BAWUMIA FINALLY DECLARES STANCE ON LGBTQI

Image
Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has emphatically stated he opposes the practice of LGBTQ+ in Ghana. Addressing a gathering of Muslims to commemorate the 2024 Eid-ul-Fitr celebration, Dr Bawumia said he cannot support a practice his religion and the values of Ghana frown on. “I will like to take this opportunity to personally comment on the raging issue of LGBTQ in Ghana. First of all, it is important to note that our cultural and societal norms and values as Ghanaians frown on the practice of homosexuality,” Dr. Bawumia said at the Kumasi Central Mosque. “Furthermore, as a Muslim, my view on this matter aligns with the position of my religious faith. The Noble Quran is replete with verses frowning on LGBTQ acts, including same-sex marriages. My faith is therefore very strictly against the practice of homosexuality, no “ifs” or “buts”. No shades of grey,” he emphatically stated. This is Dr Bawumia’s first public declaratio

WHAT REV. PROF. JOHN AZUMAH SHOULD KNOW AND A WORD TO THE YOUTH OF KUSASI

Image
By Alhaji Salifu Hadara In circulation, a write-up, emanating from, one Rev. Prof. John Azumah, pretending to love the youth of Mamprugu with his disingenuous, illusory, delusional and commoner-like unsolicited advice. First of all, it should be made to him clearly that, the youth of Mamprugu do not need his advice for anything and for that matter, he should redirect his needless advice to himself and the youth of Kusasi he and his likes have over the years deceived into believing that Kusasi own Bawku. Bawku did not start in the 1950s, neither was it founded by any commoner. Bawku was founded by the rulling class (Mamprusi) in the early 1700s and that is what you should be telling your youth but not deceptions that have over time been exposed.  The youth of Mamprugu want to make it clear without any ambiguity that, Bawku is part and parcel of Mamprugu and any attempt by any commoner to describe the Mamprusi in Bawku as 'small group of Mamprusi' only goes to show ho

BAWKU CRISIS: RESPONSE TO ISSAH IMORO

Image
Rev Azumah who has hurriedly scribbled a reply to my rejoinder reminds me of the wise saying that “If God wants good for you, He makes your adversary present with clear falsehoods and contrived arguments”. This is the state Rev Azumah finds himself in and it is obvious that he is bitter my rejoinder has collapsed the several years of falsehoods they have fed their youth and unsuspecting Ghanaians. All the issues he raised in his reply have been sufficiently answered in my two-part rejoinder to his initial article and he would have realized this if he was one of the "careful readers" I kept on addressing. But to make things further clearer to him, I say: 1. Is it not surprising that Rev Azumah whose entire 2 parts article in which he sought to authoritatively re-write history never quoted a single reference book on history (not to even talk of page numbers) is now drawing knives and daggers claiming I did not reference page numbers of the books I quoted from? How preposterous?

BAWKU CRISIS: TRUTH MUST BE TOLD-PART TWO (2)

Image
From the discussions in Part One (1), it becomes abundantly clear that the attempt by Rev Azumah to latch onto the self contradictory and political findings/ conclusions of the 1958 Opoku Afari Committee is unsustainable. For instance, the committee after acknowledging that the customary law, customs and traditions pertaining to the Bawku chieftaincy since the time of Naa Ali until the time of the inquiry (1721 - 1958) was that Mamprusis were chiefs with the Nayiri as King maker, it made the bizaare contradictory conclusion that Abugrago Azoka was validly elected as chief of Bawku per the "customs and traditions". This was despite the fact that Abugrago Azoka was not a Mamprusi neither was he enskinned by the King maker, Nayiri. Furthermore, not only was the so-called election of Abugrago Azoka against the customs and traditions, it was actually an illegality against the law at the time (State Councils Ordinance).  Also, the committee after acknowledging the fact that Naa Ali

BAWKU CONFLICT: TRUTH MUST BE TOLD

Image
PART ONE (1) I have read an opinion piece written by one Rev Prof John Azumah published in two parts on the 7 and 8 March 2023 editions of Daily Graphic titled "Bawku Conflict: Truth Must Be Told". As a native of Bawku who has witnessed various stages of the conflict (violent and restive periods) since the 80s as a child, I have always maintained that the Bawku conflict is probably the most misunderstood and misrepresented dispute in Ghana. This, in my opinion, explains why the Government and other major stakeholders are having great difficulty in finding a lasting solution to the problem.  Thus, it was very refreshing to see Rev Azumah choose "telling the truth" as the title for his piece. But did he really narrate the truth? And what is the truth? These questions will be the focus of this rejoinder and to make it easier for the reader to do a comparative analysis of the issues raised by Rev Azumah and this article, I have chosen to structure this rejoi

THE SIX MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT WHO ARE BETRAYAL TO NAYIRI AND MAMPRUGU KINGDOM

Image
  These good for nothing members of parliament are big time betrayals of Mamprugu kingdom, who must immediately be taken out of power. Reasons for this call, 1. They disgrace and disrespect Nayiri (The king of Mamprugu kingdom) when his 12 elders were unlawfully arrested and detained for 12 days, these useless and shameful MP's were watching and never issued or said anything regarding to that. 3. it was only former Northern Regional Minister Hon. Abubakari Abdallah (NDC) who was a true son of Mamprugu kingdom who bravely granted interview and spoke seriously about Bawku chieftaincy conflict, one would have thought that these useless MP's will be ashamed and come out but nothing of that nature happened till now 2. The two businessmen from Gambaga were on their business trade and was killed cold-hearted and they equally said or issued nothing as usual. If these 6 MP's refuse to say anything in the happenings in Bawku because in their mindset Bawku is under upper East and n
