Absolutely correct for there is Ashanti Region, Brong and Ahafo Region and others.The Gadangme people are not and MUST NOT be treated as second class citizen s on their own homeland of Accra and it's environs in Ghana
Politically you may be correct John Quaye Quao however it doesn't reflect exactly what the regions like B/A and Ashanti you referenced are made of only people for description purposes, I bet to differ on your views on this. Asanteman transcend region - There are Omanhene of many traditional councils in regions such as B/A that belong to Asanteman, an example is the Omanhene of Nkoranza traditional area, Tepahene, Wenchi, Berekum, to mention but a few. It was until recent past that, Region such as B/A was carved from the larger Ashanti territory. And even we have witnessed another additions of six regions, of which our leaders says it brings the central government closer to the people who inhabits these places. I'm not against your support for the idea of whatever name we should adopt for whichever region but we should consider the national interest first in whatever is it that we Us a people benefits all. I do likely believe that, we should fight for the development of our motherland Ghana because Ghana is a state and not just a region. If our country develops across board, these issues of name change and language used may be considered if need be. Thank you for your attention.
Why don't you petition to stop using English? The airport may be in Accra but it doesn’t belong to Gamei. It's a national asset. Let's stop the foolishness. I'm a Ga but I have no problem with Akwaaba. Have you checked the number of Twi words in the language? Or names like Adjei, Appiah, Darko, Cofie, etc. Chieftaincy itself is an Akan custom.

Change the name to whatever and we will have the national capital moved from Accra, period! Change the name and use the moneys that can be used for national development for the benefit of all to print new letterheads at the expense of a ghanaian tax payer? What shall that profit Ghanaians in the other regions? If you are calling for the name to be changed, then you should rather call for relocation of the national capital to another region so that we will all relocate and leave Accra for you to change the name to whatever yourselves. Accra is not for the Gas alone, it is for all Ghanaians. About 80% of the resources from the other regions are used to develop Greater Accra, and the people from those regions are not even complaining and you say what? We should change the name to Ga adan what?
The newly created regions were renamed with your personal pocket monies right? Why are some of you so block headed. If the region is renamed Gadangme how does that affect your well being?
Finally, it starts from the top! You have your name, your mission, your vision and through to as your actions. Ashanti region is named such, Greater Accra region should be renamed accordingly
I agree with The Ga Chief. Accra is name wrongly spelt of Nkrane meaning Ga. Ga or Nkrane meaning Fire Ants. Nkrane in Akan and Ga meaning Ga Fire Ants.
Other tribes feel threatened, beause the Ga leaders have made the place so comfortable for them to the extent of them insulting us. Simple naming of region, then you guys are complaining. Did we say you people to pack your things? This is our home and we want to name it after us, then you outside the home will be complaining, are ok at all? How has the renaming got to do with your stay in Accra? Please this is a home cleaning exercise so dont be scared. But i dont blame you people,If the Ga people were to be greedy like by now you wont be here complaining. U would have still be in the bush. But no, we even brought out a policy to allow everyone to dwell and also achieve something on our land. Instead of you people to be grateful, u rather turn your back on us and insults us as if we know nothing. Now we have started taking what is ours and you are complaining, are you ok ? If The GAS were to dominate and didnt allow the intrusion of any tribe, do you think you will be here to be tying nonsense. If u guys dont know, we EARNED the capital it wasnt GIFTED, our ancestors fought for it. So dont think The British gave it to us on a silver platter, be guided . So the next time you feel comfortable on Ga land be grateful to the Ga people and stop the insults. Thank you
Having pride in one's tribe does not automatically mean you hate another tribe. Why when Gas assert their pride, we hear cries of tribalism? When others do it, silence??? Everybody should be proud of where they come from and everyone has equal value.
This will open unnecessary tribal debates, there is already a suggestion of relocating the capital to a more central part like Nigeria did with Abuja, because of conjestion and the concentration of all national developments in Accra, The dagombas, Akyems,frafras, gonjas ,sefwis and ewes will also demand the renaming of their regions after their tribes, Nii with all due respect, let sleeping dogs lie,,,,
They are not talking about other regions. This is an agreement made by Ga and Dangmes...the only two ethnic groups in Greater Accra to request for renaming of the region. No one is talking other regions here
@@gresszillers3090 My dear don't mind them, what is wrong with changing the name to GaDangme region? Unless they have a bad perception about the GaDangme ethnic group, I see no reason why they should be worried about this
What happens to the Ga/Dangbe/Krobo lands that fall in the Eastern region? Will that be demarcated and brought into the new region? This is a needless exercise really and should not be the focus of our efforts at this moment
It's not needless. The Eastern region can rename themselves accordingly, the chiefs can meet discussand come up with a change in name or not, but those in G.A want the name changed and the chiefs representing those lands have put in their request, this should not be a controversial issue.
I still don't understand why some of you are feeling hurt over a name change? Geez...when Oti region and the other new regions were created, did you feel so bitter about it?
Jesus helps the small and mighty tribes of Ga Dangme tribes of Greater Accra. Matthew 19:30 ESV Bible But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
At a time other regions in Ghana are fighting tooth and nails for "Greater" to be added to their regional names. Accra, rather strangely, with their current crop of leaders and traditional office holders seeking the opposite by asking the name "Greater" be removed.
The "Greater" Accra region, Eastern region, Central region...all those names have no relevance. We need to use Ghanaian words to name the regions. Look at South Africa, they have Guateng Province, KwaZulu natal etc
Accra is what she is because of contributions from other regions. The Gas should grow up. Shatta Wale, a Ga man who become rich, look at his behavior. The capital of Ghana is in their region and yet they have never produced a President before in the 64 years of Ghana as a nation.
This Biasness towards Ga people is really sad but not God will surely intervene Someday. If others helped in building Accra so what? The natives should be treated as second class citizens right?
@@eugeneaderkotey9715 It can not be, Accra must remain Accra. I am Accra born and raised, I speak Ga with no accent, am from Mamprobi. Accra’s Name has international recognition.

I'm a Ga-Adangbe but this is desperate and tribalistic. It's so unnecessary and divisive. what then? the Ewes and some of the people in the north would be making the same demands? These chiefs must rather be made to promise to us to stop selling the lands. It will only be Ga-Adangbe region in name if the region and everything in it is owned by non Ga-Adangbes
Absolutely 💯 great comment. Imagine regions with gold, bauxite, oil, diamonds, timber decide their money can't be used in Accra. People are not thinking. Other tribes are reading and taking note.
