Take violence out of politics. Politicians must put the country first for once. Grow up idiots.
Once a Dagomba always a Fool with a very little brain.That is how All Dagombas are. Unfortunately they are also Thieves
Kw33 Malik Basintale, stop the gangster behaviour and language. You're now a CEO for Christ sake! The courts are there to settle disputes. This is a democracy, not an animal kingdom regime.
Please tell him to keep it on since this idiot and ndc leaders are behind him time will tell tell him to come and Face him within his stupid man go men nka he will see that dagombas are fools like him
Aooo... this super-illiterate boy @Wwwe again...!!!!! You can't even write a simple sentence in English, but you are always here to disgrace yourself. Tell me... was it English you wrote or Greek? Kwaaaasia papa bi........... ...

If not President Mahama is your uncle how could such a beast be given such appointment. Is it a case of nepotism?,
@frank first time I agreed with you, I’m dagomba but we don’t talk like that when you’re in a higher level, some dumbasses will try to provoke you, don’t play with pigs in muddy waters
FRANKIE, you see how daft your guy is. He is beyond description and that is why their area, the North is full of violence. To them, the law enforcement is nothing rather blood spillage is normal.
How can you write such a thing? Basintale grew up in Tamale but his not a Dagomba, so why insult Dagombas like this. Probably that’s why you are called John
As Ghanaians we are like a “COAT OF MANY COLOURS”. Please we are all brothers and sisters.
Please let’s co-exist harmoniously.
Fuseini, Basintale said that quote, "A Dagomba doesn't go to police or court but settles issues on the street". Unquote. Did he say that he is not a Dagomba or what?
If you are a teacher, how will you explain that stateme ...

Being a street fighter is a tag of honour you wear around. Such primitive mentality and arrogance. You are not fit to occupy public office.
NOT ALL DAGOMBAS ARE THUGS AND FOOLISH
KINDLY NOTE THAT ELDERS IN THE FRATERNITY HAVE EMPOWERED BASINTALE TO GATHER THE YOUTH OF GHANA TO MISBEHAVE AND BRUTALIZE FELLOW GHANAIANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE NOT FROM THE NORTH. ...

Please go back to history. Denkyira 2 war.
This is a security filla to the Police Service and other security agencies. Malik Basintale will likely be carrying a weapon or knife on him whenever he moves around.There shd be a constant bodily check on him.
The truth is we Ga ppl who are known for street fight don't carry weapon around to harm our opponents/enemy. We believe in our natural strength which we always have to defeat others.
@Nii Buulu bi, haven't you people been using pump action guns and pistols and cutlasses to do your stupid galamsey work? Even as we speak, you have two local pistols in your room. Foolish boy.....
Afrifa must know nobody can intimidate northerners. We are the backbone of this country and we fear no one whether in power or not. We are the indigenous peoples of the country and we want to make that clear to the head of af ...

True that's why you are killing each other daily. Pepenii aboa
No wonder you are slaughtering each other up North!
DUMB ASS
That's all Dagombas do at the North with that Animalistic attitude towards their neighbours. Foolishly they feel they can spread this bad behaviour throughout Ghana If I had my wish No Dagomba will get a political position in ...

Afrifa-Mensah's comment deserved a sharp reply or silence,but this comment is below the belt
Say whatever you want about us. But we know our Fathers unlike you a bastard child. You can only be proud of your prostitute mom who couldn't feet you with common sense.
Dagombas and gyimii. They want to take their dominance in the north to other parts of Ghana but they are afraid to fetch common water from the konkonbas. This little boy has no home manners
Basintale is not a Dagomba. You KOKOMBAS who fought almost all your neighbours in the North and Oti Regions, Nanumbas, Dagombas, Chokosis, Bimobas, Nawuris, Gonjas, Chimburus, Achedes. What kind of animals are you?
So this is how your home manners thought you to speak? A stupid fool who doesn't know how to talk to a tribe that's far far superior to his tribe. Do you even know your tribes name? Son of a community whore.
Kwasia. So u will die on the streets too. Not your fault. Power corrupts but it is a matter of time.
Stop the bragging your whole king and his guards were slaughtered at his palace.
Hahahaaaaa they caught his throat like a Dog.When the Nazis led by Adolf Hitler were bluffing to be strong. The brave Russian soldiers chased him to his bunkers got him and caught his head.They took his head away to Moscow. W ...

@Yaw kwasia-kwasia! Your stinky mouth wae! Did anything happen to you when you and your NPP colleague animals invaded the Court house in Kumasi, where you traumatized the pregnant Magistrate..????
And it is a foolish Dagomba boy who believes that having political power is permanent. It is also a foolish Dagomba boy who thinks behaving recklessly and irresponsibly should be celebrated and considered as bravery.
The time will definitely come and we all shall see.
We need Dahomba s in BAWKU HMM GO THERE WITH UR MANCOHS, HMM
No need, our brothers Mamprusis are doing a good job there
For the records, Malik Basintale is NOT A DAGOMBA. He has only been raised and lived in Tamale. Half of him is Gonja and the other half a Kusasi. Remember that not everyone who speaks asanti twi is an asanti. The likes of him ...

So why is he pretending to be Dagomba?
Dagomba, Kusasi, Mamprusi or Kokomba are all Northerners, violent in nature and all raised in Zongo while in the South.

