasting solution to our problems the better it would be for us all.

No need to ask such a question. Ewes marry Asantes, Asantes marry Ewes what again? It's only the hopeless once feel big because much gold in the soil and they the same people took it to sell elsewhere. One thing about some, they are kind, but proud for nothing. The Ewes and Notherners are people who are honest so they are not liked by some of the Akan's.

how do u know? I am an asante and I do not dislike ewes. Let me remind you that a lot of asantes also have ewe blood in them. Ewes have been living in the region for a long time,and even My great great grandfather was an Ewe. So for you to sit back behind your pc and to make such a stupid statement goes beyond stupidity. So your assertions are false.Have you ever visited the asante region??? there are ewes living happily there, some are even marrying the natives of the region. Many of the natives there have gone as far as given their lands for many "ewe" settlers to farm. If you consider that to be hateful then you must be sick in the head. So to hell with the notion that asantes hate ewes. The only thing asantes hate from the volta region is "Rawlings." He is despised by majority of the people there because of what occurred during his reign. Apart from Rawlings, there is really nothing for the asantes to hate.

anywhere you go in this world, even between towns there may be some kind of look down on each other. the most important thing is at the end how do we treat each other. what ghanians forget to realise is that we have inter-married to the point that right now, if you go to a place like ashanti region, I can bet you that there is not a single home in the region that doesn't have a relative from other tribe. I am not sure about how it is in the other tribes though. therefore it is time Ghanaians come together and shame those stupid politicians who continues to sow seeds of hatred among us. else it will be better for the country to break up on tribal lines. because I am afraid what awaits the country if we are not careful.

The Jews look down on the gentiles. The German gentiles looked down on Jews so much so that they almost eliminated them from the surface of the earth.

Ashantis call Northeners,Ntafuor. Northeners call Ashantis,kabongas.

Fantis think Ashantis are "habeemufo" and Ashantis believe Fantis are "Magyatus.

Most Ghanaians say that God cannot be a Nigerian, whatever they mean by that and Nigerians think Ghanaians are "six million magicians. The whiteman thinks the Ghanaian is a beggar and the Ghanaian thinks the whiteman is so stupid you tell him any lie and he believes you.

So, Dr Nkrumah, please come again. Hatred seems to be a disease that we all must try and exorcise from within us. Dr Nkrumah cannot blame Ashantis alone for looking down on any other group.

Look at your grammar! Big fool who doesnt know the difference between personal (they) and possessive adjective (their). Mixing present and past tenses together. No one hate northerners. Did you see Limann administration? Compare it with Mahama. Northerners cant rule Ghana properly and they themselves know that. Why the north didnt help Edward Mahama to cross 10% of popular votes in previous elections when he was a presidential candidate of PNC? They(north,Upper.E&U.West) constitute about 15% of population in the country. Was Ayeriga able to secure 1% vote from the north in the part election? Next time think before you write your illiterate comments. Rawlings spend 19years as head of state. Was he able to send the country to lower middle income? What Kufour sat down and saw in 8 years, Rawlings stood up for 19 (useless) years and could not see. The Asantes are not COWARDS as you may think but we always think about tomorrow. Take a good look at Asante Region and compare with other regions then you will see the differences. Asante(Akan) is the HUB of Ghana. You may deny it but that is the reality. They are not TRIBALISTIC PEOPLE. Otherwise Awonaga,Moshi Zongo and Aboabo would not be in Kumasi. Ndc nkwasea fo .I rest my pen.

Thank you Shamu. I don't know what to do without you. How could you be so clinically right? But I tell you Shamu, you still forgot one thing and I am not happy with that. You see Shamu, you were hundred percent right when you said that the Akans compromise in evil yet really weak to face other Ghanaians tribes. Evil deeds indeed make them to disagree with anything that has to do with unity. Mention the evil slave trade and you get the Akans. Talk about the evil Galamsey and they are already there. This is why I like you too much to educate some of these too known folks with some Ghanaian history. Thank you very much Shamu; and, may your presence always be felt on the Ghanaweb.

