Whoever is conjuring up this stupid thinking should continue dreaming. Which community in Ghana hasn't got any ethnic tension or pressures?
Not until we have a president who does not surround himself with his ethnic groups like MAHAMA is doing which is making northerners think it is their turn to ruin Ghana, we will never let the Mayoral role go to any non-Ga. We indigenous GAs have even be too generous enough to let "COCOASE" IDIOTS WHO HAVE NOT STAYED IN ACCRA FOR OVER 15 YEARS TO REPRESENT ANY CONSTITUENCY IN ACCRA.

Very reasonable suggestion. And by the way, on condition that the voting process and results are acceptable by all. It is high time we all demonstrate maturity for better governance results in Ghana.

this govt is soaked in corruption and has compromised our future with their shady deals with the Chinese . you talk of humble beginnings only to support those who destroy any chances we have at a better future for our children . you pass laws on GMO that will eventually have a devastating effect on our agriculture just because of a few pieces of silver bribes or what you now term as lobbying . you ndc have no heart or conscience just look at what your police are doing to the small enterprises and the weaker in our society . we here of heart wrenching stories of police so power drunk that they arrest drivers carrying goods and hold them in custody for enough days so the produce be it fish or other perishables get spoilt as they want bribes. small capital of a few thousand cedis goes up in smoke because of this callous selfish corrupt attitude and we say our economy is collapsing but dont realise the backbone of our economy are these very same small businesses be it selling roasted plantain on the street corner or traders in the market . you drive around in you air conditioned cars with police escorts so you dont get stuck in traffic but do nothing to implement solutions that will make it easier for the common man . you spend all your time scheming and conspiring so the people because of your propaganda are perpetually confused and remain ignorant . yes we call for a revolution to clear this oligarchy and if we have our way before then end of this year Ghana will burn so out of the fire the pure gold of our nation will come out . your govt is cursed and will never do anything good for our people as you will remain blind to what is visible to all righteous souls and never know the right way forward even if its presented to you . your legacy will be only one of deepened tribalism , corruption ,treason and betrayal of the national interest assisted by your Chinese criminals . all institutions of state are a disappointment and failure as they are so corrupt they no longer serve their purpose . if we do not stop you the tribalism and anti Akan agenda will become institutionalized .your govt has not created a single sustainable business rather collapsed many industries we inherited from Nkrumah and before.under the guise of minority rights you would rather promote sodomy instead of legalizing marijuana as you are more attracted to perversion and gutter morals than doing the right thing . ndc where is your integrity and common sense ?

Is Rhodaline prepared to argue that because the Ya Na's head was chopped off by one of their own kind a non Northerner must be appointed to head the Tamale Municipal Assembly? What kind of logic is this? It is not Ga mei that are opposing Oko Vanderpuije but rather the politicians. For example, when mayors tried to clear the illegal occupants of Agbogbloshie it was Alhaji Aliu Mahama and John Dramani Mahama, when he was the vice president that stopped Adjiri Blankson and Oko Vanderpuije respectfully. Rhodaline Imoro-Ayana is too simplistic in her approach to the vast challenges facing every local government in Ghana to enforce bye laws.

