WHEN THE NPP WON, WE SAW THEIR TRUE COLOR. WHAT THEY DID TO OTHER TRIBES IN GHANA, AND IN, THE ARMY WAS UNSPECTABLE. THEY IMPRISONED THE NDC GUYS.
THEY SEIZED THE AIRWAYS AND FLOODED IT WITH IMMORAL AND LOOSE TALKS. THEY SHARED THE COUNTRY’S BUSINESSES AMONG THEMSELVES. MADE THEIR SONS RICH, AND SHARED THE ACCRA AND GOVERNMENT LANDS.
THE COUNTRY WAS UNSECURED. WE WERE INTIMIDATED BY ARM ROBBERS EVERYDAY. CORRUPTION THE ORDER OF THE DAY. YET THE NPP IN THEIR STUPIDITY THOUGHT GHANAINS LOVED THEM, UNTIL THE TRUTH LANDED ON THEM THE VOTING DAY; WITH ALL THEIR MACHINERY THEY LOST X2.
NOW THE NPP SAYS GHANA WILL NOT SEE PEACE. EVERY NORTHNER HAS BEEN LABELED TANI ABOA. HATERED FOR NORTHERNERS, EWES, AND EVEN GAS BECAME THE NPP’S BUSINESS OF THE DAY. NO RESPECT FOR OTHER TRIBES. IT GOT THE OTHER TRIBES MAD.
NOW THAT THEY CAN SMELL AND SEE FIRE, THEY CALLING FOR PEACE. WE WILL EXCHANGE LOVE FOR LOVE PEACE FOR PEACE. i NEVER HAD TIME FOR THESE COMMENTS UNTIL I WAS READING FROM THAT REFUGEE CALL SARPON :THESE FOOLS DON'T KNOW THEY ARE ONLY HURTING THE NPP.