Hi Mr Shamu,
That is how you see the Akans. Look at how I see the Northerner and the EWES. They are juju worshippers who do not believe in God. Somebody told me that they will sell all that they have in order to have power, hence that is why they put their vote on the NDC government. But listen God is King and all those who worship God, things work well in their favor. Let me tell you this. Even if all Akans go to live in the north and the volta region and the ewes and the northerners come to live in the Akan lands, the situation will be the same. Because s3 wo guare oprako se den ara obesan akoda atekye mu. Akan is not the problem but the jujuism is what is causing the ewes and the northerners a fortune. They can be presidents, ministers, parimentarians, lawyers and you name it, but I tell you that if God did not make you Asafohene nobody will ever serve you, as it was in the case of JJ Rawlings who is the father of evil who bred tribalism in Ghana. The Government of Ghana used the proceeds of cocoa grown by the Akans to educate the northerners. When they- the northerners got on top of the world they are blaming the Akans. That is how they payback the Akans. The Akans did not force the northerners to carry their toilet, but it was the northerners who decided to do so. When the northerners, stopped carrying the toilet, the Akans are using water clossets. Ghanaians love Ghanaians, but the problem is those of you who draw the line for the prevalence of tribalism.

I wonder which university awarded this boy his Phd? Not even an SHS student will come out with this nonsensical analysis. Should the NPP offer the position of a presidential flag bearer just because he's an ewe or a northerner, without looking at the persons ability and capability? Who told him an ewe will ever become a presidential candidate either for the NDC or NPP? It is something that they can only dream about but, will never happen ever again in Ghana unless they do what they know best that is staging a coup which will lead to the decimation of the entire ewes including those living in Togo.

NPP thinks they are too smart, when you remove a Ga man (Obetsebi Lamptey) and you put in a Northerner that does not mean anything. For God sake why will a vice president for 8 good years who did a very clean job be sidelined because of where he came from? what they did to Aliu Mahama is the clear indication that NPP is just and tribal club. Afoko is a cover up Chairman, he will be handicapped.

great comments. These politicians are really killing us. It is sad that most of these folks in here fall for their traps. Every group in Ghana looks down on the other. That is plain fact whether we like it or not. However, if we are to move forward as a nation, we shouldnt politicize the issue. Another fact is that every group in Ghana feel marginalized whether it be the asantes, ewes, Ga,etc... and we are all vulnerable to the sweet talks of these demons AKA politicians. So dont be fooled guys because we are all the same. Asantes do not hate Ewes, they just despise Rawlings. Asantes do not hate Northerners. If they hated these people, Northerners and Ewes wouldn't be moving to Kumasi and enjoying the hospitality of the region. Besides there is a large percentage of asantes that are either half ewe or northerner. Only the blind and ignorant will come out and say otherwise.

'You hypocrite! We have been vice presidents for far too long, it is time you make one of your own president'- John Mahama. What do you think this is? If you are of sound mind, this comment by mahama will check you, because we have a serious problem in Ghana. I wonder what extraordinary contribution any sensible Journalist expects from Sekou Nkrumah on this subject; and what these so called journalists want to do to the unity of our country. Shame unto you AMASA NAMOALE (also known on the web as BBC NEWS!!!!!) YOU ARE A PARLIAMENTARIAN, but your behavior is undesirable. YOU MUST STOP TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION, TRIBAL POLITICS and the propagation of HATRED. How much time do you spend thinking about those who send you to PARLIAMENT? Anybody who propagate TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION and POLITICS like you are doing is NOT A GOOD CITIZEN. You don't therefore deserve to be in PARLIAMENT. You realize I'm criticizing you without mentioning the PARTY YOU BELONG, because that is not necessary. Correcting your BAD BEHAVOIR is more important. Let all well meaning people of GHANA condemn the action of this individual until he reforms. (MANDWALOR TAMOR BO!) LONG LIVE GHANA.

