● Some of the books unveiled at the launch
It was an exciting afternoon of poetry recitals in the Ga Language as poetry enthusiasts converged at the Pan-African Writers Association (PAWA) House in Accra last week, to listen to some anthologies of Ga poetry dubbed “Homowo Ga Lalawiemoi”.
The “Homowo Ga Lalawiemoi”- to wit, a poetry recital recounting the Ga Homowo festival, chronicles the rich historic culture that existed in the Ga communities.
The 31-page book which was launched by the Write Ghana Initiative contains stimulating and interesting stories of the people of Ga and the celebration of Homowo festival marked every year to hoot-at-hunger in the month of August.
Written by 13 professional poets, the anthologies encompass captivating stories that could not be found on Google because they unravelled untold history and peculiar way of life of the Ga communities.
Funds were raised to help publish more copies of the anthologies to schools across the country.
Sensational Poet, Ewulu Nii Adjei Klu, author of “Kusuum Gboo”, to wit, tradition never dies, said it was important for school children to know the rich cultural values and norms of the Ga culture as a means of enlightenment.
In an interview with The Spectator, he said it was not fetish to stop entertainment activities during the ban on noise-making marked by the Ga traditional council, hence it was important for all to comply.
He commended the Write Ghana Initiative for organising such an uplifting programme to celebrate the rich history of Ga through poetry and promoting Ghanaian languages through literature.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
