Miss Enny, a Ghanaian podcast host on YouTube has ignorantly called Ga men lazy and not successful.
Thought we have a number of them, she is yet to see the success of these Ga men. Speaking on her podcast, Miss Enny said the most successful men in Ghana are either Ashantis, Kwahus, Akyems, or Ewes, but Ga men have not achieved much to get a mention.
However, twitter users have attacked Miss Enny for her observation, she also dared anyone to mention Ga men who are prominent in society since she does not know yet. “I look at the successful people in Ghana, and I don’t see Ga men inside. When I am thinking about successful people, I don’t see Ga men, and the perception of them being lazy could be true.
The Fante and Ewe men are more serious, but the Ga men have either bleached or are working as trotro mates,” she observed.
Upon my research, l realized the Miss Enny is a Ga girl or lady who lives in Teshie. In Teshie, she sees a lot of young aldults who prefer a lazy approach to life by loitering arounf rather than getting something productive to do.
Frederick Nortey’s Response To Miss Enny
For me, Miss Enny’s unguided opinion is false because in every geographical location or area you will see diffirent ethnic group or tribe with carefree or lazy individuls. Her observation is totally false and she has no data to back that up.
Ga-land was actually built by Ga’s and Ashantis, Kwahus, Akyems, Ewes and Northners have all trooped in to seek greener pastures and to better their lives. The Ga-land is now an ultimate paradise for them and no doubt.
Now, Miss Enny, one of the ignorant graduates out there must now make good use of the internet and not coming across as uninformed and barly educated.
Maybe, the elders in her family should lecture her on king Nii Ayi Kushi’s exploits in the 16th century and king Takie Tawiah lll.
The fact that you are not seeing Ga names in politics, sports, boxing, medicine, education, research, law, engineering, arts, mathematics, media etc doesn’t mean they are not successsful or lazy. When you get time, try checking on these names; Daniel McKorley, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, Aaron Mike Oquaye, Joshua Alabi, Peter Ala Adjetey etc.
I admire your energy but next time do proper research before you spew rubbish against your tribesmen.
Goodbye!
