THE ASANTEHENE, OSEI TUTU II IS A VERY GOOD MAN AND I THINK ALL PEOPLE OF GHANA SHOULD SUPPORT HIS EDUCATION FOUNDATION. AS HUMAN BEINGS WE ALL HAVE OUR IMPERFECTIONS. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH HIM IS THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM PERSONALLY. HE IS ALSO A VERY WISE MAN BUT SOME OF HIS CHIEFS ARE CROOKS WHO CAN SELL ONE PIECE OF PLOT TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS AND AS SUCH GIVES THE ASANTEHENE A BAD NAME. OVERALL, HE IS GENEROUS AND KIND HEARTED.

With all due respect Nana should be wiser and maintain the high respect accorded the Asantehene and his Ashanti Kingdom by being choosy in show-casing whatever you represent. If Nana finds the golden stool small, it is rather unfortunate to fall for pretenders and scammers trying to cash in by cheapening this worthy institution. For sure the stupid show will be riddicled in many quarters. How many youth in Britain even care about their own Imperial Majesty the Queen and the royal family. HOW MUCH MONEY IS ENOUGH ANYWAY FOR THESE CHARITY SCAMS? Please tell all parties involved to instead donate the cost of organizing such cheap publicity to the charities in question and maintain the only genuine dignity for Ghana's sake.

A bastard grew up without their fathers and many a times they jealous those who grew up with their fathers. They lack the values of fatherhood. One will call them son's of.......like JJRAWLINGS.

When Jesus christ was conceived by the spirit of God, God the creator knew the need of a human father figure in his life. So the creator ordered a man called Joseph, who was supposed to be a fiancee to the mother Mary to stay with her in a dream.

It was against the traditions of the community for Joseph to take such position for a woman who is not wedded but pregnant. Joseph heeded to the voice of the Lord, no matter what was against him.My situation is similar but not the same.
Jesus Christ was saved from growing without father figure.

Have anyone noticed that last presidents of USA have no sons. Coincidently, they do not respect the name Jesus Christ and God has denied them sons for rejecting the Son of God almighty. Who is Jesus Christ.

Africa was not to be part of it. Their foolish leaders sold us again.

Name me just one other king in Ghana who is not a chief of a town/city but his only position is that of the head of a group of chiefs in his kingdom. All the other rulers in Ghana are chiefs of individual cities/towns who may have other sub-chiefs under them. The position of Asantehene is quiet unique and different. This is not to say that the other chiefs are not important but just to buttress the fact that Asantehene is not a chief of any town/city in Ghana but the head of a group of chiefs in the Asante kingdom. Personally I don't like his rulership as I think it is riddled with corruption. However, his status as a king is undisputable

The man has no shame for all the disgrace and controversy he's brought to Asante nobility. Male Asante royals have been completely useless and mentally confused, if not deranged, since the days of Her Majesty Yaa Asantewaa. They betrayed Asantewaa and traded slaves with the Dutch while fighting the British After the fall of the Asante Empire, they became so pro-British that they opposed our independence struggle with Matemeho terrorism. Prempeh was a complete British stooge who preferred British colonialism to freedom. Their minds are completely damaged, the Asante elite men. Look at Kufuor? Same sickness with the Achem old toy, Akuffo Addo, who referred to Western powers as "natural allies" of NPP.

When will there ever be a patriotic and nationalistic male Asante leader in Ghana? One who will build his Versailles palace in Asante Region and develop Kumasi?

Accusing Nana is an act of disrespect unless you can prove your case. What has PV and Moro to do with Nana. Let the Gods deal with Nana and do not decide for the gods you believe in. Long Live Nana. Keep the gold and the mill ...

I know what Nana and others are saying " who is this nonentity who doesn't want to come - who does he think he is" But it is me who is important but all those with same mind set who wont attend" Together we are quite significant. Nana, it is people who make a king not the other way round. Bear this in mind. As someone who studied accountancy at your youth age, Otumfour knows how important annual accounts and website are. Transparency is paramount, A good website should have been created and annual accounts published for all to see. Nananom, for this reason I am not attending.

The Asante hene is on ego trip. Why is it necessary for him to hold a durbor in London when his so called kingdom and most of Asantes live in Ghana and not London. This absolutely unneccesry event is supposed to take place at a time when most of Asante young people are unemployed. Talk about wisdom and commonsense.
Besides the owners of Earl's Court are not going to offer the venue free of charge. There is going to be a charge for the venue. Who is going to pay for it? if so how is it?
I hope our corrupt Government in Ghana is not going to foot this unnecessary ego-driven event.

He is old and tired of Ghana. Plus he does not want to contract ebola so he stays in the UK and south Africa for cautionary reasons.
