  Our backwardness and inability to progress,spring largely from this antiquated,feudal and parasitic institution.Ghana needs a much stronger Nkrumah - an Ataturk(Turkey), a Lee Kwan Yew(Singapore)or Tunku Abdul Rahman(Malaysia),to remove all the decadent and useless traditions, cultural norms and tribalism that are thwarting the development of this country.
  
  Indeed,Ghana is xxxxxx up and retrogressing - corrupted by POLITICIANS(NPP&NDC),CHIEFS,JUDGES, and CHARLATANS masquerading as bishops. Only a radical change(as happened in the U.S.,Europe and elsewhere),effected by selfless, nationalistic,visionary,uncorrupted leadership - can generations to come be spared the abject poverty(in the midst of plenty),illiteracy, permanent unemployment and subjugation by the elites.
  
  Folks,there are dark clouds on the horizon and we cannot afford to be slumbering or singing "FAMA NYAME" songs.
  
  PEACE

  Better call a spade a spade than a big spoon!! the lifestyle of our current primitive and selfish chiefs is a disgrace to us yet we have to say it in-house. Democracy does not exist among Ashantis yet we are the proponents of it in Accra. Our only threat is the small tribe EWES like Chinese to USA.

  Ashantis form the foundation of Ghana and we're the backbone of Ghana's economy.Asanteman is here to stay,our rich history and culture can not be wished away by haters and envious tribal bigots.

  Deutschland über alles - OR ASENTAMAN UBER ALLES????????
  
  ASANTEMAN ABOVE ALL??? NO, NEVER - THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!
  
  ASENTES ALWAYS HAVE TIS IONFERIORITY COMPLEX AND WILL ALWAYS MOVE HEAVEN OR EARTH TO BE HEARD OR SEEN. Over here in Europe, they are the LOWEST of THE LOW!!! THIS MENTALITY OF THEIRS TRANSLATES INTO ALL THEIR ACTIVITIES.
  
  SINCE INDEPENDENCE, THEY HAVE BEEN AT IT. BAAFO AKOTO - MATI MIHU, UNITED PARTY etc., etc.
  
  NOW THE NPP - A TRIBAL BASED PARTY!!! ALL ASENTEMAN IS DOING IS TURNING GHANAIANS AGAINST THEM. DID THEY GET ANY VOTES IN THE VOLTA REGION - and if so, how many & what percentage? What about the NORTHERN REGION???
  
  WELL, THE ASENTEMAN IS DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE!!!

  The departure of the New Juaben people from Asante does not seem to have had any salutory effect on our chiefs. They continue to indulge in the same roguish behaviour as their Asante counterparts. For how long will the Kubease Stool, which belongs to the Ekoonas,remain in abeyance since 1972 as a result of the attempted usurpation by the Asonas?
