Go and contest for the seat in your fatherland – Mahama Jinapor

Former President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama has told the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Samuel Abu Jinapor to rather go to his father’s hometown in Buipe and contest for the seat there since Gonjas inherit from the patrilineal line.

According to him, Northerners by tradition do not inherit from their mother’s side but rather from their father’s side so it’s imperative that he goes to the father’s side to contest for the seat.

Citing himself as an example, the former President said “When I went to Bole in 1995 to contest as a Parliamentary on the ticket of the NDC they told me Alhaji Gilbert Iddi was the one coming to contest and advised me to go to Damongo where my mother hails from.

“I went to Damongo and met the NDC executives and they looked at me in an awkward manner and finally asked me if I don’t know my father’s home and I replied I know.”

“So they told me Gonjas don’t inherit from their mothers house but their fathers house”.

“I, therefore, went back to my father home of Bole, contested and won to become the MP for the Bole- Bamboi Constituency” the former President disclosed.

He noted that monies were exchanging hands in the Constituency but indicated that the seat belongs to the NDC and that cannot change adding that “No Gonja is a slave and I’ve never heard they have bought or sold a Gonja into slavery”.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
