North Ghana Mission HAKIM ISHMAEL YAKUBU, AND JULIANA TETTEH Hakim Ishmael Yakubu is executive secretary of North Ghana Mission. Juliana Tetteh is an administrative assistant for North Ghana Mission. The North Ghana Mission is a part of the Northern Ghana Union Mission in the West-Central Africa Division of Seventh-day Adventists. It was organized in 1968, and its headquarters is in Jakarayili, Tamale, Ghana. Its territory includes the following districts and towns in the Northern Region: Bimbilla, Bole, Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo, Chereponi, Damongo-Daboya, Gambaga, Gushegu, Karaga, Kpandai, Kumbungu, Mankragu/Moagduri, Saboba, Sagnarigu, Sang, Savelugu, Sawla, Tamale, Tatale, Tolon, Walewale, Wusensi, Yendi, Zabzugu; the following districts and towns in the Upper East Region: Bawku, Binduri, Bolgatanga, Bongo, Fumbisi, Garu-Tempane, Nabdam, Navrongo, Paga, Pusiga, Sandema, Tongo, Zebilla; and the following districts and towns in the Upper West Region: Funsi, Gwollu, Issa, Jirapa, Lambussie, Lawra, Nadom, Nadowli, Tumu, Wa, Wechiau. As of June 30, 2019, the mission had nineteen churches with 8,530 members amongst a population of 3,573,949.1 The Origin Pioneering work and growth of Seventh-day Adventism in northern Ghana took place in the 1950s. The Chumburu people in East Gonja (now Kpandai District) made serious efforts in these years with “pioneering workers like F. Ankamah Afari of Buem and Samuel Alex Amfo”2 leading out. One Moses Kwabena Kuma who became exposed to the Seventh-day Adventist message preached the gospel message in Kumdi after his prior encounter with Adventism in Agona-Asante around the late 1940s as a farmer. His efforts indeed attracted the Chumburu and Nawuri people of the then East Gonja District. His early converts were John Kwasi Addi, Abraham Awase, and Paul Didaianyi.3 Paul Didaianyi, a native of Boafri came to Kumdi to learn blacksmith work, heard the gospel message, and returned to his native home to preach the good news. The message then spread through Boafri and Badwamsu. The Chumburu people, who heard the message in Kumdi, spread it through Blajai.4 As the Church developed and organized in the North, evangelists engaged to minister in Kpandai included E. B. Akyiano, J. A. Boateng, A. K. Boadi, F. Ankamah Affari (the first resident evangelist), S. A. Amfo, D. K. Boahene, and Kofi Antobam. T. K. Anane- Affari, who later became a gospel worker, was then a steward to K. Antobam and S. A. Amfo.5 The informal pioneering drive among the Nawuri and Chumburu went on concurrently with the formal efforts to establish the Church in Tamale, the regional capital of the North. Jesse Gibson, a missionary, raised $1000 to start missionary work among the Dagombas in Tamale. This provided funds to hire the first missionary, Emmanuel Bruce Akyiano, an Akyem Abuakwa citizen from Osiem. Despite the large Muslim and animist population he had to work among, he rose above all odds to win souls in this territory. His hard work encouraged the leadership to ordain him as a gospel minister in April 1953.6 Southern Influence Other workers who complemented the work of Akyiano were J. A. Boateng and A. K. Boadi, both from Akyem Ayirebi in Akyem-Oda; Henry E. Rieseberg, a Canadian; Johanne Onjukka; and S. A. Amfo from Nsutam in Akyem Abuakwa. 7 On the account of the hard work of these gallant soldiers of the Cross, the North Ghana field was organized into the North Ghana Mission with Johannes Onjukka as the first president and headquarters in Tamale. It was part of the West African Union Mission headquartered in Accra. The movement began to grow to encompass lay evangelistic activities, predominantly from the Akyem who came to do business in the North. This caused the church in Tamale to grow faster, and it was organized in October 1968.8 By 1970, the North Ghana Mission had grown to a membership of 116 in the Tamale church.9 From Tamale, the Church began to grow towards the Upper regions. By 1973 with the joint efforts of lay people, such as James Coffie, Rose Abaawa, Agnes Agyapomaa, and Maame Ataa, pushed the Adventist presence to Bolgatanga. Other southern business dwellers who influenced the work in the North after July 1979 included Robert Kweku Abebrese of Bekwai-Asante; Denis Mochiah, a Nzima; and C. W. Mensah from Aworowa, Techiman.10 Edmond Anifo, K. O. Amoyaw, Enoch A. Owusu, Emmanuel Krobea Asante, S. A. Koranteng, Ambrose K. Waahu, Newman Kwame Walkson, and W. B. Ackah helped to grow the church in Bolga in 1969. The migration of southern Ghana Seventh-day Adventists to the north has always influenced the growth of the Church in North Ghana Mission. In recent times, this pattern has produced a negative effect on the indigenes joining the church as they see it as a church belonging to the Akans, the tribe of southern