The day your writers such as Okoampa, Akadu, Adofo, Katakyie and co stop reminding all Ghanaians in their articles that the NPP belong to all Ghanains and not Akans alone there will be no need for this article.
Ghanaians are not stupid. Even if most are not within power cycle and dont know what is going on we can atleast read the articles online and the divisive comments in the media.

No Ghanaian I believe has that thinking except for few of you authors who think and believe in this line of vote pattern.
I can tell you if Kronfuor Kuffuor had not 'tribalized' and allowed Ethnocentrism to cloud his leadership then, The Ghanaian Jews and others would have by now changed their voting pattern for not against NPP.
We still and shall always remember the obvious, consistent and persistent accolades and preferences given to asantehene under Kuffour ignoring other KINGS in GHANA.
Yawose, if you are blind enough to have forgotten the plain tribalism, bigotry which went under Kuffuor, I put it to you that most of us have not forgotten.
If Akuffo Addo is struggling to become president of Ghana, then you know that it was the maladroit administration of Kuffuor.
And don't tell me under him it was his making the saw the huge economic growth in Ghana rather than most industries relocating to Ghana because of Rawlings PEACE and STABILITY which was bearing fruit.

During the last year or so its has become clear to almost every child the ethnocentric racist anti Akan vicious propaganda directed mainly against the innocent Ashanti and Akyems .Even here on this forum we witness the daily insults , defamation and systematic character assination of any Akan leader who dares raise his voice to cry foul. The Akans lead by the Fantis are fighting back just as they in the early 90's with prof eduboahen and this happened last year after the murder of Mills. these ewe and northerners think if they bribe a few paramount chiefs and buy off Akuffo Addo as they have done they can go back to the business of looting the coffers but not so . They are overwhelmed by the resistance which is being lead by the family heads and the clans . since most the people here writing under false Akan names dont see the difference continue to harass the ashantis and akyems who by the way rarely ever contribute anything to this forum . this prof awonoor has mislead his people into a war they will surely loose , battle after battle they are pounded and bashed , the sophistication of their devious divide and rule strategy has been exposed and backfired ,today the Akans are more united than ever so much so the the Ashantis and akyems no more participate but are standing on the sidelines watching as they are surprised at the fury and determination of the rest of the Akans to rid themselves of this yoke of oppression. Akans will never peacefully accept to be second class citizens like the Indians in Latin America and fight the hegemony and tribalism with these same tools rather than just brushing it off and pretending it doesn't exist . the battle-lines have been drawn in the minds of every Ghanian and as things escalate the business of governance is slowly grinding to a halt soon from verbal warfare we move to open rejection of the govt of the day which will most likely end up in true war . we can not build and develop a sustainable economy if the ayigbe and pepeni can only be focused on the destruction of the Akans and looting the wealth of the nation , sadly when we say this all they say is that their hate is justified and their time has come to chop some . let it be known Akans make up almost 70% of the population, have 90% of the wealth and natural resources and that this govt that practically has less than 10% Akan participation is illegitimate and even the foreign banks and investors have noticed this and are withdrawing , the rest like the Chinese , Indians , Muslim Lebanese and Turkish will soon risk never being paid . billions have been borrowed but nobody has seen any benefits but it has ended up in the bottomless pits of the greed of the ndc pepeni and ayigbe . we propose secession as a peaceful exit to this mess , if persuasion fails force will be applied , long live the republic of Akan

I share your passion and man, you are right on points."Malign the Ashantis and win the other tribes, else the Ashantis win all the time" seems to be the NDC mantra for political campaign.Can Ghana progress without the Ashantis? of course not, a tribe that alone constitutes over 22% of the entire population of Ghana cannot be ruled out of the political game. But what do we see in Ghana today? Mahama has put only northerners in all key government positions and if he thinks that he is helping his ethnic group by so doing, then he is joking, he is rather whipping sentiments against them. In the long run, they same would be hated for attempting to dominate the majority tribe. In all countries where the minority rules the majority, there is no peace. Ghana must learn this

Minority tribes(Ewes and Northerners) are very ungrateful to Ghana. No tribe, since Ghana's independence from the British, has benefited more from the national cake than Ewes and Northerners, yet they blame the majority( Ashanti's in particular) for the economic woes of the nation when even the records show that for well over 50 years after independence the minority has had more than 70% chance of ruling. It all stated with Nkrumah when he gave free education to the entire North at the expense of hard working majority through whose cocoa farming industry the free education was made possible. Nkrumah, as a means to make himself the life president, thus the declaration of a one party state, saw the need to break the united front of Ashantis and the other minority tribes. He thereby decided to redemarcate the regions which saw parts of Ashanti region fall into the territorial jurisdiction of Brong and Central regions. Divide and rule was the order of the day. And what was more risible was the fact that when Nkrumah divided Ghana, he was busily trotting around the Globe rallying for continental Africa unity. What is more hypocritical than that.
Then came the turn of Rawlings who also made the Ashantis his target while pursuing the divide and rule tactics. Rawlings regime saw all scholarships go to the Ewes and Northerners for the near 20 years of his autocratic rule. He made sure the heads of all state institutions were his tribesmen. The then 3-state Universities( Legon, Tech and Capevas) all had Ewes as Vice Chancelors).
And for Mahama only God knows what the fate of Ghana would be for next three years ahead. Talk about the 250 cuban scholarships, the Azontaba Farm project, the 80 million worth of gold ore that landed in Turkey, the fishy deal of acquiring the Brazilian embraer air planes, the rot at GYEEDA, you name them. My heart breeds for Fantis, Bonos, the Nzemas, the Gas who, just like the Ashantis, are denied their fair share of Ghana's largesse except the greedy few Akans in the NDC( Asidu Nketia, Tony Aidoo, Ahwois, Boateng Gyan, Afari Gyan, PV Obengs, etc). Wake up Akans, for Ewes and The North minority are taking us for a ride.