THE ETHNIC IMBROGLIO IN GHANA: THE ORIGINS, PART 1
The tribal imbroglio, rather than starting in recent times, has been brewing for a long, long while now. In fact, the roots of the prejudices and the insults we see some raining on others date back to pre-colonial times. So, any attempt to understand the worrying phenomenon must address the canker from that era. That is what I intend to do, with special focus on the apparent cleavage between Ewes and Akans (and any others). But now, I’d begin with the colonial times. When you hear the cry of lamentation:
Dza le le leeeeeee!
Me zu kluvi
The road to Kontsiabu
Strewn with gold dusts.
Only those without
in their eyes gold dusts
felt the pangs of hunger and thirst…
then you’d know that the time to narrate the doleful tales of the pre-colonial era, where it all began, has arrived; but you’d get a glimpse now.
Not to waste time apportioning blame, the Akans (and Gas, if I may add them), started these tribal abuse and attacks on Ewes many decades ago; nay, centuries back, as I said earlier. But as mentioned above, I won't delve as yet into the pre-colonial times when it was free for all, with even some Ewe states joining in marauding and plundering other Ewe states for the slave markets of the Gold Coast. I had indeed provided a write up on that sordid era on Ghanaweb’s SIL in the 1990s, which is available. One German businessman with biz connections to Ghana who used to read the nonsense on SIL wrote a private mail to me saying that he was always wondering why Africans sold each other into slavery to Europeans and Arabs; reading my detailed historical account enlightened him on how and why it happened for the first time. That story must be re-told all over Africa in other to understand the roots of the conflicts that bedevilled the continent after independence.
In Ghana, the colonial times modern version started after the WW1 when Anlo, Tongu and Peki migrants from within the Gold Coast and those from the newly acquired TVT from the Germans started moving to the Akan and Ga areas to either fish, farm or seek paid employment. Ewes from Togo and Benin Republic (Dahomey) escaping from French repressive rule came later. Some Ewes, esp. the educated ones, also got jobs with the commercial houses and the colonial administration. Some, such as Gbedema and Nkulenu, started their own private businesses. Soon, they were becoming prosperous in their chosen fields and/or rising up in the ranks wherever they were employed due to the usual hard working nature of most migrants. After all, the far superior German missionary vocational educational set up, compared to the British, had equipped them much better with skills in the crafts and building, such as carpentry and masonry, which were in much demand by the colonial authority and the other natives of the Gold Coast and Asante. That was when trouble began and the attacks started, as far back as the 1930s.
Below is a brief quote from S. Greene about how the Fantes started perceiving Anlo-Ewe fisher folk; a perception or prejudice which is not much different from what permeates the Akan ethnic group as a whole up to today (not only a few bigots on Ghanaweb). Ewes find out to our chagrin or amusement, often as a kid, that that was how our fellow country men and women perceive us. The encounter is therefore a personal story too.
Not much has changed in the prejudiced minds of too many Akans, as we daily witness on Ghanaweb, even though many too have developed over the years an obsession or desire to marry Ewe girls, failure which often brought in its wake stories of tribalism heaped against Ewes. As I told some Akan teacher colleagues in Nigeria, it was the scary and “irrational” Akan “wofa” (uncle) inheritance system, stupid! Horrible stories of how Ewe widows were in particular dispossessed and treated shabbily were enough to dissuade any idea of marriage to even a most love besotted Akan man! It is no wonder that, with the interstate law of inheritance in place, marriage to Akan men has been on the increase.
I know an Ewe from the Peki area who swore that it’d never be possible to change the jaundiced perception of Akans of Ewes from his own experiences attending Mpraeso Teacher Training College, and then teaching at Mpraeso and in Kumasi. He said one particular woman - a cook in the school - they used to go to church with wouldn’t believe that he did not have any “akpeledzi” under their bed! I said it was possible and gave an example of my own experiences in Nigeria. I managed to convince my fellow Akan teachers that I don’t indulge nor believe in those things - juju or voodoo or even any god (white or black), and wouldn’t drink “ogogoro” with them – when there is original Gordon’s gin and lime cordial to have – and they somehow lost some “respect”, (or was it fear?) for me. They’d say I wasn’t a proper Anloman and fool around with me!
Between 1982-4, when their Anti-Ewe diatribes had reached fever point and they were advocating massacring Ewes as done to the Ibos in Nigeria who they claimed were also allegedly dominating Nigeria in the 1960s, I thought of putting some fear into them by creating some “kporsi” (“see-and-run”) to scare them. Fact is, practically every smart Ewe knows how to scare Akans and Gas even though they don’t have “foko” (anything), as we say in Anlo but I will keep that out of this write up. Good I didn’t do so, otherwise they’d be giving testimonies up to today about what an Anlo teacher did to them in Nigeria – they’d have packed out and run from their rooms on the ground floor of the storey building we were hiring. I “protected” myself practically by chocking the door handle with a chair, as I had seen in movies, before I went to bed, in order to prevent them from making me the first casualty of their let-us-kill-Ewes mania! Funny some of them even became staunch PNDC supporters, only to change their minds again years later when I met some on a visit to Ghana.
Anyway, enough with the digression into the personal narrative and to Sandra Greene.
From p.148 of Sandra Greene I quote:
"Increased Anlo identification with their northern Ewe-speaking neighbours may have also been enhanced by the experience many had while participating in migrant fishing. After World War I, numerous groups of Anlo men and women traveled to other coastal areas, including the Fante area of the Gold Coast, in order to pursue their commercial fishing activities. For many, this was probably the first time they had traveled outside their home area, and/or to a district where they were a distinct linguistic minority. In these locations, they conducted themselves as they had in their own home villages, but those among whom they come to live - often temporarily, just for the fishing season - came to view the Anlos' prosperity with jealousy and suspicion. Stories circulated that associated the Anlo with "blood-curdling" crimes. R.W. Wyllie indicates, for example, that from at least the 1930s "Fanti [children] learned to view the Anlos as thieves, kidnappers, sorcerers, and ritual murderers." The social tensions that accompany these beliefs - and the very fact that these beliefs were held by a non-Ewe speaking people - must have heightened the Anlo's awareness of their linguistic and cultural background and generated some sense of identification with their Ewe-speaking peoples whom they would have encountered in the Gold Coast."
