Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16)Nbh.

You're enjoying Ewe korti, but don’t want Ewe signage. What kinda double standard! It's about words that re famous, and not hidden words.

My brother say it again. She sleeps in bed with an ewe man called Ocloo and who has been servicing her regularly for God knows how many years now? All of a sudden she wakes one morning and says she doesn't want to hear the word "woezor" which was on a signage located in the greater accra region because the signage is on ga dangbe land. What has Mr Ocloo done to deserve this? I swear if I was Mr Ocloo I will go on strike and suspend my servicing duties for a long time. What double standards is this!!!!!

The unfortunate mistake some Ghanaians make is that culture is dynamic and not static. Provide an alternative suggestion instead of harping on tribal sentiments. My view is that, Accra is the capital of Ghana and is no longer the preserve of only Gas. The signage welcoming all can be written in all the major languages spoken in Ghana including English and of course Ga.

Oobake
Akwaaba
Welcome
Woezor

First of all it must be understood that Accra, like London, like New York, like Paris, like Rome etc, are all known to be of a metropolitan nature or character. This means that, for whatever reasons, be it tourism, trade, science, IT, finance or even culture, they attract multitudes of visitors and immigrants from other parts of their countries and also from around the world. With this comes new ideas, new friendships and of course plenty of good money - that is, if we choose to turn this into an advantage instead of being petty and stupid and exposing our ignorance and inferiority complex about it.

When we all put the signage of "welcome", "akwaaba" or "woezor" or in any other language on the front doors of our homes, we primarily do so not to show our origins or to welcome ourselves back to our homes when we go out but rather, for the benefit of visitors and strangers from other parts of the country and around the world.

Gas - especially their leaders, have been sleeping since the city of Accra was made the capital of the Gold Coast in 1877 and then later on, of Ghana when we became an independent nation. This capital city status presented to the Ga state, massive opportunities and advantages with which they could have bolstered the financial, political and cultural status of the Ga people.

Rather, Ga leaders - from those who have headed the district levels, right through the administrative arms of govt, the traditional authorities to the apex of government, embarked on what appears to be a piecemeal sell-out of the Ga state for their greedy and disgusting selfish personal comforts. In this pursuit, they colluded in the past with the colonial oppressors and they have continued with this bad habit by sleeping with the contemporary dispensation of local neocolonial (western "democratic" ) tyrants to deny the indigenes of Accra and indeed the entire country, not only their heritage but a duly deserving and fitting standard of life in return for their extreme sense of nationalism, modesty and kindness in freely hosting the famous capital city of Ghana for well over a century.
The evident cultural attrition suffered as a result by the Ga state, is glaring for all to see.

However it must also be said that the nation of Ghana does not subsist on a federal system. Ghana is one homogenous unitary state and anybody who qualifies to be a Ghanaian, can go to any part of the country and speak, live, work and put up signages in any language they choose to and that is feasible to them. Having said that, I still sympathize with the said Accra Regional Minister and the pain of the Ga people.

That said, I am also immensely confused about the tribalistic posture of the Minister and her equally misinformed sympathizers. She could have handled this matter in a way that will elicit the deserved public sympathy. Are a couple of public signages in twi and ewe the priority problems of the extremely deprived Ga people living in Jamestown, Chorkor, Mudor, La, Teshie, Korle Gonno, Osu, Gbegbeise etc that should be aired with such an outburst?

Looking at the tangent she is on, will the Regional Minister next decide that all streets and public places named after people from other ethnic groups and countries be reverted to Ga names? Will she follow that to also decide that only the Ga language must be spoken in Accra?

Does this Minister not know that the state of Ghana and the colonial oppressors are liable to the Ga state in several billions of outstanding dollars? Is this not a more worthy cause to pursue than her illegitimate grumbling about petty signages? Hasn't she got properly educated, enlightened and well-informed advisors to guide her to save the Ga people from the egregious level of poverty that has besieged them? Proceeding to lock the farm gates after the horses have bolted is hardly the kind of action that will save the plight of the Ga state.

