Kofi Awoonor lived a life full of hate and intolerance against the Akan people and Asante in particular to the extent that he together with Rawlings used state machinery and power to victimise the people of Asante and mounted vicious campaign to get all other tribes against Asante,and want on to form NDC and enshrined in its spirit avowed hatred for Asante.
This man is today killed by people who live life full of hatred and intolerance.
Is this coincidence or the law of course and effect at work?

Why bring that hateful tribalistic home? Did anybody bring BB Bismack home? The tribal bigot who provided the hatred ideology and justification for the confiscation and destruction of Akan businesses met a deserving end. Alahu Akbar, God is great. May he rest in pieces and shreds where nobody can identify him except vultures; the same way he and his hating tribal bigots did to many Akans, dropping some of them in the ocean. This is the best news of the year. Next to go is Rawlings, Kpegah, Kojo and Tsatsu Tsikata. Hell's gates await you all. Happy? Yes! Exceedingly!
Awoonor at least got a taste of his own medicine from people who harbour similar hatred for their fellow men. Greet Atta Mess for us when you see him, and make room for Rawlings, Kpegah, Kojo and Tsatsu Tsikata. They will follow soon. "That Great Ashanti Project" which constituted their collective hatred of Ashantis in particular will consume all of them one by one. Dzimakpla!

OMG! I thought these evil Asshantis only hated Nigerians out of ignorance and jealousy for Nigerians' prosperity, but the 'VENOM' being spewed against their fellow citizen Prof Kofi Awonoor, who was murdered by Al-Shebab terrorists in Kenya, was beyond human comprehension. No wonder, when these evil Asshantis violently deported Nigerians from Ghana during the EVIL Busia ACO in the 60s, (and STOLE their properties and shared them amongst themselves), I thought, well...maybe Nigerians faced such (horrible and barbaric experience at the hands of these WICKED Asshantis), because they are not natives of Ghana.
However, with the current sort of HATRED, VILIFICATION AND POISONOUS VENOM' from these HORRIBLE Asshantis to their fellow citizen late Prof Awonoor, then who need an ENEMY, when you are 'UNFORTUNATE' to have Asshantis as your fellow citizens. Shame on you Asshantis BIGOTS. Thank God I'm PROUDLY Nigerian. RIP Prof Awonoor.

"What made me the King of Azonto was my video Abodatoi. I asked myself a couple of questions before I did a video. I asked myself what do I have as a person. I don’t have money, I don’t know a lots of girls, I don’t have connections, I don’t have anything. All I had was Azonto, my dance. Azonto as you know comes from a small town in Accra called ‘James Town’. It’s a fishing community and all they do after fishing, they sing and dance."
~ Gasmilla
I believe, Hollywood will start doing Azonto movies, Azonto choreographies in the movies, ’cause Azonto is the next ISH!
It’s the next biggest thing that hits the world.
Der Phantasie sind keine Grenzen gesetzt.
Let the body move your mind!
It’s Azonto time!

