Popular Ghanaian traditional leader Nana Kwaku Bonsam has raised concerns about what he describes as the unfair treatment and exclusion of traditionalists in Ghanaian society.
Speaking in a recent interview, Nana Kwaku Bonsam stated that practitioners of traditional religion are often sidelined and ignored during major public events and national gatherings, while leaders from other religious groups are regularly invited and recognized. According to him, this continuous exclusion creates the impression that traditional believers are less important or unacceptable in society.
He emphasized that traditionalists are not evil or dishonest people, contrary to the perception held by some members of the public. He explained that many traditional worshippers are simply individuals who sincerely practice their beliefs and remain honest about their faith without pretending to follow another religion.
Nana Kwaku Bonsam further called for equal respect and recognition for all religions in Ghana, stressing that traditional beliefs are deeply rooted in African culture and heritage. He urged Ghanaians to stop looking down on traditional worshippers and instead promote religious tolerance and unity.
His comments have since sparked conversations on social media, with many people sharing mixed reactions about the role of traditional religion in modern Ghanaian society.
