Dove; A Town Where It Is A Taboo To Menstruate, Give Birth And Bury The Dead
It is a taboo for women to give birth to babies or even menstruate in Dove, a town in the Mafi Traditional Area of the Central Tongu District.
As such, those expecting their menstruation and pregnant women in labour are by whatever possible means carried out of the town. They only return after delivery and after their menses have stopped.
This revelation was made by Dr Joseph Nuertey, the Volta Regional Medical Superintendent, when he delivered the state of health care in the region during the first general meeting of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs (VRHC) at Ho.
Dr Nuertey lamented that because of the age-long taboo, all efforts by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to establish a health facility to take care of birth and other issues had proven futile. He added that the taboo also forbade the burial of the dead in the town.
The medical superintendent, therefore, appealed to the VRHC to use their good offices to appease the gods in the area to lift the taboo. Dr Nuertey's revelation left the traditional rulers dumbfounded.
This prompted the Paramount Chief of the Battor Traditional Area, Togbega Patamia Dzekley VII, to say that he would immediately contact the chief and elders of Dove to see what could be done to resolve the issue
In most circumstances, it is the women, who are mostly farmers that nurture the children until maturity. According to the medical superintendent, he has been told that the gods of the town frown on anybody who flouts the taboo.
Dr Nuertey announced that maternal mortality in the region continued to be too high and this he attributed to the inadequate number of medical personnel and facilities in the region.

The same Chinise were brought in by Nkrumah to build the Dam, Nkrumah did not only do feasibility studies, the Chinise were actually there to build the Dam with millions of equipment and materials in place when Nkrumah was overthrown by UP Cronnies the NLM/C under Kotoka/Afrifa.
They drove the Chinise out and one would have expected my dear Kofi Abrefa Busia to resurrect the Bui Project since it would have benefited his home. Hatred for Nkrumah and anything Nkrumah had started would not let him resurrect the Bui Project!
Now you want people to believe that Nkrumah did only a feasibility studies? And give credit only to those that twarted the project to begin with?
Shame, do not twist history!
Anyway I am very excited that after so many years and so much money wasted because of politics we will finally see a Bui Dam and enjoy its fruits.
This should be a lesson for politicians. I respect John Kuffour for resurrecting the project, I thank John Mills for continuing from where John Kuffour left. That is how we build a nation. National interest first before politics!
I hope they do something also with all such projects in the interest of the Nation.

Spoken like a true patriot. I wish all my compatriots were as well-informed and as magnanimous as you are. Ghana was destined for greatness and this is waht Nkrumah saw all along.
The trouble with his then opponents was that, they did not have the capacity to see the big picture that Nkrumah and others envisioned. Hence they were reduced to resorting to tribal bickering and other parochial pursuits that could only serve the interests of a few privileged individuals, whilst the vast majority of the population and Africa in general continued to languish in poverty and ignorance.

Oow! This writer is not historically balanced. Bui Dam was not initiated and executed by his Execellency Kuffour. It was the brainchild of former President Dr Nkrumah but was abandoned after the 1966 coup. Ex President Kuffour picked it up and was very pragmatic about it where other subsequent leaders have just paid lip service. That is how it has to be, our leaders continuing projects their predecessors left off and not leaving them to fall into decay. Much as he has done a yeoman's job the records should be set straight.

If a CHINESE COMPANY can build a dam for GHANA,why did they(CHINESE)GOVMENT engage AMERICAN & CANADIAN ENGINEERS to build their biggest dams in CHINA?
Chinese know they fall short in many areas but we AFRICANS,being so naive and sometimes stupid,have gained a whole lot of confidence in these equally naive Chinese,giving them lion shares of our huge contracts.Just because we have a socialist government in power.
I went on abusiness trip in China(1993) to purchase building mayerials for Ghana mnarket.I was surprised the BEIJIN HOTEL I resided had AMERICAN BUILDING MATERIALS FIXED IN IT.So I inquired why they did that.THEY REPLIED:"QUALITY".They like products manufactured by foreign companies abroad as well as in CHINA but not their own products.Because,AFRICA is their dumping gruonds for their inferior products.Isn't that sad?
It's about time AFRICA OPENS her eyes to avoid stupid mistakes our leaders commit in making naive decisions for us.Because one's decisions control his future.It's very very bad and sad,if others make decisions for you.Therefore our leaders should not take us a for a ride.

