Yes, we have to listen to preachings by preachers. But the message must align with the Word of God. The message must NOT be self-exalting, self-glorifying and exploitative for preacher's personal interests.
The message must be message of Salvation through Christ Jesus. It must be must message that builds children of God in faith, love and in the work of the Lord. It must be message that make us develop deeper roots in the Lord and builds us in the him.

Interestingly we've never heard of this narrative. Maybe some more research needs to be done in order that we can give Issah Kanjaga his due.

Go to northern Nigeria there are many hausa speaking tribes who are Christians who believe JESUS CHRIST died on the CROSS to save mankind.
Some of us speak Hausa but are blood bathed in the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST that was shared on the CROSS for the whole world.
So get it right; know that not all Hausa speaking ethnicities are Moslems. No! no!

Hausa is not spoken in Northern Ghana. It is a foreign language spoken only in a few enclaves or suburbs in some towns in the North. The places you will find such enclaves are Bolgatanga, Bawku and Salaga.

Your ignorance will always mislead you. Hausa the most widely spoken second language in most parts of the northern part of Ghana, especially in Tamale, the largest city in that area. The Hausas settled in Tamale and other major cities in that part of Ghana many decades ago as craftsmen, traders in silver artifacts and producers of leather that is used to make boots and cushion covers. The Hausas sold their goods mainly to visiting Europeans, as they did in other areas in the southern parts of Ghana. Their Hausa language was quickly adopted by many folks in that part of Ghana, and it's widely used in markets and and in public places in that part of the country. Yes, Hausa is a foreign language, but it's the most widely spoken second language of many in that part of the country. Travel indeed opens eyes and minds.

Well said. Is good to keep very important history in this country and our leaders should avoid selective recognition of only people or persons believed to come from only their tribe.

Kanjagah was left out of the narration because he was part of the team wielding rifles with live ammunition and with the intent to kill and they did kill.

Shooting into the air may only be seen by the protesting team as a warning to stop or be killed and it was followed by killing 3 of their members.

Kanjagah need recognition after so many years of analytical reviews and reassessments of what really happened, to the old abongo boys he shouldn't even have worked for the colonial wicked masters.

Very true. My dad told me the story several years ago. He was in Burma and part of the march to X'borg castle. He even repeated the exact words issah used.

Issah Kanjsga was a SERGEANT in the Gold Coast police force. He was not a DSP. Lawyer Anokye should revisit his history lessons and revise his notes.

It is normal human behavior, when bad things and good things we tend to focus on the bad things and forget the good. It is nobody's fault, it is psychological
