We will subscribe when u find more fascinating and interesting topics, Mr. Swain. Sorry to say, this was very beneath you! I'm still what your intent was. What exactly do u think u were going to bring to a Ghanaian's attention! U are just settling in, so please, please, dont start anything that will make u lose respect! Remember this land and it's people with all these various languages and dialects have been around before obroni even showed up on our shores, and we've been coexisting fine, with no civil wars or tribal foolishness...and I assume that's also the charm that u fell in love with. So exactly shots your point right now! I know u guys that grew up in monolithic countries, (english speaking), have always been fascinated by how we've been able to survive so harmoniously, well..bro, just sit back, watch and learn. Ghana is far from perfect, but I know that in my 60yrs of existence, tribal differences have never ever ever been an issue or topic of discussion for us...no effect on whatever we are missing. POLITICAL RULE HAS NEVER BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR US. I GREW UP ON MILITARY RULE MY WHOLE LIFE IN GHANA, THATS ALL I KNEW, I DONT EVER REMEMBER CIVILIAN/PARLIAMENTARY RULE, SAD TO SDMIT, BUT TRUE! I GREW UP WITH COUP BY RAWLINGS, AND FOR 20YRS WE JUST ALLOWED HIM TO FOOL AROUND AND DESTROY OUR BESUTIFUL DISMANTLE EVERY SINGLE THING THAT GAVE US ANY DIGNITY, AND WE DIDNT LIFT A FINGER TO HELP OURSELVES BECOS THATS US, WE NEVER FIGHT BACK, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE OTHER HAS A GUN! IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL THIS TRIBALISM TALK WAS WHEN WE WERE ALL SUFFERING TOGETHER SND STARVING, WHEN THAT GUY TOOK THE EHOLE NSTION FROM US AND WE JUST WERE OUR TYPICAL SELVES, WATCHING HIM FLUSH OUR JOBS, DIGNITY, EVERYTHING INTO THE TOILET! ANYTHING TALKING ABOUT TRIBALISM TODAY, IS JUST TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ANY BETTER! IVE NEVER KNOWN TRIBALISM AS AN ISSUE THAT EVER EXISTED OR AFFECTED OUR GOVERNANCE OF THE COUNTRY. SO NOW, WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE DISCUSSING! GOOD GOD! Tim, welcome to Ghana, we are loving u bro, but come on! Akwaaba!
You are not at the receiving end so in your mind, you are doing well. Go and ask the victims if they see it exactly as you see it. The abuser has no right to speak for the abused.
We all understand that tribalism exist in Ghanaian and African societies in general but let's NOT give it Oxygen in these times Ghana has done exceptionally well with Tribal Relations thanks to Kwame Nkrumah's initiative, we have avoided civil war, and major conflicts
No one is exaggerating anything. Tribalism does exist in Ghana and it's a problem. If you are not part of the ones at the receiving end , you have no moral right to say it is exaggerated. Let those facing the problem speak for themselves. They are the ones in the best position to tell the world if it's a problem or not. Grow up.
@@benbo7042 Please tell us about who the victims are? And while at it, add how tribalism is affecting you personally in Ghana. That would go a long way to educate those you claim have "no moral right" to speak on the subject.
@@py20 By the way, I am a Fante so it doesn't affect me. The victims are the Voltarians and the Northeners. I do believe that if you don't speak up for your neighbor today, when the table turns tomorrow, there will be no one to speak up for you. Silence means approval. Not because it doesn't affect me, I should be silent when I see dehumanizing words and stuff being used against our fellow Ghanaians from these two regions.
@@benbo7042 I'll join your fight for justice any day! Please tell me: how are our brothers from these regions being "dehumanized" and by whom? Nearly all my close friends are from these regions and not one has mentioned this to me, and we've done life together for decades. So educate me; I really want to learn. Thanks.
Tribalism is not that bad in ghana. We marry among ourselves. Dont matter what tribe or religion. this is why ghana is one of the most peaceful countries in africa
This one of the much hurdles we have across the African continent that we to tackle and dismantle and by starting with the politicians who are the main problem.
These are things we don't talk about in Ghana bcos at the end of the day Ghana is all we have and we are all human beings. Please stop trying to create problems where there is none. At the end of the day, Ghana is very peaceful and everyone gets to go about their business in peace. So please stop trying to make an issue out of something that is not an issue. We have come a long way as a country and this is not the time in our history to be creating such issues. We are human beings first and Ghanaians second. Period.
@@alkebulanMD Do you really think it is not a problem? You can say so if you are the perpetrator. To the victims, they see it as a problem. It is psychological,mental, and emotional abuse and any form of abuse is a problem. Case in point, Rwanda.
Politics is not organized along any tribal lines in Ghana. It is true folks at some point prefer their kinsmen but trust me we are very much integrated when it comes to inter marriage relationships and migration. It’s not as bad as he makes it sounds. As we expected, there’s affinity for ones kin than the other but this does not define us as a people.
Where were you during the past election campaign when people on some TV and radio stations said Voltarians are not Ghanaians? Go and listen to what the Ashanti regional minister said about the Northerners.
@@benbo7042 that does not mean politics are organized along tribal lines. U cannot completely eliminate tribal sentiments but it’s very lightweight in Ghana compared to elsewhere. Even in America certain races prefer certain parties. In Ghana all parties represented everywhere and we live side by side in peace
@@anthonysossah585 Try and listen to most of the comments made or discussions relating to this issue. You will understand thing in details. These come mostly from politicians. Mostly old men.
Mr Tim Swain, your guest is correct. Tribalism and Religion (not the Indigenous Religion) is the reason for the backwardness of all African countries. As it looks there is no solution in sight unfortunately.
