I refer to the last statement you made, "I urged him to seek spiritual bathing before embarking on the expedition". There are spirits and principalities and if you have not experienced their powers you will not believe it. However God is the omnipotent and it is only thru prayers you can overcome some of their powers. So keep praying to God, Allah, Buddah, etc, etc. or whatever you belief is. Good luck.

Sure some practices across country need to be looked into. Issues of witch craft surely exist in the north. As it being a business I doubt that. Some families may be tagged with it but it is something which most people do not want to be associated with. Just like any where in Ghana the sudden death of family members raises all kinds of questions and this is the double standards of the Ghanaian Christian. Reference the death of the late President Mills and all the allegations being leveled against certain personalities. I think the heading is too sensational and is designed to cast northern women in a certain light.

I do not understand why people are always rubbishing the existence of these spirits. In our local parlance, we refer to them as "bayie which is w'aba yie" and that is something to help guard the one with that spirit in this world but unfortunately, it is being misused.

There are schools in New York city that teaches witchcraft and one will be taught the intricacies and the rituals to be performed to become a witch or wizard. The Whites see witchcraft as a religion which they do not play with it.

In this 21st century! Very pathetic. These are the kind of things the media should be highlighting on but it seems both the media and the elite in our society do not care. God save our mothers!

I believe the word northern here is referring to three northern regions. How can an occurrence in some village at the upper east region be titled northern women. The issue of witch craft is a believe that relates to all tribes in Ghana. How it is handled is a matter of local beliefs and customs. It is irritating to see people who know nothing about northern customs write so narrowly on an issue that is country wide.

A man with a 25 inch long penis goes to his doctor to complain that he is having a problem with this cumbersome instrument and has had more than one complaint. "Doctor," he asked, in total frustration, "is there anything you can do for me?" The doctor replies, "Medically son, there is nothing I can do. But, I do know this witch who may be able to help you." So the doctor gives him directions to the witch.

The man calls upon the witch and relays his story. "Witch, my penis is 25 inches long and I need help. Can anything be done to help me? You are my last hope!" The witch stares in amazement, scratches her head, and then replies, "I think I may be able to help you. Do this. Go deep into the forest. You will find a pond. In this pond, you will find a frog sitting on a log. This frog has magic. You say to frog, will you marry me? When the frog says no, you will find five inches less to your problem."

The man's face lit up and he dashed off into the forest. He called out to the frog, "Will you marry me?" The frog looked at him dejectedly and replied, "NO." The man looked down and suddenly his penis was 5 inches shorter. "WOW," he screamed out loud, "This is great!!" But at 20 inches it wass still too long, so he asked the frog again. "Frog, will you marry me?" the guy shouted. The frog rolled its eyes back in its head and screamed back, "NO!" The man felt another twitch in his penis, looked down, and it was another 5 inches shorter. The man laughed, "This is fantastic." He looked down at his penis again, 15 inches long, and reflected for a moment Fifteen inches is still a monster, just a little less would be ideal.

Grinning, he looked across the pond and yelled out, "Frog will you marry me?" The frog looked back across pond shaking its head, "How many times do I have to tell you? NO, NO, NO!!"

IN 1971 THE WHOLE TAKORADI WAS SAD ABOUT THE DEATH OF DR AYENSU DWAMENA ONE OF THE FIRST GHANA MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATES.
THERE WERE REPORTS THAT ONE OF HIS GIRLFRIENDS WHO WAS A NURSE AT EFFIA NKWANTA HOSPITAL GAVE HIM SOME CONCOCTION SO THAT HE WOULD LOVE HER.
THE INVESTIGATIONS CAME TO A DEAD END.
WITCHCRAFT IS VERY DESTRUCTIVE.
THE MAN WITH 25 INCH PENIS ENDED WITH NO PENIS.

Those who are disputing the existence of witches should bear in mind that there are witch school in Manhattan. One will be put through some rituals and upon completing one will be a witch. Dispute that Google witchcraft school and see if you not find any. The Whites see witchcraft as a religion and they are deep into it. It is real likewise Ghost. These are Ghostbusters in the US who can investigate ghostly activities with modern technology and come out with positive answer. We should stop rubbishing the existence of these spirits because they are real.
