  George, this is an interesting piece of undocumented claim that captures certain key moments in Ghana's history. A trip down memory lane.
  
  But, I suppose, today, the immigrants of different nationalities and ethnicities don't identify themselves as such.

  Thank you Mr Abugre from Zawse-Bawku for taking some of us down memory lane. Yes, cosmopolitan Bawku was the place to be way back uhnnn? Take about the Congo station dudes, London boy, l see more than that, sea never dry, Isiu (lssifu) migu-mugu and their riotous behavior aptly described in your write up. In fact not forgetting the Hausa's and their "gambara" entertainment. You miss old Bawku, abiee? Stay blessed, Yaro'n Boko.

  Hope part 2 will soon follow. Wish someone will write about crazy Navrongo and the border at Paga with its crocodile ponds.

  I really enjoy this memory lane. Sadly, many of us no more care to revist where we come from. This also reminds me of Mr Amenyo Kofi who, once in a while, take us through the same lane. Thanks uncle Sydney( Australia)for this important reminder. We need more of these to relax our nerves from these greedy politicians, at least. Some of us are too tired of politics everytime on this important page.

  Good historical piece. I was expecting more .It is as if you have cut it short. Let's have the full piece please . As a student of history I am very interested. The story of Bawku is very rich and should be told in full.

  The Danquah/Busia tradition historians have consciously edited our history to favor their political leanings which is really bad.For instance, I grew up to learn from my grandpa, that Akuffo Addo's father, when he was the ceremonial president diverted tons of gold bars belonging to the State on its way to the UK into his private account in London. He later explained to Ghanaians that the gold bars were missing on the high seas.How absurd.But this is missing in our history books.This wealth is what Akuffo Addo is enjoying all alone now!.So when people say Nana Addo is rich, I know the source of his wealth. How many Ghanaians know this. It's indeed a pitty.

  Nobody has edited anything for their political gains. Granted it was so Zuri, having been a student of historian, i know we have so many sources of history that we can dwell on as people. There are a lot of undocumented or unwritten sources. So u shouldn't talk as if it is only the documented or written histories that are genuine and reliable. Also, the fact that a historical account has been written down or documented is no guarantee for accuracy or without biases. Thanks!