“It is really amazing to see that Ghana’s azonto has spread world-wide.”
Not sure how Report Ghana figured that a video in which U.S. soldiers bounce around barracks and dance with the odd Afghani kid is going to radically alter representations of Afghanistan. And in this instance, is it really worth celebrating Ghana’s global reach?
Mainly, in the vein of Hearts and Minds, the video functions as good PR for the Army and the U.S. government.
Distracted by all the frat-boy homerotic fun and games, everyone (me included) starts feeling sentimental about “the boys” and forgets to ask what the the Army is still doing in Afghanistan . . . and why our leaders saw fit to send it in the first place.
On a purely formal note: this is not azonto – just bad dancing set to an azonto soundtrack.
Der ghanaische "Azonto"hat sich über ganz Westafrika ausgebreitet und findet inzwischen Nachahmer in der ganzen Welt.
In Ghana sieht man den Tanz am Straßenrand, auf Festen oder im Club, von Kindern und Erwachsenen getanzt. Aber auch in Europa findet Azonto immer mehr Nachahmer.
Azonto-Partys gibt es mittlerweile in vielen europäischen Großstädten. Azonto selbst ist extrem variabel. Es gibt außer einem Grundschritt der Füße, den man nicht durchgehend einhalten muss, und ein paar wenigen Bewegungen, kaum ein vorgeschriebenes Muster.
Mit Azonto kann alles ausgedrückt werden, Gefühle wie Handlungen - die Grenzen des Azonto sind die der eigenen Fantasie.
Doch egal, was ausgedrückt wird, Azonto bleibt immer ein Spiel - und vor allem: Azonto bleibt immer einzigartig, unterscheidet sich gerade von afrikanische, jamaikanischen oder afro-amerikanischen Tänzen durch den geringen Körperkontakt.
Man klebt nicht aneinander, ist viel in Bewegung und fordert seine Mittänzer ununterbrochen.
Auch nach Deutschland hat es Azonto mittlerweile geschafft. Vor allem dank junger Ghanaer, die den neuen Nationaltanz Ghanas hinaus in die Welt tragen. So auch die Hamburger T.O. & StunnaKid. Beide haben ghanaische Wurzeln und befruchten die deutsche Musikszene mit ghanaischen Sounds. Und den entsprechenden Tanzbewegungen.
Azonto besteht aus wenigen festgelegten Grundschritten und ist ein einfacher Tanz, der viele Freiheiten lässt. Dazu fette Beats und Ohrwurm-Melodien. Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis Azonto Einzug findet in den westlichen Pop-Mainstream

Who do you think you are deceiving here, you good for scraps empty headed trokosi imbecile. Ashantis never hate any tribe anywhere. Neither are they jealous of Nigerians for anything because Ashantis by nature are hardworking and therefore prosperous. Ashantis built their Kingdom from their own sweat and that is what has attracted the large Ewe population to Kumasi and its environs as carpenters and farm hands. Occasionally too, they cut throats and are apprehended and jailed. Kofi Awoonor was evil and that is that. Until your people stop being inward looking, you will forever be envious of Ashanti success and development. If you disagree, preach to your numerous brothers and sisters to return to Ho from Kumasi (Anloga & Awona-Fante New Town) and see how many of them will move. Force them and see how many will commit suicide.

Those of you who have seized this sad, tragic event as another opportunity to be releasing your venomous, uncouth and unfounded hatred for Awoonor and Ewes are just revealing yourselves as to what you really are: mentally warped evil people without any redemptive features at all.
Awoonor was absolutely right in taking on and exposing the hounding of Ewes by some Akans, led by some core Asante elements from within the former Asante kingdom after the 1966 coup. He was a victim himself. That hounding continues to this day and we who are reasonable and know the facts and have the capability owe a duty to Awoonor, to our ourselves and our children to vindicate what he wrote and expose these rabies infested dogs for what they are!
Awoonor was no tribalist! Writing on the tribal hounding of Ewes by some Akans of the Matemeho tradition who destroyed the UP tradition with their ethncentrism does not make one a tribalist, just as writing about and condemning white racism doesn't make one a racist! To write about racism, one must mention what racists do. Same for evil minded Akan bigots and jingoists who spend their sad, waking lives insulting Ewes and people from northern Ghana.

Now what you are saying is that he was right to do that, so which one of your defenses is right? Did he write what he is being accused of or he is being accused falsely?
Nobody and I mean nobody should rejoice at the death of another human being as death is inevitable for all of us but stop defending Awonoor for his bigotry. He and other trokosi morons caused a lot of misery to some families and these people are expressing their feelings. It might not be appropriate at this time to do so but what you called tragic death is what Awonoor and trokosi morons like Rawlings, Tsatsu and Kojo Tsikata wrapped in gift papers and sent to many homes during the Rawlings killing fields in the 80's with marauding trokosi head hunters like Amedeka, Senya and others abducting people and killing them with orders from these moronic trokosi fools.
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword and this is poetic justice. Awonoor preached hate and was killed by haters.

