Why would you ascribe this heinous crime which happened at one place to the whole north? This is what is called stereotyping. It is most sad that something bad can happen in one community in the north and tag the crime to the whole vast geographical area. Does this make sense?

For example, if one Akyem man loves smoking wee, will it be right to say that all Akyems are wee smokers? Or the way Sir John loves bat meat and akrantie shit, can we say that all Ashantis love these?

I wonder why the Today Newspaper always twists things to portray the North negatively!

This Karim guy is lying and should be arrested. He needs to bring evidence of these occurrences. Karaga people have strong values including respect for life and I will ask that this Karim guy should be called to Karaga Naa's house to answer questions. It is really annoying to see such untruth being told about Karaga.

That is NDC better Ghana agenda for northners.They are performing rituals so that NDC can retain power, and that won't happen. They should stop killing children for rituals.

Your name alone tells how cheap you can be.you can not give a comment without attacking da Great Ashantis.if you are not ashame of ur tribe why don't you tell da whole world ur tribe's name.this what i been talking abt for yrs now some tribes in Ghana can not do way of evil rituals which they believe so much in it.even some tribes can not go back their communities with something nice and little bit expensive on their body,they have to dress odd way before they accepted.but we think the whole country is Accra whereas most of da regions are still living in 16century and they would still vote on tribal rubbish.

Is this the same person called Aponkye complaining about a negative story & stereotyping people? When on a daily basis the same Aponkye writes negative about Akans, particularly Ashanti's. The word hypocrite comes to mind.

...to the police or any journalist based in Accra to get the perpetrators arrested.

Is it because he is being given an award now. If he knew of a crime being committed and never drew the attention of the relevant authorities to it, he doesn't deserve this award because he stood by and allowed this crime to continue to take place!

I don't know when writers will stop the generalization to bring when things from any part of the North of Ghana pop up.Why always say North when that community has a name? Why do writers don't refer to issues in Southern Ghana as the South but you mention the community by its name? We disorder in Agogo now and is Agogo that's mentioned not even Ashanti region neither to talk of South. It does not speak well of your profession when you can't be specific in issues that put marks on others character and life.Just think of it, we complain that Europeans and the rest of the Western world say African crisis even when it's only in an Island in Africa, that makes Africa look bad and her people are seen as bad people also.If we don't like that tag, then why within us we tag others same way?

The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six ( Christian churches. This was deliberate and not a mistake. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a leader.

Mr. Karim Nayina is a big liar. Of course, there are thousands of malnourished children in parts of Northern Ghana, but NEVER are such children sold out to ritualists for ritual purposes. NEVER!!! MTN Has a responsibility to have gone to Tang and Gaa to verify MR. Karim's story before putting it in the public domain. It is a criminal offence in Ghana to kill someone for ritual purposes, and so Karim's allegations are VERY SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS indeed. The BNI should pick him up and let him lead them to the parents and spiritualists who are engaged in this heinous crime for justice to take its course. Mr. Karim should not go free for telling such a wicked lie about the Karaga people. And I expect the DCE of Karaga and well-meaning people of Tang and Gaa to take up this issue and expose Karim's lies and let the world see that People from the North of Ghana are civilised and will not condone such barbaric practice. Our journalist also know very well that Northern Ghana means the Northern, Upper Esat and Upper West regions. And so if an incident is purported to have happened in the Karaga District, you must say so. You don't put it as if it happened in the whole of Northern Ghana.
