THE TINDANANCY AND NORTHERN TERRITORIES' POLITICS (MODERN DAY NORTHERN REGION OF GHANA).
‎
‎Many people, including Europeans, acknowledged that the Tindanas were already having their custodian roles as caretakers of the lands on behalf of land gods. Naturally, a Tindana is an earth chief priest who may be a leader of a clan that is the first indigenous occupant of that land and purifies the land by pouring libations, communicating, performing sacrifices, or performing any other ritual to the earth gods. Tindanas are very powerful people with regard to land use and land ownership systems. In Northern Territory politics, Tindanas are pure traditional African believers. Until the arrival of British indirect rulers, these were powerful people equal to governors. A Tindana was never second to anyone except the land gods. That was why they were called Earth Chief Priests. They were modern-day ceremonial leaders and sometimes led their people in defense of the land, properties, and people in the advent of war. A Tindana was more than a mere chief who came to settle on the land for businesses or any expedition. Whoever comes to the Northern Territories has to revere them before doing business with them. The Europeans had already planned to weaken the Tindanas and do away with their nemesis. This was evidenced by the Berlin Conference, chaired by Otto von Bismarck. So when the Germans came to the Northern Territories and tried aggression, the Tindanas fought them. They later have to lower themselves in order to be able to do business with them. Remember that indigenous people already interacted with Arabs, Moroccans, and Europeans during slavery before the Germans who came for control and colonization after the Berlin Conference. During the First World War, most of the Tindanas led their people to help the Germans fight the other Europeans. The Germans lost the war. The British blame the Tindanas and indigenous people for helping the Germans. In their quest to punish the Tindanas, they were represented by indirect rulers in Nigeria, Ghana, the Northern Territories, and other parts of the world. They form a political system in the Northern Territories and intentionally neglect the Tindanas by using chiefs to do their business. Tindanas who opted out went to war with the British colonizers. In areas like Chale (modern-day Yendi), which was the traditional capital of the Northern Territory's Tindanas and indigenous people, fighting erupted. The British with powerful machine guns and AK-47s overcome the situation. Some Tindanas take covers, and the British rely on their indirect rulers(Chiefs) to form a political system that created Mamprugu Province, Dagomba Province, and Gonja Province.The British supported the indirect rulers with structural administration, persuasion to merge allies, incentives to some local people, and military support in order to peacefully control the Northern Territories. Interestingly, these are Muslim religious believers who have no relationship with traditional land ritual systems and people. They need the support of the Tindanas in some of the sacred areas like Bawku, Chale (Yendi), and other areas to communicate with the Land Gods. These chaotic systems of confusion was brought by the British in their quest for the British Empire. Any argument that says Northern Territories Tindanas and indigenous people were not formed, have no political system to control their lands, and did not have any governance structural system practicing before the arrival of the British indirect rulers are false, fallacious, mischievous, nebulous, and plunderous. Such commentaries are fabrications by bigots who helped Europeans plundered the Northern Territories.

To I agree with you on the artificial creation of chiefs in some areas in the North by the British in order to rule. I however, reject the idea of generalising the whole Northern Territories as not having any organized system of ruling except Tindanas. Many towns in the North already had chiefs and Tindanas playing their coordinating roles at the same time long before the arrival of the whiteman. Note that, not all Tindanas are land owners, some are chosen to perform sacrifices on behalf of their chiefs. Search for Tindanship among the Gurunsis

Can the Asantehene who is also a Paramount Chief destool another Paramount Chief? I think that the Asanteman Council does that. If he destooled another Paramount Chief, then he did that on behalf of the Asanteman Council. Traditionally, he can’t destool another Paramount Chief. He tries to assume some Powers that have not been granted him. This is why he has problems with the Paramount Chiefs of Kokofu and New Juaben. The New Juaben Paramount Chief and the people of New Juaben don’t take instructions from him but from the Asanteman Council.The Asantehene may bring problems to Asanteman. He needs to understand that he IS NOT A KING BUT A PARAMOUNT CHIEF.

Sue and lose and see the much penalty you may be made to pay for even wasting the time of the court. This is not like Ghana where people make frivolous lawsuits, lose their cases and just get away with it. Don’t think of suing me in any Ghanaian court because I will never respond to it. I don’t have time for such nonsensical nonsense that goes on in Ghana. Come and sue me in Uncle Sam’s country if you have money to waste.

KUFUOR AND HIS APPOINTEES CAME INTO GHANA GOVERNMENT TO LOOT AND FREELOAD ON GHANA TAXPAYERS, AND THEY GOT AWAY WITH ALL OF THOSE.

SO, AKUFO-ADDO ALSO MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR TO GHANAIANS THAT HE AKUFO-ADDO AND HIS APPOINTEES ALSO TOOK A DIVE INTO GHANA GOVERNMENT TO LOOT AND FREELOAD ON THE STATE, PERIOD!

MAHAMA IS ALSO IN AGAIN TO SUBTLY LOOT THE STATE, BUT HIS APPROACH IS SMARTER BY GIVING A GOLD MINING CONCESSION TO HIS BROTHER TO MINE GHANA'S GOLD FOR THEMSELVES, WITH THE LEFTOVERS GOING TO GOLDBOD AS THEIR "CORPORATE SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION" TO THE USELESS MUMU PEOPLE OF GHANA.

SUCCESSIVE ASANTEHENES AND SAM JONAH AND OTHER CHIEFS HAVE BEEN HAVING THEIR SHARE OF GHANA'S GOLD FOR DECADES. SO HERE GOES THE CYCLE OF ENDEMIC LOOTING OF THE GOOD REPUBLIC OF GHANA.

