MAHAMA AND HIS CORRUPT NDC MUST TELL US WHAT EXACTLY THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE MASSIVE $20 BILLION THEY HAVE BORROWED IN JUST THE LAST 5 YEARS, IF HE IS SAYING,HE HAS NOT BORROWED FOR DRINK AND MERRY MAKING, WHICH MEANS CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE. HOW COULD YOU STEAL MONEY BELONGING TO THE POOR CHILDREN STRUGGLING TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREETS, DRIVE PAST THEM AND HAVE A LAUGH???---- GHANAIANS MUST WAKE UP!! OUR FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK. WE CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS. BAWUMIA HAS ADMONISHED NDC AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN. NDC HAS RATHER VOWED TO BORROW MORE TO PLUNGE GHANA INTO MASSIVE DEBT. HABA! NDC.
NKWASEAFO BI NTI GHANA IS SICK!!! THE CEDI HAS ALREADY DIVED DEEP DOWN!!!!!!!------ WE NEED NANA'S WISDOM. HIS LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS. WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!!!

I don't think we should make the President feel so high above any Ghanaian. If every traditional chief expects the Preident to honor their invitation, how many days would be left for the President to Work in the office? Such issues are (to me) just a disturbance to the President's Work.
I think the traditional rulers can invite the minister for Chieftiancy affairs to such durbers instead of the President. It is time for us to change from this one-man-presidency and adopt the system of a PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL which will stear the Work of a Prime Minister and the Parliamentarians.

BAKATUE does not mean Lagoon, as the writer stated. It means "The Opening Of The Lagoon." Weeks prior to the festival, there's a ban on the use of the Lagoon for fishing and on certain social activities, including drumming or making noise or simply, merry-making, and others. The festival marks the lifting or "opening" of the ban on the Lagoon and on the social activities.
It is marked by display of musketry and valor by the Osafo (traditional soldiers) companies in the in the streets. The firing of muskets itself has been under the ban till now.
Boat-racing on the lagoon forms a major part of the cerebration. All the chiefs of the traditional area attend the festival in full regalia in a beautiful, powerful, traditional display of pomp and pageantry, each chief waving a wand or sword of authority, as he "dances" to the drumming of his people who carry him in a palanquin at the durbar ground. The drumming and festivities actually follow the lifting of the ban marked by the firing of muskets,three times in succession, by the chief traditional linguist. This is preceded by "casting of the net" in the lagoon that usually brings out a lot fish to the cheering of the breath-bated crowd. To the lagoon fishers, it's an indication a fat season following the ban for weeks on fishing.
The Omanhen, or the Paramount Chief of Edinaman Traditional Area, Nana Kodwo Condua VI, himself usually appears at the durbar in humble white clothes, garnered with green leaves - and no jewery - dancing in his palanquin, waving his wand. The unexpected, wonderful simplicity of his appearance adds ironically immeasurably to his traditional paramount authority.
The Edina Bakatue, in short, is a must-see!

Never before had I seen grown ups squat on the beach and just defaecate until I went for a visit to Elmina Castle! And your avoidance of the issue is a very symbolic example of what is making this country a failed state. We see things happening that are wrong and pretend everything is going on o.k. We just ignore it like it's normal!

Please in the name of common decency and sanitation, in the name of the ancestors who died in the slave castle, in the name of the descendants of the slaves who died at Elmina who come to pay a visit, please do something, as a native of Edina (and a very genuinely proud son of the town), to raise awareness of how terrible this "custom" is! Just a simple edict from the Chief of Elmina, in accordance with traditional law, can help to stop this god-forsaken practice!

I don't know that voters should be instructed on their choice only by the observance of protocol by Presidential candidates.

With reference to history, however, it would have been quite interesting and done much for national coherence. The people of Edina, unlike the rest of the Fantse-speaking areas of the Central Region ("The Fante Confederacy"), sided with the Asante in fighting British colonialism. It is said that taxation by the British without prior agreement and other high-handed policies drove the Edinas into their mutual alliance with the Asantes.

Today's Ghana has descended so much into tribalism that the Asante and Fantse behave as if they were different people. Perhaps this sense of shared history (among other things) could bring some unity in the country. In any case, I would be happy if one traditional area invites the royals of a completely different area to their festival. For example, the people of Edina inviting the Chief of Bolgatanga to their Bakatue!

