    I didn't read this thrash nonsense, but only the headlines. So the author will do himself good if he closes or seals the letter and dumps it in a public toilet.

    There is a good write up. My main concern is the fact that you decide, o all forums to dish the dirt in public. Kennedy Agyapong recently said something to the effect that all parties have dirty linen in their cupbo ...

    The Bantama Stool remains in the gift of the Asantehene. Otumfuo Osei Tutu I created it for the first Amankwatia who served as his Stool Carrier, in recognition of his bravery in battle.

    Amankwatia was among 7 young men wh ...

  • Bernard Asubonteng 7 years ago

    "Otumfuo Kontihene Mensa" you have a good point and almost everything you stated here may be right. But I would want you to read the second part of my letter (see Modernghana.com) if you want to. The general point is, if Bant ...

  • KOFI ELLISON 7 years ago

    You've gone the wrong way,. What you have here serves no purpose, other than an attempt to cast aspersions. You use innuendo and accusations that are unbecoming. Your language is foul.

    Totally uncalled for.

    (I am Kofi E ...

    you're entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to facts. The fact is this current Asantehene is a crook and shouldn't have taken the name--Nana Osei Tutu--because that name evokes special reverence in Asante history. ...

  • Dagomba Boy. Manhattan, New York. 7 years ago

    The Bantama stool was created and handed over to the Dagomba in appreciation for their gallant display of bravery in the fight between the Asantes and the Denkyera people. It was also done to encourage the citizens of the war ...

  • G. K. Berko 7 years ago

    Hmm! I guess that explains the paternal lineage Mr. Asubonteng was referring to.

    While I was reading the Article, I kept asking myself how come the Bantamahene Stool is being determined patrilineally, since Akan Stools ar ...

    Please, check your spellings after you have finished writing...do you mean "insult, intelligence"?

  • EBBY 7 years ago

    When it happened in Kumawu, people didn't care because they don't come from Kumawu. They disparaged the lone voice who fought against this injustice. Now it has happened in Bantama. It may happen to your town next