This boy should know that it was a plea from the northerners to the Queen of England that gave them free education and not an idea from nkrumah! If nkrumah respected ewes Hohoe would have been Volta regional capital but his disdain for ewes made him build ho into Volta regional capital. Nkrumah had no respect for northerners and ewes as rightly said by sekou that the two groupings have been disrespected for many years.

I always laugh sarcastically at any Ghanaian or African who feels their tribe is better or superior than the other.This characteristic is not only peculiar to Ghana.
As an Akuapem man myself,I wonder what kind of infantile thinking could make adults behave like children or better still,brainless infants.
There is evil and bad people in this world irrespective of where they are from.Just like the coulour of your skin,you can't choose your tribe at birth.Therefore to judge someone based on their tribe is the most stupid,most painful,most ignorant,most evil thing anyone can do to their brother.
Instead of coming together to fight corruption,EPA and GMO etc,you Ghanaian adults as usual are displaying your childish and infantile thinking.
Our enemy isn't among ourselves.Our enemies are those who sow seeds of discourse among us.Those who initiate retarded ideas like EPA GMO and world bank loans and grants to our politicians.
If we become one voice in this country and continent,nobody will dare bring EPA GMO or any nonsensical ideology before us.The lack of unity is what is enabling the politicians especially in the ndc and Npp to control us and abuse the trust and mandate we give them and work with the enemy to make life unbearable for us whiles THEY and their children enjoy.
Wake up Ghana adult folk ad stop the brainless pointless tribalism.

Why is the use of AKAN now become a political tool to create tribal and political confusion in our nation?. We really have to find solution to this unexpected political sickness.

The major problem in relation to this rise in tribal sentiments has come about because the NPP wants to use all foul means to win power in Ghana, hence the use of Akan on the rise in our political landscape.

It is highly unfortunate that political parties' activities have really disturbed our social lives in many ways in Ghana, since every little issue one raises quickly calls in tribal talks, a thing which surely will never help our nation's development.

I believe time has come for every sensible citizen of our nation to wake up and realise that with tribal and political bigotry in our daily media projections we shall never reach anywhere near development. We shall therefore remain in financial difficulties, leaving our national economy crumbling down to the pit.

No political party should dream of salvaging our economy if they contimue with their primitive politics of selfishness, greediness and national disunity with their latest sickness of the Akan tag syndrome.

This character of retrogressive village mindedness, when practised unabatedly will lead us into economic disaster of which no political party can solve it period.

The Northerners were really looked down as they were branded as people who don't wear clothes, naked and also used pad locks to lock their wives mouth so no one can talk to them. Kwame Nkrumah did very well for them by sending a lot of clothes to the Northerners and also provided them with free education. The few times Busia visited the North, it was Tamale in a small park-- the Upper North was counted as very primitive and therefore seldom visited. The North were economically deprived as well. The Ewes were regarded as people who speak broken English because of the French influence.

It is true that the Northern Region has been and is even now being pampered unfavourably! The Norhern sector now boasts of quite a number of well educated professionals because of free education. Free education was supposed to help those who could not afford the cost of educating their wards. But now, having enjoyed the favour themselves and becoming super rich, affluent Northerners such as President Mahama and his brother are pushing their own wards through to be educated by the free education policy in the North whilst many children in other parts of the country are dropping out from school because their parents cannot afford to pay for their education.
What is being done about that? If the Northern sector of the country is now of age, and are demanding to be considered so, then it is about time the free education policy as is practised in the North is applied evenly throughout the entire country. Otherwise, people should stop this noise about the North being disrespected.
As to which tribe is the 'bank' for which party, Sekou should have gone further to discuss the margin of votes involved. In the Ashanti region, for instance, the proportion of votes between the NPP and the NDC has normally been of the order of 60% to 45% since the beginning of the current republic, whileas it has been about 10% to 90% in the Volta. That alone speaks volumes for itself. It tells any open minded observer that this could not be due to just political 'banking' alone: there may be some underlying factor which is hiding behind politics. Surely, if any party should be tagged as being of any particular tribe, then the best example would be that the NDC is an Ewe party, more so than the NPP being an Akan party! But for whatever reason, our media men are blinded to what happens in the Volta, and just jump on the band wagon to declare the NPP as an Akan party because some famous NDC politicians have said so!
There will come one day when all the Akans would realise that their significance as the largest tribe in the country is being pushed into the gutters. When all the Akan tribes start voting for one party in order to ensure their survival, the whole country would be the losers. All party executives of the NPP would be Akans, the President and his cabinet would all be Akans. All major heads of government boards would be Akans. All heads of professional bodies would be Akans. Then we would all sit back and enjoy the fruits of our hard work!

