THE SUPPOSED ''WITCHES'' CAMPS IN GHANA




witch camp is a settlement where women suspected of being witches can flee for safety, usually in order to avoid being lynched by neighbours. Witch camps exist solely in Ghana, where there are at least six of them, housing a total of around 1000 women. Such camps can be found at Bonyasi, Gambaga, Gnani, Kpatinga, Kukuo and Naabuli, all in Northern Ghana. Some of the camps are thought to have been set up over 100 years ago.
Many women in such camps are widows and it is thought that relatives accused them of witchcraft in order to take control of their husbands' possessions. Many women also are mentally ill, a little understood problem in Ghana. In one camp in Gambaga, the women are given protection by the local chieftain and in return, pay him and work in his fields.
The Ghanaian government has announced that it intends to close the camps and educate the population regarding the fact that witches do not exist. In 2014 the Minister for Gender and Social Protection took initiatives to disband and re-integrate inmates of the Bonyasi witch camp located in Central Gonja District.
The Dagomba, Konkomba, and Mampurugu tribes have an especially strong belief in witchcraft. The Anti-Witchcraft Allegations Campaign Coalition-Ghana (AWACC-Ghana) has reported that the number of outcasts in witch camps is growing, and that food supplies are insufficient.
The mega question therefore is ''are these women really witches and even if they are, is this the best mode of treatment to be meted out to these poor mothers, wives and grandmothers''??? GOD HELP US ALL



SARKODIE, DUMELO WOULD DIE IN THREE WEEKS TIME-PROPHET EMMANUEL


A Kumasi-based Prophet has warned Hiplife musician, Sarkodie and Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo to repent from their ‘evil ways’ or risk losing their lives in the next few weeks.

Prophet Emmanuel Gyamfi said on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall Programme on Saturday that the fastest rapper and the internationally acclaimed actor are targets of several misfortunes for rebelling against God and winning souls for the devil.

“God made me see that he, Sarkodie has rebelled against Him (God) and have been winning souls for the other part, that is the devil and this would happen live for all to see that the man of God said it…,” he said.

According to the Prophet of Emmanuel Power House Chapel, the duo has three weeks to repent from their evil ways as a means of mitigating the punishments meant for them.

The man of God said further that God revealed the impending misfortunes to him in a vision one Sunday morning when he meditated on the word of God after his devotion.

“In the vision, I saw the hand of God appear from the skies and struck Sarkodie unto the ground…I was the one who helped him to his feet…” he narrated.

Prophet Emmanuel continued that God later told him that He struck Sarkodie unto the ground because he (Sarkodie) in recent times has been using his popularity to win more souls for the devil instead of using the talent to praise him.

“God through his abundant mercies gave him three weeks to repent from winning souls for the devil or he will die…,” he said.

The Kumasi-based Prophet further said that even if Sarkodie repents from his evil deeds, he would still suffer some misfortune as ‘it is never an easier thing for the hand of God to strike you down.’

“Even if he recovers, there would be great changes in his body…,” the man of God explained further.

On the celebrated actor, the Prophet Emmanuel said he has also been treading similar paths like Sarkodie and his punishment would include a serious motor accident and imprisonment.

“John Dumelo would be involved in an issue which would lead to the prisons…not even all his wealth and power would save him from this case…,” he said.

Dumelo, he said, would never return from prison custody as he would die there.

The man of God who also claimed that John Dumelo had also been winning souls for the devil said he would be involved in a tragic accident.

The man of God said he was not seeking popularity through the prophecy as he was already an ‘international prophet’ and has been prophesying about several events including the Castro issue.

To reverse the curses placed on the two entertainment personalities, Prophet Emmanuel called on the two entertainment guys in Ghana, to approach him at his base in Kumasi for deliverance.

“They should come to Kumasi to meet me since I saw the vision and can best work to clear it,” he said.

On Castro and Janet Bandu, the International Prophet said their families are to blame as they did not approach him initially to search for them.

“His family was stubborn if they had approached me earlier, Castro would be out by now, but they consulted Malams and other spiritualists first…they came for my number and has since not returned,” he said.

ANTI-GAYISM AND LESBIANISM

"When was the last time you saw two he-goats attempting to have sex? Even in the animal kingdom, two males don't have sex", he told a cheering Christian crowd as they marked Ghana's Republic Day holiday with prayers."

General Overseer of the Charismatic Evangelistic Ministries, Reverend Steve Mensah has charged the country to take a stance against homosexuality."

Ok Reverend Steve Mensah, when was the last time you saw two males or two females attempting to have sex? The fact that you have not seen it does not mean it doesn't exist. Yes, in the animal Kingdom, two males do have sex. Don't get me wrong, I am against homosexuality like majority of Ghanaians it is the misinformation and the foaming of the mouth hatred against homosexuals that I am against. You can hate the practice of homosexuality without hating homosexuals.

