Is his name KOBLA or KOMLA???
The name Komla Dumor does not sound Ghanaian to me and was he working as Ghanaian journalist or as a British/Briton?
No offense to anyone, I simply want to know.

Stupid response, Menaye. Komla Dumor spent his life working hard for a British organization. It is a measure of how enslaved mentally some of you are that you want us to worship that kind of "achievement"!!

The man died less than a week ago and here you are dissecting and drawing final conclusions from every single development...
First of all, what would you say or becomes of your premature observation/write-up if Rawlings in fact attends the funeral or shows his respect to late Komla?
Do not forget that JJ Rawlings once embraced Gina Blay much to her own embarrassment because of the numerous negative press that her Daily Guide newspaper renders on the former ( JJ)...
Do not forget that Rawlings vehemently criticized the late Prez Mills yet moved mountains to attend his funeral and paid his respect much to the chargrin of the funeral organizers.
Lest you forget, Rawlings made some damning accusations of the late Kofi Awoonor-Williams, but was still at his funeral...
Even Rawlings hates KUFFOUR with every breath that is within him ( just like I do)....but he did not hesitate to be present when he was invited to the groundbreaking ceremony of Prez Kuffuor's Presidential Library....
Komla Dumor was without a doubt a promising young man ( more than a journalist) but, of the in investigations that you speak, do not forget that Komla worked for the Multimedia establishment which is owned by NPP stalwarts/gurus hence his leaning. Therefore Komla might at that point be unknowingly pursuing an NPP agenda.
Besides, what became of the so called SSNIT scandal that you so much bask in....was it another Mabey vs Johnson (sic)?....again tall allegations while nothing came to the light...just another NPP sponsored brouhaha....
Don't try to be too smart and be the first to speak just to be proven otherwise...

So far the reason why I wrote this article has been mission accomplished. I have not read one comment from any Ewe saying despite the enmity between the two, Rawlings should have joined Ghanaians in mourning Komla but even you have choosen sides accusing Komla of being corrupt. You Ewes just cannot bring yourself to criticize Rawlings even when he is wrong.
Rawlings usually is the first to get infront in sending condolences so what is keeping him mute now? The harm has already been done and Rawlings is a heartless soul.

Did I put those words in your mouth? Actually you accused him too of being stupid by using the words "unknowingly pursuing an NPP agenda."
If NPP sponsored that investigation as you alleged, tell me how you sponsor something? You have to pay money or material to sponsor something and the person doing your bidding is the one you pay the money to so in effect you are saying Komla was an NPP stooge. Think through what you write, ok?

Is Komla being an NDC a surprise since 99% of all Ewes support Ndc?
Hahahahaha, crocodile tears? Get a grip of yourself. You are an Ewe ethnocentric tribalist you don't even believe an Asante can have sympathy for the passing of an Ewe. Did I cry or miss my food? No but I felt sad for him and his family especially at the young age he died.

You ought to shake your head because you are an illiterate because Tribalist and ethnocentric has different meaning if you illiterate don't know.
Being a tribalist in itself is not bad because you can be a sports tribalist. Tribalist means one's love for a group he belongs to and I don't see anything wrong with that, do you? On the other hand, an ethnocentric or ethnocentrism believes his or her tribe is superior to another group.
Below are definitions for the two words for you, you really need it.
(A)
trib·al·ism/?tra?b??l?z?m/ Show Spelled [trahy-buh-liz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1. the customs and beliefs of tribal life and society.
2. strong loyalty to one's own tribe, party, or group.
(B)
eth·no·cen·tric adjective \?eth-n?-?sen-trik\
: having or based on the idea that your own group or culture is better or more important than others
Sorry boy, I knew your academic credentials were suspicious but not this bad.
I guess if I call you moronic idiot you will complain about it too since both mean the same thing.

"tribe" refers to a smaller group while "ethnic" refers to a larger group of people with an identifiable culture...
it's only in Africa does one find the incessant use of the word "tribe" or "tribalism" because that is how we identify ourselves despite the right terminology in most cases being ethnic groups...