I hope, intelligent Akans will learn their lessons voting NDC out from power coming this election 2028. It is really insane. Looking at where majority of the country's natural resources coming from and used to build Accra. It is about time, we push for clearance. We have to vote again based on tribaline. NDC and especially President is becoming very disappointing. Anytime NPP come to power, we will change the name again and if GA´s wont the fight, national security will meet them. It is a very shameful act against the interest of the majority. You cannot use Akans natural resources to build Accra because it belongs to all of US and come to display your tribalism. We leave to see.

Linda Ocloo answered the question saying "Yes, it is an election, if they say we are buying vote, they NPP should also go look for money and also come buy the vote. What prevents them NPP also from buying votes" That was Linda Ocloo's response. From that moment, I just shook my

We cannot allow multiple signages on our national monuments in Accra as the capital. The Akwaaba should remain as it is because it has been widely used for a long time. This must stop, otherwise we will also add our dagarti sign (Waana) to welcome visitors. Akwaaba must remain our collective symbol of welcoming visitors into our country. Stan Dogbe and his colleagues must desist from this nonsense of imposing ewe signage to the national park. These kinds of actions draw the NDC government back and must stop.

Yes, Accra is capital of the whole Ghana, but is the Ga language even included in the numerous national signage??? Let's be real here...if not absolute right, at least Ga language should be included in signage, particularly, in the capital. Can you imagine, projecting Ga or Eve language on signage in Ashanti while neglecting the Akwaaba or Ga and Asante on signage in the Volta region without including Woezor?

All my children were born in England and they come home with someone from wherever in the world.

What about if the Greater Accra Regional Minister discussed these issues behind closed doors? Where has decorum gone? Being a Minister of State should come with some maturity. There is no point being abrasive on this issue.

Of course, Ga representation is good but we don't need all this noise.

All of these people are leaders and ministers! The only thing that was needed was to include the Ga welcome as well—without any disrespectful or dismissive remarks. Let’s not forget that Accra is the capital of Ghana, and as such, it belongs to every ethnic group in the country. If that’s no longer acceptable, then be honest and tell all Ghanaians that you want to change the capital. Otherwise, show the respect that every community deserves.

At the OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg, the visitors are welcomed in the various local languages, perhaps to inform the traveller of the different ethnic groups in that country. I personally have complained about the "Akwaba" welcome sign at KIA. One day a British person I met sometime ago, on knowing I am Ghanaian welcomed me with "akwaba" and was surprised when I could not reply. To him "akwaba" is how Ghanaians say welcome. I had to educate him that that was not the case. Since KIA is the entry point to Ghana for most foreign visitors, I suggest the welcome signage be in all the major languages, beginning with "Ga".

As a minister, this is what concerns you the most right. The airport is a national monument. By the way, Madam minister, did you hear the Ashantis protesting that baba Yara's name should be removed from the stadium in Kumasi?

I wonder, what are my people really fighting for? Which part of Accra has ever been developed by the Ga people themselves? Almost everything has been done for us. We cannot even come together as one people. Our chiefs are busy fighting each other on social media, even selling our lands to the Akans.

There is no proper development in the true Ga communities. The only places that look developed are those that have been sold to other tribes. Instead of our leaders uniting to bring real development to their people, they are busy arguing about who the legitimate king of the Ga people is. Sometimes, I even feel ashamed of being a Ga. All we seem to think about is taking from outsiders, forgetting that nothing comes for free—because in exchange, they take what is most valuable from us: our land.

Today, about 60% of Ga lands are in the hands of other tribes. They develop those lands, make wealth from them, and then send the profits back to their own villages. Go to Akan lands and see the difference—the development there belongs to their people. But here in Accra, almost everything benefits outsiders, and it all comes down to greed.

Now, we are even fighting over something as small as a welcome sign. Our history is not properly documented or celebrated, yet the Asantes have managed to protect theirs and make it attractive to the world. Public spaces in Accra are national properties, built with the taxes of all Ghanaians—so of course any Ghanaian name can be used there.

