None of the people who have written articles have said categorically that they represent any of the parties mentioned in the court. Let people make comments so far us they are not inflaming tribal tendencies. The discourse should and must continue. Are you the writer worried that some of the people who have contributed articles are PHD holders???. It does not matter who the writer(s) is or are. An elementary school boy or someone who holds ten Ph.D.Are you intimidated or what is your problem.? I see that you are also self promoting. You claim to having written several books or articles. It does not make you an authority on this topic or ask the question who has the authority to comment on the case in court. Tribalism exists.Yes it will not and never go away but we have to tolerate other tribes. In a democracy people can write or discuss what ever they want. There is freedom of speech and this virtue is a key component of democracy.

Emmanuel Sarpong Owusu-Ansah thanks for the article, but a cursory look at the articles writen by the named above confirms one thing. With the exception of Clement all the other NDC writers write to attack Akufo Addo as an individual and the NPP party, where as Okoampa and Akadau especially choose to look beyond Kpegah and the NDC to attacking all Ewes as if Kpegah represents all Ewes.
The truth is the leadership of the NPP is very anti Ewe because they as them as a formidable political opponents and this does no good for Ghana.
On the other hand we wont have a democracy if we all agree to the whemls of one party, we need different ideas and opponents to have a democracy.
Thank You

unfortunately this infantile attempt of equating blame is the most destructive of all as a grave injustice is being done to the innocent . the motives and timing of kpegah are most suspect and seemingly very malicious. no matter what evidence is brought up to clear the name of the defendant the media propaganda shoot it down and declare it irrelevant just as they have done in the past by branding the innocent drug barons and cocain pushers . this attitude of lynching the innocent without proof must stop as its very disturbing to any decent human being with a conscience . these spins may win elections but also cause wars that never end

If you are an investigative journalist, then you must give the right colour to things and tell the truth. You are writing about articles which all of us have read and understood and don't have to depend on you for the truth. This sentence from your article does not tell the truth:
"So far, Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor has written at least 17 articles, Clement Sangaparee has produced loads of articles that are not directly linked to the lawsuit in question but tribally venomous, and Daniel K Pryce who claims to be pursuing a PhD programme in Criminology has issued at least an article, all dishearteningly maligning Mr Akufo-Addo and beatifying Mr Kpegah"
Bokor and Pryce have written articles showing that they think Akufo-Addo is hiding something but I haven't seen any article in which they "beatify" Kpegah. Can you quote the parts of the articles that show that they "beatify" Kpegah? Or is it that you don't understand the meaning of "beatify"?

I was in Nana's corner until he said his certificates are missing! From the beginning, I thought he was rope-a-doping and would spring a surprise and nail Kpegah and others in the end with an embossed certificate.
I was really disappointed.
What is the code now? Keep quiet because you might offend a whole tribe? Nowhere in Kpegah's complaint did he mention Akan. Ghanaians, wake up. Must the well connected pit the masses against one another. If a lowly Akan did what it is clearly showing Nana has done, what will be his punishment. Of course, jail. The same goes for an Ewe. And for that matter, Ga, Fante, Northerner, and the rest. And we are allowing the well connected to pit us against one another.
Nana should just produce the certificate he said he earned. His father, rich to no end sent him to school, a chance many on the web did not get, and yet we are here cursing anyone who just says Nana should produce his certificate.

Ewe men are jealous of Akans to an extent that they exhibit this jealousy on their own sisters, daughters and nieces. Read about Prosper Dzakpasu of Dzodze Ablorme. That is what Ewe men are good at. Their women and some christian men are decent. They are not part of Ewe killing machine. Akans have time to fight these primitive group of Ghanaians.
Prosper Dzakpasu of Dzodze Ablorme of the Ketu South District of the Volta Region has been bonking his biological sister for the past 12 years.
Despite caution and threats by several people, Prosper, 38, has refused to desist from sleeping with her sister.
Sources close to the family, who disclosed this to DAILY GUIDE, noted that the posture of Prosper forced them to make the matter public.
They noted that even though the mother of the two siblings cautioned them to desist from the practice on several occasions.
The situation, they noted, had impacted the old lady who is exhausted.
Apparently Prosper is the oldest of five children she bore their father while Cynthia is the last sibling.
Prosper’s grandfather, who also intervened in the matter, had his fare share of insults from his grandson.
The other three siblings of the “unnatural couple” are troubled by the sacrilegious relationship.
Prosper is said to have started sleeping with the sister, Cynthia Dzakpasu, who is currently 29 years old, when she was about 17.
The relationship, which started gradually, has now blossomed into a union, as the two are now living at Dzodze Ablorme.
At the time Prosper was working as a tailor.
After several warning by the family members who kept the matter confidential, Prosper decided to go into exile for five years.
He was later found to be living and working in Accra.
After a few weeks, he came for her sister and the two lived at unknown house in Accra.
Nothing was heard of them until about a year ago when they returned to Dzodze with their six-year-old daughter.
The source told DAILY GUIDE that “Prosper has now developed a thick skin and seem not to respect or fear anybody anymore. He knows that whenever you meet him or call him it is about his distasteful act and so he will not come and when he comes he will not mind anybody.”
The source added that the family had decided to report the case to the Police so that he would be arrested and prosecuted according to the laws of the land.
Other relatives, who cannot fathom why the two have been engaged in such sacrilegious relationship, attributed it to some spiritual cause, while others believe it could be some sort of spell cast on them