GADANGMES STOP SLEEPING AND WAKE UP!!!
Gadangmes soon you will be landless/tenants on your own land and your language will disappear/extinct and have no culture. Any person without culture is a foreigner. This is my call for you to wake up and stop sleeping-you have been sleeping for far too long soon you will be no more if you don’t pay hid to my advice. Wake up and shine your eyes. Twi people say their intentions in Accra is “simple”- buy the whole of Accra lands and push you into the sea-because you Gadangmes are fools and will sell everything you have, lazy, don’t like work and above all you live in the filthiest parts of the capital. A word to a wise is enough.
Gadangmes home/abroad should petition government re our language
Gadangmes home and abroad should officially meet the president and petition the scaling of Akan Twi broadcasting air time in GT.Accra to 10% or 20
% if we are serious with the decline and to promote the Gadangme language in the region .Government should know how serious we are with this matter. Please let any future government know how we will soon make this a campaign issue if unchecked. We have every right under the constitution to protect our culture.
Every public position in government/Accra occupied by Akans (Twi) people and these Akans are using every power and authority to prevent anything Ga in Gt.Accra though we the Ga have warmly and openly embrace them to live with us-we are watching and waiting-the day the heavens of Accra will open men will weep and nash their teeth.
Gadangme Language
? It is a taboo to speak Twi in GT.Accra. Twi is alien to the region and Accra is not a Twi region-we hate the promotion of Twi language in Accra by our Twi brothers & sisters and from Twi politicians and their opinion leaders.
? Twi people stop promoting Twi language in GT.Accra. Accra is not an extension of your regions/villages and will never be one-we hate this attitude of yours.
? We the natives/Gadangmes of the region hate the promotion of Twi language in GT.Accra by our Akan brothers and sisters and we will not let this go on without a fight.
? My brothers and sisters of Twi decent-if you do not want to speak Gadangme whist co-habiting with us in Accra, you can go back/relocate to your villages/regions and preserve your language. You are not under any compulsion to settle in Accra. And just to let you know; we have every right under the constitution of Ghana to protect our culture us Gadagme people. If you want to preserve yours why do you intend to change ours?
? Gadangmes stop encouraging the promotion of Twi speaking in GT.Accra-our Gadangme brothers and sisters in the diaspora are teaching their children our culture and the language and you back home encouraging Twi people to be imposing their language on you and you are also spaeaking it in Accra-SHAME on you- what is the logic in this? Twi should be spoken in Twi regions not in GT.Accra-
? Speak back Gadangme to them if they say they don’t understand tell them they better learn. Never speak Twi with them.
? Don’t allow any Twi person to interview you in Twi- we live in our region and no one has the prerogative to interview you in Twi-it must be Gadangme or English.
? Tell the Twi people not to carry out their dominant behaviour from Accra. The region belongs to us and not even the government of Ghana - take control of it. If they want to promote Twi speaking they can take this to their back yard. Twi people- allow us to reap the benefit of hosting the capital.
? Twi people- Accra does not belong to you it is your administrative capital and it has owners-respect the owners of the land. If you want the capital at your backyard so you can dominate the whole Ghana it is your own cup of tea. We can’t even manage the smallest region of the ten and you are considering bigger options- this is a political non-starter.
? We Gadangmes –will make this a political campaign come 2016 and beyond. Our language must be spoken in Accra at all times if you don’t want to speak our language whilst co-habiting with us- relocate to your villages. You have no rights what so ever to be imposing you dialect on we Gadangmes-this is not done anywhere in the world. You respect and learn your host culture whilst you cohabitate with them not the other way run-this is unacceptable.
? Stop invading us in Accra-would you Twi people have allowed this dispositions/freedom you are enjoying in Accra if the capital was in your back yard- No? Learn how to develop your regions. Accra has indigenes and they need space to expand we cannot confirm to the coastal belt only. The political mechanisation of selling and taking our lands must stop-for the day the heavens of Accra will open-men will weep and nash their teeth.
? You move home and settle in Accra-invest your energy and resources and latter turn round suggesting the nation’s capital be moved to your Twi regions because you believe Ghana belongs to you-what kind of people are you. Today all facilities in Accra are over stretched-from cemeteries, schools, health centres etc etc.
? Gadangmes don’t expect any of your political representatives to take on this big challenge-they are afraid (don’t have the balls) to do this thus, being label as tribalist and frustrating government efforts. Take to the streets and demand your rights—warm any government in power we will make Accra ungovernable and difficult for them if this broadcasting regulations are not adhere to in the capital & land issues resolved. We Gadangmes don’t want Twi broadcasting in our region-period. Stop Twi broadcasting in GT.Accra
? As for you Gadangmes influential persons in the government who thwart every effort by gadangmes youth demanding our constitutional rights regarding land protection and preservation of our language; we know you all and will soon publish your names-but the day the heavens of Accra will open you will run and find nowhere to hide.
? Gadangmes in government and influential positions have no balls to take on this fight they fear being ladled as tribalist and not completing government efforts. Gadangme youth need to take up this fight yourself and you need Acentric leaders not the ones you see around if you want to see any result/change.
? If this is untrue, why haven’t you see any change since we started this fight? Threaten the government with your votes if your demands are not met.
? For those Twi (Akan) tribes who think Gadangmes don’t have the rights to raise any grievances regarding rights to language and lands and think the only solution is move the capital from Accra to your Akan TRIBAL (Twi) speaking areas - bring it on and I’ll lead the crusade.
? Twi radio stations in GT.Accra
? We Gadangmes hate Twi broadcasting in our region. GT.Accra is not a Twi region and we want all twi radio broadcasting air time scale back 20%-English is our lingual franca, alternatively other major dialects must be given adequate air time-if needs. We know owners of theses twi radio stations have warned employees not to speak Gadangme on their stations hence risked being sacked.
? Twi influential persons in the broadcasting services corporations in Ghana who are frustrating any attempt by Gadanmes to establish Gadangme radio stations in the capital be warned-the day the heavens of Accra will open-you will run and find nowhere to hide-our wrath will surely visit you-you will not be spared. We know you all and have your names-will soon make this available.
? Those Gadngmes who have leased your homes to these Twi bigots to be using your premises to promote Twi speaking in GT.Acrra-be warned.
GT.Accra MPs
1.It is imperative Gadangmes must ensure all political parties in greater Accra have 90% of Gadangmes in any political endeavours in the region.
2. Need to ensure we have proportional representation in all public/private sectors business-we host the capital and we must benefit from this.
Currently, non-natives of the region particularly (Twi) people are scrambling for every leadership positions in Greater Accra- some of which by default must be represented by us e.g. our parliamentarians-we must fight back and we will fight back.
3. Please allow us to reap the benefit of hosting the capital- you cannot snatch every opportunity from us simply because Accra is our capital.
Accra has indigenes and they deserve respect/survival. I don’t care what ever logic you Akan (Twi) people deduct from this. If you want to be an MP return to your native region and contest. It is ethically wrong to have your natives’ represented in parliament then compete with Gadangmes in Greater Accra environs- this is unfair.
4. Gadangmes in the diaspora and at home must petition government to ensure 90% of Greater Accra parliamentarians are indigenes. Non-native should contest seats in their native home and not in Greater Accra-the current trend must change. All political parties must respect this. Greater Accra region is for the natives and it’s their constitutional rights to be represented by them and not non-natives’ I don’t care whatever logic you deduct from this.
5. The only consideration- is to (allow) 1-10% of parliamentary seats to other minorities who consider themselves as Ghana nationals reasons being constitutional and reside in Greater Accra.
6. Those Twi MPs you have elected in GT.Accra join their Twi Caucus in parliament and fight for things Akan in parliament at the detriment of Gadangme people-why vote them there? This is the reasons why so many problems in GT.Acccra- unsolved such land, your language etc
7.To present day- they have settled in most Ga rural areas lands you have sold to them; and are now calling for voting MCEs,MMCs,DCEs etc –part of their ploy to be control you in Accra because they are the majority there-wake up and open your eyes.
8. You are just selling lands without taking serious considerations into accounts such landless of next generation into consideration.
9.We don’t want Twi MPs in GT.Accra-they don’t represent our interest and Gadangmes stop voting these tribal bigots to represent us in parliament. They join their Twi (Akan) caucus once they get to parliament then begin to frustrate efforts rather than help resolve any issues affecting Gadagnmes such land and language. Take a close look at all the Twi MPs representing GT.Accra and single out anyone who has seriously/single handled taken up any issues/concern of Gadangme people. I know you Gadanmes will vote non-natives again to parliament against your own people come-2016.
Makola market
? Gadangme take back Makola market-governor Griffith built the market for the indigenes. AMA must ensure the Rawlings Park is converted to market and given back to the Gadanmes to resume their business. The old market was demolished under the supervision of the state in 1979 and state money must be used to rebuilt and given back to the Gadanmes.
? I’m not against any non- natives selling at the market -far from that-but if I may ask does the market has to be taken over by them from the indigenes? No-this is the case. Don’t we have right to sell in our own market. We are watching and waiting. Why are twi people so greedy-using your political mechanisation to take everything from we Gadanmes on our land-where can this happen/tolerated? Don’t we have rights to survive just like you? When we begin to react you call this tribalism and creating tensions and insecurity in the capital.
Land
? Government& government officials, Gadangmes representatives at the land commission, public official, Gadagnmes chiefs etc who connive and promote the stealing and selling of Gadangmes lands with impunity-the day the heavens of Accra will open you will run and find nowhere to hide-we have all your names-we are watching and waiting.
? Gadagmes I wonder how you lease off your lands at sums/money you can disposal of in couple of months for 99 years-a period of 4 generations to allow blocks and cement to be planted on the land at the expense of your farming occupations/activities. Something is seriously wrong with you-wake up. Lease these lands for reasons that will bring you more income or develop them.
Gadangmes influential persons and those who betray our course
? We know all those are frustrating our course and we shall soon publish your names-keep dragging our feet instead of advising those involved to desist from their tracts-which is suffocating Gadanmes and making them poorer and landless. The day the heavens of Accra will open-our wrath will visit you
? Those Gadangme youth leaders who betray the course of Gadangmes plights by joining those opposing/championing our obliteration from the national profile by taking bribes thence, thwarting our efforts-the day the heavens of Accra will open you will run and find nowhere to hide. You are the ones we are looking for-and we will soon get you-we know all of you by the way. Remember we are all in this together.
? Your betrayal to our course is not encouraging and frustrating our course, be warned! Be warned! Be warned!
? STOP AKNANISATION OF GT. ACCRA.THE REGION IS NOT A TWI REGION and I don’t care what logic you deduct from this.Gadangmes -WAKE UP.
? I urge all Gadamges youth to demonstrate/petition the president at his official residence against dominance/forceful imposition of Twi language in the capital by Twi Akan politicians. This is unacceptable and has a dare consequence. Continue to take us for granted-we will soon explode and the capital will not contain us.
? Today in Accra we have rural migrants into the city imposing their way of life on the advanced South-this’s not acceptable in anywhere in the world.
? Gadangmes, our language defines us- let’s protect it at cost.
? The rest of the country is behind you-no worries. They agree with you Accra is your space and you need to act.
? GAdangmes-love yourselves and support each other.
Gamantse I’ve spoken-I rest my case.

