Kofi Awonoor William's death should be Celebrated by all Akans, none Tribalist, and all Fair Minded Ghanaian. For it is said that those who live by the Sword die by the Sword. This was a guy who orchestrated the 1981 Coup that overthrew Liman's Constitutionally elected Government for the sole purpose of taken Political and Economic Hegemony from the Akans, especially the Ashantis. These ungrateful 'ayigbe' bastards, thugs, thieves and tribalist proceeded to kill many Akan and seized many others businesses. The mess Ghana is in now is the result of these ewe fools holding on to power for over 25 years regardless of their incompetence and corruption. May all those who took part in that evil coup go the same way. For evil that men do lives after them. I don't normally drink, however I am making an exception today, going to drink Jack Daniels in Celeberation of the death of an Evil Animal.

OMG! I thought these evil Asshantis only hated Nigerians out of ignorance and jealousy Nigerians' prosperity, but the 'VENOM' being spewed against their fellow citizen Prof Kofi Awonoor, who was murdered by Al-Shebab terrorists in Kenya, was beyond human comprehension. When these evil Asshantis violently deported Nigerians from Ghana during the ACO in the 60s, (and STOLE their properties and shared it amongst themselves), I thought, well the Nigerians faced that (horrible barbaric experience at hands of these WICKED Asshantis), because they are not the native of Ghana. But with the current sort of HATRED, VILIFICATION AND POISONOUS VENOM' from these HORRIBLE Asshantis to their fellow citizens, (then who need and ENEMY, when you are 'UNFORTUNATE' to have Asshantis as your fellow citizens).

He will remembered by all as a great Ewe tribalist who sought to destroy Asantis and Akans as a whole economic power. He hated Akans so much that he came home during Ewes satanic revolution just to destroy Asantis economic power.

Kofi Awonor was true to his word. Akans people businesses were destroyed and seized. Akans businessmen were murdered by Rawlings and his Ewes gangsters for no apparent reasons other than hatred for Akans. Kofi Awonor was one of the architects of the poorization plans Ewes tried to sunject Akans to.

May Kofi Awonor find the souls of innocent people he helped their killings a better place than his. May his sould be restless in the lake of fires. I hope Rawlings and the other gangster will learn a lesson from this and begin to seek real renciliation with all those Ghanaians they hurt during their satanic revolution.

During Kofi Awonor life on earth here, he showed something to Akans that he hated them. Other than that, Akans wouldn't have written all these nasty stuff about him. Is Kofi Awonor first Ewe to die? No! Why are AKANS heaping all insult on his disfigured body?

What do we all learn from this? We must LOVE ALL no matter what. If you have fences to mend, this is the time. People watch you while you have life. Ewe should learn a lesson from this. They must begin to mend fences.

I don't think deer and impalas will cry when a lion, which is the greatest enemy for deer dies. There is no reward in hating people because of their ethnicity. That was what Kofi Awonor did when he was alive. Rawlings, Kojo Tsikata, Tsatsu Tsikata, Kpegah and others are still doing. Akans know very well what Ewes have done against them. Let us all forgive and forget if we see good gestures from the Ewes.

It is now clear, based on the way the Akin mafia is celebrating the death of the reknown statesman, Kofi Awoonor, that the extremist and savage NPP mafia used it's connection within the extremist Al-Shabab group, to murder Prof. Awoonor. One thing is clear, he spend his time in the US to study in New York to the highest level and to serve Ghana within the world community at the UN. He did not spend his time prostituting as Akim Gaymen on Lexington and 125 Street in Harlem and at Fordham Plaza in the Bronx. Professor and stateman, RIP

'Destruction of Akans Program'drawn by Ewes?

Sarpong you are the only sole who has waged war against ewes in this forum as representative of an Ashantis Sadly, when the going got tough for you as an Ashanti warior you have changed tact to your fight soliciting the help of other twi speaking people by tagging ewes as haters of Akans. It is you Sarpong who brought the so-call Awoonors hatred for Akans in this forum which has been swallowed hook, line and sinker by the young ones and the ignorant Akans who patronise this forum as a true statement by you.

I am supprised when you want to attack you failed to show your true colour today, you are now hiding under a new monica not under your usual name as Sarpong. Why are you now hiding and not bold as you have declared in this forum that you are going to fight the fight for Ashantis?

My consolation is that the enlightened Ashatis both home and abroad do not read your trash and are going happily and smoothly with their Ewe counterparts both home and abroad.

The behaviour of people like you is the reason why some of us will be appealling to the government to bring in the law for all media proprietors to acquire the tecnology to sensitise their broadcast and publications so that any media proprietor who flout the law could be sanctioned.

WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING GOOD THINGS ABOUT KOFI AWONOOR? THE MAN WAS STEEP DEEP INTO BLACK ARTS. HE MASTERMINDED THE MURDER OF THE THREE JUDGES & AN ARMY OFFICER TO ENABLE "DZELOKOPE MAFIA" TO SEIZE STATE POWER FOR 19 YEARS. CONDEMNED PRISONERS WERE SACRIFICED REGULARLY TO ENABLE THEM TO KEEP POWER. RAWLINGS WAS HIS STOOGE. HE CHARMED PROF. MILLS AND WAS MAKING APPOINTMENTS WITHOUT HIS CONSENT. MAHAMA SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN HE ATTENDS HIS FUNERAL. HE SHOULD WASH HIS HANDS THROUGHLY AFTER GREETING PEOPLE THERE

No Ewe has done wrong. When Kotoka died I cried and my Ga friend, Ayitey said why are crying for an Ewe. I said he is God son and a human being. He turned round and said Ashanti man you don't know what you are doing. "I will NEVER cry for an Ewe because they are Evil, satan's children" he said. But when JJ did the coup and Ewes were picking people from offices and homes never to come back I remembered what Ayitey said. However, I will cry for Awoonor but Ewes must admitted that any killing whether the person is Ashanti or Ga or Nfanti is a sad story.

All these insults from the foot soldiers of n.p.p towards such a well respected and internationally world renowned person such as Awoonor, will not reverse or remake Ghanaians to demand another election to elect your akufo. it is fact that these bitterness and enviness of such tragic event on Awoonor is just a gate way for you npp losers to spew your demise through hatred to even a dead man. Awoonor by God grace has seen a leader in mahama who can actually lead Ghana become president before he left this earth and that's all .

Who knows this guy? Which world? Trokosi world? You see your everlasting hatred, how come you bring Nana Addo's name?

No public viewing? Wobe te wo piika! This man ordered the killings of so many Akans, Fantes etc during the 1979 and 1981 revolutions. He hated Akans with passion and destroyed their businesses. He ordered Akan businessmen/women, Army generals,army officers, judges to be killed!!! Look at the where he ended up being SHOT!!! in Kenya. No public viewing? because people were planning to carry the body to go and burn it! Okyina nso bio!!! The family members can now go and eat his body.

Who will not believe that Nana Akufo Addo's visit to the UK after failing his presidential petition with the Supreme Court and the anticipation of war in Ghana after the verdict might not be the crew of Islamic group Nana Akufo Addo intended to use in Ghana? and failure was to tail the Prof Awoonor? who was the former Council of State chairman of the Republic of Ghana?