The marginalization of various ethnic groups in Ghana is huge barrier to our progress; this partly has its root causes in different languages spoken. There is no real unification in any development project that will enhance our social lives. If you don't belong to my tribe or speak the same dialect, we cannot agree on anything. Even among families, there is hidden jealousy and competition. Hence the disrespect could be aligned to seeing Akan, Ga, Fante, etc. as the dominant languages in the country.

What about Ewes? Who is disrespecting them? Gbedemah was with Nkrumah during the independence day and was a finance minister so, where does the " disrespecting stigma comes from"? Ewes should blame themselves for following the idiot Kofi Awoonor who preached hatred and tribalism against non Ewes. In his foolish mindset, he wish Ewes to be at the forefront of everything. Even those who worked with him at the Council of State, testify that the man harbors pure hatred towards non Ewes especially Akans. He hates Akan for no reason and I blame him for the ongoing tribal foolishness going on between Akan and Ewes. Mind you this tribal nonsense is seen among the educated ones. Ghanaians who live in the hinterland love one another and they see no difference among them but Ghanaians.

Why should the Ewe be respected when they have never accepted or tolerated any form of govt in Ghana apart from the one headed by their kinsman who used it to annihilate Akans? The northerners, despite free education in their part of the world, which was funded by the cocoa farmers, decided to shun education and trooped down south to be porters or form the axe and hoe brigades to weed peoples farms when the farmers paid their children/wards school fees?

Son of Sekou Toure, your step father, Dr. Nkrumah, wanted to rule for life, and JJ and his NDC also want to rule for life. Between Nkrumah/CPP and JJ/NDC, they have ruled Ghana for 8 years and 26 years respectively, making a total of 35 years out of our 57 years of independence. The Kotoka/Ankrah/Afrifa and Achepong/Akufo Military regimes ruled for 10 years, Busia ha 2 years, and Limann had 2 years. NPP ruled for only 8 years under Kufuor.
So, which regime has had the longest opportunity but disrespected and sidelined Northerners and Ewes the most? Is it the NPP? Even the Ewes will agree that the Keta Sea Defence wall was built by Kufuor, an Akan, and not JJ, the Ewe, and his Ewe supported NDC. So, Sekou, go over your analysis and come again.

Hanna Tetteh unilaterally canceled a contract, a very stupid and reckless move, bordering on lawlessness and impunity, causing Ghana to loose almost GHC200million cedis.
That amount of money could have been used to address the development challenges in the Volta region by the Mahama led NDC gov't which derives it's support mainly from the Volta region which they have described as their world bank.
Again the amount of almost GHC200million cedis could have been used to address some of the development needs of the North, after the NDC gov't led by John Mahama initiated the SADA project, but has become a conduit for the looting of state funds without addressing the proposed purpose of the indigenes of the North, which is the alleviation of poverty.
So who has been disrespecting the Northerners and the Ewes? And are the Northerners and the Ewes by their actions respecting the Northerners and the Ewes, and Ghanaians in general when one takes into consideration such stupid, reckless and lawless actions of members of the NDC such as Hanna Tetteh?
The seeds of ethnic hatred and bigotry which have been sowed by the Rawlings NDC military junta cum political party, which has been planted in the minds of a section of the citizenry creating the façade that some Ghanaians hate them, and therefore, creating the situation for looting and thievery, recklessness and impunity, which allows actions of Hanna Tetteh for example, to go unpunished and thus, affecting the socio-economic development of the country needs to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
The reckless and lawless actions of Hanna Tetteh which has caused Ghana to loose such a huge sum of money is unacceptable. Such stupidity and incompetence, recklessness and irresponsibility needs to be curtailed immediately. The Mahama led NDC gov't needs to demonstrate that, it takes governance seriously, that it takes the socio-economic development of the country very, very seriously irrespective of our diverse ethnic background.
The irresponsibility of Hanna Tetteh should be addressed by the Mahama led NDC gov't by firing Hanna Tetteh immediately. Ghana deserves better.

