Call it karma, or whatever but this dastardly assault and assassination comes as no surprise to discerning people like me. What is surprising is how long it took to begin happening! The calls on perceived opponents of the NDC to kill others, especially Ewes and Gas, trying to instigate Akans to attack others and kill them is party of your pafty credo. The chickens are coming home to roost for you. Only damn hypocrites will deny that!

Ghanaians I urge you all to see this issue for what it is. This is a CRIMINAL act. Pure and Simple. While some allegations have been made by the sister of the deceased, this has to be still investigated and I do hope the perpetrators are brought to justice. Ghanaians I urge you all that for the love of our dear Motherland Ghana, this has nothing to do with Nana Akuffo addo or anybody who is standing for parliament under the auspices of the New Patriotic Party. Ghana our country is on a precipice and the only people who have the knowledge, skills, experience and economic and political competence and perspectives to save Ghana from being wiped off the map of economic prosperity is Nana Akuffo Addo and Dr Bawumia. I can assure you all Ghanaians that Nana Addo and Bawumia will do everything it takes to make Ghana's economy befitting of a country once called the Gold Coast. Unlike the robbers and bandits currently running national affairs, we must be alert to such incidents between now and December 2016 as a lot of these things are likely to happen to take people's mind off the massive theft and gross incompetence that these robbers and bandits have shown. If we love our country and believe Ghana deserves better than the deal she is currently receiving from the robbers and bandits then I urge you all to vote Nana Addo and the NPP parliamentary candidate in your constituency come December 2016. God help us all. Long Live Ghana, Long Live Well-Meaning Ghanaians.

The DCE from the Akan area of the VR was killed not 'cos of political reasons, but rather a dispute over land. And who told you the VR Minister died from poisoning? He died from natural cause, you moron!
You see, I can one day stand at Makola and Kejetia Lorry Park and repeat to your face and sundry everything I put on Ghanaweb and support it? Yes, even in your Manhyia Palace. Can you even do that here in London before me, not to say in Ghana and then to the VR? You see, you are just an unbred, uncouth, dirty bastard!

For now, this should suffice as a response to the public display of your lack of breeding. A proper dzimakpla you are!
Go to Anloga and ask of my mum. The gate of the creche behind the Police Station most probably has her name inscribed on it, as we accepted that she so be honoured for her community improvement efforts. Will ask her when I give her a call tomorrow.
Now, I've told you that I've two wonderful daughters who are both graduates and doing far, better than me in their lives so far, and I am so proud of them.
I sacrificed my own ambition and career ambitions to give them a better upbringing and care. The younger one who wrote the article I posted on Ghanaweb would soon complete a year's teaching assignment in China on the ticket of the British Council. I must ask her to spend a year in Norway to revive and polish her Norwegian since she's into languages and refused to read law, etc. I know she'd prefer going to Korea to better her Korean and she loves it there too. She does brave things I couldn't imagine doing.
Her elder sister, when she completed Sixth Form took a gap year in order to represent her school and England on a year long international research (participants selected from participating countries) in high schools in Sweden, Hungary, Australia, S. Africa and the UK. Apparently, she so much impressed the Prof from Cambridge that he started asking her to accompany him to other countries which wanted to join the programme called Learning School. So she was in some more countries including the US to make presentation with the Prof. When he asked her to accompany him to China, I said no to that, as she was going to miss too many lectures at uni.
It is only in your dirty, sordid mind that you can conjure the kind of dirt you try to throw at me. Were it during the C19th before the Sagrenti War brought a halt to the insanity and mayhem that our ancestors were perpetrating, I'd have asked the Asantehene to give me your head, or pacify me! But since we are in modern times, I shall deal with you and your ilk personally. Here's something for you to be chewing on, dzimakplavi!

