Chieftaincy is divisive, breeds tribalism and is a harbinger for war. It is antiquated, anachronistic and poses the risk of a parallel government. Abolish it now!

This is about the 4th time I’m seeing this feature on GhanaWeb. It is not done for free. The Chief couldn’t build the largest Sewing Center or the biggest Cocoa Shed in Ghana but spent a fortune on building hiimself a One Million Acre Palace whilst his village people sleep in Atakpami Mud Houses. Ayekoo. We’re waiting for the disputes and litigation, to see how it’ll be kept after Nana has departed .

I really don't see anything wrong about the Chief and people of Assin-kushea promoting their obscure village to make visible in the affairs of the country and beyond.

I don't know which part of the planetary system you come from but here on planet earth, we have what we call advertising, marketing and promotion. The qualities of a personality, entity, product or service are, by the medium of these mechanisms thrust into the public domain to engender their qualities, usefulness, availability and even sometimes, their mere existence. In do doing, the subject-matter acquires recognition, value, credibility and thus, one kind of value or the other.

With this vslue-added stature, the subject matter gains interest and marketability which then ultimately translates into hitherto unforeseen investments and income. There are many products and entities which are promoted - even on the same media platform, several times a day for several days, weeks and months. Obviously as a cave-dweller, you may not be aware of the myriad of benefits gained from such arrangements but, that is why when adults are talking, children should stay away and keep their mouths shut.

I couldn't read all of your comments but you're the only one who actually commented sensibly.There is nothing wrong at all for one to advertise himself or herself.And there is nothing wrong for a village, town or country to advertise itself.I don't know how to call the mindset of some Ghanaians.However, I will say that Ghanaians need education and you don't have to be in a classroom to have an education.It starts from knowing Jesus Christ because without Him we are nothing.Instead applauding this chief and use him as an example, he is being bashed by ignorant and uneducated people.What a shame!

@Nananom. Myself, I am quite impartial - if not outrightly skeptical about chiefs and the chieftainship institution in this country. However for a people who for over 400 years, were methodically robbed of our culture, lands and raisons d'etre, I would suggest that for the lack of any other capable institution to supervise and keep guard over our cultural and traditional values, we should maintain our traditional authorities - our chiefs, even if only to publicize the fact that we do have some kind of traditional governance system that is supposed to be a watchdog for our intrinsic values. However, the chiefs must be made to understand that being a chief is not only about showing off regalia on festival days and engaging in land deals.

Haters as usual. People from inferior backgrounds are spewing rubbish. Thank God Nana is well educated. And I am very happy that Nana is Akan and a Professor in one of the universities in Ghana. Nana has also made his town a clean place. People should go to Assin Kushea to learn common sense. Nana please help us teach these haters how to exist with our brothers. Help us to train them to appreciate the achievements of others. They should not envy successful people. And they should be trained how to be wise and civilized

@kwabena assuming. Get this information into your dull head and begin to read wide to understand where the world came from and where it is headed. Who cares if the chief of that palace is highly educated, it is just a stupid idea built a huge palace at the time chieftaincy is at the verge of collapse. Don’t you think that we need to move away from this chieftaincy stuff in order to move the country forward? Chieftaincy is part of the reasons why Ghana is not developing. For the country to put things in perspective, the chieftaincy institution must be abolished. Look at yourself calling someone an inferior tribe! Why not remain in your home region and develop it if you claim to be a superior tribe. Don’t come to Accra for greener pastures if you think your tribe is more superior to others. A country like South Africa with minimal chieftainship affairs has developed far better than most European countries.

Pure Marxist, Leninist Bs. Do you pay your taxes to chiefs. You vote for corrupt politicians, and blame the chiefs for lack of developments. See how the most successful Arabs are ruled by monarchs.The most revered person in Japan, one of the most technologically advanced people, is the King. Your narrative is being pushed by power hungry, and dictatorial politicians. Ghana is not Russia circa 1900s. Western style democracy has not been good for Africa, the chiefs are much more accountable, but the colonial mentality of yours can't comprehend.

This Chief speaks with great humility and I love him for that, he also has respect for humanity, he has really done his human best. From his speech he loves nature and tourism and so he designed his palace to look like a tourist site, clean and beautiful as well and so humbling to the point of adding a mortuary to remind him of his mortality. If tomorrow someone wants to turn his palace to an institution, his name cannot still be left out as he is the only reason we have what we have now at Assin Kushea. Thanks a lot great Chief. Bravo