Mr Ampabeng, the people of Elmina have a right to invite the President especially if the President has ever honoured any invitation by any people to their festival. Moreover, the people would have accepted a representative in the person of the Vice-President or a minister of state.
The Presidents refusal to respond is a sign of a big disarray and lethargy in his government and augurs ill for his government and his party at large. The President is the loser, not the people.

If he is not above anyone in the country then i hope those chiefs need to revenge when he called them next time. they should let him no that a chief has no term and they were our supreme leaders before politics.And still they are at least respect them if your schedule will not allow you to do so tell them the time is not good so minster XY and Z will be represent me.A leader should always show respect even at the time you dont have to.

Personally, I don't know what's worrying Mahama and his many handlers. What's their problem they can't even manage this case of protocol properly? They seem to be out of their depths, a bunch of novices stumbling to crisis manage one crisis after the other they have been creating themselves.

"Bakatue literally means Lagoon", and is celebrated to commemorate the founding of the town, Elmina, by the Europeans. "
Man Bakatue doesn't literally mean Lagoon; it means, "the Opening of the lagoon", as people are prevented from entering the lagoon to fish a month or so to the festival date. Entry is allowed after the festival, hence "Baka" (lagoon) "tuei" opening (Bakatue). The lagoon is open for fishing, and other activities.

The title of this article does not minister grace to hearers, The word, "snub" has been used in previous titles, also, and I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful to do so.

Did the paper check also on the side of the office of the presidency to ascertain the facts of matter.

It is proper and respectful to do so, instead of trying to create a wrong impression about the office of the Presidency.

We also have to understand that there are too many functions that the President has been invited to, and it impossible to honor all of them. In any case, it will be proper to verify facts from the office of the Presidency, instead of presenting a lopsided report on the situation.

The President is not obligated to attend any function or ceremonies he is invited to. The people of Edina should understand that the President's failure to honor their invite is not a slight on them. The towns people have themselves to blame for reserving seats for the President and his team, when there was no indication that he would show up.

May Allah (SWT)act in rescue of suffering and scores of jobless Ghanaians and their families. A wicked president who does not care gets ignored by his creator. May Allah has Mercy on the rest of us. Ameen!

Instead of we Ghanaians thinking about how we have to create jobs we have become dooms day preachers. Is the President the one to hold your hands or open your purse and put money in your pocket. We have the land we have the waters we have the minerals. Money have been made available for investment yet you lazy people will not put on you thinking cap and come together to see how you can create jobs for yourself. Because some of you are lazy foreigners have found it and exploiting our system. How cant we come together and mine our gold how cant we decide that this village we have gold and we can mine it if we have excavators etc so everyone contribute x amount so that each family can benefit from it. Why cant we come together as groups to establish agro industry. say our tomatoes are getting rotten so let us contribute to build a factory and add value to the vegetable. I mean let us wake up from our laziness because it is only lazy people who talk about the progress and success of another. WAKE UP GHANA

Ladies and gentlemen, offering to deities(shrines, river gods, idols) are abhorrent and obnoxious, and the God of Israel(covenant God), the only True God has warned humanity repeatedly through his WORD.

Sacrifices that the nations offer are not to God, but, unto demons(1st Corinthians 10 v20), see also, 1st Chronicles 16 v26 as well as Ex 23 v13, as well as Ex 12 v12.

It is time that communities recognize that they have sinned against the Holy One of Israel, and that it is time men of God are sought, during such occasions, to pray and dedicate activities of the day in the hands of God, asking God for forgiveness against the consequences of sinful practices that has trickled down from our forefathers till today. We need to ask and plead for the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse us from such guilt. Ignorance is no excuse, because everything has been made plain to us, through the WORD of God.

Libation pouring and evoking the names of gods(demons), as well as the offering of all kinds of sacrifices in the name of tradition comes with it curses and unnecessary poverty(see Jeremiah 44).

God himself has offered his Son(the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world), the um blemish sacrifice on behalf of humanity. The true God does not accept any animal or bird etc sacrifices, period. Any such practice, is NOT of God.

Communities have to seek men of God concerning such spiritual practices and ask for advice, because the Holy One of Israel is watching closely.

Mahama does not respect the Fantis. Why does the Fantis even vote for these fools. He would not snub the Asantehene because he respects the Ashantis. This pepenyi is a jackass.
