Strong partisanship started in Ghana when Kwame Nkrumah divided the nation into patriots and traitors. Patriots were those who accepted that he should be president for life, practice communism and one party state, and indulge in Leftist anti-Western propaganda using our country's meager resources to challenge centuries' old, well-established Western countries. They even accepted that he should be a prophet and savior of the Blackman around the world, and yet tyrannize his own Black people at home because they have alternative views for the development of their country.

Those who wanted him to concentrate on the needs of the young nation and tone down his rhetoric to our level were called traitors, nation wreckers, and agents of imperialism and CIA agents that should be liquidated and imprisoned dead or alive. Could you believe that the opposition members he was tyrannizing were the very people who started the struggle for our independence? They employed Nkrumah and paid for his ticket from the UK to come and work as a General Secretary of the group, saving him from the tyranny and indignity of joblessness in London. The independence struggle Vanguards were senior civil servants in the Gold Coast. And as their struggle was gaining momentum and scope of the activities widening, they needed someone to work full time for the group; free from official work constrains to further spread the their message to the people.

Under their responsibility and protection, Nkrumah used the platform to become the public face of the group and his popularity soared. This was because, many people in those days saw him as the person, or the only person that was fighting for our independence. So when he secretly learnt from the Governor General's British female secretary, who was later sacked, that the British were preparing to grant us independence, Nkrumah increasingly used unnecessary militant and unorthodox tactics to annoy the Authority - when it was clear that "the wind of change was blowing"- in order to embarrass the group and outfox them. He then used the opportunity to break away from the group, forming his own party and slapping them from behind to take power.

This might explain the strong partisanship between the two groups, and why Nkrumah didn't want the so-called traitors, or more appropriately, the liberation vanguards to ever come to power in his life time. Maybe he was afraid of his own ghost. And despite all what happened, his supporters still want us to believe that he initiated, spearheaded and single handedly fought for our independence, and therefore name every national project after him as if we were in a kingdom.

Well said, Robert Okine.Never expect unrepentant saboteurs to accept the fact that they're peddlers of falsehood. These guys seem to have the mindset of the demented and delutional Okoampa-Ahoofe, a worthless academic who will knowingly and intentionally distort and misrepresent historical facts of Ghana to suit the failures and whims of his fellow saboteurs. These saboteurs are guided by a vision of hypocricy and jealousy.

We have to re-write the history because that is how the British subjugated various groups/people to Kumasihene.

Quite informative. The current Asante Confederacy is certainly not doing well at the moment, and it is my hope that things don't fall apart; that the center is somehow purged so that it can continue to hold. Pax nobiscum.

I have not watched the video but I think the way the kingmakers conducted themselves in public has nothing to do with the illegality of the imposition of an alien and genetically unrelated individual as a chief on Kumawu through bribery and corruption. This sort of shameful practices is the root cause of the numerous tribal conflicts raging accross different parts of Ghana and Africa in general. Our leaders are massively corrupt to the core and willing to kill for pennies. It is a shame that the Asantehene has been able to con all the other Amanhene in Asanteman Council to tow his line in this neferious activities.

Your Apemso people you are talking about was totally decimated by brave people with superior power. These brave people that you call "cursed" gave rise to the great Asante empire that you now consider yourself part of. The great Tweneboah Kodua who gave gave his soul for Asanteman, now you are calling him "cursed". You call your Apemso people royals? Go and tell that to Asantehene. Apemso is not recgnized as part of the Kumawu royals. Their history ended with the demise of Nana Siaw and Adomako Pim era. Their tactics used may be cruel to you but that was the modus operandi of Asante warriors during those days. They were ruthless and at times took no prisoners. A new and stronger "sheriff" came to town and made the place KUMAWU due to their bravery. The whole Asanteman can attest to that. Your hatred of Tweneboah Koduah royal family is what is driving you to side with the aliens in Ankaase. As the saying goes, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They made the place KUM-AWU and desolate due to ancestral curse upon them. Apemso stood toe-to-toe with the then Kwaman (present Kumasi). We enjoyed our peace until the arrival of your sore looser and leader Adofoahyee and his supporters from Assumja, after loosing the contest for Assumja stool. Can you point to one major development that has happened under your cursed Ananangya/Odumase group? Just one.
All developments we had enjoyed happened under The Ankaase royals.
Amuch STRONGER AND WISER SHERIFF IS IN TOWN, so you can kiss the paramountcy good bye forever.
By the way, Adomako Pim was Krontihene of Apemso and NOT from Akyea Kwafo lineage.

Your jealousy of the might of Tweneboah Kodua and his descendants is really killing you. Asanteman is forever grateful except some non entities living in the shadow of history. How dare you label Tweneboah Kodua and his descendants as cursed? If it was in the olden days of Asante kingdom, you could be summoned by otumfour for blasphemy. "Akom k), ato ntwaaho". It's not your fault. I blame the current Asantehene. He doesn't even recognize who Tweneboah Kodua is, let alone his descendants. If you feel that your Apemso people are royals, why didn't your folks present your drinks to the queen mother when she was looking for a chief. Stop killing our ears with this Apemso balony.

