No wonder your life expectancy is only about 40 years, civilized countries live up to 80 for men and 85 for women.

Why is everything NDC/NPP for you? Open your eyes and take a look at the guns in the street, the violent crimes, the contract killings, the declining tourism, the poor economy, youth unemployment, the increased corruption and mismanagement etc.

We should not treat voting as Hearts/Kotoko, If a government does not perform to our expectation, we must throw that gov out, that is how they do it in the civilized world. We would not benefit from the good things democracy brings if we continue to "hate" each other and so continue to vote on tribal lines. We must "love", we must be on the side of the "good"(God) so that there would be 'light' in Ghana instead of the darkness(devil) that has covered us.

I hope this stupid Best will say something negative about a northern god and learn a bitter lesson. That will be the last time he runs stupidity from that ugly mouth. You dirty monkey and bat meat eater!

Stop acting inferior. Did he mention any tribe or make any tribal insinuation? Or do you not consider as despicable in this age to butcher a helpless old lady on suspicion of witchcraft? This stupidity shouldn't happen whether it's in the north, south, east or west. Simple!!!

You see how stupid you are? How do you know Best eats monkeys and bats? It's because you assumed he is Akan but Best could as well be an Ewe or a Ga. Ewes and Ga people also don't like innocent old women butchered to death because of some foolish belief of witchcraft just like some Ashantis don't believe in this Antoa Nyama nonsense. This is not about any tribe or Region, it's about stupid beliefs. Do you think all Northerners believe in this witchcraft nonsense?

That's where President Mahama from , gonja district of the northern region where there is no respect for the rule of law. The northern region that do not have regard for human life much less a gonja guy ruling Ghana. President Mahama has no idea and no regard for the citizens of Ghana and their suffering and rules with his crooks to loot to enrich the once in his gorvernment and to let all Ghanaian citizen suffer. That's why his surrogates crooks comes on air to talk propaganda about others and wants to tag them with names and to make them unpopular and to make us fools to vote for them again. Please vote for any other party and not these criminal NDC party making the Ghanaian life so hard to live.

Until people like you in the NPP realize your utterances are devisive, tribalistic and violent, it will be difficult for Nana and his all die be die colleagues to win power. What do you think Gonjas who are NPP members will think of the party? Mark it on the wall!!!

the fact that some old ppl have been ousted and disconnected from society in some towns in the north to the blatant disregard for their human rights whilst successive govts look on is clear an admission that govt endorses it. i can't imagine all the good ppl we live with as young men and women suddenly turning to witches upon becoming old. is there no psychiatrist or mental health nurses in ghana to counteract this stone age mentality and set these old friends free?

Kojo, I don't think govts endorse these camps but we must consider the safety of the men and women who are accused of witchcraft. Govts can't give individual protection. It therefore makes sense that they relocate for their own safety. However, I agree that govts could have reintegrated them in other communities but they could be killed if their identities are known. The developed countries do this very well. New location, new identity.

Many older people develop dementia. Their behaviour may change with memory loss and they may say many delusional things. They may wander at night and end up in all manner of places saying all kinds of things. They may say they are witches or wizards based on in bred beliefs. All of these folks need care and support not panic and violence.

Oh Lord what a nation are born into where instead of honouring the old aged it is rather regarded as a crime to be old.There is total disregard for the old in all quarters.Every mishap in every family is always the innocent old lady.In a nation like Ghana just pray that you never grow old.Sad Indeed.Those making it even worse are the Pastors,Malams and Priests who will always have something to tell to bring confussion into marriages and afmilies in general.Wake up my people and start to take full responsibilty for your problems and not someone else.To prevent these from happening is to educate the masses.

Why do we always accuse the old people to be witches in Africa? Have we all forgotten we will one day grow old like them?