Hypocrites: Is there any reasonable Ghanaian who does not know that Ewes are responsible for the problems and pains of Akans? How many innocent Akans have they not killed including our former heads of state and the judges? Why are we denied promotions and senior positions in the military, police, customs and other public institutions? How about our properties seized under P/NDC governments? The latest include our cars and other goods seized at Tema harbour and auctioned cheaply to mostly Ewes and other NDC members,their families and girlfriends, with Segbefia and carl Wilson as the mafia leaders. Why are Akans denied employment in pjblic and private sectors headed by Ewes? Does so called Owusu Ansah want Akans to remain silent until thy kingdom come while these Ewes continue to insult us in addition to our suffering? Only a fool will answer YES. Maybe, one day things will be reversed and Ewes will be at the receiving end. It is then that they will know how it feels like.

And though I identify with the writer's intention to foster peace between Ewes and Akans, his heading for this article is most misleading! It naturally led to his reductionist approach to seeing the commentators on this case as Ewes and Akans, whereas one can also produce enough evidence that people from all the ethnic groups in Ghana had also commented, supporting the party they are affiliated to. He is therefore among those interpreting these comments along tribal lines, instead of the obvious party lines which cut across ethnic group lines. His perception and views are therefore seriously flawed, as he wrongly infused an ethnocentric interpretation into the case. That's more sad than what he is accusing the others of doing.
Take me for instance, I haven't bothered to comment on any of those posts, as the case doesn't interest me much. In fact, I haven't read most at all. I read a couple by Dr Bokor sometime back and that was a couple too much; one by Pryce (didn't see anything tribal about it), and one or two by Kofi Ata (one in favour of Nana) and that's it! O-Ahoofe I didn't read at all! So why enmeshed me an Ewe into some raging tribal war I am even not aware of?

I don't know what kind of journalist he claims to be. Anybody can call himself a journalist. This case is more political than tribal.
His title is very misleading. The writer doesn't seem to even understand the difference between "Ewes at war with Akans" and "Akans at war with Ewes". And no matter which formulation he chooses, he will be wrong because the two tribes are not at war with each other, not even figuratively.
Even Okoampa is fed up with this case and has not written any articles of late on it. It is only Bokor who is pursuing the case. He doesn't represent Ewes. Kpegah is an individual personality who doesn't represent Ewes. Even those Ewes who don't support NPP have nothing against Akyems, Kwahus and Akuapems to whom they have been very close even geographically.
It's just a few people on ghanaweb making noise and playing games with this case. That's all. What war is there?

BTW, if you read Ghanaweb alone, you'd never know that the VR is much Akan as it is Ewe, not to mention the many other linguistic groupings there. Hohoe, where Justice Kpega comes from, is virtually a bilingual town, as practically everybody from there speak Twi too! The Ewes are so intermarried with their Akan neighbours that many bear Akan names, and vice versa.

And Hohoe is as cosmopolitan as any town in VR can be. It has always been so and is even more so now because of all the banks, schools, and other businesses where people from other parts of Ghana have been posted to work. And, yes, most Hoheans may not speak Twi but they understand it and if it becomes very necessary, they speak it.
It is very unfortunate that it is Kpegah who has brought up this case against Akufo. The rumour about something being fishy about the manner in which Akufo was called to the bar in Ghana has been making the rounds in legal circles in Ghana for years. Anybody could have made a Kpegah who, as an individual, is fond of such quirky issues. It is his nature and has absolutely nothing to do with his being Ewe. Why even people who should know better should bundle all Ewes together and paint them one way is something I cannot understand.
And talking about Ewes bearing Akan names, it goes even further than you can think. Just go to Peki, Tshibu or Awudome and ask of their surnames...

