I thank you honourable Ayikoi Otoo for educating me on Ga prominent personality in Ghana, I am Adjei Klu from Teshie,thank you very much.

My dad was a marine pilot' Pilot T.T. Tetteh of GPHA. He was a Ga-Dangme as well. He was one of the Young Pioneers and was sent to the then Yugoslavia to be trained as a pilot by Dr Kwame Nkrumah . He was very instrumental in shaping the maritime industry and oil exploration in the Saltpond Basin

I’m such a proud Ga man.

A fascinating piece of history from a great historian and a consummate lawyer. Nice to learn this about my Ga-Damgme people!

My appeal is all this should be written and publish so we can learn from our pass hero’s and our current hero’s of GaDangme land✌🏻✌🏻...

Perfect. Friends overseas say you should write a book for that.

All is not lost, let's continue with the baton.... so we don't fall behind.

This is fascinating. I’m really learning a lot. Such a rich history and contributions of the Gas. Indeed these need documentation

Awesome 👏🏿 Proud of you General, keep the fire blazing

I'm a kwahu/Ashanti I lived in adabraka for sometime growing up! In ga communities there is never a dull moment, talking about food to buy, food everywhere, entertainment, they have a great sense of humor! They are loud n can insult too, hahaha! I think Ga women generally are very hard working but not ambitious enough, they don't strife to do better mostly because they either live in houses for free or have family close to cater for them but all in all Ga people are interesting to be around, I learnt the language kakra so when they insult I also reply ooo

Ga's have the tradition of living together as one family so they can help each other, is the reason why we don't mind sharing our homes and communities with anyone who comes to settle with us. Now the Ga's has been taken for a fool because of that. But a time is coming things will change. God is our help🙏🏽

Uncle you're saying the truth you know really the history

They get hurt when they hard of Gas history

Try and talk Dr Nii Amu, he is currently in Sydney Australia. He is a walking history book.

My great-grandfather was the Ga-Dangbme, sponsored Dr KWAME Nkrumah financially, the land they used to build the whole Tema and Dodowa was my great grandfather’s but no one talks about it, it was only former president Kuffor when he came to power, he decided to compensate our family so gave us some land at shai hill which is now been used for family farm, he also decided to give us another one at kpone, but he didn’t complete it before he left, and that was the end, so Ga-Dangbme people played huge part in development of Ghana

Attorney general Ambassador Ayikoi Otoo referred to is Mr.Archibald Lartey Djabatey not Djabanor. That was in the Dr.Liman's PNP administration. We called him Uncle Lartey. The Djabanor was Justice George Djabanor ( Uncle Georgie) was a high court judge

Paul Nii Moi was my father's friend may he continue to rest

Painful if U ask me how the demographics of makola changed ... this socalled revolution messed up the Ga state big time...never thought about it...

we're waiting for the book.

My great grandfather name was Kwesi Nkoa, that’s dangbme, it means big kwesi, in twi is kwesi panyii, in Dodowa, they made a song with his name which they normally sing in occasions and dipo

Of course. There were Akan quarters in GA Mashie where the remidors and Akan traders and 'refugees' used to live. Also Otubluhom was the settlement created by Otu in the 1680s who was an Akwamu royal so there are many Gas who are actually Akan by heritage but now consider themselves Ga. However they retain their Akan language and festivals.

There are Akan quarters in Ga mashie, this happened because of the in land slave trade between the north and south. These individuals were traded to the south to help with ship merchants and sailors. We even have a Nigerian quarters in Ga mashie called ‘ Alata’ quarters.

With all these prominent Gas, guys like Kweku Manu keep saying Gas don't build houses. I guess all the houses in Accra were built by non Gas. What an irony. Gas have always been educated and not paupers and acquired lots of properties.

You should have asked him why the Gas are losing their lands just like that. The Gas keeps selling all their lands. I can't understand why a Ga family will sell a vast land yet keep living in poverty. I can't understand it at all. Go to those who sold Ablekuma lands, Joma, Bokoboko, etc. These guys have sold large acres of land and one cannot see the impact of the proceeds. It's about time we manage Ghana from the regional point. Let every region start asking serious questions and let's see the problems. You cannot sell all Accra lands now. The lands belong to not only the living people but to both the born and unborn babies. I feel scared of the inheritance of the unborn natives. A time will come for the newborn to initiate legal actions against their people and claim the lands. They will seek interpretation as to whether not born means you are or not part of the family properties. What about, I'm available now, so whats and where is my share? can they prove their case by making an argument that it was illegal for selling the lands without their involvement? If I'm part of the family then I should have a stake in family properties. *Delay is not denial* so I need my share. 😃😃😃😃 This might sound weird but wait for it.