Ghana is more divided politically, than it is tribally. Yes tribalism and nepotism exist, indeed everywhere, especially in African but i do not think it's as huge of a problem in Ghana, we've lived peacefully all these years and have avoided civil wars, even when at one point in history every country that surrounded Ghana was at wars provoked by tribalism and politics. Let's not make it a huge deal here, that's not who we are as Ghanaians. Tribalism exist unfortunately but I believe we deal quite well with it as a nation.
Tim you got it all wrong. There is no tribalism in Ghana. Kwame Nkrumah lumped us all together as one people. It does not matter where you come from in Ghana, you can be elected president. Tim you don't want to go there. There is no known tribalism inGhna.
For Mr. Swain to think about, seek out a Ghanaian, record the session, posit this title and post the video reveals his observations/experiences in Ghana or his motives. The pastor is no stranger to Mr. Swain. He knew what he was gonna get from him. As most (I assume Ghanaians) have suggested to you in the comments, you could have done a little more research before engaging or maybe you did. So was Mr. Swain's intention to educate or to seek an explanation to the issues in Ghana as was quickly stated in his opening statement? Only Mr. Swain knows.... I've been traveling to Ghana for sometime and I've always been curious about how the different tribes and religions have managed to get along. That's a personal observation. Does Mr. Swain see it differently?
Every Ghanaian who knows about the subject matter has the right to point out what he or she knows. There is no one called ' expert ' on this issue. Grow up.
This is to all the PROFESSIONAL LIARS who lied between their teeth that there is no tribalism in Ghana. The recent incidence between the Dormahene and the Asantehene which led to the Asantehene bussing hundreds of loosers to a funeral in Berekum and what the Ashantis have been saying on the radio / TV stations and on social media against the Dormahene and the Bono people have exposed these liars who vehemently deny that there is no tribalism in Ghana. You can never hide the truth. It will always come out.
Tribalism exists, no doubt, but too often people exaggerate its impact in Ghana. I think the one problem we do have, which is far worse than tribalism, is partisanship -- the NDC-NPP foolishness.
@@mrw1762 I don't deny it; especially how reckless politicians, on both sides, stoke and exploit it for their selfish gain. Yet, Ghanaians have voted for both parties at different times, despite our ethnic diversity. If tribalism was so dominant and determinative, Ghana would probably be a one party state and it isn't! I think we are more together than some people suggest.
Tim, I think you need to find a real issue to talk about. You are making a big issue about tribalism in Ghana. Don’t make it sound so bad. I live in Ghana, and this is being blown out of proportion
@@benbo7042 in every society there are differences, likewise, in every family there I are differences. This is human nature. It is there in Ghana, but I don’t believe cuts such a big problem that Tim makes it out to be. Our two main political parties has ALWAYS.been a mixture of different tribes . Compare that to say Ethiopia or Ivory Coast. This is why we haven’t had a Civil war in Ghana. DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES WE GET ALONG.
@@joemensah9557 You get along? This is the problem. Do you know how the victims feel? Not because they are silent you should interpret it as you get along. Do you know what could happen when one day someone ignites this tension? Look at what happened in Rwanda. Before then, everyone thought they got along. Kennedy goes out and says the Ewes in Kumasi shou lol d be k,*lled and you think it is only a difference in society? In the US it is called ' Hate Crime' and you will certainly face the court. Why is it that you who are the perpetrators think you get along,?
@@joemensah9557 Joe, please dont respond to any fool anymore. People like this dont understand the depth of what they are inviting. Every Ghanaian today at least, was alive to see what happened to Liberia...and how the few that ended up alive, or barely, were displaced to strange country like Ghana where they didnt know a single soul, couldnt speak the languages, and had to start their lives all over again...and look at the lives they ended up with in SHANTY ghetto town in Ghana, that, after 30yrs, has become an unlivable crime den right there in the capital city, Accra, and now they are being forced out again, to go where? Some of them have had children with Ghanaians, settled in there and have made peace that this is their home now, and they are fearing eviction now, and being kicked out again!! So, these young people in Ghana who think talking about dangerous foolishness like this is a joke, hm..they should continue! Sierra Leoneans took cutlasses to their own fellow humans and crawling babies, looked at them in the eyes and chopped off their limbs like they were dressing chickens for soup! So young Ghanaians with no aim or nothing better to do with time, please go ahead with mpaninsem, onukpaianii, like u have lived as long as some of us, and think u know something! This so pathetic to even waste energy commenting on! Ignorance and lack of knowledge, my people perish! Hm.
Mr.Swain, Maybe, this would explain why so many Ghanaians feel upset about your guest's views and feel his rantings does not reflect the reality in Ghana. This is a summary of the results of the latest afrobarometer report (survey/poll). Replace "ethnic" with "tribe" and you would begin to get a much better understanding. Ghanaians are unfortunately highly intolerant of same-sex couples but very tolerant of all the other factors. For nine out of 10 Ghanaians (91%), their national identity is at least as strong as their ethnic identity; very few say they feel “more ethnic” (6%) or “only ethnic” (3%). ▪ About three-quarters (73%) of citizens believe there is more that unites Ghanaians as a single people than divides them. ▪ About one in four Ghanaians (25%) say the government treats members of their ethnic group unfairly, a significant improvement compared to 2008 (49%). ▪ About one in five say other Ghanaians treated them unfairly based on their ethnicity (20%) or their religion (18%) during the year preceding the survey. Almost twice as many (35%) say they suffered discrimination based on their economic status. ▪ Overwhelming majorities of Ghanaians express tolerant attitudes toward people of different ethnicities (92%), different religions (91%), different political affiliations (90%), and different nationalities (74%). But fewer than one in 10 (7%) are tolerant toward people in same-sex relationships
I don't agree with this guy, tribalism is not our problem, our biggest problem is politics, families even fall out based on political party lines Tribalism I will say is not a big issue as most of us are mixed with other tribes.