Ghana from which came the initial members of the church in the North. However, this is not the only factor causing the indigenous tribes not to attend church. Other reasons include difficulty in following doctrines, polygamy, strong attachments to traditions, the growth of Islam, and the presence of Roman Catholics in Wa, Lawra, Tumu, and Navrongo. Despite these challenges, the Adventist message has reached all of these areas and churches have been opened.11 Opanin Emmanuel Sarpong of Nsuta-Asante also influenced the growth of Adventism in Walewale among the Mamprusi. Growth of North Ghana Mission It took Adventism northern Ghana more than a decade, from 1950 to 1968, to become a mission. When the North Ghana Mission was established in 1968, Johanne Onjukka became the first president. He was supported by an executive committee comprised of K. O. Amoyaw, D. K. Boahene, James Coffie, R. O. Opoku. Amoyaw and Ojunkka were the only ordained workers; while D. K. Boahen, Kofi Antobam, and R. A. Salifu were licensed ministers.12 In 1974, Walton S. Whaley, an African-American, succeeded James M. Hammond as the president of the North Ghana Mission. There were just two organized churches in Bolgatanga and Tamale with a membership of 408 and twelve workers at the time. Though the number of organized churches remained the same up until 1979, the membership increased to 870 (comprised largely of member from the South). Professor Owusu Mensah acknowledged that the first historic ordination in the mission was that of E. A. Owusu in 1974. George Elmer Bryson, another African-American, took over from Whaley in 1978; however, he soon returned to the United States and unfortunately died in an automobile accident.13 C. B. Mensah, the union secretary in Accra became acting president of the mission. In 1980, L. G. Antonio, a West Indian based from Great Britain was appointed president.14 Meanwhile, the Upper East and Upper West regions each had only one pastor, Adams Alhassan Nwumele in Kpandai and Samuel K. Koranteng in Bolga respectively, and the whole of the Northern Region was one district of churches pastored by J. K. Dankwah.15 Around 1984, I. T. Agboka became president with T. K. Anane-Affari, secretary, and Isaac Owusu, treasurer. From 1986 to 1991, S. A. Koranteng was president. He was followed by A. K. Waahu, during whose administration, Amos Oppong, served as treasurer and Abass Issifa, secretary. Issifa was succeeded by Zachariah Asuboni as secretary. Waahu was elected secretary when E. O. Abbey was elected president, and Oppong Mensah was elected as the treasurer at the fifth triennial session held in Valley View University, Oyibi-Accra, May 16-21, 2000.16 The next administrative team was led by E. Y. Frempong, president, with Solomon A. Annan secretary-treasurer, and Adams Alhassan Nwumele, departmental coordinator and later secretary, from 2004 to 2008. From 2009 to 2010, Paul Adu Sampah was the president with Philemon N. Aboungo, secretary, and Solomon Annan, treasurer. In 2011, Fred Agyei-Baah became president with Philemon N. Aboungo, secretary, and John Okrah, treasurer, who all served until 2015. From 2015 to 2018, Adams A. Nwumele served as president, assisted by Seth Adjei-Mensah, secretary, and Emmanuel K. Bawah, treasurer. In 2018, Godfred Kwesi Ataburo became president with Hakim Ishmael Yakubu, secretary, and Clement Puori Guri, treasurer. They were all serving at the time of writing.17 Bole District Bole District started with a membership of six in 1993 at Bole under the leadership of Matthew Kofi who came from Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo region. The other members included Nii Lamtey, Amanowa Monica, Mr. Agiri, and Maame Frema. The church grew to encompass Kelampoblie, Mandari, and Tinga under the leadership of Enoch Brenya (2011-2015). Hakim Ishmael Yakubu came to sustain the gains and entered Bale and Gbampe (2016-2018). The district is a young district and at the time writing had a membership of 117.18 Buipe District The church in Buipe opened in 1993. The war between the Gonjas and Konkombas interrupted the progress of the church here for some time, and sometime in 1994, after the war was over, the believers started meeting again. In 1995, Paul Danquah was posted there as a church pastor. He built the church building and a school before departing in 2000. A Global Mission Pioneer took over from him, and later Samuel Atta Berfi was appointed church pastor on November 8, 2015. At the time of writing, Theophilus Appiah-Mensah served as pastor with a membership of forty-six in the Buipe church and thirty-six in the Damongo church—the only two churches in the district.19 Tatale District The Tatale church was established in 1984 in the Yendi District. Te Tatale District was formed from a portion of the Yendi District in 2017.

