Am not from Ashanti but this is about the very first time the Ashanti King's name is being dragged through the gutter. This is about the very first time, from Kobia Amenfi,Obiri Yeboah, Oti Akenteh, Kwaku Duah Fitaah, Osei Tutu I, Prempeh I, Prempeh II, you name them did I historically hear that any Asantehene had dabbled himself in Politics as the current Osei Tutu !! Wow!!
Recently news went viral on the internet that there is an Arrest Warrant for this Osei Tutu II in Canada. May God Save The King!!

Ma te meho has been at it for so long time. They are a detriment to Ghana, seeing everything in tribal terms. What a shameful band of people. Sure it is hilarious as they are specialists at speaking ill. Do you ever read any NPP giving credit or praising any one? They will smear the person in a minute. That is NPP speciality. Npp are so desperate that each day they pollute the airwaves and electronic media with lies and lies. Npp criminals, thieves, looters, nation wreckers, arsonists, murderers, lairs’ what npp are looking for is to come to power to loot the nation's resources. Npp thinks Ghanaians have soon forgotten when they were stealing gold, money, land and other state properties. Ministers saving government loans in their individual foreign accounts and keeping the interest accrued before releasing the capital to nation's coffers. You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money. Npp would surely pay for their demonic and evil plans. Akuffo Addo, you will never be president of this great country.

Hmmmm!!!wonders will never end. Otumfuo's woes were started by NDC supporters, insulting Ashantis as been the backbone of NPP, they never spared the king of Ashantis. They accused him of all types of crimes including cocaine, selling his regalia abroad etc, etc. And now, when it is alleged that he played NDC' dirty game for them, these same people are now his defenders. Waaaaoooooo!! wonders will never cease.

The Asantes never distool their Asantehene. Rather, they make sure that a bad Asantehene never rules perpetually. A bad Asantehene will be poisoned, make no mistake about it. So if all what is being labelled against Nana Osei Tutu II are true, then he will not have long to rule over us before joining our ancestors.
Who said that a king has any right not to do politics? During Kutu's unigov campaign, the slogan was "Masom'". Kutu visited my hometown, unannounced, on a day some of us Aluta activists had gone back to campus to confirm whether Kutu had really opened the universities again! On our return later in the evening, we were told the chief had called a big durbar in honour of Kutu at which the chief had affirmed his support for unigov by claiming, instead of "m'asom" that "yede abor yen ntoma ano". When we confronted the chief his explanation was this: "You guys are not serious. How could I refrain from responding to the greetings of the all powerful Kutu and have my head on my neck the following day? Now, when I said "yede abor yen ntoma ano", the hidden implication was that if the knot was not tightly done, and the knot losened as we walked along, we would not take the blame if whatever was held in the knot was lost. Would you not agree with me that I was ingeneous here?" And sure enough, we all saw the sense in it! Yes, a tactful king can do politics and still keep his subjects happy.

the writer of this script is evil, treacherous and the devil re-incarnated.he smells like a seed of late kofi awoonor. but i can assure this writer that his ideals and plots will catch up with him sooner or later as his mentor.
the thing is, he doesn't know ashantis as a people. else he wouldn't have stirred it up this way to portray this degree of ignorance
does he think ashantis are stupid? they extremely wise people. the sun never sets on the british empire, tried, it never worked.in our time, rawlings and his corhots tried, but it turned out that manhyia palace is his fortress now.
long live ASANTEHENE. (THE ONLY REAL KING IN GHANA).

Who does this Al-Haj think it is decieving? When an article came off in an NDC mouthpiece, the New Free Press, it wants to tell us that it was the NPP which planted the story there.
Of course everyone will expect the NPP to raise foul against the stupid, sham and galamsey verdict by Atuguba and it may be natural for the party to go this length.However the matured manner the NPP and Nana Addo conducted themselves, putting to shame and rubbishing all lies that the NPP is a violent party, the NDC need to do something to redeem its image. Hence this stupid publication. Now the Northern folks are declaring war on Asanteman. It was Alhaji Mohammed and now it is Alhaji Bature...soon it will be the Bukom Haram and the al Shabbah. Foolish nonsense.
But who says the New Free Press is a decent newspaper? When its highly paid journalists could steal mobile phones belonging to Catholic priests. If someone in Al Haj wants to challenge me, they should ask Tommy Thompson Jnr, whether he did not steal at priest mobile phone in Christ the King Church Hall?

Adjah, Bature does not pray 5 times to Allah on any given day. This baba liga guy hits the ground with his anus instead of the forehead 5 times a day calling on the devil to grant him a fortune of riches from the Mahama war chest. Can't you tell anytime he writes or opens his stinking bad breath mouth, fire gets spewed out in print or on the airwaves? Good and honest guys get humbled when their lies and follies are exposed but, the fake and unholy ones like Bature harden up the more you expose them.

