"The Presidency has become a den of criminals"- Prof. Amoako(Political Science Lecturer).
Afriyie Ankrah looted and upon uttering the famous words "open sesame" in the story of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, he was gleefully welcomed into the grotto of Ghana's economic collapse, described by Prof. Amoako as the den of criminals.
Adu Asare is also in there so it's no surprise he's defending Mahama Ayariga.
Besides the record is clear. The Mahama-led NDC gov't is thieving the resources of the state and the evidence is there to support this position.
The Supreme Court has given it's verdict of a number of such cases, and incidentally, a former Attorney General Martin Alamisi Benz Kaiser Amidu-Citizen Vigilante was forcefully shoved out, when he suffered a bout of consciousness and resolved to stem the tide of wanton thievery by the Mahama-led NDC gov't. It never happened and today, Ghana is in a financial and economic catastrophe and chaos. So what is Adu Asare going on about?

When the Akans are together, the Asantes call fantis fools and concert people. They advice people not to marry fanti women. Now they need votes so they are trying to pull the AKAN card. Oh please stop it. How many posts has been given to central /Western in the NPP? Please folks do the math. They said NDC has not developed cape coast yea right! NPP hass’t only only not developed the west, but not given them any post. The Central and Western region has voted NPP more than any tribe yet got nothing from them. We are the one’s who break the tides for NPP, but when they win the cushion their own asante Akyem. Only my foolish brothers will be swayed to vote for these cheats. Leave fantis out of these.

Look mate, upon all the resources under the soil of our great nation, about a little over 20% is discovered up-to-date. A recent 3D seismic reconnaissance survey proved that Ghana is blessed with much more than we are showcasing now before the world. From a huge deposit of iron ore, more bauxite, more oil and gas, a sizable amount of copper and what have you. In fact, it's all over the place and not reserved only in those five regions he mentioned. The question now is time and the necessary investment to bring all these on stream. So, if a learn man, the calibre of Mr. Osafo Marfo, whom I do respect a great deal, utters such unguarded garbage, it rushes my blood to the head much faster and the question of WHY come longing. If this tape that is circulating is really his, then I am at a loss to say the least.

The ink haven't even dry yet over that history, hence comes a another wave of bigotries harbouring the same ideology and masquerading as some legitimate political entity in our modern day Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana. How alarming!

Obrumankoma in the eighteenth century.It was a peaceful march.The only wars in our annals were against the Asantes.The last one lasted for about twenty years - 1874 ( the duration of the Sagranti war) that was then.Lets leave that with history. The Ahafos were incooperated or annexed to form the now Brong Ahafo Region in 1958.So far everything is peaceful I therefore urge all chieves and peace loving citizens of Brong Ahafo and Ghana to condemn such rhetorics and any war like propensity.Ghana is for all Ghanians.The Selfish People's Agenda is divisive and unhealthy.Long lie Ghana.

You are right and this is the reason why the records must be set straight. What Mr. Osafo Marfo said is definitely true and the Akans must protect their resources as Ga's always voice out their interest in Accra although they bought their land from the Fantis in the olding centuries which is fine.
No one would have say something if these moneys stolen was used for the socio development of our nation and regions.
The history of Akans are been manipulated gradually by minorities headed by former Rawlings and the Akans are sitting there unconcern.
It is about time the truth of the history must come out as counter attack against these forces of nation wreckers.
This topic has nothing to do with tribalism but with national cohesion.

