How are you going to die since there is no difference between you and Awoonor, Kpega and Co?
NPP members who are mostly sons and daughters of vicious tribalist, angry terrorist, bitter, and extreme litigants simply cannot tolerate differing views of each other let alone those who do not belong to their inner cycle.
You challenge them and they will hate you for life and will pass on the message of hate to their children from generation to generation. They will never give any one a peace of mind as long as things do not go their way.
They will worship with you in the same churches yet once they get out of church the preaching changes from the message of Christ to that of hate. They will pretend they are a peace loving and tolerant Ghanaians but remains more vicious than pit Vipers. Check their articles on Ghana web even when they attack each other, its laced with deadly venom.
They jubilated and celebrated the death of Awoonor because Awoonor was a tribalist yet some of the jubilants such as this writer have been preaching tribal hate for decades on Ghana web. I wonder if they ever ponder over their own fates since the same that befell Awoonor could befall them or a much worse form.
Most of them are in the diaspora and have no love for mother Ghana yet cannot stop disturbing the ears of those who are down there sacrificing and doing their best for mother Ghana.
NPP Party as it stands now needed to be avoided like a plague if you love all Ghanaians. Join them if you are a vicious intolerant tribalist who also believes in bombings. The NDC on the other hand is filled with clueless people but at least more tolerant. I therefore I ask all peace loving Ghanaians to consider voting for the CPP in the next general elections.

Why should we be bedeviled with slimy jerks like this cretin and all of you insulting the memory of Awoonor?
When they are challenged to produce what exactly Awoonor wrote to incur their venomous bile, they skulk away. That has been the case since the 1990s when this issue first cropped up in cyberspace. It was only recently that someone posted the so-called "offending" portions of his book, The Ghana Revolution," on SIL and most people were surprised and started asking whether that was all he wrote. Some were even shocked by the deprecating words in which he described both Kotoka and Harlley, assuming that a person tagged "Ewe tribalist" should be praising those two misguided characters who let out the evil genie Nkrumah had bottled up in the form of the Matemeho supremacists, simply cos they are "Ewe heroes," eh? They asked if he was not right after all, judging from all the anti-Ewe diatribes, demonisation and vilification that preceded the 1969 General Elections, followed by Apollo 586? Now his accusers on SIL are on retreat, having been exposed as ignorant fools who have not even read the book themselves! Kante even called for cease fire but we shall not stop any fire until we have totally routed these evil and dishonest intellectually dishonest and bankrupt jerks.
I read Awoonor's book and the one he specially devoted to Asantes and Ewes as a follow up to the Ghana Revolution. If he were an Akan hater, Asantes in particular, then it should have come clear in that 2nd book. I've more problem with that book than the first. But since he was just full of praises for the Asantes too, elevating them to the top pedestal to lead Ghana to the Promised Land (I am afraid together with Ewes) no Asante or Akan ever mention that book! Or they are too embarrassed to do so? I was when I first read it. Or are they bloody ignorant of its existence? The late Dr Francis Appiah, the grandson of Baffour Akoto of the NLM fame, actually made copies of the two books for me in far away Norway. Luckily, Francis was an educated man unlike some of his kinsfolk. The only objection we both have to Awoonor's analysis of the contest for power in Ghana was that he kept it "Chazan-like" as an ethnic imbroglio b/n Ewes on the one hand and Akans/Asantes on the other; the level which he claimed, in his own words, was "reducing" it into "simple terms" by the opponents to the Ewes he lambasted. So he knew that such a reductionist scenario was simplistic even though that's what we continue to see coming from the opponents of the PNDC/NDC up to today! This Akadu even wrote that ALL ministers were Ewes in order to fall in line with their obtuse logic. Awoonor didn't dwell very much on the complex picture he said it was, focusing more on the persecution and hounding of Ewes particularly by Busia and his PP and the fall outs into the NRC era, which eventually led to his own imprisonment. But that is not enough to draw all the tantrums and false claims which some evil and dubious Akans, particularly some foolish and ignorant Asantes who haven't even read the book, have been making against him! Yes. Almost all didn't even read the book; only distorted hearsay!
As for the accusation of being an Ewe first, I had tackled that on SIL, just as DAWU too. For heaven's sake: the man was born in 1935 when there was no Ghana! In fact, I was also an Ewe first before before Ghana was born. Asantes were not even members of the Gold Coast colony until 1946 when the Burns Const. incorporated; so they could not even claim to be Gold Coasters before 1946! And most Ewes didn't want to be part of the emerging Ghana in 1956 but were dragged in kicking and thrashing. At this very moment, the secessionist movt in the VR is even more active than before. They now even appear on radio talks in the VR and hold meetings openly without fearing arrest, as was even the case under Rawlings. I learned that the former VR Secretary under the PNDC was removed cos he was falsely accused of plotting secession. All this another story but I am just mentioning the fact that there are Ewes who still dream of separating from Ghana. To them, instead of tackling the ethnic abuses and prejudices heaped upon Ewes by fellow Ghanaians, their response is Let Us Separate! Join us to secede. They are finding recruits in young fellas who are much pissed up with their parents and the Ewe elite's failure to deal with the canker of ethnic prejudice and demonisation against Ewes. It is just a matter of time when there will be trouble.
You ignorant evil bastards should leave Awoonor alone to rest in peace. He was a warrior, the Gbonugla of Anlo, and died a warrior's death. As he knew,
"A man's death is never far away, Only a woman's death is far away....
Afor ma de, ma de, dzogbe ma la tsi!"
so the Anlo war song goes. He prepared for his death, and a few days before his untimely death, even told an audience in Nairobi that he wasn't afraid of death! He fought a good fight and we owe it to his memory to continue where he stopped and rout the "enemies".
He lived his life and it was such a large life none of you sods can ever dream of achieving one hundredth of it! His memory shall ever live on in his own words long after your bones are rotten.
I intend to write a full response to all this calumnies against Awoonor soon. I shall take no prisoners, just like he didn't do in his book/s.

