I AM SICK AND TIRED OF CHIEFS/KINGS/ODIKRO/CHIEFTAINCY MATTERS. WHAT GOOD HAVE YOU FOLKS SERVED GHANA SINCE INDEPENDENCE ?

YOU ARE HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEMS GHANA IS CURRENTLY FACING. YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM IS ALSO SUSPECT.

GHANA HAS BECOME CORRUPT AND YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PLAYING A BIG PART OF THAT OUTCOME.

Rockson, the queen mother and yourself, who do you think has the right to select a candidate for the vacant post?

4 YEAR OLD OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT CALL YOURSELF, YOUR NAME SHOWS THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU ARE. IF YOU DON'T CARE THERE ARE MANY THAT CARES OK. KUMAWU IS PART OF GHANA AND WITHOUT IT GHANA IS NOT COMPLETE. IF YOU CARE FOR GHANA THEN YOU WILL CARE FOR KUMAWU, FOR CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

Rockson Adofo,aka John Fosu, be it known to you and all those that care about TRUTH, that the "actual originators of the Kumawu Paramountcy" are THE APEMSO'S, present day Nananom Yaadwaasefo), AKYEA KWAFFO NANANOM.
The Ananangya/Odumasefo) are from Essumja. Take this to your elders and dare them to dispute this and I will respond accordingly with the whole history.
By the way, what contribution have you made in your lifetime to benefit Kumawuman, apart from spewing all these fabricated stories? Enough of your disrespectfulness towards our elders and leaders. Get a life because at the end of the day, Nana Serwaah Amponsaah's nominee will be confirmed as tradition demands.

Omanbapa, there have been many kumawuhene from ananangya or abediakyere. Either way queen picks. Some time back kontrihene and akwamuhene had final say. The main thing was being aduana. Adofo is being selective with the facts

THE Ananangya/Odumase's imposed themselves over The Apemso's by calculated barbaric act which rendered them acursed, now partially ratified with "PAPA (GOODNESS) NANTWIE". The adage goes,"mframa de huuhuu fa adie a onnya" and also" yenetena obi sere so na yensum no". When Adofoahyee and his followers escaped the wrath of Nana Anwoma of Abira, it was The Apemsohene who gave them refuge and later settled them. Before their arrival, Tha Apemso's had welcomed The Adomakopim's and later The Akwamu's into their fold and living conditions was nothing short of peace and tranquility.

Since record keeping started, compare the number of years the Ananagya/Odumasi's have occupied the stool; Barima Kwabena Kodua of Ananagya- 1922-1925 (3yrs) and was destooled;
Barima Kwame Afram from Ankaase reigned from 1895-1917 (22yrs), destooled and reinstated from 1925-1944 (19 more years)
Barima Seth Koduah of Ananangya: 1944-1949 (5yrs) and was destooled.
Barima Otuo Acheampong of Ankaase
: 1950-1973 (23 yrs) and died on the stool
Barima Asumadu-SakyiII of Ankaase: 1973-2007 (34yrs) and died on the stool.
You do the math and reflect; which royalty are more acceptable by the gods and the people of the land?

In the demise of the paramount king, Krontihene becomes the interim commander-in-chief until a successor is nominated by the queen and presented to Gyaasehene who in turn presents him the the kingmakers comprising of Krontihene, Akwamuhene and Bodomasehene for vetting. If nothing abominable is found, they officially notify Yaadwaasehene who will also do whatever and beg his ancestors to accept the nominee.

Joe Fry (Aduanahene) plays no major role different from any other family member in the process. He and his cronies have taken the Kumawuman HOSTAGE far too long with their litigations which he has craftily turned into a goldmine. Since YATEASEM era, what meaningful contribution have they made to better the lives of the citizenry? ZERO!!! Time that could have been used to work is being used to travel back and forth to courthouses. The little money which could have helped an orphan, the widow, the sick and the frail has been lining the pockets of lawyers. From where will the occupant of the stool find peace of mind to exercice his duties as a leader and servant to his subjects? The end result is DIVISION, ANARCHY, HATRED. AND ABSOLUTE POVERTY. When two elephants fight in the forest, the trees and bushes suffer. All we are saying is : GIVE PEACE A CHANCE; ENOUGH OF THE LITIGATIONS. Do this if you profess that you have love for your community and want the people to prosper. KUMAWU WILL RISE AGAIN. KUMAWUMAN NKWASO!!! Not just any Aduana, but One endowed with wisdom, entegrity and vision.

There is a historic part that seem to be thrown out , hence this confusion. The AKWAMU's have the key to the chieftancy dispute at KUMAWU as the true head and fathers of KUMAWU, ESUMAJA, AGOGO, NSUTA, ADUM and the other ADUANA clans and stools. KUMAWU and ESUMAJA are direct relatives. In fcat, KUMAWU is the nephew of ESUMAJA as after OBIRI YEBOAH had been captured and killed, the royals who were attacked were stranded beyond the river/lake and felt darkened (NSU and ESU) AGYA across the lake and in the dark. It was from there that some of the royals proceeded to KUMAWU. So you are right, but still the same family. In fact, any ADUANA royal can ascend any ADUANA throne.

It has become very fashionable for Adofo Rockson who is domiciled outside the country to always complain and lament about chieftaincy issues in the Kumawu area more than the people living there. Are there no opinion leaders in Kumawu who are also concern about the Queenmother's mishandling of affairs? If such people really exist and the problems you enumerated are the true picture on the ground but not a ploy to cause disaffection towards the Queenmother, then the best thing to do is to consult with those opinion leaders on how best to influence the Queenmother to amend herways for things to be done in the right way. Sitting in abroad and occasionally writing articles about what you perceive as a chieftaincy dispute will not solve any problem.

And I quote:

"..In order not to cruise for bruising, all intended resorts to special or personal relationships, be they sexual or whatever, must be eschewed by Asantehene. People will not take it kindly to any verdict perceived to hinge on special relationship to whomever, as the once nonsensical "apae" verdict denoted."

And I ask:

Has John Fosu, the notorious 'Kumawu Krakye', come out of hibernation?

Are we now seeing the real John Fosu or Fosu John?

What kind of propaganda is this? Let the kingmakers do their job and stop this nonsense. If it is the duty of the queen mother to name the chief, so be it. That is her right
