Donatus Akamugri’s respect for tradition: Ignore detractors – Anatu Bogobiri Esq

The Upper East Regional Minister, Hon. Donatus Akamugri, has demonstrated his commitment to Ghanaian traditions by showing appreciation to a drumming and dancing troupe that welcomed him to Bolgatanga township.
According to cultural protocols, acknowledging performers with a token of money is essential to avoid disrespecting tradition and damaging relationships with cultural troupes.
In essence, Mr. Akamugri’s actions underscore the importance of respecting cultural heritage and traditions, particularly in a region with a rich cultural diversity. By embracing these traditions, Mr. Akamugri has shown his dedication to serving the people of the Upper East Region.
The significance of cultural protocols cannot be overstated, as they play a vital role in promoting social cohesion and community engagement. By upholding these traditions, Mr. Akamugri has sent a strong message about the importance of preserving Ghana’s cultural heritage.
“Cultural protocols are essential to our identity as Ghanaians, and it’s heartening to see leaders like Hon. Akamugri upholding these traditions,” says Anatu Bogobiri Esq. “It’s crucial that we prioritize our cultural heritage and pass it down to future generations.”

“Cultural Protocol with Consequences: The Necessity of Acknowledging Drummers and Dancers”
The Upper East Regional Minister-Hon. Donatus Akamugri received a surprise celebration as he entered Bolgatanga township met by a complete drumming and dancing troupe in a lively, jamboree style.
As is customary, the Hon. Minister showed appreciation for the performers’ energy and skill by giving them some money.
As seen in the video, he gave them all the cash he had in his breast pocket.
It’s worth noting that traditionally, showing appreciation of gifting or showering money is necessary in such circumstances that the Hon. Minister found himself.
Considering the circumstances – that the Hon. Minister was on the rooftop of a moving car, and the drummers met him on the highway – it wasn’t practical for him to get down and acknowledge their performance face to face by putting the money on their foreheads as is customarily done,instead, he chose to show his appreciation from a distance by giving them the money.
The Cutomary Repercussions
If the Hon Minister hadn’t shown appreciation or recognised the drummers and dancers with a token of money, it would have had significant traditional repercussions. Specifically, two major consequences would have arisen:
– Disrespect towards tradition: By not showing appreciation, the Hon. Minister would have been perceived as disrespectful to the drummers and dancers and its traditions.
– Loss of future courtesies: Failing to recognize the drummers and dancers would have meant that the minister might not receive similar courtesies on future occasions, potentially damaging his relationships with Cultural Troupes.
These repercussions highlight the importance of showing respect and appreciation for cultural drumming and dancing troupes.
Let’s focus on the tasks at hand and disregard these misleading posts and propaganda by detractors.