@@sewahakoto5825 Talking about intelligence, hmmm, your name alone tells me more. No wonder. A guy by the name of pastor Kobi, in Ghana said a lot about you few years ago.
@@sewahakoto5825 I want to believe whatever your regional minister said about the Northerners is not considered an insult by you. Talk about hypocrisy at its highest. Go and read a book.
Tim.. you’ve been dropping nuggets and good content .. but ma brotha... you done lost me on this one ...this is really a disservice to the countries that are really having tribal issues. Educate us .. don’t make it seem tribalism is an issue in Ghana... seriously.
@@benbo7042 Look at what is happening in Ethiopia and Tigray . Please let’s not over exaggerate just for click bait . Within your own family you don’t even like everyone... yet it doesn’t mean you’re at war . We are doing a disservice . This’s one of our problems in Africa .. our obsession with the Unification of the African Continent yet we are crying wolf on tribalism. Economic literacy will help move the continent or our communities in the right direction. Look at the mighty rich countries... you think they are united ? No but when it comes to money and financial benefits, that’s where heads come together to have a bite of the bread . Just saying .
@@LEK17 Listen, people like you who don't speak for those oppressed are the problem. Why didn't you speak up when section of Voltarians were not allowed to vote? Up till now they have no MPs representing them in parliament. What do you call that?
Sometimes, your guests in Ghana seem to want to tell you what they think you want to hear. There was a young lady a while back who claimed that Ghanaian school kids are taught the benefits of slavery as part of their curricula during her childhood years. I see something similar with this gentleman. I don’t know if they do it to ingratiate themselves or what. Tribalism exists in Ghana but it is certainly not as major a problem as is being made out here. Nobody cares whether a Ga is made an IGP or not. If an Akan is fired for incompetence, other Akans don’t care. An Akan president nominated and confirmed the country’s first Muslim and Northerner Supreme Court Justice
There are so many more positive examples of major decisions not made on the basis of tribes. I’d urge these young people to educate themselves very well about issues before purporting to be connoisseurs of tribalism in Ghana
Maybe things have changed a little bit, but back in the 80s, 90s and latter part of the year 2000 you couldn't get a job or admissions to certain schools.
@@fmlartey4747 hmm, aooo,, Ghanaians and our gullibility! We will let anyone influence us, and we start dancing! How can u sit and do this ignorant dance, and call it an interview. Why would u allow someone who knows absolutely nothing about our precious coexistence of what makes ghana so special, and get u to loudly verbalize what u are thinking privately! I was born and raised in Ghana many years ago, my mum is from western and ashanti and my dad is GA..lol at such difference but so ecclectically beautiful. How many African countries can say this with pride,,,and yet, out of nowhere, these recent years, we started talking about each other like we just woke up yesterday and discovered that we speak different languages! Ah! How is this necessary? How is this benefitting or building a country? We are really treading into such dangerous waters, that God forbid, we may never recover from, if this generation doesnt stop this foolishness right now! What tribalism?! I went to school with a lot of Hausa kids, (northerners) who didnt even know that we were supposed to ne different! They went to Sunday services with us in boarding schools, they ate the same food at dining hall, we spoke each others language, dated each other etc. Then recently, look at the disgraceful way we are behaving! Tribalism tribalism! For what! I thing it's just because people have too much time on their hands, doing nothing! They should hurry up and create jobs for the idle hands, before Ghana youth get sunk into holes that we can never get out off with this foolish talk! If u have something good going for u, u wouldn't want to destroy it by talking about things that u know, will definitely explode your world and take away the good life that u are building for yourself! The other African countries that were encouraged and influenced to kill each other and slaughter each other like aimless animals in the jungle, being provided with weapons to just obliterate each other and destroy their places to sleep, did anyone see any of that youth with guns as people who are successful with work, education, or building any good life for themselves?! Beause, why would any sensible person who has something good going on in their lives, get up and destroy it themselves! Chwiaaa! Our mentality paaa, mobo mobo! Ghanaians should continue feeding on their ignorance, and continue talking about tribalism like it's a toy to play with! Hm!
@@agoogo5026 Really? Which schools couldn't you get admission into based on your tribe? I was in Ghana in the 80s and 90s and spent 7 years in boarding school with Voltarians, Northerners, Gas, Guans, literally every single tribe in Ghana. And this was in the Ashanti region. This is the first time in my entire life I've heard anyone say you couldn't get admission to certain schools based on the tribe you're from. Can you name those schools? Indeed, most people attribute the general tolerance of the various tribes/groups in Ghana to the boarding school system (established before independence) where kids spent up to 7 years living, eating, bathing, making friends with members of all tribes and religious backgrounds. As far as jobs are concerned, there is nepotism - whom you know, which friends you have in high places, which political party you're affiliated with, who your relatives are etc. Those are all much stronger factors than which tribe you belong to, even in the 90s and certainly the 2000s. I wish you could be more specific in your assertions.
Tim, kindly get someone who can think deeply to talk about the issues or the problems facing Ghana. This gentleman may not be playing with a full deck.
Mr Swain, we are a tribal country, we have lived side by side with no major problems, Ghana has not had any Civil tribal wars. Partisan Politics is our problem, incompetence and corruption are the main issues hindering us. Our educational institutions are not exclusive to one tribe. Please, be careful, don't come and create a problem where there is none. Tribes will be here forever. Don't tread where you have not walked, this sort of talk caused wars in Nigeria,(Biafran), Rwanda, and many more. Stay away from contents like this, especially since you are just settling in, you may slip and say something to offend, even if it's your guest, you would be blamed. Stay away from this topic.
