WHAT AM I HEARING? IS THERE A CONSTITUTION IN GH? I MEAN WHERE IS THE TENETS OF LAW AND ORDER. SOME BODY COME AGAIN. WHO EVER WOLOMU SHOULD BE INVITED BY THE POLICE TO EXPLAIN HIS DECLARATION. NO ONE HAS MONOPOLY OVER VIOLENCE. WE ARE IN A DEMOCRATIC STATE AND NOT A RELIGIOUS STATE THIS IS NOT CULTURE IT IS A RELIGION FOR WHICH WE HAVE FREEDOM GUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.

What the ga mantse, ama, greater accra govt must do is this. Not everyone, business can abide by the ban. We are not all gas. So if you have a business or entity and decide to engage in noise making during the period. Then there must be a small fee or fine you must pay to the game chieftancy. So for eg if there is a commercial soccer game, concert, boxing etc during that period on the calendar. Then the promoters or organizers of the event have a choice. U either postpone it or. PAY a small fine to appear the gap chiefs. Now, I'm sure this will even bring infighting amongst the gap chiefs. Abossy okai, mamprobi, nungua, teshie, osu, la, Tema, sukula, Newtown, korea gono chiefs will all be fighting for their share....lol

Nonsense!

Too bad for burying your head in the sand like you don't know of local any local tradition observed in different parts of Ghana.

Please, the next time you move to another locality in Ghana, take time to inquire whether they have any customs that can disturb your fickle sensibilities.

Or even better, try holding a funeral of your Mother or Father when the Asantehene is holding his periodic anniversary celebrations and see whether your head is not chopped off.

How do we modernize and at the same time keep our traditions? Lets hope that cooler heads will prevail so that we can find a solution to this conundrum. The GBA should have known about this " no noise making tradition." For those who think we should forget our traditions I say to them think again. What are we going to become as a people if we forget our tradtions. We can mordernize and still keep some traditions.

I think these people need to stop all air planes and vehicular movement in Accra in order to observe good their so call spiritual what and what. How can a leader stir up violence as a means to stop legal business. Do not forget that the constitution override all those outmoded beliefs, just Ghanians are full of compromises./ Freedom of association applies to everybody. Talk like a peaceful leader.

U have more ppl, more global commerce activities going on. So must we shit down the city and lose out on all these revenues becos of osu mantse? Cmon guys......allow this ban to aff ct osu mantse daily bread and see what they will say. Instead of investing in this fight and making money. They are playa hating waiting for alms.

I fully agree with the Osu Mantse's order. For those who think its foolish I bet you if it were coming from a white man they would obey.

Bottomline is that this fight is not that important anyway. These are two old men who can't cut it on the world stage trying to make a name for themselves on the national stage. No big deal postpone the damn fight! After all it was postponed once why not a second time? Ghanaians want to tell me they will rather listen to the sermon of a mad preacher called TB Joshua than a Chief?

This govt has allowed itself to be dictated to by these people because of votes and now we appear to be living in Accra like aliens. Something should be done before we are told that the president of Ghana must be GA or hw ill not be allowed to enter the presidential palace.

The Ga community cannot, with their so called tradition, hold Ghana to ransom. They must know that the Greater Accra region is a cosmopolitan region and they the indigenes contribute nothing to the region's development and it is rather the strangers that are making the region develop. If they want to really ban noise-making, they should stop cars, lorries articulated trucks motor-cycles aeroplanes and other vehicles from moving because the vehicles make more noise than the human beings in the region. Why at all do we call ourselves a 'christian nation' and still condone this kind of worthless and pointless tradition? What sort of development at all has such a tradition brought to the region? A misplaced priority indeed!
