THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY AMONG THE EWES IN GHANA.

-
Image
  The informal relations between young lovers are given a stamp of seriousness and permanence by a ceremony known as ‘vɔƒoÆ’o’ or knocking. The bridegroom’s parents send his father’s sister and his brother's mother’s sister to the bride’s parents to ask formally for the hand of the bride. On arrival at the girl’s house, her parents enquire about the reason for the deputation and after hearing it, send them away for about a week whiles they consider the matter. The reason for postponing this is that customarily we do not give an immediate reply to any question of major importance. This also gives them time to make inquiries about the man and his parents if they have not done so already. They must establish the man is of good stock, able to support his wife in the manner to which she has been accustomed, and from a family free of hereditary defects, witchcraft, and criminal mentality. If the bride’s people are satisfied on all these counts and the girl also agrees to the proposal, the...

Media and the Preservation of Culture in  Africa The colonial expansion of European states in Africa was usually accompanied by missionary efforts to proliferate Christianity and European civilization. A kind of benevolent tutelage of the `inferior native' populations occurred that was particularly well-illustrated in Rudyard Kipling's The White Man's Burden. The direct consequences of the colonial expansion ranged from the genocide that wiped out large segments of the population to the subtle destruction of African cultures. Every culture has a dual tendency, a tendency toward stability and a tendency toward change. What is the contribution of culture to the development process? Surprisingly, on numerous occasions, even normally intelligent Africans erroneously and inadvertently conceptualize culture as `drumming and dancing and therefore fail to see any contribution culture makes or made to the struggle for socio-economic development. It must be noted, however, that cultu...

INDIGENOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES AMONG THE EWE PEOPLE OF GHANA.

Religious Beliefs. Various Vodu (Fon) and Tro (Ewe) orders are at the foundation of the Fon and Ewe religion. A High God exists, according to numerous informants. Ewe may say that Mawu is the creator, similar to the Christian god, or, for some, more like the diffuse life force of the universe. For yet others, Mawu is the "mother/father" of all the Trowo (powerful spirits or deities). Among Fon, Mawu and Lisa are a couple, twins, or a female (Mawu) and male (Lisa) hermaphrodite divinity. Fon may say the world was created by Nana-Buluku, who gave birth to Mawu and Lisa. For others, Nana-Buluku, Mawu, and Lisa are all Vodus, and there is no all-powerful separate creator. Among Anlo Ewe, Nyigbla, the deity of the Sacred Forest is very important, as well as the entire pantheon of Yehve spirits, including Heviesso, god of thunder and lightning, and Avle, a goddess who sometimes impersonates men. Gu or Egu, the warrior and hunter god of iron, is central among all Ewe and Fon groups...