I am not impressed a bit about this response in the name of the NDC party. They must go beyond these simple platitudes and show by providing statistical data WHY Osafo Marfo is wrong and is just a diabolical and bigoted ethnocentric politician, just as many of the members of the NPP.
First, those claims have been aired by the leaders, members and supporters of the NPP in one form or the other over the decades. It'd be dishonest on the of anybody, unless the person is a victim of sheer ignorance, to claim that he or she is not aware of such claims in the past. I recollect one extended argument we of the Moral Brigade had on SIL with Dr Kofi Ellison and his equally ignorant and bigoted supporters over whether cocoa is produced in the VR too. They insisted that that was not the case, and we from the VR were just parasites and free loaders on them "these Akans".
And I recollect I had quoted, in rebutting these claims, on more than one occasion from the compact 1991 Facts and Figures released by the Min. of Agric titled Agriculture in Ghana to show how an insignificant contribution cocoa makes to total agric GDP compared to other crops, as against its contribution to export earnings where it is very significant. Agric in total then contributed abt 50% of GDP and 60% of export earnings. So by 1991, roots and tubers, comprising cassava, yam and cocoyam, topped the list with 46% of agric GDP, with yam said to be experiencing the greatest growth in area planted. "Puna" yam is of course the king of yams in the overseas market and no doubt has the potential to be a big foreign exchange earner for Ghana and poverty ending product in the North if the successive govts have any clues how to do it.
Cocoa, the second single contributor contributesd a mere 13% compared to the 9% contributed by plantain.
Forestry the 3rd largest contributed 11%. Cereals (maize, rice, sorghum and millet) contributed 7%. Livestock 5%. Fisheries 4%. Fruits and vegetables 3%. Others 2%.
So there we have it! The question is who are producing those products, not only where they are being produced. Polly Hill has mapped this for cocoa in her seminal classic The Migrant Cocoa Farmers of Southern Ghana and others on the agric sector in Ghana, specifically fishing, and livestock in the southern VR in the Bator area in Tongu. I bet she was surprised to discover that most of the cattle then was owned by Anlos, not the people of Tongu.
We can do this for the mining sector too, just as the other sectors, such as services, contributing the other now over 50% of GDP. That's the kind of analysis we expect "these Akans" to produce to back their claims and the the ruling NDC to produce to debunk them. Anything short of that is trifle and the "dangerous" claims shall continue to be made by "these Akans."

What Epson is saying might be possible that is because the other tribes are the bigots not the Akans.
Assume Nana Akuffo go to the Akan areas and tell them vote for me because I am Akan or one of you and it is time for Akan to be President .The tribes in the North and Ewes will go bonkers but that is exactly what Mahama said in 2012 and still Akans voted for him to become President. Why then is it wrong for Osafo Marfo to state what is true and obvious about the natural resources being from Akan areas?
What I don't agree with if he said that is the restatement the leader of Ghanas should come from the area that produce the bulk of resources in Ghana.
This tape is fabricated by Ndc Asante haters because Osafo Marfo who is not Asante would not have stated that his beliefs should be discussed in the midst of Asantes and nobody else. Does it mean Osafo Marfo doesn't trust his own Akyem clan? An Asante hater doctored this tape thinking Osafo Marfo is an Asante and that is where the bigot Ndc fool who fabricated this tape messed up.

What kind of war and who is going to fight against the Akan, the majority of the country? Think deep, please. What Mr. Marfo says is the absolutely true that almost all the resources the country has comes from the 10 regions. This is a heavy topic everyone in the country who is an Akan can deal with. Whether you are an NDC or NPP or PPP or CPP.
This statement could be useless, if President Mahama was able to manage the resources of the country fair and the positions gaven to the people were not almost from the north and are muslims and incompetent.
We are fed up of this hardship of no jobs, constant electricity and water supply in Ghana.

You are a funny. Do you think NDC is going to rule Ghana more than 8 years? it will never happen, mark it on the wall. During 2012 election campaigns Mahama went to the north and said, the northerners should vote for him because he is a northerner, and i also remember Mills made a similar one time in central region.

A watermelon farmer was determined to scare off the local kids who went into his watermelon patch every night to eat their fill.
After some thought, he made a sign that said, "Warning! One of these watermelons has been injected with Poison!"
He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off the next night without eating any of his melons.
A week later, the farmer was surveying his field. To his satisfaction, no watermelons were missing, but a sign next to his read:

Ghana must face reality and be bold to say things out when they get out of control.
It is certainly annoying that the majority people from whose land the rich resource of the country are those marginalized in terms of government appointees, employment and even giving state scholarships.
It is on record Mahama did said his government is about time of the northerners during his early campaigning in 2012 and tell me if that was not tribal?
We see pure ethnocentric government in place where every ministry is covered with one sided tribe made up of people of the north and you think that is right?
Selecting ordinary supporters to watch the Black Stars play in Brazil and Equatorial Guinea was even out of tribal selections.
Certainly, there is a concern of tribal issues to be addressed if Ghana want to move forward as a united country.

