The North part of western region need immediate attention because is very part the resources come from. Is my believe that by getting a new region created will help to speed up development in the west in general which brings about the support of Sefwiman which is basically the north part of western region and some areas of Wasa and Aowin as simply sefwi as well because these people speak the same language.

Lets face it, all these ashawo journalists and media realized after peddling the propaganda and lies of the NDC that the people immediately saw through them and stopped buying their newspapers or listening to their radio stations , so they now offer watered down versions of the truth instead of the cold hard facts . 98% of the people of Ghana have rejected the corrupt moral and perverse ndc govt policies be it so called fight for sodomy and gay right to fake economy discussions . we do not have these pepeni and ayigbe idiots as you have to be worth something or worthy to hate we simply read my lips here totally DESPISE THEM. we despise their corruption , we despise their hatred of the Akan majority , we despise their looting and their daily lies , the list is endless as the rotten through and through. Not so long ago they tell us this is the Action year for the Better Agenda as the continue listen very carefully the murdered mill's agenda . Then they tell us they are only in first gear , now they say with the economic forum not only has the car stopped but they are now shopping around for IDEAS to find petrol to get the car moving again in a direction they don't know ? yes we deeply despise such pepeni ayigbe incompetence and they should know after this period will follow the period of FURY. Just look at the misery and woes they have brought upon our people and still they refuse to LET OUR PEOPLE GO. they are too busy steal the little foreign exchange left that the cedi is plummeting down. they are allies with kuffour and his band of robbers who hijacked the npp for a while and made sure they destroyed the grassroots network of the npp so npp can not truly lead any opposition fight to the end like the Ukrainians did . these foolish ndc dont seem to figure out everytime time they come up with a way to freely spend the tax papers money we see through their lies and propaganda . so after spending a thousand dollars a day per person at this 4 day national economic forum without consensus what do they have to show for it except more lies , propaganda and wishful fantasy thinking . shame on you kuffuor for giving them support , if you can find it in you to care then advise your partners in crime to resign and go away for good

I was also of the view that SDMA would taken the whole region in perspective and talk about how the entire region has been left unattended to with their developmental needs. Western region is the bread basket of Ghana yet the least developed with reference to its contribution to the national development.

Every part of the country is crying for infrastructural development, counting from schools to ordinary first-aid clinics. So don't think it is only Sefwi which is in this boat. We are all in the same boat.
U can't use the resources from Sefwi as the cement ground to push to the government for development. Perhaps it produces coffee, cocoa etc to strengthen our export but other places of Ghana equal produce resources for all of us benefit. I think the Volta river where we get our electricity for the whole country doesn't lie in Sefwi. It lies in a different part of Ghana, where the people are equally suffering from lack of social amenities just as your place Sefwi. But such people are not asking for a sect of regional creation for development. Hohoe in the Volta Region where Mount Afajato (the tallest mountain ) is located, attracts more tourists which is equal deprived of social amenities just like your Sefwi is not asking for another creation of region in order to meet their development. Even Kumasi that u cited of many developmental infrastructure taking place from KATH to schools in which many people from sefwi travel to for help, it (Kumasi) is also crying for many of these social amenities because it is not every suburb in kumasi that can boast of them. Some people in suburbs of kumasi equally travel to other places for jobs and health cares but they are not asking for different creation of regions for themselves.
The only thing u people can do is to send your grievances to the right body but you must bear in mind every part of the country is equally crying for these social amenities. Never think about creation of another region, that would be mirage.