After over 19 years with Jery Rawlings as president? Who looks down on who? How many Akans have been president of Ghana? After all that the Anglo mafia has done and continues to do and think, why will anybody still think that somebody will look down on Ewes? By the way, what actually does Sekuo mean by looking down on Ewes and Northerners? So now we do not need to look at quality and qualification of a person wanting to become the leader of the nation, but where he- she comes from? This is nauseating, to say the least. Pele must prepare themselves for leadership positions through their own efforts and not where you are from. This tribalistic way of doing things is archaic and must be thrown into the dustbin of history. Only people who are bankrupt ofit ideas will think that way. Shame on you Sekuo!!

In the Volta Region, for example, the extension of electricity was well under way with a German grant in the 70s. The project stopped with the senseless coups of 1979 and 81. It resumed more than a decade later.

Any body who insulted you for making this statement is a BIG FOOL. Those useless souls are NDC sympathizers who have nothing to give, and are stealing from the National Purse.

Mahama, and co are the culprit.

Hmmm.....I think his analysis is spot on. Without a doubt NPP has its work cut out if it is to shed this perception or reality that it is an Akan party. The only true measure of diversity and inclusion is by putting up a candidate from one of the non Akan tribes. Politics is about perception and rightly or wrongly the image persists.

Oh Sekou, Afoko was not elected just because he is from the north. He was the most eligible candidate. That is how democracy works. There is Nana Addo who is still popular as ever and Alan K. who has managed to gain a few more hearts in the NPP. Considering the popularity of these two men, can you suggest any other person even among the Akans who command as many votes as these two men?

This is democracy no matter how inconvenient this might be the voters will vote for the popular candidate be it a an Akan, Ewe, Dagbani, Gonja, Bono, etc. Please do an educated analysis and don't confuse the general public.

I think Sekou should allow Ghanaians to enjoy the peace that we have now and not create any unnecessary animosity among the tribes of this nation. It should be noted that Rawlings is the longest serving president for 19 years and he is an Ewe who was heavily supported by Akans intellectuals. Again, the Akan majority voted the late President Hilla Limann to power and he was overthrown by Rawlings for the reasons he assigned. President Mahama, was also voted to power by the Akans as well. So please don't turn to blame the Akans for others who are looking down on Northerners.

There is a saying in Akan which translates in English as"In every town there is a MENSAH"
It has so many meanings the two best of which are (1)When males are born to a family insucession te third male takes the name "Mensah" indicating third male.
(2) IN every town there is a"Mensah".
That said there is in every country a practise is akin to tribalism.
In the UK the electorate will manouvre to vote in an Engish prime minister ahead of a scot,welsh or jew.
I have seen time and again that the only time it has happened for a scot,welsh prime minister is through the default system of continuing to the next election date.So Jim Callaghan (welsh)and Mr Brown(scot) became prime ministers.
IN Ghana we have a situation where marginalisation of tribes is due to our long history of intolerance.

It is baseless and stupid indeed to assert that by electing a northner or an ewe to lead the NPP Party is the antidote for the party to get support from the area. The most important thing is to get a compotent leader from any region in Ghana to lead the country irrespective of his ethnic background. This assertion rather breeds tribalism contrary to unification of the country based on " One People, One Nation and One Destiny" champion by his own father and Kutu Acheampong of SMC 1. Sekou should know that It will be totally discriminately for a nothener to cast his or her vote against an Akan leader from the NPP party because of his tribal traits despite his capability or compentency to rule the country at its best than to vote for an incompetent President from the north. Afterall the end result of any political and pragmatic policies of a leader affect all of us as Ghanaian. Furthermore, Akans are not Asantes and Akyems alone but include ethnic groups like the Brons, Kwahus, Akuapems and even some of the people in the Volta region called Volta Akans from Kagebi , Jasikan, Buem Krachi and the rest and therefore, would be wrong and suicidal to portray Asantes for being the only Akans as enemies of ewes or northerners as propagated by he Sekou being ignorant of this fact. It is a shame to blackmail NPP in this manner.

