“Adinkra” express various themes, beliefs and the ethnological philosophy of the Ghanaian. The symbols are induced with proverbial interpretations.
“Adi-nkra” which can be translated to mean “farewell or goodbye” in Akan, is a collection of symbols that express various themes, beliefs and Ghanaian traditional philosophy. The Akan ethnic group is largely associated with and thought of as the doyens of these symbols.
Historic narration of the genesis of these unique symbols has it that, Nana Kofi Adinkra, the King of Gyama, a kingdom situated in the area which encompasses present day Ivory Coast, for unknown reasons replicated the “Asante Golden Stool” which is a highly revered symbol of the Akan unity, power and cohesion.
Symbols and the reverence
This was not taken lightly by the Asante’s who eventually waged war against Nana Adinkra and the Gyamas. Gyama was defeated in the ensuing battle and Nana Kofi Adinkra captured and taken to Kumasi, the capital of the Asantes and Gyama made an annex of the Asante Kingdom. It is said that on their way to Kumasi, Nana Kofi wore a patterned dress full of symbols, which was thought to express his sorrow, as was the practice of the people of Gyama in days.
Centuries on, the Asantes and virtually all the Akan tribes have learnt the practice of printing the symbols of the Gyama people on cloths. A clear indication of cultural diffusion.
Today, cloths with branded these symbols are worn at social gatherings. Some corporate institutions even use these symbols as their logo.
When it inspires, I call it art for humans; Sal Pawuni is one such song. One 9ra, the Boss Family singer is here again with something best described as awe-inspiring. This masterpiece of a song can only be attributed to amazing acts.
Despite the fact that One 9ra has lived in Tamale for years, I never really thought he had such command over Dagbanli. The sultry singer veered from his usual lovey-dovey songs to caution the youth.
About Sal Pawuni
Stating the obvious fact that man isn’t God; he reveals the wicked nature of evil friends who feign love but in actual fact seek your downfall. Relating such people to money, he states that “If man was money, he doubts if one could spend”.
The rhythmic song beautifully lets out the message, of tactfully living with man, and allowing God to truly be your source of wisdom and direction.
One 9ra aka “Son of the North, Son of Africa” is enjoying the ride to stardom with ease. His concentration on what I call good and quality music is preparing him for a peerless stand when he eventually earns his place.
Sal’ Pawuni is a beautiful Dagbanli song for every minute of your life.
Conquering SUSBSTANCE ABUSE – The Story of Mr. Kasise Ricky Peprah
Substance Abuse is intricate, however, I am duty bound to be here, for there is none other I know who can give a first-hand, intimate and personal account of alcoholism, drug abuse and irresponsible youth life.
Most of my fellow sufferers are either too involved with our disease, to be invited or, if even invited, to bother to accept your invitation. The rest are dead. Those in-betweens are too weakened to offer anything useful on this occasion. Since my breed is rare, survivors I mean, I crave your indulgence to spare a few minutes for my account of my personal knowledge of these all- too-real tragic phenomena that are laying to waste too many brilliant and talented people.
The Struggle to understand and define Substance Abuse
In my experience, I find that dictionaries almost never offer the definitions you need when you need them. Last night was no exception as I tried to no avail to find the definitions of “alcoholism”, of “drug abuse” or of “irresponsible youth life”. I have therefore elected to provide working definitions for the three phenomena.
For our purpose today, I dare to define “alcoholism” as “the continuous excessive use of and consequent dependence on alcohol, to the extent that it alters behaviour, warps reality and endangers one’s life and/or that of others”. “Drug abuse, I plead to define as “the continuous and persistent misuse and use of medication and drugs, prescription and illicit, to induce temporary euphoric effects (a high), which use subsequently has to be maintained or increased, over time, in order to attain said hallucinatory effects”.
Finally, let us agree to define “irresponsible youth life” as “any behaviour that is inconsistent with social mores and expectation”. Ladies and gentlemen, if no one is begrudging my operational definitions shall I then quickly move on to attempt to discuss their causes. Like many phenomena, the causes are many, diverse and varied.