Why should an Akan be angry because some one who cheated happens to belong to their race. They don't get angry when an Akan cassava thief is caught and sent to jail. Why are we this way. I rather expect them to be angrier at Nana, who despite all the help resorted to what is being alleged.
I am sad that this is happening. There is no need to be politically correct in this. My friends on the web here are mostly from other tribes. And they are fair, more than I can say for myself. I am reading them and they are not falling over themselves to hi 5 Nana.

Andy, Kpegah's court resolve has nothing to do with party affiliations. Kpegah must have his own bone to pick with Akufo-Addo, and making inferences and deduction one sees a long-awaited and hidden personal agenda that must have sourced from personal reasons.
But any Ghanaian who wants the truth, seeing Akufo-Addo's little mistakes and sabre rattling over his presidential election bid since he lost to Mills would also have gone to court, too.
Here on the Ghanaweb, there have been Akans who call for truth and nothing less in their posts. Personally, I don't care who wins the case; presently I came to the understanding that no matter who leads Ghana, people aren't going to stop corruption as it appears to be an innate tendency in Ghana.
Recently, the former Senegalese President Wade's son and Ministers and those involved in corruption are in jail and investigations still going on for others to get jailed. Ministers are also being jailed for forgery and impersonation. That is the face of democracy, and that is what changes a country and mentality. That is what we want in Ghana.

You may be right that Kpegah's suit is personal between him and Akufo-Addo and may not have anything to do with parties. The rumours I have heard is that Kpegah is frustrated that he is not getting any help from NDC in this matter. The NDC have not forgiven Kpegah for joining hands with Nana Konadu in her rebellion against Mills and are leaving him to fight it alone. Maybe NDC members also have some skeletons in their closets and may not want to be poking their noses into NPP's closets. These politicians know each other well no matter the party lines.
I think you're also right in saying there are some Akans on ghanaweb who just want to know the truth of the matter like some of us. That is why we are not taking sides and waiting to see what will happen. None of us here on ghanaweb can claim to know all the truth about Akufo-Addo and Kpegah. Let them fight it out and we see. Anything that will put the fear into corrupt and fake politicians is welcome. This has nothing to do with tribes or parties. We are all involved.

On the other hand, if Akufo-Addo know he had such tasteless issues and should have kept quiet but didn't, for the sake of his stomach, then let him face up to it and clear his name. If you live in a glass house, you mustn't throw stones.

It is mentally derailed things like you who are the problem the Akans have got to dela with but no the Ewes.I wonder why you dirty tribalistic donkeys wouldn´t make reference to your particular tribes but generalise it.Stupid fool! You can continue to impersonate your name but we know you idiot."Chakura"

Why this fury? I agree that the title is not appropriate but the content is perfect. The theme is very relevant and we need to encourage writers to adopt such approaches. Some of the authors listed are subtle in bringing fanning the ethnic sentiments but others like Okoampa are nation wreckers and Ghanaweb will do this country good by blacklisting such authors. I don't know the impetus for creating Ghanaweb but really, some of the stories posted on it have the potential to destroy the nation.

This is a very easy case to adjudicate. Nana shows up in court without a lawyer but with his certificate. Kpegah is so ashamed he can't find his way home. Or...
Nana shows up and plead to be allowed some time--a month or two months to secure a replacement of his missing certificate. Kpegah goes home and start to think how to apologize to Nana. But...
If Nana comes to court with a host of attorneys and no certificate, believe me, we shall boo him and he will never be the same again.
This is also a lession for us all, especially to children of the rich. The world may homage to them for some time but one day you'll have to stand on your wosn two feet. Ignominious fate awaits if you cannot deliver on your own. Money does not buy everything.

If you know Francis Kpegah well, you will know that he is a strong anti Akan. The man simply hate Akans from his days as a judge in Kumasi. Everybody who worked close to him knows that.

Not only his caption was bad, his analysis too was reductionist and bad. Read my comments above.
It is the same thing that Awoonor did in his "Ghana Revolution," (an opportunistic title for a book said to be written before the mid-1970s when he was imprisoned by Kutu for helping Brig. Kattah to escape arrest), even acknowledging in the book that he was reducing the ethnic antagonism in Ghana to simple terms into "Ewes vrs Akan/Asante" schism, since that's the two focal ethnic groups the antagonists coalesced and he is to this day accused of being a tribalist. This is in spite of the fact that the man indeed wrote another book after the Ghana Revolution dedicated to both Asantes and Ewes, in which he advanced solutions to Ghana's problems hinging those solutions on the two ethnic groups! As for me, that's the book I'd say is tribalistic but since it extolled the virtues of Asantes, rather than any vices they might have, we have never heard a single Asante, or any Akan for that matter, using that book to accuse Awoonor of tribalism! Hmm!

