Fight, fight, fight. Don't let up.For a long time,various regimes have been taking the people of Osu for granted.
Lands taken by the government have been sold at cheap prices to government cronies after the government use had exhausted.
The law says if the use of lands by the state is exhausted, those lands should be given back to the indigenes or the stool.

You ignorant Ga thicko, I'll show you where you incest-loving Gas belong.... You're all Igbos from Nigeria. Your ancestors were banished and chased out of 9ja after they refused to stop indulging in cannibalism. You all arrived in Ghana like bloody soldier ants, hence, then Ashantis, the Akuapims and all Akans refer to you refugee Gas as "Nkran". Your cousins who, because of cat meat, pretended not able to carry on to refugee camp (Ghana ) settled in #9 camps.. So you tell me, what land the Gas brought to Ghana.

Going into the issue of allodial ownership of land in Ghana would open up a terrible can of worms.
Already, the La Stool is at loggerheads with the Osu, over lands expropriated by ancient regimes and that brings up the novel notion of why the Akwamu and Akuapem may have a superior interest over vast Ga territories.
The supreme irony is that the Osu Alata forget their own history as slaves who were resettled on the lands they now occupy.
It is really fresh for people descended from that to then assert a claim to an inheritance which is not theirs.
They can trace their roots back to their tribal homelands and try to go bother the current governments there for land. Inutile cretins!!
The forts of the Dutch, English, and Danes at Akra, during those
days of dissension between the Akwamus and Akras, invited the
latter, to flee to the coast for protection from the oppression of the
Akwamus.
Of the Aseres and Aboras, who came down to the coast
to join the people living there before, the following names are still
in the memory of the people: Saku Olenge, Akotia Owosika, 0-
shamra, Ayikai, Siahene, Osu Kwatei, Anyama Seni, Amantiele
Akele &c. Ayikai Siahene with his people settled near James Fort
and founded Akangmadshe and Mereku i.e. Bereku quarter.
Adote Ni Ashare and Tete Kpeshi with their people removed from their
site beyond the lagoon Kole and settled by the fort, whose descen-
dants also composed the Sempe and Brohung quarter.
Dankera having been conquered in the year 1700 by the Asantes,
a quarrel about the succession to the royal stool broke out among
the royal princes of that state. A Dutch officer was consequently
sent there to restore peace.
He brought the following headmen and noble women to Dena (Elmina) to be protected : Afrifa, Korankyi, Amo Panyin, Amo Kuma, Kwaw Nsia, Korama, and Nsiawa, with several others. Some of them returned back to Dankera, when peace was restored.
Korama seems to have been a nearest relation of the royal family; she had a son named Otu, who in consequence of the recent conquest was surnamed "Ahiakwa", one who met with or got nothing i.e. born when their glory had departed.
He, being an intelligent youth, was employed as a servant by the above men-tioned officer who was shortly after appointed commandant of the Dutch Fort Crevecoeur and brought down both Otu and his people already named to Akra.
The Priest of Nai being then the chief on the coast, to whom a monthly stipend was paid by the Dutch Government, the Dankera headmen and women were consigned to his care. After some years' residence, a piece of land was obtained from the priest through the influence of the commandant, on which Otu and his people built houses.
Being free and intelligent trading people, they acquired riches in a short time, and enlarged their quarter very rapidly with the refugees from Dankera, Akwamu, Akem and Akuapem.
Bobiko, a relative of Korama, then at Akem, heard of the prosperity of the Dankeras, and sent her son Amo Nakawa to Akra to ascertain the truth of it. Satisfied with the condition of his relatives, Bobiko and her people were by their advice induced to join them at Akra. But an incident took place while Amo Nakawa was on the coast.
His wife Ahwanjabea of Akwamu went on a visit to her parents at the place, where the king tried in vain to seduce her, and Akonug, being defeated in his object, in revenge applied a burning tobacco pipe to the back of her innocent child Dako. The child was brought down to Akra with the whole family of Amo Nakawa, when the sad case was told him by his wife.
He (hereupon made a solemn vow of revenging himself one day on the king of Akwamu for that cruelty to his wife and child. Hence afterwards Amo Nakawa became the zealous chief among the ambassadors of Akra when negotiating with the kings of Akem, whose relation he was. He prevailed on the Obutus and Agonas to throw off their allegiance to the king of Akwamu while the latter was threatened with war.
All the Europeans established on the coast had their own labourers ;
some were free people, and the rest their own slaves as the pro-
perty of each company, who were designated Alatas, a Fante name
for i»eople of Lagos, Yoruba etc.
Thus we have Kinka or Dutch Alata, English Alata, and Osu or Danish Alata. These Alatas in each town formed their own quarter in connection with the towns' people, and were acknowledged as citizens of the place by joining the established band in the towns. The elders among them had the right as citizens to become grandees or counsellors of the king or chief in a town.
Thus the headman of the English Alatas was one Osho or Odshoe (not Kodsho), surnamed Wets he, i.e. housefather, who being a very intelligent and powerful man by his connection with the English, grew very rich, had numerous slaves himself, besides the Alatas, and having been in the country since the English established themselves here in 1672, became the king of James Town.
He had been instructed in the Tshi style of managing a state, and had a stool also made and consecrated to him by Chief Oto Brafo of Kinka (Dutch Akra). There appears no one to have been appointed then as the successor of chief Anege ; even if there was one, he was more the priest of Oyeni, than a king. Odshg's successor Kofi Akrashi, a native of Dutch Akra, easily raised the power and fame of that family very gloriously.
It was the same with a Fante chief, named Kwabena Bonne, who was brought to Osu (Christiansborg) with a large family by the Danes. He, although a free government agent, had to build his house close to the Castle in the Alata quarter. Chief Ahene of Dena (Elmina) also emigrated with a large family to Akra, and made his permanent stay with the Dutch Alatas in the Dutch Town.
The people of Osudua or Christiansborg also emigrated in company with the different Adangme tribes from Same in the East, and having crossed the Volta, they settled M'ith the main body on the Osudoku hill.
Before their emigration to this place there was a single family of one Tete Manydi and his brother Tete Bo and his sister Dede Mosa from Dutch Akra settled here, before the Portuguese arrived.
The family fetishes of Tete Manyoi are Leniogbe, i.e. a fetish of the Les, and Nyankumle, which claims pre-eminence of Osu. The former is a piece of a round white stone, now lying neglected at the west corner of the Basel Mission Chapel.
An incident is said to have taken place at Osudoku, after the
time when the Danes had come to this coast, which caused a
certain family to emigrate to Osuyokpo near Shai, thence to Osu-
ko near Kwabenyang, who were seeking the protection either of
the Akras or the Danes.
Tradition differs as to the real cause of that fiimily's emigration.
Some people say, that the Les or Agotims, who were driven from
Poni and Lahe, did not cross the Volta at once, but settled near
the bank of the river.
Being a warlike tribe, they kept up fighting with the Osudokus, that one chief, named Noete, came with the view of asking the aid of king Oka! Koi to fight his enemy.
The king sent an ambassador, Tete Boako Aforo by name, who escorted the chief to the Danes. Noete, having obtained protection, sent for his brother Naku Tete and their people, and founded the seven huts known as Butaiateng in Christiansborg.
Eeeeeeeeeh Ghana.