The Democrati Party in the USA appeals to the poor, Labor, gay, immigrants, Hispanics , white, black and the youth. Is this not simple to what the NDC does?
Elections are also about strategy. About simbollsm. On the most important day in Ghana's history, Nkrumah wore an outfit that identified him with a section of the country. It was a clever move and a window to his heart. That has never been lost. Let us preach peace and unity.

Your party both in the past and present has unlike the NDC felt that it is only Akans who are worthy of leadership as confirmed by Nana Akuffo-Addo.
In the recent elections, your party won in two Akan regions. If this is not a deep ethnocentric party, I wonder what else we can call it.

AS if you were in my mind John. I have always been telling people that this very sad situation emanated right from the moment when JJ Rawlings bounced unto the political landscape of our dearly Beloved Ghana. I saw just a little bit of Pres. Nkrumah era,that of Prime Minister Busia, Col.Acheampong,Gen. Akuffo. In all these respective Govts. the word tribalism wasn't in the vocabulary of Ghanaians as we all lived as one people, one nation, with one common destiny and that is the reason why JJ's emergence was received by every Tom,Dick,and Harry just to achieve one common goal,that is the upliftment of mother Ghana. Sadly some minority tribes took it to be an opportunity to manipulate things to their favour to satisfy their selfish interst. Today, the result is what we are experiencing now. I think it require about a century to eliminate this canker. Thank you John!!

NDC and NPP have been alternating in leadership. when NDC rules for two years, NPP takes over. That has been the trend. Why is that NPP Ashantis do not want NDC to go the second term? Is it because Mahama is a northerner according to your reasoning? And let ask you: How many northers or Ewes have ruled Ghana Rawlings? Just because a northerner is ruling, Ashantis are down: how can a pepefuo rule us? Is that not the question? Why is Mahama's presidency such a pain in people's hearts? Beginning from Nana-Addo to the illiterate NPP Ashanti, it seems a disaster for a northerner to rule. I am forced to say so because that is your reasoning.
You better stop thinking that the Northerner or Ewe has nothing to offer. The fact is that if the northerner had got the chance that Ashantis had before I think no Ashanti man would have got the chance to rule - once again, according to reasoning of some of you.
Look so many northerners voted for Kuffuor to win. But it seems to me that no Ashanti would vote for NDC! Look let us stop playing these ethnic cards, because they are more destructive than constructive.

That boy kwaku dua is partly to blame. He sees no evil, hears no evil and supports ndc, as long as he enjoys his millions. Its a shame on his part.

My friend John. It is good you bring out these views. But let me also remind you that Charity begins at Home. Many times your tribe look down on the minority tribes. Words like "Ayigbe ni nso ye nipa? " are hurtings. Please tell your former Presiden Kufour what informed him to close the Eastern Border in 2008 election and opened the rest? We EWES are not fools as some of you guys perceive.

Life is a process and nothing is apart from will remain the same. Today it is you, tomorrow it may be your brother. There is no point in treating ourselves this way as a nation as it takes us no where. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Let us learn to co exist as brothers in peace.
well said. this is the truth but people are afraid to admit it. when I saw the list of the 250 students going to study medicine in Cuba, I be came very sad.
The day that minorities will begin wielding real power in the NPP there will be no need for these types of articles.

Yes you are right. You Ashantis are only good enough to be taken for a ride. Donkies!!!

Good observation! But the fact of the matter is that Ewes and Northeners are more tibalistic than Akans!

The advise should first go to Former President Kufour who arrogantly closed the eastern border during election 2008. He discriminated against Ewes like his forebears.
It is sad this Mahamisation of Ghana where northeners are appointed to head and control everything.
I like the part which says NDC let the other tribes feel only Ashantis look down upon them. All tribes traditionally think they are better. The Southern tribes feel they are superior. The EWES, GAs, FANTES, ASHANTIS all look ...

Blame NPP woes on the Ashantis/Akyems who have given bad names to other tribes. Names like pepeni, trokesi, etc, were not given to the tribes by NDC. That is the cause of NPP woes not the work of NDC.
Fool. Was trokosi a term coined up by Asantes? Asshole
