Mr Ato Dadzie you are talking like a man of integrity and honor so what are you doing among these ndc criminals and idiots, be careful they dont kill you too like they did to president Atta Mills . you should leave these ewe fools and if politics is your game join the npp , ppp or cpp. their shameful and lying behavior is exposed for all the enlightened to see. even your pepeni may be a good man at heart but with these evil goats surrounding him there is no way he can perform or do something good for Ghana . you must all resign all leave the evil ones exposed and in charge so we may burn them when the time comes , long live the republic of Akan

Can this Akyem chief be trusted and taken for his word? Remember his cocaine baron frauster subject of his, Nana Akuffo Addo who wants to be President of Ghana and Commander-In-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces AT ALL COSTS? He should go tell the Marines that he is not involved in Galamsey, and in essence degrading/destroying the environment that he is presiding over as chioef. That is the Akyemman for you - they are fraudulent, litigious, unreliable, untrustworthy and first class crooks, pure and simple!

It is obvious you don't respect your village chief. That's why you can insult such a respected person in our society.

What a liar!He has been secretly leasing and selling the people's lands to foreigners for the almighty dollar.And the Security Services are afraid to investigate him.

Meanwhile,his own people (and others living downstream)continue to drink polluted and toxic water - while he drinks imported water.

This is one the reasons why chieftaincy should be abolished,so that these feudal and useless parasites,would get off their rear-ends and look for a job.

If what okyehene is saying is anything to go by then why did he stand in the middle of the road leading to Kyebi asking the Military to leave his town or knock him with their(Military) car in 2011???????

This is a big problem that must be seriously addressed! The impact by galamsey, on the environment, is simply too important to ignore.

These people! These obscene and unrepentant forerunners of slavery; will even at this day and age, stop at nothing to grab dirty and illegal money at the expense of nationhood , civility and decency. At the moment, there is not much kookofuo so what do they do? Condone with illegal activities everywhere including promoting wanton deforestation, and working with dodgy Chinese people to pollute and destroy their own nations. These are really greedy, corrupt, sad and backward leaders.

That royal committed sacrilege by falsely accusing the Okyenhene who I know had been at the forefront of fighting protect natural resources in his kingdom from reckless exploitation.
Government ought to deploy state institutions to support Okyenhene but Government has not done so sufficiently. Time to help Okyenhene protect Akyem Abuakwa natural resources. Thanks.

The Okyenhen says he's not involved in illegal gold mining in Akyem Abuakwa. Fine. But what is he doing AGAINST THOSE PRACTISING IT?

He says nhe has been discussing with the Ghana state's forces of law and order to try and end it in the sdtate, to no avail. Sad.

But what would an Okyenhene of the past have done? He would have revived the ASAFO groups in his state and charged them with the DUTY of patrolling their lands and preventing these galamsey marauders from ruining trhem.

The Okyeman has an enviable record of organising itself for self-defence along TRADITIONAL LINES. It has the Amantuor Mmiensa, Nifa, Benkum, Oseawuo, Kyidom and Andoten Divisions among others. The Abontendomhen of Kyebi is the one who "forms the armies" in the capital itself, I believe.

My humbkle suggestion to the Etwie or Leopard (Okyenhen) is "Don't wait fore the decaying Ghanaian State to save Okyeman from Galamsey!" Call a special state council meeting to see how each of these traditional divisions can reorganise its Asafo/Kyirem Group. Let them reorganise and conduct "exercises" as they used to do in ancient times.

As soon as the galamsey operators realise that the people are serious, no-one will tell them to run. They will run away themselves.

How can the Okyenhen be sitting at Kyebi and watching MARAUDERS destroy the sacred Birem River and others? Which nation can exist without clean drinking water? Has the Okyenhen ever heard the song: Yen ara asaase ni.... mmongya na Nananom hwie gu nya de too ho maa yen; adu mene wo nso so se yebeyi bi atoa so?"

NOBODY has the right to ask a people to commit collective suicide. If Okyeman does not act quickly -- and under the Okyenhens guidance and lkd=eadesrhip, the state will commit collective suicide. And Amoatia's name will or ever be as dirty as the galamsey mud that is silting up the Birem.

How can the Okyenhen sit unmoved when deep pits that were dug by the galamsey murderers are killing school children.

Nana, yemmfre wo hen kwa!
Opanin kwa!

Call your Chief Drummer and let him recite drum songs to you. You will get the spirit of the ancients back. Even a woman, Nanamn Dokuaa, once led Okyeman to safeguard its lands. How much more you, a man?

Osagyefo is Okyenhene's historical title,like Otumfour to Asantehene,and when Dr.Nkrumah exiled the then Okyenhene Nana Sir Osagyefo Ofori-Atta to the Okyenhene's palace in Adabraka- Accra until his overthrow in 1966.then Nkrumah assumed the title Osagyefo.So wiseman this true fact is not for sale.
