OMG! I thought these evil Asshantis only hated Nigerians out of ignorance and jealousy for Nigerians' prosperity, but the 'VENOM' being spewed against their fellow citizen Prof Kofi Awonoor, who was murdered by Al-Shebab terrorists in Kenya, was beyond human comprehension. No wonder, when these evil Asshantis violently deported Nigerians from Ghana during the EVIL Busia ACO in the 60s, (and STOLE their properties and shared them amongst themselves), I thought, well...maybe Nigerians faced such (horrible and barbaric experience at the hands of these WICKED Asshantis), because they are not natives of Ghana.
However, with the current sort of HATRED, VILIFICATION AND POISONOUS VENOM' from these HORRIBLE Asshantis to their fellow citizen late Prof Awonoor, then who need an ENEMY, when you are 'UNFORTUNATE' to have Asshantis as your fellow citizens. Shame on you Asshantis BIGOTS. Thank God I'm PROUDLY Nigerian. RIP Prof Awonoor.

When I was a graduate student at Princeton, in my first year, I visited Bronx where my sister was living in the same apartment complex with Prof Kofi Awoonor. At the time, he was lecturing part time at Columbia and pursuing his final ph.d. dissertation. What I remember about him is that he would often speak FANTI to my sister encouraging her to be closer to his wife rather than the other gullible, gossipy Ghanaians in the same complex because he found my sister articulate and educated.
I spoke often with him in Fanti and he was full of excitement whenever Ghana came up. Even at that time he did not look that old; I am surprised that he was 78.
May he rest in peace - those who knew him up close really considered him classy and he fitted into many Ghanaian ethnic groups because he spoke so many Ghana languages.... it was always difficult to pin him as an Ewe. His English was nothing like an ewe accent!!!

Kofi Awoonor is a warlord in promoting tribal hatred. What battle was he fighting in Kenya or he was tracing his root to the Massai's? He had a scar on his forehead since birth and so what? Any able thinking person in Ghana know this Kofi Awoonor guy as a tribal bigot whose sole aim was to supplant his people over all others in Ghana something he knew was impossible and that had generated some intense animosity between Ewes and Akan speaking people in Ghana.
Satan will not open Hell gate to this son of a pig because he will poison the minds of those who are already suffering in hellish fire. Kofi Awoonor is DIVISIVE and that should be part of what he stood for.

My right hand is broken,
3. And the tree on which l lean is fallen
Agosu,(Awoonor), if you go, tell them
Tell Nyidevu, Kpeti and Kove
4. That they have done us evil".

I was at a Hotel Lobby one day in Las Vegas when i saw some of my fellow Phillipino friends shaking other whites and rejoicing because George Zimmerman has been acquitted.
With tears in my eyes,i said why will a dog eating race who does not know his or her identity celebrate with whites because a black man has been killed by whites?
Sadly we have the George Zimmerman's in Ghana who envy other tribes.
We complain about the white man discriminating against us but we discriminate against our own Ghanaian's.
In the soccer matches that we play,our national team is Ghana black stars,not Akan or Ewe Black stars.
kevin prince Boateng and Adam kwarassey were born in foreign countries and cannot speak any Ghanaian dialect but the choose to play for our Nation.
Are we not hypocrite or a George Zimmerman when we treat and rejoice over the death of our fellow Ghanaian's who were killed by Religious Bigots?

When Kofi Nyidevu, Prof, was writing his satanic verses, pitching one tribe against another when we are all the same, a family has married into a family from the Volta region, some family from the Volta region has married into a Fanti, Asante, Bono, Nzema etc, etc, family, we should have raised the righteous hell and indignation which is pouring profusely from all and sundry. We are one people and what Nyidevu sought to accomplish with his satanic verses would never be forgotten. We may forgive, but it would never be forgotten, just like Kennedy Agyapong issuing a fatwa that,"we should kill all Ga's and Ewes". Elders and those who are enlightened should use their knowledge and influence to bring peace and foster unity amongst the various tribes, ethnicities and cultures just like the beautiful kente cloth, which showcases our rich culture, and that is the only way, they would be accorded the necessary respect by the citizenry. He did his part, what about you? Would you want to pass through life and experience death at the hands of terrorists and militants, but, your own country, would not feel any sympathy for your death, even when you rose to become the chairman of the council of state? Such is life. Rest in peace Kofi Awoonor, Prof.

