How Long Must the People Wait? Patience Is Running Out.
Current State of the Oterkpolu Bridge

The Oterkpolu Bridge continues to deteriorate while the replacement project remains abandoned. The contractor is still not back on site despite the countless appeals, questions, and calls from the community.

The people were promised action. The people were promised that the contractor would return. Yet months later, there is still no visible progress and very little communication.

How much longer are we expected to wait?

This bridge is a lifeline for Oterkpolu, Kroboland, the Eastern Region, and beyond. Farmers, traders, students, transport operators, and ordinary citizens depend on it every day. The longer this situation continues, the greater the risk to lives, livelihoods, transportation, and economic activities.

The bridge has now become a death trap for its users. Every day, people cross it not knowing what could happen next. Lives are at stake, and we cannot continue to ignore the danger. We should not have to wait for a tragedy before action is taken.

The community has remained patient. We have used our voices. We have asked questions. We have appealed to the authorities. We have waited.

But patience is running out.

The people cannot continue to watch an important bridge deteriorate while the replacement project remains abandoned. We cannot continue to be met with silence while our concerns go unanswered.

If the silence and inaction continue, the people may have no choice but to consider a peaceful demonstration to draw attention to this urgent issue and demand the action that was promised.

This is not what we want. What we want is simple: bring the contractor back to site, resume construction immediately, and complete the bridge.

The people deserve answers. The people deserve action. The people deserve better.

Please listen before frustration turns into public action.

DANGME LAND IS MOURNING

It is with sadness that I have learned of the passing of HRM Nɛnɛ(Nii) Tetteh Otu II, Paramount Chief of the Kpone Dangme Traditional Area.

Born on 1st February 1953, Nɛnɛ served as Paramount Chief from 1989 to 2026, dedicating many years of his life to the leadership of Kpone and its people.

As a Dangme activist, I recognize this moment as a significant chapter in the history of Kpone and the wider Dangme State. Regardless of our different perspectives on issues affecting our traditional area, the passing of a Paramount Chief is a moment for reflection, respect, and unity.

My condolences go to the royal family, the chiefs and elders, and all the people of Kpone who mourn this loss.

As we bid farewell to Nene, I also hope that the future of Kpone will bring renewed commitment to the preservation, promotion, and development of the Dangme language, culture, identity, and traditions for generations to come.

May he rest in peace.

Dangme Ma Kpomo, Kpone Ma Kpomo.

Dangme Land is in mourning. Rest in perfect peace, Nɛnɛ.

As we grieve and honor your memory, we call on the people of Kpone to remain united and peaceful. Let us avoid any chieftaincy disputes or divisions in the process of selecting a successor.

May wisdom, respect for tradition, and the interest of the community guide every decision. This is a time for unity, not conflict. Let us preserve the peace and dignity that Nɛnɛ stood for and ensure that his legacy continues to inspire future generations.

Rest well, Nɛnɛ. Your contributions and leadership will never be forgotten.

DANGME LAND IS MOURNING

With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of HRM (Nɛnɛ) Nii Tetteh Otu II, Paramount Chief of Kpone, who reigned from 1989 to 2026.

For nearly four decades, Nɛnɛ Nii Tetteh Otu II stood as a symbol of wisdom, leadership, cultural pride, and unity. His unwavering dedication to the advancement of Kpone and the preservation of Kpone heritage leaves behind a legacy that will endure for generations.

Today, Kpone and the entire Dangme land mourn the loss of a revered traditional ruler, a father to many, and a steadfast custodian of our customs and traditions.

Though his earthly journey has come to an end, his legacy will continue to inspire, guide, and strengthen the people he so faithfully served.

Rest well, Nɛnɛ. Your throne remains in our hearts.

Dangme Ma Kpomo, Kpone Ma Kpomo.

👑 Reigned: 1989 – 2026

UPDATE: THE FAMILY HAS BEEN FOUND

With mixed emotions, I would like to share an important update regarding the search for Mr. Nartey David T. T.

Through the support of everyone who shared the post, offered suggestions, and provided leads, the family has successfully located their father’s relatives after more than 20 years of searching.

While this is a moment of relief and gratitude, it is also a moment of sadness. The family has learned from their father’s relatives that he passed away many years ago, when his children were still very young.

A message I received from the son says it all:

“Sir, I don’t know how to thank you. 🤲😭😭 May God lift you so much. Less than 30 minutes ago, I received a call from my sisters on my father’s side, and we immediately had a conference call. They told me they had been looking for us for a very long time.”

Although the family did not get the opportunity to meet their father again, they have finally found answers, connected with their relatives, and learned more about their roots after decades of uncertainty.

This search began with a simple post and a hope that someone, somewhere, would recognize a face, a name, or a story. Thanks to the power of community and the kindness of strangers, that hope became reality.

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who shared the post, tagged friends, offered suggestions, provided leads, and kept the family in their prayers. Every share, comment, and piece of information played a part in making this possible.

Special thanks to the people of Kordiabe and everyone who reached out with advice and support. Your kindness helped bring closure and answers to a family that had been searching for more than 20 years.

May the soul of Mr. Nartey David T. T. continue to rest in perfect peace. 🕊️

The family has requested privacy as they continue reconnecting with their relatives and processing this emotional news. Thank you all for your understanding, respect, and support.

Thank you for proving once again that social media can bring people together, restore lost connections, and change lives.

HELP US FIND OUR FATHER – PLEASE SHARE

We are appealing to the public for help in locating our father, Mr. Nartey David T. T.

My sister and I have been searching for him for over 20 years. According to our mother, he left home one day and never returned. He was gone before I was born. Today, I am 26 years old, and my sister is 30.

Unfortunately, our mother has not been willing to tell us where our father originally came from or provide information about his family background. As a result, we have had to rely on information from people who knew him in our efforts to find him.

Through our search, we learned that he worked at MALATA MARKET in Accra New Town as a cassava supplier between approximately 1994 and 2000. Although we do not know the exact year he left the market, many elderly traders still remember him very well.

At MALATA MARKET, he was popularly known by the nicknames “AWOTSE” and “OSORFO.” If you traded at MALATA MARKET during the 1990s or early 2000s, you may remember him by these names.

At that time, he was believed to have been around 40 years old, which means he may now be in his late 60s or early 70s.

We were also informed that he comes from Kordiabe, a community within the Shai Traditional Area. Kordiabe is located along the Dodowa–Somanya road and is close to Dodowa, Ayikuma, Manya Jorpanya, Agomeda, and Doryumu.

Unfortunately, we do not know any of his relatives or family members from that area, and we have no way of tracing them.

If you know Mr. Nartey David T. T., also known as AWOTSE or OSORFO at MALATA MARKET, or if you know any of his relatives, friends, former colleagues, or acquaintances from MALATA MARKET, Kordiabe, or the surrounding communities, please contact us. Any information, no matter how small, could help us reconnect with our father and learn more about our family history.

Please help us by sharing this post widely, especially with people in Kordiabe, Dodowa, Ayikuma, Manya Jorpanya, Agomeda, Doryumu, Somanya, Accra New Town, and surrounding communities.

After more than 20 years, we still hope to find our father. One share could reach the right person and help reunite a family.
