He was truly a great son of Ghana,an illustrious and accomplished citizen.Its sad that some very tribal mafia would never acknowledge it because their blood overflows with visceral hatred.

Instead of promoting harmony,universal brotherhood,love,equilibrium,unity,tolerance,preservation of life,compassion,altruism,justice,generosity,etc,this creature of evil and doom selected and presided over the murder and killing of thousands of Ashantis and other Akans,writing books meant to deprive Ashantis of livelihood,jobs in the government,military, Bank of Ghana,GCB,police,government organizations,navy,ministries,entry into the 3 government universities,HO polytechnic,etc.Writing books inciting the the rest of Ghana to hate and systematically destroy Ashantis(as if Ashantis are also not God's children).Like Kojo Tsikata he thought it is one life only and that he will never reincanate.Thus we see today only EWES as Military officers,every police station in every part of Ghana,etc headed by an Ayigbe man,rapid defence force comprising of only EWES,all the scholarships for EWES,airport jobs for EWES.Awnoonr's manifesto and testament is REALLY BEING FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER by EWES.

To those of your generation who don't know, this man lived by the sword and therefore died by the sword! he was full of hatred in his heart for Ashantis and Akans in general and together with the rest of the Dzulakofe mafia (Kojo Tsikata, Tatsu Tsikata and the rest) masterminded the killing of prominent Ashantis like Gen. Afrifa etc. It's the long arm of God's justice that has taken him away. Look at where he fell; far away from home. We shed no tears for a quintinessential tribalist like Kofi Awoonor!
AWOONOR STOOD BESIDE RAWLINGS AND SAID THAT THE AIM OF THE REVOLUTION WAS TO TAKE AWAY AKANS INFLUENSE IN GHANA ESPECIALLY THE ASHANTIS HE GREATELY REJOYCED WHEN RAWLINGS SLAUGHTERED TWO HEADS OF STATES AND SENIOR MILITARY OFFICIALS 90% OF WHOM WERE NON EWES
IN ONE OF HIS WRITINGS HE SAID THAT HE WAS AN EWE FIRST BEFORE GHANA.
LET THE LORD JUDGE HIM!
I DO NOT SEEK TO DENIGRATE THE OLD PROFESSOR OF MY OLD UNIVERSITY BUT TO COMMENT ON THIS PARTICULAR STATEMENT OF THE TALKATIVE RAWLINGS,NDC FOUNDER:
JOHN JERRY RAWLINGS candidly makes a most poignant revelation here below thus:
"He said it was those qualities that struck him when he first met the Professor during a visit to the University of Cape Coast in 1982 to address students on the principles behind the December 31 Revolution." ----
By 1982 when he came to the UCC NUGS CONGRESS, Rawlings did not therefore know Kofi Awoonor prior to his second coming to power). I remember Rawlings was not so tribalistic and rather moved with radicals from other tribal groupings; but then all changed when he met the Professor who had identified the impoverishment of his people as caused by non-existent Asante hegemony and even written about it to popular condemnation of most scholars.
I was an undergraduate when J J Rawlings visited Cape Coast University in May 1982, where he met Professor Awoonor (pronounced Anlo or “Awona”). I even recalled with fond memories my question to JJ Rawlings on this occasion thus: “For how long will PNDC be provisional”?:
That time the Revolution had just begun with a cosmopolitan mix of young pretenders from different tribal backgrounds such as King Bosu of Winneba, Ato Austin, Chris Atim, James Quarshie, Akata Pore, Totobi Quakyi, and some few Anlos and Ewes. The Ewe hegemony was not pronounced until the chief secessionist socialist politician, Kofi Awoonor, hankering for political power joined up.
Kofi Awoonor was a former Secretary General of Cape Coast based Action Congress Party led by Colonel Bernasko…BUT there was something he was doing in Cape Coast University that caught my eye: As an English Lecturer in the Teacher’s University, and so desperate for political power, he became the mastermind of radical student political agitation against the ‘status quo ante bellum’ until they won and retained political power in Ghana between 1982 and 2000, and still ruling the country as NDC Government from 2008 to 2013.
Rawlings indeed did not know his nyebro until he was introduced by the socialist league students like Totobi Quakyi and Gardiner who used to rendezvous with him in UCC….and the rest is history that ended in such inexplicable tragic circumstance by radical Al Shabab, a group moulded like the pseudo-Nkrumaist revolutionary ideologues.
In his bungalow at Old Site of Cape Vars, student of the left-wing persuasion such as Totobi Quakyi, Avakame, Joe B, Turkson, Philip Gardiner, EKT Aidoo, Kweku Arhin and many others still in present NDC Government flooded there: They were always in Kofi Awoonor’s bungalow: They looked desperate and anxious for power, and rather than go into the world to work will rather than stay on after graduation in the University campus to agitate for more political power until they got it…. The student movement had leaders who will rather read Communist Books than their own Curriculum Readings…Acdemic bibliographies were jettisoned for hard copy socialist ideological Books and that is why in power they are so bereft of ideas to administer a country…
With radicals as Kofi Awoonor preaching their bile, it added to the spirit of instability in Ghana. Having being caught in coup de tat with his ewe chums of Brigadier Kattah and some evil Anloga power hungry men, they turned their attention to organising caucuses of Student Militant Groups to wage insurrection against the “bourgeoisie”. I used to hear them crying out aloud: "Workers of the World; Unite: You have nothing to lose but your chains". They were all united by one word – POVERTY and therefore HATED the Rich in society. But these people were very poor because of their laziness. They were all stuck in the Ivory Towers not willing to soil their hands by going out to work in the real world after their graduation as they looked at successful men with much envy and jealousy. Kofi Awoonor and Ama Atta Aidoo were doing in University of Cape Coast, what Fui Tsikata, Kwamena Ahwoi, Tsatsu and other left wing political pursuers were doing in University of Ghana in Legon: they gave accommodation to radical students cast in the Nkrumaist/Castro mould to forment trouble in Ghana …It was all glib talking of poisonous nature…preaching for a revolution with no objective of development but equalisation: They were the people who did not want Rawlings and Boakye Djan to hand over power to a Constitutional Civilian Rule with their bellicose and infantile cries of Let the Blood Flow: I had been watching the Student Radicals who had confronted the corrupt Military Regime of Kutu Acheampong and even lost their Secretary Yorke in the famous Car Accident that caused Kofi Totobi Quakyi to limp on.
When I was in Sixth Form in Adisco I used to see these so-called Nkrumaists and student leaderss trooping to Kofi Awoonor’s house in their Che Guevara T Shirts, black berets, faded jeans, Car Tyre sandals of Afro Moses, unkempt and wearing long beards as the present day Taliban. Infact they were the Taliban of the time.
Kofi Awoonor spent all his leisure time with these talkative socialist intelligentsia, feeding them both food and ideology all for his political kingdom…They were the people who joined the Student Task Force right from the onset of the revolution and then introduced their guru to the empty headed J J Rawlings: With his recent experience in 1979 Political Campaign as ACP Secretary, and having written a Book that advocated for secession of the Anlos and Ewes, Professor Kofi Awoonor was sold the perfect person. As Rawlings needed to pursue a bitter envious war against successful men and women of Ghana the meeting with the chief propagator of ethnocentrism was a match made in heaven to redeem their people and take over the top echelons of power and administration.
I saw all these things and sooner than later I will write properly about these things.
Ghana has suffered at the hands of bad people, indeed!...These radicals were the ones who sold Kofi Awoonor to Rawlings in May 1982, when Rawlings came to the August NUGS CONGRESS to inaugurate the new leadership of Amoah Larbi, Hans Djaba, and Dan Botwe etc. who had defeated the socialist brigade of Nazir Brown in UST for the first time. It was in this August Congress and personally saw all the socialist agitators who joined the Revolution to rule the country from 1982 to 2000, including Kofi Adu, Kyeretwie Poku, Obre, Adu Gyamfi (Cotopaxi), Amissah Arthur, Goosie Tanoh, Karl Marx Hamilton (now writing as Margaret Jackson), Atampugre, B B Bayor, Philip Gardiner, Samora Machel Turkson, Oteng Agyei etc.
When Ghanaians were being murdered by the revolution, you never heard a word from these leeches and parasites who have ruled us for most of their personal lives. They all received free education from cradle to manhood but destroyed it for others. They cried out aloud: Let the Blood Flow…Let the Blood Flow…Let the Blood Flow indeed.
The Talibanisation of Ghana under the above named radicals have come to bite the roost…As my Father’s at the coast say in their local parlance “Itur edur bon a; ibi ka woano”! We used to interprete as “If you throw a ball against the wall…it comes back to hit you”. May God touch the hearts of wicked men to repent of their sins before it revisits their next generation!

