William, you are right. It is tribal and has been tribal for almost a century now. What will make these fools learn some sense. Is it not shameful?
I was quite young when this stupidity started once again. Many people from that area flee to the South to work at people’s farms, KAYAYO and Drivers’ mates. Is that what they want? Can’t they reason. That area will always be backward and retarded.

Poopyhead Mame Ama. Your inability to reason logically is unsettling, since when did the creation of new regions mean an end to traditional rulership boundaries? Are the chiefs in the various regions government appointees? You should pity your pathetic self alongside those who have incoherent thoughts like you who want governments to usurp traditional authorities for imposters like your self-deceived Yanga community head you formerly referred to as zugraan. If not because the government has been unfair to the Mamprusis in this matter, how could that nincompoop even try to think of usurping and commandeering the whole Bawku skin to himself, a mere commoner who nothing before the decimal point?

Does that mean they should kill each other? This has got nothing to do with Bawumia, Nana, NPP, NDC or any political party and candidate. The Bawku conflict started about a century ago and it keeps recurring every now and then.
I remember that a brutal one started in the mid Sixties and many people from there fled to the South. Many Southerners workings there came back to the South and people were not prepared to take postings there. The whole of the Bawku area had only one Medical Doctor and a few Nurses. Bawku area became like an abandoned place. Is it not a shame? Despite all the destructions that the people caused to individual and Government properties, they still enjoyed free healthcare and education. Let them destroy their own homes and businesses and blame Bawumia. In the end, Bawumia is rich and will not suffer in any way. If he happens to win the Presidency, his situation and that of his family is going to be better off.
If the people of Bawku will not learn some sense but decide to kill each other, let us leave them alone to continue with their murders. When they cause trouble there and flee to the South, they should know that KAYAYO has even become competitive and they shall not even have sleeping places at the markets and front of stores. They shall rather become more miserable and horrible.

This is quite funny. If this continues we the people of Tamale and Yendi will mount a barrier to execute Mamprusi who plough the road. This criminal act with impunity must stop. How can we allow this to continue? Mamprusi have no right to decide who to use the road and who to live. The failure of government to deal with Nayire has emboldened them to commit crimes

The Mamprusis are the problem. They are violent and lacks understanding. They behave like the Palestinians. Every land belongs to them. The ancestor, Gbewa was a South Sudanese migrant who fled attacks from Arab and came and settled in Bawku area. You see Sudanese trait in them. Sudan and South Sudanese are fighting among themselves because they lack understanding. Common sense doesnt exist in them. The same triat exhibited by the Mamprusis. They killed innocent people many of them are not Kusaasis. If the Frafras and other tribes intervened what do you think will happened?

Interesting no one narrating the story is bold to mention who mounted the barricade and who they were looking for. The truth is that it is the Mamprusis who are perpetuating all these things yet their son Bawumia who is busy campaigning to be president is saying and doing nothing about it. His complicity and silence in this matter is nauseating. Some of us argued at the time these new regions were being created that these were essentially tribal regions that will pitch tribes against tribes. When north-east was part of northern region, the security situation was always known to other tribes like the Dagombas or Konkonbas who were regional ministers, and they did the right things to ensure peace. Now, north-east is a region for Mamprusis with minority tribes that have been turned into slaves on that land. They now plan everything security and execute them with the involvement of the political elite, including Buwumia and his assigns at the blind side of everybody. Prez. Kufuor made this mistake of making Gen. Hamidu national security coordinator in 2001 when he had interest in the Yendi chieftaincy crisis, and the result of that decision is well known to Ghanaians. Some Ghanaians are busy campaigning for Bawumia who is a dye in the wool Mamprusi who has refused to do anything about this conflict, to be president. Can anybody imagine what will happen to the Kusasis and their allies when Bawumia becomes president and takes charge of the security of this country? Can Bawumia pretend that he was not aware of the so-called Mamprusi chief's return to Bawku that is eliciting all these reactions? Did you fight for the region for development or you did that to impose yourselves on your enemies? Ghanaians cannot and should not fall into this disaster again by electing Bawumia as president, especially when he has demonstrated he can take his eye off the ball and pretend he is unaware of what is going on between the Mamprusis and Kusasis. Impunity must not be rewarded. It is time we held politicians responsible for the happenings in their backyards. We cannot bring on ourselves the Yendi situation by pitching one tribe against the other as a country. Bawumia must be seen and heard to be doing something about the current happenings for us to trust that he will be president for all in that area and not president for Mamprusis. Until that is done, no one should reward him for his inaction.

Every year officers and men of the Ghana Armed Forces are promoted to senior ranks, they go to work in their offices, and draw salaries, travel abroad to War Colleges and wear their badges with sheepish pride, yet, our sleeping, drooling, certificateless vagabond of a so-called president and Commander-In-Chief (C in C) looks on very clueless, and surrounded by praise singing generals. How foolish? Galamsey is beyond our useless military, now it is Bawku. How stupid of the leadership of this country. Do our so-called special forces only get work to do on 6th March parades with their ugly faces painted in camouflage paints and that is all? Are they not supposed to be on the battlefield defending this country? How cowardly of them. We have an airforce now with too many helicopters in place of what used to be fighter Ground Attack jets, all due to the foolishness of this stupid dog we have for a president. WHAT AT ALL IS THIS? Now Bawku has gotten out of hand. Aren't there children and women living in Bawku? I can imagine how terrified they become in the midst of all these troubles.
