This is muddying up the issue under discussion. The question is not about whether Ghanaians think of themselves as belonging to a tribe.
The point is that the distinction between terms such as nation, clan, and tribe is arbitrary, in a sense.
We condemn “tribalism” and yet extol nationalism, although they spring from the same attitudes and worldviews.
- dismantlethesun 5y agoWell if you say they're arbitrary, I can't disagree with you. The distinction between all words is obituary, especially when it comes to sociological concepts. But if in truth there's no reason to condemn “tribalism” and yet extol nationalism, then I think we ought to be proud of the original and most commonly used term "Tribe" and look down upon its usage.