The destoolment of an Omanhene in Asanteman by the Asantehene is not traditionally recognized. The Asantehene is also another Omanhene and cannot destool another Omanhene. Can he destool the more educated Omanhene of New Juaben? That would not be recognized. He can’t summon any other Omanhene to his Palace. He can only do so on behalf of the Asanteman Council. Such developments in the past led to war between Juabeng and Asanteman. The people of Juaben were defeated and the Paramount Chief of Akyem Abuakwa gave the people of Juaben present day New Juaben. So, the people of New Juaben do not take direct instructions from the Asantehene but from their own Omanhene and the Asanteman Council. When the Queenmother of Asanteman died, schools, markets, shops and offices were not closed down in New Juaben. The people of New Juaben did not walk barefooted as the Asantehene directed. People there went about their normal businesses. The Asantehene should not assume any powers not granted him.

Does being an Asante make you superhuman? I have an Asante blood in me but will never crave to be one. I respect the hardworking nature of the Asante people but will never have anything to do with how they look down on other ethnic groups and mostly try to be rich through unorthodox means. Is it not the general belief that Asante people are KALABULE? Can you run away from this fact?
I have lived and worked at many places in Ghana and know how they look at Asante people. Even in Asanteman, they look down on each other depending on which part one comes from. That is why many Asante people claim to come from Kumasi and try to trace their family houses close to the Palace of the Asantehene. I proudly present myself as a Ghanaian and don’t look down on any Ghanaian. Yes, and married someone who is not an Asante and never have problems with her.
Let me ask you who the father of Osei Tutu who formed Asanteman was from? Was he an Asante? Have you heard of the Asante maxim that OBI NKYERE OBI ASE WO ASANTEMAN MU? Find out the reason for that. I am proud to be a Ghanaian.

Ghanaweb featured him yesterday in an article, and stated that he was enstooled in 1937 at the age of 17 years. That means he is 106 years. He was praised for the development he has brought to his people, including electricity and a secondary school he founded and later handed over to the Ghana government.

What kind of justice is this? This removal is tantamount to killing the chief with a gun! Did the King weigh the pros and cons? The man occupied his throne before the King was born and from his records, the chief has done well. Kenyase now has a university of mines and engineering. So what at all can trigger his removal at such an old age? The King seems to enjoy destoolments! That’s sad…..

@Prof, exactly so.I think the Ashanti King failed in this regard; the Paramount Chief has reigned for so long and very old, about 106 years old.All that the King needed to do was manage him out nicely and get a younger son to take his place.No need for outright destoolment.The guy is a living History and that is to the credit of Asanteman.

@ Massa, and some ignorant people assume or think that colonialism and imperialism is only done by white people.
When Assntes are forcefully doing it to others , it is OK.

We're the Ahafos even Asantes? No, were they colonised and subajuted just as Europeans did? Yes. But, I do blame the people of Ahafo. Nkrumsh, gave them the chance to break away from this Asante Tyranny in 1959, they foolishly chose to ignore it. Now, someone sits in Kumasi and tell them that their own land belongs to him because his ancestors beat them up 300 years ago.

The Bono (Brong) and Ahafo states were brought under Asante hegemony between 1712 and 1723 during the reigns of Asantehene Osei Tutu I and Asantehene Opoku Ware I. Key milestones include the initial Asante invasions around 1712 and the decisive defeat and destruction of Bono Manso by Opoku Ware I in 1723–1724, which firmly reduced the Bono/Ahafo territories to vassal status..

Conquest Timeline1712: Initial Asante military incursions into the Bono region under early imperial expansion.1719–1722: Conflicts involving Aowin and surrounding areas led to the claiming of Ahafo territory.1723–1724: Decisive campaign by Asantehene Opoku Ware I defeated the Bono state, destroyed Bono Manso, and established direct vassalage

That is very true. Tell that to the Asantehene who presents himself as the KING OF GHANA when he goes to Europe and the USA. Many Ghanaians know he is a crook. Did he not at a point in time decorated himself with so much Gold to Europe and came back to report that they have been stolen?
The Asantehene should know that we live in the Computer and Internet Age so he can’t bully his way around. He is just like any other Paramount Chief of Ghana. He is making Asanteman to gradually lose respect. He needs to respect himself.

Does one need to go to Kumasi to do that? If he has that much Traditional Power, let him destool any Paramount Chief in Asanteman on his own authority but not that of Asanteman. Can he summon the Paramount Chief of New Juaben to his Palace with his own authority. The people of New Juaben respect the Asantehene as a Paramount Chief of Asanteman but don’t take direct instructions from him. They take direct instructions from the Paramount Chief of New Juaben Traditional Area.

Galamsey, along with the missing gold that was 'lost' when he was traveling abroad, is what bought the rolls Royce and the multi million pound mansion in London, and built Prempeh airport. Why would he stop such a cash cow on his land even though he could? Anyway, it is insulting to destool such an old chief this way.

Why do this to a 106 year old man who has ruled for 90 years? This is not the way to thank him at all. Did the King call for his medical records? We need to be celebrating this man instead of disgracing him in public by removing his sandals. Which people are advising the King? He seems to be enjoying destoolment. It’s not good at all. If he doesn’t take care, he himself will be destooled by force before long! A word to the wise is enough!

Why is the Berekumhemaa delivering her neck willingly in the Asante noose? Even though the Asantehene and his quistlings and their diabolic plans will be to no avail, Berekum people must not tolerate such stupidity of the Queen and her moron brother. Berekum is a Paramountcy no by courtesy of Asantehene, why will the independence of Berekum be delivered on a silver platter to corrupt Kwaku Dua of Kumasi? What was the total amount of money that was given at Manshia and from whose coffers did that money come from? When did Asantehene or his Asanteman Council give the people of Berekum a cent, penny or pesewa? Never and no record except to brutally decapitate a warrior Chief of Berekum for no reason except cruelly .
