    By the way,Greater Accra is not an Akan region,it's a Ga region.
    Basically,NPP has only 2 strongholds in the Ashanti and Eastern régions with a very strong support.This is mainly because of Busia and Danquah.Mind you,the Ea ...

    Kofi's piece is opportune and straight to the point. Not sure what you mean by he should stay off his hogs. Many of you are unable to differentiate between pun, sarcasm, and other types of figurative writing. Kofi knows his s ...

    I have not made tribal comments here apart of reminding the author of this article that Nana Addo won the Greater Accra region which is not Akan.There are only 3 régions in Ghana that vote in the same way always,their voting ...

    Thanks for your detailed comments.

    I think Kojo was directing his comments to the writer rather than to you even though he put it in your thread.

    I don't really know what Kojo meant by making a point devoid of tribal ...

    There's is difference when you are talking of a city and of a region.You see I do agree with you that in the Accra/Tema metropolis Akans presence is well felt.I'm not sure that it's the same outside the metropolis.That's exac ...

    BUT the population of the city is about upwards of 80% of the entire GA/R. So I think it can now be solidly considered an Akan region.

    Kofi,

    An ethnic breakdown census of Greater Accra I saw a couple of years ago put Ewes as the largest ethnic group, at 20%!

    I personally think it is a function of the Ewe clans among the Dangbes identifying themselves ...

    We voted for change because we believe in Nana Addo and the Npp to perform creditably based on their past performance as you want us to believe and secondly this ethnic/tribal thing you brought in is so unnecessary. Both majo ...

    Czar k. are you trying to say that the elections were completely devoid of tribal sentiments? Or you just don't want ugly facts to be mentioned?

    Of course, all of us wish things were much better...

    DEMOCRACY IS UTOPIAN. NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS DEMOCRATIC.
    DEMOCRACY EXISTS ON PAPER.

    Well said Kofi.

  • Kofi Amenyo 7 years ago

    Thanks, Francis. I would've loved a little bit more in your comment but some of the arguments I make here here mirror your own arguments in numerous articles you've written over the years so I understand your reticence.

  • Francis kwarteng 7 years ago

    Kofi,

    Now, you have also become a very sophisticated mind-reader in addition to being an excellent writer.

    You have read my thoughts so well.

    What more can I say?

    I have always enjoyed your writings nonetheless. A ...

    Although G/A Region is mainly for Gas, Akans have dominated the area with their numbers, so Kofi is right to point out that G/A is heavily Akan, in terms of votes cast for Akufo-Addo.

    Some have taken umbrage at Kofi's com ...

    How can this writer assign tribalism to what the voters did to Mahama and his posse? It seems seems some writers can't think beyond their preconceived notions to what ever occurs politically in Ghana. They enjoy beating this ...
