    Thanks for bringing the names of all those people and telling readers who they are/were. Yes, for Okoampa and people like Akadu, they are/were all Ewes! Recollect that Akadu wrote one of her watery verses claiming ...

    All these so-called Akans were not within the inner perimeter/circle. All the obnoxious decisions were taken behind their back.

  • Trokosi Basher 10 years ago

    Awonoor was a hate monger who died by the sword. He used his pen to kill some people and he was cut down like a dog by the Al-shabbab terrorists.

    SHAME ON YOU TROKOSI BIAS

  • Abrewanana 10 years ago

    Chosen One,

    Please tell us why Acheampong and the rest were killed. As the "Chosen One", u probably know a lot more than the rest of us "left-behinders".

  • tundele 10 years ago

    He tries to use lofty words and in the process loses his train of thought inevitably confusing himself and his readers. Too much hu hu.

  • Kakaminamor 10 years ago

    You are an educated fool! The world is fed up with you. The university which awarded you the PhD have regretted a lot. You are a social deviant and a shame to society. You never write anything to bring people together but to ...

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Don't mind the Akyem dog. I have never come across any of his "Kofi is a Boy" books let alone read a review of his silly publications anywhere. Whether he likes it or not, he is no match for late Kofi Awoonor. Kofi's name is ...

  • Paa Kojo 10 years ago

    It just bothers me a lot that many Ewes do not want to 'see beyond their noses'-Awoonor was tribalist of the highest order, period! Please read his book and you will not remain as inward looking as you continue to be about ev ...

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 10 years ago

    You must have some serious problem of reading and comprehension or don't know what the jerk was writing about to claim that this crap "is devoid of tribal undertones". What about this:

    "Needless to say, this list of "dedic ...

  • Whose Blurred Vision-The tribalist? 10 years ago

    A predictable reponse from the inward looking tribe.
    You can match Akans boot for boot but it will not change the facts as Akans know them- You are too inward looking and you will remain so till eternity because you are so s ...

    Lies, lies and insults from people with complexes.

  • KK 10 years ago

    So far, there is not much to take from this review. Nothing in this shows that Awoonor was a "tribalist" who hated Akans.

    The fact that the book is dedicated to a bunch of Ewes arbitrarily chosen by the author as his versi ...

    Aren't you brave enough to write this ananse story when the man was alive?

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Akyem dog and bastard, your silly publications have never seen the light of day in any academia of repute. Awoonor towers above you even in death.

    obviously the bigoted oaf has a lot more nonsense to say.

    In ten life times, you Cannot be half the man prof. Awoonor was.

    Your revisionism will amount to nothing.

    Sad , silly , lonely mad man you are.

  • MAY K 7 years ago

    You don't seem to be saying anything just putting words together that hardly have a flow.
