Two Overlords of Dagbon Final Funeral Rites Hinted By Government

By -
Government has hinted the final funeral rites of the late two overlords of Dagbon will be performed in November this year. The Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna told Citi News in an interview. According him, all is set for the upcoming traditional events in Yendi, traditional capital of Dagbon. He said the Asantehene-led committe of three eminent chiefs, mediating the Dagbon chieftaincy crisis, gave government the green light to implement the roadmap.
Citi News checks in Yendi have also revealed that the construction of some adjoining houses to the old Gbewaa Palace is 90% complete. The Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna also revealed the funeral rites will be performed at the old Gbewaa Palace. “We believe that we can never get to the bottom of this matter if the funerals are not performed.” He commended the two families for their tolerance and maximum cooperation. “The two families are really cooperating with us and as we speak now they have requested that certain things must be put in place before the funerals can be performed: if you go to Yendi you will realize we are building some palaces and this was the request from the two families and as we speak they are almost finishing.” Alhaji Limuna reiterated government’s commitment to permanently resolve the age long impasse between the Abudu and Andani Royals in Dagbon. “When we finish that, the next thing is to request for each family’s time table and we will start with the Abudu family: they will give us their time table as to how they want to perform the funeral and government is committed to still support them in whatever way so that they can perform the funeral of the late Yaa-Naa Mahamadu.” “When they finish that I believe the custodians will now decide where to place their Regent and that one they have taken it in good faith and they are all cooperating for us to get there.” “After that we will move to the next point which is having the time table of the late Yaa-Naa Yakubu too so that his funeral will also be performed and same will be done to the Regent.” According to him, when these rites are performed, it will pave way for the selection of the Yaa- Naa, which will be left to the custodians because according to him, “… it is custom that declares a Yaa-Naa, is not an appointment neither a nomination.” – By: Abdul Karim Naatogmah

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