The encounter with the Gold Coasters was enough to turn any Ewe into a paranoid schizophrenic, developed a siege mentality (become “inward-looking”?) and very resentful towards any idea of union with the Gold Coast, not to mention marry an Akan.
As some of you know, the Anlo area through Tongu to the Peki area had been part of the Gold Coast colony proper, effectively from 1874 though the British “bought” and claimed the area from the Danes in 1850; hence the freedom to move to other parts of the Gold Coast and Asante later. Besides, many southern Ewes are descendants of Ga-Adangbe, Elmina and Denkyira fugitives dating back respectively to 1687 when the Akwamus first thrashed the Gas for cutting the “bolobolo” (foreskin) of their prince sent to the Ga Mantse Okai Koi’s court to understudy courtship, and 1700, when the Asantes defeated the Denkyiras and took over Elmina from the Denkyiras. Going back to Ge (Accra) and Sima (Shama) with their new kinsmen was just like returning to the ancestors' land. In fact, it was the descendants of those fugitives who were the first migrants, having maintained links with their ancestral lands during their long period in exile. Reindorf had written about that back and forth movement among the Ga fugitives long ago. That’s how Osu-Anecho came to be founded and how all Ewes got the derogatory epithet “Ayigbe” (Ayi refuse), whether they were descendants of fugitives or not. The “dzulor” bit the Gas added originally referred to the Okai Koi stool regalia which the Ga-Ewes in Togo refused to return to Accra and still claim to be its protectors. Remember the trips with pre-colonial undertones their chiefs made to Ghana when the NPP took over power in 2000?
We read from the December 6, 1919 edition of the West Africa magazine a letter sent to the colonial government of the Gold Coast:
“We PEOPLE of Togoland, descended from two principal countries, Elmina
(Ane) and Accra (Ge), both of the Gold Coast Colony, ask to have British government because it is the government of our fathers, whose customs are our customs, and a British Colony is half-an-hour distant from us.
We ask to have British government because it is the government of our kith and kin, our race and our tribe.
We ask for British government because of our relationship with our people on the west, which must assert itself..” (culled from West Africa 12-16 Dec. 1994)
And so on it went. I can make long comments on the above quotes but suffice it to say that it was the beginning and end of the love affair which started as unification with the Gold Coast movement ending up as the drive to secede from the Gold Coast.
One may wonder why the petitioners did not even acknowledge the Ewes, Dagombas, Konkombas, Akans and the host of other ethnic and tribal groups in Togo who also have their “kith and kin” within the Gold Coast and the Northern Territories. I guess this piece of history may come as a surprise to the ingrates who make a living of always reminding us that Ewes come from Togo, some of whom carried a video to Lome to trace the roots of Fiifii Kwetey there, instead of doing so in Accra; better still, Ayawaso! Well, he said he was from Nogokpo, which rubbed a sore spot for me, but that’s another, story.
THE EWE BACKLASH
By the 1940s, Ewes, Anlos in particular, in the Gold Coast had had enough of the vilification and undeserved demonisation their successes were arousing. The returnee Anes and Ges (Gas), now fused as the Genyi, as Anlos refer to them, through intermarriages, also soon discovered that they were not welcome, or often welcomed with shouts of “Ayigbe dzulor”! Disenchantment set in and secession from Ghana became a far better option. The result was the 1956 plebiscite and the rest is history.
Then come the post Feb 24 1966 coup era, when Busia and his PP turned this traditional vilification of Ewes into a political tool to win the 1969 general elections. It was preceded by an internal struggle within the NLC to share the spoils of office after the coup, which increasingly took an ethnic tone. My own father was a sacrificial victim. An extended quote from Dennis Austin, that great chronicler of Ghana history, captures the gist of it, so here we go:
“A surprising and disagreeable novelty of the election was the extraordinary anti-Ewe sentiment that was express1ed in conversation with many of those who were against Gbedemah and his party. One can explain this strong animus not simply by a dislike of Gbedema’s reappearance in political life but in relations to events after the 1966 coup. Suddenly there were the soldiers and the police, and everyone burst out singing, but when the music died down away it was noticed that the NLC (it seemed) was commanded by minorities: Ewe and Ga. When Ankrah (a Ga), was moved out, and charges were brought over-hastily by Harlley against the Chief of Defence Staff, Michael Otu, the evidence to many was overwhelming. It was all an Ewe plot. Soon Ghana would be run for the benefit of an energetic minority, operating first within the armed forces, and now behind Gbedemah. ‘Appoint an Ewe to a public corporation or to a government department and within a year the entire hierarchy down to the messenger will be an Ewe.’ So the argument ran. And there was always some evidence for it, since the Ewe, deprived of any natural wealth in their own barren region, have been energetic in seizing the opportunities of public employment, including positions in the army and the police, which wealthier communities (like the Akan) did not wish to occupy. In practice, looking through the list of senior officers in government department and the public corporations, the evidence is certainly not clear of any Ewe domination: it could hardly be in view of their number. But a belief does not, of course, have to be true before people hold it fervently.
Now there is an Akan-dominated government of an Akan dominated society. Were I to become, by some improbable chance of fate, leader of the governing party I would be much less apprehensive of my Ewe opponents in front than of the large and expectant following behind. I would be fearful too of the ambitions of those now excluded from power, remembering the Songs of Innocence that:
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caeser’s laurel crown” (D. Austin 1976:125)
Austin was writing with hindsight about what befell Busia’s regime, overthrown in a coup led by an Asante.
The interested reader is referred to the link on the Internet to read an extended abstract of the book in order to get a fuller understanding of the ethnic imbroglio in Ghana and so be able to compare events from then and now and subsequent analysis.

