Definitely, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is a peaceful man and will call for peace, However, he never called for a group of greedy and selfish people to use dubious means to influence and throw dust into the eyes of some chiefs to support their evil agenda.
Taferebuo??? Omenegya koraa a, obi fa no ho b3n??? Adwenebone nkoaaaaaa!!!
These selfseekers are doing everything possible to form a new group calling itself Asanteman of North America. Their vision is to create an Asante Kingdom in the US where there would be just one Asantefuohene of the United States, stationed somewhere in the East Coast.
Abusuafuo, let's tell them a big NO. Instead, if some of them are real royals to their various hometown stools, that's where they need them, not America here. ACONA is the only legal and recognized governing body of ALL ASANTES IN THE UNITED STATES/CANADA.
If Otumfuo is calling for UNITY IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, he called for a peaceful resolution to the issue, not a dubious and cunning enstoolment and coronation of a faction.
TO ALL GHANAIANS, both here in the United States, Canada, Europe, Ghana and the whole wide world, this so called enstoolment and coronation done in Columbus, OH was fraudulent. Its the first step to destroy the unity Asanteman is enjoying here in America.
If there is any way Otumfuo could be made aware of the situation here now, let him know that, very soon, the very solid Asanteman unity would be destroyed by this very group of people.
I will always continue to compare us to other tribal groups here like Council of Ewes in America(CEANA), Council of Brong Ahafos in North America(COBAANA), Fantes Association of North America(FANA), Nzema Association of North America(NANA) among others. These groups are so united that whatever they do go on successfully. Even, some locals of Asanteman, who have decided not to join Asanteman, but form their own Associations are doing wonders. For instance, Mampong Kontonkyi Kroye Kuo. Their unity of purpose and financial base is so great that, none of its members lacks behind.
What goes on in Asanteman as a group? LITIGATION throughout.
I would like Otumfuo to know that, in the not too far future, Asanteman Associations in the United States will totally collapse giving way to the establishment of local Asante towns associations. In Chicago here, we have Mampong Kontonkyi and Offinso area group functioning very well, even than the whole Asanteman association here. WHY??? Because of litigation, backbiting, hijacking of authority, pull him down and unnecessary stuff that do not promote unity of purpose of Asanteman in general. Because of the lack of unity, most people are not interested in joining us. They only need us for parties, funerals and other social functions, which we respond with vigour and grace.
Nananom Asanteman, let's wake up from our slumber and focus on Asanteman in general, instead of our selfish interest.
I rest my case. I will continue to serve the truth other than succumbing to lies and treachery.

There is no Ashanti in the so called Big Six. However, the late Mr Krobo Edusei should have been included. Anyone, who has read about the history of Ghana would know that Krobo Edusei played a prominent role in the struggle for independance. For example, the Ashanti Kingdom wanted to break away & form a Federal State. Mr Krobo Edusei fought against this & ensured the Ashanti Kingdom voted for the CPP. Mr Krobo Edusei also played a prominent role in the formation of the Brong Ahafo Region in 1958.

Thank you very much for that insightful piece. I'm really impressed by Krobo Edusei's selfless act. However, I'm disappointed in the sense that he should've allowed us to break away from these tribes that want to take Ghana as their property. They moved here from different countries and now have become a pain in our necks. The man made a serious mistake because we would have been better off without some tribes.

Unity in what? Burning an Ashanti brain can bring Unity. Look at the local gambler made King saying.If you know unity, use it to build the old lapidated traditional yorpedo city. I was quite ones, until political intolerance was placed on me witout knowing what was going on. Is it is the plan of unity, or you are trying to sound good after aiding strangers to burn the brain another oyoko ashante. What a King.Full. I wish I AM IN ghana right now, I will walk into your palace, and you will know who I am. We have seen better Kings gone.the rest are fools.

He comes here and when he is given some money he always asks for more and I even doubt he accounts for all that money to Otumfo who delegates him. He is a crook Omanhene.

It is a complete lie & irresponsible to state that the ancestors of the current Asantehene started the Slave Trade. This evil trade began in the 15th Century, whereas the first Asantehene (Otumfuo Osei Tutu 1), was enstooled in 1701. Other ethnic tribes were participating in the Slave Trade long before Asanteman.

BIG BIG LIES!!! Why can't you tell the truth for God's sake? Otumfuo never sent Tepahene and his croonies to Columbus Ohio. Tepahene is so corrupt that he lost his self esteem and his mind for money, Promise him a penny and he will lie through his teeth to get it. He was corrupt in his mother's belly before he was born. Shame on all the so called chiefs who came with him. How can old men like you be deceived by a small boy like Tepahene?Shame on all of you especially Atipinhene, you are a disgrace to Otumfuo