“THESE AKANS” AND THEIR HANGERS-ON
The long awaited searchlight on these particular breed of human kind is soon at hand. This is just an interlude to warm you up, WITH SPICE ADDED TO IT. It is opportune in the light of the current consternation caused by the senseless and completely intellectually and academically bankrupt political puke vomited by Prof. Mike Ocquaye, a hanger-on, on us again. Enough! Is Enough!
It has now become normal that when one logs into the comments section of news posts and articles on Ghanaweb with intent to provide what one thinks are sensible comments, or find out what fellow Ghanaians think on the subjects at stake, one is NOT surprised at finding out that some jaded, dirty-minded, foul-mouthed, over-bloated and overrated, jealousy and envy-ridden Akan cyber trolls, have found the news or article as just another opportunity to heap insults and vituperation on Ewes with intent to demean and demonise them. “Northerners” have been added since President Mahama assumed the presidency. So to the Ayigbe this, trokosi that, we are now also greeted with pepeni this, ntafuor that. However, I won’t be concerned about the recent addition here.
For “these Akans,” no doubt some Asantes and others from within the former Asante Kingdom without a history of their own except that of Asante, being subjects, vassals and scions of their slaves, and their hangers-on from among the Fantes they used to war on, enslaved and slaughtered in thousands in the past, everything is about dissing Ewes as dirt and evil impersonated; while proclaiming at the same time that Ewes are dominating them in the civil and the security services besides other unfounded accusations. Some of them had even written books incorporating such accusations. This anti-Ewe vilification and demonisation, as I had shown elsewhere, were simply a fall-back on the virulent anti-Ewe campaign of Busia and his Progress Party during the 1969 General Elections against Gbedema’s National Alliance of Liberals which introduced the Akan/Ewe schism into Ghana’s politics, which is still lingering with us. Afterall, back in Ghana, some of their political leaders within the NPP which they invariably belong to, openly advocate attacking and killing Ewes and they are all so mentally warped that they find nothing wrong with it! And they have the temerity to be condemning xenophobia in S. Africa! Too many people, including Ewes themselves, have become too comfy with these threats and insults which have been going on for decades now!
Some Ewes who think the minds of “these Akans” are impervious to reason have unfortunately also taken to wholesale insult of Asantes in particular, whereas a Bono jerk and a scion of former vassals like Osei Tawiah might be the offender. Or, even someone with origins from the Elmina area, known for their close historical links to the Asantes since the latter got the Notes to the Castles after the defeat of Ntim Gyakari might be the culprit. Of course, they were all known as Asantes before, including even the Denkyira rebels that joined the other Denkyira subjects to overthrow their king. Well, it is the collateral damage innocents suffer in case of conflicts like this; just as all Ewes are subjected to these insults, stereotyping and demonization because of the actions of a few. So, those smug ones who think they are above descending into the mud-pit shall have some mud hitting them too. And when the shit hits the fan, they better take cover! Nobody shall be left unscathed.
Of course, these claims of dominance are not supported by any of the available statistical studies but was inbred into the psyche of “these Akans” by Dr Abrefa Kofi Busia and his Progress Party during the 1969 General Elections, the records of which I had drawn attention to several times by quoting Dennis Austin, even though the memories of that anti-Ewe campaign are indelibly implanted in the minds of some of us who were old enough to know what was going on. They have coined a word for it: “Ewenisation”! BUT then, curiously, they’d claim Ewes envy them (often mentioning Asantes as the major victims) when they are challenged, and often calling on the “brave Asantes” to do their dirty jobs for them! Envy them whaat??? When Ewes were supposed to occupy even ALL the late President Mills’ ministerial posts, as claimed by a Phd holder Kwabena Akurang-Parry, masquerading as Akadu Mensema, and many of “these Akans”, such as Justice Sarpong, were praising him for "telling the truth"??? What truth??? Such warped and convoluted thinking is hailed among them as articles of faith and the eternal truth to guide their sorry lives!
Some go about insulting Ewes as thieves. Now, if the prison population of Ghana is taken, can any one of you prove that Ewes dominate significantly those in prison for stealing? What about Ghanaians imprisoned abroad? Which ethnic group from Ghana predominates; not almost all people from the Akan ethnic group? Who are often cited among the most corrupt in Ghana?
I am sick and tired of this JJC sons of peasants, newly miseducated foolish and ignorant wannabes, constantly insulting we Ewes simply because they think, in their warped and prejudiced minds, that some Ewes have taken what belonged to them, presumed former overlords of what is now Ghana. So can anyone tell me what “these Akans” had which I, Andy C.Y. Kwawukume, a scion of Alfred K. Kwawukume of blessed memory; I, grandson of NC (Nathaniel Cooma) Kwawukume, Court Registrar and Chief of the Native Police of the Eastern Province, Keta, and of course, nephew of Torgbui Sri II (privately known as Cornelius K. Kwawukume), KMAC, OBE, MCE, the first Gold Coaster to be co-opted into the LegCo in 1916, all of us who can trace our ancestry to the leader of all Ewes before they split up way back in history to far back in Nigeria, do not have and I envy? By the way, times have changed and so I have been eking out a living off my own business for over the past ten years in London. Not easy keeping my nose above the raging meltdown but I had given jobs to Sri Lankans, Nigerians and Ghanaians and survived the credit crunch while many didn’t! Hurraayy!
I won’t say I don’t know about how some other Ewes feel, and I speak for myself and family only. I know most don’t have a clue as to how to respond to these abuses. Glibly proclaiming, as the Anlos do, that they are just “dzimakplaviwo” – unbred people (which they are); “gbemelawo” – bush animals (which they are not despite the deceptive appearances of some); “egbe tso mo na wo” – bush has covered their faces (which is debatable); “mi da asi le wo nu” - leave them (the docile and pathetic Don’t Mind Them Mentality Syndrome I have little respect for), are not the appropriate responses at this time in our association with the Akans, even if they were decades back when Ewes were first penetrating Akan areas after WW1. As for many non-Anlo Ewes, especially from northern Eweland, the problem is an Anlo one which is bringing opprobium on all Ewes, and they should deal with it. One of them, the late Dr Kodzi, even wrote a book in the 1990s in which he pointed out the Anlos as culprits to be targeted by “these Akans” in case of the reprisal attacks being threatened from way back in the 1980s, just as that demented man Kennedy Agyapong in Ghana recently advocated on air! Holy smokes! Can “these Akan” Avengers tell the difference between an Anloga man and a man from Hohoe? Neither is the renewed, open calls for secession (no longer a clandestine activity in the VR; perhaps, thanks to the demise of my notorious, secessionist busting uncle?), with same Antor’s divisive slant that derailed the Ewe Unification quest started by Torgbui Sri II in 1915, which will see the Anlo, Tongu and Peki areas left behind in Ghana, the way to go. “These Akans” will jump though with joy, and proclaim: good riddance! They won’t have that satisfaction though. I have what I think are the appropriate responses to them and the situation: the personal and collective. This one is personal - a case study you may call it - heralding the collective which comes later. Komla Dumor also did it his own way with his “Ayigbe Jokes” series on MyJoyFm in the late 1990s, in response to the wholesale abuse of Ewes in the pro-NPP press then, which mortified me tremendously. Something like that on radio in Norway would have seen him and his employers in jail!
So how many of the parents of “these Akans” could afford to buy and use a Mercedes from proceeds of their private enterprises like my late father did from 1960, after parking the Jeep he used in the North, when he and his British partner were liquidating the Gonja Settlement Scheme at Damongo on behalf of the departing colonial authority? Yes, we were there when President Mahama was born, just as two siblings after me at the same Government Hospital, no doubt. Were my father alive, I’d have heard all about the courtship that led to one of my many aunties giving birth to Ibrahim, step-brother to the President. Oh! The Tamakloes are not just members of the Adzorvia Royal Clan founded by my ancestor, Torgbui Sri I but a daughter of Tamakloega himself gave birth to my paternal grandfather. As for the Gonjas, we go a long way back. It is a pity that we haven’t as yet unraveled the saga that led to my own great grandfather reportedly marrying 32 of their women, earning a sub-titleship over what he built up and becoming one of them but that is another story situated at the Daboya area. It is, of course, such stories that shaped some of us while growing up. We don’t look up to anyone; others look up to us, so why on earth must I envy “these wretched Akans”?
So what were the parents and grandfathers of “these Akans” when my father was appointed the first African Administrative Manager of John Holt Bartholomew with over 20 whites underneath him when S. Africa was getting Apartheid? So where were the forebears of “these Akans” when my great, great grandfather, father to Torgbui Sir II who was in the Legislative Council from 1916-42, sat in prime position to negotiate peace with the British after the Sagrenti War? So what do “these Akans” and their hangers-on have in privileges, educational attainment, material well-being, physical looks - name it - which I as an Ewe who writes against the prejudices “these Akans” express against my ethnic group [and others] does not have and I envy? When we are supposed to be monopolizing all the goodies already? Doesn’t make sense! What has happened to the “Ewe hegemony”?
A couple of weeks ago, one of such ignorant fools, O.T. Oheneba, wrote on SIL that had it not been for the largesse of Nkrumah with his grandfather’s cocoa money, I, Andy C.Y. Kwawukume, would have been an illiterate; just as they often blame Nkrumah for allegedly allowing us to be a part of Ghana! You see, that is their images of us, based on their utter, bloody-minded ignorance! They have no clue that the VR was a major grower of cocoa and Ewes also own cocoa farms, besides engaging in other productive activities which add more to our GDP than cocoa! Yes! Growing maize and cassava can be more remunerative in some years than cocoa, and indeed add more to overall agricultural GDP than cocoa! If Adjei Marfo doesn’t that, how can we expect “these Akans” to know? All that reminded me of how much the late Torgbui Tamakloe VI was upset when Kofi Koomson in early 1993 devoted a whole centre spread in his “The Chronicle” insulting with reckless abandon the Tsikatas - fellow members of the royal Adzorvia clan of Anlo and unarguably one of the most educationally accomplished families in Ghana - calling the long deceased mother of Kojo an illiterate woman, blissfully ignorant of the fact that that woman was a Gold Coast icon and an educationist who was the first Gold Coaster to head the Catholic Convent for Girls in Keta, which is now Ola Secondary School in Ho. Yes, the school the wife of President Kufuor attended and learned to speak Ewe in Keta. As Torgbui remarked then, because their parents were illiterates, they just assumed that the parents of all Ewes were illiterates too! The issue is taken up in the collective response; such crass arrogant ignorance must not be allowed to continue to fester and poison the body politic. I therefore devoted a whole chapter to that! In that chapter, I deconstructed what was aptly expressed by no less a person by an Asante thus:
CONFRONTING THE ETHNIC DEMONS, PART 3
NEW MYTHS: WHY ASANTES DISRESEPCT THE GBE AND “NORTHERNERS”
Below we read Marc's reasons, given during exchanges on the Okyeame forum, for why there is "phenomenal disrespect" of the Gbe people and people from the north of Ghana, classified as “Northerners”, among his ethnic group the Asantes, and how he thinks this could or would be eradicated. What follows is my cross-examination (deconstruction) of his views to see if there are any merits to them, and if not, then what are the real reasons behind the disrespect and how to eradicate it.
"Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 13:15:00 +0200 (MET DST)
From: Marc < > Subject: ETHNICITY AND TROUBLES
“The problem of 'disrespect' towards migrant workers in this case, Ewes and people from the north, is phenomenal and indeed happens in any part in the world. Had it been back-migration, in this case Asantes going in large numbers to those areas, that problem would still be there. Migrant workers normally take on the worst jobs and that creates some social barrier, but I think such a problem can only be solved with time when the new generation fight their way up the ladder through education.
This, I think, is where we lack the contributions of sociologists on the net when it comes to such issues. Screaming that Asantes are this or that is meaningless. It only fuels the already loaded tension."
-------------------------------
There are poor Ewes and there are poor Akans. There are educated and uneducated Ewes just as same for Akans. Yes, we have our Adaklu Amangotsidekas so do you also have your wicked adobe hovels with occasional buruli ulcer infected inmates. That much I saw and was horrified when I travelled extensively in parts of the Central, Western and the Ashanti Regions in December 1992 and early 1993 collecting data for my dissertation on the rural banks. As for the Eastern Region, I know it quite well. I did my National Service there. By the way, Akurang-Parry, aka Akadu Mensema, I didn't write on the appalling lack of toilet facilities in Ghana, though it is a topic deserving urgent attention by scholars too! Teachers are now falling into those monstrosities that pass for places of convenience! [Since writing the foregoing, a journalist had written on the disgraceful toilet situation in Ghana.]
Are “these Akans” aware that 33% of present Asantes are descendants of the slaves they kept, that is, those "lucky" not to be sold or killed in grissly rituals, and some of them are Ewe in origins? Are they aware that some ancestors of Ewes even fought on the side of the Asantes in those predatory pre-colonial inter-ethnic, genocidal wars of plunder and loot, including against the English? Indeed, the time to break the “afisem” taboos, etc., has arrived. I am pissed off mightily! These ignoramuses and fools need to be taught some proper history, not that Mansa Musa died in a pair of trousers and Yaa Asantewaa the heroine folk tales (she actually wanted the slave trade to be re-introduced by the British!) we were all fed in basic and secondary schools. As a matter of fact, same refined and polished yarn (anansesem) are taught in our universities.
To the Asantes specifically, from the former Asante Protectorate which included the Brong Ahafo Region, let me tell them that they have indeed made much progress in joining the Civil Service and the security forces, considering the fact that they were not part of the Gold Coast colony until 1946, whereas a large section of the Ewe homeland was from the C19th. They were therefore not recruited into those bodies until after 1946 unlike southern Ewes who were part of the Gold Coast colony decades before the annexation of Asante and the Northern Territories (NT). That's why out of the 29 Gold Coasters who had reached officer ranks in the Army (I have their full bios data), Afrifa was the only officer in the Ghana Army from both present Ash/R and B/A combined on the eve of independence. Northerners, specifically from among the “Frafras”, though not in the colony, were recruited into non-officer positions in both the Army and Police because of their presumed fighting spirit and undoubted loyalty to authority similar to the same beliefs about the Gurkhas of Nepal. Only Col. Bawa who was shot and killed allegedly by Afrifa himself during the 1966 coup made officer rank from the NT, thanks to the fact that he came from the TVT part of it with better education under the Germans. Ewes were recruited for similar reasons but to fill middle level and senior positions too because they had education. Because of the very early missionary activity and formal education in the Ewe areas, which stretch from the Atlantic coast to the Peki/Ho/Hohoe areas, it meant that many Ewes acquired formal education from the early C19th. Even some coastal people, Ewes included, who did not go to school in those days learned to speak European languages through working for white people. And then there were those with European parentages who even had it better, taken to Europe to be educated and returned, or educated by their parents to serve them as clerks, factors, etc, in their businesses.
In fact, those mulattoes, from the Western Region to Angola, ran the slave trade from the coast and formed the core of the earliest educated Africans/Gold Coasters. Yes, the slaves the ancestors of you the Akans used to bring to the coast from the interior to be sold were bought and sold by those people after fattening them up to gain back weight lost on the grueling march to the coast. That's why a former white VC of Legon said the Fantes made more money from the slave trade than the Asantes except that you won’t catch them boasting about how rich they are! Wait until I tell you all about it, bloody-minded ignorant fools! If you are really educated and read, you should have known about that already by the way.
Now, the ignorant fools on Ghanaweb, like the rest of them in Ghana, do not know that trokosi came from among the Adangmes to Eweland. It is thus found along the Volta River in the Tongu Districts where the Adangme fugitives from the Akwamu wars settled among the Agaves and other places in Eweland, to as far as Togo, where those fugitives settled. That's why trokosi is found in the Ada area, which area, by the way, was first settled by the Agaves before the Adas came as fugitives to join them. An examination of the clan origin of the trokosi priests would reveal their Adangme origins. That's why trokosi is not found in the Ewe areas where the Adangmes did not settle for long, specifically, the whole of northern Eweland from Ho, Peki to Hohoe areas [they left the Avatime area where they settled to Agortime]. The northern Ewes therefore have no clue what it is! We in the south know because the Ga-Adangmes settled among us and are now part of our clan system. Only some very few uneducated, particular clan members, mostly with Ga-Adangmes origins, still patronise those trokosi shrines.
The vast majority of Ghanaians, literate or illiterate, are superstitious beyond belief. It is a topic I have been grappling with for over two decades now. It is simply some ignorant and foolish “these Akans” and their hangers-on who believe that all Ewes practise juju and trokosi. That Ewes who are mostly Christians now and, increasingly, Muslims and Buddhist as I found out in 2003, practise traditional religion too can only be claimed by ignorant Morons with capital M. I don’t even believe in the myths found in the Bible and, for that matter, the Qur’an, about a god creating this universe, human beings, the flora and fauna and causing floods and what not! I did not go to “school plenty, plenty”, come from a fourth generation educated background and still have my cosmology and cosmogony rooted at the Weberian primitive, substantive rationalisation level like the mass of you miseducated “these Akans”, your hangers-on and others! I knew that most Ghanaians were/are not civilized as a child in the 1960s before Ken Kuranchie came out of prison for contempt of court and pronounced sweepingly that Ghanaians were not civilized, as if Ghana was ever wrongly classified among the comity of acclaimed developed and civilized nations.
Yes, there was a time Ewes were encouraged to burn the cliché mid-night candle, as we're told education was our cocoa. Many Ewes therefore shined in their studies, leading to their recruitment by the colonial authority and the merchant houses to run their administrations. Upon independence, Ewes were thus among the top elite with experience to take over the positions the whites were vacating. My father and uncles, not to mention a host of clansmen, women and tribesmen, were among those people recruited from the private sector to set up and run the myriad of new projects the CPP started. The 1966 coup saw my father in the role of the Acting Financial Comptroller of the Workers Brigade again from his role as the substantive Deputy from its inception. The incompetent Brit the CPP had recruited again, still under the cloud of white superiority, with my father doing all the work for him to be signing, had deserted post too after getting what he wanted. Some of those CPP Ministers couldn't hold a candle to my father during the colonial era, not to mention white people, and Papa used to be so incensed with their unwise decisions and actions, which included sending that fair complexion man (name withheld) to the house to convince Papa to help them steal public monies! You see, Papa never took a penny home which didn't belong to him; that's why I am writing publicly about it now, even though the Kom Commission Report is there to support me. Those corrupted upstarts thus refused to pay him his full contract entitlements because they said he thought he was rich and so would not share in stolen public money and so did not need the extra money for acting as the head. Even after a number of court judgments in his favour, the full entitlements were not paid before his passing away in 1982! The lawless bastards and nobodies that took over the running of the Ghanaian state have since increased in their numbers! Today, it is thievery and lawlessness that are the badges of honour! That is not how the model colony of the Gold Coast was built by the grand and great fathers of some of us under British supervision.
Now, which dog born you these trolls, you “these Akans”? Where were your great, great grandfathers when the Gold Coast was being formed? Mine were at the negotiating table after leading the battles against the British too! I refuse to be insulted and demonized constantly with reckless abandon by the scions of nonentities and so-called royals of ill-repute alike! Is it because the ancestors of the latter plundered, massacred, kidnapped and sold the relations of some present Ghanaians more than my ancestors did, things which still make you proud today, mentally warped that you are? We sold a few too and is part of our shame, you know? Eweland was not known as the Slave Coast for nothing. Our misfortune was the great cowry inflation of the C19th that turned most of the “hotsuitorwo” (lit. owners of cowries) into paupers when it was over and cowries ceased to be medium of exchange in Africa. Yeah! I know you haven’t heard of this super hyperinflation before but I read long ago that even a very good teacher could only teach about 45% of what a student needs to become educated. I have done my part, start doing yours, bloody fools!
I shall return with the bazookas, as I go on the offensive! I did warn you all repeatedly before.