Rawlings with Komla DumorINTERVIEW: WHAT RAWLINGS TOLD BBC’S KOMLA DUMOR ON THE VISIT OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TO GHANA – FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2009 (PART ONE, TELEVISION).
.
Jerry Rawlings being interviewed by the BBC's Komla Dumor, Accra, 10 July 2009
KOMLA DUMOR (KD): We are here at the home of former President of Ghana Flt Lt Jerry Rawlings. The man who has led this country for several years. In 1998 he played host to another US President, the 42nd, Bill Clinton. At that time half a million people flooded the streets just to see the US President and this man. He’s been kind enough to invite us to his home and talk about the impending visit of Barack Obama. Thank you very much for being with us Mr President.
Jerry John Rawlings (JJR): You’re welcome.
KD: I’ve been on the streets of Accra and there is some interesting excitement. Obviously the first Black American President to visit Sub-Saharan Africa but there is a distinctly different feel. Do you get that sense that there is less excitement compared to when you were President when Bill Clinton came here?
JJR: It should be an easy answer but I think there is a lot more excitement, not just here but all over the whole world and we feel the same here. But I think there is a problem between the people and the government so this appears to have affected the energy level to some extent…the political energy level.
KD: You think people are not happy with the government so they are not showing enthusiasm for Barack Obama?
JJR: People who are trying to analyse the response think that he may not get the same level of exciting response that Clinton got. But in fact I think that if it were to be raining people will defy the rain to receive him at a place like the Black Star Square [Independence Square]. But I understand because of the rain it’s best to use other spaces so he doesn’t have to be disturbed by the rain.
KD: What do you really believe?
JJR: You know what? As a Ghanaian I welcome him not just for the spirit of this country but I think the man is a welcome phenomenon globally because there has been a very serious drawback in terms of international political morality preceding his emergence and quite frankly I think his emergence clearly is on account of what a charismatic, brilliant and ethical person he is but it’s also a serious indictment of the regime that preceded him. I am saying that the regime that preceded him…in the sense that the unipolar leadership that was provided by Tony Blair and Bush did a lot of damage to the culture of democracy in various places and especially in Africa. South America was able to escape some of it…some pockets of South America but there were those in Africa who actually took advantage of what I call political immorality to become very dictatorial, extremely corrupt, autocratic, etc. So I am saying that even though Ghana was being touted because of our performance, Ghana became a fine country to capture as a country that had made successful economic progress, a country that had given credence to Western multi-party democracy. So we became in a way a captive state for both Tony Blair and Bush to be used as an example of a democratic country. As a good example for the rest of Africa.
KD: What about now, Barack Obama says he’s here because of Ghana’s democracy?
JJR: Of course. He is not a victim of the picture that was drawn by the international media as well as Western countries but the point is that there is a reality. There are two realities. An electoral process, no matter how genuine does not necessarily correspond to a democratic culture or democratic governance. I am saying that this country under the last regime suffered a serious setback but the regime was whitewashed persistently by the Western powers and the Western media. And the people fought hard. In 2004 the election was actually stolen…okay…even though the world pretended that this was not the case. Because the agenda of the Western powers could not suffer a setback with just one regime coming in for only a four-year term so they had to allow an additional four-year term. By the end of the eighth year the people said enough was enough. No matter what they were not going to take it. We all sit here saying there was a 40,000 margin. There was no such thing. The government was seriously rejected. The Western powers knew it, warned Kufuor and his administration that time is up, don’t try to mess around with the figures as others are doing. Kufuor’s regime ignored it. The world knows it but it equally ignored it. It took Nigeria to send General Muktar down to Ghana to warn Kufuor. Don’t mess around with what is going on in Ghana with the figures because it might blow up and if it blows up there might be the domino effect in West Africa so please just hand over and allow the correct figures and let’s have some peace in this country. So in effect what I am saying is that Obama coming to Ghana may not just be an acknowledgment of what appears to be a splendid example of a transitional multi-party at work in Ghana. Much as I appreciate that, much as we welcome that we want him to look a little deeper, to go below the picture that has been drawn. Because if we do not right the injustices of the past it will hound us and quite frankly I am not too sure we will be able to sustain it. In effect in Africa or in some part of Africa you either have a guilty or not guilty government.
KD: Will you tell Mr Obama these things when you meet him?
JJR: I was just telling some body that if I had the chance I will tell him, stay the course but please Mr President we need help to undo the damage that was done under the previous unipolar leadership.
KD: You will be sitting with the former President, Mr John Kufuor who indeed you are criticising and the current President at the same table. I get the sense that it may not be as cordial as it is right now.
JJR: Oh…we will say it in very polite language. Because I want to seek a return of the culture of democracy in this country. And under the leadership of Professor Mills I have no doubt in my mind that we will see the return of true law and order, true governance, integrity, transparency returning back to this country.
KD: And that’s Ghana’s former President Rawlings speaking about the visit of the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama to Ghana.
PART TWO (RADIO)
BBC's Komla Dumor with former President Jerry rawlings, Accra Ghana, July 2009
KD: President Obama arrives in Ghana. It’s a historic feeling. How are you feeling about this?
JJR: I feel good about it. I am not the only one here in Ghana who is sitting here feeling good about the emergence of Obama. Obama’s emergence is something that has been sought after most of all by Americans. The international community has been looking for…there’s been a quest for a restoration of political morality and this is what he represents. Because we’ve gone through a nasty history…in fact Pope John Paul called it the savagery of capitalism that was running side by side with what appeared to be a unipolar leadership that was not going down well. I am saying that political power became purchasable. Anybody could buy political power with money. Political power was losing its dignity, its credentials in terms of integrity. I watched with interest when Dick Cheney, when he was Defence Secretary said America’s interests supersedes, overrides issues of morality. I watched it. I was surprised. And when he became Vice President it did not surprise me that the world went through that sort of decline on account of their attempt to assert their leadership over the globe.
KD: Can Obama do that? Or does he represent a complete change in your view?
JJR: That’s precisely what the man represents and that for me is the beauty of it. That we take close to the precipice we are going to be saved by America itself…America’s own quest to cleanse herself…America’s own quest to give the best of herself. In effect this man represents the best of America.