Abusing Alcohol – Substance Abuse in a Bottle
“Alcoholism may be caused by peer pressure, acquiesced-to by apparent social acceptability or indifference and may be ignited by a misguided but widely held belief that it provides relief albeit temporary from nagging problems. There is also no accounting for the role of pure and naked puerile and youthful adventurism, normally starting with casual and occasional drinking euphemized as ‘social drinking’ and finally leading into full-fledged alcoholism. Same can be said of drug abuse. It starts as just a try, then another and soon turns into a craving and finally dependence, maybe not in that order.
Irresponsible youth life can be caused by any of the aforementioned or by pure truancy or delinquency. It may also emanate from maladjustment, personality disorder or simple rebellion. However, let it be said that some people are misfits, maybe even genetically programmed miscreants, plain and simple.
I am just a layman not an Authority on Substance Abuse – Mr. Kasise
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to state categorically that I have received NO formal education in these matters. I am neither a psychiatrist nor clinical psychologist. I am not a sociologist and definitely not an anthropologist. I am simply a recovering alcoholic, literate enough and sufficiently desperate to read the available literature. Since I am also lucky to still have a fair amount of my brain intact and recovering, I have, on occasion, consciously and otherwise engaged in analytical thought of these issues. Personally, I have been guilty, not of one or two but of all three of the cankers that we are attempting to understand today.
Ladies and gentlemen, the effects of these three maladies are plenty and varied BUT all unanimously negative. Their effect, negative of course, go from threats to your profession and professionalism, impediments to your smooth study, trouble in family life and marriage and finally causes extensive ill health.
Be warned that when one of the three makes an entry into your life, progress walks out of your life. One comes in and your sanity is threatened, One comes in and your studies, job or profession is in jeopardy. Their beginning in your life is the end of everything good in it. What then is the way forward? I have said on other occasions and repeat here today that the best way to prevent alcoholism, drug abuse and the resultant irresponsible youth life is NOT to even start trying out with these substances.
DO NOT BEGIN IF YOU HAVEN’T YET.
STOP IF YOU HAVE BEGUN.
And SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IF YOU CAN NOT STOP.
I want to end with the words of LEO BUSCAGLIA; ’your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God’ THANK YOU.
An end to Substance Abuse is the start of a new journey towards growth.
To her teaming listener’s, she is Ewurama Attoh, the sweet-voiced queen of the airwaves in Tamale. To her friends, she is Queenzy, the backup singer. To her family, she is Agnes, the purposeful daughter whose pursuits are borne of passion, and is boundless. To Ghana, she is the People’s Celebrity Awards Most Popular Female Radio Presenter 2017. She is Agnes Alexis Attoh, the young lady making giant strides by way of impact and relevance in a fast-evolving radio industry.
Growing up, young Ewurama Attoh had ambitions and interests like every child. The desire to become a lawyer competed with her addiction to news on CNN & GTV. Often emulating the reading styles of some of her favourite news anchors, she was nicknamed Barbara Sam by her dad.
Though a Fante, she’s spent most of her life in the Northern Region where she had most of her education. Starting at Queen Elizabeth Nursery in Tamale, she continued to St. Joseph Primary School, and later Bethel Methodist School, also in Tamale. She then proceeded to the Bolgatanga Girls Senior High School, located in the capital of the Upper East Region.
Educational Background of Ewurama Attoh
She eventually went back to school in pursuit of an HND in Marketing at the Tamale Business College between 2012 & 2014. Ewurama Attoh, despite her tight schedule on radio as a marketing manager and host of two shows on Kesmi Fm in Tamale, she makes time to study Marketing & Journalism through the ICM-UK program.
The journey to becoming an on-air personality wasn’t structured; despite her jolly-nature, she assumed her confidence wasn’t good enough to face the public with her voice. A radio career was a no no. However, her opinionated nature got her contributing to radio programs via text and phone calls.