AND THOSE WHO WANT TO PLAY TRIBAL POLITICS WOULD ALWAYS READ MEANING INTO WHATEVER THE ASANTEHENE SAYS, HIS BODY LANGUAGE,HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION AND, EVEN WHAT HE DOES NOT SAY WHEN HE (ASANTEHENE) GRANTS AUDIENCE TO THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. PRIOR TO THE ADVENT OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN GHANA, THE OCCUPANT OF THE GOLDEN STOOL WAS, POLITICIANS WILL ALWAYS WANT O BE SEEN TO BE IN LEAGUE WITH THE OCCUPANT OF THE GOLDEN STOOL IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER JUST TO ENHANCE THEIR ELECTORAL FORTUNES AND, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND.

Al-Hajj Newspaper is involved in gutter journalism, sensational lies and divisive news.

I hope Ghanaians will see the paper as it is and treat its contribution with the contempt that it deserves.

I am not an NPP sympathiser but I still don't like what Al-Hajj writes about some Ghanaians particularly people in opposition.

Not long ago, Al-Hajj wrote a libellous article about Ex-President Rawlings, claiming that they knew some evil things Rawlings did in the past and dared Rawlings to challenge them so they could spill the beans to the public!!! But I am so glad Rawlings did not respond.

I wish the Asantehene had given deaf ears to the recent allegations against him regarding bribing Judges in the just ended Electoral Petition.

May I take this opportunity to advice prominent people in our country to ignore sensational news that are full of lies!! If the publishers have the evidence, let them take you to court! Don't glorify their sensationalism with responding to them.

I hope Akufo Addo and his men will disregard this sensational gutter journalism too.

Al-Hajj's contributions are inflammable and can cause unnecessary stir in the country!! Democracy has gone to the dogs.

Alhaji is associated with Islam and a person who has used lawfully acquired resources to go on pilgrimage to Mecca.I therefore want believe that the editor of the Alhaji and Alhaji has,indeed, something to do with Islam. For this reason he respect the teaching and beliefs o f Islam. The teaching of Islam on justice is an matched. Briefly, remember somebody went Prophet Mohammed to influence him on a case before him for adjudication. Prophet Mohammad did not allow that person to finish his statement. He told him to hold on. He went on to say that nations have been ruined because of such practices. He added that,'if Fatima ( she was the daughter of Him )were to commit similar crime, her right wrist would be chopped off'.This is a very beautiful teaching and lesson of justice in Islam. The Holy Prophet is on record to have warned judges who adjudicate cases to be fair and impartial in their judgments. Islam teaches that wrong doers would get their reward for their actions here on earth and hereafter.So the issue of vilification of John Mahatma, Otumfou ,Atuguba and his ilk is neither here nor there, the case is already before the Almighty Allah, Who is All Knowing, All Seeing, All Hearing,All Wise, for His adjudication.With Him no influences. Certainly, it will soon came to pass.

In case anyone was in doubt, it's now very clear that the invisible hand behind the 'New Free Press'... 'whose office and name of publishers is yet to be established' is none other than that of Alhaji Bature, owner of the Al-Hajj newspaper.

He foolishly believes he can fool all the people all the time by creating the impression that he has that admiration for Otumfuo to be concerned about someone considering his 'destoolment', a vocabulary which is virtually non-existent as far as the position of Otumfuo is concerned. Ask Alhaji Bature to tell us since when even Asante sub-chiefs were enstooled or destooled by politicians.

Perhaps he should rather concern himself with when and who is going to draw a dagger to de-skin his village chief. He can keep dreaming.

Rather than letting sleeping dogs sleep in the cases involving the Asantehene, this Alhaji must note that Asantes are more discerning than this stupid editor would like the world to believe. Which ethnic group of people in the world would like their leader to be the subject of the daily news as the sitting Asantehene has done? If it is not cocaine, it's lost golden regalia in Norway etc. And to top it all for the Asantehene to be mentioned in a bribery allegation in a very serious political issue involving the govt and the opposition and the supreme court judges is unpardonable. We expect the Asantehene to go to court if the allegation is untrue.
This disgraceful editor of the toilet newspaper would have let matters to rest if he had not published this useless piece; and by doing that he is rather inflaming the Asantehene issue. That is why I have described him as STUPID.

Is Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Really the Present day King Solomon?

