  I Haven't read your first article but I don't think this is the way to go. we can name one of the houses in the school after him but not the Whole school ''Bawku Sec which has gained recognition. is Naba Azoka more important than the whole of Bawku put together? he was a very good leader fine but not better than all of us.

  Haruna Sumaila Abugri certainly has a lot to learn about the history of Bawku. This tribalistic kusasi bigot is not only treading on dangerous grounds, he has also displayed deep ignorance and mischievous by postulating such a myopic and dangerous idea. The history of Bawku goes waaay back and is there for all to read and learn. In the first place, Bawku was founded by Naa Ali in the fifteenth century, when Abugrago Azoka's great grandfather was even not yet born. Naa Ali was a MaMprusi. Secondly, the first settlements in and around Bawku were put up by Naa Ali and his Mamprusi entourage long before the Kusasis migrated into the area from their base in Ayuga, Zawga and Biengo in current Burkina Faso. Thridly, the Bawku market was constructed by Naa Mamboda in the seventeenth century. Naa Mamboda was a Mamprusi. The Bawku market is one of the biggest and most economically viable markets in Ghana today. Fourthly, the creation of the Bawku paramouncy and its associated kanton chiefdoms was initiated under Naa Bugri Lobzuri, who was a Mamprusi. Fifthly, the land on which the Bawku hospital is built was donated by Naa Saa Wuni, who was a Mamprusi. Sixthly, the land on which Abugrago Azoka's house stands was given to him by Amande, son of Naa Mahama II, a Mamprusi. Seventhly, most of the infrastructural developments in Bawku were initiated when the late Imoro Salifu and Alhaji Sherrif Ahmed Guma were ministers of the Upper/ Upper East Region, both of them Mamprusis. I could go on and on and on. And as you can see, Bawku owes its founding and development to Mamprusis. Haruna Sumaila Abugri should also catalogue what Kusasis have done for Bawku apart from destruction, including Abugrago Azoka. If anybody deserves to have institutions or events named after them, the last person to consider is Abugrago Azoka. Why? Because Abugrago Azoka was a Yanga fugitive, who escaped from Pusiga to Bawku and was rescued by Naa Mahama II. Naa Mahama subsequently made Azoka his sandal bearer and built a house for him in Gingande, a suburb of Bawku, where his son now lives with his family. The infamous history of Abugrago Azoka is well known in Bawku. And so Haruna Sumaila Abugri and his ilk should stop this foolish propaganda. It will not work, even if the Kusasis think that NDC is their party. The initial naming of the Bawku Secondary School as Azoka College was a political gimmick by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to spite the Mamprusis who refused to support and vote for him. Abugrago Azoka does not represent anything so far as Bawku is concerned. He is a nonentity and is not even worthy for the Bawku cemetary to be named after him. So Haruna and his ilk should rest their souls. It will never happen!

  Even if you the Mamprusis did all these things for the Kusasis, to protect them from slavery, etc. Please be honest with yourselves - does the land not bwlong to them? Even the British and infact all the Eurpeans gave the colonies they created in Africa freedom and independence. In this these days and era you still want to impose youselves on people. Kusasis will rule Kusasis - period! If you want to continue to be rulers or chiefs, go back to Nalerigu.

  Where in my piece did I mention slavery? You see how you Kusasis are fond of deliberately twisting facts? You may succeed in twisting facts, but NEVER can you twist history. Read my response again very careful and tell me where I made mention of Mamprusis protecting Kusasis against slavery. That is your story not mine.
