Kweks, are you trying to say that the one who is very concerned about the foolishness going on amongst Ga Chiefs is rather the one who is a coward?
Let me tell you that the stupidity of these Ga Chiefs has the capacity to make all other traditional authorities in the country as well as all Ghanaians look foolish to the outside world.
When another idiotic Chief in South Africa instigated xenophobic attacks on other Africans, people have even forgotten that the nonsense was started by a Chief. The whole world is now accusing all Black South Africans for the mayhem.
If you are a Ga Im very sorry for you because these same Ga Chiefs of yours have cheaply sold out all viable lands in Accra, leaving the Ga people confused, poor and miserable.
The only reason that these jokers now appear to be fighting to be chiefs is to earn undeserved respect and prestige in the public domain. There can be no other sensible reason left as to why anybody in his right mind, would want to be a Ga chief. Aba! What nonsense is this? What they really need is some caning on their backsides. All of them.

YOU THINK THAT SUSUKA SHOULD HAVE REFERRED HIS CONCERN TO THE TRADITIONAL RULERS ONLY.

Chieftaincy issues are the greatest obstacles facing African Chiefs every now and then. But anyway, let me put a stop here and hoping the Providence will one day open the gate of WISDOM and we will all pass through and become one: and forget about all these Reptilian Nonsense.

All these infighting between the various factions is all because the Gas people were settlers on Akwamu land. The Akwamus were a very powerful state and they are the actual owners of the land that the Gas, who were fishermen from Nigeria just like the Hausa's who formed Zongos in every town , are now claiming is theirs.
When the powerful Akwamus fought the Dutch people and lost, all their men were enslaved and shipped out as slaves to the Americas by the Dutch. The rest of them fled across the River Volta to Akwamufie where they currently live.
After the Dutch left Ghana,the only people left occupying the Accra plains were the Ga settlers and they took advantage of the generousity of the Akwamus and claimed the lands for themselves. Secondly,the Akwamus had very few men left to fight the Gas for their land.
That's is the main reason why so many different Ga clans lay claim to the same piece of land in Accra.After the Dutch left, it was a free for all with regards to land ownership.In fact it was survival of the fittest because the actual owners of the land in Accra,which is the Akwamus, had all been shipped out as slaves and there was nobody there to get the land back.
The few Akwamus who were brave enough to return to their land have those Akan names.

What you just said is a can of worms that no one wants to open.
The Gas were ,like you said, were settlers just like the Hausas were who were given pieces of land on the outskirts of the towns to live on.
The war between the Akwamus and the Dutch left a huge power vacuum which the Gas took advantage of when the Dutch left impromptly.
The chieftaincy of the Gas is rotated between the six 'Zongos' which the Akwamus allowed to settle on their lands.
It was the late General Kutu acheampong who created the confusion as to who should be the King of the Gas. He assumed Nii Amugi was the King of the Gas because he was King of Ga Mashie not knowing that there was a difference between Ga Mantse and Ga Mashie Manste.
The king of the Gas is actually rotated amongst the six houses but other people are trying to manupulate it for their own benefit.

Why are you a jss boy? Don't you know GH history? First of ga mantse is not the paramount chief or king of all gas. He is the leader among equals of the six divisions I.e gamashie,tema, ,Osu, teshie, la and nungua.All these divisions have their paramount chief just like the gamanste of gamashie mostly known as the gamanste. Gamanste has no authority over the other ga paramounts.Gas form of government was based on akan system because gas traditionally did not have mantse but wulormor- the chief priest who was the leader thru the migration period. As to why there are names like ageman kese etc calling themselves gas is because in history desendants of some akans settled in ga put Nii behind their names and called themselves gas or became quarters (we) . Ga coatal area at that time was a big trading post with the Europeans and with tribal wars all around i think some flee to have that protection and Hope that gives you some needed history knowledge. The gamashie problem now is that they chose a not too liked leader some time ago during the npp era who was deposed. Now the deposed leader's faction want revenge. So it will become a cycle. Gas in history have never been a united force, generally lack self pride and are can be highly infilterated that is why to date the chiefs have sold all the lands, the language and culure are dieing. The last dice is theses chieftency issues which by the way is not gamashie alone but at all the other paramounts.

In my opinion, the best way forward for the nation would be to ABOLISH chiefstainship. They are the causes of almost all the disputes arising throughout the country. Ghana is no more living in the 13th. century, and the constitution must guide all to enhance the rule of law. We still live in a country where the chiefs sell the lands meant for the people, but when an issue arises, they all flock to the law courts, so the question is, what are the use of all those so called chiefs?