Ahhhh! Dr.Nkrumah your started the problem so do not blame anyone later. When he came into power, the only rationalized states were the three northern regions and would relinquish their lands to the Brits to be part of the then Gold Coast(Upper West, Upper East, and Northern Regions). The Southern states only franchised their land with the Brits-their land was their until today. Then, Volta region also became part of Ghana-Upper West, Upper East, Northern Regions, and Volta Regions. Ask the Brits.

H.E. FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR

SPECIAL INFO ALERT TO:
H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

DATE: TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2014
SUBJECT: TO RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY REFER TO THE ABOVE RELATED PUBLICATION CAPTIONED, " NORTHERNERS AND EWES DISRESPECTED FOR SO LONG--" BY THE SON OF THE LATE FIRST PRESIDENT OF GHANA OSAGYEFO DR.KWAME NKRUMAH IN THE PERSON OF DR.SEKOU NKRUMAH FOR THE KIND ATTENTION OF HIS EXCELLENCIES, THERETO.
THAT I PERSONALLY VIEW THE PUBLICATION UNFOLDING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE "HIDDEN AGENDA" OF THOSE WHO STILL ARE PLAYING THE TRIBAL RELATED CARD OF DISCRIMINATION AND ALSO DISPARAGING THE TWO (2) TRIBES OF GHANA FOR WHATSOEVER REASON, THERETO, I PERSONALLY CANNOT AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THEM.
THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TRIBE IN GHANA WHO CAN LAY CLAIM OF SUPERIORITY OF THE OTHERS AND IF THEY STILL BELIEVING IN THEIR MINDSETS IN THIS 21ST CENTURY WORLD THEN THEY PURPORTEDLY DOING SO BECAUSE OF "GROSS IGNORANCE".
IN FACT, I AM A PERSON WHO NEVER ENGAGED MYSELF IN TRIBAL OR RACIAL SLURS AND WOULD NEVER INDULGE IN IT ANYWHERE< MOREOVER, IN GHANA.
IT IS AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I AM NOW BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CRIMINAL RELATED ACTS PERPETRATED AGAINST MY FAMILY AND MYSELF WHEN WE WERE RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BOTH IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AND NEW YORK.
THAT IT WAS AN AKAN MAN, JEFFLEAN NTOW AND OTHERS WITH IMPUNITY KIDNAPPED MY THEN WIFE ALICE NAVI AMEKUDZI AND MY BEAUTIFUL INFANT DAUGHTER KEKELI AMA AMEKUDZI ON JANUARY 25, 2007 IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AND ALL MY PERSONAL PROPERTY INCLUDING MONEYS, LAW BOOKS, LETTERS, BANKS ACCOUNTS, CREDITS CARDS ,EVEN MY E-MAILS AND OTHERS WERE ALL STOLEN AND NO ACTION TAKING AGAINST THE PERPETRATORS OF THESE HEINOUS CRIMES.
THAT IS IT ALSO BECAUSE OF THAT NOTION THAT EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE AND ACHIEVED ALSO THAT THOSE TRIBALISTS PURPORTED TO CONVERT THEM FROM ME AND TO STEAL THEM FROM ME?
THIS IS BECAUSE H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA HIMSELF IS A NORTHERNER AND I AM ALSO AN EWE MAN THEREFORE THE "EVIL" PLOT HATCHED AGAINST US BY THOSE TRIBALIST?
THAT WHEN I WAS RESIDENT IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THAT I HELPED TO PREVENT WAR BETWEEN AMERICA AND IRAN EVEN AT THE "HIGH SEA" AND ALSO MADE THE CASE AND SECURED THE RELEASED OF THE BRITISH HOSTAGES IN IRAN, THERETO.
THAT I FURTHER HELPED MADE THE CASE AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF IRAN PAID A ONE DAY OFFICIAL VISIT TO IRAQ AND HE WAS GIVEN "RED CARPET" WARMTH RECEPTION AND IRAN CONTRIBUTED $1 BILLION TOWARDS IRAQ RECONSTRUCTIONS EFFORTS AND ALSO MADE THE CASE AND IRAN RETURNED TO THE NUCLEAR WEAPON TALKS WITH UNITED NATIONS.
