Obviously because the Daily Guide Reporters are also culpable, they failed to mention the fact that anybody who claims to be or is a believer in this mumbo-jumbo about witches and wizards is equally a potential or actual mental patient.
Instead of educating the public on the myriad of reasons why any person can succumb to mental depression and behave weirdly in public and therefore needs compassion instead of being lynched on the basis of sheer stupidity, our cheap journalists rather add fuel to the raging fire of terminal ignorance in this country.
With the kind of leaders we have been punished with in the last 50 odd years, it should not surprise anyone how we have depreciated to the standards of a failed state.

None of the witchcraft baloney will hold up to scrutiny. To label anybody from a whole lot of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or dementia as a witch or wizard is way too easy. That is what some of us say when we don't know or understand what we are dealing with, and in the interim subject such psychos to neglect or abuse instead of helping them. Send the poor man to the hospital not a police station.
I also wrote in response to another person that:
The newspaper can help us disprove one or two things very quickly. The man is said to have borrowed the two puffy ........breasts .......from his 16-year- old granddaughter and that he normally borrows them for his night activities. Now that we have him "exposed" in broad daylight, we should assume he hasn't gotten back to put the breasts back to where he borrowed them from. Can we therefore go and fact check with the said granddaughter to see if her chest is missing some two puffy breasts?
What most people don't know is that some men develop breasts later on in life. Medical reports are full of such occurrences. It is called Gynecomastia. "Gynecomastia is triggered by a decrease in the amount of the hormone testosterone compared with estrogen. The prevalence of gynecomastia peaks between the ages of 50 and 80. At least one in four men are affected during this time (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gynecomastia/DS00850/DSECTION=causes)."
The report goes on to indicate that besides "steroids and androgens, gynecomastia can be triggered by malnutrition and starvation. When your body is deprived of adequate nutrition, testosterone levels drop, but estrogen levels remain constant, causing a hormonal imbalance".

Andy, I was shocked that the Daily Graphic reported the story without trying to educate its readers that the poor old man has a mental problem. I posted a comment that the man is not whatever he claimed to be but looking at his age, he is suffering from dementia. I also added that the appearance of small breasts that looked like undeveloped female breasts are from drastic weight loss as a result of malnutrition or "kwashioko". The man must have had a broad chest or even been a big person. As a result of the drastic weight loss his broad chest sagged and therefore the appearance of what looked like undeveloped female breasts.
How can Ghana develop and make progress if a national daily paper will report such absurdities without an attempt to educate the population.
Again, yesterday I put my laptop on Adom Tv and some pastor or holy man was preaching. He was telling a story about a dream regarding a shop owner, (a woman) and a snake swallowing money (the daily sales) of the shop owner. I felt physically sick and wished I was there to challenge him. What sort of nonsense was that? The placed was packed. I just turned to Joy News. I am sure the pastor would make a fortune from women who own shops after the sermon, so he can protect their businesses. Our people lacked knowledge

Kofi,
I've been both physically sick and mentally troubled since the 1990s when I realised the extent this abject superstition had eaten into the psyche of Ghanaians/Africans. I've been fighting a losing battle against it since then, as you might be aware.
Luckily, some few Ghanaians have retained their sanity too and formed the Ghana Humanist Association, just like other sane Africans were doing. Let us join hands to support them. Their link is

"You'll have to go to the wizard in Ghana, because I can't help you," says the wizard.
The next day, an elephant comes in with a pink penis and asks the wizard to make it gray.
Once again, the wizard says, "You'll have to go to the wizard in Ghana."
"How do I get there?"
"Oh, it's easy -- just follow the yellow-dick toad."

NO THEY ARE NOT BASED ON TRUE EVENTS.
UNICORNS, MERMAIDS, GNOMES, FAIRIES AND SANTACLAUS ARE NOT REAL. EVERY INTELLIGENT PERSON KNOWS THAT. WITCHES ARE NOT REAL. THERE IS ABSOUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT WITCHES ARE REAL. NO PROOF, NO EVIDENCE.
but what about all those castles scattered all over Europe? The atrocities committed there are real!
PLEASE READ A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THESE CASTLES. DO SOME RESEARCH AND THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THERE IS INFO GALORE OUT THERE. STOP DREAMING.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. GIVE US SOME EVIDENCE. WITCHCRAFT IS FALSE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE VAMPIRES AND CAN LIVE FOR 300 YRS. BUT IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE? NOOOOOOO! NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE. IT IS ALL SUPERSTITON.