Very smart advice for Tim. Hes been doing ok so far, but I think he's venturing into dangerous waters. The thing is, people from monolithic countries, really have always had a fascination or maybe a fixation on how a country can operate singularly with so many different tribes constituting the country., ,also, because they've always heard of tribal wars in certain parts of Africa unfortunately, they just, out of curiosity, want to see or hear how these various tribes think of their neighbours. I was born and raised in Ghana, 60yrs ago, never heard of this much tribalism until these last few years, and I believe strongly that, its fueled and influenced by outside influence, the way they slowly did to eastern part of Africa, and certain parts of Africa, slowly, until the paid and influenced them to kill each other, and destroy their countries,then they swoop in like innocents to pretend to help with restoration of the country, and then tope them into debts, negotiations, agreements, etc. That's the poor citizens dont even know anything about, but all they know is that, the citizens continue to live in poverty and nothing changes. I justin Swain will stop this now! Kwame Nkrumah, worked to hard to make sure that, we would never get dragged into this foolish destructiveness called TRIBALISM! WE are the only country on the continent, that, are comfortable enough with each other, that we intermarry each tribe without any problems. My mum is from Sefwi, and my dad is GA, look at such a difference, but they had six children, run their successful businesses, produced very productive children, and both lived into their 90s until they left us. People even didnt know that my mum wasnt Ga, because she spoke the language so intricately, and impeccably, and even buried in Accra! I hate how Ghanaians have started this foolishness and playing slowly into the hands of foreigners who has nothing to lose if something stupid happens. Look what has happened to Nigeria, because of this damaging ideology! I went to college in Lagos, I never thought today, this sadness will ever happen to Nigeria, we looked up to them, that was our Abrokyire, today, look what they've done to their own country, while obroni is still benefitting from their destruction(oil)!!! We will never recover if we ever ever venture fhis fantasy that Ghanaians having started flirty with. We dont have it in us to recover. We should just be quiet and be the harmless mice that we are! It takes a certain kind of guts and people to hate each other enough to kill and slaughter each other, for ABSOLUTELY NO TANGIBLE REASON, EXCEPT BECAUDE SOMEONE WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM IT, WANTS TO DARE U TO DO IT!! I PRSY SND. BEG GOD EVERYDAY TO DTOP GHANAIANS FROM ENGAGING IN THIS FANTASY! WE ARE SO GULLIBLE, THAT, WE ARE SO EASILY INFLUENCED, SO EVERYONE SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOYT THIS TRUBSLISM BUSINESS, WE HSVE NEVER BEDN PART OF THAT RELIGION! UES, I CALL IT A RELIGION, IR A CULT!!please forgive all my typos. Too worked up!
Partisan and tribalism walk hand in hand without tribalism there won’t be partisanship however tribalism is the downfall and impediment of our development
Tim, the way your guest spoke,one will assume that Ghanaians are at war with each other. By all means we are not perfect but the wilde assertions of tribalism made by your guest are false. Do a little bit research about elected presidents and their tribes. If political parties are organised on tribal lines surely the Akans would have won all elections in Ghana. Please you wish to talk about such weighty issues do us a favour and get people with intellectual depth to talk to.
It's actually illegal to organize political parties along tribal lines and this is enshrined in Ghana's constitution. I dismissed the guest as being intellectually poor and not at all knowledgeable.
I went through the boarding school system in Ghana and I can say for a fact that I didn't know of tribalism in Ghana until I left school. I think it's mostly passed down from the older generation and unfortunately, it's entered our politics. The current party in power, the NPP is a very tribalistic party. They are divisive! The opposition party, the NDC has had an Akan, Ewe and Northerner as president. Their National Chairman is Akyem, Gen Secretary is Bono, Communications Officer is Bono. The NPP on the other hand has only had Akan presidents. The only Northerner they had as chairman was chased out of the party headquarters, locked out and banned from the party. Check the tribes of most appointees of this government. Chief Justice is Akan, Chief of Staff is Akan, IGP is Akan, Chief of Army Staff is Akan, Attorney General is Akan. Luckily, the speaker of parliament isn't an appointee of the president. I can assure you that he would have been Akan.
Your topic is sensitively dangerous for our well being, there is no tribalism in Ghana. You cannot speak any Ghanaian language to understand the behavior of the tribes.
@@adminbentley5752 We all heard what the Ashanti regional minister said about the Northerners plus what Kennedy Agyaepong said about what should be done to the Ewes living in Kumasi during the past election campaign. Did you come out to rebuke them publicly? No you didn't . It means you were ok with what they said.
your claims of tribalism is completely false.stop with the bs claims.no minister is bigger than any minister in Ghana no matter what their tribe.no mp is bigger than any mp no matter their tribe.what city councils do to/not develop their cities can't be blamed on any tribe
@@benbo7042 you people are just pathetic.that so called minister have zero power over anyone from the north.whatever he said about northerners.insults don't equate to "tribalism"
This Pastor is completely lost on tribalism in Ghana. Sometimes it baffles me how those who are educated enough to use their education to bring the nation together are the very ones who inflame tribal passions. His assertion about appointment of IGP is not completely untrue. He should give us facts no assumption. There are so many times that I have heard even soccer fanatics accusing football authorities of discrimination against people from the North, but the fact is, through out our history people of Northern descents dominate Ghana soccer than any other ethnic group. He needs to do a bit more research about tribalism before he mislead people. I am not saying there is no tribalism in the country but some of his narratives is not true.
Do really think there is no tribalism in Ghana? Go and listen what the Ashanti regional minister said about the Northerners and what Kennedy Agyaepong said should be done to the Ewes in Kumasi during the past election campaign.