Gadagmes exclusion from Ghana politics
? We are 8% of Ghana’s population. The current administration have only 2 Gadangmes ministerial positions out of 18.And out of the 35 deputy minsters we have 1or 2 Gadangmes. Out of countless diplomatic missions (ambassadors) post abroad there is only 1or 2 Gadangmes. Majorities of government positions occupied by Akans (Twi) Northerners and Ewes.
? This is our reward for providing our land for government to run its administration and generously embrace every Ghanaian to live and settle with us. Soon this is about to change and any party will have to earn our support-days when you will use us a dump us is coming to an end. Please read through the lines-new generation of Gadangmes emerging. If you want to move the capital you are welcome-after all what do we gain for hosting the capital.
? Can someone explain to me why all government official positions in the country occupied by Akan (Twi) people including any positions in Accra-the capital as well? We the indigenes have any right to these as well? Do we have to loose everything just because Accra is the capital?
? Accra is not a Twi region and Twi people must know this. You can’t occupy every official/government positions in your region and Accra as well.
? Akan (Twi) people Ghana does not belong to you. Parts of Ghana that belong to you are your regions. Stop promoting Akanisation of Ghana from Accra. Accra is not a Twi region and will not be one. Respect indigenes of the region and their culture-or else Accra will soon not contain all of us. STOP promoting Akanisation of Ghana from Accra.
? Stop promoting Twi language in GT.Accra-we the Gadangmes hate this big time. If you co-habitate with us you must speak our language and not yours-if you don’t want to speak it - move back to your region. Accra is you administrative capital not your home town.
? Stop turning GT.Accra into a Twi region-Accra is not a Twi region and a Gadangme region-we Gadangmes hate this.
Gadangmes excluded from Natioal Team/score
Today in Accra Twi migrants to the south are planting blocks and cement in every Ga space which were previously used by the youth to train and play football including Ga community centre-hence decline preventing our youth in developing and realising their talents/skills-we are watching and waiting . Today there is no Gadangme in Ghana’s national team all Akan Twi people. The entire GFA represented bt Akans.
The entire national team headed and represented by Twi people. Today in Ghana every public office headed by Akans Twi people. This was the practice prior to the revolution in 1979 then Akans (Twi) became main casualties. This practice is again rearing its ugly head again in Ghana’s social and political fibre.
May God forbid-but should there be any social/political upheaval, you will begin to cry as the main casualties.