Ghosts, spirits, angels, Imaginary/vaporized gods, dead white man coming back to save black people, witches, wizards, etc. belong in the same category of "BELIEF". Belief systems were put in place as a control mechanism, to keep humans on the instinctive/sub-human level.
Humans and animals are closely related, what differentiates humans from animals is " CONSCIENCNESS", humans are instinctive, but humans also have the ability to think, analyze, and scientifically process information. Unlike humans, animals operate solely on instinct.
The job of the controllers of society, is to keep the masses permanently on the instinctive/animal level, by replacing reality with mythology in all aspects of life, and creating in the people a type of mental retardation where "BELIEF" becomes primary and "FACTS/EVIDENCE" becomes secondary/unimportant.
This type of control mechanism has been used globally, some people who are suffering from different levels of inferiority complexes, usually infer that superstition only exist in Africa, such folks need to objectively study world history/ancient and modern.

Hello Rev. Dr. Bonsu, did you ever hear of Mark Doutroux, the Belgian? Please find out. What about the Loch Ness monster in UK? Some visitors today are coming out with proof as having seen it. You said every intelligent person knows that. However it takes the same intelligent person to have researched very deep to come out with some of these findings.
I will stop dreaming. Fine, but I didn’t bring about the Mark Doutroux affair in Balgium! Newsweek magazine did an extensive story on it and revealed that this evil guy was kidnapping children with the connivance of top officials in government and using them for some serious rituals, which took place in those same castle that you are asking me to research on.
I believe in agreeing to disagree, but please go deep into European history. It doesn’t smell good at all. There are witchcraft schools and assemblies all over Britain today as we speak (we may speak later). You see Rev. Dr. These issues in Europe are very close guarded secrets until some nut who cannot bear it anymore comes out with it. Talking about evidence. You know I can go into something very evil like using my child for a ritual and keep it a secret forever. By the time it is uncovered, I will be dead for hundreds of years, then it will be made to look like fiction, but it happened. This is happened in Ghana when our colonial masters will ask for the renovation of some of the castles along our coast by donating some good cash. They come down as museum experts and ask for certain portions of the castle to be demolished and replaced with some artifacts, hence hiding that portion in history. This happened in Elmina!!
Rev. Father Hawkings, the captain of one of the first slave ships used to rape very young slave girls on his ship with a bible hanging on his bedstead. Since you are in the US, you can find out, but with some difficulty since the white man will not expose such things for you to hate him.
With regards to shape shifting, I believe you have not heard of it. The first shape shifting story I read about was not in Africa, but right there in the US where you happen to be. Rev Dr. research is not just picking a book from the library, going through and thinking “well so that is it!” You at times have to research at the peril of your life. That is why so many journalists have been murdered. This has taken place right there in the US where you are! If the bible talks about powers of darkness, principalities, etc. I beg to ask as Rev. Dr which of these have you been confronted with? Why do we pray? Obviously, not for success alone.

DUTROUX IS NOT A WITCH. HE IS A SERIAL KILLER, A SICK, DEMENTED PERSON. THERE ARE MANY SICK KILLERS IN THE WORLD. BUT THAT IS NOT SIMILAR TO A PERSON FLYING AT NIGHT. WE HAVE AMPLE PROOF OF SERIAL KILLERS BUT NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE REGARDING WITCHES. NOT EVEN ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE.
What about the Loch Ness monster in UK? Some visitors today are coming out with proof as having seen it.
IF THERE IS A LIVING MONSTER IN THE LAKE, FINE. BUT IS IT A SUPERNATURAL CREATURE? THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. AN UNIDENTIFIED CREATURE IN THE LAKE? THAT IS POSSIBLE. THERE IS NOTHING SUPERNATUURAL ABOUT THAT. IT COULD BE AN UNDISCOVERED ANIMAL SPECIES, EVEN THOUGH I DOUBT IT.
However it takes the same intelligent person to have researched very deep to come out with some of these findings.
THERE ARE NO FINDINGS ABOUT WITCHES. ALL THE FINDINGS TELL US THAT WITCHES ARE NOT REAL. NO HUMAN CAN FLY ON A BROOMSTICK. IT IS NOTHING BUT SUPERSTITITON. 1000S OF SO-CALLED WITCHES WERE KILLED IN EUROPE. ALL OF THEM WERE POWERLESS, INNOCENT PEOPLE. TODAY EUROPE IS ASHAMED OF THAT PAST. IT IS IN EVERY HISTORY BOOK AS THE MOST STUPID PERIOD IN EUROPEAN HISTORY.
I will stop dreaming. Fine, but I didn’t bring about the Mark Doutroux affair in Balgium!

