Dove; A Town Where It Is A Taboo To Menstruate, Give Birth And Bury The Dead
It is a taboo for women to give birth to babies or even menstruate in Dove, a town in the Mafi Traditional Area of the Central Tongu District.
As such, those expecting their menstruation and pregnant women in labour are by whatever possible means carried out of the town. They only return after delivery and after their menses have stopped.
This revelation was made by Dr Joseph Nuertey, the Volta Regional Medical Superintendent, when he delivered the state of health care in the region during the first general meeting of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs (VRHC) at Ho.
Dr Nuertey lamented that because of the age-long taboo, all efforts by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to establish a health facility to take care of birth and other issues had proven futile. He added that the taboo also forbade the burial of the dead in the town.
The medical superintendent, therefore, appealed to the VRHC to use their good offices to appease the gods in the area to lift the taboo. Dr Nuertey's revelation left the traditional rulers dumbfounded.
This prompted the Paramount Chief of the Battor Traditional Area, Togbega Patamia Dzekley VII, to say that he would immediately contact the chief and elders of Dove to see what could be done to resolve the issue
In most circumstances, it is the women, who are mostly farmers that nurture the children until maturity. According to the medical superintendent, he has been told that the gods of the town frown on anybody who flouts the taboo.
Dr Nuertey announced that maternal mortality in the region continued to be too high and this he attributed to the inadequate number of medical personnel and facilities in the region.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwasi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwasi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwasi Prat can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Prat and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratts recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Patt has the gut to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!
The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”
The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?
The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

Kwaku go and google Guan and learn a little bit of YOUR history: Gonjas are GUANS. Accept the truth.
'Gonja (also Ghanjawiyyu) was a kingdom in northern Ghana; the word can also refer to the people of this kingdom. The Gonja are a Guan people who have been influenced by both Akan people and Mande people. With the fall of the Songhai Empire (c. 1600), the Mande Ngbanya clan moved south, crossing the Black Volta and founding a city at Yagbum. Under the leadership of Naba'a, the Ngbanya expanded rapidly, conquering several neighbors in the White Volta valley and beginning a profitable gold trade with the Akan states through nearby Begho. By 1675, the Gonja established a paramount chief, called the Yagbongwura, to control the kingdom. The Ngbanya dynasty has controlled this position from its founding to the present day, with only two brief interregnums. The current Yagbongwura, Bawah Abudu Doshie, has held his position since 2000.
Precolonial Gonja society was stratified into castes, with a ruling class, a Muslim trader class, an animist commoner class, and a slave class. Its economy depended largely on trade in slaves from Central Africa[1] and kola nuts, particularly through the market town of Salaga, sometimes called the "Timbuktu of the South." Wikipedia.
The Gonja language is a Tano language within the Kwa languages family, closely related to Akan languages.[2]
Guans are believed to be the first settlers in the modern day Ghana. They are scattered across all the regions in Ghana. Guans speak distinct languages which are different from the major languages in Ghana except Gonja. However, some of these Guan languages are influenced by major languages in Ghana, depending on where a particular Guan tribe is located. Guans in the Volta Region include Akpafu/Lolobi, Buem, Nkonya, Likpe, Logba, Anum-Boso, Amedzofe, etc. In the central region we have the Effutu, Awutu and Senya in Winneba and Bawjiase areas. There are Larteh and Kyerepong in the Eastern region. The Gonja people in the North and part of Brong Ahafo. Guans being the first settlers in Ghana, some were assimilated into the cultures of the major ethnic groups in the various regions we have today. Thus, some indigenes of Kpeshie in Greater Accra and Nzema, Sefwi, Ahanta etc. in the Western region may also trace their roots to Guans. The indigenes of most of the Fantes in the central region including Asebu, Edna, Aguafo etc. as well as Agona can also trace their origins from Guans. Presently, it is accepted that the Guan people can be found in five regions in Ghana: Volta, Nothern, Central, Eastern, and Brong Ahafo Regions.