you brought a palpable change to ghana
yes, tribal tension.
With the concept of EWE HEHEMONY
YES HE WAS A TRIBAL WARLORD WHO WANTED TO EXTERMINATE ASHANTIS BUT FAILED AND WAS DEALT WITH BY ALSHABABS. MAY EWES AND ASHANTIS LIVE IN PERFECT PEACE.
Who at all was he fighting as a war Lord?
He failed to establish an Ewe hegemony in Ghana but failed, thanks to vigilant Ghanaians!
Never to this inward looking idiot prof tuitui
ewes are always united no matter what and there is no dispute about that. kofi had nothing to do with that but it has always been the ewe tradition "naketsi deka no dzome bi nu"you nkow what that means???????????
Kofi Awoonor is a warlord in promoting tribal hatred. What battle was he fighting in Kenya or he was tracing his root to the Massai's? He had a scar on his forehead since birth and so what? Any able thinking person in Ghana ...

Ancestral SCAR?
Ghana has "some Professors" propagating pathetic TOLIS to our youngsters and the general public!
WHEWWW!
Pelicles - Kofi was no tribalist. He might have been an Ewe nationalist. I found him more Ghanaian than most people; I can say for a fact that he was not ewe-phobic, if there is such a thing!!
He certainly was not Ewe-phobic. He was rather Akan-phobic hence his bigotry towards Akans. You might have had a pleasant visit with him but that does not mean he was not a bigot.I work with a KKK and he is the nicest person ...

He was neither Ewe-phobic nor Akan-phobic. He was a proud Ghanaian Nationalist!
How could he be Ewe-phobic? Maybe you don't understand phobic. He couldn't have feared Ewes when he was in the vanguard of Ewe supremecist movement. He certainly was Akanphobic.
LET'S HOPE HE DOES NOT CARRY HIS EWE REVOLUTION TO THE AFTERLIFE.
He died in s stupid battle then. What was he fighting for?
my condolence
We live in today's Ghana. No talk of tribal warlords etc, etc. Is there nothing at all that Anyidoho could say was the late Awoonor's contribution to one country, one people and one destiny?
Those who would want to glorif ...

You would think the sensible thing to say at the aftermath of the supreme court decision and the acceptance by Akuffo Addo and NPP and not to go for a review would be an appropriate time to talk about a PEACE LORD.

So the mark on his body may have nothing to do with a genetic blip or inherited gene causing a slight deformity or an incident in childhood. It definitely, surely, easily has to be explained away by reincarnation of an ances ...

If am right, doesn't The Bible say a guy called Cain had a mark on him? Wasn't it for a reason?
physical or a spiritual mark; one has got to be careful also of literal explanations; the Bible is complete with history, poetry (King Solomon) eschatology, figurative language, spirituality, demonstration of power, etc. You ...

IF YOU SPEAK AKAN LANGUAGE AT THE FUNERAL OF THE TRIBALIST
PROF(TORGBI) REST IN PEACE
Very very very untimely, unexpected, and sad. Terrible lost to us. One of our counts, and one of the counted. One of them we lean on, variously, even from afar. One of our fighters. His death living us the living very vulnera ...

What do you mean by untimely death? Do you know how he was destined to die?At his age what is untimely about his death? The man is dead and gone:let him rest in peace.
If you call that attack by terrorists "battle", then you and Professor Awoonor were part of the problem of global terrorism.
these ayigbe people should go easy on akpeteshie, because akpeteshie will make you say things you don't mean to.
Nemesis,UK do not try to tell Nigerians Ashanti's hate them look if you hate Ashanti's for your reasons that is ok

Prof Anyidoho is not a historian. He is a scholar and teacher of the English language.

If you are requested to go look for a COWARD, look for a terrorist for they are THE WORSE COWARDS on earth... THEY hide and commit atrocities against innocent people.
the wages of sin is death.
this man had on his ewe hands the death of Akan judges, some of whom were women.