Personally, I still doubt if Osaafo Marfo really said this. But if he did, it is most unfortunate as the reasoning is wrong. Why? First, resources are in abundance in all the other regions of Ghana except that they have not been fully identified and/or exploited. Secondly, if by resources we mean only gold and other minerals, cocoa, oil etc then we are mistaken because these are only natural resources. Human resource is also very important and no one can say the other regions lack these. So it takes a combination of natural and human resources to bring about development. And the fact that one region "may lack" natural resources does not consign its citizens to the staus of slaves in their own country, always to be ruled and never to rule.

Very good point.Osafo's idea of resources is rather simplistic.He holds himself high as well educated but rather shallow in his thinking.Resources are not but they become.Human capital speaks for itself.The Whiteman is where he is because of human capital.Raw materials eg;cocoa,coffee and tea will not take you far.Africa abounds in mineral resources but lacks technology.Gold and oil companies in Africa are foreign owed because the technology and investment comes from abroad.There is little link between natural resource endowment and good leadership.

Can NDC and Ben Ephson come out and prove to the whole world that Politcal appointments in their goverment are regionally ballanced? Where in the democratic world apart from Africa are regional,tribal and ethnic ballance not taking into consideration in public appointments? Has history not taught the NDC leadership and Ben Ephson enough lessons that ignoring the regional, tribal or ethnic interest are the cause of almost all civil, tribal, ethnic and separation wars in the world over? Is it not a tribal bigotry to ignore the majority akans in public appointments? Has the Asantehene even not spoken about it for the Asantes or Ashanti region? Have the Chiefs in Western Region not voice out their dissatisfaction with the neglect of their region? Has the Okyehene not spoken about the neglect of the Eastern region? Are these sentiments voiced by the traditional leaders of the various regions when not adress that have the potential to tear apart the very fabric that bind us together as one people with a common destiny,”? NDC leadership and Ben Ephson can accuse people who complain about their tribal politics of being tribal bigots. He who practises tribal bigotry is the tribal bigot and a threat to the unity of Ghana and not the one who complains about tribal bigotry.

HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS IN GHANA :
So Simple, Just Tag NPP as Akan (Ashanti) Party.
All the people from the other tribes will feel
aggrieved and hate towards NPP. They will then
vote for NDC irrespective of their bad performance
in government.
The NDC always uses tribal sentiments to win
elections but yet turn round to tag NPP as
"ethnocentrics."
THE HARD TRUTH: Ashantis (Asantes) are the
most hated tribe in Ghana. Tag anything Ashanti
(Asante) and you will be guaranteed that it will not
see the support of most of the other tribes.
Ashantis are tagged as tribal people but Kumasi is
the only city in Ghana you will find sub-towns
(suburbs) of all the major ethnic groups in Ghana.
At the heart of Kumasi, you will find Anloga
(predominantly Ewes); Asawase, Aboabo, Alabar
(predominantly Hausa and Northerners); Agric-
Nzema (Nzema descendants), etc. These people
have been living in harmony with Ashantis for
decades but yet hate on Ashantis which
unfortunately transcends to NPP for no apparent
reason has always been a major strategy of the
NDC.
Ashantis are the only people who did not dispute
the renaming of 'their' Sports Stadium. Even
though Baba Yara was of a Northern descent, they
gladly welcomed the name. "We never say we are
going to Kumasi Sports Stadium, we proudly say
we are going to BABA YARA. "
Ashantis have kept quiet for long. At times people
who are not Ashantis make unkind tribal
comments, because they made those remarks in
good twi language, Ashantis take the fall even
though the speaker might not be an Ashanti.
NDC, Keep on turning tribes against each other for
political gains, you will wake up one day to find
Ghana burnt down to ashes.

Instead of tearing him apart, let's ask if the assertions in his statements are true. Why should people who do not have any resources to contribute to the progress of this country be at the helm of the affairs I the country and be looting and amassing wealth at expense of those contributing to the development of this country?
If the looting stops then such sentiments will not be relevant in this present dispensation.

