Today's Wednesday 9th March, 2022, the King of the Mamprugu kingdom HRM the Nayiri, Naa Bohagu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga have enstooled Nba Abdulai Seidu as the NBA ADU of the Mamprugu kingdom.


The NBA ADU tittle is a Warrior Chieftaincy tittle in the Mamprugu kingdom and per the customs and traditions of Mamprugu, Warrior Chiefs sits on a Stool. It's only Warriors that are enstooled, all other Chiefs are enskined and sits on skins. The ADU tittle is a preserve for the ADU clan in Nalerigu, traditional capital of the Mamprugu kingdom.


The first ADU was Adu Seidu (Naa GbΙ›waa PΙ”'a biiya, Bun sunΕ‹ din yΙ”Ι”li daa ku kΙ”nΕ‹ daara), his mother was a Princess by name Nma Sheitu, daughter of the 22nd Nayiri, Naa Sigri Sulemana (1902-1905). 

After Adu Seidu, his son Adu Wuni succeeded him, Adu Gumah succeeded Adu Wuni  and now Adu Gumah is being succeeded by Adu Abdulai. 


The ADU was originally part of the Nayiri Council of elders. In the 1932 Conference of Mamprugu Chiefs, the Mamprugu kingdom Constitution was drawn with an eleven  (11) member Nayiri Council constituted as; 1. Nba Taraana 2. Sakpari 3. Nba Sakpa-Naaba 4. Nba Akara 5. Nba Kpati-Raana 6. Nba Kpana-Raana (Maasu) 7. Nba Wunangi 8. Nba Adu 9. Nba Daasu 10. Nba Akyiri 11. Nba Asuma.


The ADU, ASUMA, AKYIRI and DAASU are all Warriors and they performed the duties as "Palace Guards" entrusted with the responsibility of providing personal security to the King (the Nayiri). The houses of all this Warrior Chiefs were situated behind the Ancient Nayiri Palace and even till date, the architectural design hasn't changed and the "family houses" of Adu, Asuma, Daasu and Akyiri are behind the Ancient Nayiri Palace. The reason for this architecture was that, no enemy can attack the Nayiri Palace from behind because the houses of this Warriors are spaced around the Palace.  Aside the Palace security, they also goes to war with the Nayiri either in conquest or defence of the kingdom. 


The ADU is a Warrior Chief also known as Kanbon-Naaba/Sapashini. He sits on a Stool (Kukka), uses a Metal Staff (Gaaji) as a walking stick and a 'Baranzum' which he always holds on his hand or placed on his shoulder. 

"Nya zhiim N booni walugu, Kpeeri Nayiri ku prigi namna, ZaΙ£asi gbanΕ‹u zhinni kuka, ChanΕ‹ moo ka tuumu danΕ‹ yinΕ‹a πŸ’ͺ "

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

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
