What was the purpose of describing the boy with "Bono Region"? If region is really necessary why not accredited it to Volta where his parents comes from?
Whatever intent you want to send across should not have negated his Ewe lineage at best you should have described him with his school and not the region he stays in.

Do you know if the mum is a Bono person? I have a Granddaughter whose mother is a Bono and father an Ewe. She bears an Ewe name but by Akan tradition, she is a Bono girl!

@Atoapoma. Not that I care for all this needless emphasis on tribal affiliation but you're WRONG. She (sic) could only be Bono if both parents are same. An Eʋɛ Father automatically makes offspring same and neutralizes any matrilineal claims. Do some more research.

@ Deevinity: That's your custom but for we Akans, we belong to the tribe of our mothers! I was referring to my granddaughter whose father is an Ewe that is why l wrote 'she' so don't make any correction!

Aee, has it gotten to this? I was raised in this small town, Nkrankwanta. My only joy is the boy's getting his education in a town where I once lived as a child.

We have numerous universities including KNUST, but we import even matches and toothpicks. So what is the use of the boy being innovative. We don't have the necessary infrastructures to such talents into good use

GHANAIANS ARE FUNNY.
After reading his name, I immediately realized that the kid is an Ewe, then it donned on me that the kid must have really done something great. If he had stolen a fowl, it would have been an Ewe kid steals fowl, but since it is a great achievement, the credit goes to the Bono Region. Ei Ghana! Yooo!

Don't get worried brother, we're all Ghanaians! If you really want to know the ethnicity of the talented boy, you should find out where both parents come from. I have a Granddaughter whose mother is a Bono and father an Ewe. She bears an Ewe name but by Akan tradition, she is a Bono girl! Have you thought about that?

If your granddaughter's FATHER IS AN ƐƲƐ she cannot "belong" to her mother's lineage. No point arguing with me.

You @Agnenyo are the Chief mischief maker. You can marry an Akan and relinquish your paternal duties to your brother-in-law and let him own and dictate how your children should be raised. That's your business.

God save our journalist reporting for Ghanaweb. Ethnic biased reportage will not help. How will someone in the Gambia or elsewhere know where Bono is? The emphasis should have been on Ghana, and his School. Was the competition International or inter-Regions in Ghana? This is shameful and must be condemned.