SENATOR STORM THURMOND WAS ACCUSED OF BEING A RACIST BUT HE ALWAYS DEFENDED HIMSELF BY SAYING THAT HE HAD CONNECTIONS IN THE BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS.
WHEN HE DIED BEFORE HIS BIRACIAL DAUGHTER CAME FORWARD.
DR AWOONOR WILLIAMS IS A FRIEND OF NANA ADDO DANQUAH WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT.
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."
Washington-Williams said she went public only at the urging of her children, but rumors had persisted for years.
An attorney for the former senator's family confirmed in 2003 that Thurmond fathered a child with a teenage black housekeeper in 1925. Her mother, Carrie Butler, worked as a maid at the Thurmond family home in Edgefield, South Carolina.
At the time of Washington-Williams' birth, Butler was 16 and Thurmond was 22, unmarried and living in his parents' home.
Opinion: MLK would hardly recognize America today
Butler's sister took the girl to live in Pennsylvania when she was 6 months old. She did not meet Thurmond until 1941, when she was 16.
Her mother, who was ill and died a short time later, had insisted on introducing her to Thurmond, who acknowledged her as his daughter, the Washngton Post reported in 2003.
Throughout the years, the two kept up a relationship despite the divide over race, Washington-Williams said.

Majority of you Awoonor and Ewe bashers are just pretending or ignorant of the facts that Ashantis have done more harm to the Ewes than the other way round. Ewes always help Ashantis, but in return the Ashantis always destroy Ewes. Here are a few facts for your education;
1. Okomfo Anokye was an Ewe man who founded the Asante Kingdom. He was clubbed and killed on his farm after helping Osei Tutu I.
2. When the matemeho was in political diaspora and limbo and needed political oxygen, it took the bravery of Kwasi Kotoka an EWE to "liberate" Ghana for the opposition NLM to come to power. Within a year in power, Kotoka and his aids were slaughtered by those he thought he was helping?
3. When the PP won that Afrifa rigged election in 1969, the UP Govt did commit two heinous crimes against EWES: (a) they dismissed 568 civil servants (infamous Apollo 568) majority of whom were Ewes with Nkrumaist sympathies, (b) in parliament in front of the world press, Victor Owusu insulted the whole Ewe nationality.
4. When Kutu was aided by Agbo and Selorme to form the NDC, they were quickly sacrificed and replaced in the SMCI.
5. For Prof Adu Boahen to rise to national prominence as a statesman, he has to paint EWES black by telling all kinds of lies to be accepted in his group. One cardinal lie was to claim that Prof. Akilagpa Sawyerr was an Ewe after the man on merit defeated him to the Vice Chancellorship of Legon..
If you chronicle all these vices committed against EWE and compare them to the lamentations of Prof Awoonor, the ‘sins’ of Awoonor would make him a saint compared to what his tribe has been suffering in the hands of those who claim he hated them.
SO please, despite the fact that you appear very load on the internet specialising in insulting and demonising Ewes, their ‘crimes’ do not come close to what others have committed against them. Awoonor was discussing the issues as an academic. If you think he was wrong, bring out stronger arguments to defeat his and stop being emotional and insulting by heart. Argue by your head! Otherwise, leave the very learned poet alone to rest in peace. The truth hurts.

Mind you, there is a marked difference between exposing tribalism and inflamming tribalism. The guy obviously did the latter. What bothers me is that this forum has now become a trial court for him. In fact, I feel that some of these pieces should have been written while the guy was alive, not when he is dead and gone.

