10 REASONS WHY CHEKOSI-KONKOMBA AND ALL TRIBAL WARS MUST END: Pictures from the slaughters, maiming and killings are scary to the marrow. Whether you are a Chekosi or Konkomba, and by extension a Dagomba, an Asante, a Gonja, an Ewe, a Dagaaba, a Waala, a Frafra, a Zulu or whatever tribe, we must all preach peace to our people instead of wars. How are we different from one another? Is it the natural face, nose, ears, blood, legs etc or the artificial tribal marks, names, locations, houses, cultures, etc? Can we ask God to pardon us on judgemetn day? Does the Qur'an or Bible really make any meanings to us? Has education transformed us? Or we are no different from our illiterate brothers, fathers, mothers and sisters? How are we different from the slave raiders, colonialists, racists and premitive destructionist of yesteryears who had no human feelings? Have we conquered poverty, underdevelopment and the true enemies of our existence? Whatever our case is, are we saying God can't fight for us? The real tragedy of ethnocentrism is that it makes us a people who: 1️⃣ have become idiots and can't use our intellects to chat a path of peace and progress. 2️⃣fight wars for lands without telling the world how we created those lands. 3️⃣feel superior to others for belonging to other tribes but fail to ask if we actually asked God to create us into our tribes. 4️⃣become psychologically disorganised mad people who tend to use bows, arrows, guns and bullets as the only alternative to our freedom, justice and peace in an era when the pen is mightier. 5️⃣ as Nyerere puts it, become politically and intellectually bankrupt and seek refuge in ethnicity and religion as their major factor for mobilization. 6️⃣ become idiots to think that salvation is acquired here on earth when our average lifespans do not go beyond 60 years. 7️⃣ stoop so low to turn human kingdoms into animal kingdoms where cannibalism and devouring of flesh is just normal. 8️⃣fail to reason that we are all black or white, Africans, Asians, Europeans or American and our call for unity should be an economic or political one rather than warfare. 9️⃣learn our histories and pick and choose what can put us on the war and tribalism trajectory without stopping to ask if we are the ones to right the wrongs of yesterdays slavery, colonialism, robbery and wars. 🔟fail to understand that when we are triumphantly done with the wars for our tribesmen, our own people won't care if they must sacrifice us for their own individualistic goals.

My dear Konkomba brother, my dear Chekosi brother, let us cease fire. May God calm the tensions in us and among us. Amen!

Let's share to reach our brothers and sisters who may find reason to reason with us.
