  When you don’t understand culture and tradition, please don’t rush to write shallow articles about them. These practices carry deep meaning. The Dagomba culture, for example, is one of the oldest traditions in Ghana—far richer than a few careless sentences can capture.
  
  I don’t blame your perspective; perhaps you’ve never even set foot on northern soil. But if you choose to write, at least get your facts right. And about that “juju” in your title—imagine if someone reduced a century-old tradition from your own ethnic group to superstition. With all due respect, some things deserve more thought than that.

  We see a picture of people. If this story about the bees is true, why can't we be shown pictures of the bees leading the Kumbungu Chief? If you can take a picture of the people, I believe you should be able to take pictures showing the bees leading the Kumbungu Chief. Till we see the pictures or video, this is just another concocted story.