It is such gross neglect of most resourceful areas of the Country that has radicalized some Citizens from Ashanti, Western and Eastern Region to resort to ethnocentric animosity for other Citizens who hail from the less endowed areas. " Why use our resources to develop other areas while we are neglected?" The rightly embittered Citizens ask. It is all the fault of our Politicians who have been foolishly nepotic and excessively corrupt.
If we would remember, the main reason for the birth of the UP (Mate me ho) Party was the fear that the resources of Ashanti would be disproportionately distributed around the Nation at the expense of Ashantis who by the time of our Independence owned most of our known highly commercialized Natural Resources.
The UP folks therefore proposed Federalism as the political structure of our Country so that each area or Region might have greater control over its resources. The opponents of that proposal, led by the CPP, rejected it because they also feared the least endowed areas would be left perpetually poor and undeveloped.
It is in view of the concerns of the Feferalists that the Nkrumah Regime initiated a wide distribution of infrastructure including the location of Secondary Schools and Factories, all around the Regions. Even with that initiative by the first native secular Administration, many areas felt victimized by unnecessary Partisan-driven exclusion.
Our subsequent Gov't continued that subtle political retribution and neglected areas needing basic infrastructure. In fact, we came to experience selective discontinuation of projects by incumbent Regimes because those Projects were either begun I by an opposing Party's Administration or located in the strongholds of their opponents.
Then erupted blatant pervasive corruption by which our representatives in Government, like MPs, managed to access funds designated for Projects in their areas and selfishly squandered the money.
For a solution, therefore, the Parliament MUST allocate a certain special compensatory Fund for developing areas where Natural Resources exist and harnessed in addition to the nominal Royalties paid to the areas. Such Funds would be disbursed by consensus of the local District Assemblies.
We all know that the long-existing Royalties hardly benefit the real owners of the Land from which the Resources are extracted. Mostly, the Paramount Chiefs take the bulk, if not all, of the Royalties for their parochial personal interests. Such monies could have gone into various self-help projects like fixing broken Public School Builfings and Toilets, etc., while remedial funding from the central or local Governments are delayed.
If such Special Funding had existed for these exceptionally heavily harnessed areas, Oboase, for instance would not suffer as much degradation as they have. At least, the pollution choking the Oboase area could have been mitigated. Right now that the Ashanti Gold has been coyly handed over to the former Colomial Power under the guise of International Capitalist investment. And as it lis fast depleting in its resource, there are signs of growing unemployment and poverty in the Oboase area. We can notice similar horrible neglect in the Oda, Akwatia areas in the Akyem subregion.
We should, in view of the above, experience move quickly to attend to the needs of these most resourceful areas--Sefwiman, Oda, etc. The answer to this problem in the Sefwiman area must not be secession from the Western Region but rather better leadership in the Gov't and representation for the area to provide deserving infrastructure to the People there.
The other parts of the Western Region have not been equitably developed either. So, it is imperative that we all pressure the Gov't to use our revenues wisely and equitably. The MP of the area must be summoned before the Traditional leaders and the Constituents to account to the People and explain why the area cannot immediately be served as the People expect.
Long Live Ghana!!!

These guys have a good case but their arguments are porous and based on theoretical assumptions!
First, a correction. The Upper West and Upper East Regions were not created by Dr. Hilla Limann who is from the area but by Jerry Rawlings!
Second, the creation of a new region, Western North Region, will not solve ALL the problems in that area overnight. Today, people are moving from bigger and more developed towns (some of which are regional capitals) to cities like Kumasi and Accra in search of jobs.
Third, the regions do not have their own developmental budgets. The money comes from the central government in Accra. So they could get the region created but the money may still not come to them "waa waa" as they expect.
In conclusion, I think that we Ghanaians should be thinking of how to get the ruling governments to share the national cake fairly. We can partition Ghana into 1000 or even one million regions but if the national cake is not shared equally and fairly, we will be having more of such agitations!

Addai, you are right this part of the country has been absolutely ignore and is one of the richest sector of Ghana.In reality the total demarcation of the regions are so chaotic and is all due to President divided and conquered (Nkrumah). Most people in Sefwi know Kumasi but not their regional capital unlike the Ahafoman of B/A they only know Kumasi but not their regional capital Suyani. Modification is needed for the regional demarcations.

I spent a large part of my formative years in the Wassa area of Western region. The agitation of the Sefwi people equally applies to them. I am an Ashanti but my father cultivated cocoa there. The area needs help. For many years it was the bastion of the cocoa industry taking the batton from Ashanti and Brong Ahafo and yet very few roads existed at the time. We used to walk ten miles to nearest town of Manso Amenfi to buy kerosine and other necessities. I hope the Wassa area see some development.

Yaw Opoku, who told you Wassa people are lazy? Where in Wassa did you live and found the people lazy?

I also have a Master's degree from Columbia University in the City of New York (Ivy League). I also live in the USA, specifically New York City. Does it make Wassa people lazy? In my case, the person behind all this isn't even my father, as he died 27 years ago; it's my mother, a hardworking Wassa woman. Please, don't say what you don't know.

Don't border to answer this idiot. His idiocy surfaces in his writing.
If your brains were money,you will still be in debt.It is obvious your IQ is under your shoes.
Sefwiman Development Association you can break away and go to Afghanistan or Iraq who cares?
Blame your chiefs and the people you vote for during elections to steer the affairs of your area and not the government.
u are stupid mother fucker, without sefwi ghana wil sufa
Do you like Ghana? Why not secede from Ghana? You idiot, you dont know what you want in life!!!
Although,I'm an Ashanti by birth,I had my basic education in Sefwi Wiawso and Sefwi Bibiani before moving up to pursued other education.I must confess that Sefwiman deserves what they are looking for,since it is from this are ...