@@benbo7042 , so what Ashanti regional minister said is tribalism but what John Mahama said is not?, regarding Ken Agyapong, you forgot what one greater Accra MP did to prevent Akans to register and vote during that election?, and by the way, why do you guys always assume every Akan is an Ashanti?. If we are to go deeper in tribal sentiments by political parties, nobody come close to NDC, so stop your propaganda and victimization because you are not dealing with an NDC gullible follower. It looks like you are so blind with tribalism that, you didn’t even finish reading my comment, where in my comment did I say there is no tribalism in Ghana?, people like you thrive on tribal sentiments for your selfish interest, and to you all every tribal insinuations points to Ashantis, right?.
No this so call pastor is lying, why this young Ghanaians don’t know anything and they try to say thing which is not true to disgrace the entire country, Tim, tell that man that what he’s saying is not True, in Ghana we don’t have any Tribalism as he’s saying those Ghanaians who don’t know anything about Ghana you people should stop interviewing them period
Gina BKK, Firstly I would suggest that you're not African so I excuse your ignorance. In every African country people are identified by their tribes and they lived this way for a long time with intermittent wars with neighboring tribes over land. There was nothing like Ghana or Nigeria or Benin in the context of a country until the Berlin Conference.
@@Sunshine00816 Tribalism and Religion is the reason for the poor development of African countries. Yes, Tribalism is alive and doing very well in every African country
Look it seems that guy doesn't know what he is talking about, for your info Jimmie, these tribal thing is something Ghanaians dont wont to hear, itva setting political party and politiciens who are trying and have make it their agenda, it a way for them to win power, and it a deliberate attempt, but when u get dowm to the real Ghanaians n the deep ground, they dont wont to hear such word at all, that your guest seems lack common sense,please dont give us this conversation again.
There is no such thing as "Tribalism". And even if there was, that's not a Ghanaian problem. Do not create content on things just to get views. Gang bangers kill each other because the other person is wearing blue and they are team red. People classify themselves as from the midwest, or east coast or south or west coast and use that to divide. Before the pseudo nation of the United States of America, there were "tribes" in America, and they didn't all get along. It's normal. Differences exist and humans will always group together into smaller more relatable clusters. However those clusters can work together to do something great and that is what Nkrumah was able to achieve. No need to go to Africa and make videos on the same white people talking points of "tribalism"
Prior to the past presidental election , how many people didn't hear it on some TV and radio stations that Voltarians are not Ghanaians? Why did you you guys who are denying that tribalism doesn't exist in Ghana come out to rebuke those statements? You hypocrites.

Are you talking from the point of view of the victims or the perpetrators?

Tribalism is not that bad in ghana. We marry among ourselves. Dont matter what tribe or religion. this is why ghana is one of the most peaceful countries in africa
You are liar. Tribalism is a major problem in Ghana yet you pretend it doesn't exist.
This one of the much hurdles we have across the African continent that we to tackle and dismantle and by starting with the politicians who are the main problem.
This exactly what I do say. The saddest thing is if the politicians say those things, no one comes out to publicly rebuke them.
It is a Ghanaian thing not the whole of Africa. You don't hear this in the Gambia or South Africa.
These are things we don't talk about in Ghana bcos at the end of the day Ghana is all we have and we are all human beings.
Please stop trying to create problems where there is none.
At the end of the day, Ghana is very peaceful and everyone gets to go about their business in peace. So please stop trying to make an issue out of something that is not an issue.
We have come a long way as a country and this is not the time in our history to be creating such issues.
We are human beings first and Ghanaians second. Period.
No problems no future
If you think talking about a problem means bringing problem, you need to grow up.
@@alkebulanMD Do you really think it is not a problem? You can say so if you are the perpetrator. To the victims, they see it as a problem. It is psychological,mental, and emotional abuse and any form of abuse is a problem. Case in point, Rwanda.
I have some friends from both the Volta and Northern regions and they see it as a problem so please, don't say it is not a problem.
Thank u great 👍 comment
Does Ghanaian tribes need TV fridge guard (voltage protector)?
FM Lartey, you really have spoken like a true Ghanaian with profound analysis. Good work.
Tribalism exists in Ghana, but it wasn't as bad until Rawlings came on the political scene
Pathetic lies. Every tribe was well represented in the PNDC. He was an ewe married to Ashanti. Most of his key men were Fantes.
It existed before Rawlings came to power. Learn to call a spade a spade.
@@anthonysossah585 Don't mind him.
Politics is not organized along any tribal lines in Ghana. It is true folks at some point prefer their kinsmen but trust me we are very much integrated when it comes to inter marriage relationships and migration. It’s not as bad as he makes it sounds. As we expected, there’s affinity for ones kin than the other but this does not define us as a people.
Where were you during the past election campaign when people on some TV and radio stations said Voltarians are not Ghanaians? Go and listen to what the Ashanti regional minister said about the Northerners.
Well, for one particular political party, it manifests itself.
@@benbo7042 that does not mean politics are organized along tribal lines. U cannot completely eliminate tribal sentiments but it’s very lightweight in Ghana compared to elsewhere. Even in America certain races prefer certain parties. In Ghana all parties represented everywhere and we live side by side in peace
@@anthonysossah585 Try and listen to most of the comments made or discussions relating to this issue. You will understand thing in details. These come mostly from politicians. Mostly old men.
Go and listen to the voice which is alleged to be that of Osafo Marfo . You will now understand that politics in Ghana is mostly on tribal lines.
Mr Tim Swain, your guest is correct. Tribalism and Religion (not the Indigenous Religion) is the reason for the backwardness of all African countries. As it looks there is no solution in sight unfortunately.