In Part 2, I intend to examine the hate campaign against the Ewes and the consequences or reactions from the 1970s which led to Kofi Awoonor’s infamous prison book, The Ghana Revolution, which he claimed he wrote in prison when gaoled for helping Brig. Kattah to escape from Ghana. It’d be necessary to focus on the Ghana Army, from its origins and recruitment trends since it is at the crux of the matter.

You started so well but ended wrongly doing the same thing that is killing all Ghanaians of both the NDC and the NPP.
"The National Democratic Congress (NDC) party in its quest for power has succeeded in defining the opposition National Patriotic Party (NPP) as an Akan party and therefore the NDC as the party for all non-Akans."
1. Where were you when Adu Boahen stood on a plat form and said Ye gye yen Mang? As if those of the Opposition are not Ghanaians.
2. Where were you when Nana said Yen Akanfo instead of saying Yen NPP Fuo? What of the Non Akans in the NPP?
3. Where were you when Ken Agyepong called for the killing of Ewes and Gas because of one foolish Ga man Nii Lantey's actions?
4 Where were you when Ursula Owusu said to an NDC man of Northnern extraction that if not for free education he would have been a Goat herder like all Northners?
NPP is its worse enemy, the party is currently populated with too many old stone age thinking ppl who cannot tolerate anything different from theirs been it culture, Language, or opposite political views.
To solve this problem we need to be fair and remove the log from our eyes before helping our neighbors.

Let me give you a good advice. Feel proud of who you are and this feeling of Asantes superiority complex will not affect you. The problem you have is not because Asantes feel superior but you have inferiority complex.

Kari,
You are right even though you had waited to make your views known only now, as it wasn't Northerners who were under attack for many decades until now. You see what sitting on the fence thinking that it doesn't concern you can do to you? Even those Akans writing for peace now behaved like you - they remained silent! Now that the shit is hitting the fan, they don't like their nice dresses being soiled as well! But the evil genie is out of the bottle already. It'd take more than these appeals to get it back into the bottle. It must be exorcised! Check one of my initial efforts in that direction below.

As for we in Volta, we have always known that the typical Asanti, no matter what level of education thinks backwards and erroneously feel that Ewes, Northerners, Gas, Krobos, Adas and in fact anybody who is not an Akan is an animal who deserves to be described with derogative names. Also, I believe that even though brothers fight most often and sisters always argue yet there is no place in modern life for a whole tribe to be so exclusively disrespectful to their human brothers. As a young Ewe man, I was brought up to respect all people and to hold high other peoples' faith and religion. Who said that all Akan are disrespectful? No! I understand that many Akans are much civilised people who you will gladly want to emulate.
For instance, as a PHD student, I started my primary school life in Cape Coast living with the lovely and civilised Fantis until I was twenty. I speak pure, fluent and integrated Fanti far beyond what a Fanti lecturer would expect of a non-Fanti. Equally, I spent several years in Akropong living with the equally civilised and all embracing Akwapims. Never did I know that there are these uncivilised Ashanti people who can be so backward and retrenched to the extent that a complex combination of ignorance and idiosyncratic perceptions make them see other Ghanaians as either animals or some sort of slaves. I quite agree with this writer in many ways. However, I strongly believe that only law derived from tradition and cultural framework can provide the right answer to this problem. I believe that this government; more than any past Ghanaian governments is best positioned to promote the best Equal Opportunities Legislation to address the problem.

Have you been accused before as being a tribalistic? Such an idiot like you will soon call yourself PhD holder but look at how you perceive a whole tribe. Are you saying you don't have Ewe ethnocentrics and tribalists? All Ewes are Angels and Asantes are Satan's from your deranged perspective and you are not even ashamed talking about your pull him down(PhD) studies.
Anybody with an ounce of brain can tell you that you feel inadequate in the presence of Asantes. There are a lot of Ewes who have lived all or most of their lives in Ashanti region with Asantes and will not agree with your ethnocentric perception of Asantes. There have been a lot of intermarriages between the two tribes maybe you have been living in a Hamlet somewhere your perception is influenced by your own ethnocentricism.
You are a disgrace to the school that will award a PhD to such a fool
All tribes in Ghana have derogatory names they call others. Ewes have a derogatory name they use for Asantes likewise Asantes call other tribes names. There are good and bad people from every tribe, don't let that escape you. Asantes have confidence about themselves and that rubs people like you the wrong way but you have to deal with your own insecurities.
Ewes like KOFI Awonoor have even written books propagating their hateful nature against Asantes but we Asantes don't give a damn because that is Awonoor's problem.

Gosh! Who is more insecured than the one who makes a fetish of drawing up lists of pple from other ethnic groups who they claimed are taking all the plomb govt jobs and enjoying all the booties, even though these are patently false????
Who is more insecured than the people who goes around claiming all the govt scholarships have been given to the members of one ethnic group over a certain period, even though this is patently false????
Who is more insecure than people who won't accept govt appointments in the VR 'cos they are irrationally scared to death of death, whereas people from the VR are found in the remotest depths of their forests plying their trades to earn a living and send their kids to school and build houses back home??? Of course, the few bold ones who ventured to go never wanted to live again and regale you with tales of nostalgia about the good times they had in the VR, and their greatst regret in life being not able to marry their beloved Ewe girl!

What jobs are in Trokosiland that Asantes have refused postings to? Your Trokosi foul smelling brothers are in the remorest areas of the place you idiot called bush because they chose to go there for farm labour jobs.
You can try all kinds of rewriting your trokosi history and it will not change what has been recorded when it happened. You fool told the whole forum that the Akans in Volta region were the Akans who were captured when Asantes invaded Volta region and your stupid and illiterate trokosis like Kola and others were waving pompoms so you think you have unlocked some secrets but people like me and others know how ridiculous you are. If those people in Jasikan and Nkwanta are remnants of the Asnate Ewe war, how comethey pay homage and swear to Asantehene and not your Awomefia? How did Kumawuhene become the owner of the Afram plains lands that used to be part of Volta region?
Continue to tell your 'toli' to the TROKOSI low lifers because every Ghanaian know which tribe in Ghana earns their living doing menial jobs in Ashanti and other Akan regions.

