The History behind the ''Agbadza'' dance

by

Agbadza is a vibrant Ewe dance from Ghana, evolved from an ancient war dance called Atrikpui, transforming into a popular social and recreational dance performed at festivals and funerals. The Agbadza dance, along with its predecessor Atrikpui, emerged from the Ewe people’s history of war and oppression in the Volta region of Ghana and Southern Togo. The Ewe’s used songs and dances including Atrikpui, to train and encourage their warriors. As a period of peace arrived the 1920’s, the Ewe’s began using some of their old songs and dances, like Atrikpui for entertainment, leading to the evolution of Agbadza. Leave a comment.

Ghana's youth development and employment landscape has been a persistent challenge since independence. The scarcity of job opportunities, economic hardship, and ineffective policies have taken a toll on the youth. Those who can afford it have sought better prospects abroad, chasing the elusive promise of "greener pastures." But is there truly a more promising horizon elsewhere?

Last month, I pulled into a fuel station on a quiet Saturday morning. I asked for 200 cedis worth of diesel, the same amount I get every week for my commute. But something felt… off. The gauge moved fast, and I drove away with a lingering question: Did I really get what I paid for? Later that week, I learned something that surprised me - and maybe it’ll surprise you too. Every fuel station in Ghana is required to keep a 10-liter verification can on-site. This isn’t just for show. It’s a tool you, as a customer, can ask to use anytime you suspect under-delivery. This rule comes from the Ghana Standards Authority, and it's there to protect people like you and me.  So, here's what I did the next time I stopped for fuel. I asked the attendant to fill the 10-liter can. He looked a bit surprised but agreed. As the fuel poured in, I watched closely. The fuel level settled just below the -0.5 mark on the gauge. That meant one thing: I wasn’t getting the full quantity I was payin...