In my country Cameroon, TRIBALISM is so so bad 😥
Ghana is more divided politically, than it is tribally. Yes tribalism and nepotism exist, indeed everywhere, especially in African but i do not think it's as huge of a problem in Ghana, we've lived peacefully all these years and have avoided civil wars, even when at one point in history every country that surrounded Ghana was at wars provoked by tribalism and politics. Let's not make it a huge deal here, that's not who we are as Ghanaians. Tribalism exist unfortunately but I believe we deal quite well with it as a nation.
Tim you got it all wrong. There is no tribalism in Ghana. Kwame Nkrumah lumped us all together as one people. It does not matter where you come from in Ghana, you can be elected president. Tim you don't want to go there. There is no known tribalism inGhna.
Which side of the bed did you wake up from. Tribalism is a problem in Ghana. We just don't talk about it.
@@elvishhudson2402 Very true.
For Mr. Swain to think about, seek out a Ghanaian, record the session, posit this title and post the video reveals his observations/experiences in Ghana or his motives. The pastor is no stranger to Mr. Swain. He knew what he was gonna get from him. As most (I assume Ghanaians) have suggested to you in the comments, you could have done a little more research before engaging or maybe you did. So was Mr. Swain's intention to educate or to seek an explanation to the issues in Ghana as was quickly stated in his opening statement? Only Mr. Swain knows....
I've been traveling to Ghana for sometime and I've always been curious about how the different tribes and religions have managed to get along. That's a personal observation. Does Mr. Swain see it differently?
Only he knows what his purpose was...making trouble where there's none. SMH
Every Ghanaian who knows about the subject matter has the right to point out what he or she knows. There is no one called ' expert ' on this issue. Grow up.
Tim my brother we need more of this, you didn't finishoooo
So on point.
He should come again, I don’t think he even understand what he was saying .
Hi Tim, try and let someone interpret the link that I have posted. You will understand how deep tribalism is in Ghana.
This is to all the PROFESSIONAL LIARS who lied between their teeth that there is no tribalism in Ghana. The recent incidence between the Dormahene and the Asantehene which led to the Asantehene bussing hundreds of loosers to a funeral in Berekum and what the Ashantis have been saying on the radio / TV stations and on social media against the Dormahene and the Bono people have exposed these liars who vehemently deny that there is no tribalism in Ghana. You can never hide the truth. It will always come out.
Tribalism exists, no doubt, but too often people exaggerate its impact in Ghana. I think the one problem we do have, which is far worse than tribalism, is partisanship -- the NDC-NPP foolishness.
Underpinning that partisanship is tribalism, real or imagined....open your eyes.
@@mrw1762 I don't deny it; especially how reckless politicians, on both sides, stoke and exploit it for their selfish gain. Yet, Ghanaians have voted for both parties at different times, despite our ethnic diversity. If tribalism was so dominant and determinative, Ghana would probably be a one party state and it isn't! I think we are more together than some people suggest.
This interviewer is really showing where he has come from...🙈🌴
Tim, I think you need to find a real issue to talk about. You are making a big issue about tribalism in Ghana. Don’t make it sound so bad. I live in Ghana, and this is being blown out of proportion
Good talk Jow Mensah! I'm so ashamed of Mr. Tim Swain for this interview,,I think he has run out of topics!
It is an issue that needs to be discussed otherwise people like you will keep denying it.
@@benbo7042 in every society there are differences, likewise, in every family there I are differences. This is human nature. It is there in Ghana, but I don’t believe cuts such a big problem that Tim makes it out to be. Our two main political parties has ALWAYS.been a mixture of different tribes . Compare that to say Ethiopia or Ivory Coast. This is why we haven’t had a Civil war in Ghana. DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES WE GET ALONG.
@@joemensah9557 You get along? This is the problem. Do you know how the victims feel? Not because they are silent you should interpret it as you get along. Do you know what could happen when one day someone ignites this tension? Look at what happened in Rwanda. Before then, everyone thought they got along. Kennedy goes out and says the Ewes in Kumasi shou lol d be k,*lled and you think it is only a difference in society? In the US it is called ' Hate Crime' and you will certainly face the court. Why is it that you who are the perpetrators think you get along,?
@@joemensah9557 Joe, please dont respond to any fool anymore. People like this dont understand the depth of what they are inviting. Every Ghanaian today at least, was alive to see what happened to Liberia...and how the few that ended up alive, or barely, were displaced to strange country like Ghana where they didnt know a single soul, couldnt speak the languages, and had to start their lives all over again...and look at the lives they ended up with in SHANTY ghetto town in Ghana, that, after 30yrs, has become an unlivable crime den right there in the capital city, Accra, and now they are being forced out again, to go where? Some of them have had children with Ghanaians, settled in there and have made peace that this is their home now, and they are fearing eviction now, and being kicked out again!! So, these young people in Ghana who think talking about dangerous foolishness like this is a joke, hm..they should continue! Sierra Leoneans took cutlasses to their own fellow humans and crawling babies, looked at them in the eyes and chopped off their limbs like they were dressing chickens for soup! So young Ghanaians with no aim or nothing better to do with time, please go ahead with mpaninsem, onukpaianii, like u have lived as long as some of us, and think u know something! This so pathetic to even waste energy commenting on! Ignorance and lack of knowledge, my people perish! Hm.
YOU GET SO TIRED OF THIS NEVER-ENDING ROADBLOCK!!
As long as you don't speak against it, it won't go away.
Mr.Swain,
Maybe, this would explain why so many Ghanaians feel upset about your guest's views and feel his rantings does not reflect the reality in Ghana. This is a summary of the results of the latest afrobarometer report (survey/poll). Replace "ethnic" with "tribe" and you would begin to get a much better understanding. Ghanaians are unfortunately highly intolerant of same-sex couples but very tolerant of all the other factors.
For nine out of 10 Ghanaians (91%), their national identity is at least as strong as their
ethnic identity; very few say they feel “more ethnic” (6%) or “only ethnic” (3%).