Your high decibel raving and foaming at your mouth clearly displayed the severe stress under which you are, and I haven't even really started my onslaught on you ignorant morons yet.
Let me clear some distortions for you. But first, you can see my pic on the Internet and compare yourself to me to see who comes out looking better in all aspects of being a human being! Just google for One Ghana One Voice poetry website and you'd see me there, Andy Kwawukume.
Yes, those Ewes are there cos they are not scared of you Asantes or any Akan. They are adventurous and pioneers in opening up new territory. From the Congo to the Senegal, where there is fish to catch or opps, you'd find Ewes decades ago back to colonial times! They even opened up the Afram Plains, after it was depleted of population for the slave markets by you Akans and abandoned for a long time as no man's land. And to your information, the Afram Plains isn't originally Ewe territory but no doubt a Guan land. That king, portrayed as a tyrant, the Kumawu people defeated to gain control over the area was not an Ewe king.
Secondly, the area where the Akans are presently residing in the VR is not Ewe territory either, as it is more under the jurisdiction of Buem and the people of Buem are not Ewes either. The Akans started coming there way back in the C17th but the largest in migration came in the C18th with the rise and expansion of Asante, which gained control over those areas. Akwamu gained control over northern Eweland, referred to then as Krepi or Kreepee by the Europeans. By the time of the Sagrenti War, I think it was the Bekwaihene which had jurisdiction over the part of the VR controlled by the Asantes and the Bekwais were openly in rebellion against Kumasi again! Of course, that didn't stop the victories parties from attacking those areas too. Had it not been due to the disciplined control of the British, there would have been a worse ethnic cleansing compared to what happened. In any case, I understand some displaced Akans founded Worawora, for instance. You see, that's an elementary history anyone from those parts can tell you about. If anything at all, they should be swearing allegiance to the chief of Buem, as the landlord.
Me, I am an Anlo, and it'd interest you to know that the Anlos fought on the side of the Asantes during the Sagrenti War. The peace treaty was signed at Dzelukope and my great great grandfather was there in prime position, with an umbrella over him! The Asante Ambassador Pobee was there too. Send me your e-mail and I'd send you an A3 sketch of the meeting in The Graphic of Oct 1874. Theterms clearly forbid the Asantehene from claiming jurisdiction over those areas and what is happening is a gross anomaly which must be addressed.I am determined to tell the truth about the past, ugly as it were. You blokes are so ignorant it is just amazing what oral history your parents even pass on to you!
When I am finished with you on cyberspace, I'd lead the people of Tokon and Wusuta for their compensation in the promised gold dust and reparations in gold bullions for what happened to them and the people of "Krepi". Since we Anlos don't have gold to pay reparations, I am doing penitence by providing free legal aid and campaign power! Huh! They are wondering what I was writing about, but don't worry, if you ignorant parents can't tell you, and your historians are to ashamed to tell you or publicly admit it, I shall! Brace yourselves up, you mentally warped jerks!

Man Fathers 9 Kids With Daughter, Pleads For Forgiveness
Agbofa Yao Hateka, the 47-year-old fetish priest who fathered nine kids with daughter has pleaded with a Sogakope circuit court to forgive him his sins as he would not do it again.
He has so far made two appearances in the Sogakokpe Circuit Court for having nine children with his daughter, four of whom were dead.
Agbofa Yao Hateka was in the Sogakope court on 12th and 13th July charged with incest. According to the prosecutor, inspector Emmanuel Atsor, the case was reported to the Dabala Police by a certain Torgbey Sekpetey II, chief of Ashagborkope, who is also a tax collector. The complainant told the police on June 7th 2012 that the accused was married to his biological daughter, Baby Hateka with whom he has nine kids. Yao Hateka allegedly impregnated Baby and subsequently had eight other children with her. Out of the lot, there were now five kids aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half old. During the interrogation however, Baby Hateka told the police she had eight other children with her father out of which three died, contradicting the accused person’s narration that he had only a two year old baby with his daughter.
The accused would not allow anybody to intervene as he allegedly threatened people with death if they meddled in his sexual relationship with his daughter. He allegedly threatened to invoke the spirit of his gods to deal with meddlers. The accused told the court that he was both a farmer and a fisherman, although the prosecution witness claimed he was unemployed. Before his arrest, the accused told the police that his daughter suffered from sickle cell anaemia, and had come to stay with him from a cocoa-growing area. Torgbey Sekpetey II had earlier fined the accused a fowl so his daughter could be cleansed before reporting the matter to the police. The case has been adjourned to 20th July 2012 for judgement.**
July 5, 2012 8:42:51 AM Drama In Court As Carpenter Gets 10 Years For Incest
Date: 27-Jan-2012
A 40-year-old welder; Emmanuel Kwesi Yevu, who is accused of defiling his 13-year-old daughter blamed his action on “juju,” (magic) when he made his second appearance before a Circuit Court in Accra.
Yevu told the court that somebody had cast a spell on him because he was getting more customers in his carpentry business.
When the court asked why he defiled his daughter, Yevu said: “My Lord the thing came on me in a spiritual form. I sometimes dream that I am sleeping with my late wife. I took in some alcohol on the day in question before going to bed. I detected that my daughter had placed her legs on mine and I mistook her to be that of my late wife and I defiled her.”
This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