The vast majority of Ghanaians abhors homosexuality and rightly so since the practice of it seems unnatural and I do agree with majority of Ghanaians. What I don't like about this homosexuality debate is the misinformation that even well educated Ghanaians due to their disgust about this practice seems to disseminate to Ghanaians. It is not true that Animals don't practice homosexuality because they do.

Anyway, does it make any difference if animals practice homosexuality or not? Are the people who use this animals don't practice homosexuality saying that it will be alright for human beings to practice homosexuality if animals do?

Below is an article and research done by scientists that shows more than 1,500 animal species practice homosexuality.



1,500 Animal Species Practice Homosexuality

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Peter Ellerton 


Not natural? Think again... 



Homosexuality is quite common in the animal kingdom, especially among herding animals. Many animals solve conflicts by practicing same gender sex.



From the middle of October until next summer the Norwegian Natural History Museum of the University of Oslo will host the first exhibition that focuses on homosexuality in the animal kingdom.

"One fundamental premise in social debates has been that homosexuality is unnatural. This premise is wrong. Homosexuality is both common and highly essential in the lives of a number of species," explains Petter Boeckman, who is the academic advisor for the "Against Nature's Order?" exhibition.

The most well-known homosexual animal is the dwarf chimpanzee, one of humanity's closes relatives. The entire species is bisexual. Sex plays an conspicuous role in all their activities and takes the focus away from violence, which is the most typical method of solving conflicts among primates and many other animals.

"Sex among dwarf chimpanzees is in fact the business of the whole family, and the cute little ones often lend a helping hand when they engage in oral sex with each other."

Lions are also homosexual. Male lions often band together with their brothers to lead the pride. To ensure loyalty, they strengthen the bonds by often having sex with each other.

Homosexuality is also quite common among dolphins and killer whales. The pairing of males and females is fleeting, while between males, a pair can stay together for years. Homosexual sex between different species is not unusual either. Meetings between different dolphin species can be quite violent, but the tension is often broken by a "sex orgy".

Homosexuality is a social phenomenon and is most widespread among animals with a complex herd life.

Among the apes it is the females that create the continuity within the group. The social network is maintained not only by sharing food and the child rearing, but also by having sex. Among many of the female apes the sex organs swell up. So they rub their abdomens against each other," explains Petter Bockman and points out that animals have sex because they have the desire to, just like we humans.

Homosexual behaviour has been observed in 1,500 animal species.

"We're talking about everything from mammals to crabs and worms. The actual number is of course much higher. Among some animals homosexual behaviour is rare, some having sex with the same gender only a part of their life, while other animals, such as the dwarf chimpanzee, homosexuality is practiced throughout their lives."

Animals that live a completely homosexual life can also be found. This occurs especially among birds that will pair with one partner for life, which is the case with geese and ducks. Four to five percent of the couples are homosexual. Single females will lay eggs in a homosexual pair's nest. It has been observced that the homosexual couple are often better at raising the young than heterosexual couples.

When you see a colony of black-headed gulls, you can be sure that almost every tenth pair is lesbian. The females have no problems with being impregnated, although, according to Petter Boeckman they cannot be defined as bisexual.

"If a female has sex with a male one time, but thousands of times with another female, is she bisexual or homosexual? This is the same way to have children is not unknown among homosexual people."

Indeed, there is a number of animals in which homosexual behaviour has never been observed, such as many insects, passerine birds and small mammals.


"To turn the approach on its head: No species has been found in which homosexual behaviour has not been shown to exist, with the exception of species that never have sex at all, such as sea urchins and aphis. Moreover, a part of the animal kingdom is hermaphroditic, truly bisexual. For them, homosexuality is not an issue."

Petter Bockman regrets that there is too little research about homosexuality among animals.

"The theme has long been taboo. The problem is that researchers have not seen for themselves that the phenomenon exists or they have been confused when observing homosexual behaviour or that they are fearful of being ridiculed by their colleagues. Many therefore overlook the abundance of material that is found. Many researchers have described homosexuality as something altogether different from sex. They must realise that animals can have sex with who they will, when they will and without consideration to a researcher's ethical principles."

One example of overlooking behaviour noted by Petter Bockman is a description of mating among giraffes, when nine out of ten pairings occur between males.

"Every male that sniffed a female was reported as sex, while anal intercourse with orgasm between males was only "revolving around" dominance, competition or greetings.

Masturbation is common in the animal kingdom.

"Masturbation is the simplest method of self pleasure. We have a Darwinist mentality that all animals only have sex to procreate. But there are plenty of animals who will masturbate when they have nothing better to do. Masturbation has been observed among primates, deer, killer whales and penguins, and we're talking about both males and females. They rub themselves against stones and roots. Orangutans are especially inventive. They make dildos of wood and bark," says Petter Boeckman of the Norwegian Natural History Museum.
