Now Ghanaians don't speak their God giving language anymore. They feel ashamed speaking their language in public. White man asked for my name one time and when I mentioned my name Michael, he kept asking me what is your name? Again, I said Michael. The next question was, where you from? I replied Ghana. And he said, Ghanaians don't have their own names? So I wrote my own local name to him. After him mentioned my name, he said, you have a beautiful name and you calling yourself Michael. You see, that's why they always look down on us. We have neglected own.

Also praises to honorable MP Eric Kwakye Dafour. For defending the integrity of our mother tongue, I am hoping that very soon the shaving of our young female's hair in schools would be abolished. Vestiges of colonialism must be permanently eradicated From all aspects of African society.

If you rather appreciate a foreign language go ahead ( mind you, it comes with a PRICE), but people who do not have complex stick to their God's given language and culture.

JJ.......why don't you come up with something sensible, rather than insulting your fellow Ghanaians by promoting their lingos and helping to create jobs in your country.

I am Ghanaian, first and foremost.....Hausa, Twi, Ga or whatever......I will help promote them.

You are a typical victim of an enslaved mind (no offence, I am not blaming you but, the colonialists education system we have hanged on to, is the cause of your outbursts).

You ought to look deep into yourself and thank the likes of 'Charcoal Seller' and H.S. FIRE for enlightening you.

GOD BLESS GHANA!

state thinking speaking the slave masters language would put food on their table or creates jobs for them,but the tribe they continue to insults are rather moving forward stronger creating jobs,making progress all over so if you're inferiority complex would not allow you to think out of the box in order to help yourself and make history then go ahead.

That "civil war" will probably end up at the door of your house.

There will definitely be a local language up for a pick as a national language, like it or not. If Physics can be written in English, same can be done for any Ghanaian language. If you open your physics or biology book many of the words originated from other languages other than english. That is the beauty of language: it borrows, adopts, and grows if you use it, or dies if you ignore it.

Stop being ignorant and think postively and believe in what you have and what you are, or risk being a follower and marginalized by ABROFO forever!!

The 'MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT' so-called education system is what is keeping us poor, even with the abundance of our rich natural resources.........

'In the abundance of water, the FOOL is thirsty' - Quote: Bob Marley.

How true this is.........

We have been made to believe and to accept that speaking of another lingo and aping around the lifestyles of others, other than our own.......is education. And in the process - acquiring degrees on paper by means of CHEW, POUR, PASS and FORGET.....and leaving behind our God-given COMMON SENSE.

Thank God the local media houses has generated more jobs in a short space of time, than any other English speaking ones. The 'wise ones' are creating jobs for for our people, irrespective of their background etc..... That IS....the African way.....OUR way! And may it continue to make Africans realize that we can generate our own prosperity by means of our own lingos within our own. (PLEASE THINK DEEPLY ABOUT IT).

GOD BLESS GHANA!