▪ About three-quarters (73%) of citizens believe there is more that unites Ghanaians as a
single people than divides them.
▪ About one in four Ghanaians (25%) say the government treats members of their ethnic
group unfairly, a significant improvement compared to 2008 (49%).
▪ About one in five say other Ghanaians treated them unfairly based on their ethnicity
(20%) or their religion (18%) during the year preceding the survey. Almost twice as
many (35%) say they suffered discrimination based on their economic status.
▪ Overwhelming majorities of Ghanaians express tolerant attitudes toward people of
different ethnicities (92%), different religions (91%), different political affiliations (90%),
and different nationalities (74%). But fewer than one in 10 (7%) are tolerant toward
people in same-sex relationships
I don't agree with this guy, tribalism is not our problem, our biggest problem is politics, families even fall out based on political party lines
Tribalism I will say is not a big issue as most of us are mixed with other tribes.

Please stop blaming politicians, even at the employment and educational levels people turn to hire and admit people from their own tribes.
Very true.
There is truth in what he is saying.....
Sometimes, your guests in Ghana seem to want to tell you what they think you want to hear. There was a young lady a while back who claimed that Ghanaian school kids are taught the benefits of slavery as part of their curricula during her childhood years. I see something similar with this gentleman. I don’t know if they do it to ingratiate themselves or what. Tribalism exists in Ghana but it is certainly not as major a problem as is being made out here. Nobody cares whether a Ga is made an IGP or not. If an Akan is fired for incompetence, other Akans don’t care. An Akan president nominated and confirmed the country’s first Muslim and Northerner Supreme Court Justice
There are so many more positive examples of major decisions not made on the basis of tribes. I’d urge these young people to educate themselves very well about issues before purporting to be connoisseurs of tribalism in Ghana
Maybe things have changed a little bit, but back in the 80s, 90s and latter part of the year 2000 you couldn't get a job or admissions to certain schools.
@@fmlartey4747 hmm, aooo,, Ghanaians and our gullibility! We will let anyone influence us, and we start dancing! How can u sit and do this ignorant dance, and call it an interview. Why would u allow someone who knows absolutely nothing about our precious coexistence of what makes ghana so special, and get u to loudly verbalize what u are thinking privately! I was born and raised in Ghana many years ago, my mum is from western and ashanti and my dad is GA..lol at such difference but so ecclectically beautiful. How many African countries can say this with pride,,,and yet, out of nowhere, these recent years, we started talking about each other like we just woke up yesterday and discovered that we speak different languages! Ah! How is this necessary? How is this benefitting or building a country? We are really treading into such dangerous waters, that God forbid, we may never recover from, if this generation doesnt stop this foolishness right now! What tribalism?! I went to school with a lot of Hausa kids, (northerners) who didnt even know that we were supposed to ne different! They went to Sunday services with us in boarding schools, they ate the same food at dining hall, we spoke each others language, dated each other etc. Then recently, look at the disgraceful way we are behaving! Tribalism tribalism! For what! I thing it's just because people have too much time on their hands, doing nothing! They should hurry up and create jobs for the idle hands, before Ghana youth get sunk into holes that we can never get out off with this foolish talk! If u have something good going for u, u wouldn't want to destroy it by talking about things that u know, will definitely explode your world and take away the good life that u are building for yourself! The other African countries that were encouraged and influenced to kill each other and slaughter each other like aimless animals in the jungle, being provided with weapons to just obliterate each other and destroy their places to sleep, did anyone see any of that youth with guns as people who are successful with work, education, or building any good life for themselves?! Beause, why would any sensible person who has something good going on in their lives, get up and destroy it themselves! Chwiaaa! Our mentality paaa, mobo mobo! Ghanaians should continue feeding on their ignorance, and continue talking about tribalism like it's a toy to play with! Hm!
@@agoogo5026 Really? Which schools couldn't you get admission into based on your tribe? I was in Ghana in the 80s and 90s and spent 7 years in boarding school with Voltarians, Northerners, Gas, Guans, literally every single tribe in Ghana. And this was in the Ashanti region. This is the first time in my entire life I've heard anyone say you couldn't get admission to certain schools based on the tribe you're from. Can you name those schools? Indeed, most people attribute the general tolerance of the various tribes/groups in Ghana to the boarding school system (established before independence) where kids spent up to 7 years living, eating, bathing, making friends with members of all tribes and religious backgrounds.
As far as jobs are concerned, there is nepotism - whom you know, which friends you have in high places, which political party you're affiliated with, who your relatives are etc. Those are all much stronger factors than which tribe you belong to, even in the 90s and certainly the 2000s. I wish you could be more specific in your assertions.
@@agoogo5026 So true
The Audio is better !
Tim, kindly get someone who can think deeply to talk about the issues or the problems facing Ghana. This gentleman may not be playing with a full deck.
Mr Swain, we are a tribal country, we have lived side by side with no major problems, Ghana has not had any Civil tribal wars. Partisan Politics is our problem, incompetence and corruption are the main issues hindering us. Our educational institutions are not exclusive to one tribe. Please, be careful, don't come and create a problem where there is none. Tribes will be here forever. Don't tread where you have not walked, this sort of talk caused wars in Nigeria,(Biafran), Rwanda, and many more. Stay away from contents like this, especially since you are just settling in, you may slip and say something to offend, even if it's your guest, you would be blamed. Stay away from this topic.
