They have deep seated hatred for Ewes, they should thank Rawlings for allowing himself to be used which have given the tribalist a platform to do what they had always wanted to do.

A baby mosquito came back after flying the first time. His dad asked him”How do you feel?” He replied “it was wonderful, everyone was clapping for me!” the father replied…. Every 1 was not clapping for you but wanted to kill you, the more they clapped, the more chances you r going to die. LESSON: In life, not all the people who celebrate you are well wishers, so be wise.

THERE IS A SAYING THAT THE DEVIL YOU KNOW IS BETTER THAN THE ANGEL YOU DON'T KNOW.
WHEN DR AWOONOR WILLIAMS WAS TEACHING AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY AT STONY BROOK IN NEW YORK,HE HIRED MANY AKANS TO GET TEACHING ASSISTANT JOBS THERE WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR MASTERS DEGREE.
SENATOR STORM THURMOND OF SOUTH CAROLINA WAS ACCUSED OF BEING A HATER OF BLACKS,BUT ANYTIME HIS ENEMIES MAKE THE STATEMENT,HE SMILES AND SAYS HE HAS CONNECTIONS IN THE BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD.
AFTER HIS DEATH HIS BLACK DAUGHTER CAME FORWARD AND TOLD THEM THAT HE WAS A GOOD FATHER.
AWOONOR WILLIAMS HAVE CONNECTIONS IN THE AKAN AREAS LIKE STORM THURMOND.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

CNN) -- Essie Mae Washington-Williams, the biracial woman who revealed nine years ago she was the illegitimate daughter of former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond, died Monday, her family's spokesman said. She was 87.
Washington-Williams kept her father's identity secret until six months after Thurmond, a segregationist leader for decades, died in June 2003 at age 100.
"I never wanted to do anything to harm him or cause detriment to his life or to the lives of those around him," Washington-Williams said at a 2003 news conference, six months after her father died at the age of 100.
She died at her Columbia, South Carolina, home of natural causes Monday morning, according to Frank Wheaton.
Thurmond ran for president in 1948 on the ticket of the States' Rights Democratic Party, or Dixiecrats, a breakaway faction of Southern Democrats who believed strongly in racial segregation and were opposed to their party's civil rights program. Thurmond joined the Republican Party in the 1960s and ultimately turned away from his segregationist past.
Martin: GOP needs to listen to blacks
"My father did a lot of things to help other people, even though his public stance appeared opposite," Washington-Williams said. "I was sensitive about his well-being and career and his family here in South Carolina."

Yes in 1979 some six Ghanaians were shot at Teshie by firing squad
under the leadership of Jerry Rawlins.The reasons for that punishment if applied in todays Ghana will result in plus one million casualties including JJ himself. Prof Awooner and co weilded a lot of influence in the regime that implemented the executions but did not stop it for variuos reasons. Today he has also died by the gun through another group of aggressors supposedly championing Islam. We are all accountable to God and only he can pass judgement on our lives on earth. For us the living we can only extend our condolences to his family the same way that the families of those killed in 1979 and subsequent political killings in Ghana irrespective of the tribes of the executed. Judgement is mine says the Lord!! Prof rest in peace.

Kofi Awonoor William's death should be Celebrated by all Akans, none Tribalist, and all Fair Minded Ghanaian. For it is said that those who live by the Sword die by the Sword. This was a guy who orchestrated the 1981 Coup that overthrew Liman's Constitutionally elected Government for the sole purpose of taken Political and Economic Hegemony from the Akans, especially the Ashantis. These ungrateful 'ayigbe' bastard, thugs, thieves and tribalist proceeded to kill many Akan and seized many others businesses. The mess Ghana is in now is the result of these ewe fools holding on to power for over 25 years regardless of their incompetence and corruption. May all those who took part in that evil coup go the same way. For evil that men do lives after them. I don't normally drink, however I am making an exception today, going to drink Jack Daniels in Celeberation of the death of an Evil Animal.

The next person to go is JJ Rawlings.All those who contributed in the killings of innocent blood in the so called revolution will die in a similar manner. God will definitely pay them back in their own coin for the attrocities committed during 19 years misrule of Rawlings.
The wrath of God is on war path against them, and the vengeance can occur anywhere in the whole wide world. With his death, one of the anti-Ashanti and inward looking ewes is gone forever.

Quarshigah or whatever you are called. I have never come across such senseless person like you in my life. Why are so heartless to the family of the late Prof. Yes, he may have stepped on some toes whilst alive just as we all do sometimes, intentionally or otherwise, but this does not give you the right to spew out such a garbage on a departed soul and inflame tribal war on this forum. I am a full-fledged Asante, a royal from the Ananagya family of Kumawu, a great-great-great grandson of Twebeneboah Kodua, and a cousin of the current MP in of Kumawu, Hon. Philip Basoa. Though, as a scholar myself, l disagree with some of the Anti-Ashanti comments of the Prof. in the yesteryears. Nevertheless, my disagreement does not give me any right to disrespect him of his tragic death. It can happen to anyone of us, even your OWN FATHER too, so stop this nonsense and show some respect.

I lost a loved one a few months ago and it is one of the most painful things anyone will ever go through and this pain is exacerbated by senseless comments. Prof. Awoonor may have made some unguarded comments in public but how many times haven’t we made similar comments privately. Let us be honest, we are all tribalistic. Prof., Rest in Peace.
