    What do u mean? What lies? The guy is half Malian

  • Ex-Pope 1 year ago

    No one disputes Banku's claim that he's half Malian and half Ghanaian. Banku's story about his grandfather being brought to Ghana to clean gutters is false. The fact that Malians were allowed easy entry and residency in Ghana ...

    So, what purpose does this information serve? Why is it necessary to come out with this.

    I sincerely wonder sometimes if this Bukom guy is normal. He comes up with every shit that finds itself in his brain.

  • Ex-Pope 1 year ago

    Lets celebrate Bukom's ancestral land by eating more Thai Hom Mali Jasmine rice. And let's also not forget that Bukom's folks brought the banku recipe to Ghana from Mali.

  • Osei Manu 1 year ago

    Ozymandias don't be emotional and too personal. Bukom Banku, as we all know him, speaks with a sense of humour. Learn to be tolerant a bit!

  • Ex-Pope 1 year ago

    Nkrumah did not bring Banku's folks to Ghana. Because of Nkrumah's good relations with the Mali government, Malians were allowed easy entry into Ghana. Nkrumah never brought any person from Mali to clean gutters in Ghana. The ...

    You're lucky you've been accepted into the society.

  • Kofi Mensah 1 year ago

    Nonsense.

    Is his mother not a Ghanaian, so why must he be 'lucky to be accepted' in to Ghanaian society?

    He is is a Ghanaian and does not need to be lucky to be 'accepted'. He IS A GHANAIAN.

  • Osei Kofi 1 year ago

    What's wrong with cleaning gutters?
    Your grandfather was jobless in Mali. He got a job in Ghana.

  • Ochee-Do-Chee 1 year ago

    I BEG TO DIFFER! BANKU'S FATHER CAME TO GHANA TO BE A 'KOKO LATRINE' BOY. JUST LIKE SOME FROM DAHOMEY OR BENIN. THEY WERE SO GOOD AT BALANCING THE LATRINE BUCKETS ON THEIR HEADS!

    Banku is not lying, I know his mother very well. The mum came to stay with Banku's grandmother at Agege 205 in a house called Shepherd Bush. His mother was selling waatse and she is called sister Adobea.