This is purely a northner-on-northner crime, possibly emanating from within NPP ranks of northners, this how they are known to settle scores. What has this got to do with all-die-be-die? I find this Andy-K way too biased in favour of anything Ewe or NDC, even if it is to their own detriment. Never heard you criticise your people or NDC, unlike Sarpong has done here. When are you going to demand the autopsy report on Atta-Mills? Very ethnocentric, very unfortunate!

You see, how they repeat ethnocentric stereotypical images of others without knowing that they just bigots?
Now, if the Statistical Service in Ghana were even half as good as that of the Philippines, or operating at the level it were when the relations of some of us were assisting the British to build the Gold Coast to the model colony it became, we'd know by just enquring which proportion of the various ethnic groups in Ghana are serving prison terms for murder! But is there soem anecdotal evidence to guide us from what we read in the news daily?
You can try to deny that the violence that is promoted in the NPP by its leaders is responsible for this dastardly action, whether committed by faithful lackeys from the North. After all, those Northern elite supporting the NPP have as heritage centuries of capturing and paying as tributes or selling their own people to the Asantes in particular, and so are just as mentally warped as the rest down south who have been urging killing of orders! I think they are practising before they are unleashed to kill others along their overlords down south! Tweah! Fce the truth about yourselves!
BTW, I am not NDC and don't give a rat tail about them either. Only difference is that they don't go about insulting we Ewes and Northerners like you members of the NPP do.