But instead of quarreling over these things, we the Ga people should focus on developing our own communities, naming our own projects, and preserving our identity. Even our roads are mostly named in English, which is shameful. Our chiefs need to come together and do what is right. Why should we be fighting over the name of a welcome sign at the airport when there are far greater issues to solve?

Maybe we should use all the dialets in Ghana on all of our signage. What is WRONG if the most popular dialet or dialets are used.

There are more important challenges or problems facing Ghana than signage dialets. The economy, housing, unemployment, roads, water, galamsy, education, crime, health care etc. Let's deal with them.

The greater Accra minister must be applauded for her strong stance on using the ga language as a welcome signage in the Greater Accra region.
Those who chose to use other dialects instead of the ga language have small brains who cannot think. The Ga people have allowed themselves to be trampled on by the other tribes in Ghana especially the Akan tribe.
I am surprised that these so called Ga chiefs including the Ga mantse will sit aloof to permit such rubbish in their backyard. Will the Asantehene permit the use of another dialect besides twi as a signage in the Kumasi metropolis? The Akwabaa signage at the Kotoka airport is an insult to the Ga people . This signage must be changed . Recently the Ga mantse in his wisdom suggested to sleepy Akuffo Addo to change the name of Greater Accra region to Ga-Adangbe region and his response was an insult to the wisdom of the Ga mantse.
The Ga -mantse should re-visit the same idea with President Mahama to change the name of the region to Ga -Adangbe region to reflect the whole ethnicity of the region . Ghanaians with weak minds will see this as tribalism but this is far from it . The Ga -Adangbe people must wake up to be recognized in the country.

Advice to the Minister: Lead with Unity, Not Exclusivity

Honorable Minister, your commitment to preserving Ga cultural identity is deeply valid. The Ga people deserve recognition, respect, and visibility—especially in their ancestral lands. But cultural pride must never come at the expense of national unity. Ghana is not a mosaic of isolated tribes—it is a tapestry of interconnected languages, histories, and hopes.

The signage at civic landmarks like Kotoka International Airport or the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park is not just local—it is national. These are spaces that welcome Ghanaians from all regions and visitors from around the world. To reject the Ewe greeting “Woezor” is to risk sending a message that some citizens are less welcome than others. That is not just politically risky—it is morally un-Ghanaian.

Ghana’s Strength Is Its Diversity

Ghana is home to over 80 languages. Each one carries the dignity of a people. To elevate one language while excluding others in public spaces undermines the very democratic and multicultural values our Constitution enshrines. As the Ghana Tourism Authority rightly stated, no single authority should erase culturally significant greetings without broad consultation.

A Constructive Path Forward

Instead of removing Woezor, consider rotational multilingual signage—a civic gesture that honors Ga, Ewe, Akan, Dagbani, and other languages in turn. This affirms cultural equity and educates citizens and visitors alike. You could also champion a National Language Inclusion Charter, developed collaboratively with the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, the Ghana Tourism Authority, and the National Commission on Culture.

Leadership That Unites

True leadership is not about defending borders—it’s about expanding belonging. You have the opportunity to turn this moment of tension into a ceremonial turning point. Let Accra be a city that welcomes Akwaaba, Woezor, Oobakɛ, and more—not just in words, but in spirit.

Would the minister support the view that every Region should take control of it's natural resources for their development?

We Need a Thoughtful Approach. There's no Need to Throw Flames. This issue calls for careful examination. The Regional Minister must not use careless, explosive, and irresponsible language in discussing national issues. We need a thoughtful approach. Rather, the Regional Minister is fanning the embers of ethnicity, which shows recklessness. Regardless of the problems of the nation, the national entity must hold. Already, there are signs in English, Akan, and Ewe (in limited instances). Most of the signs are in non-Ghanaian neo-colonialist language. Many streets and monuments in Acrra bear the name of the colonists. The Minister is fanning ethnic flames. Cultural revival is important. But the development of the national ethos must shape that revival. Otherwise, we become crabs turning on each other.