Akufo-Addo has had his fair share of problems in his life.
He was kicked out of Oxford University for smoking dope, so he did not include it on his CV.
Since then it has been going wrong all along.
He was admitted into Legon as a consequence and got an economics degree.
How he then decided to do law and become a lawyer instead of an economist is very strange but he is not the first to do this.
He will make a good lawyer but qualifications in ghana now are not well rewarding as I believe there are a lot of university graduates without jobs.
May the Lord help those in need so they can become good people in life.

These guys masterminded the spewing of dead bodies in Ghana prior to the 2000 elections. This drug addict lost elections when his party was in government and he contested the results. Out of government, he still lost and see how he is holding Ghana to ransom.Who the fuck do these ugly ones think they are? Men!!!leave out the tribal sentiments.

Emmanuel Sarpong Owusu-Sarpong, i should think you are not able to say anything sensible with this head line of your article
- i am a true blue Asante maternally, going back time immemorial from Ejisu-Juaben; and, as an Asante, my top man is the mighty Otumfuor
- you may have vague ideas about the once upon a time sub-human "Akans" who roamed the borderless West Coast of Africa, and who slept with their grandmothers and mothers and raped their daughters; but, they are now dead as the do-do
- wise Justice Kpegah is an Ewe and bluffer Akufo Ado is an Akyem with his top man the minor Akyem Abuakwa paramount chief
- there is no "Akan" tribe in present day Ghana: powerful Asantes and weak Akyems don't make "Akans"; they are two different peoples yet Ghanaians; and takes an idiot to think an Asante, like myself, is an "Akan"
- how can you therefore sensibly write, and i site "Ewes At War with Akans"?; for, where are these "Akans" that the Ewes are at war with?; and who is the top man of the "Akans"?

If you are an investigative journalist as you claim then you arenot an intelligent one or is it the usual lies which when repeated again and again to confuse the people as the truth. Look at the history of Ghana it is not the Ewes nor the NDC that tries to bring this nation to a boil rather the Danquah\Busia tradition from Gold Coast to present Ghana and continually fuelled by people like Victor Owusu , Ken Adjapong and Akufo Ado and company. Please if you want to do this nation any good tell it as it is. Have you heard of Appolo 568 during the Busia administration? Have you heard of the ballot boxes dumped in the Volta river in the pst? I hope you are fully aware of the atrocities of the Kufour regime against Ewes. Infact Justice Kpegah was a personal victim if he is reacting now it is just fair game. He is fighting his own injustices visited on him. I hope all Ewes will fight back the injustices being dished out to them on daily bases through of course the law counts as Salah did againstBusia in the No court Case and noe Kpegah is now trying to do.
Make no mistake this country belongs to all Ghanaians no matter where they come from and all will continue to fight for their rights

Indeed Ghana should allow each region to form an independent government. Ewes can join the GREATER EWE STATE our nationalists are waiting for. Northerners can constitute themselves into another entity and the so called selfish Akans do what they want for themselves.
It is annoying for least productive group controlling all the annals of power and insulting the productive resource rich regions all because of power.

It’s amazing how people draw conclusions from no premises. Why on earth would one consider it civil and apt to comment on an article they have not yet read, irrespective of how irritating, biased or beautiful the title might appear to be?
A great title should induce curiosity. Such captions entice the reader to explore the text in more detail. A heading that encourages curiosity and makes the reader take a closer look at the story ‘sells’ more than any other form of caption. Even though the title of the article was figuratively coined and was meant to be discursive, it was also meant to induce curiosity, which I have every reason to believe, was achieved.

I don't see why Kpegah should count on anyone's assistance in a "nondescript" and senseless fight he started all alone. Now, there is no escape for him; he is tied to it. He must prove to us all he is right in his pretensions ...

They had a healthy debate without insult to anybody or tribe until you came up with this trash.
Stupid fool.Go hide in your cave.
The way things are going we might see in Ghana some Tutsi/Hutu or Kikuyu/Luo bloodfest like in east africa.We pretend too much that we're above it all and all these tribal undertones would never spark a tribal fire in Ghana.D ...

Why this fury? I agree that the title is not appropriate but the content is perfect. The theme is very relevant and we need to encourage writers to adopt such approaches. Some of the authors listed are subtle in bringing fann ...

This is a very easy case to adjudicate. Nana shows up in court without a lawyer but with his certificate. Kpegah is so ashamed he can't find his way home. Or...

If you know Francis Kpegah well, you will know that he is a strong anti Akan. The man simply hate Akans from his days as a judge in Kumasi. Everybody who worked close to him knows that.
This is about two individuals not two tribes.lets get the facts and stop this nonsense.When Nana Konadu challenged Akuffo Addo was it Ashanti's against Akyems?.Stupid fool.

