  "account": "Ga mother and Abeka Manye, Naa Ayeley Osongor II, has voiced her concern over parents, particularly Ga mothers, who are slowly replacing the mother tongue with English in their homes. While speaking at the Abeka Homowo celebration event, Naa Ayeley Osongor II pledged to launch a large-scale campaign to promote the use of the Ga language in family communication, warning that the language is in danger of disappearing. \"It is quite disheartening to observe our Ga women conversing in English with their children at home, which is a matter of great concern for me. As mothers, if we teach our children using our native Ga language, we can safeguard our culture and traditions,\" she emphasized. Naa Ayeley Osongor II also urged the Ministry of Education and other Ga leaders to reintroduce the compulsory teaching of the Ga language in schools, stating, \"Among my priorities is the reintroduction of mandatory Ga languages in our schools. If there are schools in Ga land, it is only right that their language is also taught.\"",
