Ghana Threat Assessment

I wrote an article last week to further condemn tribalism, and some of the comments made left me confused. Some are claiming that the tribalism issue is not at a level to be overly concerned. Therefore articles on the subject are counter-productive. While there are those who are of the opinion that it is an issue which must be addressed. As the self proclaimed peace broker, and in order for my mission to be successful, I need to know the opinion of the forum in order to properly assess the situation on the ground.I have therefore decided to conduct a survey on the matter.

Will you please take a few moments from your busy schedule to answer the following questions?

1. Is tribalism an issue we need to be concerned about? YES NO

2. Is it necessary to continue to write articles on the subject? YES NO

3. Should we tolerate tribal sentiments here at the forum? YES NO

4. Should there be an ethical code of conduct on tribal issues? YES NO

5. Is there a need for education on tribal unity YES NO

6. Is tribalism a threat to Ghana’s security/future? YES NO

7. Are we united enough as a nation? YES NO

8. Is the forum the appropriate place to express tribal sentiments? Y/O

9. Would there ever be a civil war in Ghana? Y/N, If yes why?

10. ANY OTHER COMMENT.

Thanks for your time.
