The word TRIBE is a Eurocentric pejorative word used to divide Africans and we must avoid its usage as much as possible. Have you ever heard the word used in Europe or America or in any advanced society. The appropriate word should be SOCIETY. That's more inclusive and accepting.

AS SOMEONE ONE OF BOTH BONO AND ASANTE PARENTAGE I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONDEMN THE ONE WHO IS WRONG HERE. AND IN THIS CASE, AGYEMAN BADU IS CAUSING UNNECESSARY TENSION!

You would’ve done better referring to it as “ Ethnicity” or an “Ethnic” group instead of “Society”. People can join societies on their own will and can also renounce it at any time of their wish. But we can’t renounce our ethnicity. People are born into ethnicity and retains membership throughout our lifetime.

WHAT IS NDC DORMAAHENE TRYING TO TELL US??? THE GOLDEN STOOL WAS WELDED??? AABAH!!! THIS IS TYPICAL NDC REASONING!!!! WE ALL KNOW GOD’S POWER IS INFINITE. WE RECOGNIZE GOD’S OMNIPOTENCE BUT THERE IS BIBLICAL RECORD OF PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS CHALLENGING OR REPLICATING THE SIGNS GOD PERFORMED THROUGH MOSES AND AARON. THE REFERENCES ARE; EXODUS 7:10-12, EXODUS 7:20-22, EXODUS 8:6-7. THE MAGICIANS SUCCESSFULLY IMITATED/REPLICATED THE FIRST 3 SIGNS OF SERPENT, BLOOD & FROGS. THE NAMES OF THE PHARAOH’S MAGICIANS ARE GIVEN AS JANNES AND JAMBRES IN TIMOTHY 3:8-9 WHEN PAUL MADE REFERENCE TO THIS BIBLICAL RECORDS. IT IS, THEREFORE, NOT SURPRISING IF WE HAVE IN ASHANTI/GHANAIAN HISTORY THAT OKOMFO ANOKYE COMMANDED THE GOLDEN STOOL. SOME OF THE THINGS HE DID THROUGH HIS POWERS ARE STILL PRESERVED IN AWUKUGUA, AKUAPIM MOUNTAINS. DORMAAHENE CAN GO THERE AND VERIFY!!!! LONG LIVE GHANA!!! LONG LIVE OUR UNITY!!!

BLACK folk can tell you about every RELIGION under the sun, but too SCARED to talk about their own AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY. In fact the Whiteman and the Arab man did a freakin fvcken good job on the mind of the African.

What the Dormaahene said was inappropriate and his constant attacks on the Asantehene are not commendable but I don’t think these are things that should be nurtured into Tribal War. I know that the Asante and the Dormaa are Akans who don’t like each other very much but if we know the effects of Tribal and Civil Wars, we shall hasten very slowly into any such experiments. We should not play any roles that would encourage these two Akan groups to even nurse the idea of any distant war between them.
The Dormaahene should realize that he is a very matured and well educated man and as a traditionalist, there are certain utterances that he should not make in public for us to maintain the fragile peace that they have between them. Perhaps the National House of Chiefs and the Christian Council should come in. If possible, the President of the Country should come in too. If the situation between these two Akan groups should explode into war, it will be disastrous. These two Traditional Leaders and their people should just know how to behave and let us enjoy our little peace that we have.

Agyena! It’s not true. If anyone told you that Asante and Dormaa don’t like each other, don’t believe them. It’s not true. We that are born into the two ethnic groups don’t see any animosity in our families. Just that this Agya man Badu 1 and his predecessor AGYEMAN BADU 1 who was pushed by the NKRUMAH’S CPP to revolt against the Ashanti domination are the bedrocks of the problem. His wife is an Ashanti and so his children are Ashanti’s just like myself. My Father is a Bono and raise me as a Bono. But our culture is matrilineal inheritance which makes me an Ashanti. So for him to cause friction between myself and his children whose mothers are Ashanti makes him a very irrational person.

Since he has not been able to apprehend those who killed his late mother at their own Palace I see him as the most nonentity person and a judge ever leaved in Ghana.I will plead with the Ashantes to pay no mind to this good for nothing person. If he knows history he should have been able to fish out those who murder his late mother in his own Palace in this twentyth century instead of going back to seventeenth century to spill odor from his mouth.

Jesus Christ is the only king and not the fake Asante Hene. Ashantis should repent from idolatry and give themselves to Christ Jesus. Don’t you know that idolatry is evil and demonic thing? There’s no throne besides the throne of God almighty Jesus Christ who will judge Asante king for promoting idolatry.

A timely call indeed and I was expecting such institutions to intervene promptly. This provocation started years back when Essumaja stool became vacant and Dormaahene came out to say that he's the right person to enstool a chief there bcos Essumaja stool belongs to aduana clan and he occupies aduanapanin stool. Since then Dormaahene has not looked back but consistently attack and ridicule Manhyia and what surprises me is that, his predecessor, Nana Agyeman Badu of blessed memories had cordial relationships with Manhyia. By his actions, it has created bad blood amongst the two groups of people which hitherto wasn't the case. We all saw or heard what happened at Sunyani on the day asantehene was scheduled to arrive at the funeral grounds of late Sunyanimanhene's final funeral rites. No one is talking about it until tempers flare up as it's happening in Bawku. Where are the security experts, conflict resolution experts and all those who love peace? Can't they see danger ahead and all the red flags flying? Do we have to wait till it escalates before we come and speak good english on radio and TV stations? Thank you doc for your call as I'm worried about the attacks from Dormaa Ahenkro.

What did he say wrong? Provide proof that Dormaahene is wrong. As a PhD holder, you should prove statements with facts that can be verified, and not make comments based on personal sentiments.

Dormahe provoked nobody. Asantes say Kwaku Duah is God, Kwaku Duah is King Solomon, Kwaku Duah is King of Ghana, Kwaku Duah is King of Kings. This is insanity, and clear insult to the Republic of Ghana. Asantes have insulted every group and even claimed that the only humans in Ghana live in the Ashanti Bush. They insult the President of the Republic and cry when Kwaku Duah is questioned. All of us are not gonna lick Kwaku Duah ass. If Ashantis show respect, they will get respect. Live Dormahene alone. It's all about freedom of Speech. Kwaku Duah is not above criticism.

Are these comments from Dormahene attacks? It is these unnecessary reactions to Dormahene's opinions which are likely to trigger tribal conflicts. We don't have to loose our sense of humour.

The animosity between the Asantehene and the Dormahene has been brewing for years and if there is no intervention , this could lead to a tribal conflict between the Asantes and the Dormaas. The national house of chiefs , the peace council, the council of elders and the jubilee house must act now to forestall peace before it is too late . Ghana are aware of the tribal conflict in the north which has claimed many lives and yet still the government has no control over the situation. If cooler heads do not prevail and the Asantehene and the Dormahene fracas escalated into a tribal conflict the government cannot control it and peace will elude us all. Where are our prophets and their prophecies?

When the smoke settles we will still have to see if there's any truth in what Nana Dormaahene is saying. Calm down people. The golden stool need not come from heaven to be a powerful symbol of unity.
