    "Bunch of pathetic idiots. Are we really incapable of divorcing political opposition to Nana Akufo Addo from hatred for Akans? Are you telling us that if the man Akufo Addo suddenly become Buem or Krobo, those of us pursuing ...

    Cardinal you have a point in that personally I do not see any common sense in this case that is been pursued by Kpegah and the NDC bigwigs hiding behind him.

    What I hate about the whole case is where some of our NPP advoca ...

  • CARDINAL 11 years ago

    Bishop, you are right, the fact that Justice Kpegah is an Ewe and sued Nana in court does not have to be a war between Akans and Ewes and that I hope is what this Henry was trying to say but why did he attack Akans with insul ...

    He started what would have been a great article but ended up with his own anti Akan diatribes. Sometimes I wonder if people are aware of how connected Ghanaians had become lately.

    Inter ethic dating is so rampant and whet ...

    We will continue to insult the ewes untill they stop their bullshit. When it is Woyome then ewe parasites support him. What stops us from supporting Akuffo Addo who has not committed any crime.

    faking a certificate is a crime

  • Kman 11 years ago

    Article heading raised a sensible concern. I started to read it and realised it was just full of of tribalistic crap. Until we treat tribalism the same as racism is treated in the UK, we will not move forward as a nation.

  • CROSS 11 years ago

    CARDINAL you are very right. The very people who pretend to mean well when they speak on tribal issues are very clannish. Can Henry show us one single article authored by him that speaks against the way and manner they cruci ...

    When Nkrumah passed a law banning political parties based on tribal affiliation, we went gaga and slept with the enemy and kicked him out and turned around and did exactly what he said we shouldn't do, and ever since it has b ...

  • Koo Mensah 11 years ago

    The ex-judge - what's his name? - Kpegah would never have brought up this case in court if Nana Addo was Ewe.
    Henry Allotey, the writer, must be sincere to himself and admit this much.

    The market women are dealing with small money and have no ambition to send their "C" student sons and daughters abroad for" higher education". Meanwhile, their so-called educated brothers want to do all that and more, and tha ...

    They are stupid, full of envy of others (ewes, northerners, the success of the ayews, etc)and no wonder they are less intelligent species.

  • Akadu Mensema 11 years ago

    Shame you can even defend your name! here you are defending Kpega!

  • Adongo Tongo 11 years ago

    This is a piece of trash. If the demented Kpegah had a valid case, why did the High Court throw out the case? The notorious squatter Kpegah, should vacate the government bungalow. Ewes are always looking for government hando ...

    I want this on going court case to be the beginning of the break up. Yugoslavia, Chech and Sudan are all passed memories so why not Ghana.

    The tribalists in our society either Akan or Ewe are tearing the nation apart. Most of us don't dislike each other. Some Akans are arrogant and some Ewes are envious of Akan majority and success. That small group of Ghanaia ...

    Just as an NDC BIGOT put it in the initial stages of this Election Judicial fight, "Ashantis and Akyems only want to rule Ghana". Here it is the envy of Akans by Ewes that is at the Heart of tribalism. An Akan won the electio ...
