    This is the very first time I've read something sensible from the "fufu ne abɛnkwan" professor and the Sefwi criminal indigene.

    Ashantis will surely separate themselves from Ghana it's doesn't matter how long it will take, majority of Ashantis support that idea, they are just waiting for their leaders to make the move.

    Most non Akans believe that Ashantis is the Ghana's biggest problem, so they should declare their independence and let us see Ghana will become American.

    The people of Ashanti were a blessing to Ghana and remain so today.

    With a history of imperial power, the fear of Ashanti (a region curved out by colonialism) remain unfounded - except inthe heads of those who pander belie ...

    So ask yourself, what happened to Denkyira. Simply put they were defeated by the Ashantes. That is why Ashantes became conquerers and whoever they defeated was not treated as outcast but was integrated into the Ashanti kingdo ...

    Professor Ahwoi is speaking from the past - the reason is that Ghana is stuck!

    All nations are advanced by leaders within a process that sideline bigots and tribalists!

    And that time has come upon Ghana to advance (and not just develop) because the natural lifecycle of a colonial Ghana is over - soci ...

    Where Professor Ahwoi is right - too advance, the number of regions in a country has to be optimal - not too many (3-5 million people per region)