Mr. Smart, Mansa is a lady's name. Mensah is the male version. If it is Okatakyie you are referring to then it should be Afrifah Mensah not Mansa.
NPP are just in pain because of their lost
Katakyie, Unfortunately your NPP is not coming back to power any time soon. Truly, the NPP has FAILED MISERABLY to be a good SUBTITUTE for the NDC. In short Ghanaians have REJECTED your NPP, hence the MICRO MINORITY.
yoo!!

If John Mahama is the disciplined president he professes to be, he should fire this thug.

The Yaanaa must caution such thugs who are not from his tribe but caused the ridicule of Dagombas. Big fool. Who told u that. You are from a game reserve settlement near Daboya. Idiot
Who is that stupid and bulubulu Afrifa.He is just envious of Basintale.Stupid fooool.
Envious of a tanii?
Basintale should pray for Ndc to remain in power forever because the chronicles of his sins will be used against him, not in his so called Dagonbaland but here in Ghana. The next Npp government will not be soft as Nana Akuffo ...

Arrogance and pride because of power. Hmmm
Endorsing the law of the jungle? Shameful. You have just buried your political career. This is nonsense tribalism of the worst kind.
Stupid comments all over.
Most of the comments here are made out of pain.
Nonsense
Stop spoiling the reputation of Dagombas!! Where is this saying from? Are you a Dagomba? We grew up to hear "the builsa way" (even your president used this expression when he was struggling for power in 2015) but never anythi ...

No doubt your North is in tatters and always in conflict, because as you are saying, you Dagombas have no respect for the law. No police station and no courts. Why don’t you apply to close down the police station and courts ...

And these are some of the irresponsible idiots the much respected John Mahama chose to give appointments to, to the neglect of those who have spent all their years working for the NDC. Soon we shall see
Nonsense. Then why are you in government?
Ghana is doomed. We have lost our beloved democratic country to these uncivilized backwards tyrants NDC people. Cry my beloved country..
Basintale, continue to boast, your time will come
Look at a mister talking. The dagomba would be surprised to see his faith after the street action.
Look at this boy CEO being paid with our tax talking.
Beastly comment. You must learn to live as a human being.
Basintale is not a native Dagomba name and therefore anybody with that name is an alien to Dagban and should not be taken seriously.Our Abudu and Andani issue is enough for us,we don't want more trouble makers in our mist
This is why you are killing yourselves in the North daily,very pitiful for people like Basitale to be in Govt, we are doomed. Street fight, vigilantism, violence, etc
You have all misunderstood what he means. Afrifa is mince meat. He would soon be roaming around mad. He has already been dealt with spiritually.
Foolish northerner,stop behaving like a cow
Another disappointment of a youth who is unable to handle little power decently. He will be the undoing of the NDC.

Stop talking violence you talk too much. Politics is a game between brothers and sisters. No need to settle foolishness on the streets.
DEPORT ALL THOSE FOOLISH NIGERIANS BACK TO THEIR ZOO
The court of police is a place to waste money and twist facts. The street is the best place to settle score. Proud Dagbana
Does this Basintale character think we are living in d Stone age?I don't blame him because d law doesn't work well in this country.
Mr. IGP, please wake up,we only have one GHANA and GHANA FIRST.
Hmmmn, so a proud and indigenous Dagomba is the one who takes the law into his /her own hands? I don't think so.
babies with sharp teeth, JJ will be turning in his grave!
horror! barely 6 months mpo nie
You’re not a Dagomba. Stop setting Dagombas up for insults
GhanaWeb ought to be sued for misquoting Basintale and misinforming the non-Dagbani speakers. He did not say a Dagomba doesn't go to court... He said the Dagombas have a saying that bilchini (meaning a native or true son of t ...

YEAH , BASINTALE I THINK YOU SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE APPOINTMENT YOU BEEN GIVEN, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT DERAILED FROM IT. A WORD TO A WISE IS ENOUGH.
How will their regions know peace with such stupid people supposedly leading them? Nkrumah should not have included them or added them to the country. Uncouth like that.
That is why you are killing yourselves in the north.
If this is what a tribe believes in then Ghana is doomed. Kwame Nkrumah has really worried Ghana. A tribe believes in violence wow!!! I understand why they even fight over guinea pigs and end up killing themselves.
Riff raffs!

Mahama is there pretending like he doesn't know what is going on because they are doing his bidding.
The first method of estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
-Niccolo Machiavelli.
Dagombas were roundly and soundly defeated by Asantes and taken into exile to Kumasi and given names like pepeni, tani, ntafo etc. read your history books Basintale. Dagombas are just rowdy
Fake Osei yaw, mismatch name, Asantis and Dagombas are related so don’t fake your name to incite you’ve been exposed
You are a fool, if they are related , how come the names Pepeni, Tani , Ntafuor are popular in Kumasi? How are they related? Maybe you want to be related to us, but you guys are our shit carriers
Malik Basintale, you are a Bissa (Busanga) and not Dagomba. Stop stop dragging Dagombas into your foolish behaviour. You can send your fellow Busanga people to do your bidding and stop dragging Dagombas into your stupid condu ...

It is so shameful and primitive to issue such a statement.No wonder Northerners and Dagombas are so backwards and uncivilised
Haha, no wonder
Mr Basintale should also realize that, once you become a public official, those expressions should be replaced with euphemism.
I want like wishing going home way know places it

Both Basintale and Afrifa are being childish.
This kinds of foolish bravado should be left for the teenagers and other less responsible dudes.
