It has been officially been announced that the President and the Vice-President of the association have both died.

The Vice President by Name Hadjia Damata Sulemana died on January 25, 2021 due to COVID-19. She battled the pandemic for sometime but finally and sadly succumbed to the deadly grip of COVID-19.

The President and Vice President of Ghana Midwives Association Miss Hadjia Ridhwana Hawa Amoako-Adjei, joined the Covid-19 death race on 29th January 2021 after a short illness. The cause of her death is not yet revealed but it is alleged that she also died of COVID-19.

Covid-19 is wrecking havoc amongst the health workers. Government must provide enough personnel protective equipments (PPE’s) for the health workers to protect themselves.

People must take their safety into their hands and wear their nose masks and must adhere to the safety protocols to curb this pandemic.

May their Souls rest in perfect peace.

History

How Kumawu people displayed at former president “Jerry John Rawling’s FUNERAL GROUND”

The cock sacrifice. The Akan or generally ancient natives believes that, the soul leaving ones body through the mouth. He’s trying to catch the sunsum (shadow soul) of the cock.

In Asantes culture when a prominent person or a royal dies, this is commonly seen.

A cock is an important animal. It’s crow wakes us up in the morning every day.

Despite its important and majestic, its powerless in the jaw of death.
The cock signifies man, and the man signifies death.

Thus is to remind us that we are just mere mortals. No matter our importance, power and significance in society we cannot escape death.

This remind me of Akan saying “Nipa bɛgyee ne din kɛkɛ na w’ammɛ pre nyinkyerɛ” which means a man was born to seek the glory of his name not long life.
