The whole country is moving forward in terms of development and Yendi is on the opposite road, of armed violence, why?
The government should deal with impunity which is the source of the conflict, organise the funerals of Naa Yakubu and Abdulai. And let the kingmakers select the Oldman from Mion as Yaa-Naa.
Yendi and the north needs peace, peace and inclusive peace. Yes to development, no to war!

There must be something wrong with those who support NPP: How can people follow an internationally acknowledged marijuana smoker as their leader?

Lets be forgiving and always give peace a chance. We are one and from the same father. Lets believe in ourselves and tell the military not to worry ,we would celebrate a peaceful festival that would forever be remembered.

We don't want any fighting up North again. Let the government use money that will be used for keeping the peace be used for development in your area

The only way to stop these people from fighting is to delete and keep their names out of the electoral register for about 25yrs,when they start behaving well then we bring it back to allow them to vote.

There is no part of Ghana without communal tension, even Accra! But it is only in Ashanti that you practise ritual murders for sika duro!

any government that can resolved this conflict shd be devoid of politics so that we can have a concrete solution by way of given the tittle back to Andanis as a compensation becos the yanas death was NOT natural.

The guy they call bolin lana told the whole nation at wuaku commission that he was not bolin lana when he was asked, was that not the case. He said so bcos customarly he knows he not qualified to bear that title. So why are they still trying to use him to cuase confusion in dagbon? The security shd be hard this time round and do the right thing. As for the mp for the area, he is fully immersed in what is going on he is only being hypocritical. We have never had two regents in dagbon and it remains the same. After all, the regent of dagnon was rightfully enskined at the time of npp, so let no one question his legitimacy. But let the abudus try again, they will be crashed where ever especially in Tamale.God bless dagbon and get rid of wicked ones amongs us.

Every tom dick and harry has to be respected in Dagbong. Divergent views between two or more people should not be a suprise. so as divergent views in a large kingdom like Dagbong. The name of the game should be Fairness and just as pronouced and not violence or biasness.I personally urge young ones like Nbangba not to toe on the line of those selfish as well as divisive leaders that we now have in our country. Nbangba you still have a future that could be brighter so do not scramble it. Take care.

Bolin Lana is 100X more qualified to be Bolin Lana than the socalled Kampakuya Naa who is illegal in the first place.

There can never be peace if justice is underminded. No recognition must be given to komkomba reagent in yanaas cloth by dagombas; made possible by politicians.

ALOGTI,LOGTI,LOGTI,LOGTI PEOPLE AND THEIR FUNNY WAYS OF SNEAKING LIKE SNAKES TO CAUSE TROUBLE. BET THERE CAN BE NO TWO KINGS FOR DAGBAN...YOU CANT LIE TO PRESIDENT KUFOUR AND EMBARRASS HIM THAT YOU ONLY WANTED TO PERFORM THE FUNERAL OF FORMER REGENT MAHAMADU ABDULAIS ONLY TO ATTACK HIS BROTHER THE DAGBON OVERLORD YAA -NAA YAKUBU ANDANI. WHEN PRESS WERE LODGING REPORTS THEY CLAIMED IT WAS ONLY A CLAN CLASH. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRUM THE TIMPANI DRUMS, ASSEMBLE AND DANCE. NO SIGNS OF TWO KINGS PLEASE....ANY PROVOCATION WOULD BE TREATED WITH CONTEMPT

Unless if:

1. You are NOT Dagomba
2. You dont know Dagbong's meaning
3. You dont know Dgabong History
4. You are not a Bilchina but a dabli
5. You are insincere and dishonest.

OTHERWISE,
You and me and everybody knows that THE REAL OVERLORD of Dgabong is Bolin Lana.

It is a mockery of your self if your king or commander-in-chief has been defeated, killed and all, and you still go about tickling yourself and deceiving yourself and even insulting yourself that you are something. Ask and you would be told the truth, IN THIS STATE THAT YOU ARE, ALL YOU DAGOMBAS ARE THE INDEED THE SERVANTS OF THE BOLIN LANA.

THIS IS THE TRUTH, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT UNTRUE.

There must be total peace in Dagbon, please security don't prevent any person celebrating our damba festival. It is irresponsible and very wrong for security to stop any gate to celibate.

The Abudus should understand that the paece that Dagbon is enjoying is bigger cherished and valued more than they think. We will not therefore allow them to tear dagbon any more.