The main problem that caused the mayors in Accra not to be seen as good performers of their said duties is the frustration and the pressure that the political parties that appointed them put on them.
The typical example is the pressure Kufour and the NPP put on Nii Adgiri Blankson, the then mayor of Accra to slow down his discongestion policy of Accra, since the NPP think they could lose votes from the voters who never realised that the disongestion is in the interest of all the people who live in Accra and in Ghana at large.
To be frank the same thing happened to the present mayor of Accra, Dr Vanderpuiye. I am aware that the NDC government of Atta Mills was pressurised by some of the NDC constituency candidates that the implementation of cetain by law policies of the mayor is causing their voters to be having problems with them, hence the break in the earlier active actions of Vanderpuiye.
Now with keen and proper observation, one can see how Vanderpuiye is weakened, and thus no more active the way he had visualised to do things to help Accra.
His discongestion policy had slowed down or died simply because maybe Mahama too might have given his directives of what he should do and not to do.
This is African political arena with a lot of defiencies which never help developments. The CPP baby politician ought to learn faster so that she would not expose herself to foolishness and laughter.
The mayor's problem with his Ga kinsmen is not because he is a Ga, but it is of similar issue that every person who stands against the mayor does that because of his/her selfish interest.
The Ga kinsmen in question are against Vanderpuiye because they also, like the political parties feel he Vanderpuiye stepped on their toes with his by law policy of knocking out houses that stand on the water way, which eventually help flooding during the raining seasons with fatal results.
In short it is highly childish for the CPP commentator, Ayana to make such statements of political fallacy, which is of basically stupidity and baseless that the influence and pressure by the Ga kinsmen never permitted the mayor to perform his duties properly therefore there is a need to pick non Ga as the mayor of Accra. The baby politician should make vivid investigation before coming out to make statement of this nature.