By John Fosu

modernghana.com/news/172292/1/is-otumfuo-osei-tutu-ii-really-the-present-day-kin.html

In the early days of his reign, the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II initiated very sound policies. The policies implemented were geared towards not only laying but strengthening, ensuring, and enriching the production base for quality Human resources for Ghana in general, and the Ashanti region in particular. Such tentative caring policies, among which was the Otumfuo Education Fund, catapulted him into eminence, and added grace to his royalty. Was he then not conspicuously revered among his equals, and uniquely accepted as the most dynamic and dedicated Chief/King of the day? His vision was to make Ghana less reliant on foreign countries for all her human requirements as shamefully the case until today. He had wanted Ghana to stand on her feet, and be counted as being almost self-sufficient in the provision of her own daily human needs. The apex of his dream for the Ashantis and Ghanaians in general, was to bring about fairness, respectability in people, respect for people, dedication to work, self sufficiency in our basic human wants, and the acceptance of chieftaincy as having a cardinal role to play in the emancipation of Africa . Was this not the basis for likening him to, and calling him, "King Solomon?" Yes, it was all for his wisdom and vision that earned him such a propitious name. He was then seen as an auspicious chief.

One then wonders if the Asantehene has not wandered off the spirit and letter of his vision, losing the King Solomon touch. Now for unexplained hidden agenda, he has backslidden to the point where calling him King Solomon is an insult to the integrity of the biblical Wiseman. As long as he is libidinally infatuated with the queen of Kumawu, irredeemably robbed of his sense of impartiality, the little respect left for him is corrosively waning. He can cry wolf, he is not at all what he projected himself to be. Can he then be said to be full of venomous deceit? Your guess is as good as mine.

The waywardness as depicted in how the Asantehene is conducting himself in search of settlement to the Kumawu chieftaincy dispute is scandalous. A day old baby will be intelligent enough to tell where his lopsided allegiance is tilted. God willing, all their consensual collusion to rob Kumawuman people of their inalienable right to get their preferred royal installed as the next paramount chief will be in vain. Though the queen as cheap as she is as usual, has promised some sex, and others money and parcels of the Kumawu Afram plains lands should they help her enthrone a candidate of her choice. Is it not what is holding sway on the Asantehene and his corruptible cohorts? Whatever their evil intention is, they will fail, and eventually be caught in the track with their pants hanging loose over their knees.

I am highly embittered to see the supposed "King Solomon" exhibiting acts that are not only stupid, but are to underestimate the intelligence of the Kumawuman citizens. It is invariably clear how the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II and the current egotistical queen of Kumawu have ruined Kumawuman for the past 34 years. Kumawu lacks in everything that can be termed as essential development to the disgrace of her inhabitants. Why should the Asantehene in his cunning wisdom, purport to back the queen to enthrone the candidate of her choice? Is she not the very one drumming in coarse language that angers any sensible being that Kumawuman requires nothing in spite of the reality on the ground? Did she not aid her late brother to raid the coffers of Kumawuman always in an attempt to satisfy their insatiable greed? For all their 34 years reign, they only wreaked havoc on Kumawuman.

The crux of my writing today is to attack the most senseless way the Asantehene is carrying himself about. The Asantehene's Great Oath was invoked at the Asanteman sitting in April 2008 at the deliberation of the Kumawu chieftaincy dispute. The invocation of the oath was directed at preventing the sitting Kumawu queen from nominating and or installing a person of her choice as the next paramount chief of Kumawuman. The fact of the matter being, her family was dubiously co-opted into the actual royal family by the then Nana Osei Yaw Akoto, the Asantehene. She had accused the most famous Kumawu chief, Barima Tweneboah Kodua, and his Ananangya descendants of being slaves who are not eligible to ascend the Kumawu paramount chief's seat. She, being the proverbial pot indeed, was calling the kettle you are too dark. Is she with her family not the descendants of "Ayo", the northerner-slave girl purchased from Ejisu and taken to Kumawu palace to serve as a slave maid? The notorious queen was unable to counter-invoke the oath to dispel the claim made by the Head of the Ananangya royal family. She begged to be allowed time to consult with her family and elders before responding either positively or otherwise, to the oath so invoked on her.

The Asantehene out of lack of respect for the Kumawuman citizens in general and the Ananangya royal family in particular, never set a date for the queen to report back to the panel. It took him almost three months to reconvene the Asanteman chieftaincy disputation panel on the issue. What would a chief of King Solomon's calibre do for the start? One would have required of the supposed King Solomon to ask the queen about her final decision as to whether or not, she was going to challenge the oath as is required by tradition. But this fallacious King Solomon, having pre-arranged with a con-lady in the person of one Ms. Akua Wurukye and his darling girlfriend, the callous queen, gave the platform first to Ms. Wurukye. She is from the Kumawu Adomako Pim's family of Etia, the occupants of the Kumawu Etia's sub-chief's seat. She challenged the legitimacy of the Ananangya royal family by invoking the Asantehene's great oath on them. She claimed to be the originator of the Kumawu paramountcy and that she by authority appointed the sitting queen, Nana Serwaah Amponsah II, to the throne. The Head of the Ananangya royal family counteracted the assertion made by Wurukye there and then with a counter Great oath invocation. If the Kumawuhemaa knew her history why could she not do as done by the Ananangya "abusuapani" in April when she was officially challenged at the Asanteman sitting?