How Ewurama entered Radio
29th March 2013 marked the beginning of a boisterous, yet in-depth analysis of showbiz related matters, impact-filled discussions and a refreshing newscaster-voice. Ewurama had the rare opportunity of being a panellist in a radio discussion; a good friend, Seth Sowah who apparently perceived her worth was behind the invitation.
Awards & Achievements
Despite the fact that Ewurama has been in radio for just a little over 4 years; the young achiever has already earned some recognition by way of awards. So far, she’s won the following.
Foklex Media Award (2015-2016) – Best Newscaster for Northern Region
Dagbon Radio Awards (2015- 2016) – Brunch Host of the year
Lifestyle Program of the year
Foklex Media Awards (2016 -2017) – Family Life Host of the year
People’s Celebrity Awards (2017) – Female Radio Presenter of the Year
The Talents of Ewurama Attoh
Ewurama trained as a Photo Editor/ Graphic Designer, but the yearn to use her voice creatively pushed her into taking up radio as a full-time job. Born to a family of creatives, Ewurama’s desire to make a mark in the creative industry continues to stir her endeavours; thus, she intends to expand her relevance by venturing into TV.
Even though she rarely talks about her singing prowess, Ewurama is actually a fine singer. She admits to a struggling entertainment industry in the Northern Region but is quick to name some of her favourite musicians as Kawastone, Dobble Tee, Fancy Gadam & Maccasio. When www.atigsi.com asked her about what she thinks account for the struggling nature of the showbiz industry in the Northern Region, she blamed it on those steering the affairs of the industry with little to no knowledge about the industry. She however remains positive that at the current rate and state, there is a bright future for the industry.
She is also a gym and fitness enthusiast.
Her desires& Wishes
As an enigma within radio circles in Tamale, Ewurama wishes to see more ladies venture into the industry. Per her analysis, she believes Josephine of Diamond FM and herself, are the only female radio personalities pushing beyond the stereotypical roles assigned women.
For her, the main challenge in being a broadcaster in the Northern Region is the inability to access sponsorship for impact-filled broadcasting. A situation that affects the production of relevant and “edutaining” content for the benefit of the people.
There’s a perception that Tamale is hostile to people who are not indigenes, interestingly Ewurama gives better insight into what is misconstrued as hostility.
“I wouldn’t say it is hostile…. Tamale is a special place and what do u do with a special thing…. you study it, know what the people want, give what they want…. make them happy and you are loved. it is not easy but learning the love language of the people and u are ok.”
There’s obviously something special about Ewurama, she puts in this way.
“Mmm…. well first off, the fact that am a woman and a loudmouth lol…. my voice and laughter and oh the fact that my delivery is different…”
Her success, she attributes to the all-out support from her family and Seth Klipss (Seth Sowah) who saw in her, what she refused to pay attention to. Her personal shrink Bertrand Nana Kwame Turkson remains an invaluable asset to her career. In her own words.
“he’s always been the one I run to when I want to give up… he will listen, laugh 😄 then insult u and push u back in lol…. he’s always been my pillar.” She counts herself lucky because she’s built a good professional relationship with most industry players who in turn are very supportive.
Her biggest recognition thus far, has been winning the nation-wide award for Favourite Female Radio Presenter, at the People’s Celebrity Awards organized by GN-Bank.
Ewurama Attoh was born on 30th May. She has 3 siblings. She currently doubles as the Marketing Manager and on-air personality with Diamond FM 93.7 in the Northern Regional Capital, Tamale.
He has a unique style, he’s a daring young man almost always ready to for a battle in rap. He’s penchant for jabs remain peerless. He’s probably the only artiste who can turn a love song to a one that taunts another.
Probably drawing inspiration from his own nickname the Rap King Kong, he continues the journey to the top with battle rap. What is rap is not just another rap song from Shaban; It’s got a groovy vibe, the kind that gets hip-hop heads nodding like lizards in pants.
Though he is yet to occupy his place in “rapdom” in Ghana, we can’t take away his prowess and potential. His unique flow is something that Ghana is yet to truly experience. And in my opinion ‘What is rap’ should be seen as the intro to the world of the Rap King Kong.