You wish people will be envious of you smelly daughter fuckers and child molesters criminals. Even a suooosedly successful Awonoor could not shake off his Trokosi envious attitude toward Akans, especially Asantis by saying, the stupid Rawlings daytime Trokosi robbery he called a revolution was staged to stop Akan, especially the Asantes economic power.

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 “ekpelekpedzi” 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 cordiale 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.

When I was a graduate student at Princeton, in my first year, I visited Bronx where my sister was living in the same apartment complex with Prof Kofi Awoonor. At the time, he was lecturing part time at Columbia and pursuing his final ph.d. dissertation.
What I remember about him is that he would often speak FANTI to my sister encouraging her to be closer to his (Kofi's) wife rather than the other gullible, gossipy Ghanaians in the same complex because he found my sister articulate and educated. I spoke often with him in Fanti and he was full of excitement whenever Ghana came up. Even at that time he did not look that old; I am surprised that he was 78. May he rest in peace - those who knew him up close really considered him classy and he fitted into many Ghanaian ethnic groups and backgrounds because he spoke so many Ghana languages.... it was always difficult to pin him as an Ewe. His English was nothing like an ewe accent!!! He reminded me that part of the Awoonor-Willliams larger family hails from Saltpond in the Central Region, just as the Renners.
Folks - Kofi was no tribalist. He might have been an Ewe nationalist. I found him more Ghanaian than most people; I can say for a fact that he was neither an ewe-phobic nor akan-phobic, if there are such things. He was simply a Ghanaian Nationalist

To those of your generation who don't know, this man lived by the sword and therefore died by the sword! he was full of hatred in his heart for Ashantis and Akans in general and together with the rest of the Dzulakofe mafia (Kojo Tsikata, Tatsu Tsikata and the rest) masterminded the killing of prominent Ashantis like Gen. Afrifa etc. It's the long arm of God's justice that has taken him away. Look at where he fell; far away from home. We shed no tears for a quintinessential tribalist like Kofi Awoonor!
AWOONOR STOOD BESIDE RAWLINGS AND SAID THAT THE AIM OF THE REVOLUTION WAS TO TAKE AWAY AKANS INFLUENSE IN GHANA ESPECIALLY THE ASHANTIS HE GREATELY REJOYCED WHEN RAWLINGS SLAUGHTERED TWO HEADS OF STATES AND SENIOR MILITARY OFFICIALS 90% OF WHOM WERE NON EWES
IN ONE OF HIS WRITINGS HE SAID THAT HE WAS AN EWE FIRST BEFORE GHANA.
LET THE LORD JUDGE HIM!

Awoonor is hanging around the corridors of hell. The marching band of hell is marching to welcome him. He hated Akans too much. I never thought intellectual of his caliber will harbor hatred against ethnic group like that. What caused Kofi Awoonor hatred against Akans. I never knew of his intense hatred against Akans until I read his writings and his pronouncements.
It is very sad indeed. Ghana has a long way to go. If a person like him hated Akans, just ask yourself that what would unschooled,illiterate educated and numerous half-baked Ewe scholars do ? They will kill Akans if Akans cross their path.An architect of revolution of hate against Akans economic power is Kofi Awoonor. Kofi Awoonor, bask in the firs of hell. I am sure you did advise your children ,family members and friends very well not to hate any group of people before you left this world of hatred. May you receive the forgiveness from God Almighty.

I am just reflecting how youe littele Ewe god Kofi Awoonor was determined to destroy Akans economic power. He was not able to destroy even a penny. I was reflecting on the fact that, at times we should those who hate us to God Almighty to deal with them. What home you think Kofi Awoonor is going to ? My friend trokosi, my ass will never bleed. Your satanic revolution has not got a dent on me and my family. We are doing great. We don't hate you Togolese immigrants like you. We shall tell it as it is. Let the rest of Ghanaians know that you Togolese immigrant don't support evil. It does not matter how you and your trokosi grandmothers and fathers have stayed in Ghana. We have few Ghanaian Ewes. The rest of you are Togolese, and it is you Togolese like Rawlings, who are ungrateful and are determined to destroy Akans. Everywhere you show hostility. What sort of people are you?

akadu ntiriwa mensema, you are absolutely the picture and the personification of what you accuse others about. you think and act along tribal line and always perceive the ewes your targets of attack. as such you peddle falsehood, misinformation, maliciousness about the ewes. just read what you have written and posted here!!!. complete tribalistic piece full of falsehood. lts false to say Awoonor ewe first and ghana second. l wish to state here that Awoonor once said that no Ghanaian travels with/on tribal or ethnic passport but on Ghanaian passport, and not, with say ashanti/denkyera/ewe passport. And the issue of name change is not in dispute at all. Awoonor's name change was usual, and what about nana addo's? lf Awoonor has written anything to oppose the 'Akans', these writings were absolutely reactionary to those 'akans' who had begun the tribal attacks, discrimination, greed for power. today, the strong and prolific pen is gone, and you celebrate that your prayer has come true. but its always like that. we have no choice but to continue the opposition, as you're doing now. incomplete 'scholar'.
