Obed Asamoah has no shame at all. After all those "yeye," he still came back to join NDC. AYIGBEMAN with Akan name Asamoah. I have never seen or heard the vice versa. Per the import or substance of the story, that was a clear display of envy, covetousness and skin pain. You are a nobody in NDC now because of your action. A word to the wise is enough.

Hey, dude. To the best of our knowledge Obed Asamoah is of Guan stock, precisely of Likpe enthnic group. Likpes can currently be found in the northern part of Hohoe municipality of the Volta region. Some of the principal towns of the Likpes are Likpe Bala, Likpe Mantey and Likpe Kukurantumi and others.Please not all people from the Volta region are Ewes or ayigbes. Even Akans are native Voltarians also with a district capital at Kadjebi.Knowledge, they say is power.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Knowledge is indeed power! That's why they are unable to fathom out what hits them from the VR, a microcosm of all the major ethnic groups in Ghana.
If a big portion of the TVT had not been added to the Northern Region and now Upper East, even the capital of the Dagbon, Yendi, and all the way to Mamprusi land and all those enumerable ethnic groups up there would have been part of the VR! But they are well represented in the present VR, at the northern part.
So this ignorant moron can only find this human story news as another excuse to heap insults on "Ewes" - oh! "Ayigbes" - completely unaware that the real people tagged Ayigbes are descendants of Ga-Adangme fugitives from the Akwamu wars who settled amongst Ewe speakers and intermarried. I have one of them as a customer. She's Ga as they come, her family being among those who returned to found Osu-Anouho (Anexo)in Accra long ago. You have to listen to her recount their history. One of her regrets is that she never followed her father to Togo before, hmmm, cos she was scared of stories of voodoos.

The national, patriotic, bold, untribalistic Rawlings chose Mills, a known incorruptible man, and then chose Martin Amidu for the Presidency. Rawlings knew how easy it was for people to steal money, hence be sidelined die-hard members of the NDC for Mills. Unfortunately, Kronfuor Kuffour won the elections, which began the moneytization of everything in Ghana, even selection of Chiefs and MPs. Kuffour is the cause of all the massive corruption thoughts of Ghanaians today. He planted corruption in our dear country, whilst receiving kickbacks in his office.

You an idiot of a human being can call Kufuor Okronfuor ? Is your stupid tribalistic, armed robbers, hateful and envious party not in power ? And what are you waiting for ? Why are you not sending them real Ghanaians to court ? You and your people will end up in jail come 2017 like it happened to some of your so called ndc bigwigs whom some are vying for positions in your national elections. I get pissed off when these thieves, who were born into stealing call and brand others as thieves when they have nothing to show. Rawlings is a big time thief and every Ghanaian knows about that, why did he insert the indemnity clause in the constitution ? After all Kufuor never stole a seat from a state owned helicopter as a furniture in his room ?he had his own building before becoming the president of Ghana so at least he had a place to put his head unlike your tribalistic nyebro Rawlings who cried on roof tops about injustices in the system only to allow himself and his people to steal from the state and where they haven't worked.Riches come with hardwork not stealing.Who sold all the state assets left to this country by an industrious son of this country Dr Kwame Nkrumah? Is it not Rawlings ? Does where he is living in the Ridge belongs to him ? What are you so called corrupted Paa (I know Paa doesn't come from your area ) talking about ? Do you want us to go further ? We have time for the parasites in our country who think they have big mouths. We are not going to shut up for you people to insult our leaders, if anything at all we need to talk bcos Ghana is benefiting from the hard work of our forefathers cocoa, timber, gold, diamond, bauxite, rubber and oil which was
discovered by President Kufuor barima ba,
Rawlings was the head of state and
president for 19 blinded good years and he
couldn't explore for oil, but rather instead
of oil Tsikata found salt and you have the
guts to call president Kufuor Okronfuo ? Of
what benefit from your area did he
embazzled? He was a good man even not
to turn his house into a castle, if I were him
I would have done that since much of
Ghana's money comes from my area, even
Rawlings, Tsikata, Selormey , woyome,
Ablakwa, Fiifi Kwettey etc whose region
can't produce cassava for local
consumption are chopping Ghana's money
that doesn't belong to them, how much
more those whose resources are being chopped by these people.Do you think because we are not talking means we are fools? Everything that has a beginning has an end. I rest my case

About 32 years ago the Nigerian government thanked educated and non-educated Ghanaians living in Nigeria for their services and asked them to leave. Ghanaians were sacked. Nigerians remind themselves daily of that event by calling a certain bag "Ghana must go" and they seem to enjoy the memory of it.
Do you have amnesia?? GBC do you have amnesia?? Remind your fellow Ghanaian.
It does not matter what the Progress Party did 10 years before their decision asking foreigners living in Ghana to obtain residency permits. The Progress Party's action was before ECOWAS was formed but Nigeria's action took place after the formation of ECOWAS.

Affordable - you are another ignorant Ghanaian! Who told you everyone from the Volta region was ewe or ayigbe? The ewes constitute about two-thirds of the entire region and the rest from the northern part of the region, are guans or akans. Dr Obed Asamoah is from Likpe, a guan not an ewe. He does not speak ewe. The chiefs of Likpe use the title Nana, not even Togbe like the ewes. Dr Kwabena Adjei is also another guan from Nkonya. The only region with ONE ethnic group is Ashanti Region. All the other regions have diverse ethnic groups. e. g. Eastern Region has Akuapems, Krobos, Akwamus, Ashantis (New Juaben) and Kwahus. Please know your history!

Abbie, you are right. But its like they want to behave more like the ewes than akan. Eastern region has the krobos as the only people with a different dialect , the rest are all akans but you can see the difference
between the akans and the krobos. In the
volta region its only the people from
Jasikan, Worawora, Kejebi and the Krachis
who don't behave like the ewes.They are
the ones who usually say they are not
ewes but the rest accept the argument as
ewes.So they need to teach Ghanaians
about their real ethnicity to make the
difference.I know people from Kpando,
Hohoe, Anfoega, and around that area are nice and loving people who don't hate like the real ewes.Those from the northern and mid volta are different from those from the sourthern Volta.

I beg to disagree on one issue.
First of all, all Twi speakers, with some exceptions, belong to one ethnic group, Akan, diverse though the derivation of the Twi speakers today. The various units constitute tribes within the bigger Akan ethnic group. When I say some exceptions, I have in mind Guan stock which now use Twi as their lingua franca. The Guan Akuapems, for instance, as opposed to the Akyem Akuapems, who are truly Akans.
Specifically on Asante, 33% of them had been estimated to be of slave origins, coming from near and far. Then we have others like the Akyem war captives who were resettled in Asante Akyem. In the past, the dreaded "afisen" taboo enjoined all to be regarded as "Asante", but the fact remains that they come from different tribes (Akan) and ethnic(non-Akan) groups.
We can work out the details if need be, by breaking the afisem taboo.:-)
Btw, are sure Dr Asamoah can't speak Ewe. They have their own language but they also learn to speak Ewe, as I found out when at Mawuli School, Ho.

Amidu is OK and he should have been the president instead of clueless Mahama.
As for Asamoah the greedy hypocrite loathed by his own people for negligence, the least said of him the better.
Finally, Ghana has no good people after all. I was not there during Nkrumah's rule but I still miss him.
