Ghana has an interior minister who cannot think beyond today, and likely to fight over cow meat if his neighbour refuses to share. He therefore does not see the dangers ''GANGS'' (yaa naa boys, Azorka boys, Afoko boys, Wayongo boys, Close Observer boys etc.) pose to the security of the people of Ghana. Hence, his intention to legalize them. Sack Wayongo, and put a sensible person in his place.

YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE IF PEOPLE START RECRUITING UNEMPLOYED YOUTH TO DO THEIR DIRTY JOBS FOR THEM LIKE AZORKA. DO WE WANT WAR LORDS AND THEIR BOYS IN GHANA?

Fellow citizens, let us get rid of ''Azorka boys'' and all other ''boys, boys'' groups in Ghana.These are a serious threat to the security of the country. You don't need to be a security expert to see the dangers these groups pose. Unfortunately, Ghana has an interior minister who cannot think beyond today, and likely to fight over cow meat if his neighbour refuses to share. He therefore does not see the dangers these lawless groups pose to the security of the people of Ghana. Hence, his intention to legalize them.
When encouraged, it will lead to ABDUCTIONS, ASSASSINATIONS, INCREASE IN ARMED ROBBERIES, VIOLENCE AT ELECTION TIME and many other lawless acts that I cannot list here.
The POLICE SERVICE WILL SUFFER MOST. They will be ignored by politicians because the police will be irrelevant to them. The POLICE would therefore be weaken (the provision for necessary tools for effective policing will not be forthcoming) and their service conditions (salary) will get bad.
WE ALL SAW HOW THE 64th BATTALION WAS TREATED IN RELATIONS TO THE REGULAR ARMY. I therefore need not say more. For the good of all of us, fellow Ghanaians, let us discourage the formation of these illegal groups. Left to politicians alone, they will keep the status quo to hold on to power through intimidation and violent means which these groups are meant for.

I have read interesting comments about the recent conflict in Bimbilla. These are the facts.

Fact 1. Among most northern tribes and in particular Nanumbas, it not every person who can sell meat. Meat is sold by butchers. These butchers are from specific families and if you are not from the butchers family, you cannot sell meat.
Fact 2. For the proper running of society, these butchers are chief and drive their authority from the appropriate Village/town/ Paramount
Fact 3. There are three butchers chiefs (Naakuhna, Baaba and Taribabu). The seven days of the week is shared among-Naakuhna-3day, Baaba-2days and Taribabu-2days.
Fact 4. The chief does not even have to ask for the meat, it is the duty of the respective butchers chief to deliver the meat. In fact if you are a hunter, in bimbilla and you go the the bush and kill a bush cow, you are required to deliver a portion to the chief
Fact 5. What happened on Thursday was an attempt to undermine the authority of the regent.
So as part of their duties

It's part of our culture, the rights of the buchers must be respected. Considering the security situation of the area, the regent should have thought in anticipation of any storm of violence. The regent should have followed the due process instead he sent his macho men (fighters).
This action by the so call regent is not only an act of arrogancy but also a slap to the rule of law and the constitution of the nation as a whole.

This shameful argument is what has resulted in needless death. Nanumbas, Dagombas, and Mamprusis are disgracing northerners with their zealous adherence to their so-called tradition.Know that in the past the chiefs did not force the butchers to send them meat. It was purely voluntary. It was not even done daily. Some days may not be good so those who did not make good sale did not send any meat to the chiefs but they were not slaughtered. Keep slaughtering one another over useless things. The rest of the country is moving on.

The whole concept of chieftaincy in Northern Ghana is too anachronistic, archaic, exploitative and patronizing. If you have never lived in the North, you cannot understand why people should kill because of a kilo of meat or a guinea fowl. "Why don't you just give the f..ky meat to the King and carry on with your business?" It is not that easy and it is also not the size of the meat, but the regularity and irritating nature of the demand. There are people from the King's house whose duty it is to enforce these demands, roaming about town with drums hung on their shoulders and smoking out places where carcasses are being roasted, and pointing out which portions should go to the king, and in whose kitchen they would also be feeding. And it goes on and on and on. Some form of daily taxation which should anger anybody. Add to this practice is the existence of two or more gates to every skin. When an occupant dies, all the vying gates begin their own "ways and means" to ascend the throne so as the help themselves to this meat 'taxes' and other forms of pecks available to the King. When there is a protracted litigation between the gates, almost everyone especially butchers are caught up in the struggle for allegiance and the right to demand the meat. So you see why butchers are always caught up in chieftaincy struggles in the North. Even when they migrate to the South, these conflicts follow them there. Why are butchers a fertile recruiting ground for violent attacks? The answer is simple. They are expects in killing and slaughter, they have sharpened machetes and knives that can be turned against human beings. Butchers also have guns to protect their kraals against night robbers. When all these elements are put together, you have a combustible mix which can be ignited by a very small dispute such as the demand for a pound of cow meat. The solution is for the DCEs and the Security agencies in areas as Bimbilla where these 'butchers' problem exist to devise a way of collecting cash equivalent of the meat on monthly basis on behalf of the King and others so entitled. This would prevent direct contact between the king's enforcers and the butchers and eliminate the carnage that we are witnessing.

why link this conflict to the Konkomba Nanumba war infact give news to reflect what is happening on the ground and forget of the past. Am not pleased Konkombas name is mentioned here when they have nothing in relation to this conflict. I don't just understand why every conflict in Ghana here, people are always happy to insert Konkombas name in it when they are not envolved.

Journalists are supposed to be literate, so their stories should be reflective of events on the ground. Where do Konkombas come in in the current Bimbilla conflict? Its purely a Nanumba matter, so why rope in Konkombas. The story depicts you the writer as worse than the combatants cos you have been exposed as desirous of knocking two tribal heads together. Hell shall be your eternal abode!

If they don't want to send part of their meat to the chief's palace, why killed ? both sides need to sit your ass down & talk to solve your problems.

THE JOURNALIST WHO REPORTED THIS HAS BEEN VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. this could have been reported without mentioning any konkombas in it. Its a calculated attempt to dent the image of konkombas in the eyes of Ghanaians ones more. This are some of the gross insurbodination towards particular tribes. I advise you look professional next time. Dont start anything and begin mentioning woyongo.

Does Konkombas live i Bimbila township or do konkomba an allegiance to the Naa Numb. What cheap and lazy journalism is this. Because you hate a particula tribe your try to tanish their image by mentioning them in well established conflict that has lasted for a year. We tired of this kind of cheap journlism and I think it is about time National Media Commission must put punity measures against the so called jourlists in our country.
