    The Akans have a simple way of solving the issue of infidelity on the part of the woman, the matrilineal lineage system. Most other tribes I know off employ spiritual means to curtail that taboo topic.

    Very sound culture just that it is too tilted in favour of polygamists. However the man or the couple's children may also suffer the consequences of the woman's infidelity. But does it really work or just coincidence?

    Will the men too be barred not to sleep with many women. This is typical nonsense. Treating women as if they’re sex slaves and bread winners of the family. Because women do the farming whiles their lazy men go to the market ...

    Can 'Tindan-lur' be used on Aplanke Bawumia to curtail his lies? And can 'Tindan-lur' also be used on Bawumia, Akufo-Addo and the EC to make sure they don't cheat in the coming election?

    Will a dog head get me a virgin damsel in Frafra kingdom? I am a well endowed Dagau looking for a beautiful Frafra woman.

    It is not frafras only. Majority of tribes in the north practice that custom. The woman is married to the god of the family and can't sleep around. Good but stupid.

    Fra-Fra means greetings. The tribe is called Grune. The people of Bolgatanga and surrounding areas should start educating Ghanaians about the name of their tribe.

  • Kubut3 1 year ago

    Good to know @ Moses. These are some of the stuff that they should teach the kids in school. Yes we can still learn about the white culture without ignoring our own. Right now, it is one way.

    Parliament should slap this 'Nu'uhe gme'a' practice on Julor House to ensure that Julor House doesn't continue looting Ghanaians.
