I had someone translate this comments to me, and alas, I was shocked.This shows how uncivilised and insensitive some Ghanaians could be. I thought Ghanaians were among the most civilized and concerned people on earth, but for someone to use such coarse language at the death of another human being is really disgraceful.
Why can't Ghanaians at this moment of universal progress do away with tribalism and partisan politics and help to move their country forward.

Did he really write that June 4th was to take the economy from the Akans?

If so, then it was a great error, because June 4th was supported largely by Akan Soldiers, the greatest being Boakye Gyan.

Perhaps the prof was misunderstood in what he was reporting.

For your info, Rawlings is first a Scot and second an Akan because it is from the Akan Land that his children will inherit from.

Captain Kojo Tsikata was never the brain behind June 4th. Indeed, he only was recruited to help to manage the Security after 31st December 1981.

Likewise his cousin Tsatsu Tsikata, assisting with the legal frameworks and so on.

If you hate someone, try to establish the real reason for the hate.

His profile should include his pure hatred towards Ashantis/Akans. This is a man who harbors pure and unflinching hatred towards anything Akan. He thought Akans are those who will send him to his grave but lo. This will prefer to dine and wine with a Muslim terrorist than an Akan in Ghana because while on earth, all his attention was towards Akans and how dangerous and unpredictable they can be. Tweakai. Think evil and evil will always follow you. This should be a warning to those who have made it their duty to peddle falsehood against Nana Akuffo Addo. They will meet the same fate.

Professor Kofi Awoonor-Williams

I was shocked and saddened by Prof. Kofi Awoonor, death. I know I will miss him, but I am glad that I was able to get to know him so well. He has been a blessing from God. I will be praying that God will bless you and give you strength at this time.
Good father hold a special place in their hearts for their children and most children hold a special place in their hearts for their father. I'm sorry for the hole that you have now. "Great people such as your father are an inspiration to those who they are around. Your father will continue to be an inspiration for me even though he has passed. He will live on in my memory and thoughts. It is an honor that I was able to call your father my dad. I can't help but smile on the inside when I think about the legacy he is leaving behind. He taught a lot to his children and his children's children. Think about all the generations that will be blessed in some way by the life he lived. To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead. God called home another great servant and saint. He feeds us, teaches us, loves us, and spends time with us. When he leaves us, he lives on through us. What I remember most about your father was his wisdom and warm-heartedness. He was patient and never seemed to speak ill of others. "A father is someone who cares a lot whether you have just scraped your knee or found out about a terminal illness. I admire the life that your father lived, and I can only hope that I can have as strong of a finish to my life as he did. Your father will be greatly missed and we are sorry for your loss. Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh. I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. This the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
For a culture that has such a problem with death, we seem to deal with it in a quite bizarre way. We see people shot, killed and blown up, and we find it funny and sexy and all those things. But, the reality of it is that every day people die, and people are really sad and they grieve and they go through a really difficult process with it.
“Papa, babaa nawo!”
May we all continue to be inspired by a life well lived that will continue to live in our memories.
R.I.P.

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."-1 Thessalonians 4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”-Revelation 21:4

Why exclude from his collections the book on the so-called Ghana Revolution where he preached tribalism. He indicated in that book that he was eve first and a Ghanaian second.

In the late 1980s, Dr Kofi Awoonor was Ghana's Ambassador to Cuba. He physically welcomed Ghanaian students at the Jose Marti International Airport, Havana, Cuba; of which I was a member. He had later invited several of us to his house, for leisure, and had regularly visited various schools, which had Ghanaian students. Such schools included the Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School (Vente Ocho, 28), on Isla de Jeventud. From Cuba, he was sent down to New York, as Ghana's Ambassador to the UN.

"How are the Mighty Fallen and the Weapons of War Perish!!!" It is ironic, or perhaps Divine Providence, that the person who by his book had sought to incite Ghanaians, especially the Ewes and Akans, to blow themselves up, shoot and hack each other to death, will meet with the same fate in far away Kenya. May the Good Lord Be Praised! Now Prof, those of your ilk, who were involved in the murder of President Atta-Mills, including President Mahama, Asiedu Nkatia and the late President's own twin brother, Dr. Atta-Mills, will follow suit; not forgetting all those who in diverse ways stole the People's mandate. May be they will follow not in the same manner; but they will follow all the same. Now again Prof, who is going to "chop" all the money you stole from the Ghanaian Tax Payer and stashed away in Mexico? You see, God is long-suffering but not asleep. He passes judgement and metes out punishment in His own time. Some, perhaps many, may hypocritically express sorrow at your fate; and they may say all sorts of things about me, I will still say "Prof, may your dirty, corrupt, criminal and tribalistic soul ROT IN HELL!!! Amen.

KOFI AWONOOR THE GREAT DEVOTEE OF HUBRIS IS GONE WITH THE WIND. AWONOOR-WILLIAMS THE EWE ETHNOCENTRIST WAS BROUGHT UP AS AN ASANTE AND HAVING BEEN FED WITH ASANTE WISDOM TURNED HIS BACK TO HIS BENIFACTORS. HE BECAME "AMEGAHOHO" OF HIS EWE TRIBE AND SPEEWED POISON ABOUT HIS BENEFACTORS. LEAST DID HE KNOW THAT THE POWER BEHIND THE GREAT EMPIRE THAT DEFEATED THE BRITISH IN THREE ANGLO-ASANTE WARS AND AT THE PEAK OF ITS POWER OCCUPIED AN AREA BIGGER THAN GHANA TODAY WAS NOT TO BE TOYED WITH. ADIEU TRIBALIST!!!

too small was the mortality for you,

we shall preserv ur prints,
and like our names u remain in our hearts,

THE KOFI AWOONOR OF AFRICA HAS FALLEN!!
Dzogbese Lisa has treated you thus:it has led u in the sharps of this world. now returning is imposible and going forward is not negotiable. the affairs of this world are going to the dogs, & into it's traps u have stepped. & when we call out to u, u responded not.now u are in the world extrem beneath, sitting in row of those who are no more. now u are somewhere where u can't turn here or there. Alas! the traveler did not return. Alas death has made war upon Ghana.