In Part 1 of Love in word or love in deed, I took you through an encounter with a woman that got me wondering wild. Here is Love in word or love in deed 2.

Love in word or love in deed 2 – Escaping temptation
Our conversation got deeper and deeper until it eventually turned intimate, and she started recounting to me her previous relationships. The sweeter the conversation got, the darker the day got. It was getting late, and the “independent” lady was panicking, trying to cook up an explanation for her mom so that she wouldn’t lock the gate. Worst of all, we were in somebody’s office whose closing time had passed.
I couldn’t afford to miss the most interesting part of the conversation. Missing it would have been like enjoying all the foreplay and at the point of penetration somebody bumps on you or working your way all through only to be distracted at the point of orgasm. I wasn’t just prepared for such a feeling at all, so the religious guy in me started to pray silently while the naughty part of me had my eyes fixed deep into hers. I could literarily see my whole face in her pupils–the level of concentration was exponentially high.
Just before I could say “amen” to end my silent prayer, the owner of the printing press yanked open the door and called out my name simultaneously.
Love in word or love in deed 2
Love in word or love in deed 2 – The Disruption
“Damn it!!! It is finished,” I bemoaned in my head while forcing a smile to accompany the response. The result was a funny look on my face like the confused emoticon on WhatsApp and a very scratchy response.
“I dey go meet my paddy come so make you guys watch de place give me…….I dey go come …..”, he added.
As impatient as I was, I wouldn’t even let him finish before I already burst out a consenting response, “no p…we dey…we go dey…no worries”.
By this time I had heaved a sigh of relief, which got me repeating my response unnecessarily. She gave me a fairly gentle push on my forehead as a form of resentment and started complaining about the tendency of being locked outside.
How I managed to get her to stay and continue the conversation is however history.
Love in word or love in deed
The needless conversation – Love in word or love in deed 2
Fast forward, we were back to our hearty chitchat, and she was obliged to continue from where she left off. She is one person who wouldn’t entertain any form of distraction when talking. She would suggestively demand an undivided attention.
Her latest relationship was the one with Kobby (real name withheld). Kobby, she said was a gentle sweet soul, a darling and a very good guy (as they put it in typical Ghanaian parlance). She had met Kobby way back and they have since been hanging out as friends for quite a long time but nothing official seemed to have happened (at least that was what she said, you and I were not there).
Anytime they went out for a public gathering and her chatty personality got her interacting with the opposite sex Kobby always demonstrated traits of jealousy. She said Kobby always introduced her as his girlfriend to his friends, workmates and family. She explained how romantic their playfulness will turn anytime she visited Kobby at home and how happy she always was in the company of Kobby.
Apparently, she was the only girl who could get close to Kobby because he was a very reserved person who hardly associated with peers, not even his own squad mates (clique). She confessed Kobby had everything that she ever desired in a man. He was the exact definition of her ideal man, but she seemed to have a problem with Kobby.
At this point I was stunned. I could neither breathe in nor breath out. My blood circulation too came to a standstill. I couldn’t feel my legs anymore. They were numb.
I started blinking my eyes at a pace and irregular interval to help gain consciousness. All this while she had paused and was trying to send her mum a text.
Everything in the atmosphere sublimed into suspense.
The only noise that could be heard was the oscillating ceiling fan, the tick-tock of the wall clock, and our own breath. She eventually took a deep breath, cleared her throat, stole a flirty glance at me and tore the silence in the atmosphere:
“Denis, ………….. I felt Kobby was merely wasting my time and warding off my suitors. All that while Kobby had not been “man enough” to propose love to me, even though from his actions I knew he loved me”. “How could a guy be so mean”?, she emotionally quizzed.
“Mean, you say? I interjected sharply with an interrogative exclamation. She held her breath, at the same time thinking of an explanation. When she burst out her response, she missed her first word, the second and the third. No identifiable word was uttered. All that was heard was errrm….errrm….errm…She realized she didn’t make sense and had to explain better so she handcuffed me, pulled me closer to her and looked deep into my eyes hoping that I could see her pain.
