    EVEN ME APONKYE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANY HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE BEATEN IN PUBLIC OR CHANGE HIS/HER NAME ...

    Please you are ignorant associating that incidence with islam. That is primarily traditional. If a chief summons anyone in his jurisdiction you have to respond to the summon; no matter the reason. I don't know of Tamale but w ...

    Obviously, you must be from the same forest from which this illiterate chief comes from. Flogging anyone for ignoring invitation has no place in any civilized society. Why did the chief not report the head teacher to the poli ...

    Traditions are upheld very highly in where I come. The chief did everything right!. You come over to Tamale and disobey the summons of the chief you will face the same rigor! PERIOD!

    Wow. I cant believe that any human being will see this has RIGHT!

    My my, I just cant believe it, but then again, it tells you why things are the way they are!!!!

    I don't think this Mejida guy and his chief or whatever belong to the civilized world.

    Teachers don't answer to chiefs to go to palace to explain administrative works to a chief.

    I think the teaches should boycott clas ...

    If this is what happens in Tamale then it explains why people are leaving for the south and do not return.

    Mejida, you are an ass, as stupid as your Chief. Who told you that there are some people above the law? Illiterate like you. Go read the Constitution.

    Kwasi GOAT (Aponkye) you really talk like a goat. If you did not have any sensible contribution to make you should have kept mute, than insulting muslims. You are a fool!!!

  • Citizen 10 years ago

    @kwasi your comment is clear indication of your hatred for muslims. I didn't see anything islamic about what the chief did. Neither did the chief say he is basing his actions on islamic jurisprudence.

    Looking at your comm ...

    Kwasi,

    There is no difference between and this ignorant so called chief. Just because he bears a Muslim name does not make him a Muslim. Your name is Aponkye, does not make a you an Akan or Christian. Let the law take it's ...

    In as much I totally disagree and condemn the chief for his action/reaction, I also think that the Head Teacher should have honored the invitation to explain matters to the chief. Invitation is not necessarily asking or forci ...

    you too????

  • the truth 10 years ago

    He doesn't have to go to every parent and explain why there is a levy.

    The chief is also a parent.

  • Mejida 10 years ago

    When the parent happens to be person of authority then you as a headteacher must take precaution.

  • BBCy 10 years ago

    What kind of country is this?

  • Odd 10 years ago

    An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The uncouth "king" should meets the same fate in front of his subjects. Should be flogged too, and if any of his thugs try to intervene, be shot and killed.

  • Souljah Man 10 years ago

    This Mejida guy is a Buffoon and his MORONIC rants should be ignored.

  • J.Davis 10 years ago

    I AM NOT SURPRISE TO HEAR A CHIEF FLOGGING A TEACHER IN PUBLIC FOR NOT GIVING IN TO HIS DEMAND OF LEVY REDUCTION AND SO SHOULD YOU IF YOU THE HISTORY OF SLAVE TRADE.IT WAS THE SO-CALLED CHIEFS WHO SOLD THEIR OWN PEOPLE TO THE ...

    THE CHIEF MUST BE WHIP/LASH @ THE MARKET CENTRE.
