    living poor with all this gold.lack of knowledge.

  • KOMLA KYE 10 years ago

    Don't be judgmental for its not all gold. Part of it is Abyssinia. We simply want to prove we are a kente weaving people just as our neighbors in Ashanti. This shows how we have a common heritage so we must eschew tribalism a ...

  • EQUILIBRIUM 10 years ago

    I bet you don't even know Ewes also celebrate new-born babies, or eat with their hands, or wear clothes, or eat fufu, or mourn their dead, or laugh, or cry, or love Ghana, or have died in the fight for independence while you ...

    Ignorant fools. Haven't you heard of Ayigbe kente? I'm not surprised. You are all holed up in your miserable villages.

    THE 2pm SUN MUST HAVE BURNT YOUR SHIT BRAIN OFF.
    KENTE DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM SUDAN.
    IT ORIGINATED FROM TOGO. FOOL!

  • Real Ghanaian 10 years ago

    Kente did not and originate from Togo you piece of shit. It is not enough using what someone has created, you must appropriate it as well. Kente manufacturing has its root in strip weaving which originated from the North. Yes ...

    We Black's re stupid enough to dress a white man as a chief, decorated him with gold as well as the white woman whereas we re poor and white people even treat as like toilet in every
    endeavour. Simple to say racism

  • Loway 10 years ago

    If Obama can be President of the United States of America than a White person can be Chief in Ghana

  • GHANANI 10 years ago

    Donkey!!! Is Obama black?The mother is a white.You racist whites feel he is black because he is not 100 per cent white.

  • Elliot Ness 10 years ago

    That Chief is without vision for his own people. Any Ghanaian who bastardizes the Chieftaincy by demeaning it before foreigners should be shot! The whites who come to Ghana and other African countries to make a living do it p ...

  • Benewaa 10 years ago

    And who are you to talk as if you've met all Asante people? I'm an Akan from a different subtribe and what you're saying is pure nonsense. Ewes did not invent the kente and it doesn't make sense for them to be claiming it as ...

  • Ghanaman 10 years ago

    Benewaa you are a disgrace to all Akan people and Ghanaians as a whole. Such tribalism should not exist in Ghana. That is not how this country was founded.

  • Benewaa 10 years ago

    Oh please be quiet! What I've said is just and sensible in every possible way. If you have nothing valid to say, simply be quiet and mind your business. I'm guessing you see other tribes dressing as Wolofs, Fulanis, Zulus, or ...

    You are a fool. Tribal bigot.

  • Benewaa 10 years ago

    And I'm not surprised that the Ewes are taking from the Akan tribe and claiming it as their own! Such culture vultures. But it doesn't surprise me at all.

    Kudos to Agotime the ORIGINAL inventors of the local LOOM and Pioneers of Rich Kente weavers. Others are sinking sand. The best Kente comes from the Volta "Ayigbe Kente)

    Who are those shallow minded people trying to distort history? Go to your grandparents and let them teach you that the Ewes were the first to start weaving KETE which you are calling kente.

  • Robert 10 years ago

    Who told you the festival is called Agortime Kente Festival? It is called AGBAMEVORZA.
    By the way why do some people try to trumpet their tribes while that doesn't really matter these days. SOME PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO BE EDUC ...
