You can abolished your stupid tribe, not Ashanti Kingdom. Try it and I turn Ghana upside down. If not democracy were will you people be. MORONS.
What a Joke; not a chance!
tribal jokers; ashanti kingdom
Typical Ghanaian scholar!
Oh what a great history lesson. We have thrown away our rich heritage and adopted a foreign one. How do we grow as a people if neglect our rich heritage?
ITS NOT ARTICLE! IT'S ABOUT CORRUPTION AT THE MANHYIA PALACE!
Good for history teachers but let it be that. Ghana must move forward. We can't really move forward with lessons of human sacrifices and idol worship.
Ghana is moving to nowhere if we continue to worship with these bogus corrupt pastors with their fake churches, ruing the lives of people into poverty and making these fuckin' asshole preachers' rich. I don't think this is th ...

You call that Obroni pete James a historian? If you want the most person who knows musch of Kumawu history, then try to find one Nana Agyenim Boateng formally of Shepherd Radio-Italy,and Amansan Fm UK.
Did this "New Kumawuhene" swear to his people before going to swear to the Asantehene?!!!
Nana Kwame Afram you seem shallow in your understanding of Asante culture.
READ YOU IDIOTS. YOU WILL FIND TRUTH IN THIS ARTICLE.
THIS PICTURE LOOKS LIKE FEMALE TO ME AND AM NOT SURE THIS IS ASANTEHENE LETS LOOK CAREFULLY TO THE PICTURE HE DON'T LOOK NORMAL
Yes, you are right. But, lets not insult the king. HAHA

Has Kumawu heard of DNA? With all the point, counterpoint about who is a real descendant of the Barima Tweneboa Kodua, let all vying parties submit to DNA analysis to determine who is illegitimate. Science will trounce all an ...

WHO CARES ABOUT THIS LONG WINDED HISTORY. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR THE YOUTH OF ASHANTI LATELY. NOTHING. UNEMPLOYMENT, LWALESSNESS AND BAD ROADS.
It is up to the government to provide such things for Asantes. Come on, cheifs cannot do everything. We are all Ghanaians and we need to hold our government accountable.
Simply the truth.
It is wrong for the Kumawu white man, Nana London to claim that Otumfuor Osei Tutu, the Asantehene's power is unilateral. It is possible that the Kumawu white man may not have logical, legal, and political knowledge about con ...

Look, the case was finalized in the Asanteman council. Asantehene is the supreme court judge of the Asante. The other omanehenes are judges of Asanteman. All the omanehenes agreed that the queen mother did the right thing exc ...

Still crying over spilled milk? Should I say I told you so? Why assume Koo Dwomoo now? Still watching you.
Wow Mr Koo Dwomo, well said my Brother
Please get in touch. Adegyan@aol.com
Could anybody please help me with the explanation as why the newly installed Kumawuhene be called Tweneboa Kodua simply? Is he to be called Tweneboa Kodua 1 or Tweneboa Kodua 11?
Good question
Seems a good history lesson!
Confusing n backward... Human sacrifice n all. Want no part of it.
Please note that CHIEFTAINCY CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE ABOLISHED IN GHANA.
Those idiots must know that CHIEFTAINCY is the rich embodiment of Ghanaian Culture.
It is only a FOOL in a day dream will think CHIEFTAINCY IS abol ...

The days, when a KING in Ghana can order executioners (ABRAFUO) to bring the head of a disloyal or disgruntled sub-King, are gone.
In these days the sub-Kings need to be pampered or coursed to remain loyal subjects.

note worthy
Asantehene is first among equals!
Idiot, How does your comment add to this discussion?
Why is this ashante Hene causing confusion among his people, look society is dyinamic, he needs to find a way to stire his sub kings up than to destole them and cause confusion and hatred.
Look here the Asantehene is not like mahama who pampers his corrupt and non-performing subordinates. He is duty bound to take you down. We Ashantes love our custom, you must be serious with your subjects!!!
overlord so what.lets think about. our dumsor n the high cost of living.he can be overlord in the whole world.am even ashamed to be ashanti
You are ashamed of being an Asante AKI-OLA-Jamasi? The last time I checked, Ukraine is looking for people to fill up the space left by the separatists. You could try there! They WILL accept you without question. Good Luck.
in the face o blatant corruption festering even into our Preserved Culture and traditions why not being ashamed of this robber call asnatehene
Ghana, all the mp are poorlyand the president

History on its head!
Those disobedience destool chief shall regret forever and ever. Amen,
All this chieftaincy nonsense. From the north to the south, nothing to show for, except fighting, human sacrifice n the like to make themselves necessary, but they are already irrelevant.
It is sad to hear KUMAWU on matter of chieftaincy after the death of Barima Otuo Acheampong. NONE of the so called royals were no where to be seen nor heard,taking the weakness of Ankaase caused by dissgreement within themse ...

In the era of modern Ghana, chieftaincy has caused us more grief than we ever dreamed of.
These chiefs/kings are mostly a band of crooks who turn around to ruin their people and the country as a whole. Ghana is a mess now ...

tweaaaa
Who is Ayoo? A slave from Ejisu market.If a slave from Ejisu market descendants can be enstood as a paramont chief in Kumawu how much more Royals from Tweneboa Kodua family.
Guys, I think you should be happy that you have got somebody taking you as far back as 1774/ 1944.There's a saying (anyone who does not know the road to his/ her hometown is a sl- - -.)Think about what the road to your hom ...

Sorry. Correction!!!
Adapter Kingdom should be
ASANTE KINGDOM. Thanks
Primitive fools
oyumfuo has no right to reach into the "domesic" politics of members of the confederacy.
That stupid chief thinks ashanti kingdom for him.
We have all seen the video, and the Queen mother did not state that she had customarily presented the kingmakers with their drink money.
The Queen-mother stated that the Kingmakers demanded money(Bribe)before they would cons ...
