AND SO WHAT ?


Don't be so hard on Banahene.
We all know she is Ga by her name but the Ayensu distorts the whole picture.

If we were doing a ethnic survey on appointments, we can say rightly say this is balanced. Equal Opportunities for all; some morons on this forum would start that tribal gimmick/nonsense again if they didn't know that.

With that clarification, i know now that she has 2 nieces whom i know too; which should be a good one for u to comment on too!!!