    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT UPPER EAST REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: ZMK Batse Festus Manu John K. Anarfi Edited by: Samuel K. Gaisie Chief Editor: Tom K.B. Kumekpor ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.

  • A Spatio-Thematic Analysis of Violent Conflicts in Northern Ghana Between 2007 and 2013
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 15, No. 2, 2016 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Patrick Osei-Kufuor, Stephen B Kendie & Kwaku Adutwum Boakye Conflict, peace and development: A spatio-thematic analysis of violent conflicts in Northern Ghana between 2007 and 2013 Kurzfassung: Der vorliegende Aufsatz enthält Informationen und Landkarten zur räumlichen und zeitlichen Dynamik gewaltförmiger Konflikte im Norden Ghanas und fokussiert deren Struktur, Ursachen und Entwicklungstand. Die primären Daten der Studie wurden in ausgewählten Konfliktherden erhoben und dienen zur Validierung der sekundären Informationen, die den Berichten zweier nationaler Tageszeitungen entnommen wurden. Infolge seiner großen ethnischen Heterogenität und des Kampfes um Anerkennung und Dominanz zwischen den ethnischen Gruppen liegen die Konfliktzonen hauptsächlich in der östlichen Region Nord-Ghanas. Konfliktursachen sind Ethnizität, Häuptlingschaft, Religion, Politik, Urbanisierung, Verteilungskämpfe und der Kampf um Anerkennung. Viele der Konflikte sind nach wie vor ungelöst. Da sie den Akzent mehr auf die Auslöser der Gewalt denn auf die tiefer liegenden Streitfragen gelegt haben, blieb Vermittlungsversuchen im Allgemeinen nur ein kurzfristiger Stabilisierungserfolg beschieden. Für einen dauerhaften Frieden im Norden Ghanas müssen Regierung und Zivilgesellschaft den strukturellen Konfliktursachen größere Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Die Nationalversammlung der Häuptlinge muss Regeln und Praktiken und Bräuche der Weitergabe von Autorität kodifizieren. Um Grenzen festzuschreiben und Konflikte um Land und Boden zu reduzieren, muss der Staat die Vergabe von Landtiteln vorantreiben. Abstract: This study provides in text and in maps the spatial and temporal dynamics of violent conflicts in Northern Ghana focusing on their structure, causes and status. Primary data was collected from identified conflict hotspots to validate secondary information collected from two national dailies.

Temperature and windstorms were analysed from the observed weather data. We found that tempera- tures were consistently high and increasing. From the SPI, drought frequency varied spa- tially from 9 at Binduri to 13 occurrences at Vea; dry spells occurred at least twice every year and floods occurred about 6 times on average, with slight spatial variations, during 1988–2012, a period with consistent data from all stations.

  • A History of German Presence in Nawuriland, Ghana
    African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands Gyama Bugibugi (German gunpowder): A history of German presence in Nawuriland, Ghana Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu ASC Working Paper 133 / 2016 African Studies Centre P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31-71-5273372 E-mail [email protected] Website www.ascleiden.nl © Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu, 2016 GYAMA BUGIBUGI (German Gunpowder): A HISTORY OF GERMAN PRESENCE IN NAWURILAND, GHANA Abstract This paper discusses general political and economic issues in Nawuriland during and after German colonialism. The paper argues that the legacies of German colonialism are still largely seen and felt in Nawuriland especially in plantation projects, land and chieftaincy. Introduction The Nawuri are part of the larger Guan group in Ghana. Guans are believed to be the first settlers in modern day Ghana. They are scattered across eight of the ten regions in Ghana- namely Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Brong Ahafo, Volta, Northern, Western and Central regions. Guans speak distinct languages that are different from the major languages in Ghana examples of which include the Ga-Dangbe, Akan and Ewe. Guans in the Volta Region include Kraakye/Krachi, Akpafu/Lolobi, Buem, Nkonya, Likpe, Logba and Anum-Boso. In the central region there are the Effutu, Awutu and Senya in Winneba and Bawjiase. One finds Larteh, Anum, Mamfi and Kyerepong in the Eastern region. The Gonja, Nawuri, Nchumburu and Mpre people in the Northern and Brong Ahafo regions. Some indigenes of Kpeshie in Greater Accra also claim Guan ancestry.1 Geographically, the Nawuri are located in the North-Eastern part of Ghana. They are about 461kms away from Accra, the capital of Ghana.
