The Arab desert countries cannot support 17 million now - leave alone then. Tell N'Diaye to find something else to do. Outside Egypt - Arab world was just desert countries teeming with camels - and could not support even a million people.

And what would they go and do in middle east? Arabs had no farms - a few slaves were sold to Arab world.

Otherwise the majority in East Africa ended up farming cloves in Zanzibar and madigscar - and such islands to farm spices.
West Africa/Ghana fabrics are unique.
It doesn't look anything like Asian or Indian fabrics.

Unlike Kenya where you borrowed Indian culture so your cloths or prints are Indian-like fabrics.

Uniform should idealy not be multi-colored like Indonesian batik that you adopted and call it your culture. That a whole lot of bright tie and dye :0 that is disruptive - but not as equally as South africa.

Dont restrict your fashion to the adopted Asian batik smiley - there is nothing African about the dress your West Africans are crazy about.
You know nothing about Ghana so stop making up stories.

In Ghana, every school (especially Senior High Schools) have not less than 3 different uniforms.

They all have regular Uniforms and uniforms made of Local prints (what you stupidly think it's an Indonesian batik)

The students have
1) Their regular uniforms. (2 or more different uniforms)
2) Friday wear made of Local fabric (Your so called Indonesian batik grin)
3) Executive wear for ceremonies (Mostly suits)
4) Sunday wears (different Local fabric and another uniform for sunday's)

The idea is to
1. promote the wearing of our local prints.
2. to boost production of our local textile factories.
3. to creat more jobs and many more

your country need to learn a thing or two from us when it comes to school uniforms

Gold Coast governors had two functions
1) They directly ruled or colonized Gold Coast from 16th Century - if English comprehension wasn't a constrain - you'd remember I already described the gold coast as a sliver off the coast of guinea (that include present-day Accra)
2) They indirectly ruled the rest of the territories.
Do you know why you are often refered to as a lunatic on this platform? You type anything that comes offhead.

You just twist and change facts and figures like a mad man.

The British ruled Gold Coast from the 16th century you say? So how do you feel when you change facts about other countries? chai

*I disagreed with the part that you claim Gold Coast sometimes refers to the entire country*.

Gold Coast as we Ghanaians know refers to just one Territory.

If Kenyans and non Ghanaians refer to the entire Country as Good Coast it does not make it right or the norm so learn the right thing today.

The governor of the gold coast ruled all 4 territories since 1825 - precisely after the Brits defeated Napoleon. In 1890s post Berlin Conference - they amalgamated all of them to form Ghana.

Before 1820s - Ghana were under different European rulers - British, Dutch, French, Portuguese - all had their share - and all were carting away slaves and gold in shiploads.
Your thinking is too shallow and bogus.

Let me remind you again.
The argument here is about Gold Coast, and we are telling you that Gold Coast refers to the Regions along the coast of the present day Ghana and not the entire country. There were other names for the other 3 territories.

Whether a certain British Governor later ruled over the entire 4 territories or West African Sub-region or not, that isn't the argument here.

What you are refusing to understand here is Gold Coast refers to a particular territory among the 4 territories that make up the country Ghana.

I'm sure this isn't perculiar to Ghana.

Of course - when British defeated the French in the Napolean wars in 1820s - they took over french colonies. Ditto the rest depending on the European wars and agreement of those times...all from 16th century to 1945 world war II - the Europeans wars and agreement affected their colonies. When German lost - they lost their colonies. When French lost - they lost their colonies. Until they had paid the British war repartation - and were handed a few back.

The Asanti and rest of the kingdom were paying Brits - 76B dollars in gold - so the Brits were just waiting for the money leisurely idlying away in coastal cities of Accra.

If the money didnt come - the British would send the army to teach the King some lessons.
You see how dumb you are?

So per your thinking, British taking over the other 3 territories meant all the other territories were part of Gold Coast?

You just argue anyhow.

The argument here is Gold Coast refers to some few regions in Ghana and not the entire country.

Ghana was/is made up of 4 different territories of which only one territory was called GOLD COAST so let it sink in.

That lie. Gold Coast governors ruled the Kings who ruled those territories. It called indirect coloniliasm - British hit the jackpot - because the got everything they wanted from the King. In coastal region it was direct.
So the British ruled the Germans to rule the Northern Territory?

The British ruled the French to rule Western Togoland?

British ruled the Ashanti King to rule the Ashanti Territory?

You don't get it, do you?

Do you know our history better than we Ghanaians?

Ghana refers to all the 4 territories but Gold coast refers to only the 4/5 southern or coastal regions of Ghana. All the other 3 territories were independent territories ruled by different countries/rulers.

This will be the last time I will waste time on this topic. Believe what you want to believe.You don't write Ghana's history for us.

Your own stories versus Wikipedia - which one do I believe in? All of those regions were under - Governor of the Gold Coast - a Briton.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast_(British_colony)
The Gold Coast was a British Crown Colony on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa from 1821 until its independence in 1957.[2] The term Gold Coast is also often used to describe all of the four separate jurisdictions that were under the administration of the Governor of the Gold Coast. These were the Gold Coast itself, Ashanti, the Northern Territories Protectorate and the British Togoland trust territory.[3

The Northern territories, the Asante empire, the Western Togoland and the Gold Coast proper COULD ALSO all be referred to as the Gold Coast territory.
Read about the Northern Territory.

Our First President played a mojor role in bringing all these territories along

The Northern Territories remained a protectorate until the Ghana Independence Act 1957 annexed the Northern Territories by providing that the territories included immediately before 6 March 1957 in the Gold Coast should, as from that day, form part of Her Majesty's dominions by the name of Ghana.

Read this about Western Togoland and tell me how they are also called Gold Coasters?

The 1956 British Togoland status plebiscite was held in British Togoland on 9 May 1956. ... The referendum offered residents the choice of remaining a Trust Territory until neighbouring French Togoland had decided upon its future, or becoming part of soon-to-be Ghana.

All four territories being refferd to as Gold Coasters doesn't make them all part of the then Gold Coasters.

People of Western Sahara being called Moroccans doesnt change the fact that they have their history.

Be informed that the people of Western Togoland had their referendum a year to Ghana gaining it's Independence. So how do you call them Gold Coasters?

The Ashanti Kingdom for some reasons had to surrender their authority to the British so they can join their brothers and sisters in the then Gold Coast to fight the British.

Northern Territory did same after the Germans left them.

You need to research well about the difference between Ghana and Gold Coast.

In Ghana, all the 4 territories are well aware of their differences.

Gold Coast is made up of these Regions
Greater Accra
Eastern
Western
Central and the
Southern/Coastal part of Volta region

Nothing gets done because they always target the wrong people.

If they really want things done they should target properties of the politicians not
foreigners and private shops.

Protest mostly only degenerate to looting upon how it is responded to..

Looting is not exclusive to SA
Killing by who ? Protesters do not go out to kill themselves...

Destroying properties worth billions, affect the baseline of those who finance the political class...

Democracy requires active citizens, those who are ever ready to even protest and loot to get their demands heard and met..
That is what real activism looks like, It happens on the street before backdoor negotiations..

We are talking about SA and not Nigeria
This particular looting has got to do with Zuma's prosecution. Why do you loot and destroy shops just because a Politician (Former President) has been arrested? I mean How?

If you are really worried about his arrest why not protest or demonstrate in a civil manner?

I am against Looting and destroying of shops any day any time