Akans did not kill Gas , neither did they kill Ewes. That was simply because Akans are too discerning to know the true meaning of Kennedy Agyapong's " kill Gas And Ewes". That sentimental comment by Ken was occasioned by that f**king tribalist, Nii Lantey, who was using some lunatic Ga and Ewe fool-soldiers to beat up Akans who were trying to register to vote in Odododiodio voting district and it's environs. Ursula Owusu narrowly missed a close call to her grave when hired thugs, mostly Gas and Trokosis, stoned and chased her out of Odododiodio. Ken Agyapong was only trying to re-enforce the Moses' biblical "eye For Eye, Teeth For Teeth" decree. It is only useless old fools like you, Andy K and your Atinga-Trokosi leaning NDC, who took Ken's words literally; just to score cheap political points. What is interesting to note here is that, all political hooliganism and killings in Ghana, is on record, mostly perpetrated by either Northerners or Trokosis. The Chereponi and Agbobloshie broad day light killings are still fresh on our minds, the killing of a DCE in Trokosiland still lingers on, Trokosi Anita DeSoso had her day in Atiwa, an NDC MP and a Northerner wants adulterous women to be stoned to death. We have not forgotten " goat is a cow' Baba Jamal ' jihadism' in Akwatia, and the list goes on. What Andy K is failing to realize is that, no Akan would follow the orders of a chief to exhume the dead body of a Moslem and throw it on the street just as Trokosi Togbega Gabusu and his subjects did in Hohoe.

