    Akufo Addo Balkanization Plan is Unwise!

    How is creation of more regions going to bring development to any part?

    Stop this nonsense!

    And we were only concerned about the trivial --- what name to call the new part?

    This is no nonsense as you think but well thought of to bring about cohesion and development. Ahafo's in the past have been sidelined by the Brongs and it's about time they set free to uphold their true identity. Ahafo's are ...

  • Jame 7 years ago

    Any president or government who tries to create any region is divisive and not a unity-oriented to bring Ghanaians to together. If you want geographical development for a certain area in Ghana, you create districts and munici ...

    USA has their 50 states without division but they are developed. Akufu-Addo go and create Akyim region in the E/R and leave my BA alone. As others are fighting to maintain EU, We are creating OTI and Ahafo region.

    Good analysis, but let me point out to you that Banda people do not hail from the North as stated. They are natives of Brong-Ahafo and you can find this out on the net. It seems in Ghana anyone who does not hail from Greater ...

    Pls why can't u address issues devoid of passions
    This is what Osagyefo Oseadeayo Nana Agyemang Badu has passionately spoken against.
    I personally do not support the idea but will not travel that line of conversation.

  • Proud Asanteman 7 years ago

    Ahafo are Asantes so the region should be called Asante Ahafo. Region.

  • Amanfour 7 years ago

    Point of correction; not all people in Ahafo ate Asante. The people of Bomaa are actually Dormaas and the people of Kukuom are not Asante either.

    Ashanti region must first be divided by the npp and then the others.

  • Norvinyo 7 years ago

    Absolutely! Divide Ashanti first. Most Ghanaians have regretted voting NPP into power. A word to the wise is enough!

  • Jake 7 years ago

    Point of correction: Berekum is not a Bono traditional area. The fact that many people there speak Bono doesn't make them Bono people. The same way that Tarkwa is not a Fante, but a Wassa Traditional area, albeit they speak ...

    You make no sense at all. Every region Tha exists now was once created by or under a president. Why wasn't that divisive? As late as 1983 or so Ghana had 9 regions, not 10,as you seem to take for granted. If the creation of t ...

  • Kwabena Gyamfi 7 years ago

    The indigenous people of Ahafo are Asantes. For me it is very appropriate for the creation of Ahafo region. Perhaps the most appropriate name for the new region should be Asante West Region. After all the Asantehene is the cu ...

    Ask Kwame Nkrumah why he carved the Bono Ahafo region out of the Ashanti region. Again why did he force the Ahafos who are Ashantis to be part of the new region despite their resistance and insistance to be part of Ashanti.

    They should not forget of the land Nkrumah borrowed from the Gonjas adding up to create the Brong Ahafo Region. We also need it to add up to our land to stand the chance of getting our own region too.

  • Obrefo 7 years ago

    Talking about Ahafo, you failed to recognized Ahafo Ano constituencies as part of Ahafo. More over, Ahafo is just a symbolic proposed name. This issue is not new, it was started in the 70s by Dr. Ahafo Adjei from Goaso for a ...
