tel him to shut up
Asantehene should not be acting as if he is the spokes man for Ghana. He should keep his black head low. The age of local traditional chiefs has past and he should learn to behave.
The question is why are we always begging? Nana, the fact is your shares alone in Obuasi Gold Mines and the money that our politicians are squandering can develop Ghana to another level.
We have fools, greedy and selfish pe ...

This is the ugly Ghana that I cannot accept.Today,we are abusing a distinguished Ghanaian whose only crime was canvassing support for our country! God help us.
That is sad. What he has said makes sense
What sort of good king when you go to buy a mansion in his country and go back to him to help you. Where did you get the money to buy the mansion in his country? Are you wise enough?
Shut up and limit yourself to your domain. U can't beg in the name of ghana

AIN'T YOU A TROKOSI CAT-EATER? YOU HAVE BRAINS BUT YOUR JEALOUSY WILL KILL YOU. YOU PRIMITIVE TROKOZOID WITH NO SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC VALUE! FOOL!!
No amount of support will help in the long term, until we keep our economic house in order.
Our education is the only passport.
Please nana tell your politician friends to stop stealing from the purse so we can have some money for quality education.

correction to headline
shut up who knows u.only ASHANTI region u.pleads for kumasi support.not ghana .u are only king in your forest or bush areas. are u president of ghana?
Debate the issue and stop name-calling, 'cos it doesn't make you an educated gentleman.
The king is a leader of a people.
A leader that would go to buy a mansion in the white man`s country and go back to the white man to beg him to help you. They aren`t useless as we are. Are you wise?
YOU ARE THE MOST FOOLISH PERSON I HAVE HEARD IN GHANA. DONT YOU THINK IT IS JEALOUSY THAT IS KILLING U? BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR FOOLISH VILLAGE ELDERS, YOU WANT TO TAKE IT EVERYWHERE. MAY FIRE BURN YOU AND YOUR ...