It's a fact that about 90% of Ghana's resources are concentrated in the Akan area, but unfortunately both past governments and recent ones have not satisfactorily shared the national cake fairly.
This is very true and disheartening when you compare the greater number of districts in the Volta region to the smaller number of districts in the Western region.
I'm calling on hard-core NPP supporters who often make mean comments about fellow Akans for the roll they've played in breaking up the Akan family the great disadvantage of their own party and people. They should sit down and think.

This Michelin-like fellow must be another hog. Personally, I would willingly welcome the idea of Ghana breaking up along tribal lines so that each tribe becomes a nation on its own, and those who have can enjoy their resources while those without suffer in abject poverty and penury.
I can bet my last cowrie here that the seemingly poor regions with no known mineral resources can equally survive in their poverty. The ball is now in the court of the supremacists and I dare them to take the plunge (declare an Akan republic), and others will follow.

The Mahama-led NDC gov't and it's apologists should be more concerned in a country and under their tenure, when kids say/sing his name and respond with dumsor/failure.
As a party and gov't, they should be very afraid when John Mahama's name is synonymous with the worst power crisis that reverberates and echoes throughout the economy and affects every single facet of it, education in this case students who cannot learn during prep hours because there is no power leading to the erosion of any meaningful progress if any, made with respect to the attainment of quality standards, health where the power crisis is leading to the loss of lives on a scale and at a rate involving premature babies, infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, adults, the elderly akin to a nuclear detonation, industry collapsing, folding up and crumbling like a pack of dominoes, unemployment further worsened by the loss of jobs arising from the power crisis and industry laying off hired hands in droves, manufacturing collapsing as a result of the power crisis, tax revenue that would have accrued to the state dwindling as a result of industries, small and medium scale enterprises crumbling, an increasing security threat from the lack of goods and services arising from the power crisis, export earnings falling as a result of production deficits and shortfalls arising from the power crisis, the economy consequently contracting leading to increased gov't borrowing, hyperinflation, high interest rate, falling and depreciating currency, etc,etc.
Ephson and his NDC apologists should be very worried because these matters goes to the very core of the survival of the citizenry, it is a daily experience, the citizenry are living it, that is their reality across every strata of socio-economic status, that is their mainstream across the length and breadth of the country, in every nook and cranny, village, city and hamlet.
In any case is there any merit in the alleged statement of Osafo Marfo?
A careful and in-depth analysis of the statement brings to the fore one fundamental and extremely indicting fact of the Mahama-led NDC gov't, which is the grotesque failure, incompetence and mismanagement by the Mahama NDC gov't has triggered a situation where, allegedly, based on the statement of Osafo Marfo, the case is being made for better management of the resources of the country by those who see majority of the collective resources of Ghanaians being squandered and mismanaged by the few.
It is a crisis of confidence, it is a crisis of credibility, it is a crisis of competence, it is a crisis of aptitude, it is a crisis of leadership, it is a crisis of vision, it is a crisis of intelligence because were it not to be the case, indeed, there would be no problem because the principles of equity as demanded of excellent governance would be felt as a collective, by the citizenry, irrespective of the concentration of resources.
There is a crisis of leadership and a crisis of confidence in the governance ability of the Mahama-led NDC gov't and that would cost the Mahama-led NDC gov't in 2016.
If Epshon would be true to the facts he would recall the Western region Chiefs recently had cause to complain bitterly that a chunk of the resources of the country comes from the Western region, however it was the least developed. They called for a 10% allocation of funds from the oil and gas resource to their region alone.
And this is where it gets interesting, they also said ie the Western region chiefs, they would not allow the Volta region to make any demands for any oil resource found in their region.
I would not go further to talk off the raging inferno in the NDC party itself, concerning the political permutations and dynamics, because what this shows clearly is that, Ghana is suffering from a crisis of competence, crisis of leadership, crisis of confidence, crisis of credibility and the principle of equity demanded of governance is out of the window and with it, goes the Mahama-led NDC gov't at the ballot box in 2016.

