Nonsense, as a minister, whatever portfolio, if you've done nothing for them yet, why should they expect any better now. Blatant tribalistic appeal for votes like JDM, then it's back to Accra and they're forgotten

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!!!

My good friend Koffi Abas you miss the point. You see Europe i far advanced and trust me to stay in that part of the world makes you a better person in comparison to the Ghanaian who has not traveled. In Europe systems work therefore anyone be he a toilet cleaner as you say or a manager must be a methodical person. The system educates you and makes you become very structured in your thinking. Trust me a toilet cleaner in Ghana will do much better than many of our leaders and managers in Ghana today. Fact is if Ghanaians are willing to learn they can learn a thing or 2 from those who have stayed in Europe. Life will be much much better for us if we learn to do that.

On behalf of the gentle hard working man Hon. Murtala , I will like to extend his apologies to his Excellency President Mahama and the great NDC PARTY to receive this sincere apologies in a good faith. Let us treat this issue psychologically and move as a team. I will like to use this opportunity to advise all the NDC members and it sympathizers to buckle up to face Nana Akanfuo Buhari Binaddo in 2016 to retire him from Ghana politics entirely. Every NDC members must keep it in mind that , 2016 is a critical year for all of us to work hard to prove ourselves again to Ghana and the entire world that , the 2012 elections is 120% free and fairly , but the Akan's Npp proceeded to Supreme Court with a BOGUS pink sheets to OVER TURN our hard earn VOTE. My good people of NDC , let us come together and prove these domestic terrorists Npp wrong once again in 2016 to VOTE massively to retain our GOD fearing President Mahama in office. NDC must remember that we have full control over the 8 humble Regions out of 10 in Ghana which we should NOT play games with 2016. NDC ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!. Long live NDC, long live GHANA.

As much as I consider this unguarded statement from Segbefia as a goof, and thus foolish, simply because of the misinterpretations and connotations that can be read into it, I do not consider it as grounds for another round to unleash insults on poor Ewes. I am quite sure Segebefia didn't make that statement with Ewes in mind, as he is very much aware of the complex ethnic diversity of the VR, and so was under the impression that he wasn't making a tribalistic statement. But it carries hints of favouritism for the VR.

Besides, must the people of the VR approach him before he does something about the deplorable state of our health institutions and the acute shortage of staff in them, even though it is claimed 70% of health personnel in Ghana come from the VR???

The VR has such a wide spread of ethnic groups of which Ewes are just one; just so as Akans, Adangmes and the many minor linguistic groups such as Bala, Lelemi, Santrokofi, Chokosi. Nchumburu, Nkonya, Konkombas, etc., etc. In view of the foregoing, I consider those viewing Segbefia's statement as tribalistic as rather the people with an ethnocentric perception. He mentioned "regional balance" as the basis for his selection. maybe we can accuse him of "regionalism".

However, I take a distance from his claim too. Even though the Constitution mentions that regional balance should be taken into acct. when appointing Ministers, competency and qualification count also. I'd preferred to be appointed on my merit rather than fill an imaginary quota for a region. That's why I considered it a goof when a statement was issued saying the current Min. of Housing, Dr Oteng or so, was appointed into the Cabinet and Dzifa dropped to fulfill a regional balance for Ash/R, not long after the outburst by the Asantehene. They could have said it was done because of the importance govt wants to attach to the housing shortage problem.

Can the daft NDC leaders stop making these can of statements and save us kind from grief?

I have stated over and over again that MAJORITY EWES ARE THE BANE OF OUR GHANAIAN SOCIETY.

When I wrote recently about irresponsible statements from the former Supreme Court Judge, FRANCIS KPEGAH, who had stated on record that if NPP were to come into power, " MOST OF US WOULD SUFFER", you Andy attacked me that the IDIOT KPEGAH NEVER MADE SUCH STATEMENT.

Now to cover your shame, you are again trying to defend this SILLY SEGBEFIA with the reason that THERE IS NO TRIBE CALLED VOLTARIAN. But in the Books of you INWARD LOOKING EWES, THERE IS A TRIBE CALLED AKANS!!!!

You are now saying that if AKANS attacked this SILLY SEGBEFIA, it means we have "ethnocentric perception".

The contention is that they have far more important things to spend their time on!