Felix Torgbor, the 45-year-old mason who fathered a child with his own daughter.
A 45 year old mason has been arrested in Accra for forcibly having an affair with his daughter and subsequently, having a baby with her.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?”
These are the shocking words of Felix Torgbor, a 45-year-old mason from La, who was caught by his wife having sex with his 19-year-old daughter.
Apparently, Torgbor began having sex with his daughter when she was only 16 years old; broke her virginity and subsequently had a child with her. He is now in the grips of the Odorkor Police in Accra.
Torgbor’s three-year-old sexual affair finally came to an end when his wife caught him red-handed making love to his daughter in an uncompleted building on the dawn of Saturday August 15, at Russia, a suburb of Accra.
Salamatu, Torgbor’s wife, told DAILY GUIDE that she wakes up very early in the morning, goes to work and returns at 7:00pm.
On that fateful day, she returned from visiting her sister at about 10:00pm on Friday night. She called her husband to join her watch an African movie shown on TV, but he declined and kept moving up and down.
She then began wondering what was making her husband so jittery.
According to her, the TV station closed down around 12:00 midnight, so she went to bed.
At about 12:45am, she woke up to realize that her husband and daughter were not in bed so she went out in search of them.
Salamatu indicated that her husband is putting up a building which is just a distance from the family house where they live, so she had a strong urge to go there to search for them.
When she got there, she saw that her step-daughter had laid a piece of cloth on the floor of one of the rooms and she saw a man lying on top of her.
She yelled and held unto the man only to realize it was her husband who was moaning and groaning on top of his own daughter.
Salamatu said she could not believe that this abominable act was going on right under her nose for the past three years.
When she demanded answers from her husband, he called her a stupid woman.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?” he asked, threatening to beat her up if she shouted.
Salamatu says she raised an alarm, drawing people to the scene.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, District Crime Officer (DCO), DSP Bafour Appenteng said the affair between father and daughter started somewhere in 2006 when she was dressing after bathing.
Narrating the sequence of events, the DCO said it started when the grandmother of the victim observed that her pubic hair had not been shaved. She questioned the teenager who replied that she was scared the razor blade might harm her.
Her grandmother, thereafter, sent her to buy a razor blade so she could shave the hair off, but by the time she got back, her grandmother was asleep.
On reaching home, her father, who was then eavesdropping on the conversation, asked what she was going to use the razor blade for.
She explained what the grandmother had said.
Torgbor then insisted on shaving his daughter’s pubic hair, in spite of her resistance.
According to the victim, her father laid her on his matrimonial bed and shaved her pubic hair after which he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.
No amount of pleading could stop Torgbor from carrying out his intentions, and he had sex with her on the blind side of his wife, Salamatu Piaga.
The girl emerged from the room in tears and because her legs were wobbling, her aunties, who lived in the same compound house, asked what was wrong and she revealed to them that her father had just had sex with her.
According to the police, the aunties explained that at the time of the incident, the family was bereaved and so they decided to meet on the matter after the burial of their kin but later forgot all about it, and even though Salamatu was informed about the incident, she chose not to pursue it.
When she quizzed her husband about the incident, he got mad and subjected the child to severe beatings, saying that she wanted to disgrace him.
Later, when the girl turned 17, she got pregnant and left to stay with her biological mother at Osu because her father was furious, claiming his daughter had a boyfriend and subjected her to severe beatings, even though she was pregnant for him at the time.
At Osu, she reported the incident to WAJU but her mother, who did not believe her claims, abandoned the case after receiving a police medical form.
When the teenager gave birth in April last year, her stepmother, Salamatu, went for her from the Ridge Hospital where she delivered a baby girl and brought her back to her father’s house with the intention of caring for her and the baby.
The Crime Officer said when the baby was nine months old, Torgbor, who was eager to re-ignite his sexual relationship with his biological daughter, forced her to stop breast-feeding the baby, which she did.
They continued with the affair until the dawn of Saturday August 15, 2009 when Salamatu grabbed the two seriously making love.
Subsequently, Salamatu packed her belongings out of the house but did not report the matter to the police until her husband was arrested on August 18, 2009, by the Odorkor police who invited her to write her statement.
The victim, who was cuddling her daughter when she spoke to DAILY GUIDE on Thursday, confirmed that the baby, an exact replica of Torgbor, was indeed her father’s daughter.
She told DAILYGUIDE she wishes her father would be kept in jail forever.
Ho, May 13, GNA - Daniel Gadzeti, a carpenter, was sentenced to five years imprisonment by a Ho circuit court on Tuesday for being in an incestuous relationship with his 19-year-old daughter Mabel Gadzeti, a seamstress apprentice.
Mr Frank Owusu Afriyie, the presiding judge, deferred sentence on Mabel Gadzeti until after medical tests for pregnancy and sex related diseases.
Mr Afriyie described the conduct of Gadzeti, a father of four, as "very irresponsible". Deputy Superintendent of Police Kwadwo Nkansah told the court that Gadzeti, who was staying at Nkonya-Ntumda, invited his daughter who was staying with her mother at Nkonya-Tayi to come over and stay with him. He said Gadzeti the n started having sexual intercourse with his daughter. Mr Nkansah said a friend of Gadzeti once visited him and saw him (Gadzeti) and his (Gadzeti's) daughter bathing together and asked him if he was having sexual relationship with her. He said Gadzeti took offence and reported the matter to the chief of Nkonya-Ntumda who summoned the friend before the traditional court which fined him to compensate Gadzeti because the friend had no evidence to support his case. About a year later Gadzeti confessed his incestuous relationship to his uncle, a catechist, and expressed his desire to perform customary rites to marry her and make her his second wife in addition to her mother.
He said Gadzeti's uncle informed the chief of the town and Gadzeti's wife and daughter were summoned before the chief and elders of the town. A fine was imposed on Gadzeti and his daughter which they paid. He said a few days later, information about their relationship got to the police leading to their arrest.Source:

