Worry about the kusasi, in the Flaggstaff House, he is incompetent!
Away with your stampede festival and the nonsensical audacity to disturb our peace of mind.

Saa, reality has not sunk in your head yet? Do you really think Bawku will ever go back to the olden days? No! Kussasis are the majority, the educated, the economic power, and political power regardless of which ever party is in place. The youth of bawku for over 30years have never seen a MAMPRUSIS chief before. The small MAMPRUSIS area in Bawku is decaying and the whole town is moving towards the Kusasi area. Listen, Kusasis out number all the other tribes 10 times. Nothing will ever be like before, so stop hallucinating. You bring one gun out you face with 100s so forget that. Kusasis are not going to sit down like before and MAMPRUSIS kill them free, never. Cant't you see that you the MAMPRUSIS are surrounded by Kusasis north, south, east and west? Where will you be going for your economic activity? Thru zebila? Thru misiga to sankasi or thru mognori and won't be surrounded by Kussasis? Think well. You better look for something better to do and stop thinking about samanpeede. Stampede will only continue to grow bigger and bigger. If you want damba then go to tamale or nalerigu where it is celebrated. Hey! you can celebrate it in your little conner there no one cares. Even akuffour Addo will not honour your invitation. There is not enough of you to celebrate anything like that in Bawku anyway. The reality is that the Kusasis will be stronger by the day, nothing you can do about that, they are many and educated and wealthy.. Forward ever backwards never.
God has spoken and nothing will change it. Sorry saa.

Where wud you pass to go down south if Mamprusis want to be so tribalistic like the kusasis? and who has told you Kusasis are more educated and have economic power that the Mamprusis? that shows how you are very myopic? do you know how long South Africans suffered under apartheid but finally took over their land? you such a pathetic myopic minded ignoramus.

The pure MAMPRUSIS live in their land and Kusasis have not gone there to claim it is their land and have not ask to be chiefs there. Kusasis are not fighting the MAMPRUSI tribe. It is those mix mix MAMPRUSIS in bawku who are causing problems. Why don't you go to MAMPRUSIS land and settle if you surrend Kusasis? It is even a lie. Mention the surroundings. Frafras are the ones next after west Kusasis and busanga a the east. Burkina and and Togo the rest. The fact is that the real MAMPRUSIS understand where the Kusasis are coming from. Hey! the British can boast of1i00 rulers before Ghana's kwame NKRUMAH. But they still understand Ghana is not their land. The reality is that Bawku will never ever go back to those days. You will die without seeing a MAMPRUSIS chief in bawku.

Mahama needs to be pragmatic and fair. He appears to be a more even handed person than his distant predecessor the mercurial and unpredictable Rawlings who very likely during one of his drug- inspired moments made irrational decisions about the Bawku inter-tribal disputes which have since had catastrophic consequences for the people of this unhappy place.

To set the records straight, Mamprusis form 45%, kusasis 30% and the remaining 25% is made up of the other tribes within the Bawku township. My question to resolution or whatever you may call yourself, how many kusasis chiefs have been enskinned in Bawku since it inception, the answer is ONLY 2 that is abugrago and his son aninchema,but the Mamprusis have 12 Bawku Nabas before Rawlings imposed aninchema on the people of Bawku. I refer every Ghanaian who wants to find out truth about the Bawku chieftaincy dispute to go to the archives of the National House of Chiefs and stop listening to these kusasis propangandist who don't even have/know their line of succession and are not gazetted in the National House of Chiefs records.The people of Bawku do not even recognize this so-called samanpiid which is always characerise by violent acts. I will end by advising the kusasis to only respect their govt-imposed chief since the good people of Bawku will never recognize that DIRTY thing called chief. Bawku deserves better

Bawku is not made of bawku town alone. In fact, bawku town is just I/50 of bawku. It is just like saying bantama is Kumasi. No MAMPRUSIS will ever rule kusasi land again. So forget it

KUSAUG land is vast. Just like frafra, or nzema ewe. All borderland large tribes crossover to other countries. Frafras, qurishes, Gonja's, Kusasis etc in the north have residues in other countries. You obviously don't know your history. One of you said Kusasis have just 2 chiefs and MAMPRUSIS have had 12 chiefs in bawku. Do you know the British can boast of over 200 rulers of Ghana over their 300years of ruling Ghana and Ghana is still not a British country? Before your twelve chiefs in bawku who were the chiefs? Bawku is a kusasi word. Kusasis had tindanas and not the chieftency institutions? The British instituted the MAMPRUSI chiefs through out the upper region- indirect rule.....Bawku sweet you more than your own motherland and you don't want to let go, and Kusasis didn't push for it either that is why you got to rule that long. Why did you give up bolga, Bulsa and navorongo. Why do you go to nalerigu to install chief and not in bawku? Because that was were you were picked from and dumped in bawku. Please don't let me lecture you on your history. The British have all the history so it will never erase. That is why the Supreme Court kept denying you each time you try. House of chiefs can never help you. You will never ever see a MAMPRUSI chief in bawku again just like your children have never seen one. Get it in your head and rest your soul.

If by majority you mean Yangas and Nabdams changing their identity to Kusasis, then I'm ashamed of you. I know you are aware the Kusasi chief Abugrago Aninchema is a Yanga man and NOT a Kusasi. So if your overlord is a Yanga man and not a Kusasi what about you the surbodinates?
And for your information the Mole Dagbani Kingdom started in Bawku. So Bawku is the origin of Mamprusis and not a strange land for them.