NPP was full of wise foresighted politicaians unlike......
What was the percentage of work done b/4 NPP left power? SHUT-UP
Go and ask your evil ewe tribe and Kotoka. They will give you the answers you have been looking for all the time. You heard me right.
Bravo NPP. We know NDC lack the capacity to initiate and successfully complete any programme eg STX. But when someone initiate and set the schedule plan then they can implement at a higher cost. This is what we call 'Spoon Fe ...

One man show, a visionary with bad advisors. RIP.
Why didn't Rawlings in his 20 years rule build the dam? What about Nkrumah's light, Limann? Nkrumah did not bring any Chinese or any millions of equipment when Nkrumah by the time he was deposed did not have a cent in the n ...

Longtime Politicians cast their noise ,to hail and run Bui Dam after Dada Nkrumah,overthrown and still Nyenhuhweeee action not words
WE HAVE KUFUOR BUSES, WE KUFUOR DOLLAR AND NOW KUFUOR DAM.
ALL HAIL KUFUOR AND THE NPP!!!!!!!!!!!
"DEVELOPMENT IN FREEDOM IN ACTION".
The dam was build with ghanaianas taxpayers money
At least for once, a report from this trash newspapaer shows some history.
How much is Asiedu Nketia's cut in the deal? We know he is supplying the cement blocks even though he is a member of the Board.
President Mahama and team relocate the capital city to Kintampo now!
Does it really matter which political party started this project? Just get it done.
ARE U SERIOUS? THEN WHY DO U VOTE FOR A PARTICULAR PARTY? ASK YOURSELF!!
Oow! This writer is not historically balanced. Bui Dam was not initiated and executed by his Execellency Kuffour. It was the brainchild of former President Dr Nkrumah but was abandoned after the 1966 coup. Ex President Kuffou ...

Mr. Daily Guide, brilliant revelation. Which government also started the exploration of Oil in Ghana as well?
If a CHINESE COMPANY can build a dam for GHANA,why did they(CHINESE)GOVMENT engage AMERICAN & CANADIAN ENGINEERS to build their biggest dams in CHINA?
Chinese know they fall short in many areas but we AFRICANS,being so naive ...

Currently, the economies of the two countries that you mentioned are being controlled by China. 1993 - 2013 is enough years for something better to happen. There is nothing wrong for China to contribute to our development.
The PNDC and NDC were in power for 20 years and could not pull off the construction of the BUI Dam until the NPP came to power. Now the NDC and Asiedu Nketia and Co. are enjoying the fruits of the NPP labor. This shows which ...

If not already done, the flood path of the dam be cleared of trees so that the lake created by the dam be navigable.
That is a very wise advise.Get Chainsaw operators and give them a contract for cutting all trees in the lake area for firewood and charcoal.
The only presidents who have contributed immensly to Ghana are Nkrumah and Kuffuor.
God bless these two.
Mahama, Start thinking about Ghana instead of your pocket.
If the Chinese are in charge of this project then what is the purpose of the Ghanaian Engineers.We can do this on our own and do not have to depend on foreign company.Its a big shame
GOOD JOB NDC FOR THE CONTINUATION OF AN NPP INITIATED PROJECT.
This Asiedu Nketia guy knows what he has done and still doing which is why he is doing everything to stay in power because he knows there is nothing transparent about dealings with this Bui project.He knows he can always sit ...

THe Bui dam vindicates Nkrumah's vision.
Why did it take so long to begin constructing this dam, if the plans had been laid in 1960?
THis is the kind of project we need to provide us with energy.