Man Jailed For Impregnating Daughter
An Accra High Court has sentenced Mr Anthony Bleworda to five (5) years imprisonment for having sex with her daughter since she was 16 years old and fathering with her five children, three of whom have since died. Mr Bleworda admitted that he had a strong urge to sleep with his own 16-year-old daughter the first day he saw her after several year’s sojourn abroad.
The daughter, identified as Matilda Bleworda, who is now in her mid twenties, is reported to have later developed mental health problems. Speaking to Peace FM and the Domestic Violence And Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), Matilda disclosed that she willingly gave in to his father’s sexual advances the first day she saw him because her father enticed her with lots of money, but the subsequent encounters were all against her will. An earlier medical report had revealed that Matilda had indeed developed mental problems. She however stressed to Peace FM in an interview that she has now been completely cured.
She added that she did not know in the beginning that Mr. Bleworda was her real father. She believed instead that her grandfather whom she had known since her infancy was. According to her she asked the father to stop sleeping with her but he refused, claiming she was married to him by virtue of their having children together.
In an interview with Peacefmonline, the spokesperson for DOVVSU, Inspector Irene Oppong confirmed that Mr Bleworda has been sentenced for 5 years imprisonment. In answer to querries about why the seemingly minimal nature of the punishment, Inspector Oppong said the court took into account the girl’s admission that she was 16 years old when her father first slept with her and also that she consented to the act for which reason he couldn’t be charged with rape.
She explained that the stipulated sentencing range for incest for which Mr. Bleworda was found guilty is between 3 to 25 years. She explained that it took the court this long to dispose of the case because the man was having health issues midway into his prosecution. Peace FM managed to secure a major scoop and broke the scandal to a horrified country in September of last year.

This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

A 47-year-old farmer who fathered five children with his biological daughter is in the grips of the law.
Yao Hatekah impregnated his daughter, known as Baby, when she was 11 years old and subsequently had children aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half-old with her.
Hatekah, who pleaded guilty to the charge of incest on June 20, 2012, changed his plea to not guilty when he reappeared before the Sogakope Circuit Court Wednesday.
According to him, he had one child with his daughter and was not responsible for her other children.
The court, subsequently, remanded him to reappear on July 12, 2012.
Prosecuting, Inspector Emmanuel Atsor of the Sogakope Police told the court that Hatekah began having an affair with his daughter after his wife died.
His alleged incestuous act was brought to the attention of the police by the Chief of Gonu Ashiagborkorpe, near Dabala in the South Tongu District in the Volta Region, TorgbeSekpetey II.
It said the residents of the community had known of Hatekah’s incestuous act all these years but were afraid of him because of his threat to kill anybody who dared to criticise him.**

Your piece is inciteful and well written. Politicians without ideas reort to tribal politics to ascend to power. Haruna Idrisu knew what he was doing when he posed that tribally divisive question. In the US, the republicans used the ethnic and the welfare card for a while before they ran out of steam. Unfortunately, tribal politics is explosive and unless it is condemned strongly, Ghana may come apart.

