Controversial media personality Afia Schwarzenegger has once again ignited a tribal controversy after attacking Afia Pokuaa for her remarks about Asantes.
Pokuaa, a seasoned journalist, had spoken out against the perception that people from the Asante tribe often feel superior to other ethnic groups in Ghana.
Her comments, which were made during an appearance on Mona Gucci’s show, were aimed at promoting unity and discouraging tribalism.
However, Afia Schwarzenegger, never one to shy away from controversy, responded with a fiery attack.
In a video shared on social media, she lashed out at Pokuaa, firmly stating that Asantes are indeed superior to other tribes.
Her reaction further fueled the ongoing tribal tensions, with many expressing concern about her choice of words and the potential impact on national unity.
Afia Schwarzenegger didn’t stop at defending the Asante tribe; she also launched a verbal assault on the Ewe community.
In her tirade, she directed derogatory remarks towards the Ewe people, specifically targeting Mona Gucci for allowing Pokuaa to express her views on the show.
Afia’s comments have sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning her for inciting tribal divisions and using inflammatory language.
This incident has brought the issue of tribalism in Ghana back into the spotlight, as it highlights the sensitivities surrounding ethnic pride and inter-tribal relations.
While Afia Pokuaa’s initial message appeared to call for understanding and equality, Afia Schwarzenegger’s aggressive response has only served to deepen the divide and fuel further animosity.
Netizens also responded:
