This is arrant nonsense! You see, you can't even write your name. You're not a real man; you're a stupid coward, running away from your own ugly shadow!

Which ethnic group, or sub-ethnic group, in Ghana, is as barbarous and blood-thirsty like the Asantes? How many human sacrifices did you not make, and possibly continue to make, to your Sika Egua Kofi on which your current paramount chief still sits today, and which also embodies the soul of the whole Asante nation? Was Kumasi not dubbed "the city of blood"? Are you not aware of all that?

Take note of this. Your blatant continuous hatred of the Ewes will surely one day lead to a war. And, God forbid! When that time comes, it would be more disastrous for you and your people, for yo can NEVER EVER defeat the Ewes. You surely are ignorant about that period of your history that the Ewes refer to as "the Asante War". This was 1869-73, when the Asante army invaded Eweland upon their invitation by Akoto, the king of Akwamu, who were their Asante allies. In furtherance of their expansionist policy, and being driven by their foolhardy ideology of "Kum apem apem beba", the Asantes quickly hurried in response to their invitation. The result was that the Ewes annihilated the Asante army. Indeed, of the 24 generals that led the Asante army, only four were left, including their Commander-in-Chief, Adu Bofoa, who returned to Kumasi..

This suicide by the Asantes so embarrassed and embitted the whole Asante nation that they made it the third of the Three Great Oaths of Asantes ("Ntam Kesie Miensa"). The embarrassment is such that up to date none of your Asante scholars has dared write this important aspect of your history. So, your true history is not complete!

Since you seem to be so ignorant about this, I seriously challenge you to ask your older Asante folks to explain to you the meaning of the third of those Great Oaths, in which Sokode is three times mentioned.

Stupid tribalistic comment to a serious matter with no aim or effort towards solution. As Ghanaians, we can and must do better. This behavior is unacceptable, indeed, but tearing us apart amid crisis with hate-based partisanship will get us nowhere as a people. THINK before SPEAK, write or comment.

The problem with some of you Akans, especially the Asantes---and it wouldn't surprise me if you're an Asante yourself---is that you've refused to clear the log in your own eyes first in order to see clearly the speck in other people's eyes. Who're as barbaric as the Asantes? What does the so-called golden stool stand for, the stool that you still swear allegiance to? Is it not a demonic instrument to which human sacrifice is made? Is it not the stool to which your paramount chief recently called on the Asantes to swear allegiance to? And how can an Asante man or woman claim to be a true, genuine Christian while at the same time subject to the golden stool? No wonder you Asantes are the most corrupt sub-ethnic group of Ghana!

The following is my response this afternoon to a similar foolish statement one of your Akan contributors made about Ewes:

This is arrant nonsense! You see, you can't even write your name. You're not a real man; you're a stupid coward, running away from your own ugly shadow!

Which ethnic group, or sub-ethnic group, in Ghana, is as barbarous and blood-thirsty like the Asantes?

Who does not know that every Ewe has an idol under his/ her bed. ? Primitive people. The whole Ewe land from Volts Region to Badagry in Nigeria is littered with idols as well as poverty. Because nothing good comes from idol worshiping . Ewes defeated Asantes ? You must be tickling yourself . How come we have Akan areas in the Volta Region ?
