‘Nu’uhe gme’a': The mystic Frafra marriage custom that compels women to remain faithful to their husbands
Though the ordinance marriage is recognised by all, without first undertaking the traditional marriage, the marriage won’t be recognized by both families. Each part of the country has unique rites performed during traditional marriage ceremonies and some interesting rites are performed in the Northern part of the country. For the Frafra tribe, before a man can call a woman his wife, he needs to perform a rite called “nu’uhe gme’a”. ‘Nu’uhe gme’a’ is performed by the man’s family sending the marriage emissary to the woman’s house. But if a man does not perform the nu’uhe gme’a rites, he cannot hold a funeral ceremony for the dead wife.

Political party card more powerful and valuable than Ghana card – Kwasi Prempeh
According to him, the situation has fueled party-first ideologies that have replaced patriotism for the country. He noted that the situation has also created a phenomenon where protocol, based on partisan criteria, has now become more valuable than meritocracy. “In the 1960s, the slogan was the CPP is Ghana, and Ghana is the CPP. Today, when the NPP is in power, the NPP is Ghana and Ghana is the NPP; and when their rivals take over, Ghana becomes the NDC, and the NDC becomes Ghana. The party card has become more valuable than the Ghana Card."