KD: He’s coming’s to Ghana. The reason why he’s chosen Ghana is almost according to what you said: he says Ghana represents the best of Africa, Ghana’s democracy is flourishing, its electoral system is good, that is why he’s here. You’ve been a president before. Can you give us an insight into just how true that is?
JJR: It is very true because of the transitions that appear to have taken place through electoral processes…okay…the supposed will of the people. But the point is there were undercurrents of other activities that were not known to the outside world. The 2004 election was stolen. I keep saying it and we all know it here but the Western powers suppressed it because they wanted it. Because we stayed in office for almost 18 years from a revolutionary period, which was very democratic into a constitutional rule. But they keep referring to unconstitutional rule as now the democratic rule. In fact the democratic rule was at its height during the period when we had non constitutional government but nonetheless after eighteen years I think the people wanted a change and the change came out to be the multiparty democracy that we had organised and the country saw the worst ever corruption in the history of this country. Not just that; some of the human right violations were all suppressed by the Western media and some of these Western powers under the leadership of Tony Blair and Bush. That is why I am saying that we are not the only ones that…does it surprise you for instance that Chavez and a few other progressive countries emerged in South America. It was in direct…it was in opposition to the global trend, which Africa should also have had because the world had grown tired of the autocratic trend.
KD: When you talk of Ghana’s democracy, I have spoken to Wole Soyinka, the Nobel Prize Laureate and Mo Ibrahim of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. All of them keep saying that Ghana’s democracy works. Are you saying anything different?
JJR: Because they have no idea that the electoral process…the picture that took place in let’s say in 2008 for instance took a lot of work, in spite of their attempt to steal it. You know Professor Mills should have won by close to 65 to 70 per cent but this has been suppressed. That is why we went almost two to three rounds…because they were persisting in trying to steal. That is why we went for a third round. The third round where they lost miserably was a true reflection of the result that had been taking place earlier.
KD: But isn’t that democracy Mr President?
JJR: No! No! No! Call it an electoral victory…it does not necessarily represent good governance or rule of law and democracy. You people must wake up! You have misapplied the terms of the word democracy. We believe in democracy just as it happens in America, in UK, etc, France, etc where people are empowered and George Bush, Tony Blair etc cannot get away with one-tenth of the things that some of us get away with in Africa. Kufuor got away with it and yet we call it democracy? So democracy in effect means you can do whatever you want, trample on the people, kill, violate etc lies, steal and then at the end of the fourth year when you get pushed out and nobody is put before the law. You virtually drive a lawless situation…just because you get pushed out by the solid will of the people and in a subtle way assisted not by Western powers, much as they tried. I’m saying it took Nigeria this time round to warn the Kufuor regime…don’t try it.
KD: The Nigeria that everyone says has a flawed democracy?
JJR: Precisely! I can understand. If they helped maybe they wanted to save their own necks as well. Because if Ghana blows up you know what’s going to happen to neighbouring countries as well.
KD: Are you going to speak to President Obama in such frank terms?
JJR: I will speak in such frank terms to anyone who wants to hear it. I have been saying it since I left office when it was quite clear that this was the agenda of this regime but it appeared the Western media wouldn’t carry it. I did a very lengthy interview, in fact very concise, very precise on this same issue with the CNN but it was suppressed. It was almost as if to say that the agenda is not to tell the true picture of what is going on in Ghana. Listen to me Chief. You know part of the problem with some of these our development partners is that whenever they see things are declining, decaying instead of holding such regimes in check, they seem unable to do so or they try their possible best and it just doesn’t work. So in effect the more they decline in autocratic rule, the killings etc the more frightful they become of leaving office, which is what we saw. And please go and look into the statistics of what they’ve done, what we are running into. I mean it is just mind blowing and yet I think the Western powers feel. When you talk about democracy, you are talking about the rule of law, talking about freedom, justice, etc. As I sit here right now I will tell President Obama if he wants to know that we won the freedom but not the justice. In a way I think this is what is affecting the energy.
KD: What do you want from President Obama?
JJR: I want him to stay the course and assist and bring pressure to bear on countries in a manner that will help us restore the culture of democracy that we’ve almost lost in certain parts. The very loss that the world appears not to know about. I am saying that it’s happened in several others places. Some by margin of five, minus seven etc. But somehow Ghana’s has been suppressed. Now we need to restore the value of democracy that was lost. And it’s not going to be easy because all we appear to have done is to have plucked out the leader, Kufuor. The corrupt machinery is still very much in place and instead of them feeling guilty enough or being weakened, the guilty forces are rather by the day gaining confidence and quite frankly this is what bothers me for our president.
KD: One last quick question. President Rawlings when Bill Clinton came here there was a lot of interaction with the ordinary people. People saw those large crowds around you and around President Clinton. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen when the first African American President comes to Ghana. Are you disappointed?
JJR: Aaahh so you are the one saying it. Thank God for saying it! And that is what…it might impress you to know that the Americans must have noticed…the man enjoys such a huge popularity that the internal political energy is low and we cannot afford not to have this man harnessed, marshal as much popularity as Clinton did and even more. There is something wrong with our domestic situation…the energy, the excitement because…let me put it in African way. When the first wrong or first sin is committed and it’s not dealt with by an institution, by a father, by a new government that is when the rot, the decay begins.
KD: So basically you are saying this government is not acting quickly enough.
JJR: Not only quickly enough but it’s not taking the appropriate actions against the sins that have been committed against this country. In other words or in any African civilised situation, should you leave home as a father and your son or your daughter has slapped your wife, his mother and you come back home and do not take appropriate action to rectify that situation, that’s when the moral decay will begin and that’s what is bothering me and I think that’s what’s bothering the nation. I think this nation has suffered under Kufuor’s corruption. We’ve never seen anything like it and yet it appears we have to be massaging his image.
KD: He’s going to set next to you and next to Presidents Mills and Obama. Will you speak to him?
JJR: For the sake of diplomacy and international whatever it is I will have to with difficulty smile.
KD: Mr President, thank you very much.
JJR: You are most welcome.