Love wins, however, is it love in word or love in deed?
For a moment she agreed actions speak louder than words so she would rather explain in actions than in words. Unfortunately, I was too occupied with her presence than to see or feel her pain. I could only see a teasingly tempting gorgeous figure who was rather too idealistic for this century and that in itself was pain enough. In that compromising position, only one thing was most likely, and man had to be strong so I ………………to be continued.
He is great, but at the same time weak and miserable with insatiable desires. Man is the greatest being in the universe, yet he is so fragile that a little thing such as a bullet, for instance can annihilate him. He is wretched but he is great even in his wretchedness because he knows his wretchedness. The fact that he is aware of his wretchedness shows that he knows what he ought to be more than he actually is.
He knows that he is not really his true self that he used to be more than he is at present. In other words, he is conscious of his fallen state. It is only a deposed king that feels happy about his state of not being a king. If he had never been a king at all he will not feel unhappy about he not being a king.
He is a deposed king, a fallen creature, longing to be restored to his former dignity. In a similar way, Jean Paul Sartre describes man as a being who is not what he is and who is what he is not, a being who carries a vacuum, an emptiness within him at the heart of his being.
Nothing can satisfy him as long as he carries that vacuum inside him at the heart of his being. No amount of money, no amount of wealth, wine or women can satisfy man’s deepest yearning because nothing can fill that vacuum inside him. This means that all his endeavours in life to acquire wealth are futile. Expressing similar ideas about man’s dissatisfaction and restlessness, Augustine says to God: You have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.

Man’s unsatisfied nature
Augustine, who in his youth lived a carefree life, later learnt from experience that nothing could satisfy the deepest yearning of the human heart.
In his Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus illustrates in a dramatic way the futility of human endeavours and the absurdity of human existence. He compares human existence to the life of Sisyphus who spent all his life rolling a heavy stone up a hill. He would start early in the morning rolling the stone up the hill and spend the whole day rolling it, exerting all his energy and perspiring profusely all over his body.
When at last he succeeded in rolling it to the top of the hill, the stone will roll down the hill, and Sisyphus would come down and start all over rolling the stone up the hill again, exerting all his energy as before. And when again he succeeded in reaching the top of the hill with the stone, it would again roll down the hill.
Sisyphus kept doing this every day of his life until he died. He worked very hard, but what did he achieve in the end? What was the meaning of what he spent his whole life doing? What was the purpose? It had no meaning, no purpose. It was totally absurd exercise. He lived a meaningless life.
Is human life on earth less absurd than the life of Sisyphus?
The human person is the most Marvelous and most complex being in the universe. The marvels of the human person by far surpass those of the physical universe. The brevity of human life, the vicissitudes of life, man’s power and weakness, his dignity and misery, his joys and sorrows, his finitude, his experience of suffering, sickness, disease, death and decay, his anxieties, fears and worries, are all starting points for reflection and deep thinking.
Buddha’s philosophy for instance arose from his reflection on human suffering- old age, disease, death and decay. Reflection on these phenomena of human life gives rise to some fundamental questions about the nature, purpose and meaning of human life on this earth.
The Marvelous Human and the questions
What is man? He is so strong, yet so fragile, so powerful, yet so weak, so great, yet so miserable. He is so curious to know, and knows so much about the physical universe, yet he is so ignorant about himself. He is in fact a problem a problem to himself, a mystery beyond his comprehension. He cannot answer his own questions about himself. From time immemorial, man has been preoccupied with questions about his origin, nature and destiny.
What am I? Why do I live? What is the meaning of my life? What, in the final analysis, is the ultimate value of my life? Where do I go from here? Am I heading for nothingness? There are of course many people who do not bother asking themselves such questions about the meaning and purpose of their lives.
The Life of the Marvelous Human
They just go on from day to day living unexamined lives. They work, eat, drink, struggle for money and wealth, marry and beget children among other desires. They just want to be like ‘others’ and they are submerged in their daily routine, without ever asking themselves what it all means in the final analysis. Man is a being who does not understand himself; and puts his own very being into question.
