Yessooooo, all you said is true, there was never in the history of Ghanaian culture that everybody wears a cocoa sack, but you can see this in an Akan films. Before cocoa sacks came to Ghana, we were already civilized.Most of the Akan films are just another form of concert party. You can't compare them to the old Thursday theaters,Osofo Dazie or
The famous Obra.

The problem with those two guys, Agya Koo and Kwaku Manu is their illiteracy and Akuraase taaman attitudes. Agya Koo is better than both Lilwin and Kwaku Manu but people did not like what he did to his wife andthat empty pride of his rubbed ppeople the wrong way.

Lilwin on the other hand is a complete flop as an Actor. Actually he is not that funny. The only thing working for him is his unusual look especially the eyes that makes him funny.

It is time Akrobeto, Kojo Poku, Shon Paul and the real funny and good Actors and actresses take over Kumawood because a lot of us are getting tired of every movie being made by lilwin.

People will pick on the Kumasi folks regardless of what they do. Those of us who patronize these movies are happy with what we see. Go create something called Ewewood or Gawood or whatever you want to call it and throw up a competetion. Improve upon what Kumawood has done then you can constructively criticize. Since there is no competetion and those of us who watch these movies like what we see, let sleeping dogs lie. Afterall it is to entertain and make us laugh.

Why on earth would I spend two hours watching stupid shit like all the witches eating up people; Kyeiwaa part 17 and Azonto ghost? Seriously? Ewes and Gas are not interested in your stupid movies! I'd rather watch a Nigerian movie: they are not always about juju, witchcraft, wickedness and all the stupidity and uncouthness those so-called kumawood movies portray! You people can continue displaying your stupidity and backward thinking through your movies and continue to laugh at your own stupidity! Funny people!

This is not an issue of we and them. The Kumawood Directors are creating a very primitive image of our existence as Ghanaians. Imagine the market they would have if they added more professional touch to their movies. I somehow also share your anger because some people just use any issue about Kumasi to denigrate Asantes and that is very bad. But in this instance, I agree the Kumawood could do better.

If care is not taken,this "akan"thing which is being promoted in the movie industry and the FM stations in Accra clandestinely by the Ashantis despite the presence of a clearly defined national language, apart from lowering standards, will one day create a tribal crises between the Gas(WHOSE LANGUAGE IS BEING UNDERMINED IN THEIR OWN REGION AGAINST THE STATUS QUO)and the Ashanti perpetrators

First of all, the writer should learn to write correctly and spell names properly. The proper spelling of Kofi Adu (not Edu) is AGYA koo not EGYA. Some of our fellow Ghanains have adopted the wrong spelling and pronunciation bequeathed by white men who could not properly spell our names. Thus instead of Asirifi, we have Essilfie; instead of Kwasi we Kwesi. Instead of Akwei we have Acquaye; instead of Asamoa we have Essamuah, and so on.

Some fools still persist in following the wrong path left by the white men.

Thus blindfolded by the departed white men, and needing to faithfully adopt whatever trash was left by the white man as gospel, some people take this further take umbrage at those who refuse to kowtow to the perfidy left by the white man. Asantefuo in particular refuse to be part of this cultural perfidy, and rather insist on promoting their own. The Kumase movie industry is part of the cultural opposition to trashy white imposition on the rest of our people. We should applaud Kumasi movie producers instead of promoting the silly pimping of useless story lines abetted by the use of American ghetto culture in the so-called English movies.

The entire portfolio of the English movies produced in Ghana revolve around adultery; armed robbery; and the like. having exhausted such titles, the Ghana movie industry is dead. Hence no movies are forthcoming. study from the Kumasi producers. And you will learn something.

We actually don,t care much about their 2 by 4 English movies,coupled with their profane nonsense as someone rightly said a few months ago. Let them take their advice and shove it. The name is kumawood and not Ghanawood so why most of these people give a damn.Let them continue to Watch the Nigerian movies for all we care.

Please attack the issues raised and not the messenger. I am also an Asante but I'm not sure Kumawood is the product of Asantes. Let us all he objective and criticize them especially when the criticisms are genuine.

Well this is a nice piece of work. nobody here is dissing kumawood. what is clear is that even though some of their movies are nice stories, much work is not put into it to make it the best. movies should not always b comedy. lil win, agya koo and manu are soo over used that watching their movies are now getting boring as they always do the same thing regardless the movie. in a nutshell directors should put their best into these nice stories so as to make it the best of all. there is a brighter future for kumawood if directors and producers listen to critiques. All the best.