No, we Ewes are well informed, so we know that there is an ethnic group now designated officially as "Akan", that's, since the Bonduku Conference. Ah! I see you don't have a clue!

I am really offended as an ewe to read this from Segbefia...a whole public figure in 2015. If we were to think along the basis of regional balance, then where will this country end? This is stupidity to say the least. We all jumped on Osafo Marfo for purportedly making a shameless statement along tribal lines. Now an incoming minister of health who is supposed to represent the interest of all GHanaians is now asking his Volta folks to use him? Use him for what? Why don't you send all the medical supplies to volta region and Togo then. Mahama, what kind of people are you considering?Is this because of 2016 election year? Statements like this will come back to hurt Volta region in the end. Wake up GHanainans. We should not allow politicians to use tribal politics to their advantage. They should think of all GHanaians and not a few. Shame on you Segbefia. Fiafitor.......Mawu forgive you.

Ghana will continue to hear such stupid statements from the current power holders from the north and volta regions because the other regions have been relegated to the background and silenced. These two regions have succeeded to cajole Ghanaians into believing that any opposition to ndc is 'Ashanti made' and should be disregarded or condemned. The voltarians are notorious for their 'Nye bro' or inward-looking, and for one of their own to come out and openly declare that they should use him while he is on office is a great opportunity for them to exhibit their inward looking credentials to the highest order. In the first place, the Ministry of Health is going to be turned into the Ministry of volta tribesmen so that their agenda could be fulfilled.

Alex Segbefia's choice of words may be clumsy but what he seems to be saying is that as a native of Volta region , his people should feel free and approach him for any burning issues.This applies to other regions as well who will not hesitate to do so.No one disputes the fact that the Volta region is neglected as far as distribution of resources in the country is concerned yet the ewe people are the brains in every sphere of life in the economic academic and strategic development of Ghana.Unfortunately the Ewes are used to the fact that every successive governments neglects the region and they have stopped asking for things.The headlines sounds outrageous but read deeper into what the honourable minister designate is trying to tell his people and stop your tribalistic nonsense.

Since when has the ewe become superior to all the different ethnic groups in Ghana. It is always sickening to hear ewes use this nonsense to justify their criminal activities when it comes to hiring people at the work place.

AKANS must rise up and face this threat from these inward looking trokossi criminals who are bent on creating an ewe hegemony.

JCL 'the headlines sounds outrageous'; and it is really outrageous because you people are notorious for your inward-looking attitude. Does he really need to come out with that stupid statement if he wants to help his people. Is there no civilize way to help them without coming out with this tribalistic statement. Have you forgotten that the voltarians had the golden opportunity to improve themselves and their region during the pndc long rule. As usual most of the strategic ministries and corporations were all headed by voltarians. What did the so-called 'brains in every sphere of life in the economic, academic and strategic' wizards do for their region. They chose to live their cozy lives outside the volta region for reasons best known to them.

I can understand if an MP speaks to his constituents like this. Extending this to his Region amounts to what should never be said or done. By the way as Minister of Health what does he want the people in the Volta Region to use him for? And by the way is he saying that the Volta Region is poorer than the Northern Region or Upper West or Upper East or the Western Region? How can he complain that successive governments have neglected the Volta Region when a person from the Volta Region has been the head of government for about 18 continuous years.

Distinguished commentators. Let's avoid tribalism because it kills more that aids or ebola.I cannot understand why we have South and North KETU Districts in the former Gold Coast Colony(now Ghana). KETU is a name of a TOWN in TOGOLAND(now Republic of Togo)This is very confusing. I had once put this question to Alex Segbefia himself but he was unable to give the answer. There used to be KETA District in the GCC but not KETU.Ewe Historians should provide the answer. I believe Alex was telling us that Voltorians must count on him for the development of the volta region and that he would not fail then as did by his elder brother JJ who ruled Ghana for 20 years with noticeable developments.

The Ewes in fact are people least likely to use their positions to do anything for their region. They had Rawlings for donkey years and the region remains one of the least developed regions in the south. In the heat of adulation from your people, you may say certain things. But I doubt if Segbefia meant in effect he will favor the region. The evidence is there for everyone to see. Voting massively for the NDC has brought nothing to the region. I bet Akuffo Addo, if he wins, will do more for Volta than any Voltarian politician has done for the region. Take this from an Ewe.

