Is this the reason why Akufo Addo and his Akyempanzee family hurriedly packaged and looted Ghanaian monies as if there's no tomorrow?

Akyem Abuakwa is no more significant to the people of Ghana. Anything about them is no news these days because Aban papa aba. The criminals are not in power to promote their chiefs. Though Ghanaweb belongs to the NPP, no intelligent Ghanaians want to read anything about the Akyem Abuakwa Mafia.

Useless monkeys for very long time they love to lick the slave masters ass and sucks them. They even don't want our independence they still want to lick and suck their masters. Monkeys in humans form.

That was stupid on his part. After all the trillions the British stole from us you still gifted them a plane and his descendants are proud of it and think it is worthy of mention?

In terms of UK purchasing power, £4,000 in 1939 is worth approximately £339,380 today. This represents a total cumulative price increase of about 8,384.5% over the span of 87 years, driven by an average inflation rate of 5. ...

In terms of UK purchasing power, £4,000 in 1939 is worth approximately £339,380 today. This represents a total cumulative price increase of about 8,384.5% over the span of 87 years, driven by an average inflation rate of 5.24% per year. What a waste of money to be gifted to a colonial master that is already stealing from you!