I thought it was Asantes who were called upon by that crazed to do his dirty job, not Akans. Don't shift the goal post.
Discerning, my foot! Only an idiotic Asante who doesn't know anything about Asante history would have heeded. Unfortunately, there are too many of them around these days, and they claim they've been to school. But then, the old men in their villages would have asked them what compensation they were being paid by Agyapong, etc. You see, in the past when Asantes didn't miss a chance to slave raid on and plunder others, when required to go on such mercenary duties, they present a tall list of demands which invariably include supply of gun powder and pellets, rifles (Dane guns), a number of slaves and then some more in tributes into perpetuity to be sold and used as farm hand to take of the children and wives of of those who might be killed on such a dangerous mission. Just ask the people of Dagbon when one section in a chieftaincy dispute asked for help from the Asantes. The conflicts among the Northerners, esp. that b/n the Konkombas and Dagbons and many, are directly linked to what happened centuries ago: raiding those so-called minorities to pay as tribute to the Asantes and sale in the Salaga market. Crazed Agyapong from one of the former vassal states of Asante therefore failed woefully to meet the minimum of conditions to get idiotic and mentally warped Asantes like you and Sarpong to risk your sorry lives in attempts to kill Ewes and Gas.
Btw, no Ewe joined Gas in throwing stones at Ursula. It was an incidence in northern VR which caused the crazed man to lampoon Ewes too into those he wanted Asantes to kill.
Togbega Gabusu did not order the exhumation of the imam. Some reckless young men did so on their own volition.