A non-Ga indeed to head AMA! What an impudence to tell Gas in their faces? What the heck are you thinking and what have you been drinking? Pressures ke from the traditional chiefs? So what? Go tell the Ashantis not to respect their traditions and see where you head will be. Go tell the Ewes not to respect their traditions and see how sea water is different from spring water. Some of you residents of Accra have no respect for the Ga chiefs because their fore-fathers betrayed the people of Gamashie. Get your stinking ass from the Ga people. How many non Ashantis have had the chance to be the Chancellors of NKUST or Vice -Chancellor? Is t not all and/or majority of them Ashantis? How many non-northerners have had the chance to preside over UDS in Temale and its other satellite campuses. I don't blame you but I blame the irresponsible Ga chiefs who have betrayed their sons and daughters to whom they ought to be accountable to. Ga chiefs have let their people down. can Okoe Vanderpuije single handily run AMA? Can Okoe see every wrong going on in Accra? What an insult to Gas? Get away from their land if you are not happy with the situation in Accra. Have you finished talking about the corruption that has engulfed the Mahama regime and the stealing of Ga lands by Kufour and Jake Obestibi lamptey? What about the GMOs saga facing the good people of Ghana and the unintended consequences of cancer explosion? Shame on you for blaming Okoe Vanderpuije for some one else's reckless endangerment and man-slaughter.

It has nothing to do with ethnic origin, an Asante, a Dagari or Ewe can be equally ineffective or effective. It has to do with something called fortitude!
The head and tail of every problem we have in our country is corruption. The answer lies in rooting this out. Start by decentralizing, creating and empowering accountable regional political structures that will take mandates from their people for decisions. Weaken the the power of the President and any national executives. Abolish the post of Minister and repose that power in the elected regional executives who are mandated to manage the regions for strictly limited terms. Comb thru the judiciary and remove the corrupt elements and put in place a mechanism that will enforce the law and not turn themselves into accusers-arresters- prosecutors-judges and receivers of fines.

This is another stupid idiot who finds herself in power.
What does ethnicity have to do with proper governance/management.
If that is the case then can one say that we need a non-Northerner to rule Ghana (considering the mess in which this president has made of this country)?
This Imoro Ayana person should just shut up if she does not have anything useful to say.
On another note can a Ga man/woman survive as mayor in any Northern/Upper regional city?
I think it is about time Ga/Dangme's woke up and fought against this nonsense being perpetrated by some non-Ga/Dangmes trying to take over the region.
They should take Crimea/Russia as a recent case in point.
