WHERE FROM THIS, OGA?
Glad about the meeting. However, you need to put away the crack pipe, mon Ami. While you are at it, please leave Ningo, Dwaben and anything that smells like snubbing Akwamu/Akyem/Akwapim roles in Ga-Dangme history/tradition out of these pre-school lullabies of yours.
BE SORRY! BE VERY, VERY, SORRY!!

I am not surprised by the sudden elevation of your BP for a perceived lack of acknowledgement of certain tribes by Mr. Allotey. I am certain you do not dispute what has been presented but rather what is missing from the article. If you know any different make your contribution rather than resort to this subtle reference to 'crack pipe'; 'pre-school lullabies'. You sound more intelligent than that. Lets Please present healthy and positive attitudes. BE SORRY! BE VERY, VERY, SORRY!!

Seriously, I am a bit befuddled by the excessive antagonism expressed by Mr. Allotey over a dynamic effort to celebrate the Ga-Adangme people of Ghana. Ga-Adangmes are a subtle, warm and tolerant people. It is for this very reason that we as Ghanaians have enjoyed immense solidarity amongst a very diversified cultural and ethnic configuration, compared to other African countries, and I don't foresee this bond being broken, despite some of the atrocious utterances by political and hegemonic groups.
We as Ga-Adangmes do not need to join the food fight over superiority of our tribal and primitive past.
Let us enjoy this day and actually invite our Hausa, Ewe, Ashanti, Nzema, Dagomba, Brong, Kwahu, Akwapim and other ethnic groups to join us in the celebration. Ghana is for all Ghanaians, and even our neighbors across our borders, what we need to do rather are to solicit for financial power amongst ourselves to develop and empower Ga-Adangmes along the coast of Ghana. This is how we can sustain respect of our dignity, language and culture, else we will be ridiculed, even by people we may consider lesser than us.
I wish you a successful conference, but for heaven’s sakes, be circumspect and think beyond the box for the good of the Ga-Adangme youth, but not for our unfounded selfish past pride. I cast aspersions at other groups who from time to time attempt to draw the same antagonistic lines as a Ghanaian cultural and ethnic group. Think again Mr. Allotey, quite frankly there is not a single dignified, polished and glorious Ghanaian ethnic group past or present that has any chest pumping rights. What we need is humility and solidarity to develop our respective cultural and ethnic groups for the good of our nation, but rather we're all competing for the most primitive, most poor, most ridiculous, most uncouth, most confused and most unsophisticated group of people in Ghana today. Stop it!, and I urge others who have been practicing this same sort of abject ignorance to heed my advice.
Thanks, and have a great day!!!

It is time to move forward. No need for anyone to waste energy on tribal superiority arguments.

Allotey, note this; New Dwaben is on Akyem Abuakwa Adonteng and Akuapem lands and not on Ga land, they are not refugees, if they are refugees, the Ga people are also refugees from Nigeria on Akuapem and Akwamu lands and Gas can never do anything positive in Ghana until they stop their stupid litigations and do proper work.

It is not unusual to BE attacked for this article since this is the first of it's kind. It is a surprise that a non GA's one sentence description of where of GA origin and without any proof had for years been their delight.Sadly even thought he wrote of the origin of GAS there was nothing about his and others. Mr Allotey is trying to write Ga history and I am sure he is willingly to accept genuine corrections. We read worse things always and even the e-media but that was ok for them. GHANA is blessed and will always be peaceful. You tolerated the others why feel agitated by this one. We wish this meeting a great SUCCESS

What crap is this?: "Ga capital became the Colonial capital after being bombarded with British missiles from Her Majesty warships in 1857 when the people opted for an Independent Republic of Accra, led by King Taki Tawia I and Owula James Briandt. Also in 1876 there was another British attack on King Taki Tawia I and seizure of Kinka (Victoriaborg) by British Governor Herbert Ussher, which declared Ga the Colonial Capital to pre-empt an attempted invasion of the Asante Kingdom by Ga forces".