Champagne will pop soon. The devil incarnate tasted his own medicine before he left this world. He did the same to akans and gas ---Odartey Wellington, Yaw Boakye, Afrifa, Amedome, Utuka, Akuffo, Felli, Acheampong, etc. In 1981, he orchestrated the the ewe coup to wipe akans from the face of the earth. His first act was he killed 3 prominent akan SC judges and replaced them with mediocre ewe morons. Next he systematically eliminated any akan military office that he perceived as a threat. He initiated the Ewe Empowerment program and promoted ewes over their akan commanders in the military.
In short, today is a good day to celebrate and rejoice over the demise of this evil dirty dog. May his soul go straight to hell!!! Amen!!

hatred, envy and egoistic tendencies are always their hallmark. Even in death the man is being envied. Since when do Ghanaians become so a changed nation that when an individual dies, some sections of the society, who hitherto were living solely in the forest, in the heart of what is now known as Ghana and resisted the formation of the Nation Ghana. I am not surprised about the comments of Apeadu Ben and others. This man has been insulted as inward-looking for describing himself first as an Ewe and second as a Ghanaian. Yes, but that is exactly what we all do. Have we not called ourselves first as Akans before being referred to as Ghanaians? Yen Akanfuo, even of recent days has been our pride, why should this man be insulted for saying he is first an Ewe and second a Ghanaian. People who fiercely resisted the formation of Ghana now pontificate to be the founders and will want to be called Founders' instead of the bold founder. People of such calibre will surely be seen everywhere they go. My only piece of advice to them is that it is un-Ghanaian to jubilate on hearing a neighbours death so if they chose to do just that I leave it to their consciences.

It's for all to condemn the senseless bloody terror attack on innocent people anywhere in the world including the Kenyan.
George Kofi Awoonor Williams was not arrested with Rawlings and even if he was, then it was for the fact that he involved himself in the terrorist Rawlings's senseless bloody violent attacks here in Ghana which killed a lot of innocent people and for which he has also paid with his life painfully far away in Kenya. For it is written who ever draws the sword shall die by the sword.
Kofi Awoonor if my memory will serve me right, was rather arrested with Amereka who was also shot to death in Lome in 1986 when he led a Kofi Awoonor, Kojo Tsikata, Rawlings backed Gilchrist Olympio's tribally planned Ewe attack on President Eyadema's government in the Republic of Togo to fulfill the secret Ewe expansion agenda along the west coast of Africa when the two staged an aborted coup against General Acheampong which became popularly known as one man one machet.
He was appointed the Foreign Minister only to be withdrawn for his unpopular tribal remarks that he is first an Ewe before a Ghanaian.
What people did not know about him is that, Kofi Awoonor is actually a half Sierra Leonian, quarter Ewe and quarter Fanti and married to a Fante.
The lesson we should learn from his death as people and country is that bloody violent do not pay and do not solve any social political problems.
It's so pathetic that such academic giant should meet his life in such a terrified horrendous way. His death should serve as a warning to those who are agitating for yet another political violence and tribal war should learn a lesson from Kofi Awoonor's painful death. After all what has been the gain of the bloody June 4th and the fake 31st December revolution which violently came to over threw a popularly democratic government in Ghana apart from enriching some previous hungry campus poor rats?

A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise and yelled over to the boy, "Hey Willis, forget your troubles. Come in and visit with us. I'll help you get the wagon up later."
"That's mighty nice of you," Willis answered, "But I don't think Pa would like me to."
"Aw come on boy," the farmer insisted.
"Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "But Pa won't like it."
After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset."
"Don't be foolish!" the neighbor said with a smile. "By the way, where is he?"
"Under the wagon."

