    Kindly remind me when & where (I think I missed that remarks if he did) did the writer Paa Appiah (which Paa Appiah?)made such accusation on the Black Stars coach.
    I also think that we all 99% were proud to have a Blac ...

    If you want to see tribalism, look at the president's appointees. Now that is what we call tribalism.

    Why are Ashantis being hated all out these days. They even sometimes classify only Ashantis as Akans. Look the Kwahus, Akyem, Fantis, Sehwi, Brong, Akwapims and Akwamus and many others are all Akans. Look if the Akans would ...

    BLIND TRIBALISM WILL NOT LEAD US ANYWHERE AKWASI APPIAH HAS LEARNT HIS LESSONS. GIVE HIM PEACE TO DO HIS WORK.NO ONE SHOULD ACCUSE HIM OF TRIBALISM.

    In my opinion only the best should always represent Ghana. If on the field of play, the best 11 selected happen to be from one father and mother, they should represent Ghana. However we should give every one opportunity to be ...

    That's not the issue at stake. People are accusing the coach of tribalism and we want to hear your comments on that. Period.

    the article is a piece of rubbish, silly and unthoughtful. some things are better not exacerbated.

  • dan acids 11 years ago

    what a. appiah ( his name in small letters intentional) and GFA did to ghanaians is disgusting and more than tribal attributes. i see tribalism in all the operations of the GFA and the national team. first, coach Sellas T. ( ...

    Nobody who is a true Ghanaian would be happy with the outcome of Bs performance, especially in their penalty shootouts. This in no way make AP a tribalist. Some people have had the view that all people with Akan names are Asa ...

  • KANEWU 11 years ago

    THE USE OF TRIBALISM IN THIS WRITE-UP MEANS AKANS, NOT ONLY ASHANTIS, OUTNUMBER PLAYERS OF OTHER TRIBES, AND THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE IN GHANA FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL.

    DO NOT LIMIT JAMES AKWASI APPIAH'S TRIBALISM TO ASHANTIS ON ...

    The dude called Paa Appiah is f00l anyway. Only Kwadwo Asamoah is an Asante in the team as far as i am aware. Akwasi Appiah himself is from the BA and a m0r0n like him didn't even know that.

    He probably thought every Akan ...

    Accusing the coach of tribalism is not the issue, it is rather the MAFIA at GFA that is causing the downward trend of Ghana football. They dictate the selection for him at his own risk. Remember Milo didn't give in to their s ...
