  MR. ADOFO, WHY DON'T YOU GO TO COURT WITH ALL THESE EVIDENCE TO SEEK REDRESS? AS A GOOD CITIZEN OF KUMAWU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE PARAMOUNT CHIEF BEFORE YOU CAN BRING DEVELOPMENT TO YOUR BELOVED TOWN. USE YOUR ENERGY, WISDOM, TIME, AND RESOURCES FOR SOMETHING BENEFICIAL AND STOP ALL THESE FOOLISHNESS. I HAVE WATCHED THE ALLEDGED TAPE ON YOUTUBE AND DIDN'T SEE ANY WRONGDOING OF THE ASANTEHENE. I SUGGEST YOU WATCH IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL SEE HOW THOSE CHIEF OPPOSING THE QUEENMOTHER DISGRACED THEMSELVES WITH ALL FORMS OF STUPIDITY. PLEASE STOP DISTURBING US WITH THESE FOOLISHNESS, MASTER COURAGE, GO TO GHANA AND KUMAWU TO BE PRECISED AND FIGHT YOUR CAUSE. GHANAWEB AUDIENCE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BULLSHIT. (AM NOT FROM KUMAWU. AM JUST PISSED)

  You should not be so ignorant about an issue but make a comment. There is lot of truth in what Rockson is saying so please keep quiet and allow him to keep those who are interested informed. If you are not from Kumawu why are you bothered about his comments? There are other articles by different authors so please read those. Thanks

  Mr. Adofo Rockson, as a "LOST CITIZEN" of Kumawu (the last time l visited there was in 1983), l want to commend you for your presentation of facts about the damaging activities of the so-called queen mother of Kumawu. Keep the "FIRE" burning on her and the Asantehene until they repent from their selfishness. You do not need to go to court for a redress because as long as judge Atugubah and his cohorts are in the helm of affairs, there is no way you will win your case against the Asantehene and the Mahama government. I think the facts that you are presenting to the reading public can do more than going to court.

  Evidently, you do not know what you are talking about. How can anyone get justice in a corrupt Asanteman council whose head is rumoured to be known crook?

  Aduanaba Akyiaw, please let us have more of your insightful expositions of Asante history. I wish the editor will spare us and no longer publish the rants of this confused rockson adofo lunatic. He does not speak for God and his misdirected invocation of the Almighty in NPP and Kumawu affairs will surely come back to haunt his poor soul.

  Truely Nana Fekan started the Ataala Finam war and was killed by a leper who was hidden in a corn barn at a place now called Saabuso.
  As Ataala and his people could not prevail the might of Apemso contingent, the leper could not fled with them due to his disability and was hid in a corn barn with a loaded short gun in front of him. The trigger of the gun was tied with a rope which was tied to his short limb. When Nana Fekae was within range, he pulled his body which fired the fatal shot and Nana died instantly. Upon realising the leper hidden in the corn barn, The Apemso contingent set the barn and ablaze which consumed the leper as well.
  Young Tweneboa Kodua Nana Fakae's nephew was in the battlefield with the contingent was enstooled chief to continue the war.
  It was and still is the custom to burry our chiefs with a silk linen called "nsaa". Before they could burry Nana Fekae, a frantic search for "NSAA" was made and to their relief a piece was found in his belongings and was placed on him to complete the burial requirement. People started shouting "YEDE NSAA AGU NO SO", meaning we have placed the linen nsaa on him. That is how the phrase "NSAA GU SO" was corrupted to become SAABUSO. Kumawuhene never eat nor drink whenever he visit Saabuso.
  New chief Nana Tweneboa Kodua continued the battle and drove Ataala and his people beyond the volta and returned home being carried shoulder high through the streets of Apemso and the news of Nana Fakae was broke to the people. The elders sent people to the area to check if proper burial was accorded Nana Fekae and they returned with affirmation NSAA GU SO,
  So you see, Nana Tweneboa Kodua did not go through the normal process of nominating a chief but the need to win the battle superceeded the process and believe it or not, he became legendary in battle and also redeemed Asanteman.
  It will interest readers to know that Barima Tweneboa Kodua was a lone survival child from his mother's woumb; he had other siblings but sadly none of them survived, they died at a young age.

  Aduanaba Akyiaw, STOP twisting history. How many times do I have to correct you that Adomako Pim's were not rulers of Apemso.
  Adomako Pim migrated from Adanse as a private citizen with part of the fitish Tano and was settled by Nana Kofi Siaw, Apemsohene. The originator of Apemso was called Nana Akyea Kwaffo, his descendants are the present day Nananom Yaadwaasefo); affectionately refered to as Baakamfo Siaw nananom.
  Pls don't fall for those lies of Worukye which fell flat in front of Asanteman. Adomako Pim was later made Kontihene of Apemso by Nana Kofi Siaw for his loyalty and dedicated serevice. Nana Adomako Pim rebuked Adofoahyee and his Ananangya/Odumase folks who staged a coup d'tat to overthrow the Apemso Administration that was headed by Nana Aboagye who died of his injuries at a place called Abofrem. They stripped Nana Adomako Pim of the Kontire title.
  It will interest readers to know that it was Nana Adomako Pim who led Adofoahyee and his followers to Nana Kofi Siaw and introduced them as his kinsmen before they were granted a stay at Apemso. The truth of the matter was Adofoahyee and his suppoters left "home" Asumja because he lost the contest for Asumja stool.

  We the citizens of Kumawu will resist all attempts by the queenmother to impose on us any halfcaste. We will never recognise any imposter.
  The police must also act decisively, not to suuport one side and bully the other. For the records we will soon go to court for the queenmother to account for her stewardship since the demise of Barima Asumadu Sakyi. Leave the other chiefs alone.
