  But trokosi-ism is also a form of slavery.Perhaps even worse bcoz its a culturally approved form of slavery.

  Can we get the criteria in identifying slavery?Probably the entire 25 million population of Ghana are slaves.Look at the Kayayie,potters,street hawkers in Accra right in front of Flagstaff House with our leaders looking.

  WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SLAVES THAT WAS SHIPPED FROM THE CASTLES TO THE WHITE MANS COUNTRY AND TROKOKOSI IN GHANA?
  I AM PROUD THAT MY GREAT GRAND MOTHER WAS A TOKOSI.IT WAS NOT HER WILL TO BECOME SLAVE TO ANYBODY BUT HER ANCESTORS GAVE HER AWAY BECAUSE HER UNCLE STOLE A CHICKEN.
  MY GREAT GRAND MOTHER AMALADJA FROM THE AHLIJAH FAMILY FROM ANYAKO WAS SEND TO KLIKOR AFEGAME TO SERVE THE SHRINE.
  TROKOSI BROUGHT FEARS INTO MANY EWES AND KEPT MANY EWES DISCIPLINED.
  THE ABOLISHING OF TROKOSI HAS CREATED MANY WOYOME AND OTHER TYPE OF EWE CRIMINALS.
  THE WESTERN WORLD AND GHANA GOVERNMENT MADE THEIR BED TO ABOLISH TROKOSI,LET THEM LIE ON IT.
  EWES HARDLY MADE CRIMINALS A HERO BUT NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
  IMAGINE THE VOLTA YOUTH GROUP WERE DANCING AND SINGING FOR WOYOME.
  THERE ARE GOOD AKANS,AND I AM ALSO PROUD TO BE HALF AKAN AND HALF EWE.
  IN GHANA,I AM HAUSA,GA AND DAGOMBA TOO BECAUSE I SPEAK THE LANGUAGE FLUENTLY.
  MOSES WAS A SLAVE AND WITHOUT TROKOSI I AM A CROOK OF EWE AND AKAN.

  In a slave market, an owner is showing his slaves for selling.
  A man come to the shop and pointing to an American slave and asked, "how much he is?". The owner said, "$100". And the man pioint to a Russian slave, asked again, and the owner reply, "$1000". The man point to Japanese slave, and the owner reply, "$10000".
  Finally the man point to a African slave and ask the price, the owner reply, "$100000".
  The customer is confused and ask, "Why that black slave cost too much?".
  The owner reply, "His brain is still new, he never used his brain"
  
  I AM BLACK AS A TEA POT,THIS JOKE IS NOT TO OFFEND ANY ONE.

  We are all slaves here. It's called the prison planet and the people are enslaved to the bankers and their money system . This system enslaves all of us and the people are just blind to this. If u get a loan u are a slave to pay this. Anyone that owns possessions knows that they become slaves to them. U have a car u need to take care of it, u have a house u need to take care of it, i have seen possessions totally dominate people and enslave them. A nice car they will worry where to park it as it can be scratched or dented so they end up thinking about this and it takes them over. just an example. But the money
  system totally enslaves us. we are all slaves and dont know it..