STOP CALLING BOKOR'S NAME KWAME OKOAMPA IS ANTI-EWE APOLOGIST......."STUPIDO FACISTA".
Senseless piece.
IT'S HIGH TYME WE STOP TRIBAL STATEMENTS.WE ARE ALL GHANAIANS FOR GOD SAKE.
Not only his caption was bad, his analysis too was reductionist and bad. Read my comments above.
It is the same thing that Awoonor did in his "Ghana Revolution," (an opportunistic title for a book said to be written befor ...

Hi Andy, I have been trying to get a copy each of those two books of Awoonor but all my efforts have been to no avail. Shockingly, isn't it, in this age of internet and easy access to material!!! Could you, please, tell me wh ...

Well, thank you for your response!
DO NOT LIVE AMONG AKANS THEN
This headline is really really misleading and dangerous.
Akufo-Addo has had his fair share of problems in his life.
He was kicked out of Oxford University for smoking dope, so he did not include it on his CV.
Since then it has been going wrong all along.
He was admitted into Le ...

madness at its best. who told you that Ewes are at war with Akans. Are you hallucinating or what? It you want a caption to attracts readers attention think of something better.
Stop that foolishness.We are all Ghanaians. War mongers should be jailed.Whatever is going on at the supreme court is for the good on the nation.
I read the articles written by Bokor and Okuampah. Why import tribe into this case at all. This is simply a tango between two individuals.You know? Akuffo Addo deserves what is happening to him. We need people like Kpega to t ...

When I recap what our people did to capture political power in 2000 election, it leaves so much distaste in my mouth. Because this time they couldn't repeat those atrocious, devilish and hideous games again, we now LAY THE BL ...

VERY INSIGHTFUL ARTICLE BUT WRONG TITLE.
BECAREFUL OF TITLES
Owusu-Ansah, Emmanuel Sarpong should be advised that Kpegah vs Akufo-Addo does not mean "Ewes at War with Akans".
An investigative journalist, a researcher, an educator and the author of Fourth Phase of Enslavement and In My ...

Mr Kofi Peckham. You seem to have a good attitude. I applaud you.I arrived in London in the seventies, got to why Akufo-Addo was kicked out of Oxford for smoking dope. You bet? Hmmmmmm.Silence is silver.
Just try to listen to news from any media platform on planet earth and you will realise that ethnic strife is the current norm. People who have lived peacefully together for centuries have suddenly realised they are enemies. ...

this is a stupid headlines in the sense that it's the individuals and not the ewes and akans. Who ever wrote this report is a foolish person. He/she is not promoting peace
This headline is very bad. it preaches tribalism. So please remove or change. Thanks.
THE MOST SENSIBLE ARTICLE SO FAR IN THE YEAR.SENSIBLE GUYS LIKE THIS WRITER ARE RARE.KEEP IT UP.
Emmanuel Sarpong Owusu-Sarpong, i should think you are not able to say anything sensible with this head line of your article

And you're pathetic enough to report on it with such a caption. Assess yourself mr journalist
THIS IS A BALANCED AND AN OBJECTIVE WRITE-UP. WE NEED JOURNALISTS LIKE U TO SAVE OUR DEAR COUNTRY.KEEP IT UP AND WRITE OFTEN SO THAT NATION WRECKERS DO NOT OVERPOWER US.
My bro I share ur sentiments, if our elder generation have issues they shd deal with it at their level and stop poisoning the minds of innocent youth with unnecessary tribal spats, At least they owe us that !
EWES are NOT at war with AKANS !
It IS Kpegah vrs Akufo Addo. It is that simple!!How many Ewes say Akufo ADDO is an impostor and banza Lawyer ???Fool.
After 56 years of our independence, it is unfortunate that some Ghanaians still play tribal cards.
We should be more united because we have inter-married. Our Ghanaianness should help in national cohesion but not disunity ...

Ghana eventually will/SHOULD break up on tribal lines. We can not build a nation when leaders run election on ethnic lines.

It is interesting and amazing how people manage to draw conclusions from no premises - commenting on the content of an article without reading it; are you God? What a nation!
Ewes cannot come near Akans in terms of anything.mind you without Akans Those Ewes are nothing in Ghana. Let everybody stay in their region without moving to another region and see if those fuckin Ewes can survive in ghana. F ...

Akadu's poem in question was class based and had nothing to do with ethnicity!
It is quite obvious to me, that about 80% of those who have left abusive comments did not even open the page let alone reading the article.