My fellow, OKATAKYIE SARPONG, the horrific acid attack on Adam Mahama and his sad death is not a random unprovoked attack. It appears someone was bent on revenge against the backdrop of Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong's disrupted Bolga meeting which provoked a furious reaction from NPP activists and the Regional Chairman, who felt alienated. More so, given the boiling anger and tension within the party over Adams Mahama's death, and the likelihood that some Regional and Constituency NPP executives would be uncooperative with Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong as the NPP Chairman and General Secretary, resignation would be a reasonable step. They have made their positions untenable.
Clearly, Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong should resign but it is highly unlikely they'll. Given the circumstances surrounding Adams Mahama's death, I have the feeling they would not 'voluntarily' resign as that would appear they're responsible for Adams Mahama's death as the 'forces' behind the acid attack.

Yaw, the call for their resignation is the surest way to ensure unity in the NPP. Everything point out that majority in the NPP don't like the leadership style of the duo. And it is all too clear to them to show some sense of maturity and resign, for the good and betterment of the party. It is done elsewhere around the globe. Their continue staying in office is a harbinger to a Deeply fragmented NPP lying in wait come 2016 and aftermath. I, for one, supported the election of Akofo and Kwabena but it seems I am on the side of the pretty few faithfuls who still want them to stay in power. In fact my move to support the call for their resignation is why Akoko and Agyapong embark on the tour to the North when there were so much burning issues to be ironed out at the party headquarters. Readers would recall that there was a controversial steering committee meeting held in the absence of the two. So on Afoko's return, some of us expected Afoko and Agyapong to have resolved issues before embarking on any regional tour but I think this was not done. For me, that move alone smack of arrogance . For the best interest of the party, I think they have to lay down their tools and continue to serve the party the best way they could. The NPP has a bright future , and I can assure them they would have their place in paradise under Nana Addo. NPP is the only hope of the Ghanaian. Long live Ghana, long live NPP.

