To the bereaved family, I say sorry for your loss. To the deceased himself, I say hurray, may the vultures and mice shred you into pieces. Don't come this way ever again, may you wander about in hell for all eternity. Dzimapkla! You hated Akans, and brow-beat miseducated Rawlings to do your biddings. Rot in hell, kwaseato! You hated Akans and all that I am doing is returning the favour, so your ilk and family will know how we feel. No mercy or sympathies for you. Get lost!

When I was a graduate student at Princeton, in my first year, I visited Bronx where my sister was living in the same apartment complex with Prof Kofi Awoonor. At the time, he was lecturing part time at Columbia and pursuing his final ph.d. dissertation.

What I remember about him is that he would often speak FANTI to my sister encouraging her to be closer to his (Kofi's) wife rather than the other gullible, gossipy Ghanaians in the same complex because he found my sister articulate and educated. I spoke often with him in Fanti and he was full of excitement whenever Ghana came up. Even at that time he did not look that old; I am surprised that he was 78. May he rest in peace - those who knew him up close really considered him classy and he fitted into many Ghanaian ethnic groups and backgrounds because he spoke so many Ghana languages.... it was always difficult to pin him as an Ewe. His English was nothing like an ewe accent!!! He reminded me that part of the Awoonor-Willliams larger family hails from Saltpond in the Central Region, just as the Renners.

Folks - Kofi was no tribalist. He might have been an Ewe nationalist. I found him more Ghanaian than most people; I can say for a fact that he was neither an ewe-phobic nor akan-phobic, if there are such things. He was simply a Ghanaian Nationalist

Dont be fooled by those who did not know him. Majority of Jews hated Jesus, but the Lord was right all along, so do not just accept the majority view when the view is based on hearsay. I knew the guy - take it or leave it!!

Your unsolicited comment has betrayed your own bigotry. Since you are faultless, I hope you witness your own exit from the world one day.

Which Ghanaian will never taste death?Which Ghanaian is free of sin? Which Ghanaian has never ever been a tribalistic animal? Prof Awoonor is dead so the best thing is introspection to think where YOU fall.The prof is done and he has to account to his God so its better to think of YOUR FAULTS since you're yet to settle your final account with God.To keep beating on the dead prof is akin to drinking poison expecting another person to die.Very foolish so lets quit the nonsense.
