the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us . Long live the Republic of Akan

I wonder how many of you would be happy to marry a woman who has not undergone FGM? If there is any "Yes" answer I will advise whoever it is to think a billion times since he may be marrying a woman who cannot be faithful or, at worst, a prostitute.

Let's enforce FGM and all the prostitution will cease and the women will become faithful.

I hope you will think positively on this very important issue.

This can be done painlessly under anaesthesia and, bingo, we have a more moral society with no more prostitutes and brothels. Then footballers will be able to father their own children!

Anestaestesia in the bush and villages ? FGM is practiced by ignorant and primitive people, not by the enlightened and educated class.

Northern Patriot, you and your cohort really are in need of education. What!!!! This is insane!!! In 21st century???

Are you seriously saying it's ok to control women's sexuality by mutilating them?

How about flipping the coin: Would you want your manhood to be chopped off or be castrated just so your desire for sex can be controlled or eliminated? Think about that for a minute as that's what happens to girls/women once they're brutally mutilated, either through female genital mutilation/circumcision/infibulation; not to mention other horrific health issues -constant infections,incontinent, infant mortality due to broken necks during birthing (sowed-up labia)!!
Do you think any human being should have that power to abuse/mutilate another, especially, innocent young girls? Would you want anyone to inflict that kind of pain/misery upon you, just so your sexuality can be controlled???

God have mercy on us for we know not what we're doing!!!!

YOU are a disgrace to the education and the north. You should be castrated to deter you from sex

You've definitely over-exposed your ignorance, and your lack/inability to think!!!!! You should be castrated yourself, then you'll know what these poor women go through!!!!!

Is this 'The Northern Patriot' a real Patriot? Is he a human being or a robot? I am sorry for suspecting a robot because even a robot will never write such primitive ideas in 2014! I shudder to think what you have done to your wife, sisters and other female relatives! May the Good Lord have mercy on you for spewing this filth to the whole world. Amen.
Having said that, those stake holders working on the issues and trying to ban them should be wise themselves so that they are not seen as 'Western Educated agents' trying to destroy our culture. You see, what many of the elders in the society would be arguing is that they are merely continuing what the ancestors left with them. This has been a consistent argument all over the world. It is not only in African communities! The real issue is that the ancestors had a real rationale behind some of these practices. Most often, it stems from not having enough knowledge about what lies behind a particular occurrence and since the African is described by Mbiti and Parrinder as: " Notoriously and Incurably Religious", the religious reasoning comes in handy. If the stake holders therefore study these inhuman practices tracing their background they could find convincing arguments to change the hearts and minds of those who still want to 'protect our culture'! I am pretty sure that there are enough theologians, medical experts and sociologists in our Universities to take these issues on.
In this way we would be saved from people like the so-called 'The Northern Patriot'!

Western Educated agents ? Where in the bible, Quran, African religion does it say that you have to mutilate our woman. FGM is just a harmful satanic and barbaric costum that must stop. It is not up to the West and NGO’s to stop it, so step up Ghana man and show your are not primitive people but living in 2014.