Why did you give or sell all your lands to the Ashantis and Ewes? I know what am talking about. Encourage your citizens to cultivate the land.
You are right.
Have you stopped the human sacrifice for money and other rituals?
Yes, Sefwi deserves a regional capital
Are you people not ashamed to cry out like this?May be its time you started WAILING, they will hear you.
Oooh Mahama betie mo,,,
This a one man association. He is not to be taken seriously. We don't form regions on the bases of your concern, if it were so, every district would have been a region on its own. Please make sure you don't foment trouble in ...

Good advice.
Stop your ritual killings and the people to develop the place for you will come and do their job.

Yes,it is time the brea-away must come. The road from Ankwaso in the central region ,through Ayenfroe,Bogoso to Tarkwa must be the main reason for our brake-away. It is very scary to travel on this road from Takoradi to my h ...

Briliant Article? Breakaway along tribal lines is not a briliant idea!
I will say it is brilliant to ask for a share of the national cake but breaking away along tribal lines is not good.
Mr. Boateng, I support total break up of the country so that each tribe can have its own country to either live in poverty or live in prosperity.
That way, no "tribe" from elsewhere can insult others with impunity.
yes we need our onw regional capital
STOP CUTTING HUMAN HEADS AND DEVELOP THAT FUCKING SEFWIMAN
Do you know how many heads your ashanti king cut in a day,at least we cut heads from other infidil in our midst of us than our own.
STUPID MAN where do you come from in ghana You live in usa if the white descrimnate against you will surely say white are racist you said fucking SEFWIMAN GOD forgive you
Thanks Tony for the wonderful article, the neglect of the people of sefwi is long overdue and I think this agenda of creating the awareness and prompting authorities in in order. we all as sefwi people has been oppressed and ...

Yes Sefwiman is overdue to seek their own region. Keep on the fight and please do not look back. As the turtle says; you cannot get anything unless you stretch your neck out. NDC and Prez. Mahama is milking you dry to feed th ...

wonderful idea but let us approach it with tact so that no nation wreckers will exploit it.
There seem to be many Sefwis here. Very many that can come together with great ideas to improve the lot of the people but as usual every Ghanaian thinks everything should come from the Government.
That's exactly our number-one problem as a people and then as a nation.
Every part of the country is crying for infrastructural development, counting from schools to ordinary first-aid clinics. So don't think it is only Sefwi which is in this boat. We are all in the same boat.
U can't use the ...

Vote NPP in the 2016 election for dev.Your favorite party the NDC can't help you.
When kuffour came 8 years, why he didn't help them?
NDC has ruled for 25 years and there is no development in their area!
The time has come for Sefwis to unite and forge ahead for our fair share of the proceed of the hard earnings of our labour
Mr.Wiseman USA kindly wise up. No sefwi cuts Human Head. Your comment was offensive and an insult to our intelligence.You are not better than any sefwi.

This is how it all starts. Those who have the ears should listen and listen well before the abductions start to draw attention to their plight. Otumfour might be the first abductee of the Sefwiman rebels.

i m short of words with such an awesome piece....i am 100% percent ready to push for anything positive from SMDA
Dr Liman did not create upper west or devide the Upper Regions, If you are fighting a cause which is of course is very genuine please do that and stop misinforming and making it look like it was a tribal act.
This is a good idea.But be strong and follow it through with all sefwi behind you.Good luck
THE EARLIER THE BETTER FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SEPERATE WESTERN TO BRING DEVELOPMENT AND RETAIN PEACE BECAUSE THE SEFWI ARE READY TO BREAK OUT, NO MATTER WHAT.
Does Sefwiman produce Ivory?, where did the writer get that from??
Ghana now needs federalism so that we can develop. Sefwi let stand united and break the silence.., long ama Ghana!
this shouldn't raise ethnic sentiment after all sefwi has suffered for long.
Start renaming your towns and cities with original names, instead of Sefwi-this, Sefwi-that. The Gomoas too the same thing - Gomoa-Ehyiem, Gomoa-London, Gomoa-Birmingham, etc.
OPANIN ADDAI YOU ARE 100% RIGHT THAT IS WHY I SAY FEDERALISM IS THE ONLY WAY OUT FOR GHANA .SAWHIMAN HAS BEEN IN THE DARK FOR TOO LONG IT'S TIME FOR ACTION.
God is paying you back for always accepting human head for juju in your region.
The neglect of the Sefwi area by successive governments bothers on criminality. What it takes to change the fortunes of the area is exactly what you are advocating. Sefwi should be carved out as a region! Your proposal deserv ...
