Your very low IQ is really showing now. You fit the description of a retard.

You're the stupid one here. You are creating problems where non exists. I guess the only phrase you know is low IQ too. The state used an image of a person from your ethnic group. why are you nagging about an adinkra symbol. So your issue here is Adinkra? Get your brain checked.

Im told history was taken out of the curriculum a long time ago. Your post seems to confirm it.

You are fucking idiot. The post is about semiotics and not people. If the state decides to use adinkra, then other symbols need to be represented. But if course that is lost on you. did you understand the post of you just opened ur low IQ mouth to chat shit

Your education clearly failed you if you can't differentiate between a post about semiotics and people.

Wey gyimii koraa this. Do you know the number of ethnic groups in Ghana (between 70 to 100). If every one is asking for representation, how would our currency look like?. Some of the people in the notes are guan, ewe and Ga. big English, no substance

You are clearly not thinking. The post is about semiotics. Not people. Your public school education should have taught you basic comprehension. Go and look that up and come and talk to me.

Now that you’ve been made aware that there’s a representation of ewes and Ga’s on the bank of Ghana notes, can you please correct yourself in the post as it’s untrue and full of pettiness?

the responses to my semiotics post illustrates the effects of poorly resourced public schools. Ghana's education system is so hollowed out it consistently produces robot-sheep in rather copius amounts.

I see some of you are frothing at the mouth. Im talking about semiotics, with regard to particular groups who aren't represented. Is that you can't read or just an air head. The comments suggest the latter.

the absence of Ga samai and Ewe dzesiwo from Bank of Ghana heritage notes is not merely aesthetic; it is symbolic violence that normalises Akan hegemony in state iconography. This sort of selective representation turns public currency into a site of exclusion, reproducing ++

affective inequalities and weakening citizens’ sense of ownership. The consequence is a quiet delegitimisation of the postcolonial state as neutral arbiter: Ga, Ewe and Northern communities are reminded of peripheral status, grievances become culturally coded ++

and national identity is narrowed. Normalised erasure sustains asymmetric citizenship and undermines inclusive nation-building. There's a quiet akanisation’ of the Ghanaian state, and we can't pretend not to notice.

I remember hearing this at a gathering in Bonn in 2011. I was the only one caught off guard at the time.

Ghanaian history remains unfamiliar to the public, while scholarly revisionist dispute ethno-nationalism + colonial governance, Nkrumah’s overthrow only deepen the confusion;people emerge from the argument still no wiser about the our deeply contested past.

Abt the communist convo on Gh twitter. socialism is either a broad unit of collectivist systems or, in Marxism-Leninism, the transitional stage; communism is the theoretical end goal of a stateless, classless, post-scarcity society. There's no democracy in a capitalist state.