Newsweek magazine did an extensive story on it and revealed that this evil guy was kidnapping children with the connivance of top officials in government and using them for some serious rituals, which took place in those same castle that you are asking me to research on.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SEX WITH LITTLE CHILDREN. IT IS A MENTAL SICKNESS. SOME KILL FOR RITUALS, IT IS ALSO THE WORK OF MENTALLY DERANGED INDIVIDUALS. SOME CLAIM TO BE VAMPIRES AND DRINK HUMAN BLOOD AND CLAIM THEY CAN LIVE UP TO 300 YRS. THE TRUTH IS THEY CANNOT LIVE UP TO 300YRS, HUMANS CANNOT FLY AS WITCHES. IT IS ALL SUPERSTITION.
please go deep into European history. It doesn’t smell good at all.
I HAVE STUDIED EUROPEAN HISTORY. THEY DID SOME CRAZY EVIL THINGS DURING THE INQUISITION BUT IT IS ALL SUPERSTITIOUS STUFF. ALL THE WITCHES THEY KILLED WERE INNOCENT PEOPLE. IT WAS THE DARK DAYS OF EUROPE. THEY KNOW TODAY IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE.
There are witchcraft schools and assemblies all over Britain today as we speak (we may speak later).
I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WITCHCRAFT SCHOOLS. NOBODY CAN FLY IN THOSE SCOOLS. NOT ONE SIMGLE STUENT IN THOSE SCHOOLS CAN FLY ON A BROOM, NOT EVEN THE PROFESSORS. IT IS MORE ANTHROPOLOGICAL THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE SCHOOLS CANNOT PERFORM ANYTHING SUPERNATURAL.
You see Rev. Dr. These issues in Europe are very close guarded secrets until some nut who cannot bear it anymore comes out with it.
THERE ARE NO WITCHES OR FAIRIES OR GNOMES OR TROLLS OR MERMAIDS. ALL EUROPEANS KNOW THIS. IT IS ALL SUPERSTITION OF THE PAST, LIKE IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY. THERE IS NO PROOF THAT ANY OF THIS IS REAL.
Talking about evidence. You know I can go into something very evil like using my child for a ritual and keep it a secret forever.
RITAULS ARE REAL. THE ISSUE IS NOT THE RITAULS. THE ISSUE IS THE RESULTS. IF YOU DO THE RITUALS AND BELIEVE YOU CAN FLY, CAN YOU FLY? IF YOU KILL A CHILD TO WIN THE FIFA WORLD CUP, CAN YOU WIN THE WORLD CUP BECAUSE OF THE RITUAL. MY POINT IS THE RITUALS PRODUCE NO TANGIBLE RESULTS. IT IS ALL SUPERSTITION. JUJU HAS NO RESULTS. WITCHCRAFT RITUALS PRODUCE NO RESULTS.
This is happened in Ghana when our colonial masters will ask for the renovation of some of the castles along our coast by donating some good cash.
JUST HEARSAY. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. DONT BELIEVE ALL YOU HEAR. THERE IS SO MANY STORIES OUT THERE.
They come down as museum experts and ask for certain portions of the castle to be demolished and replaced with some artifacts, hence hiding that portion in history. This happened in Elmina!!
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WITCHCRAFT. IT IS ALL STORIES PEOPLE TELL. NO EVIDENCE, NO PROOF.
Rev. Father Hawkings, the captain of one of the first slave ships used to rape very young slave girls on his ship with a bible hanging on his bedstead.