There were two old Akan and Ewe bigots living in the backwoods of the Densu River…Rufus and Clarence. They lived on opposite sides of the river, and they hated each other. Every morning, just after sun-up, Rufus and Clarence would go down to their respective sides of the river and yell at each other
“Rufus!!” Clarence would shout. “You better thank yor lucky stars I cain’t swim…er I’d swim this river and whup your butt!!”
“Clarence!!!” Rufus would holler back. “You better thank YOUR lucky stars that I cain’t swim…er I’d swim this river and knock your head off!!!”
This happened every morning for twenty years. One day the Army Corps of Engineers comes along and build a bridge. Still, every morning, every day for another five years this yelling across the river goes on, even with the bridge.
Finally… Mrs. Rufus had had enough. “Rufus!” she squallers one day. “I cain’t take no more!! Ever day for 25 years you’ve been threatenin’ to whup Clarence. Well, there’s the bridge…have at it.”
Rufus thought for a moment. Chewed his bottom lip for another moment. “Woman!” he declared, snapping his suspenders into place, “I’m gonna cross that thar bridge and I’m gonna whup Clarence’s butt!!!” He walked out the door, down to the river, along the riverbank, came to the bridge, stepped up onto the bridge, walked about halfway over the bridge, looked up…
TURNED TAIL AND RAN SCREAMING BACK TO THE HOUSE, SLAMMED THE DOOR, BOLTED THE WINDOWS, GRABBED THE SHOTGUN AND DOVE, PANTING AND GASPING, UNDER THE BED!!!
“Rufus!” cried to the misses. “I thought you wuz gonna whup Clarence’s butt!!!”
“I was, woman, I was!!” he whispered.
“Rufus!” cried the misses. “What in tarnation is the matter?”
“Well,” muttered the terror-stricken Rufus, ” I went to the bridge… I stepped up on the bridge…walked halfway over the bridge… looked up…”
“And?” asked Mrs. Rufus, breathless with suspense.
“And,” continued Rufus, “I saw a sign that said “Clearance, 13 feet, 6 inches” he ain’t never looked that big from the other side of the river!!!
DR KOFI AWOONOR HAS BEEN CALLED HOME BY THE LORD.HE DIED BECAUSE OF RELIGION.HIS DEATH WAS CAUSED BY HATE BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS.

You forgot to mention that he lived and died by the sword! His heart was full of hatred for his fellow Ghanians who were not Ewe. he was one of the masterminds for the killing of prominent Asantes by Rawlings together with th ...

Kofi Awoonor brought all this on to himself. The divide and rule tactics have caught up with him, even in his grave.
Awoonor was imprisoned under the Kutu Acheampong regime on a coup plot allegation and not because of the Rawlings's engineered coup plot of 1979
He smuggled Ex Capt kojo Tsikata to the Togo border in 1976 when Gen Acheampong was looking for Tsikata to finish him for plotting an attempted coup
may him RIP
Historical untruth isn the statement that he was arrested soon after 1975 for allegedly tring to help Rawlings organize a coup. He was arrested during the Kutu Acheampong era for allegedly joining Kojo Tsikata and others to o ...

THE DANGEROUS TRIBALIST IS GONE, IT IS TIME FOR EWES AND ASHANTIS TO UNITE.

Prof. you are still alive in our hearts.May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
it is unfortunate your coward son did not think of protecting you in time of danger ; he left you alone whether you could run or not .now I know one should not count on his children in case of Danger.
Was thinking the same. The son lied about how it happened. He said by the time he got out of the car, the father has already entered the mall, unbelievable. A 78 year old walked faster to the mall and left his son outside? ...

THIS GUY WAS KILLED BECUASE HE WAS CAUGHT STEALING SOMEBODY'S CAT, THEY WERE GOING TO PREPARE CATMEAT PEPER SOUP,WHEN HE WAS CAUGHT. EWES ARE WELL KNOWN STEALING CAT EVERYWHERE THEY GO. THEY ARE JUST EVILS.
People! Let's becareful nobody knows how he or she will end. Those who are happy today can die a more painful or rather disgraceful death than this and nobody will even hear about them.
IS IT OUR FAULT THAT GOD CREATED AND MADE EWES ACADEMICALLY INCLINED AND INTELLECTUAL SOUL OF MOTHER GHANA? EVEN IF SO, IT IS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHOLE GHANA. FROM VICTOR GBEHO TO AWOONOR , EWES HAVE COMPOSED NATIONAL ...
