Erotic and Procreative functions: Throughout life, many women of West and Central Africa wore strands of beads around their waists to emphasize their figures and their procreative role. As one Fante fisherman once told me, “Obaa bɛsia ɔnhyɛ ahondze no nna ɔnyɛ ɔbaa sima bi a! Ɔsiandɛ odu mpa mu agor dzi a, yɛ dze hɛn ano rebɔ nsanku wɔ sor hɔ no nna yɛdze hen nsa so rebɔ gyɛtai wɔ sisiw hɔ ridzi ɔdɔ. Ɔma mpa mu agor yɛ dɛw!” (A woman who does not wear waist beads cannot call herself real woman. This is because in love-making, whilst our mouth play organs up, our hand also play on the waist beads as guitar. It makes love making awesome).

I know if I were home, I might have been invited for what I am going to say in this article; but as a royal of a village, I am ever ready to stand in front of my fathers, grandfathers, brothers and uncles to let them know that I shall do everything it takes to defend the dignity of Dagbong – and if it means taking punishment from them for calling their actions into questions as their own – and I have no doubt that the gods of Dagbong and our ancestors would be by me if everybody else does not. I want the chiefs to know that they have themselves to blame if young men of today do not respect them and the skins they occupy. Most of them have thrown the dignity of their skins away for whatever it is that I do not know. The very chiefs raised us in homes that abhorred thieves and crime of all kind – whether computer stealing or window breaking; stealing is stealing. We grew up with this mindset only to be disappointed by some of the very people who taught us that virtue. Today what do...
