    Adofo Rockson, you really hate the Otumfuo for reasons best known. Much as I agree with you that the period of the ban on funeral activities seems a bit long, the fact cannot also be denied that you are quick in criticising t ...

    If the constitution is the supreme law of the land and we cannot find what the Asantehene is trying to do enshrined in it, why should anybody feel that the writer hates the Asantehene when all he is doing is pointing out the ...

    The sentence on the second line should have ended," for reasons best known to you"

    I don't think hatred is the right word here Nicholas. Dislike would have been more appropriate. I don't understand why chiefs in Ghana are still so powerful. What useful purpose do they serve? The simple answer is none. Chief ...

    Just to remind you that Otumfuo is the king of Ashanti and he has issued an order. If you have a problem with it, the Court of law is at your service,idiot.

  • Kanawu 10 years ago

    Adofo you are 100% right.Some of our modern day chiefs think we are in medieval times.Can somebody answer this question?If Otumfuo summons me to his palace and I refuse to go, can the police arrest me and subsequently arraign ...

    If Otumfuo is mighty then what adjectives would you use to describe the president and God. We have a system, as Ghanaians, by which we elect our leaders. It's called democracy. If we want to be led by chiefs who are not acco ...

    Where are our Parliamentarians? How do we sit down for this action of Otumfuo to hold sway? This is just not right and Manhyia Palace must rethink.

  • k tee 10 years ago

    Adofo, you once again have demonstrated your dislike for Asantes. What did you write when a chief in Brong Ahafo banned a hospital administrator from his domain. What about the Ga state and homowo?
    You have truly shown your ...

    This so called MORON Adofo is sick. He might be, all we know, Asante hater but his agenda will be revealed one day. Who is contacting you to know your hatred views of Asanteman and OTUMFUOR? Put on your own crown made out of ...

    Asantehene is wrong in making such order to infringe on our freedom. I bought an unrefundable ticket to attend funeral in April. Is he going to compensate me? This is ridiculous.He must be advised well.

  • Paha 10 years ago

    This is madness. How can can a king who really think of his people issue such a long ban on funerals. Who should bare any additional cost on already schedule funeral in the month of April. Is he going to pay cost of the freez ...

    The chieftaincy institution needs to reformed to make it compatible with our current insight and appreciation of our time. It is largely a force without much direction, rather dividing us into our small tribal/ethnic groups d ...

  • CONAN 10 years ago

    I think this is absolute nonsense for a power trip chief to ban all funerals because of his anniversary. This is another example of our misplaced priorities that our leaders tend to espouse to show that they are in charge. Al ...

    He is the Asantehene, King of the Ashantis, and not an Overlord. Please use your words carefully.

  • jahlove 10 years ago

    AN IDIOT, SO CALLED ROCKSON ADOFO, IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE IN YOUR STUPID HEAD, YOU WILL NOT GO TO THE EXTENT CASTIGATING OR USING INSINUATING WORDS AGAINST OUR HONOURED KING.

    YOU MAY NOT RESPECT YOUR CHIEF OR YOUR FATHER, I ...