Very smart advice for Tim. Hes been doing ok so far, but I think he's venturing into dangerous waters. The thing is, people from monolithic countries, really have always had a fascination or maybe a fixation on how a country can operate singularly with so many different tribes constituting the country., ,also, because they've always heard of tribal wars in certain parts of Africa unfortunately, they just, out of curiosity, want to see or hear how these various tribes think of their neighbours. I was born and raised in Ghana, 60yrs ago, never heard of this much tribalism until these last few years, and I believe strongly that, its fueled and influenced by outside influence, the way they slowly did to eastern part of Africa, and certain parts of Africa, slowly, until the paid and influenced them to kill each other, and destroy their countries,then they swoop in like innocents to pretend to help with restoration of the country, and then tope them into debts, negotiations, agreements, etc. That's the poor citizens dont even know anything about, but all they know is that, the citizens continue to live in poverty and nothing changes. I justin Swain will stop this now! Kwame Nkrumah, worked to hard to make sure that, we would never get dragged into this foolish destructiveness called TRIBALISM! WE are the only country on the continent, that, are comfortable enough with each other, that we intermarry each tribe without any problems. My mum is from Sefwi, and my dad is GA, look at such a difference, but they had six children, run their successful businesses, produced very productive children, and both lived into their 90s until they left us. People even didnt know that my mum wasnt Ga, because she spoke the language so intricately, and impeccably, and even buried in Accra! I hate how Ghanaians have started this foolishness and playing slowly into the hands of foreigners who has nothing to lose if something stupid happens. Look what has happened to Nigeria, because of this damaging ideology! I went to college in Lagos, I never thought today, this sadness will ever happen to Nigeria, we looked up to them, that was our Abrokyire, today, look what they've done to their own country, while obroni is still benefitting from their destruction(oil)!!! We will never recover if we ever ever venture fhis fantasy that Ghanaians having started flirty with. We dont have it in us to recover. We should just be quiet and be the harmless mice that we are! It takes a certain kind of guts and people to hate each other enough to kill and slaughter each other, for ABSOLUTELY NO TANGIBLE REASON, EXCEPT BECAUDE SOMEONE WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM IT, WANTS TO DARE U TO DO IT!! I PRSY SND. BEG GOD EVERYDAY TO DTOP GHANAIANS FROM ENGAGING IN THIS FANTASY! WE ARE SO GULLIBLE, THAT, WE ARE SO EASILY INFLUENCED, SO EVERYONE SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOYT THIS TRUBSLISM BUSINESS, WE HSVE NEVER BEDN PART OF THAT RELIGION! UES, I CALL IT A RELIGION, IR A CULT!!please forgive all my typos. Too worked up!
Interesting
Some Ghanaians live in their own world 😁😁😁😁😁
Partisan and tribalism walk hand in hand without tribalism there won’t be partisanship however tribalism is the downfall and impediment of our development
Partisan is a group of people in one party and tribalism is state of living in a tribe
Tim, the way your guest spoke,one will assume that Ghanaians are at war with each other. By all means we are not perfect but the wilde assertions of tribalism made by your guest are false. Do a little bit research about elected presidents and their tribes. If political parties are organised on tribal lines surely the Akans would have won all elections in Ghana. Please you wish to talk about such weighty issues do us a favour and get people with intellectual depth to talk to.
It's actually illegal to organize political parties along tribal lines and this is enshrined in Ghana's constitution. I dismissed the guest as being intellectually poor and not at all knowledgeable.
I went through the boarding school system in Ghana and I can say for a fact that I didn't know of tribalism in Ghana until I left school. I think it's mostly passed down from the older generation and unfortunately, it's entered our politics. The current party in power, the NPP is a very tribalistic party. They are divisive! The opposition party, the NDC has had an Akan, Ewe and Northerner as president. Their National Chairman is Akyem, Gen Secretary is Bono, Communications Officer is Bono. The NPP on the other hand has only had Akan presidents. The only Northerner they had as chairman was chased out of the party headquarters, locked out and banned from the party. Check the tribes of most appointees of this government. Chief Justice is Akan, Chief of Staff is Akan, IGP is Akan, Chief of Army Staff is Akan, Attorney General is Akan. Luckily, the speaker of parliament isn't an appointee of the president. I can assure you that he would have been Akan.
Be here making noise that there is no tribalism.oneday it will explode and the whole world will know about it
Your topic is sensitively dangerous for our well being, there is no tribalism in Ghana. You cannot speak any Ghanaian language to understand the behavior of the tribes.

This Pastor is completely lost on tribalism in Ghana. Sometimes it baffles me how those who are educated enough to use their education to bring the nation together are the very ones who inflame tribal passions. His assertion about appointment of IGP is not completely untrue. He should give us facts no assumption. There are so many times that I have heard even soccer fanatics accusing football authorities of discrimination against people from the North, but the fact is, through out our history people of Northern descents dominate Ghana soccer than any other ethnic group. He needs to do a bit more research about tribalism before he mislead people. I am not saying there is no tribalism in the country but some of his narratives is not true.
Do really think there is no tribalism in Ghana? Go and listen what the Ashanti regional minister said about the Northerners and what Kennedy Agyaepong said should be done to the Ewes in Kumasi during the past election campaign.

There is no such thing as "Tribalism". And even if there was, that's not a Ghanaian problem. Do not create content on things just to get views. Gang bangers kill each other because the other person is wearing blue and they are team red. People classify themselves as from the midwest, or east coast or south or west coast and use that to divide. Before the pseudo nation of the United States of America, there were "tribes" in America, and they didn't all get along. It's normal. Differences exist and humans will always group together into smaller more relatable clusters. However those clusters can work together to do something great and that is what Nkrumah was able to achieve. No need to go to Africa and make videos on the same white people talking points of "tribalism"
The stuff about tribalism in Ghana is absolute it's all rubbish. Get rid of it once and for all.
Prior to the past presidental election , how many people didn't hear it on some TV and radio stations that Voltarians are not Ghanaians? Why did you you guys who are denying that tribalism doesn't exist in Ghana come out to rebuke those statements? You hypocrites.
