Okkk. What's your comments have to do with the subject matter here? I thought you were going to dispute Adofo's allegations with solid proofs to convince onlookers like me. Unfortunately, you rather resorted to insinuations and name-calling. Sounds like you are trying to divert attention from some real issues that you don't want Adofo to bring up. I read a lot about this Kumawu chieftaincy issue here but always it looks like a one way assult on the writer without any corresponding rebuttals from the other side. Honestly, I am sick and tired of Adofo's rantings here but judging from the reactions of many readers, I am inclined to believe that maybe he has a genuine story to tell

The Truth is: Ananangya/Odumase folks are from Essumja who are under CURSE due to their barbaric treason against Apemso Royals. They are sore loosers just as their leader Adofoahyee, who after loosing the contest for the throne of Essumja to Nana Kwaku Gyebi Kankanko after the demise of Nana Tete Kwaforamoah, left Essumja, moving from place to place until they were given protection and settlement at Apemso by Nana Kofi Siaw, APEMSOHENE.
THESE SAME PEOPLE TURNED AROUND AND STABBED THE APEMSO ROYAL IN THE BACK. They killed and maimed the APEMSO ROYALS for demanding funeral paraphenelia they had borrowed from Apemso palace upon the demise of Adofoahyee's mother, Maame Senifontom. These immigrants from Essumja crowned themselves as rulers of Apemso (present Kumawu) and has since been under curse. NO MAJOR DEVELOPMENT has happened under their rule. If you are in doubt, consider the following evets:
Apemso was co-equal with Kwamang, present day Kumasi. The "kum" tree planted by Okomfo Anokye to decide the capital of Asanteman died under the immigrats rule and KUMAWU DETERIORATED EVER SINCE.
Asanteman lost BANDA WAR due to Okotere Fenini who was chosen to lead Asanteman contingent. Okotere Fenini was Kumawuhene and hailed from Madam Faah Kese's family, i.e. ODUMASEFO. The enchanted bull of Asanteman was slaughtered with his own dagger (knife) which led to the defeat of Asanteman. He was destooled and his Odumase folks has since been banned by Asanteman from ever occupying Kumawu paramount stool. Out of sympathy did Barima Otuo Acheampong created "ADUANAHENE" for that group in order to accord them some form of recognition and dignity. Now look at what Joe Fry and his cronies , by way of LITIGATIONS doing to Kumawuman. They have held us hostage with their litigations. If they think they can get away with it, then they better think again.
Ever since the first chief from Ankaase, Barima Kwasi Dabo was destooled, here are the records of the successive chiefs and the number of years on the throne:
Barima Kwasi Adu Asabre (died on the stool)
Barima Kwasi Krapah - 1869-1895 (26YRS)
Barima Kwame Afram - 1895-1917 (22yrs); was destooled
Barima Kwaku Boateng - 1917-1921 (4yrs); was destooled
Barima Kwabena Koduah of Ananangya - 1922-1925 (3yrs); was destooled
Barima Kwame Afram - re-enstooled - 1925-1944 (19 more yrs); again destooled
Barima Seth Kodua of Ananangya - 1944-1949 (5yrs); was destooled
Barima Otuo Acheampong - 1950-1973 (23yrs); died on the stool
Barima Asumadu Sakyi II 1973-2007 (34yrs); died on the stool
BARIMA "DOCTOR" .........2014-
You do the math and tell me if these folks from Essumja who killed The Apemso Royals to crown themselves rulers of Apemso are not cursed. Remember PAPA NANTWIE and its signifigance. Remember it was human sacrifice prior to The British rule in Ghana. Who were being sacrificed and from what family? This is the truth that the whole world need to know; that the pot cannot tell the kettle that it is dark. The immigrants from Essumja's reign was but for a short period until the appointed time. They have drawn the line and for that matter should kiss the paramountcy good-bye. Before Jesus, the people of Isreal were kept under the law to guide them to Christ. When Christ came, at the appointed time, he redeemed the people from the curse of the law (Read Galatians 3 vr 1-....)
We the people are waiting impatiently for the ruling and come what may, we know one thing and one thing only, that DOCTOR YAW SARFO is our BARIMA-TO-BE; YES HE IS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE WHO WILL HEAL OUR WOUNDS. WE SHALL OVERCOME. KUMAWUMAN NKWASO!!!

I'm a little confused here. My history book tells me that the king of Kumawu, Tweneboah Kodua was the one that sacrificed himself to safe Asanteman in the olden days. I know he's revered by all and sundry in the Asanteman kingdom. Is Tweneboah Kodua also from this "cursed" family? Second question: This person who is now seeking to be enthroned as chief of Kumawu. Is he from Apemso royal family or from another family. If he's from another family, how did that family became part of the royal lineage?

The legendry Barima Tweneboa Koduah sacrificed himself to redeem Asanteman, yet he is a descendant of the cursed family from Essumja who stabbed The Apemso royals in the back.
DOCTOR is not from Apemso but Ankaase Royal Family. My point is if The Ananangya/Odumase folks, the third group of immigrants to Apemso can claim royalty after their BARBARIC ACT against The Original royals, then they have no wright to oppose The Ankaase royals irrespective of the time they arrived at Kumawu. The first to arrive at Apemso were The Adomakopims; then followed by The Akwamu's who arrived with their own stool. Adomakopim served Nana Kofi Siaw well and he was honored with The Krontire title of Apemso. They lived in harmony and later arrived these folks from Essumja i.e. The Ananangya/Odumase's. Refer to my responses to Rockson, I mean yourself (John Fosu; Rockson Adofo; NOW Oheneba). I thought you were going to dispute what I wrote, but you chose to continue your line of attack on the Ankaase royals, it is sad indeed.
Kumawuman are grateful for the Ankaase Royals; by their reign did we enjoyed peace and stability. Compare the number of years The Ankaase royals vrs The Ananangya royals reign and decide for yourself.