An old man and woman in the Volta Region were married for years even though they hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screams and yelling could be heard deep into the night. A constant statement was heard by the neighbors who feared the man the most.

"When I die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was feared and enjoyed the respect it garnished.

He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had a closed casket. After the burial, the wife went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.

The gaiety of her actions were becoming extreme while her neighbors approached in a group to ask these questions: Are you not afraid? Concerned? Worried? that this man who practiced black magic and stated when he died he would dig his way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life?

The wife put down her drink and said, "Let the jerk dig. I had him buried upside down.

UN approach to service for Africa is what is needed. Africa has almost one thousand nations, otherwise called tribes, as though Africa is Israel founded on tribes.

The UN family of nations is built on 193 states and the specialised agencies. Anybody in the service of the UN and any of the specialised agencies does not have to boast of their national identities but only work for the benefit of the people of the UN.

The same must be the focus of any Minister of any Government in Africa of many nations in one state.

Many educated people in Ghana and Africa are confused about their true focus in the service of their country.

The statement was made by the late Nye bro Kofi Awoonor Williams, former chairman of the council of state who made the controversial claim that the purpose of Rawlings Dec 31, 1981 coup was to change the Akan hegemony to an Ewe hegemony. Whatever that means.
The spirit of Ghana is either dead, dying or in a drunken stupor because there are many politicians running the affairs of the state whose loyalty to their tribe supercedes loyalty to the nation. The funny thing is those who are always pointing accusing fingers and bad mouthing others as tribalistic are the ones who are most guilty of the evil they accuse others of. If Segbefia's contemptuous and inward looking statement was made by the wrong man, an Akan NPP minister, the sky would have fallen down by now m and broken to pieces.

Some of you just compare things that are not the same. The Senators are voted for to represent their states and as such, they can say that because the interest of their states are the reason why they are there the same thing goes for members of house of representatives who represent their districts or constituency. They are voted to represent these district for the sole purpose of bringing development to their districts.

A Secretary of labour or Housing in USA which we call a Minister of housing or Labour cannot say I am from Colorado or Oregon so people from that state is what I represent.

When you are appointed to a position, you represent the whole nation, not a region or town so you cannot discriminate against any region. If a member of Parliament from Keta says you have to use me to get developmental projects to Keta, that will be appropriate and not tribalistic because that is what the people from Keta voted for him to do, to represent their interests.

We already know what Segbefia is ready to do for Voltarians. Not only was he part of the conspiracy that helped Woyome to steal 51 million GHc, but he also staunchly defended him insisting in numerous interviews that Woyome had a contract that was wrongfully abrogated. In any other country where a high sense of moral principles prevail, with the SC ruling against Woyome, Segbefia would not have been given another appointment in government. But this is NDC Ghana where tribe and party are the only things that matter.

Awoonor advised Ewes not to bother about putting up an Ewe as President, but to concentrate on getting the NDC to power and keeping it in power. "Don't think it is only the Ashantis who don't like us" he is reported to have told them. "The other tribes think we a very clannish, but they were attracted to the NDC because of Jerry Rawlings. They do not really see the Ewe in him. A full-blooded Ewe will never be trusted by other tribes, so forget it! Put a Northerner there, Nzema, Fante, or any other tribe and ensure NDC wins power and the country will be ours. Just ensure that no Ashanti or Akyem becomes Predient, whatever it takes. " This was Awoonor's prescription for Ewe hegemony.

Mr. Segbefia, your statement that people from the Volta Region should consider to take advantage of you and your office because you are from the Volta Region and one of them, is abhorrent, tribal and insult to the Ghanaian Intelligence. It would be understandable and ok. if you were a Volta Region Minister. But, as Ghana Minister of Health, your focus and responsibility transcends tribal and Regional affiliation and allegiance. Your focus and responsibility is to do the best within your capability for the nation as a whole. So, for you to show your intention and affinity for solving the Volta Region health system first, before and at the expense of all other Regions medical issues is shameful, sad and despicable. Such kind of inward looking attitude is a worst thing to do as the country's Minister of Health.

Use me while I’m in office; Segbefia tells Voltarians
