A Tug Boat was to arrive in our Yard for drydocking.
She is called "Marineco Ashanti".
I gleefully said this boat has something to do with Ghana, and my colleagues (all Indians) asked why?
I said the ASHANTI is the largest ethnic group in my country GHANA, rich with mineral resources....etc
My colleagues (all Indians) shrugged me off saying, ASHANTI is Indian, and a Hindi word.
What means ASHANTI in Hindi, I asked?
They answered simultaneously:
"WHERE THERE IS NO PEACE"

I READ THIS ARTICLE AND WAS RESTRAINED TO COMMENT FOR SEVERAL REASONS BUT TWO.
1.ADOFO YOU KNOW THAT APART FROM OUR FAMILIES,EVERYBODY,INCLUDING YOU ADOFO HAS A DIVINE RIGHT TO CHOOSE HIS OR HER FRIENDS SO THEREFORE IF THE TWO ARE BUDDIES WHAT IS OUR BEEF?WE COULD HAVE GONE INTO THESE DETAILY BUT THAT WILL BE WASTING PRECIOUS TIME.
2.UNLESS YOU WANT TO DRAW THE TRIBALISM CARD EVEN VOLTA REGION WHICH IS THE ACCLAIMED WORLD BANK OF THE NDC HAS SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES IS THE PROBLEM RELTED TO MAHAMA NOT BEING FRIENDS TO THE TOGBUI'S ETC?THAT ASIDE CHECK FROM HIS HOME TOWN IN BOLE OR PRIOR TO THESE TIMES AND EVEN NOW TIME DO CHECK THE WALLS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE CASTLE AND FLAGSTAFF HOUSE AND YOU DONT NEED SUCH A BRANDING TO GET AN ANSWER.
WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE HAMMERED ON VERY WELL IS WHAT IS THE GOVT DOING WITH OUR TAXES?ARE THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM AS ADVISERS REALLY UP TO THE TASK?
ADOFO LETS US WAIT FOR THE ABUSUAPANIN TO TELL US MORE ON TUESDAY IN PARLIAMENT HOUSE FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WILL BE WAITING BECAUSE FOR ME NDC HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR 5 YEARS AND ALL THIS PERIOD THE PRESIDENT WAS A KEY PLAYER IN THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING OF THE COUNTRY.PRIOR TO 2012 ELECTION WE HEARD FROM THEIR PROPAGANDA TEAM THE ECONOMY WAS ROBUST ETC THEN TWO YEAARS DOWN THE LINE MESSY?DID THEY DOCTOR FIGURES?FOR ME ONE THING IS CERTAIN NDC IS BEREFT OF IDEAS ND I PREDICT GLOOMY TIMES.THAT IS THE ISSUE ADOFO AND THAT INCOMPETENCY HAS AFFECTED D OF SERVICES DELIVERY TO LOCAL GOVT LEVEL THAT IS WHAT WE MUST DISCUSS AND NOT SOMEONE BEING A FRIEND OR NOT AFTER ALL ASANTEHENE IS NOT A CBINET MINISTER.

This is a wicked article. It is true majority of Ashantis vote for NPP but that does not mean Ashantis are to be enemies of NDC or President Mahama. There are quite a lot of Ashantis in NDC who are playing useful roles in the party and government. It is unwise for anybody to expect the Asantehene to adopt the posture of an opposition leader on account of NPP, their preferred party being in opposition.
Time and again, the Asantehene has proved himself a wise man in Ghana’s politics. He has not demonstrated any signs publicly that he is the one controlling his people to vote massively for the NPP. Once elections are over, he works with the one elected by the collective will of all Ghanaians. He has therefore consistently maintained cordial relations with Rawlings, Kufuour, Mills and Mahama because these were the men who have received the collective mandate of Ghanaians under our constitution to be presidents or leaders of this country at one time or the other.
The Asantehene is a good example for all chiefs and all those in non-partisan leadership positions in the country. What is the point in fighting or resisting the president just because the majority of your people did not vote for him? I believe with the cordial relations the much revered Otumfuour has wisely established between himself and Ghana’s successive leaders, he has placed himself in a morally strong position to influence governance issues even better. I believe he is doing this behind the scene.
Let the NPP understand that, it is a useless struggle to oppose the president and show scorn on everything he does just because he denied their preferred candidate from winning the election. Once democracy and 4-yearly elections have been entrenched in our culture, definitely there will be other times when NPP’s candidates will win the presidential elections provided they field the right candidates. It is therefore negative to the NPP in particular and Ghana in general if by losing an election they go into a state of counter-productive depressive desperation as if all their world has ended.

I dont want to insult anyone but sorry to say this article is foolish n stupidity, he should tell me this *how many ashantis r in ndc who deserve an appointment ? *how many ashanti campaign for mahama? *how many ashantis voted for ndc? is it not ashanti region they were beating ndc supporters n burning ndc flags? he should even thanks God mahama has appointed few of as ministers n directors selves, u r confused even kuffour, mahama is closer to him, mahama is not like them who think of tribal but who deserve to be. is this guy in Ghana or in outside? when kuffour was president, how many upper west people where given appointment to any office?, 2 ministers where western, volta non, ga n central few, the rest all was ashanti/akyim. your article show how tribalistic u are, u want mahama to but many ashantis n they sabotage him as we know u. during mills time, Common ndc ashanti chairman went in de box n voted for npp n God revealed his status by letting wind to blow de pepper away for peoples to see, in kumasi. so we know u r tribalhoolic, u can't be trusted only few of u, so go n tell ur peoples until u change ur gear n let some tribes lead ur party, your matter what u say Ghanaians will not trust u

Adofo Rockson has vowed to disrespect Nana Otumfuor. What Adofo should realise is that his day will soon come, and he will regret a lot of foolish behaviour he has shown towards the Asantehene. Today it is a disrespectful write-up against Asantehene and Mahama. Yesterday, it was some partial judgment by the Asantehene in a Kumawu chieftaincy issue.Be careful, Adofo, or else...........

Is NPP now equated to Ashantis? Day in and day out while some level headed NPP members are trying hard to woo other tribes and dispel the perception of an Akan party, people like Addofo Rockson with their dubious agenda are also busily rocking the boat. Who loses when a wedge is driven between the Asantehene and President Mahama? Come to think of it, could the NPP have tolerated President Kuffour being in close friendship with the late Ya Na, the overlord of Dagbon? Defeat for NPP has actaually gotten too much for the like of Addofo to swallow. More may be coming.
