    Why do we go in for GMO foods when we grow organic foods in this country. I support the Ga Chiefs. Gradually, this country is being mortgaged by the introduction of GMO foods and one day our children will not get food to eat ...

    Very good decision. I have heard or seen anything come out of Monsanto. Africans have more than enough land and area to produce their own food. Stop the accepting of hand outs and do-for-self.

    TEll the dishonorable fools who call themselves MPs.

  • Baba 9 years ago

    You seem to have better morals than the so called educated clowns in politics from Npp and Ndc in parliament.
    How can europe with little or no resources confuse a rich land like Ghana ?

  • Alexander Illi 9 years ago

    Independently from religious beliefs I'm quite happy to hear this.

    GMOs are designed to force farmers to buy the big foreign companies' seeds and special pesticides annually.

  • gffhhhc 9 years ago

    You don't even have farms to grow food, so what the heck these priests talking about? I will ask the Asantes to stop giving the Ga people food.

  • HONEST CITIZEN 9 years ago

    I guessed u're seeking attention frm Gas lk always. One thing Gas will never do is beg Ashanti's for food. You don't share among yrselves left along among other tribe. Selfish pp. Bite yr smelling tongue. BUULU!!!

  • Naa 9 years ago

    Our "leaders" never hesitate to accept bribes ignoring the well-being of Ghanaians. Little step can take Ghana somewhere someday. Thanks for doing your part. True and selfless Ghanaian.

  • STEVE 9 years ago

    The Western world are forcing their inventions on Africa, and our leaders are not listening to the masses that is not healthy to adopt the GMO seeds. We have lived for centuries without this so called GMO, so why now? Africa ...

    It's very painful and annoying to see all the natural fruits given way to ones with false tastes.My favourite banana is now either too sugary, or sour. Oh how can I eat mango without squeezing them?

    You're absolutely right Aryiku. The Ga Wulomor has jurisdiction over Ga State only but not on Dangme states i.e Ada, Ningo - Prampram/Gbugblah, Krobo and Shai(Seh). Yes Ningo and Gbugblah also celebrate Homowor but the Ga Wul ...

  • KING LOMOTEY 9 years ago

    Sakumo Wolumo, you have all these years to organize the Ga people to cultivate their own organic maize just for the Homowo. Use the Accra plains, they are very fertile. Start immediately.

  • OneGhana 9 years ago

    and who said their people don't till the land for maize/food.

  • KING LOMOTEY 9 years ago

    One Ghana, you are very ignorant. Selling our land, oil, gas and natural resources just to import GMOs.
    Ask your Niimei , and their clueless and corrupt politicians when are we going to be self-reliant?

  • OneGhana 9 years ago

    Today, I stand with you, Niimei, for bringing honor to your office and making proud, Niimei ni eho. Thank you for making your people live off the land for which you have been blessed by your ancestors. I salute you!