It seems that politics in Ghana is full of propaganda and jokes instead of the people business.I see a Country reeling in corruptions ,lacks basic amenities like electricity and water, intrested in trivial issues,and making
a case by every means possible to pull a wool over the eyes of the people. All these developments are signs of underdeveloped Media or Weak Journalism,which seeks to create litigation all in the name of political affiliation, instead to educate the people on the way forward,their right in Democratic dispensation,the Loopholes in the Ghana Constitution to the advantage of incumbent etc.
If Hon Osafo Maafo said that,What is Wrong with it ; is that not the Truth on the ground ! Again,are most people in positions of authority (CEO's and govt
appointees) not people from the Northern Ghana where the present leadership(Mahama) comes from !
Why is the Media adamant to point it out. So,the question is : Is the Blackman capable of managing his own affairs,devoid of prejudice, malice and favoritism as exhibited by the present clueless leadership ? Anyway

Who can please lecture me on this "y3n Akanfo saga? Who is/is not Akan? Boahen vaguely defines the Akan group with the lens of his own idiosyncrasies. One of the kings of the Ashantis, Osei Tutu recruited handsomely built and light skinned Northerners to have relations with the daughters of the Ashantis and bear sons and daughters to them because he saw his Asanti subjects too short, ugly and too dark. The preferable handsome, tall and light sinned offspring that the
recruited Northerners bore to the Ashantis, how can they be classified? The Ashantis themselves know perfectly well that there are distinctive marks between the "pure" Ashantis and those who have mixed blood with the Northerners. My point is that those who make blatant noise about this "y3n Akanfo" saga may not be after all Akans per se. Marfo's great great grand father may have been recruited to have relations with his great great grandmother. If Sarfo Marfo did make such an irresponsible statement, he's revisiting the slogan of the NPP slogan of "y3n Akanfo" which may have cost them dearly during the last election. The tribal politics of division,superciliousness must belong to the shameful era of the NLM and the UP. I'd suggest to those who make the "y3n Akanfo" utterance check their Family Tree. Who are the Akans anyway? Does Sarfo Marfo have a clear definition of the Akan word ? Throw some light on it.

GO JOHANNESBURG IN SOUTH AFRICA, GO TO ABERDEEN IN UK AND SEE HOW THESE CITIES HAVE BUILT DUE TO THE RESOURCES THAT COME FROM THERE. OSAFO MARFO SAID IT RIGHT. DONT ALLOW ANY PERSON FROM SOMWHERE TO DISTRACT YOU ON YOUR PRIVILEGES. THE NDC ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
EVERYDAY NEW TAPES COME OUT JUST TO DISTURB THE PUBLIC PEACE. WHAT IS STRANGE ABOUT SOMETHING WHICH EVERYBODY INCLUDING THE GAS, THE NORTHERN PEOPLE, THE VOLTA, ARE AWARE OF?
HE WAS SAYING THE RESOURCES SHOULD BE USED ONLY IN THOSE REGIONS, BUT THAT THE MANAGEMENT OF THEM SHOULD BE OF THE PEOPLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IT IS NPP OR CPP OR NDP OR PPP OR NDC THE AKANS SHOULD BE IN CHARGE, SIMPLE.
THE AKANS SHOULD AFTER ALL THEY ARE IN THE MAJORITY. IF ALL THE DECIDE TO VOTE FOR AN AKAN LED PARTY DO YOU THINK NDC COULD EVER COME TO POWER? NO IS THE ANSWER. I SUPPORT MR OSAFO MARFO 100 PER CERT.
I KNOW MY PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH, IF WE WERE IN THE MAJORITY JUST LIKE THE AKANS IN THIS COUNTRY, WE WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