Nana, I support your call for national unity and celebrating our ethnic diversity. The only thing is that in your first paragraph you made an error by 'accusing' the NDC of characterising the NPP as an "Akan Party". In fact many neutral observers will argue that the NPP has made itself appear that way to the Ghanaian public, not the NDC. They, the NPP have a lot to do to change that image for their own good and the good of our democracy.

Hi Paul,
The only comment I wanted to make is what you had already made but I want to make it more forcefully.
It was the NPP that made themselves out as an Akan party, opposed to an Ewe party since its formation. The NDC failed woefully to respond to that tribalistic campaigning of the NPP while in power up to 2000. In opposition, they started responding slowly to that, taking a cue from their supporters and independents like me in cyberspace, and gradually warmed up to the idea of attacking the NPP as an Akan dominated and chauvinistic party, which of course, is the truth. That's what must be DEALT with!
I shall post my article to support this assessment of the emergence of ethnic politics in Ghana since the 1960s.

Kokoase people? Do you know the meaning of what you are saying? Simply put - kokoase means the origin of cocoa. Has cocoa been a curse to the Ghana economy? No indeed! That has been the main foreign exchange earner for years. Most Ghanaians have directly benefitted from the proceeds of the cocoa in their education. Moreover outer appearances are deceptive. Mere men sees what appeals to the eyes but the heart condition is what matters (read 1 Samuel chapter 16 verse 7 and read about God's thought. The ethnic diversity enriches Ghana. We used to live side by side without open criticism of one's ethnicity. Something really has gone wrong with Nkrumah's Ghana. Divided we fall, united we stand.

You people are csick. What do you mean by they do not respect other tribes? All other tribes have names they call Akans sopecifically Asantes but Asantes don't allow themselves to be affected. The so called they don't respect other tribes is the inferiority comples you low lifes feel. Asantes have never claimed to be superior to any tribe but they are proud of who they are and that riles the other tribes the wrong way.
We will rather stay in opposition and go about our business without compromising the people we are by begging you for votes. We can survive in any regime. We did well under Nkrumah, we survive Rawlings brutal rule unscathed and we will survive this Mahama clueless government.

Research has found out that it's difficult to introduce democracy to a society whose citizens are too poor.Issues like tribalism,nepotism,corruption etc often crop up as a results of the state inability to meet the people's need.It's for these reasons that's why countries like Russia and China are not in a hurry to introduce multi party democracy to their people.Multi democracy even though may be the best way of governance,we need not rush in imposing it on states.May be that's the reason why people like Arap Moi objected to it in the 80's when he said democracy would bring tribalism.

As a nation we are less than 60 years old. Nkrumah preached and practised inclusiveness as evidenced by his political appointments from all parts of the country. You can argue that his own region (Western) was disadvantaged most. The last two governments(Kuffuor and Mills) have seen tribal and regional biases. The present one is no different. The politicians and their visionless spokesperson are the major cause of tribal tensions in Ghana. We should all condemn them.
Thank God we continue to integrate at the personal and community levels. We have the advantage of the boarding school system, inter-tribal marriages, small population and religious tolerance.
We should not allow these young, inexperienced politicians ruin our progress.

Thanks Nana Owusu-Nkwantabisa. Your call for a ceasefire in the inter-tribal diatribe and hate mongering is well timed and in order. The ugly noises had gotten increasingly and unnecessarily louder and there appeared to be no end in sight any time soon.
Unknown to most ghanaians the politicians thrive when they manage to sow seeds of discord among the various tribal divisions. They know they can't win elections nationally on their own merit and strength so it's politically correct and suits their own self-centered ambitions to knock heads together.It's called the divide and conquer policy. The european colonialists used this policy ad nauseam and effectively too when they realized the colonization dreams would turn into worst nightmares if the various tribes united to fight back. This is the legacy bequeathed to us by the colonialists and we're using it to tear each oither and the nation down.
The recent sudden upsurge in the love hate dichotomy and in the inter tribe bashing and hate mongering is as a result of the rise in the number of mediocre politicians whose only desire for public office is the trappings of wealth and power the office brings.
We will never become an economic powerhouse if we are so sorely divided. "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand."(Matthew 12:25) These were the words of Jesus over 2000 years ago and they are still true today. Unity makes us strong together. It ushers in peace and stability which is the fertile ground for growth and development.
It does not matter who started it. What matters most is who is going to end it, and how soon we're going to realize the destructive and destabilising potentials of our idiocy.
The first duty of any sitting president is to unite the nation.This can be achieved by enacting anti discrimination laws and ensuring there's equal justice,equal rights and equal opportunities for everyone regardless of who they're and where they come from based on the concept that all men were born equal with the same inalienable rights. We should recognize and reward hardwork and eschew nepotism, cronyism and corruption. If we become one nation, one peo[ple, one destiny again then our nation will prosper.
