we have always pointed out that mahama is burdened by tribal ethnic hatred for the Akans and could help himself but show his true colors in Kumasi . The fact that there is no Fanti who is a substantiate minister says it all. Any Akan who is a member of this treacherous hate filled ndc is only sawing the tree of life he is sitting on .People still refuse to open their eyes and recognize the reality of this sad evil situation .its seems our pessimistic predictions about our country are coming true .the country will eventually fall apart due to tribalism and corruption as the institutions of state will become so weak and biased that they will be the cause of an uprising that will turn bloody .nothing good can come out of following this govt as they are too busy being selfish , greedy and hating the Akans .it is the reality of our circumstance and is partly due to the lazy , blindly trusting nature of the Akans.God does not help lazy people who can not make good positive choices and decisions . do not call upon the name of thy lord in vain .there is true wisdom in the Bible just that our people are fond of misintepreting things to suit their non action laziness and foolishness .our people are not everyone in ghana , africa or the universe , our people are the 10 tribes ordained by God to be the Akans .NDC would have us believe the country is and economy is getting better but in reality they are stealing more to Iran Dubai and Turkey every week . They would have has believe this pepeni could get a greater victory margin the mills and in 2016 or next they will beat Nkrumah and North Korea's record and get 99,99% of the vote as all Ghanians are so enthusiastic about Great Pepeni that they don't believe that anyone can do any better . They have brainwashed and conditioned the minds of many to believe Akans are the undoing of the nation the same way the Israelite were in Egypt but when we say let our people go they say we are nations wreckers and we are too selfish because we will not be slaves and give our gold , oil and cocoa willing for free as its their birthright to exploit us . They tell us where ever you go in the tro tros and in the streets people are singing praises of Mahama and burst up in joy when ever they see any NDC man coming , we know otherwise . the time will come for sure when the people will resign to the fact that only a bloody uprising will set us free . SHAME ON YOU all of you who refuse to see the truth and support this criminal mafia govt .

You are senseless. You know why? Because a lot of people inherit properties but squander them. Show us anything Kuffour did in Kumasi. Ex-president Rawlings' NDC government aquired land, preapred everything for the inland port to take off in Kumasi. Instead of continuing it to create more jobs in Ashanti region and ease harbour problems for the northern section of Ghana, he uselessly refused to continue it and the thing collapsed. UP/NPP supporters including you in Ashanti being so daft could not complain that you continue to hail him for stealing Ghana money. Do you know why God blessed King Solomon, because he was able to utilize the building materials left for the building of the temple for God. Your name even shows how senseless you are when it comes to thinking.

He held on to the "Yen Akanfo" comment of Nana Addo from the day it was made up to today. In fact, he used it against Nana Addo in election 2012, even while he himself was calling on Northerners to vote only for their fellow Northerner. Having won the elections with the votes of millions of Akans, any time he got the opportunity he insults Akans instead of thanking them. Yesterday it was Kibi being the headquarters of gallamsey. Today it is Ashantis being an ungrateful people. It is now time for us to use his anti- Akan insults and tribalistic statements against him from now all the way to election 2016. this first post independence born President is no credit to post independent born politicians. He depicts them as very immature politicians.

Some people think they can speak twi and even use idiomatic expressions. They don't recognise their limitations and they impose their own interpretation of idioms on native spaekers. But this would have been tolerable if not for the impudence of trying to denigrate a group of people in their own language which the speaker clearly does not grasp. And if the speaker clearly understood what he was saying then he deserves the backlash caused by his words.

He knew fully what he was saying, who he was speaking to, the implication of his words and the defence forces that will come to his aid in case of a backfire. If he is not an Akan why did he then decend into the using Akan proverbs. Dont Northerners, Gas, Ewes, Nzemas, and other tribes of Ghana have similar proverbs? Why did he not use any of those? Presdo must be told in the face that hes becoming too insulting, insinuating and a bigot, to say the least. Hes the father of the nation and must behave and seen as such.

Who was offended by President Mahama's remark and how? Ever since the NDC retook power in 2009, I dare all you hypocrites and cowards to tell which region has been a spot for constant agitation, uprising and or shown disdain and hostility to NDC initiatives? Since 2009, people in Kumasi have entertained their belligerent and bellicose local and national leaders make unsavory remarks and political speeches including the fact that in Kumasi they refuse to participate in National Health Insurance Scheme when most regions have participated. Tell me what is it about the people that make them incapable of seeing through what they do but get on their high horses with pretentious indignation when others tell them what they are from perceived vibes?
Did Gen Mosquito not prove that people in the Ashanti region are more likely to believe in any bull crap than reality? So why pretend to be offended for Mahama telling the truth? Did it ever occur to anyone that there is not a single NPP person in the Ashanti region, especially Kumasi, who is satisfied or appreciative of anything the region has gained under an NDC administration?

It should be made known to all in Ghana that Akan is not a tribe as many continue to use the word Akan wrongly, to confuse many intelligent people who are aware of Akan as a word use to describe the ten tribes that have similarities in their languages. These tribes are; the Akwapim, Akyem, Akwamu, Ahanta, Ashante, Bono, Fante, Kwahu, Nzema, and Sefwi.

Bature should have been realistic in saying that Mahama is not an Ashanti which carry more sense of understanding than the way he put it. Bature and others; are they practising journalism without being helpful to those who read their writings?.

I am sure the president's comments stem out of frustration from the ambivalent of the Asantes towards in government and party in particular. But he should understand that it will be tough for any well thinking Asante particularly residents of Kumasi to ever vote for the NDC when the founder of the party singled them out for punishment. Under the elsewhere AFRC and PNDC regimes, it was a crime to even live in Kumasi. We were terrorized by the very government that was to protect us. Though I have personally never voted in Ghana I do not think if I lived in Ghana I could vote for those cartoon characters who work with the president. Mahama is simply guilty by association though I personally see him as a good guy. At any rate he should live above the fray and not fan hatred among the populace. God bless Ghana.