If Dumor is Anlo, then he probably should have been called Kobla which is the Anlo rendition. The Ewes (the real Ewes - those from Ho to Hohoe) say exclusively Komla. They do not say Kobla. But a few Anlos also say Komla which I think Dumor also took. The most prominent Anlo who was called Komla is, of course, Afro Gbede - Komla Agbeli Gbedema, leader of NAL during the Second Republic and Nkrumah's one time Finance Minister and CPP ace.
Perhaps Dumor has some northern Ewe blood in him. His middle name Afeke may also be the Anglicized spelling of a typically Ewe name - pronounced in a way that only Ewes can. The Afeke should really sound like the f in Aflao if Aflao is correctly pronounced.
I've noticed that all three of the late Dumor's children have typically Ewe names but he was careful to choose Ewe names that non-Ewes can pronounce without difficulty. Elinam Makafui, Elorm Efadzinam, and Emefa Araba can all be easily pronounced by non-Ewes too. And as is typical with such Ewe names, they have meanings that anybody can immediately understand. They say the wife's name is Kwansema which is not Ewe. Is it Fanti? Which explains the Araba in the last child's name.
Well, what, really, is in a name? A rose by any other name will smell as sweet... So let it be with Komla. Whether it should be Kobla or Komla doesn't matter any more... May he find perfect peace wherever he is. Aamen.
As for Rawlings, hmmmmm. Who can really understand that man? Perhaps he doesn't understand himself either!