Comment to: Osafo Marfo's tribal comments could cost NPP 2016 elections
Every Ghanaians has got the right to speak their mind, esp. if they feel disappointed in the way the NDC and gov't is using ethnic or tribal tactics to divide the country, subdue Ghanaians and destroy the harmony and peaceful co-existence of the citizens. This has been the hidden agenda; it's been swept under the carpet for a long time.
Folks who've read some of my posting here on Ghanaweb would now understand my point. Mr. Rawlings' AFRC/P-NDC regime had a hidden agenda. Their perceived notion of the Akan dominance in Ghana's business and general being is what drove them to execute many people of the Akan decent. For 19yrs many Akan tribes people became target Rawlings' AFRC/P-NDC gov't and were subjected to all forms of humiliation, suppression, torture, confiscation of property and intimidation. For those soldiers who suffered harassment, murder and abuse and those whose friends and families were eliminated either from office or physically in the various ranks in the Armed Forces and Police etc, there couldn't have been a better time for them to tell their story other than the National Reconciliation Period granted by Kuffour's gov't.
All Akan tribes people who held high gov't or civil positions where removed and replaced by Ewes or other tribes people because Rawlings thought it was right to do so. Folks should look around or research and see what' going on in gov't right now. Today almost every important positions are being held by either Ewes. Every Ghanaians has the right to occupy positions he/she qualifies for.
NDC is so crafty and cunning that they're the very ones who'd cry foul when tribal equality issues are raised. So I'm not surprised at all for Ben Ephson to publish this in support or stand on the wrong side. This tricky national issue needs to be tackled once and for all!
These are the reasons why they [NDC]wish that Nana Akufo-Addo never becames president. Ghana has to engage in a dialogue on this dangerous tribal issue, else we're going nowhere. Mr. Osafo Marfo is speaking the truth!
People like him who are brave or have the courage to voice out these concerns that could trigger violence or tear our country apart, rather tend to get the bash for speaking up. A word to the wise, is enough

NDC III is now party of friends and families and not even a regional party exclusive to Mahama and his cronies. He does not take Ghana seriously. Time for elections and he should count on his northern regions to vote for him and United Ghana will vote for Akuffo Addo; and let the votes decide. Sarfo Marfo is right. Ghanaians must wake up against this national division brought about by Mahama and his so called southern domination of Ghana. Which people are footing all the liabilities of northern regions? Is it not United Ghana? Go to hell, NDC. We are fed up with your tribalism.

USELESS BEN EPHSON,another useless man has open his 360 degrees mouth just 2 a shit, look at him,ghanians will never vote 4 this incompetent leader(mahama) again. so useless ben should keep mute.
U see? NPP will continue be in this sorry state with goat headed men leading their illiterate followers astray. Your Akyem Akuffo Addo, the tribal warlord can't win election for U this diatribe NPP.long live Nkrumah's Ghana
Sing a new tune, this one is rather old to the ear. Tribalism,ethnicity, Nana Addo's height, age, habits are all old stuff that have been overflogged.
What is your response to GYEEDA, SUBAH, Dumsor etc
This guy always think about how NDC will win power not how Ghana is going through. Please think about Ghana a bit not NDC election.
Can NDC and Ben Ephson come out and prove to the whole world that Politcal appointments in their goverment are regionally ballanced? Where in the democratic world apart from Africa are regional,tribal and ethnic ballance not ...

Ndc come to power all the time and there are myraid of problems affecting the country. why must we contain them again, whether there's a tribal comment made or not, we are voting big time for NPP or CPP AND NOT ndc.
Those are natural resources that have been developed by human brain that are not necessarily from those regions. Besides no one knows what is buried in the earth in other regions yet. He also needs to be educated to know that ...

Yes most Ghanaians are ashamed that a man of Osafo Marfo's stature would spew such vernon. Well That is the true colors of UP, PP, PFP & NPP (Ma te me ho) tradition.
HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS IN GHANA :
So Simple, Just Tag NPP as Akan (Ashanti) Party.

Mr BEN site in room make mouth,mouth either he said or not we are no light ,corruption in NDC we will vote them out. No cheap politics we will do fact
Ghanaians know that NDC & NPP are parties for Ewes/Mpepefuo and Akans respectively.How many Ewes and Mpepefuo are in this govt and yet they have the nerve to chastise NPP with tribalism.NPP must go on the offensive.
There is no fool like an educated fool. KWASIA

Use of tribal bigotory language is bad but Ghanaians must not decide their future based on unstantiated sources. Today Ghana is in crises and I personally wonder if Ben is not himself tribalistic. Though I am not accusing him ...
