  Let us maintain the name of the main Osu street as Osu RE, rather than the so-called Oxford Street we're renaming it. Why must we always make our affluent places after foreign ones!

  Osu RE stands for Osu Royal Engineers neighborhood. It w as where the Royal Engineer regiment of the British Army was stationed.
  
  Osu RE is therefore as foreign as Oxford Street.
  
  Just as African print/English waxx/ Hollandaise clothing is European print.

  I only beg to differ on the name “ Legon” . I thought the name was coined by the Gas who referred to the university college there (at that time during the colonial era ) as “ ni le gon no” to mean the hill of studies.

  This version of why Achimota is called Achimota is wrong!
  
  Achimota village was established by Ewe settlers along with Anumle and Chrustian Village.
  
  Achimota is derived from an Ewe phrase which is linked to the name the Europeans call Achimota School, that is Grey City of the Outlaws Hill.

  You don't make any sense at all. Achimota is exactly what the professor described. Ewe people had nothing to do with it.

  1. Achimota is derived from an Ewe phrase which is linked to the name the Europeans called Achimota School: which is the Grey City of the Outlaws Hill.
  
  2. Achimota was called the Outlaws Hill in the colonial days.

  You are a fool who will never learn. Again, Achimota had nothing to do with Ayigbe people. Wash your damn face with alkpele and see if that helps.

  History without substance or is it the work if the usual half baked Ghanaian journalism that has become order of the day? Don't forget that some readers are reading with attention.

Meanwhile they are the last people to be added to Ghana. That’s how they got their name “Number 9”. That was when Ghana had only 9 regions. Ayigbe fuo leave Ghanaians alone.

  There is a saying in ewe "atsi mor ta" to wit "you won't reach your destination". The area called Achimota is a place of refuge for slave escapes from their slave master. I urge you all to do the correlation and connects the dots. This place called Achimota is a place when reached and you're smart you won't reach your designated slave ship, slave castle, slave farms in Europe and America. Hence the name achi- mor- ta.

While a search in European libraries (Portuguese,Danish,Swedish,German,Dutch and British) clearly shows all the ethnicities associated as owners of lands across Ghana and indeed all of their former colonies.no wonder agorkoli drove you guys out of your original abode in Benin -Togo.stop your B's nonsense...we know the boundaries of Volta. how the did you guys leap frog the direct siblings of the Gas-the Danbges,Krobos to acquire these lands.see you guys a not even clever before crossing over to Ga lands you have to traverse Krobos and Dangbe lands from Ayigbe lands...so how the heck did these siblings of ours allow you to settle in our forests without conflict...idiocy crap and envious rats

  Nobody is interested in teaching anything.go learn the language yourself.see we have towns like klagon...should we also teach you the animal called kla?anyway I'll enlightened you, cos I'm in a good mood...kla is the name of an animal and also the word kla means the soul. Ga is tonal so depending on how you pronounce a word, it can mean one or the other ...eg Le means knowledge,studies but it's also the name of an animal in the ruminant family. Gon means hill,mountain. What's wrong with GaDangbes calling a place after a dominant native grazing - browser ruminant species found there,then later the place being given for development of a world class University. Coincidentally, the word le also aligns perfectly with the core function of this established institution.