Moses,
A good explanation but you forgot or did not know that his home town is Aflao and the pervasive dominance of that area by the Ge-nyis (for the uninitiated, people from Ga and Anyi/Fante origins) meant that they also say Komla for Kobla, just as you'd find in Togo across the border. There, you may find a variant written as "Komlan."
It is a pity that in spite of Komla Agbeli Gbedema, some should be wondering about his name and wondering if he was a Ghanaian.

It is also strange that most of the Northern Ewes have either Ewe, Akan, or Guan sounding names. Most of them also speak Twi and Guan as a second language in some of the Northern Volta though they all speak the Northern Ewe dialect fluently.

To refer to someone being an Ewe is no different from referring to someone as an Akan. Ewes like Akans have sub-groups, and because of those sub-groups, you in turn have dialects. Ewe-Dome is simply an Ewe sub-group.

The issue is not about the name Dumor. It is about whether it should be Komla or Kobla and the answer to that is that it is both. Andy added another variant - Komlan which I think is mainly due to the way the French trained Togolese think French orthography should let them spell the name. They have similar variants on the other day names too.
Yes, all the members of that ethnic group are called Ewes. But note that in Ghana, the name "Ewe" is a generic term used to denote the ethnic group for the sake of convenience. The Anlos, strictly speaking, call themselves "Anlo/Anloawo". They don't call themselves "Eweawo". These days you see people saying "Anlo-Ewe". That is also a term the Anlos do not use to refer to themselves traditionally even though Andy does so I think for the sake of non-Ewe Ghanaian. The same way Someawo, Tongu, etc call themselves that TRADITIONALLY, not Ewes.
It is the Ewes from Ho to Hohoe who call themselves, again traditionally, "Eweawo". (That is why I referred to them roughly as the "real" Ewes - not that they are more Ewe than the rest. No.) These "Eweawo" call the Anlos "Anloawo". They don't call them Ewes. The Anlos, in turn, call the "Eweawo" "Ewedome" a formulation which these other Ewes do not use to refer to themselves. (Some may not even quite like that term - what are they in the "dome" of? I think Andy has an explanation of how this term came to be).
The bottom line is that all these people belong to one stock even though the language has split into so many different variants. Ewegbe (Ewe language) may not be the biggest in Ghana but it is the language with the greatest number of variants - far more than can be found in the Akan group.
This is getting too long. Come again, wigit, if you want to continue the discussion.
And I hope Andy weighs in on this.

