Spiritually , I strongly believe dipo rite has negative side where young women mostly are given as brides to marine spirits and other demonic agents unknowingly judging by how the rite is carried out. Our culture would have been the best the world over if we able to do away with the idolic or the idolic part is thrown over board. Do you know the number of marine agents, witches/wizards , demonic agents espcially Asmodee and other demons which are responsible for spiritual marriages, prostitution, etc in attendance anytime this rite is perfomed ? No one can boldly tell me that exposing our young ladies to the full glare of these demons is approved of by God Almighty. I aint speaking as a saint because on numerous occasions I fornicated with some of thes beautiful women from Krobo in Accra(Circle,55 at New Town) Kumasi(Adum), and Obuasi when I was leaving worldly but thanks God Almighty that I am now saved and doing the work of God Almighty as a pastor after deliverance by the Holy Spirit. The elders in charge of this dipo rite have genuine intention but the spiritual side is not deeply taken care of properly hence the women suffer the consequences. I fornicated with about twenty of these ladies(20) from Krobo alone though the number of ladies I slept with were more than that. Bless Be to Jesus Christ for allowing the Holy Spirit to arrest me about eight(8) years ago and helping me hate fornication completely. Krobo women need Jesus Christ the light and not dipo rite. Jesus is the way , the truth and the light.

INSTEAD TRYING TO RATIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE, WE GO INTO THE STUPIDITY OF ATTRIBUTING THIS TO DEMONIC AND MAMI WATA NAD MARINE SPIRITS. CANT WE SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BY LOOKING AT THE ROOT CAUSES INSTEAD OF TALKING SUPERSTITION?

THERE IS NO MAMI WATA OR PAPAWATA OR WHATEVER? WE CAN USE OUR BRAINS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF THE DEMONIC MAMI WATA NONSENSE.

I heard the sacred stone the women sit on has a penis planted on it. The girls sit on the penis 3 times. Is it true?

Moses u slept with more than 20 ladies.20 were krobos and the rest were from where? Does that are not krobos were they also initiated into the rites.u see u have no point my brother. I am 100% krobo and before I married knew no man till I met my husband but I had my dipo rite alright.fornication is a sin in Christian perspective but to certain religions it is not.I knew the God I serve hates it but other krobo ladies don't believe in Christianity hence the bad behavior.I was not exorcised from your so called demonic spirits.it is just what God says we should not do as Christians that is helping some of us.if not after sex is fun not only to the krobo girl but to every normal human being.you said now u have been arrested by holy spirit that is why u don't chase girls what will you do if u are released by the spirit? Just pray for all men and women who do not know the word of God to know it not only krobo ladies.fornication is everywhere.

How can a culture or tradition that teaches Krobo women chastity make them promiscuous? As a Krobo man yourself, do you believe this nonsense that Krobo women are promiscuous than all the tribes in Ghana. What nonsense is that? You must be a buffoon to paint the who Krobo tribe with one brush.

If you ask me, I will tell you Krobo women are the most beautiful women in Ghana, and perhaps that is why they may have many suitors (I am just speculating). I am sorry, but this is worst article I have read on this Ghanaweb. A complete waste of my time.

Sorry to say this but the truth is if you don't have a spiritual insight to the things in this world that you see with your physical eyes you won't understand what Moses wrote. That is, you will speak like a flowing water from the tap; it comes just like that. There are lot of genuine men and women of God who testify to what Moses wrote through deliverance of such ones and how the women involved spoke through the demons which inhabited them that they contracted them through dipo rite and other traditional practices full of idolatry them making them promiscuous. Therefore, please don't just attack the writers and people who comment without having a clue about what they write. If you don't have a spiritual insight about what the writer said in his message, you would think that he was probably attacking and tarnishing the image of his own which was far from the truth. The writer didn't say Krobo men or people are not great or don't become stars rather he was trying to find out whether dipo rite was the cause of promiscuity among Krobo women or not and somebody decided to set their own questions and answers thereby beating about the bush completely. Dr Raphael Nyarkotey Obu is a Krobo himself and he has painstakingly taken so many years to delve deeply into this topic before coming out and not to tarnish the image of his own people as some of the comments here claim. Though there is promiscuity among every ethnic group in Ghana, Krobo women top the list in every ashawo centre one visits in Ghana here, especially where the women rent rooms and practice it. Hence, the fact that Kokoor was able to abstain from it till marriage doesn't mean it is not an established fact. Let's be ojective when trying to find the root cause to our issues instead of thinking otherwise and attacking personalities without any facts.

If you call yourself a man God is can't ascertain the truth but rely on rumors then you are a disgrace to the calling. Jesus never condemn any of his tradition. Now answer this simple question. " all the promiscuous ladies in other tribes did they also sit on the dipo stone"? I think you are lost yourself...and your allegations are unfounded..I have been you takoradi all the ashawo ladies are non krobos? Come to accra and see the ashawo people are other tribes. You are being blinded folded by your own fiction of imagination. You better learn your bible very well and come out with facts
The fact that a man of God has said something doesn't make it the truth just like you arrive throwing trash out your mouth and you want us to take it as the truth?

Yes, Dipo and the whole chastity mentality among the Krobos is rather counter-productive to the very condition they try so hard to uphold.

I have info which might be of interest but can't put it in the public domain, even though in a book. It is how the mind-set of a Krobo captive led her to having a number kids with 5 different men in order to avoid bringing the wraths of the Krobo gods on her because she couldn't undergo the Dipo rituals.

It's very pathetic that one will argue that exposing ones nakedness leads to promiscuity so by extension the argument is that when you go the beach half naked on a holiday, you will come back home being promiscuous alleluia..... you know most time I find it very ridiculous the way some us think. I'd that we are so blocked headed that we just accept anything a lunatic says without asking questions ? How can a puberty rite aimed at preventing teenage pregnancy suddenly because promiscuous? Even Jesus christ was born into a culture and never spoke ill of any . All those who condemned culture in the name of religion are fake Christians. I challenge any one to give me date and documents or event where krobos were cursed by okomfo anokye? When people who can't read and write fabricate stories then we the educated ones fall in line out of mediocrity. There is nothing wrong with dipo and until someone has a proven that it leads to promiscuity let all the ignorant people shut up. There are more prostitutes in other tribes who don't undergo dipo so how about that? Just give us a break and stop displaying your ignorance.