THAT IS IT BECAUSE OF THE TRIBALIST MENTALITY THAT THE QUESTIONS I RESPECTFULLY ASKED NPP POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS DURING H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR GOVERNMENT
WHEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GAVE GHANA A GRANT OF $547 MILLION FOR POVERTY REDUCTIONS WHETHER OR NOT AMERICA GAVE ME (BENONY TONY AMEKUDZI, ESQ) $10 MILLION THROUGH THEN GHANA GOVERNMENT? IF YES, WHO RECEIVED THE MONEY?
THAT H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA DULY SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER ABOUT IRAN AND HON.FORMER SECRETARY OF US TREASURY TIMOTHY GEITHNER INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD INSTRUCTIONS TO WIRE $10 MILLION ONLY INTO MY ACCOUNTS AND I DULY GAVE MY THEN WACHOVIA BANK CHECKING ACCOUNT NO. WHICH IS NOW "WELL FARGO BANK" AND THE MONEY WAS STOLEN AND THE BANK DETECTED THE FRAUD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THAT IT IS MY FIRM BELIEVED THAT THOSE IN GHANA PARADING AGAIN UNDER THE FALSEHOOD OF TRIBAL SLURS AND HOLDING SOME TRIBES AS "SUPERIOR" THAN OTHERS IS NOTHING BUT THE "SYNDROME OF GROSS IGNORANCE".
THAT GHANA AND AMERICA HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES OF ACHIEVEMENTS BY GHANA IN 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS DEFILED TRIBAL SLURS AND DULY ELECTED H.E.PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AS DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF GHANA AND ALSO VALIDATED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF GHANA.
THAT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA DO/DID NOT ALLOW THEMSELVES OF TRIBAL DIVIDE BUT ELECTED A NORTHERNER WHO IS H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA.
THAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN 2008 AND 2012 MADE HISTORY AND ELECTED THE FIRST EVER BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THAT HISTORY AND POSTERITY WOULD BE ON THE SIDES OF BOTH COUNTRIES FOR THESE RELATED GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS AND STRIDES CHALKED.
IT IS AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTING TO HIS EXCELLENCIES THAT "FRIENDSHIP IS A PROMISE AND THEREFORE DISTANCE SHOULD NOT BE SEEN TO PLAY HIS EXCELLENCIES APART" BUT TO GET VERY CLOSE AND INTIMATE TO EACH OTHER TO HELP MOVE FORWARD GHANA AND AMERICA SMART DISPENSATION OF DIPLOMACY AND TO HELP BOTH COUNTRIES TO BENEFIT FROM EACH OTHER AND GHANA STANDS TO GAIN A LOT FROM AMERICA. THIS WOULD HELP TO PROMOTE THE ASPIRATIONS OF BETTER GHANA AGENDA AND ALSO TO BUILD A PROSPEROUS GHANA AND AMERICA FOR ALL.
THAT IN THAT ENVISAGED COUNTRY IT IS THE CONTENTS OF THE CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE THE YARDSTICK AND NOT WHICH TRIBE A PERSON HAILS FROM OR RACE THAT A PERSON BELONGS TO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATE DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING, JNR. "DREAM SPEECH" WHEREIN, H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS THE TORCH BEARER AND H.E.PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA IS ALSO THE "TORCH BEARER IN GHANA".
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,