One doesn't know the mind of Kwesi Pratt. He can be likened to a woman who jumps from one bed to another. His outburst about the President's appointments shows he is positioning himself ready to jump over to the other man. If he has not been desperate to move out of the President's 'house', he would have used his cordial relation with the President or, give him the due respect, to approach him to give his disapproval and listened to what the President had to say.

Let us not forget that Pratt has been a friend of Nana Addo long before Mills and Mahama, yet see how he has criticized Nana Addo. The problem with Pratt is that he criticizes as if he has a problem with the person. Again, he expresses his opinion as if they are facts. Another thing is that even when he gets it wrong, he refuses or finds it difficult to apologise, which makes it look as if his statements are deliberate. My opinion is that under Mills he had a previlage position he is no longer enjoying. It could be money or the ear of Mills.

this a good way to keep kwesi pratt quiet, does he no right to critise?
Ndc.
KWESI PRATT IS LONG TALK AS HIS TEETH:
Mr. President, the merciless criticism of an honest friend is a thousand times more valuable than the soothing praise-singing of sycophants. Pratt is a friend of the NDC
YOU SEE,KWESI PRATT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE PREZ TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ROLES OF THESE 3 WISE MEN WOULD BE SO THAT HE WILL KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT SITTING ON RADIO TO SPEAK AND NOW EVERYBODY RIDICULE THE PREZ IS JUST NOT PALATABLE ...

Let us not forget that Pratt has been a friend of Nana Addo long before Mills and Mahama, yet see how he has criticized Nana Addo. The problem with Pratt is that he criticizes as if he has a problem with the person. Again, he ...

I THINK Kwesi Pratt IS MORE CONFUSED THAN John Mahama HIMSELF.
PRESIDENT N VICE PRESIDENT BY PROXY: that is Asiedu Nketia and Kwesi Pratt
They are the ones who are calling the shots from behind the scenes
Pratt you are right Mahama is seemed to know but he has ended up angering the NDC members. It is a fact if there is election now Mahama would lose miserably. He should change the pride in him and listen to discerning views.

MAHAMA MUST CORRECT THIS ERRORS. THANK KWASI FOR HIS COMMENTS. VIVA DEMOCRACY!
Why will the Al-Hajj news paper bring poor Lordina Mahama into this matter in view of the poor woman's intellectual level and the fact that her understanding of issues is very limited? Is it because they want the public to ri ...

Kwasi Pratt must be handled with care considering the harm he caused Rawlings' and Kufuor's regimes. I think any leader with good intentions should not fear Kwesi Pratt.
President Mahama will best be known not by his words but by his actions.I think some of us are beginning to have a sense of who he really is.
If Kwasi Pratt criticized Mahama on his tribal appointment given every post to the northerners what have it got to do with the first lady who have no constitutional say in governance.
...so if Pratt is JM's pal, he shd not point out a lapse? John Mahama is ALWAYS right - he does NO wrong. Bravo
MAHAMA IS BIG TRIBALIST EVER,EI GHANA HMMMM,MAHAMA FAKE,LIES,AND CORRUPTS,WOMANIZER,PERIOD
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PRAT CRITISIZING THE PRSIDENT .HE SAYS THINGS THAT FAVORS THE NDC AND THE PRESIDENT ,SO HIM CRITIZING THE PRESIDENT GENUINELY IS NOT WRONG,I THINK.ENOUGH OF THIS OVER PROTECTIVE ATTITUDE FROM BATU ...

MAHAMA KNOS BEST.
What a joke. When Pratt was bombarding and inciting hate on Nana and the NPP it felt and looked good to JMD. You see my brother, when the left finger is pointing north, the right pauses for direction. When it finds it, you ca ...

Mahamah did not minced words when he declared his Northern agenda.
I can bet my last Cedi that the so -called Fanti confedracy including the vice president will remain on the periphery of Govt.
SO ALHAJI BATURE IS THE SEASONED JOURNALIST IN GHANA NOW? GIVE ME A BREAK!HE IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! JUST RUBBISH, GARBAGE AND TRASH NEWS.
No substance in this. Waste of time.
