Ga is only 5% percent of the population in Ghana and consider how many people speak Ga? Akan language is the most common language spoken in Ghana and not Ga language. Stop tribal bigotry.

These Gas are saying the Greater Accra Region should be renamed Ga Adangbe Region. Why are they so? By logic, it means Easten Region should be renamed Akyem Region or Kwawu Region, Central Region must be renamed Fante Region, Volta Region renamed Ewe Region, Western Region be renamed Sefwi Wiawso Region, Northern Region be named Dagbon Region, others should be named Kussasi Region, Mamprusi Region, Gonja Region and so on. How can the Ga tribe have such a shallow mentality? How? As if the Accra which being developed from all the Ghanaian tax payer has rather being developed from their "Donkomi" lands and houses procceds they have sold to others, used the money to chop kenkey.How should others become your bother, when you have so cheapen yourselves? You need to rethink and do better introspections about yourselves before hating others.

Brain dead moron this nana aba is. Why not suggest that kumasi airport be pasted with Oobake then. It's tribalistic for Ga's to ask for proper representation IN THEIR OWN LANDS?

WHO CAME UP WITH THE WOEZOR IDEA? 3 months ago

Why Woezor? If Woezor, then add the welcome greetings from all our tribes. The Ewes say they own Kente, own Komfo Anokye, own Akpeteshie which is a Ga word. That behaviour is a sign of insecurity and inferiority complex. Until now, nobody had any issues with Akwaaba until Ayigbe insisted on adding Woezor. Ayigbe people move to other regions and rename towns, villages, why? Meanwhile they’ll never accept other bringing along new names to Ayigbe. Ayigbe, Ayigbe, Ayigbe oooo no, no, no.

Ayigbes are Gas people because it is the King of the Gas called Nii Ayi who run away to Aneho in Togo Republic when war routed him to sek refuge with the Ewes in their homeland . After the war , he was asked to come back and he refused . He said , Nii Ayi Ayy gbe and it became Ayibge as we all know it today. So truthfully, it was the Gas who are called Ayigbe not Ewes .

Akwaaba is a Twi or Akan language and not Asante language. Asante is a tribe, not a language. The Asantes got to learn a lesson from this tribal bigotry. The majority of Ghanaians speak and understand Twi and not Ga.

When will these Ga's be content a bit,haha!? It is all of Ghana 's wealth that was used to develope Accra.How much of this wealth do the Ga's own? The parcels of land in Accra that they sell for as much as 5 million dollars would have cost not more than Ghc2,000.00 had it been located in other regions.They should rather thank their stars and moons that Ghana's Capital is on their land.

In many countries the signage "welcome" is rendered in 3,4 or even more languages at International Airports and Ports. So for example if you arrive at an International airport in Europe you are likely to be greeted by signs in English,Spanish,Portuguese, Italian,German, Polish and Chinese Mandarin.
That is regarded as good public relations.Perhaps we could do the same for the more widely spoken languages with representaive from each region ( I am using the word "region" rather loosely).

Everyone's name is the most important word in his language (this is why no one wants to be call "Hey") and every man's native language is the most important elemnet of his cultural identification. Therefore, however small we are in population and land size is our language is our number one culutural identification and very important for us. Let go of your language and your identity will vanish in a generation. This is not a tribal issue this is a cdultural preservation of a people, their language and traditions for the generation yet unborn.

There must not be one language there. Twi, Ga, Ewe, English, French are ideal. Puting one language there is not even the right thing. Eg in China they can't just put Chinise there because not everybony can ready.

Nana Aba Anamoah's idea of tribalism is fatally flawed. It is rather tribalistic to ignore to use the language of the host people of any land. The Greater Accra Regional minister is dead on point for raising this matter which is so relevant to GaDangme people. Let me ask Nana Ana Anamoah this simple question: will it be appropriate to see 'Oobaake' at the Kumasi airport or the Baba Yara stadium? It is about time that Greater Accra is named GaDangme Region.