YES, PEOPLE HAVE COMMITED THE MOST HEINOUS CRIMES AND CONTINUE TO DO SO TODAY. IT IS NOTHING SUPERNATURAL. THE MAN DID NOT FLY LIKE A BIRD. HITLER WAS EVIL, HE KILLED MILLIONS. BUT THERE IS NOTHING SUPERNATURAL THERE. HE DID NOT FLY ON A BROOMSTICK.
With regards to shape shifting, I believe you have not heard of it.
HEARING OF IT DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE. YOU NEED EVIDENCE, YOU NEE PROOF. OR ELSE YOU WILL BELIEVE SOME CRAZY STORIES.
The first shape shifting story I read about was not in Africa, but right there in the US
AND WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? ANY VIDEOS OR PHOTOS OR INDEPENDENT STUDIES? OR IT IS JUST A STORY? WE CANNOT GO BY UNPROVEN STORIES. WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STORIES, BUT THE STORIES FALL APART WHEN YOU DEMAND EVIDENCE.
You at times have to research at the peril of your life. That is why so many journalists have been murdered.
THERE IS STILL NO SINGLE EVIDENCE THAT WITCHES ARE REAL. OF ALL THE 1000S OF STORIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. NOT ONE SINGLE FLYING PERSON, NOT ONE SINGLE VIDEO OF ALL THE MILLIONS OF VIDEOS. IT IS SUPERSTITION AND NOTHING ELSE, MY BROTHER.
This has taken place right there in the US where you are!
RIGHT HERE IN THE USA, SO-CALLED WITCHES WERE KILLED IN SALEM , MA. THE GOVT HAD TO APOLOGIZE LATER BECAUSE ALL THE PEOPLE KILLED WERE INNOCENT POOR PEOPLE. HAVE YOU EVER ASKED WHY ALL PEOPLE ACCUSED OF BEING WITCHES ARE ALWAYS POOR, OLD AND OWERLESS? WHY 99% OF THE CASES ARE IN POOR, SEMI-LITERATE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES?
If the bible talks about powers of darkness, principalities,
MANY CHRISTIANS MISUNDERSTAND THIS VERSE. THE POWERS OF DARKNESS ARE IN OUR HEADS. ALL THE EVIL IN THIS WORLD COMES FROM US, NOT WITCHES OR MAMI WATA OR POOR OLD GRANDMOTHER. HITLER KILLED MILLIONS BECAUSE OF DARK THOUGHS. THE PRINCIPALITIES ARE GREED, ENVY, IMMORALITY ETC. THE POWERS OF DARKNESS IS IN EVERYBODY. WE ARE ALWAYS AT WAR WITH OUR MIND. TAKE THE BRIBE OR NOT? CHASE SOMEBODY'S WIFE OR NOT? THOSE ARE THE POWERS OF DARKNESS WE ARE WRESTLING WITH EVERYDAY.
etc. I beg to ask as Rev. Dr which of these have you been confronted with? Why do we pray? Obviously, not for success alone.
WE DONT PRAY AGAINST FAIRIES OR UNICORNS OR WITCHES OR MAMI WATA. WE PRAY AGAINST OUR MORTAL ENEMY WHICH IS THE LUST OF THE FLESH, GREED, SELFISHNESS ETC. WE PRAY TO GET CLOSER TO GOD, WE PRAY FOR COMMUNITY AND STRENGTH.
STOP PRAYING AGAINST YOUR INNOCENT GRANDMOTHER. STOP PRAYING AGAINST NON-EXISTENT BEINGS. PRAY FOR STRENGTH, HEALTH, WISDOM AND PRAY AGAINST THE CRAVINGS OF THE FLESSH .

The purveyors of this superstition used to be juju priests. But now, that job has been totally taken over by churches and their self-styled priests, prophets, bishops, and what have you, and the equally twisted local movie industry. The churches scare their members with superstitious tall tales in order to ensure their continued church attendance and "collection" giving.
At the end of the day, we bear the sole responsibility to free ourselves from this scourge of superstition or mental slavery.
