  Samuel, why are you making a parody of the Holy Scriptures? These adulterations were probably based on the book of Isaiah or on the book of Revelation, and I doubt that they are funny. I pray that you'll develop a healthy fear of the Lord Jesus Christ, for He alone has your life and welfare in His hands. Amen.

  Yeah, your imagination has run riot and you are in delirious tremens with high fever. Dont ape the holy scriptures in your narcicissit style.

  Dyanmo, judge not what great men write for your understanding is shallow. The man has deep thoughts behind this write up. If it is way beyond your scope of knowledge leave it be and for ever hold your peace. What the man wrote speaks to my heart and I could never come up with such deep thoughts and insight. He is not here to celebrate your tribe. Dear life does not evolve around only your tribe. You may force yourself on my people but that does not make you their leader. Live, prance about and gloat all you want in your delusions. You will soon drown in your own ignorance and bliss then you will blame it on everybody else. By the way, what makes you think you can teach the teacher at a point when the man is so spiritually charged and elevated to a whole new level? No one has to be tolerant if Nkrumah’s Ghana will ever be restored to its past glory. Why take offense if you are not the target here? Look away and bury your head in shame, party poopper. Keep on walking and don’t you look back or you make a nuisance of yourself as though that is all you are capable of.

  Reviving and restoring the message of UNITY by Kumrahn (the Great and Noble African),ultimately,is interesting for the light it throws on a large and representative view of the Disunity amongst us as a Race.
  
  Kumrahn's inability to win the UNITY battle,as Sarfo portrays,was compounded by many factors...."all pointing to the hypocrisy,greed and wickedness of some of our own tribal priests"....a knife has been placed into the system by those that opposed Kumrahn'
  
  In sum,I think Sarfo takes a hard look at African society as it is and questions What It Was,...What It Ought To Have Been....and prays that the Gods and Ancestors restore the message of UNITY back to us.
  
  This remains,to this day, the unfinished business of Dr. Kumrahn

  Are you still in the enigmatic world? You need to understand who the real Jesus Christ is rather than ignorantly trying to point hands.

  No pure breed of Asante Mampong will dabble in such a convoluted and labyrinth write up. The signature tune of this piece is definitely a trokosi style. Dr. Adjei Safo, your real father must be a trokosi.

  Once upon a time some people were put in an Enclosure and were told that it was the place of harmony specially designed for "them". One of them, Encloman, goes out and never returns. He meets with a man who never has been in the enclosure.
  The man, Freeman, asks: Where are you from?
  Encloman: I was in the Enclosure, we were told we were the Chosen, and we were the best.
  Freeman: So why did you come out?
  Encloman: Out of curiosity, to see how you people are doing.
  Freeman: So how do you compare to your Enclosure?
  Encloman: A big difference! We are blind there but we feel we see better than anybody out there and even have foresight.
  Freeman: Then will you go and tell them your experience?
  Encloman: No, they will not listen.
  Freeman:Why, you were there and have come out. So they will believe you.
  Encloman: No, they will no listen to me. They will laugh at me. The people there are happy with their inhibited scope. They are not even aware that their scope is inhibited. They have girded their loins and saddled their wastes with doctrines that make them feel that they are the best and feel content within their limited locus. They see anybody who leaves there as apostate, or backslider.
  And they see anybody who tries to speak another language other than what they perceive to be true as blaspheming.
  Freeman: Well, I will go out of concern.
  Encloman: All the best.
  Freeman arrives in the enclosure, thinking he has true message for the people. He receives warm welcome from them. No sooner had he he started his so called liberation message, which was alien to them, than they started taunting him and praying for him to rather be liberated. Out of frustration, Freeman returns.
  
  Encloman: How did it go?
  Freeman: They think I rather need help
  Encloman: I TOLD YOU SO. They are spiritually indiscernible and mentally static. But they believe that they are rather right.
  Freeman: But....but.... you know...... but you know, there were two or three there who seemed to
  understand that my message was true.
  Encloman: Oh yes, there are few among them who are always objectively hungry for the truth, like me. I think your message reached them. With time, they would come out. When, I cannot tell.
  Many are called, but few are....
  Freeman: Yes, sad reality.

  There is no Power mightier than the truth which the sages say will always set us free. In Unity lies strength. That is the truth. And for Ghana to advance for the better of all, she needs to have her children united in love and mutual respect.
  
  For the likes of you, it seems your fortunes are seen only in our disintegration. That is most sad.
  
  It is time all of us, in spite of our political leanings, began charting the map of our progress together. Followers of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition must join hands with the so-called Nkrumahists to push the Nation forward.
  
  The Akosahs and R. R. Amponsahs of Mampong did see eye to eye for some time, and their offsprings can do so again, now.
  
  Do not attempt to rewrite History to distort the truth. There was a considerable number of eminent Ashanti's including some from Mampong who stuck with Nkrumah to the very end. And you are no more an Ashanti or Akan than they were.
  
  Finally, we have to be smart enough to navigate our folks out of poverty, and it does not need deepening of our distrust of our other fellow Citizens, or engaging them in a bloodbath. Use your gumption to the max, and you can then figure it out!
  
  Long live Ghana!!!

  The spirit of Unity is crying out to high heavens for Ghanaians to hear and listen.The extraordinary vision of Nkrumah on the need for tribal cohesion and unity must have dawned on you that the root cause of our present predicament is because we are divided and fighting each other and have therefore parted from this laudable idea of unity.
  
  I hope you will read what Nkrumah has written on unity and his vision though I understand that every Ghanaian scholar of worth must have read Nkrumah's books.Intellectuals on the African continent will tell you more about the vision of that man than Ghanaians could do.
  
  Lets hear about this vision from time to time.Its a great parable inspired by a great man.