I
My call on Afoko and Agyapong is not based on the fact that they have been convicted of Mahama murder but the cause of his death can be traced by the poor decisions by the two individuals.
We in the Npp family are well aware that the two supported the Alan Kyerematten Npp presidential candidacy and they have the right to support him like others chose to support Nana Akuffo Addo.
The problem a lot of us have with them is that, after Nana Akuffo Addo was elected as the flagbearer, they should have closed ranks and worked with other elected Party officials deemed as Nana Akuffo Addo supporters to achieve the sole aim of the party to get Nana Akuffo Addo elected as the President of Ghana.
I understand that he Akuffo Addo was not their preferred candidate and whatever Akuffo Addo shortcomings are, the Party chose him and we are saddled with him as long as the 2016 election is concerned. Agenda 2020 should not be encouraged in the Party because there is no guarantee if Nana/Bawumiah ticket lose 2016, Npp will chose Alan and win 2020 election.
Whether true or not, the two officials are seen as the ones causing the division in the party and their resignation will open the door to peace in the party and eventual election of Nana Akuffo Addo as the President of Ghana.
If they really love Npp and peace, they should voluntarily relinquish their positions.

I don't think you know the meaning of name calling.

You are like a stranger who went to a funeral and cried crocodile tears weeping more than the bereaved family.
You are Ndc and behaving like you are sympathizing with the elephant family and when we tell you that you tell us to stop naming calling.
What is the name calling? Calling you as Ndc supporter which you are or the name bush doctor which you appropriated for yourself? This is the truth and not name calling unless you don't know what name calling is.

I think those who are calling Kwabena and Afoko shows the know something about the murder to make the two evil in the eyes of public.

The party chairman has the right to organize strategic party meetings at any time anywhere without anybody's consent. If Akuffo Akufo can overlook Afoko who is his number 2 under the party constitution and go with Jake to go and meet Merkel, why can't Afoko also go and do something else?
Had Akufo Addo gone with Afoko abroad instead of Jake, will this have happened?

Why must U take side and condem people positions, categorically the chairman and the General secretary if U really want calm, whiles other known people including U are the main people causing problem in the party. Ah why is it that anyone not in support of Nana Addo is tagged as an enemy, is that how we run a multi party, come on, look at the insult that went to Apraku when he decided to contest Nana Addo, come to think of Wereko Brobbey, Nyaho Tamaklo, Arthur Kenedy and even Kuffour. U and other people around Nana Addo are the problems of the party and U people ve made the party unpleasant and Unpopular ahh
Well said, and a lot of people in the Npp will agree with you. In the interest of the party, they should resign.
Call it karma, or whatever but this dastardly assault and assassination comes as no surprise to discerning people like me. What is surprising is how long it took to begin happening! The calls on perceived opponents of the NDC ...

WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCK OFF AND GO STEAL ANOTHER CAT (OR FUCK YOUR SISTER AGAIN)??
The way the NDC people have started commenting...I am very sure they masterminded it. A desperate party who sees what is going to befall them for looting Ghana.
That will not win you the election. Remember Afoko and agyapong belong to a faction.
They will resign with their followers in June 2016. You know what that means
Yes, their three percent voters will be replaced by the forty percent Npp voters who did not vote.
NDC is behind this, remember they killed agya atta to win power, their dce is dead without any good explanation because some police officials are equally corrupt like the ndc and are covering matters, but the battle is still ...

Stop the name calling and give compelling reasons why afoko and Agyapong should resigns. Your arguments are flawed and fluid in law.

I will be very surprised if the duo are suspended. Interesting to know the basis of their suspension. Adams Mahama hired thugs to attack afoko and Agyapong and yet no action was taken against him.
The leaders of NPP has called for calm, therefore;allow the police to do their jobs.By the way,the party can suspend them because the problem started with them.Thank you.
I disagree. The death of the Adams Mahama has nothing to do with the duo in question. It will be very dangerous to link people to criminals acts with spurt ions hearsay and no evidence.
There was a trouble between them prior to the murder and they can help police to uncover some issues.They cannot work for the party when they are under investigation.That is why I think the best way is to suspend now.Thank yo ...