Well, I am weighing in very much reluctantly. I have addressed exhaustively most of the issues raised so in a series which had been waiting on ice for an opportune time for over a year now. I don't want to jump the gun but it appears certain things I've taken for granted needed dwelling too! E.g., the origin and meaning of the name "Ewe".
In spite of the new esoteric claims your read or hear about linking it to some Jewish derivation or what not, it means nothing more than a "valley", derived from the geographical feature where the Ewes started settling, from Togo to Ghana - the mountains and valleys stretching from Ghana to Togo- after they left Ketu! Period! That's why there is a town in Town called Ewe, which is supposed to be the first place to get such a name.
Ewedome simply mean "those in the valley", which Anlos used to refer to their kins who settled in that mountainous area, even though they themselves say use "Weme" to refer to their geographical, location. You'd hear references to people by elderly Anlos as Wegotorwo, etc., who are also members of the Dorgborwo group (other is Nyigbowo), the name that southern Ewe speakers in Ghana use to refer to themselves collectively, not as Anlos or Agaves, some of whom broke away very early, btw. Even in Anloga, old people I knew in the '60s resented being referred to as Anlotor. You'd be pointedly told that, "we're Dorgborwo, not Anlotorwo". Well, they are now all dead, so I can "safely" write "Anlo-Ewe" in order to make it easier for some people to understand the delineations which have occurred.:-)
Well, we have to blame the white people for starting the tradition by calling us "Awunas", after a corruption of Anloga, our capital. If those from Anloga resented it, you can imagine the friction it generates when others not from the other 36 original Anlo towns are thus referred to. I wouldn't make the mistake and refer to someone from Woe or Whuti, the two towns bordering Anloga, east and west respectively, as Anlotor. But it has become acceptable to say "mie Anlowo", we Anlos, in recognition of that singular action of Torgbui Wenya which "temporarily" halted the eastward migration of the southern Dorgborwo.
On the query why the Weme Eweawo or the northern Ewes of Ghana speak several languages, it is due to the fact that that area comprise of several autochthonous linguistic groups pre-dating the arrival of the Ewes and some Ga-Adangme and Akan groups who also came later. Dealt with that exhaustively in my piece. So not all of them are originally, ethnically Ewes even though they speak now, besides their dialects.

What is your problem!!! Leave JJ Rawlings alone or you face the wrath of mother nature!!! Why should the glorious and strongman JJ Rawlings who ruled Ghana efficiently and successfully for over 19 years act and satisfy your akward remote control thinking!!
I was laughing when you mentioned you were going to do a research that has no aim and philosophical underpinnings??
What then was your research design and purported objectives before you went on the wild goose! After you admitted to your ramshackle "research" failed to stand the test of time, you shamefully consulted yourself who again became the bastion of the stuff you went out looking for!! Are you serious!! Most of you are cowards of the highest order!! Where were you when JJ ruled Ghana in no secrecy?? So you had a biased mind field to unleash in the usual empty and fetid rumours that you and your irk spew here!! I thought Ghana with its pool of intelligentsia and cadre corps spread all over the world will in no doubt disallow buffoons who hijack this important forum for mudslinging of our countries role models and heroes who through dirty gossips, attempt always in my judgement, to twist things in their coconuts and try to impose it on the poor Ghanaians!! If your "research" that is supposed to use rigorous scientific methodological approach to derive your findings and for that matter your results are embed with anachronisms of sheer envy and nhatred for the Ewes or at least some of them, why use rumour mongering to assume the scientificity of your findings!! Please we are tired of your Twi/English!! Today i'm not gonna mark your language which lacks the rigour of lexis and structure, its offensive morphological connections with a multitude of faceless grammmatical inexactitudes!!!
So, do you think, Sarpong or do you hallucinate that JJ of all will behave the way you perceive him to do?
Like it or not he ruled over 19 years but what corruption charges do you have against him???
So if your alleged "mansion" built in Northern Ireland is something to go by, why wouldn't you do more investigations to be able to find out the transparent truth before you try to dessuade us into thinking lousely as you!! Whose time are you wasting!!! Some of you think that Ghana belongs to your parents and cronies so anyone out those tribal and cabal affiliastions must be aimed at in the mafia fashion!!! It will never EVER resonate in Ghana!! Leave JJ Rawlings alone if you have nothing concrete and convincing to write on!! Ghana has problems of half educated and dangerous guys who assume a bloated ego but which hinges on emptiness!! Can you research on why Kuffour, the former President and a member of the NPP should give 5% of Ghana Oil shares to 3 personal friends of his and the whole country of over 25 million people to be sharing just 13%. Does it make any sense to you??? You coward critic of JJ and other well meaning Ewes that you envy and hate for no apparent reason!!! Please Investigate and let the reading public know why Ghanaians should be treated that way?? And if you are bold, you investigate why the Ghana Oil Drill ship was sold at all?? And find out why the rest of the money - about $3.5 was not paid back into government coffers before the NPP left office!! I will have advocated for well-meaning Ghanaians be more humble on this net or forum when they write to the reading public as we are not anyone's children to comply to anyone's evil desire or whims and caprices in defaming innocent people who don't even have the time to read the gabbage we spew on them here!! The doors to the courts have never ever been closed! Not even to the vexacious and hollow 2012 Election Petitions!! Which was so nonsensical and very irritating if not resource throwing away with NPP's JSS lawyers to meet the finest cream of the Ghanaian personalioties of the jurisprudence and epistemological law, not forgeting Tsatsu them's!!!