Thanks for letting the whole world know that Obarima Tweneboah Kodua was an illegitimate occupant of the Kumawu stool. It goes to show your myopic view and intrinsic hatred of the descendants of the great Tweneboah Kodua. Always trying to obfuscate the truth and deligitimize Tweneboah Kodua royals in favour of slaves who are not even Asantes. Your own Adomako Pim/Apemso family is not even recognized as royals by Asantehene. You remember the "nkokohwede3 mienu" prank by Wurukye that was dismissed by Asantehene?
If your adopted Ankaase family is sure of their legitimacy, why will the queen openly admit to offering bribes to the kingmakers to help her install your favoured doctor as the chief of Kumawu? De3 ade3 y3 ne dea no de benkum na egye3. You don't resort to bribery and corruption in order to get what is truly yours. The whole world knows the shenanigans going on. Kumawuman know the truth and you can't hide it.
By the way what makes you think that everyone who disputes your distorted versions of Kumawu history, is another clone of Adofo?

Why are you running away from the fact that your Ananangya/Odumase folks are from Essumja? If your folks are the descendants of Maame Senifontom, the mother to Adofoahyee, Afitemma (Taa Acheampong), Kwasi Fekae, Kofi Akwatia adusei, Faa Kese, and Twabia Sanaa, then they are from Essumja.
The legendary Barima Tweneboa Kodua's contribution to Asanteman is engraved in Asante's soul and run in the very fabric of our existence. He served in his time BUT he is not the originator of Kumawu State. After the Barbaric TREASON by Adofoahyee and his men against THE APEMSO ROYALS, which ushered in the Ananangya/Odumase royalty in Apemso (Kumawu), FOUR (4) chiefs occupied the Kumawu Stool before Barima Tweneboa Kodua; all of them died on the stool. We are all basking in the glory of Barima Tweneboa Kodua as Kumawu citizens because of the pinnacle he placed the citizens. THERE WAS NO DIVISIONS but now Joe Fry and his cronies has tear it down with NAME CALLING, BRANDING AND LITIGATIONS. But that doesn't take away the fact that he is a descendant of Maame Senifontom and therefore trace his roots to Essumja.
Lesson #2: Wurukye is from Adomakopim's family. Apemso's, the present day YAADWAASE and The Adomakopim's are two separate families. The founder of APEMSO STATE was NANA AKYEA KWAFO who died of old age and was succeeded by his brother NANA KOFI SIAW I. It was under Nana Kofi Siaw that Apemso expanded because many immigrants came to swell the population. The first immigrant group that was accepted by Nana Kofi Siaw to Apemso were led by a man called ADOMAKOPIM. The Adomakopim's were from Adanse. Adomakopim was later made KRONTIHENE of Apemso due to his loyalty and service to Nana Siaw.
The second group of immigrants that came to Apemso were from Akwamu. Their leader was called NANA OKOFO DARTE. They arrived at Apemso with their own stool from Akwamu. His descendants are the present Akwamuhene and his family.(Details withheld).
The third group of immigrants were from Essumja led by a man called ADOFOAHYEE. Adofoahyee's mother was called Maame Senifontom. Every person who claims lineage to Barima Tweneboa Kodua CANNOT disassociate himself/herself from Maame Senifontom and for that matter Essumja. This is the group who call themselves the original royals and think everyone else as nonentity BUT that is not so. "SE WOREPE ATIE A, YEKA KYERE WO" Not until they stop branding others, I WILL CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEM, PERIOD! Sometimes The TRUTH HURTS, but need to be told. Irrespective of when and how you arrived, when you ascended the throne, be it by force or link to the Golden Stool, NO ONE CAN CLAIM ABSOLUTE OWNERSHIP TO THE THRONE in lieu of originality. Take this to Kumawuman and let them dispute any of the facts, even to The Ananangya/Odumases'.
The money "sikasa" Kumawuhemaa gave to the kingmakers was not a bribe. "SE WODE AGYAAKWA A, YENNGYAE WO KWA". Do you understand this adage? If you are well versed in Akan customary usage and practice, you will not conclude that it was a bribe. What about all the drinks the contestants presented to The Queen in their bid for nomination and subsequent approval for the paramountcy? Were they bribes to influence her judgment? You guys are throwing everything you can think of to see if one will stick BUT you will fail miserably. The contestants are all royals and the stool theirs to take. Why do they have to present "drinks" to Kumawuhemaa Nana Serwaa Amponsaa?
Give credit where it is due, Can a leopard change its markings? Remember how Peter's speech/tone of voice gave him away as one of the disciples of Jesus? That's how I fish you out anytime you try to fool others; NOT ME.
You and I and every person from Kumawu knows that I hold the key to unlock the TRUE HISTORY of Kumawu so don't make fool of yourself by saying I am presenting distorted versions of Kumawu history. You couldn't even differentiate between The Adomakopims' and The Apemsos'. Take all my versions to your elders and let them dispute even one. Well, TRUTH HURTS but needs to be told. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Like I've said before, we are impatiently waiting for the verdict and the eventual coronation of BARIMA DOCTOR.......... What a joyful day it will be. All who profess LOVE for Kumawuman should join us, we the people to welcome our star of hope who will get us out of the mess created as a result of LITIGATIONS. We shall overcome, sooner very soon. KUMAWUMAN NKWASO!!!!
