AKANS MUST FEEL FREE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH WITHOUT ENTERTAINING ANY FEAR, THREAT OR ACT OF INTIMIDATION!!!!
FOR HOW LONG ARE WE TO BE WIMPS??? IT IS HIGH TIME WE STAND UP AND SPEAK THE TRUTH AND DEFEND OURSELVES BOLDLY. THIS IS EVEN A DOCTORED TAPE, IF THEY SAY IT CAME FROM OSAFO MAFO, NO APOLOGIES. IF OSAFO MAFO SAID IT, IT IS THE TRUTH INDEED. IF ANYBODY CLAIMS OSAFO MAFO TOLD A LIE, THEN WE MUST STOP TEACHING GHANA'S GEOGRAPHY IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WE ARE TIRED OF THAT STUPID TRIBAL NONSENSE. LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE COUNTRY, AT A TIME WE ARE PRODUCING CRUDE OIL. COME ON NDC, GIVE US A BREAK!!!! NDC MUST COME OUT AND PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE MEDICAL STUDENTS GIVEN SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN CUBA. WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN GHANA CAN WIN ELECTION WITHOUT AKAN MAJORITY VOTES???? IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE 80% OF MINISTERS HAVING BEEN CHOSEN FROM TWO MINORITY TRIBES, THEN, AKANS WHO VOTE FOR NDC MUST EXAMINE THEIR HEADS. AKANS ARE NEVER TRIBALISTIC. WE ACCEPT AND HELP OTHER TRIBES WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN OUR MIDST. WE EMPLOY THEM ON OUR LANDS AND IN SOME CASES GIVE THEM FREE LANDS TO SETTLE. IF THEY HATE US AND WANT TO MARGINALISE US, THEN LET US UNITE AS AKANS AND DEFEND OURSELVES. EVERYTIME AKAN, AKAN , AKAN!! BUT AKANS VOTED NDC TO POWER.

--------------------------------------
You blokes are lucky that I don't have enuf time right now to take you on. Of course, the NPP is built on such jaundiced ethnocentric views and claims, however wrong they are. Can a right-wing neo-nazi party reject racism? The NPP was built on the ethnocentrism of the NLM and then the PP.
I wrote this comment earlier in response to the NDC release.
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 part 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 contributed a mere 13% compared to the 9% contributed by plantain alone.
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."

Okoampa and those supporting what Osarfo Marfo was alleged to have said do not know the fire they are playing with. Ghana is a unitary state and thus all resources belongs to all irrespective of region of origin.
Do we expect say we conclude by saying let Ashanti keep all its gold proceed, Eastern keep all its Aluminum proceeds, Western keeps all the oil proceeds etc that will be the end of the madness? We must be joking.
Right after that there will be demands from the municipality and it will run all the way to the villages and clans and families on whose lands those resources are located and whose vegetaion and water is polluted to gain access to those resources. It will no longer be a regional or tribal issue anymore. It goes beyond that if we allow this entitilement mentality to take hold of us.
Sadly Africa is in the mess it is because we have many educated fools that are incapapble of reasoning beyond the classroom like this Okaompa right here.
Are guys aware that most somalis are almost of the same ethnic grouping yet sectarian violence and entitlement wouldnt allow that nation to see peace. Lets becareful what curse we call on our nation in the name of political power.
There is nothing wrong accusing the Mahama administration of stocking the govt with too many Northern ministers but preaching the same among the Akan is also not the best way to rectify the tribal madness. Two wrongs have never made anything right.

What a load of ignorant idiots! What makes Akans majority in Ghana when their total population is less than 50% of the pop. of Ghana???
Largest constellation of linguistically related "ethnic" group doesn't confer majority status on them. Saying "Akans" today is no more different than saying "Americans". Many of the Twi speakers identified today have genes related to people from as far as Angola and the Congo, where the Portuguese brought many slaves to be sold in the Gold Coast, not to mention the original Twi speakers acquired themselves locally within Ghana and from neighbouring countries. Fantes have two clans dedicated to such people, besides the Fante Kramo. The pop. of Asante is estimated to comprise 33% of people of slave origins. Shoould be about 20% for Akyems except that huge numbers of their slaves escpaed to the Gold coast and settled around Ga Rural down to the coastal C/R and W/R.
So, in brief, there was no Akan ethnic group of people related by blood, language, etc., affinity. Same is true for Ewes, btw.
Anyway, can this jerk leave Anlos alone? Rawlings and the Tsikatas never represented us and never stood for our interests. Go to Srogboe where the latter come from and you'd be shock at the dilapidated state of the main basic school there.
You can defend your fellow journey man on the path of bigotry as much as you want but that does not make you and your ilke right. You are just ignorant, mentally warped bastards!
Do you know how much services add to GDP presently? Even root and tuber crops (yam, cassava, cocoyam) added more than 3 times (46%) the value of agric GDP of cocoa (13%) as per the Facts and Figures of MOFA Nov. 1991. Who are producing those things? Only Akans? It is not only where they are produced but who are producing them?
If Tullow and Kosmos can take the lions share of the Jubilee Fields oil, then the labourers who work on the farms of the Akans deserve a lions share too!
And once again, Akans are indeed a minority if put against all the other ethnic groups! So, any party leaders who think they can appeal to and win ALL SO-CALLED AKAN VOTES and win power in Ghana are a bunch of bigoted, ignorant idiots!

YOU ARE RIGHT ANDY-K, THERE IS NO CLEAR MAJORITY IN GHANA PERIOD..THANK THE GOD THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN- CAUSE YOU ARE TOO "CIVILIZED" FOR HIM..HAHA!
Must you go quoting OLD figures waaay back from 1991 to buttress your point?
Recently your Ewe fella Okudzeto Ablawa stated on a radio show that SERVICES make up a whooping 60% of Ghana's GDP; COCOA 11%; Oil 2% and so forth...get it? These are 2014 figures, which I presume have not been released yet- Do some research Dr. K. of Volta Anlo Srogboe with a dilapidated school( which YOU must do something about), go to wiki and see the figures for 2013...
Ahoofe and his ELKS are only blowing HOT air bordering on BIGOTRY- a straight path for them to HELL..... And I will watch with GLEE....hahaha!
I think the problem some of these people groups are having is that they see they dynamics of Ghana shifting rapidly in an e-economy- wealth is shifting into many hands as Ghana is heading towards a true middle income state; they are getting SCARE bc they know that POWER belongs to those who are willing to wield it and the power dynamic is also shifting like a pendulum in Ghana...hahaha!
You just wait Andy-K- Ghana is heading towards an "egalitarian" society- presumptions are being rebutted every second...hahaha!!!!
I love watching the transformation with glee...Let cows like ahoofe and Osafo Marfo continue with their false indoctrination- when will Ghana be free from these type of national pull me down people? Hopefully within 7 year of natural causes..haba!

Some of us see this Osafo Marfo rubbish as an opportunity for the NPP to shed it's tribal tag by asking the man to apologise or distance itself from the message. We rather have idiots worsening the already nauseating atmosphere by foolishly supporting the man. Times are coming when all attempts to do the honourable thing that should have been done today will not reverse an already bad case for the party. We should not forget the failure of attempts to colour the 'inward looking" comment if yesteryears. It's a bad comment so please let's find a better way of cleansing the havoc instead of what we are doing today.