Rawliays I wish I can slap his head off. Komla had no interest in any of the politics in Ghana so he worked for this and that is full of shit. From what kuffour said komla has turned down his proposal before. He was just a neutral person who was choking the thieves with questions they were not able to answer.kwesi Pratt is also one greedy self made journalist still struggle under the rock so he want to vent on komla. Am sure if komla were here most of this ass kisser would just want to meet him and shake him. Komla you were one in Ghanaian history,a through son of the soil. We have lost a gem. For those fufu belly men,they should get ready for the day they will die and we will remember them of their deeds in Ghana.

Not everybody mourns everybody's death. Stop trying to start trouble.
It is just strange Rawlings who is always the first to send condolences as he did for Awonoor has not been heard.
Is his name KOBLA or KOMLA???
The name Komla Dumor does not sound Ghanaian to me and was he working as Ghanaian journalist or as a British/Briton?
No offense to anyone, I simply want to know.
Foolish and stupid question Ewurade Kasa
Stupid response, Menaye. Komla Dumor spent his life working hard for a British organization. It is a measure of how enslaved mentally some of you are that you want us to worship that kind of "achievement"!!

why do you people want to use komla dumor's death for your selfish political gains. instead of you mourning you are arguing. fools. you will not turn into stones and trees and some of you may follow komla soon if you dont st ...

Did you forget to take your medicine?
Andy can you ellaborate on this? Why are Northern Ewes usually referred to as "Ewedome" meaning anything from middle Ewes, in between Ewes, Half baked Ewes etc? Some even say they are not proper Ewes or Ewes at all yet they a ...

To refer to someone being an Ewe is no different from referring to someone as an Akan. Ewes like Akans have sub-groups, and because of those sub-groups, you in turn have dialects. Ewe-Dome is simply an Ewe sub-group.
Most Ghanaians have European names and I have never heard anybody questioning the fallacy of it. Why do some of these people think that it is questionable for Komla Dumor to have a particular African name?
The Guans you are referring to are from the the Anum-Boso sub group and their dialect has been heavily influenced by the Ewedome sub-group of the Ewes
Moses dont confuse anybody Dumor is an Ewe name not exclusively anlo name. Who are Anlos/Ewes ?.Ewes are the ethnic group that migrated from notsie in the Rep of Benin and settled in the volta region and part of Togo. The uni ...

Have lots of great friends.
The issue is not about the name Dumor. It is about whether it should be Komla or Kobla and the answer to that is that it is both. Andy added another variant - Komlan which I think is mainly due to the way the French trained T ...

It does not sound Ghanaian or it does not sound Akan? Ghana is a multi ethno-linguistic society. I highly doubt you are familiar with all of them
the internet is full of info, why dont you research it yourself
You did not add the Selassi Djentu and Rawlings' daughter relationship case that ended with Nana Konadu ordering that an identification hair cut be given to Selassi.Komla Dumor went to the defence of Djentu's family that did ...

