GBEWAA ZULIYA FEEDS

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?

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

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

  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

 A fierce clash between two rival factions in a protracted chieftaincy dispute in Ngleshie Alata James Town on Sunday morning led to the destruction of several property with many people sustaining various degrees of injury. A 2018 Toyota Corolla and two motorbikes were burnt in the process, but the police intervened to restore calm, and some people were arrested to assist in investigations. The Ngleshie Alata James Town stool has been in dispute since the demise of the late Paramount Chief, Nii Kojo Ababio, as two factions, Oblempong Wetse Kojo II and Nii Ahoma Kojo, have both claimed ownership of the stool. A Spokesperson for Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, who spoke on condition of anonymity, disclosed that a surprise attack was launched on them by some weapon yielding group when they visited the palace to perform some purification. “We went to the palace this morning without any cutlass, stone, sticks, or whatever. We were there performing some rituals when we saw some thugs coming with ma

MAMPRUGU YOUTH ASSOCIATION – BAWKU CHAPTER   Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, distinguished guests, sons, and daughters of Bawku, we warmly welcome you to the palace of the 14th Bawku Naaba, Naa Adam Zangbeo which has been and continues to be the home of all ethnic groups in Bawku. First, we wish to thank you all for honouring our invitation to cover this press conference which we believe will bring out key issues as far as peace and security of Bawku, its environs, Upper East region, and Ghana are concerned. Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, our attention has been drawn to a very surprising and claptrap press conference addressed by one Bukari Issahaku on behalf of the Kusasi Youth Movement on 8 January 2023. The said press conference, loaded with invectives and unprintable language directed at the peaceful Mamprusis and their sympathizers was centred on an alleged insecurity on the Bolga - Tamale highway. We have also taken notice of similar comments made by the Upper East Regiona