Man has natural desire for continued existence, his strongest instinct is that of self-preservation and self-perpetuation in existence. Yet his life span is brief and is often terminated contrary to his deepest desire. All his efforts to resist the imposed termination of his life are futile- off he goes whether he likes it or not.
He is forced out of this world without even knowing where he is going. He did not choose to come to this world. He simply finds himself in this world without knowing why and sooner or later he will be forced out of it.
What then is the ultimate meaning of a Marvelous Human’s existence?
What is the ultimate value of man’s life? What is he living for? Has his life any ultimate meaning? We all know that we eat to live, but what do we live to do? Why do we live?
Albert Camus, a renowned French philosopher tells us that there is only one truly serious philosophical question, and that is, is human life meaningful or meaningless? This is also the most serious problem about human life? Albert Camus is quite right. Many people do commit suicide because they find life meaningless. They feel that a meaningless life is not worth living. They therefore terminate it.
Who is man and the Marvelous Human?
Man is great, but at the same time weak and miserable with insatiable desires. Man is the greatest being in the universe, yet he is so fragile that a little thing such as a bullet, for instance can annihilate him. He is wretched but he is great even in his wretchedness because he knows his wretchedness.
The fact that he is aware of his wretchedness shows that he knows what he ought to be more than he actually is.

Albert Camus and the Marvelous human
In his Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus illustrates in a dramatic way the futility of human endeavours and the absurdity of human existence. He compares human existence to the life of Sisyphus who spent all his life rolling a heavy stone up a hill.
He would start early in the morning rolling the stone up the hill and spend the whole day rolling it, exerting all his energy and perspiring profusely all over his body.

We wake up in the morning, brush our teeth, take our bath, take our breakfast, dress up and go out struggling for one thing or another- money, food, wealth etc. We struggle the whole day and come back home in the evening to sleep.
The following morning, we wake up to go through the routine again, brush our teeth, take our bath, take our breakfast, dress up and we are out again, struggling till evening. This goes on till we die and it is all over. What have we achieved in the end? What in the final analysis are we going to do with all the money, all the wealth we spend our life struggling to acquire? We shall leave them behind when we die and go to the grave?
The Problem of Evil in the Marvelous human
The most disturbing problem that makes human life appear meaningless is the problem of evil. This is the problem that has plagued human life from its very beginning and has disturbed the human mind from time immemorial.
It has become an insoluble problem, a puzzle and in fact, a mystery to the human mind. It is natural evil for instance that leads one to ask whether human life has any meaning at all, or any purpose.
A visit for example to a home for mentally retarded children or physically handicapped children, disabled people, paralytics, terminally sick people in great pain, or a mortuary, prompts one to ask whether human life has any meaning at all. This was what led Job to curse the day he was born. He wished he had died as soon as he was born.
The absurdity of human existence and the futility of all human struggles dawns on one also at funerals or interment. As the coffin is lowered into the grave it dawns on one that it is all over for the deceased, that this is the final end of all his struggles, all his endeavours, all his wealth, and that the very same fate awaits us all.
Death of the Marvelous Human
Death is the worst evil that happens to man, an evil that makes human life appear purposeless and meaningless. Sartre concludes that ‘If we have to die, then our life has no meaning’ the strongest instinct in both in both men and animals is the instinct of self-preservation or self-perpetuation. It is the instinct to avoid death, the instinct to continue living. Yet death is the surest thing that will happen to us.
If there is only one thing that is unmistakably certain, which no skeptic has ever doubted or can ever doubt, is that death is inevitable. It is certain that we shall all die because we were all condemned to death even before we were born. ‘As soon as a man is born,’ says Heidegger, ‘he is old enough to die’.
Some people are not even born before they die, they die in the womb before they are born. Some die just as they as born, some die a few minutes after they are born, some a few hours, others a few days, some are few months, others a few years. Some live to ripe old age. Death can come and does come at any time in a person’s life, at any age, from ante-natal state, to infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood to old age.
The Marvelous Human is the final part of our series on the Human Predicament. Check the previous articles below.
