@Asante_nation An African will always blame another person for the misfortunes cause by himself...

A very unfortunate remark by Dr Lawrence Tetteh. Especially referring to it as "nonsense." That, in itself, is disrespectful to the Twi-speaking community. (Video in my second slide). I believe the focus should rather be on encouraging his people to be more open and willing to teach the Ga language to those who genuinely show interest in learning it. There is a noticeable mindset among some that teaching the language to outsiders exposes too much, as if it reveals secrets or gives others access to private conversations. This idea that “your language is your power” often creates reluctance in sharing it. Let me share my personal experience, and I know many others can relate to this. When I first moved to Accra, my first place of stay was not a Ga-dominated area, it was a new site with a largely Akan population and a bit of Ewe presence. So our main mode of communication was Twi and English, There was no real opportunity or environment where Ga was being taught or encouraged. Later when I went to the University, in Level 200, I moved off campus to rent a place at Okponglo, a traditional La community where Ga was widely spoken. In the house I lived in, I met a Ga family: a couple with four boys, including twins, Akwetey and Akwete, who were then in PRESEC. They spoke fluent and impressive Ga. Out of genuine interest, I asked them to teach me the language. Unfortunately, neither the parents nor the boys were willing to help. Anytime I brought it up, it turned into a joke. We would laugh about it, and before you realised, the topic had changed. When they spoke Ga and I asked for the meaning, they would jokingly respond, “aden wopɛ saa ayɛ deɛn?”, as if my interest was unnecessary. It will interest you to know that, the little Ga I eventually picked up, words like “ofainɛ, teyɔ tɛɛ, miyedzogban ee, miya sɔmɔ, etome body ee, mahe nii, mi le, miisumo bo” etc, were not even taught to me by Ga natives. It was an Akuapem family who had previously lived in Mamprobi and later moved into our area that helped me learn these basics. The very custodians of the language did not. That experience gradually killed my interest in learning Ga. So when the custodians of a language are unwilling to teach those who are interested, how can a visitor be blamed for not speaking it? Even at the University of Ghana, Ga was hardly spoken. During our time, the dominant modes of communication on campus were English, Pidgin, and Twi. The few who were bold to openly speak their language on campus were the Fantes, even with that it was their ladies, the Fante guys didn't like speaking Fante on campus at all. The same applies at the Ghana Institute of Journalism now UNIMAC, English, Twi, and Pidgin dominate. Interestingly, GIJ was a university that Ga students loved attending, based on their surnames in my class. Another personal observation is that the moment the Accra folks realise you are from Kumasi or any Akan region, they quickly switch. They will even speak Twi to you first, naturally, you respond in Twi as well, and there were a few times that they spoke English to you. When we go to Makola or Madina market to buy foodstuffs, the sellers immediately switch to Twi to attract our attention and make a sale. This was what I experienced during my uni days, I don't know if it has changed. This is the everyday reality of Accra. As a cosmopolitan city, from commerce to transportation, and social interactions, it’s Twi here, Twi there. It has already become dominant. Unfortunately, the custodians of the Ga language are not always the best ambassadors of the language. So how do you blame a visitor for not speaking it? If I open this conversation up, many Akan students who have lived or studied in non-Akan regions will share similar experiences. The common issue is the withholding of language by natives. It raises the question, what exactly is being protected or hidden? See next 👇

@JoyNewsOnTV If non dagombas can rally behind their candidates, what prevents a Dagomba from doing the same. This is just the beginning 😂😂😂

University for Development Studies (UDS) Council names Prof. Mohammed Muniru Idrisu as new Vice-Chancellor despite earlier resistance #JoyNews #Viral #Explorepage #Ghana #JoyFM #GhanaNews #Ghana #NewsUpdate #Africa #GhPolitics #News #AfricaNews #CurrentAffairs #vlog

@PIIIAAWW_NH I want Asante Citizenship card 😁

Then they are people of good character. Any Dagomba man or woman here ?? Let’s connect

@Abiamka_GH VC IS PROF MUNIRU, DIE 😅

@Abdulshito Tribal idiot, I am talking to reasonable people. Go and sit down.

The kind of tribal politics that is going on in the UDS vice Chancellor selection is very dangerous for country. Eiii💔

@PIIIAAWW_NH So who told you Pro Eliot and UDS is true.

Stop the mischief Prof Haruna and the UCC example is totally false Professor Domwini Dabire Kuupole a Northerner took over from Prof.Naana, there were other Fantes who were fit to continue after Prof. Naana left What kind of by-force equalization is this

@AsamoaAnkamah @Giwa_Navigator @AfricaFirsts 😂😂😂

@Giwa_Navigator @AfricaFirsts It’s so because Christians don’t talk. Muslims don’t tolerate such in Ghana.

@AkanAseserm @Nyaba_Abu 😂😂😂

@Nyaba_Abu Not right! Education should be independent of ethnicity No wonder products of Ghana universities are dysfunctional and unemployable. Managers of the universities arent selected based on competence but on ethnicity. In the case of UDS, it based on religion too and its troubling

At Cape Coast University, Professor Haruna was denied the VC-ship and Prof Nana, our veep today, was brought in as a Fantse candidate… because they insisted on one of their own. The current CV of UDS was told by UG to go to his hometown and be a VC.

@PrinceTaju4 @YoungSaeed @GH_scofield We don't care about your feelings. In that same institution, we saw how Dagombas were treated when we left the head offices for others to occupy. They turn it into a tribal inheritance. Now, you are to blame Dagombas for wanting their own.

@YoungSaeed @GH_scofield I’m a Dagbana and this is the gospel truth among other northern tribes. I always tell my tribe mates to be different and don’t think we are so special.

I never knew tribalism exist in our academic institutions especially the universities. UDS want to appoint a new VC and some leaders in the region are opposing the appointment if the person is not a Dagomba. Does this happen in UG, UCC and KNUST.

@GH_scofield We don't own anyone an explanation, and we do not care about anyone's feelings...

@KDagbon We don't care about anyone's feelings...

Dear Collins, If it was your father’s money Rawlings used to build the university, you are more than welcome to seek for a refund. It is tribal bigots like yourself who keep fueling these tensions. Take a second and read what you wrote again, and you’d realize that you are the one who harbors tribal hatred in your heart. Dagbon has a hand in our development, and we will push for what’s right and within the remits of the law. Anytime Dagbon or Dagbamba seek justice or pushes for what’s in the interest of our land and our communities, it’s news all over the country. When in reality, these issues happen all over the country. You people enjoy the fact that we are behind in development since independence, you can continue to cry all you want. Dagbon is back, and we will leave no stone unturned until we have what’s due us. It is only in Dagbon that you’ll come and see that all the people heading public institutions are not Dagbamba. They are welcomed and treated as our own, our hospitality is unmatched in the whole of West Africa, we won’t lessons of tribalism form a nonentity like yourself.

@IneosGh @CheEsquire We do not care about your feelings... we were asleep, now that we have been awakened by others, this is just the beginning...

@CheEsquire The biggest mistake Rawlings made was building a university there! Waste of money for highly tribalistic people.

There’s rumor that Prof Iddrisu was chosen simply because he's a Dagomba. They say Prof Alhassan topped selection/interview process with of 82.2%, ahead of other shortlisted candidates like Prof. Iddrisu (73%) and Prof. Abagale (70%). Is this true or false? VC too tribalism?
