LECTURER ENSKINNED SAHA NAA OF MAMPRUGU

 


A lecturer in Economics Education at the University of Cape Coast, Alhaji Prof. Mumuni. B. Yidana, has been enskinned Saha Naa of the Mamprugu Traditional Area in the North East Region.


This followed the death of his father, Vugraana Yaarim Daniel Mumuni Yidana, who passed on December 9, 2020.


Naa Prof. Yidana is the Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Education at the university.


He is an alumnus of Ghana Senior High in Tamale, and married with four children.


The installation rites, supervised by the Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional Area, Naa Boahagu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga, took place at the forecourt of the Nayiri’s Palace in Nalerigu. A new Vugraana was also enskinned by the king.


The enskinment ceremony attracted people from all walks of life.


Naa Prof. Yidana pledged to religiously uphold the cherished traditional values of the kingdom, and to swiftly respond to any invitation that might be extended to him by the king.


Naa Sheriga admonished the new chief to handle his staff of authority “with all the sanctity it deserves. Let people always bear good testimony about you, and my hand shall be on you at all times”.


Tradition


In line with customary practices, Naa Prof. Yidana, being the eldest son of the late chief, had initially been installed as the Regent of the Zangu-Vuga Traditional Area shortly upon the death of his father.


Zangu-Vuga is a farming community about four kilometres West of Walewale in the North East Region.


The final funeral rites of his late father took place in December 2021.


The late Vugraana, Daniel Mumuni Yidana, was also the father of Prof. Sandow Mark Yidana, the Dean of the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon; Prof. Adadow Yidana, the Dean of the School of Public Health, University for Development Studies, Tamale; Mr George Yidana, Ghana Education Service, and Mr Peter Yidana, Assistant Registrar, C.

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

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

BAWUMIA FINALLY DECLARES STANCE ON LGBTQI

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
