2 years ago



Exactly when the Slave Trade was prospering in the North around 150 quite a while ago, Na Arabia, the Nayiri of Mamprusi who lived in Nalerigu as his capital, sent his youngster Prince Ali to design a post at Bawku and screen the transportation path among Nalerigu and Gambaga in the south and Tenkudugu and Wagadugu in the north.

This was a direct result of the Kusasi who lived in that space moulding groups of cheats and criminals, waylaying and stealing from Mamprusi sellers branching out northward with their things and getting back southward with their slaves.

 

When appeared differently from the Mamprusis, the Kusasis were backward and unrefined.

The faction was not proficient, with sensible supervisors meriting profound respect and respectability among the tribesmen.

They beyond a shadow of a doubt had faction supervisors and fixation clergymen who rehearsed the positions of managers.

The Bawku skin came directly under the Nayiri of Mamprusi from the second Prince Ali raised what may be seen as a police post at Bawku and has remained there straight up until right now.

From there on out, all Bawku-Naba's (supervisors) have been sovereigns plunged from the leaders of Nalerigu.

 

Mizabaga, Mampaga, Mahamudu, and Mahama came after Ali (additionally called Seteen).

Bako was won by Mamboda, Mahama II, Zongbeogo, Abuguri, and Awuni in a particular request.

Six Mamprusi Princes from Bawku tried the skin after the death of Na Awuni the Bawku-Naba.

 

They all went to the Nayiri in Nalerigu to be chosen as the Bawku-Naba, yet only one was compelling.

Jeremiah is an old individual who is half-outwardly debilitated.

His course of action happened on June 6, 1957, at Nalerigu, notwithstanding significant impediments from various rulers.

At Nalerigu, the obstruction continued, as a couple of these sovereigns mentioned the Minister of Local Government against the course of action of the disdained Prince Yiremia.

 

Meanwhile, in the North, everything arrived at a significant stage the next morning at Bawku.

The Kusasis had accumulated in full power at Bawku from the areas of Agolle and Toende and had picked Abugurago Azoka as Bawku-Naba and Kusasis Head.

 

Concerning the issue, the public authority got an enormous number of petitions and passages.

A certifiable circumstance had been made, which could quickly develop into a genealogical struggle.

Attempting to close without doing comprehensive solicitations would have achieved exceptionally tremendous repercussions.

Along these lines, His Excellency the Acting Governor-General spread out this Committee to research and report its choices.

 

Nantoama, an unprecedented specialist from the Nayiri who came to address the Nayiri, was the fundamental eyewitness who moved toward the opposer's side.

His announcement is particularly persuading since it portrays the conventional procedure for choosing and presenting a Bawku-Naba at Nalerigu.

He was an inconceivable eyewitness, and the Committee was interested in his expressiveness and truthfulness.

His data, in any case, depicts a comparative relationship between master and labourer, strength and insufficiency that the set of experiences experts communicated existed between the Mamprusis and the Kusasis.

 

He communicated that since God made heaven and earth, no Kusasi man has had the pleasure of being named chief, nor has the Kusasi man had the right of picking their supervisor other than by the course of action from Nalerigu by the Nayiri, along these lines the Kusasis ought not to be permitted that lavishness today.

The Nangodi-Naba, Harold Amori Azuri, came straight away.

He is a Frafra pioneer who regulates over his Frafra people.

He is a cultivated supervisor who has served on one arrangement to England.

In the wake of declaring that the selection of supervisors in the Kusasi and Frafra districts is essentially the commitment of the Nayiri in Mamprussi, he uncovered that he is a Frafra head driving the Frafra public and that the Nayiri would never dole out someone outside the Frafra entrances to lead the Frafra public.

He communicated that it relied upon the Kusasis to choose if they would pick their supervisors or recognize Mamprusi men allocated by the Nayiri to lead them.

Various eyewitnesses, including two people from Parliament, certified the inverse.

Mumuni Bawumia, M.P., was the fundamental Member of Parliament.

He was a dumbfounding eyewitness who gave an unmistakable explanation of the Nayiri's conventional methodology for designating Mamprusi State divisional heads.

He communicated that Divisional Chiefs are never picked, but rather named by the Nayiri, who controls the land in Kusasi.

He said that the title "Tindana" signifies "gatekeeper" rather than "owner" of the property.

He declared that the Nayiri own the space from the Dagomba district in the south to the French zone in the north, as well as from the French limit in the east to the River Nasia in the west.

