  Perhaps you want to write something less trashy? People like you said the same thing when I first broke the Metro Mass story; and then we woke up to all the trouble there. Your name betrays you.

  Francis Dery, I salute you!Did i here someone say speculative,conjectures and trash and yet can not even pen down one sentence to challenge Francis.I'm completely astonished that there is no one within the Nandom Royal family who has what it takes intellectually and academically to challenge or prove otherwise in respect of the Nandom Chieftaincy issues Francis Dery has been writing about for so long a time. So no one in the Royal family of Nandom has indepth knowledge, history, procedures and processes etc about the Nandom Chieftaincy to counter Francis? atlease on this medium. Honourable ministers,paliamentarians and people in authority etc are all reading his articles Mr Kpengson Ray.your Judgement makes no impact at all because decerning people are reading.

  But are you really called "Ko Naa" or is it a case of a coward calling someone else a coward just to deflect attention? Cheers!

  Ko Naa, i think this platform and the issues raised by Francis Dery is bigger than you. If you spell "Michael" as "Micheal", "Yir" as "Yire" i will advice you to go back to your books and stop displaying your ignorance here.Your claim is just unintelligent if you really understand the Nandom Chieftaincy issues. Ghanaweb is a serious and credible platform where people in Ghana and around the world seek information okay! Do you even understand Francis Dery's English at all?

  Francis,continue the good work, through your articles.some people do not just have the intellectual capacity to understand the issues and analysis you put across as an astute, unbiased writer.You have written copiously not just on the Nandom chieftaincy but on issues of national interest as well in the pass. so just keep on educating Ghanaians and the Royal family in Nandom who have ears to listen to listen and ignore these SHS graduates with their bad grammer crediting your stories to some one you don't even know.Through your articles the wise and courageous men in the Royal family will one day ensure that never again will they allow or condone with people who do not deserve to be Nandom Naa use subterfuge to become one as has been the case of Charles Imoro."No man or a group of people reigns unchallenged forever"," What ever has a begining has an end" truth crash to earth shall rise again.

  This bogus institution call chieftainship in Ghana should be abolished to save some life. This circuit clown and palpable arrogant aplomb institution was established by the colonials to facilitate their dominance over the fetish priest who are the land lords. The land lords were there before the chiefs came. But now they(chiefs) want to control the land affairs as sanctimonious owners of the land and including the citizens.
  The overwhelming reality is that most of these so call chiefs (educated)are out to embezzle and pilfer from the common people who are poverty striking. This is a chronic endemic in most chieftainship occupants in Ghana particularly in the north.
  The vicarious victimization of the land lords by the colonials, heralded the current problems everywhere in the African soil particularly in Ghana. These traitors who went into kahook with the colonials had their spirit anointed by a person called JJ Rawlings who is a son of a white man. He indirectly wanted to upholds his father's conquest ground by saying that all chiefs should be educated. These guys are NOT accepted by the villagers as members of the culture. Some of these educated people have no clue of the historical sun rotation of the particular provident they rule. Most of them grew up and were educated outside the towns they rule. Due to this absolutely lack of rheumy historical facts they go into harebrained mantra on dealing with the people. The various chiefs stygian progress for these communities and steal funds from donations.
  There are some chiefs in the Upper West Region who diverted monies donated for widows into their own pockets. The wife is not a widow but she is the secretary to them. The husband is the general manager of these funds from the donations. He used the monies to buy goats instead bulls according to him. The bulls were to plow the land for the widows to have farms where they could produce their own crops of various kind.
  When the donors came back for followed up, the chief told them(donors)that the old ladies wanted goats and chickens. Consequently, the money was used to buy the goats and the chickens. But un-fortunately they all died out of goat and chicken diseases. JUST LIKE THE GUINEA FOWLS FLED TO BURKINA
  Since this man became the chief for this town, he orchestrated numerous land disputes between him and four of the sections in the town. Currently, there is a court case on the land issue between him and the Tendaabas. Meanwhile, he lost the last three in court yet he is fighting to win the fourth case. This half baked educated illiterate should be investigated for his removal from the thrown immediately.
  The SHS students openly denounced him not to teach them. They planned to um-bush and stone him but the board of regent-ship had to step in to save his life.
  This recalcitrant never relent his shenanigans as I speak. He flatly refused to sign documents for the SHS to be built on the large area donated by the Tendaabas for his own altruistic reasons. This is the kind of chief he is for this nice and progressive town in Upper West.
  I suggest the Northern Regional House of Chiefs should investigate and remove him from the seat immediately. He is a disgrace to the chieftainship institution. He greatly lacks modicum of dignity.

  I do not know what is wrong with Tuuviel Benni, if you want to be a chief go ahead and let your people nominate you and do not disturb us here. You have turned yourself in a ghost writing on websites without your real name which is Benni Tuuviel according to his own spelling.
  Lets see your picture my dear, if you are not a coward and a liar.

  Much as this write up is insightful, the fact that the writer continues to hide his identity raises legitimate questions about his intentions. Francis Dery has written extensively on the Nandom chieftaincy dispute sometimes revealing some interesting issues, or do I say alleging?. He must be very interesting in the welfare of Nandom, but who is Francis Dery?. If indeed you are a family member interested in the well-being of Nandom which hinges so much on the resolution of this conflict, why don't you avail yourself of the platform that has been created for family members to dialogue on the way forward?. Your otherwise laudable contributions are rubbished just because you are faceless. And when you call people names, of course, you will be called names. Rev. Fr Stephen Koyah, Rev David Kpelle and Prof. Delle (and I don't know who you refer to as Dr. Delle because there are several of them) are all identifiable and the assertion that they could not be reached for their comments is far fetched. I will not want to join in the speculation that Francis Dery is the same as my senior brother TV. And he is not a coward. If on the other hand Francis Dery is just a friend to the Gbullu family who is interested in seeing an end to the chieftaincy conflict in Nandom, he would do the family a great lot of good by making available to family members, copies of the documents he has referred to in his various writings.

  I am disappointed in the fact that you assume I am hiding my identity. Further, that you reduce the "write-up" to one of identities, hidden or otherwise is surprising since I am told it is your area of expertise. Like you, I would not like to add to the speculation of an hidden identity or not. However, I can answer some of your questions:
  
  1. Dr. Delle is the same one with a clinic in Osu, not the dead one who was in Germany.
  
  2. I am unaware, not being a family member, that there is a platform for the family. I do know that there were some Unity Talks going on, but currently have been stymied by interference and manipulations namely my the same people you seem upset that I am alleging their malevolent involvement.
  
  
  3. Finally, if you provide your email address to me at dery.francis@yahoo.com, I will provide copies of some of the documents I have. In fact, many of those letters originated from one of your relatives - David Kpelle.
  
  Cheers.

  The writer is a family member by name Tuuviel Benni, he wants to be chief of Nandom. So whatever means he will use he is ready.
