Ohhhh, what is this? Chief Walewale, Wungu Naba. I am sad at this decision of yours. Mind you inspite of your position as Naba, you do not have absolute power and authority. There is what we call constitution which I know you are aware of which supercedes your power. You have to get this family back immediately and apologise to them. Your advisers who encouraged you to take this decision have deceived you.

People challenge the Ashantihene on a lot of matters. But have you ever heard him banish anyone from the region?

Why didn't you compare him to chiefs in the other eight regions but singled out only Ashanti? Is it out of reverence or inferiority complex?

Let Kwasi Pratt, the rat condemn this act from Northern region.. If an Asante chief had done this Pratt will immediately go to town to call for ban of chiefs. Pratt is in his elements if he is condemning NPP or Asante chiefs. I see him as an unrepentant antiAshanti and which manifests itself in all his undertakings

Kwesi Pratt will definitely not mince words in condemning this illiterate chief for acting as if we are still in pre-colonial Gold Coast where the chiefs were absolute monarchs and some even wielded the power of life and death over their subjects. This chief and his advisors obviously do not seem to know what time it is today.

In any case, this is the time for the lawyer whose letter sparked all this to come to the aid of his client by filing a case in court to vindicate his client's rights else no client should ever go near this lawyer if he chickens out like that spineless NGO which spoke on condition of anonymity.

This illiterate chief must be banished himself. He still lives in the stone age. It's surprising that the DISEC allowed this to happen. It's a very big shame. Why would I be thrown out of my own house; a house I built legally with my own hard earned income under the laws of the republic? This family needs some legal assistance to deal with the ill counseled chief.

The Civic State rights must be clear here. The residential State Rights is granted and protected by the State, so there can be no Istance where a Chief can banish a resident of any area. The Police must wake up from their sleep. There is no question of Tradition or customary practice here.

What about if the banned resident had sought residency there via the chief upon his arrival as a "settler"? I am not saying that this is the case but it could also be possible..

This appears to be dictatorship in the West African state of Walawale. The emperor, Alhaji Sulemana needs to be sanctioned by the ECOWAS parliament.

Chiefs in Ghana must know that it's sheer respect that the people have for them that they continue to rule over us. The way some of the chiefs are behaving would one day lead to a situation where they would be forcefully thrown out and the positions( if still required) would be contested for in elections.

Hypocrites...stop complaining.. tradition existed before the British got here. Remember even the British used the traditional rulers to rule Ghana. How can you all be complaining as if this the first to happen in Ghana. How many children have been banished by their own fathers/mothers from their own homes for their behaviors. Do you think that is not human rights violated? Better yet, the witches who are banished everyday for false allegations- are they not human beings? All heads of states: from Nkrumah thru the Afrifas- Ankrahs- Busias, the Acheampongs- the Akuffos- the 2 Rawlings terms- the Limanns- the Kuffours, the Mills- and of course the current administration have lived and will live it- If we as nation do think that the chieftaincy institution is so vital to have a minister, then we as nation have given it their actions our recognition. Until all those of you criticizing this chief can get government to shut down the witch camps across the nation, and get all past governments to admit their complicity in these "so called abuses" you are criticizing, and unless parents who banish their children can be sanctioned by the laws of the land, I tell you, you have no case against this chief. If you invoke "modernity" to make your case: because we live in modern times, this should not be happening, then I challenge you with this question: would allow gays to marry in Ghana because gay life style is now becoming a norm in modern societies like the USA and Europe? I oppose gay unions and relations, and I bet, many of you reading this do oppose it too. If your position on gay and modern life is like mind, then you are an unexamined mind who is criticizing this chief. I am for human rights for all or human rights for none. You cannot be in the middle. WHOEVER IS IN THE MIDDLE IS HYPOCRITE

Peaceful resolution of the impasse,as tradition requires in the first place,why did he later turn the Nayire,the overlord? Can you imagine the potential chaos that would have ensued,if Wungu Naba had not stepped in to take charge of such a volatile situation? In any event, why did Bawa not go after the dishonest Fulani herdsman,who had 'double-crossed' many of the cattle owners? He was the guy he sould directed his anger and frivilous law suit against,but not the Naba!

I believe that every Ghanaian has the right to live wherever in Ghana and it is unconstitutional to ban any person from his own home town.

Where is that stupid, fat bitch, Nana Oye Lithur? This is the kind of issue that she must get her ass on, since the story is a typical case of human rights abuse. Now that honey and milk flow, not even drip, into her mouth, she's gone silent. She used to scream around, even defending the rights of hardened criminals, armed robbers, who maim and kill people? Now that she has been entrusted with power,
little is seen or heard of her. Hmmmmm!!!