As far as Asante is concerned the govermental courts are not responsible.Infortunately we are not living in the great olden times where our ancestors established highly advanced systems of governance, built beautifully arranged townships and states and provided abundant wealth for its subjects. Today we are confronted with abject poverty and all kind of hardships caused by this silly colonial construct called "Republic of Ghana". No where outside Africa you will come across a centralized Republic built on foreign values, because its only suitable for colonial rulers.

Damnn ASSENE clan which I m bonafide memeber is an AKAN CLAN.
Then they use ::GYASEHENE" an AKAN WORD...so why all these aparent disregards of GAS for ASHANTIS AND OTHER AKANS?

This outdated institution of chietaincy is the source of many problems and conflicts in Ghana. Tribes with no clear lines of succession often see violence from competing factions looking to install one of their members as the next chief/king. Absent a line of succession, violence will once again revisit when time comes for another king to be installed.

What goes round comes round. Adama Latse (fireman) ejected the Late Joe Blankson from the same Palace in the same fashion. The lettered late king died sadly and was buried in the UK. A taste of his medicine.
Nii Adama Latse be charged, at least, for the period he occupied the residency, and it shall serve as a deterrence to future and FAKE claimants to the Mantse Yeli. It shall also bring discipline and respect the outdated CULTU ...

Will the government of the land knock some sense into these goons of apologies? Why can't Gas draw a line of distinction with regards to who should occupy that good for nothing seat? Let me dare say that should the feuding f ...

If it doesn't look very nice for outsiders then they surely don't need such an accompanying commentary.With that said can these people get their act together?

All these infighting between the various factions is all because the Gas people were settlers on Akwamu land. The Akwamus were a very powerful state and they are the actual owners of the land that the Gas, who were fishermen ...

The truth hurts isn't it.Go and read about your history and add some english lessons too because you need it.
What you just said is a can of worms that no one wants to open.
The Gas were ,like you said, were settlers just like the Hausas were who were given pieces of land on the outskirts of the towns to live on.

what is it with Ga people that you cannot have an intelligent debate without them raining insults on people ? It probablythe only way they know how to communicate !!!! Damn !!!A crackhead won't even come close.
THIS IS VERY TRUE THAT GAS ARE CLOSELY LINKED WITH AKANS THAN WITH ANY OTHER TRIBE IN GHANA. A LOOK AT THE ANCESTRY AND CULTURAL CONNECTIONS, AS WELL AS NAMES WILL BEAR TESTAMENT TO THESE FACTS.
This is all they do. Steeped in primitive tradition as they live in filth and poverty. Eii, te wor be fee ten ke yaka gbemen neee? Over to you Presby Moderator. Tell them your piece of mind.
I am going through the names being mentioned here. Is the Ga Mantse stool and people an extraction from the Akan people or something? Almost all the names and their traditional structures are pure Akan or some form of corrupt ...

I love it when my peole are disgracing themselves, I think the government should abolish chieftain u in Accra. The only true kings are the likes of Otumfour. The Great Asantehene who has so much wisdom and respected globally.
Nii, I'm not a JSS boy. Just that I am not well versed in Ga history. Thanks for taking your time to educate me here. I appreciate it. However, it will be better for you to address those who seek to know you and your people b ...

The Gas did not have any overall king like the Asantes . It was after independence that Kwame Nkrumah , in his attempt to create a rival king to the Asantehene, put pressure on the Gas to have a king. Their first king was Ni ...

I suggest that whoever is interested in being the Ga Mantse should be well-read. So if you are not you should keep off the stool. Its long time we appointed the right calibre of royals.
Ghanaians will be better off without this useless institution. Countless lives and properties have been lost due to this primitive institution.
Good Riddance. Lets start the Homowo on a good note. Not fake.
point of correction,we don't have a gyasehene but rather gyaasetse.....I stand to be corrected.
OOOH so when will Gas learn a lesson from Akans or Northerners? It is a shame that Gas cannot think wisely when it comes to Ruling issues. All they know is Kenkey and shitto. Fooooools

What do you want the Gas to learn from the Northerners, irrespective of the confusion in the Ga state, not even a hair is lost, be it the North, I bet you Ghana will be like Syria. Anyemime, mi salute nye ojongbaaaa!!!

In my opinion, the best way forward for the nation would be to ABOLISH chiefstainship. They are the causes of almost all the disputes arising throughout the country. Ghana is no more living in the 13th. century, and the const ...