He has no confidence in the situation that the Kusasis are compelled to chip away at Mamprusis farms.

 

According to Abugurago and Yiremia's verification, the Mamprusis have not been heads of Bawku since the times gone past.

Their standard began with the undertaking of Ali, the offspring of Na Tampouri of Nalerigu, to safeguard the transportation path between the Mamprusi and Moshi nations.

 

The request subsequently becomes whether Kusasi pioneers were controlling their kinfolk when Ali appeared in Kusasi.

That is the very thing that the Committee trusts, however unrefined and unenterprising the Kusasis were in those days, they had pioneers who rehearsed administrative and legitimate commitments over their kinfolk.

It should be remembered that even the crudest creatures have spearheaded.

Expecting the record to be acknowledged, the Kusasis consequently organized themselves into gatherings of criminals and aggravated slave vendors going out to and from the North, it is furthermore recognized that these thieves and fugitives had specialists.

 

Exactly when Ali and subsequently the White rulers appeared in Kusasi, the general population was not satisfactorily organized to fight the peaceful assault and along these lines submitted to the Mamprusi's standard under the Whiteman's overall power.

 

There is no record of Mamprusi's triumph, notwithstanding, it is perceived that in 1895, the Kusasis in the Kugri division beat Na Beriga's military and caused inconceivable misfortunes for the Mamprusis.

Since the Whiteman's underlying presence in Gambaga, additional dangers and possibly Mamprusis kickback was incomprehensible.

 

The Committee acknowledges that the presence of Mamprusi Chiefs on Kusasi soil has been anguishing.

"Were it not for the way that the Mamprusi Chiefs had been compelled upon them by the Na Tampouri, whom the Kusasis regarded with a particular proportion of adoration, it is unrealistic that they would have recognized them using any means," said J.K.G Syme in his book The History of the Kusasi.

 

The Committee recognizes the Kusasi presentation that Mamprusi Chiefs were continued on them by the Whiteman and that the Nayiri took the chieftaincy with the Whiteman's assistance.

A section in Syme's History of the Kusasis maintains this.

"It has been recommended that for a long time, these Tindana (landowners and ministers) would have formed into certifiable trailblazers."

They never got the potential chance to do it in their sluggish manner, nevertheless, the British out of nowhere appeared in Gambaga and a short time later in Kusasi, mentioning the Chiefs.

They'd tracked down them in Gambaga and expected to find them in Kusasi, be that as it may, they weren't there."

Taking everything into account, this witness was sound and battled for the Mamprusi Rulers' course of action.

As the State Secretary of Mamprusi, he would have liked to know a ton about the state's internal issues and fulfilled the Committee with his watchful decision-making ability.

 

Mr Awuni Jambedo, the second Member of Parliament, was the top of the Princes of Bawku who acquainted an allure with the Government testing Yiremia's determination as Bawku-Naba.

In the wake of seeing that the matter had become one between the Kusasis and the Mamprusis, he and a couple of the solicitation's signatories appear to have changed their minds and proposed to confirm for Mamprusi Chief Yiremia.

He undermined all that he had as of late communicated against the course of action, ensuring that he created the allure in an assault of franticness when his incline toward a rival, the Sagabu-Naba, failed.

 

The Committee people give off an impression of being uninterested in the announcement of this specific eyewitness.

He seemed to play the different sides of the conflict.

 

By summarizing the confirmation presented by Yiremia and his partners, we could acquire an unquestionable picture of their conflict, which is according to the accompanying:

 

1. Na Ali moulded the Bawku Skin close to 150 quite a while ago when he was named by his father, Na Tampouri, to safeguard the transportation path northward.

2. That, from that time, movement to the Bawku Skin has been by the course of action just with the Nayiri of Nalerigu.

 

3. That such courses of action have essentially been made to Mamprusi Princes in Bawku.

 

4. The Mamprusis are the Kusasis' Superior Masters.

 

5. That the Kusasis are unsatisfactory to be trailblazers, or that they were expected to remain continuously obliging to the Mamprusis.

 

6. That the land they harp on has a spot with the Nayiri, who could do anything he wants with it, including eliminating the Kusasis, who are simply gatekeepers.

 

7. That the Kusasis, who are unequipped for dealing with their issues, should not be allowed to pick their bosses.

8. Abugurago isn't a Mamprusi Prince and thusly doesn't hold the choice to the Bawku Skin.
