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 not Brongs and have been subjected to criticisms and threats anytime they pay their allegiance to the Golden stool or Manhyia. Similar threats and mayhem has been unleashed to natives of Tuabodom who are not Brongs by Techiman chief and natives. Same can be said about Asantes/Akans in the Volta region who have been neglected for years by their Ewe neighbors. The proposed Oti and Ahafo regions must not be delayed because they are both long overdue!!!!!!

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 municipalities and not regions because all the dirty works on ground are done by the districts. Regions are just mere administrative offices with no serious work for humanity. It is better for people to ask for more creations of districts and municipalities for betterment of their lives rather than regions.

Is not about creation of region now, people are suffering and were crying for rescue, He must think about how peopeA man married a beautiful girl. He loved her very much. One day she developed a skin disease. Slowly she started to lose her beauty. It so happened that one day her husband left for a tour.
While returning he met with an accident and lost his eyesight. However their married life continued as usual. But as days passed she lost her beauty gradually. Blind husband did not know this and there was not any difference in their married life. He continued to love her and she also loved him very much.
One day she died. Her death brought him great sorrow.
He finished all her last rites and wanted to leave that town.
A man from behind called and said, now how will you be able to walk all alone? All these days your wife used to help you.
He replied, I am not blind. I was acting, because if she knew l could see her ugliness it would have pained her more than her disease. So I pretended to be blind. She was a very good wife. I only wanted to keep her happy.
Moral:- *Some times it is good for us to act blind and ignore one another's short comings, in order to be happy*
*No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That's the spirit of FORGIVENESS. Even though the eyes don't see each other, they see things together, blink simultaneously and cry together. That's UNITY." May the Lord grant us all the spirit of forgiveness and togetherness*.
1. ''Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'talk'.
2. "Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can celebrate
3. 'Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'.
*That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other*
The razor blade is sharp but can't cut a tree; the axe is strong but can't cut the hair.
*MORALS*; *Everyone is important according to his/her unique purpose,Never look down on anyone unless you are admiring their shoes

Soon, most people will be disillusioned with the politics of Ghana especially now that the notorious NPP is in power. Notorious for creating confusion and their diabolical plan of diving the country to their advantage.
The question is why not divide Ashanti region which is seen as the beligerent region in Ghana alongside Northern region but rather divide smaller region like Volta ?
The reason is simple; break down all the regions noted for NDC's support and weaken them. After all the newly created regions would bear allegiance to the government that created them, the NPP. So if Volta for instance used to give NDC more votes, those votes would simply be divided into two. Otherwise, why not leave Volta alone and the other regions alone ?
This is dirty politics of which the effects will be felt by generations to come. And this is one reason why the regions concerned should stand out and reject NPP's wicked plans now ! There's much wisdom in Kwame Nkrumah's plan never to divide this country, in fact, he united them. A party such as NPP noted for creating chaos since its inception ( what happened to the ministry responsible for "modernisation of the capital " under Kuffour's regime? ), and other laughable ideas, such party should never, ever rule the Ghanaian people. Seriously, the 2016 general election that NPP manipulated and rigged thanks to the Ghanaian NASA man was a devil's act and should never have happened. Vote NPP out in 2020 and let the NDC bring back sanity into the country.

Development and administration issues in the country can best be addressed through proper employment of good governance procedures, decentralization, technology, not by splitting up the nation. Even if the country is split into million regions, without proper governance procedures, we will remain at the place. ICT, in todays world, aids effective administration and development of a nation. Proper decentralization, to bring governance to the door step of the people is the proper way the world over. Dividing country into regions only increases cost, encourages corruption, etc. The decentralization agenda of the country should be expedited in order to make live better for citizens of the Ghana.

The same is happening in Central region, tell me, when was the first and last time you saw a regional minister from an Assin Land?

I told you guys in one of my comments in yesterday's issues that Akufo Addo is the most incompetent president we have ever had - it's only unnecessary things that he has been able to do so far. What a lunatic junkie of a pres ...

The creation of the Ahafo Region is long overdue. The people agitated for this during the PNDC era; was assumed but never materialized. l strongly believe the good people of Ahafo will forever be grateful to the NPP for the c ...

point of correction,Yaa naa is not the king of mole Dagbani but the king of Dagbon ie Dagomba. Take note.
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 ...

Soon, most people will be disillusioned with the politics of Ghana especially now that the notorious NPP is in power. Notorious for creating confusion and their diabolical plan of diving the country to their advantage.

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.
Ahafo are Asantes so the region should be called Asante Ahafo. Region.
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.
infact the Man is Wise about t his decision.
If you were referring to the 'miniature president ', is he wise? People like Akuffo Addo should never have been allowed to rule a peaceful country like Ghana where, with outrageous plans he just wanted to call himself a presi ...

Go and divide ashant region stupid president
I couldn't agree more. Go and divide Ashanti region, dimunitive president ( a lookalike of Segeio Aguero of Man City)
We are waiting for him,go and divide Akyem land first.
Yes, let's start from that corner, the Akyem corner!
I believe is good for his excellency president of the republic of Ghana to create more region to facilitate development within the country, but our problem as Gonjas we are pleading with His excellency not to split our lands ...

Ashanti region must first be divided by the npp and then the others.
Absolutely! Divide Ashanti first. Most Ghanaians have regretted voting NPP into power. A word to the wise is enough!
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 ...

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.

Your useless uneducated father is rather stupid.
Asahnti region was divided by Kwame Nkrumah leading to.us having BA now. Ask Kwame Nkrumah why he refused to leave the Ahafos as part of Ashanti.... useless fool!
I think the president should bring upper east and upper west together western and central together than to creat more devision
Is time for ghana to unite not to devide. This idea will bring more devision not develoment please Mr President
Yaa NAA is NOT the king of Mamprusi but DAGOMBAs. Infact when kinship was highly respected, any problem regarding the KINGSHIP of Dagbon was settled before the Mamprugu king, bcoz the former saw the latter as the eldest of th ...

Norvinyo you see, you are an idiot. If you don't want to see his Excellency Nana Addo as president of Ghana go and burn the sea.
Twi votes separation exercise. Nothing else
very nice piece.i told a colleague the same thing.i wonder which town of ahafo going to get the regional capital.
Ghana now we need to be united but not divided,so the creation of new regions will cause more problems than good.
Yes Ahafo Region is very good. The Brongs are always cheating the Ahafo people. There is no development in Ahafo area, it is always in the Brong area. Look how many municipality they have compared to the Ahafo. Nana please br ...

I trust the president, good idea
Then he should devide his region before any other region abd even the Ashanti region
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.
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 ...