This Sarpong guy seems not to get it right anytime he writes. He carried his npp garment into the fray and thinks nobody can see through his political chicanery
Kwasia, Ama what a senseless statement to make.
You call him illustrious son of Ghana just because he left his native land to seek better life somewhere.When are we going to be serious as a nation?Because he worked at the BBC does not make him better than the numerous j ...

Sorry, the Author has not exhausted the use of the word 'illustrious', you can also use it for whoever you want.
I want to kn kwow. Is his name KOBLA or KOMLA???
The name Komla Dumor does not sound Ghanaian to me and was he working as Ghanaian journalist or as a British/Briton?
No offense to anyone, I simply want to know.
Your silly query has been answered very well above by Moses. Why repeat it here?
You certainly don't know about what names are Ghanaian, so what makes you to think you are an authority to make such a pronouncement on his n ...

Take it or leave it Komla Dumor was intelligent than Rawlings and his entire family,he also did better than the latter just at 41.Komla was also not materialistic and did not steal anybody/state property.
But he ruled over your father and mother for all most twenty (20)years.....Foooooool.
any fool little bit smarter than rawlings with gun can rule ghana for eternity considering the timidity and sycophancy of ghanaians.
FCUK RAWLINGS GUAN...WHAT DID HE DO FOR GHANA IN 20 FUCKING AWONA YEARS? ABOWA GUAN...MAFIA DON PUSSI
sarpong or whatever you call yourself, get it in your sand filled head that Rawlings is not a funeral loving Asanteni like you. Asantes are noted for their love for corpse. You are an idiot with chimp face.
Hahahaha, I guess all those who have expressed their condolenses are Ashantis, you inferiority complexed trokosi moron.
Asanteni aboa. Do you know your father? If your height is above 5:4" then definitely your father is from the north. One of your women once beg me to impregnate her because his husband look like pigmy with red protuding eyes. ...

JJ loves bloodshed. Only murder, shitbombing and character assassination excites him.

The man is evil.
He cannot relate to those with pure heart and with integrity like KD

Hahahaha, I guess you are trokosi and "intelligent" that is why you skunks practice incest as culture by fucking your own daughters and making babies with them.
tetebea,is that all you got about ashantis?
Is it compulsory? This is a witch hunt and totally baseless article.
Don't you bastard think it's strange Rawlings has not said anything about Komla? He is always the first to hear from when tragedy struck.
we realy lost a great peson is not the condolences would not bring him back stop the insults and let think if we would get somebody like him.one people one nation.
Really? I am tired too of this Komla issue so if condolences will not bring him back, then let's move on, we heard enough of this death.
Anyway, where is the insults?
JJ has the right to do whatever he wishes as long as he did not step on anyone.
When JJ contributed his condolences of Atta Mills death, you people accused him of killing Mills. So leave him alone.
What is your problem!!! Leave JJ Rawlings alone or you face the wrath of mother nature!!! Why should the glorious and strongman JJ Rawlings who ruled Ghana efficiently and successfully for over 19 years act and satisfy your a ...

Fuck Komla Dumor et al. So he worked for a British institution, the BBC and helped to forward a Western agenda, and so what?
Idiot. Wo Maame twe!.
Kwaseaba, abi truth hurts? What the hell was he doing working for the BBC and pretending the BBC served the interests of Africans. Of course you mentally emaciated fool won't understand, will you?
No wonder they don't respect us. Why should we be celebrating his life for the work he did for the Bullcrap Broadcasting Corporation? Jokers! All those who have been making him into an icon are all delusional.

You are stupid
I will chalk your comment to the affliction of the trokosi virus.
You know that very often when Mr. Rawlings opens his mouth to pay tribute, he ends up fouling somebody so why goad him? A child who doesn't allow his mother to sleep....
Hahahaha, didn't know you have it in you like that.
I knew you guys will not let me Sleep either.Anytime you bait Rawlings you should be ready for his denizens. I am ready for them.
Rawlings is a stupid man. Did he expected one of his daughters to have married komla? Komla was not the type that was about flashy women,he was a dedicated man.That would have been a joke. Rawliays is looser just like the st ...
