Bruce must be reminded that God who has created him and his ally tribes in Ghana is the same God who has created Gonjas and all other tribes in the North in Ghana. It is imperative for all Ghanaians to understand that Ghana belong to all tribes in Ghana irrespective of the size and intellectual strength and fame of that tribe or group. We must strive extinguish the flame of tribal dycotomy and ethnocentrism in Ghana

This article is a perfect and very informative rejoinder to elaborate on issues concerning Gonjas. So many people misconstrue the names of people of the north and consider them as one ethnicity. Gonjas are only one single tribe in northern Ghana out of over a 100 tribes. Besides the Prez being a Gonja Man, he has so far nominated only one as a minister designate. What was the article talking about? Ignorance will send many Ghanaians to their early grave. God have mercy

C'mmon, Kashaa, don't be petrified at the new coinage "Gonja Mafia". Membership doesn't need to be of native Gonja extraction. I've already applied to join, with the very good credentials I hold. My great grand father married 32 Gonja women and was made a sub-chief near the Daboya area, among other linkages directly even Mahama himself. For instance, we're in Damongo when he was born there and his stepmother was one of my 100s of aunties. I am not joking.

But as an Ewe and and Anlo to boot, I've become used to such jaundiced craps from fellow Ghanaians, the Akanfuo of the Matemeho tradition, and so was much amused by it all, even though he spoiled my fun by inventing an "Anlo Mafia" to replace the alleged "Dzelukope Mafia" of Rawlings. I thought we Ewes at least would be getting some break under the Mahama Papacy, and now he stabbed me in the heart with the Anlo Mafia drivel.

Of course, when names are mentioned as Ewes in certain posts, we find several of such persons to be Akans or Ga-Adangmeis. Most Ewes just say leave those foolish "gbemelas" alone and don't bother to point out those errors. Those of us who do so are said to be wasting our time but I disagree with them for many reasons. I therefore like the way you came out to challenge this Bruce but I wish you were a little bit less heavy on the English.:-) And more detailed on the tribal origins of all the other Northerners named.

BTW, I think Bruce is not an NPP man but a supporter of the Fante Confederacy who thinks their dominance in the NDC is slipping. They make the re-organisation of the Nkrumaist tradition very difficult too, with the hold they have in the CPP. I first heard of Dzelukope Mafia from an NDC operative, someone who even became a Dep. Minister. I think these NDC factions should give us a break with their noisy in-fighting and deliver. They are only winning because the majority of Ghanaian homes have always been against the UP camp and pro-CPP, an allegiance they have shifted to the NDC due to the splintered nature of the Nkrumahist tradition.

This is wonderful. I was taken aback when I read the article yesterday with some strange names referred to us Gonjas and their mafiasm. Indeed, Ghanaians need to understand some basic things about ethnicity in Ghana. Anybody can become anything as destined by God and that is the more reason why Obama as an African became President of the US.God has a reason for every creature.

Give it up! Are a library or an archive? If not why should you be "petrified to hear for the first" anything? Some of you defend politicians simply because of tribal leanings! Mahama's govt is like Kufour's: full of his "tribespeople". Thus Gonja mafia or whatever is just a descriptive metaphor! In sum, yours is as much an opinion as the author's!

Mahama has grossly betrayed the trust Ghanaians reposed in him by shamelessly appointing 80% of his ministers from the north. This has polarised the nation and to me this is a dimwit act.

You cut no ice with your crappy article. The fact is the president has goofed and done a helluva dastardly act by his skewed and biased appointments and majority of Ghanaians are angry.

Is always said illitracy is when you did not set your foot in any classroom before but Nana Akuffo-Addo and his function of the NPP has proved that to be false.they really shows that a well educated person can be illiterate and Mr. Bruce is part.no wonder in Nana Akuffo-Addo's campaign message he has a portion of free SHS education for his members like Mr. Bruce and his functions.Ghana is our beloved country.Ghana is for everybody and not for NDC or NPP.i will sound a word of caution to those educated illiterate who uses the Ghanaweb to ruin insults on the president.my word to them is that H.E the president of Ghana is voted into power by the majority and who ever plans of evil deeds will never be spared at all.Ghana is a peaceful country and will remain peaceful.

Akadu, you are more ignorant about tribes at the north. You simply think everybody coming from north is one tribe and coannot make any distinction between tribes from the north. The same way You cannot refer a Denkyira to Akuapim or Asante to Bono or even Ga-Adangme to Ewe is the same way there are differences in tribes at the north. The President has not appointed his tribesmen as you made allusion. Please make proper research before coming at people.

Today in Mahama's Ghana,all Ntafours like this writer who should be helping carrying toilet and weeding the cocoa farm for better yeilds can confidently spew nonsense for tribal expediency.The writer of the original article himself sounded like a die hard NDC who is very much aware of what he was talking about.However, what we have here as a rejoinder is just another tribalistic idiocratic nonsense.What has the original article got to do with NPP for this semi demi literate to unleash his tribal hatred on the only democratic party in Ghana.Whatever happen for the next 8 years with mahama at the helms of affairs none, of the regions in north can become like our proud Asante region where the hardorking and sensible Asantes have proudly and deligently worked to develop.Ntaffour will still continue to be the toilet carriers,farm hands and watchmen because freely educated northerners like this stupid Nuhu and mahama the teaf will never dream of building mansions and developing there,how stupid!

You disregard you fellow and you disregard God.God made Man in His own image and expect us to do unto ourselves what we will like others to do to us. Why this continues hatred and tread foot of individuals in this modern times of civilization. Everybody is equally capable as the other and must consider all us potential something good in soceity.God is well aware in whatever state we find ourselves and has given us enough room to improve to the status He wish for us.Let no one call the bluff to undermine any Human created by God.
