Awkward Poem Written About Ewes Receives Heavy Backlash

Some Ghanaians have expressed their displeasure over a poem written about Ewes in a History textbook meant for Primary school pupils.

Many believe the poem did not give a perfect account of Ewes and was meant to degrade and damn the people predominantly found in the Volta Region of Ghana.

For some, they couldn’t understand how such a book could be allowed to pass through the appropriate authorities and be approved for study especially when the content is quite discriminatory. The book was written by the revered Badu Nkansah for use by Class Three pupils.

This comes on the back of a recent post by rapper Edem who condemned the gross discrimination exercised towards Ewes and why he believes it must stop. A personal assertion was supported by Bridget Otoo and several Ghanaians.

The NPP is a tribalistic, power drunk n elitist party! They want to rule GH like they did in d precolonial days n are trying hard to sideline the Ewes coz they know without their votes NDC will head into oblivion! We must fight them! Ewes are Ghanaians too! Ewes are great ppl! pic.twitter.com/FmHe2dMJFf

A country where Ewes find it difficult to associate with Akans especially. The ball game is different and difficult when it comes to marriage.
Here we are today witnessing inoculation, where children are taught to judge and hate Ewes even before they meet them.

How come?

So such foolishness was approved to be used in schools? What have Ewes done to those in charge? https://t.co/f4UDKj5iAU

When Yao Domelevo’s issue came up, we told you peeps that it’s a fight against all Ewes yet, you said we were being partisan. Nana Addo, the entire NPP and G. E. S have demonstrated a great lack of intelligencece in dealing with Ewes. We will burn all those books into ashes.
