This chief is always tribal solipsistic. Quite divisive, he is. Tribalism = racism.

Every tribe still has their lands and on their Land; their traditional rulers, celebrate their festivals, practice their customs etc, so which tribe did they destroyed.

Just like the Otumfuo, your knowledge of history is very limited. Whose royal was exiled to the Seychelles? Whose artifacts were taken from them to Britain? Yet you you sheepishly want to thrash other tribes in the country. We're all one people, and every tribe must be proud of itself. But pride doesn't call for spitting of ignorance. You can't expect harmony among the people of Ghana when you and any other persons, regardless of which region ot=r tribe they may hail from, keep uttering sound bites that only point to supremacy over others. All the regions of Ghana are equal, and all the tribes of Ghana are equal; and all should strive to have respect for each other. Kingdoms in Ghana were long gone since the colonial times. Any claim to having a kingdom or kingdoms in Ghana is nothing but lunacy and wishful thinking.

The same way the history of Ghana cannot be mentioned without Bono. Asante make boast of war, Bonos make boast of intellectual properties of Akan culture and traditions.

Do you remember Tegor during Kuffour's time. Advise your so called chief/king to desist from drug peddling. That greedy chief who want to grab every land in Asante.

Do we have a kingdom in a republic dimwit. How can you so called literate not know the difference between a monarchy and republic. Stop fooling we are in the era of info and Tech okay. The purpose of "asa nti" was to create an Akan hegemony not to Lord over people for personal gains and belittle others because they are not part of your so called kingdom.

Nana, please, NO INTIMIDATIONS. Asante was the last kingdom before Ghana's Independence. All akans rallied together from the onset to do away with Akwasi Bronin. But because of the way other ethnic groups were disregarded and treated in Kumasi, they broke away. For example, Attebubu broke away from the Asante Confederacy and went under the Union Jack and Nkoranza hoisted the British flag by 1986 or so. Asante was disintegrating from within.
When the obronin attacked, blood is thicker water; those who have gone away came back to give underground support to Asante. But the suban is still rife.
Why is the Otumfor creating Amanhene in the Bono and Ahafo regions but not in Asante Region where he is the Lord? Nana Addo (working to do away with the legacy of Nkrumah) has divided the Region for you, breaking one region into three, and now you can enter.
Ghanaians, let us continue to live united and in peace. Unitary government as opposed to federation has worked for Ghana. Nigeria's Zik didn't take the Osagyefo's advice, they took federation and had not known peace ever since. Always, they are sects that want to break away to form their own governments.
If any other king or chief speaks out, we see what we see.
I don't think any government can overlook a region and succeed in ruling Ghana. Every region in Ghana matters.

And to Nana Addo, whether a people voted for you or not, you're the president of Ghana and but a leader of NPP! Please, stop disappointing us. We are Ghanaians, citizens and not spectators but we are watching

What must however be remembered is that most Asantephilic people intentionally become oblivious of the Asantes in the Atlantic Slave kidnapping and business. On top of this, present day Asantephilics tend to forget that the so called Asante Kingdom comprised of many Akan tribes who were cheated by the "Asantes" and were disrespectful and used derogatory statements towards the other Akan tribes who were part of the then Asante Confederacy. It seems the Asantephilics never learn from their mistakes which some cheated Akan tribes are bitter of.

1. Asanteman ought to thank Okomfo Anokye for guiding individual and independent Asante States to form a single and united State. You don't hear them acknowledging this Ewe man.
2. All our national leaders accord Asanteman a pride of place. In return, the rest of us non-Ashantis expect a modicum of humility and respect, in return.
3. Asanteman has been blessed with wealth, which I hope they know has just been granted to them by our Maker. This has given them inordinate pride, flaunting their wealth and falsely believing they are better than the rest of us. We simply watch, but don't care nor envy their possessions. And this our attitude hurts them like mad.