Your so-called King Solomon immediately saw wisdom in Wurukye's claim. Both challengers were obliged to slaughter a sheep each and asked to come back on Wednesday, 2 July, 2008 to tell their history of claim to the seat. The meeting was brought to an end.

A few questions to prod the mind of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in case he will wake up from his slumber to act as an intelligent chief he think to be. Who was the Asanteman meeting of the Wednesday, 25 June 2008 principally slated for? Why was the view of the Kumawuhemaa not sought on the oath so invoked on her? Why was she not asked if she agreed with Ms. Wurukye's claim of her Wurukye, putting her on the throne? Why has the Asantehene accorded precedence to hearing the case between Ms. Wurukye and the Ananangya royal family instead of that of the queen and the Anangya royal family? Who does he think to be fooling?

It must be noted that the original King Solomon would hear the cases in their order of occurrence. The fake King Solomon, for the fact of being dubious, is doing things in the reverse order. Is he not the one who is arranging to part with the Kumawu Afram plains lands to some Zimbabwean White farmers? Does he not know that his underhand shoddy works, hidden agenda, and selfish interests in the wealth of Kumawuman are uncovered? He can continue to childish play with fire until it burns off his fingers.

Moreover, it must be noted that the Asantehemaa Nana Afua Kobi had/has never installed the seed of her womb on the "Sikadwa Kofi". It is erroneous for the queen of Kumawu to believe that precedence has been set for her to copy. She deludes herself with the fact that as long as her boyfriend's mum put him on the Golden stool, so can she equally put her son on the Kumawu paramount seat. She should simply ask her mother-in-law, Nana Afua Kobi, "who was Akwasi Kodua" to her and why did they divorce? This Akwasi Kodua was the son of the late Opanin Yaw Forson of blessed memory from Kumawu Etia. Can the scientifically success proven DNA test not help dissuade some of the present day queens from copying blindly?

Finally, it may interest my readers to learn that a Ghanaian lady of 30 is deciding to proceed home to simply challenge the legitimacy of the occupant of the Golden Stool. She is from the Aduana family. She believes by virtue of the Asante matrilineal and clan lineage, the Asantehene's seat belongs to the Aduana but not the Oyoko clan. Nana Obiri Yeboah, the Asantehene was from the Aduana but not the Oyoko clan. For the fact of not having a sister, he bequeathed the throne to his son Nana Osei Tutu I, an Oyoko. She will invoke not the Asantehene but the Asanteman oath on the occupant of the seat. It will be hilarious if she does perform as planned but I think she is only making up a joke though intelligent as she is. She is resident in Virginia , USA .

Who is Rockson Adofo and does he speak for the NPP, Nana Addo or he's a mole from the NDC disguised as a sympathizer of the NPP and a friend, confidant, unflinching supporter of the NPP? Is the Rockson Adofo character who he says he is or it's a phantom character? Of all the articles that are posted on Ghanaweb, how come this is the only one that attracted Bature's attention for him to write a long article, virtually repeating word for word, everything in the article. Bature we know, but Rockson Adofo we don't know. So who is Rockson Adofo, how does he look like, who are his friends, what job does he do, does he speak for the NPP, who at all is the character called Adofo Rockson? Is Adofo Rockson's word so credible, such that Bature would latch onto it and run with it? Something is not adding up.

Trash paper. Tell if any Otumfuo has been destooled in Ashanti kingdom. Do your research very well before posting any falsehood in the public domain. Leave Nana Addo alone, rather help N.F .C to find solutions to Ghana mountain problems. Pleasing your pay masters in government.

Ghana must beware about this NDC party which has planted tribal sequoia. The Asantes and their Akan counterparts are very good and friendly people both home and abroad.The city of Kumasi has similarity as NYC which welcome every ethic group. Remember BAba Yara is not Asante man and is a tribal credit for the Asantes.This destruction of Asante kingdom started from Nkrumah who given part of it to northern Volta and part to B/A. There was no tribal intensity in Ghana untill NDC was formed. This article contained serious NDC propaganda language of disunity and division among (not only Asantes)but the entire Akans.

There are so many kings
Why always Otumfo.
He should concentrate on the development of Ashantis and not dwell himself in this dirty ghanian politics.
The allegations are too much.