Princewilly, if Kotoka, Amevor and other Ewes were killed by some Akans, or whoever, it is wrong. It is not right. Kennedy Agyepong is a bigot and he is known for that. Awoonor was a very educated man. He was not a semi-illiterate man! Yet he spewed so much hatred and triabalism. He was the one who orchestrated the killing of the 3 high court judges and other civilians. He was not an illiterate military soldier. He went on to write his hatred down for everyone to read. Yes he was that bold. May the lord God judge him appropriately.

In the eyes of a buffoonery ayigbe julo trokosi man, the nation's number one self confessed divisionist tribalist is a great man.
Kofi Awoonor a great man?
The man who had served prison terms for consistent undermining the national security and one of the chief architect of the fake bloody 31st December revolution that came violently to take the entire people and country hostage by the gun only to kill and to enrich themselves and their kinsmen and criminal cronies.
He who draws the sword shall certainly fall by the sword.
No wonder this fake socialist though say he was an Nkrumahist yet was strongly against the change of name of his trokosi national traitor nyebro, Kotoka whose overthrow of the visionary leader, the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah stopped the heartbeat of the nation's social economic development by his CIA sponsored coup that saw the end of the life of mother Ghana.
Ghana would have been a far better nation but for these inward looking demonic worshipers and trbalist bigots from Togoland and Dahomey who are like infectious parasites.
Thank God Ghana is without the like of evil Kofi Awonors. Others shall follow soon!!!

My great grand mother Amalagya Ahlijah left Anyako to Klikor Afegame to become a servant in the Togbe Agyamah shrine.After some years she married in the Nugah Agbenyezi family.
Recently Dr Ahoofe wrote an article about how a man stole a chicken and was beaten by people in his village before a good Samaritan intervened.
in the village of the ewes,stealing is a taboo and it kept a lot of ewes in check.
Trohovie has it good deeds and bad dees.
Abolishing of Trohovie has created many Ewe gangsters who have also joined other tribes to steal.
WOYOME would not have been a hero to the Ewes of the Trohovie era.
There are many African Americans whose parents were slaves but they did not insult their fellow blacks as being slaves.
Though i am half Akan half ewe raised in Takoradi,i am still a charismatic crook like my Akan,Ewe,Hausa,Ga and Dagomba cousins.