You are a cursed group who brought damnation upon yourselves by your treasonable act against The Apemso royals. I am not jealous of Barima Tweneboa Kodua nor his descendants. However, I abhore nation wreckers like you John Fosu/Rockson Adofo who think it is either your way or no way. My point is the kettle cannot tell the pot that it is dark. If history is nothing to consider when it comes to the truth about Apemso, why the references to Barima Tweneboa Kodua? We all are basking in his act of bravery that redeemed Asanteman. What about your cronies who are bent to the destruction of Kumawuman with litigations just to twart the progressive efforts of Ankaase dynasty. For over 40 years have you plotted and thwarted The Ankaase's progressive efforts development so that they will become unpopular in the eyes of the people. We know what the end result will be = Your own damnation. Ankaase dynasty is soliditied and is here to stay. We are moving forward with or without you and your bunch of nation wreckers; you are the cursed group.

What you call "peaceful installation" today may be a recipe for disaster tomorrow. You don't sweep justice under the rug in order to achieve peace. You don't kick the can down the road and let your children face the same demons tomorrow. Asantehene, or for that matter anyone would be delusional to think that this Kumawu chieftaincy issue has been solved with the installation of this chief. Asantehene had the power to bring the feuding royal families together and strike a deal which will appease all sides and bring lasting peace. However, his blind loyalty for one faction at the expense of the others has ignited burning hatred which will simmer for generations to come. He has already given orders to destool all those who are against the installed chief. These are the kingmakers who found Dr Sarfo not suitable for the position. They never approved his nomination but that didn't stop his imposition by the asantehene on Kumawu. As the saying goes, "He who fights and run away, lives to fight another day". This scenerio will definately be played again in the future.

Who cares about your line of action, after more than forty years of litigations from YEATEASEM ERA, what has litigations earned for Kumawuman? Simply put: ABJECT POVERTY.

We are moving forward without the nation wreckers; God on our side we shall succeed. You can choose to be part of the solution or continue to cry over your spilled milk. At the end of the day, We The People care about jobs, infrastructures such as schools, clinics/hospitals, libraries, water, places of convenience, roads etc. More than 40 years of litigations did NOT provide us these, rather the opposite: the existing ones has deteriorated beyond repairs, no jobs, no hope.

We The People choose PEACE AND TRANQUILITY over litigations and divide, hence united behind Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua, Omanhene of Kumawu Traditional area. With God on our side we shall succeed. KUMAWUMAN NKWASO!!!!

The Roots holds THE TRUTH and as we all know, it hurts. When Otumfour suppressed that aspect of the truth when all the elders acknowledged The Apemso's as The ORIGINAL ROYALS AND RULERS OF THE LAND which has metamorphosed as Apemso, Baakamfo, Kumawu, in the initial stages of the case when Wurukye(another conwoman) wanted to twist the history in her family's favor, The Ananangya/Odumase folks and their cronies like John Fosu aka Adofo Rockson hailed Otumfour for his wise decision. This same Rockson Adofo has made reference to that in a few of his writings that Otumfour and Asanteman did not recognize The Apemso's as royals, BUT what Otumfour said was that he is limiting the history from Barima Tweneboa Kodua era.
The Apemso's are silent BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Every person from Kumawu upholds NANANOM YAADWAASEFO' in high esteem as epitome of peace and tranquility. When something is yours, you hate to see its destruction, hence their patience. The roots holds the truth and Nananom Yaadwaasefo', Akyea Kwafo Nananom, Baakamfo Siaw Odiawuo Nananom holds the key to unlock The Truth. KUMAWUMAN NKWASO!!!!

Pls Mr Adofo can you confirm your mother hails from Kumawu. Is it true it's your father who comes from Kumawu? Is it true your mother hails from Juaben? Pls be candid and honest enough to tell me the truth. Did you also say Barima Tweneboa Kodua l is the originator of the Kumawu stool? How come various historians have variously mentioned the Kumawu stool as Kodua ne Okyere? If the Ankaase royals are not fit then can you tell us, of the 25 previous chiefs of Kumawu, how many of them were from Ankaase, Odumase and Ananagya? Is is true Barima Otuo Acheampong was from Ankaase? Is it true Barima Asumadu Sakyi was Ankaase? Is it true Kumawuhemaa Nana Serwaa Ampofoa is from Ankaase? Is it true Dr Yaw Sarfo aka Barima Tweneboa Kodua ll is also from Ankaase? Pls stop embarrassing the people of Kumawu and Asanteman in general. Otumfour is the spirit of Asante so therefore bewarned. Go to Juaben and meddle in their affairs. Lest l forget pls stop making readers think you have any close affinity with Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo because you don't have that link. In effect stop embarrassing Nana Addo with your disrespectful tirade on Otumfour. Asante kotoko!!! Wo kum apem a apem beba.
