When did the Canadian government issue an arrest warrant for Asantehene?. Why do you hate people who haven't done anything to you. If you hate Ashantis, why do you even bother to read this story? You are indeed a fool just as your name suggests.

This story has been around long enough for the failed chief to respond. And he is yet to do so.

the sub-chiefs are live in the past! If the House of Chiefs say they recognise him is it the sub-chiefs who will have the law on their side? There is a law governing them and their institution. They should read it1

Let's see if Daaasebre and his Kontihene who does not accept the authority, of Otumfour will go. I hope the Asantehene will be bold on this matter.

Asantehene has no locus in New Juaben paramouncy. Do you think this is mampong hene or who. He can't do anything. Perhaps it could just be being a peacemaker but he has no power or what so ever to determine the true king of New Juaben. Infact the Juaben stool does not owe any form of allegiance to him and the golden stool Check history. Do you the reason why they people are found there. They had to buy the land from Okyenmanhene Ofori Panin to stay there. And it was because to fighting. So you want to tell me that becuase the Kwahu's moved to the Mountains because of fighting they owe allegiance to the Asantes. There are not. Infact in History we known for our families like oyoko, bretuo not a kingdom called Asante. Asante was created justt to fight the Denkyira's and nothing more. Infact there had been great kingdoms like Akwamu'S led by Ansasesresreku. So please stop this Asante thing and let the man enjoy his manhene. The sub chiefs are just zombie who doesn't know their history. I pity them. These are called chiefs. Check this:That city of New Dwaben or Koforidua (Kofi Ofiri Dua) was created by the people of Asante Dwaben because of the following circumstances?
a. On their return from the Akatamanso War Dwabenhene Nana Kwasi Boateng was accused of keeping a large sum of gold dust that the enemies had captured with the stool. After Nana Kwasi Boateng had denied knowledge of the gold dust, the Asantehene Nana Osei Yaw Akoto became suspicious about the integrity of the Dwabenhene and could not trust him any longer.
b. The second incident was that a native of Kubease called Asumin mistakenly saw one of Nana Kwasi Boateng's wives naked whilst taken her bath. The Dwabenhene asked for Asumin but he bolted away to seek refuge in Kumase. After making several requests for Asumin, the Dwabenhene was made to promise that he would not kill the culprit and so the Asantehene Nana Osei Yaw Akoto handed Asumin over to him but Nana Kwasi Boateng did not keep his promise and killed Asumin. The Asantehene was furious and so he subsequently waged war at Dwaben. Dwaben lost the war and so the entire population left and bought a piece of land from Okyehene Ofori Panin in the Akyem area and named it Kofi Ofori Dua or New Dwaben.

That during the reign of Asantehene Nana Osei Kwame Asibe Bonsu (1800-1824) the Asante Kingdom covered an area bigger than the present day Ghana?

That Asante was not created as a matter of tribe but rather as a matter of necessity, to form a formidable force to fight Denkyira, hence "Osa-nti" meaning because of War. The original word was Osa-Nti-fo.

This Asantehene gets himself involved in all sorts of controversies and scandals. He has learnt nothing from Nana Prempeh and Opoku Ware before him. How long are we going to tolerate him for his erratic behaviour.

FOR THE SAKE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE SKY ABOVE WHY ON EARTH DID THE ASANTEHENE NOT INTERVENE IN THIS SCUFFLE SINCE 2012 TILL NOW THAT OTI BOATENG HAS ACCORDING TO TRADITION BEEN OFFICIALLY DESTOOLED?
HONESTLY SPEAKING, AND ACCORDING TO AKAN CUSTOM, THOUGH THOSE 10 AGGRIEVED CHIEFS DID NOT ENSTOOL OTI BOATENG (AS BEING SPECULATED BY SOME READERS), YET THEY (THE SUB-CHIEFS) HAVE POWER TO DESTOOL HIM WITH CHARGES.
FURTHERMORE, THIS IS NEVER A POLICE CASE; I DONT THINK THE 10 CHIEFS DID CAUSE ANY RIOTS DURING THEIR ACTION BUT ONLY PERFORMED A TRADITION TOWARDS DESTOOLMENT OF A CHIEF SO THE POLICE DONT COME IN AT ALL.
SIMILARLY, IF OTI BOATENG WAS NOT ONLY BLUFFING, HE SHOULD ALSO HAVE INVOKED THE "NTAMKESE" AND THAT WOULD BE WHEN THE ASANTEHENE WOULD HAVE COME IN TO DETERMINE THE CASE. MAYBE THROUGH IGNORANCE HE (OTI BOATENG) DID NOT INVOKE THE "NTAMKESE" IN RETURN AS REQUIRED BY HIS POSITION AS THE OMANHENE.
THE EASTERN REGIONAL HOUSE OF CHIEFS (WHOSE PRESIDENT IS UNFORTUNATELY OTI BOATENG) IS AN "INSTITUTION" OR A "CLUB" SO SAYING IT RECOGNIZES OTI BOATENG UNDER THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE IS NOT STRANGE BUT IS VOID AND OF NO EFFECT. WHERE WAS THE EASTERN REGIONAL HOUSE OF CHIEFS WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW? WHERE WAS THE EASTERN REGIONAL HOUSE OF CHIEFS WHEN OTI BOATENG PURPORTEDLY DESTOOLED THEM, OVER A YEAR NOW?
I HOPE READERS WILL NOT SIMPLY OR OUTRIGHT CONDEMN THE 10 SUB-CHIEFS (AS SOME READERS HAVE STARTED DOING). THE 10 CHIEFS HAVE A VERY STRONG CASE. THIS IS MY OPINION GUARDED BY MY 10 YEARS CONTINUOUS LIVING AT AN "AHENFIE" IN GHANA!!!!!!!!

Onipaba, Are you alright? Who told you he is not liked by ths very people he sworn alligiance to? Do you know you bastards are doing great disservice to yourself. You guys are fighting a loosing battle, once you are not king makers which I believe you will never be, no matter what you do you can never the the great king of New Juaben down. From hence, I will call you disgruntled chiefs the depearate 'gang of ten'. May the lord have mercy on you.

The Juabens though are Asantes by lineage historically.The question these local chiefs ought to have wisely considered was,wherether the Asantehene can rule over Oti Boateng.Oti Boateng ia as well a paramount chief in his own capacity.Unlike these weak minded and confused chiefs such as the Woraworahehe ,who stupidly thinks Asante power is supreme and that Asantehene owns Ghana .The New Juaben is recognized by the government of Ghana and National House of Chiefs.How limited are the thoughts of these egoistic rulers. Oti Boateng will stay in the palace.Ntam kesei as these chiefs claims is a thing of the past and a narrow way of thinking besides has no has base.

Please, you are not the only Asante on this platform so please sometimes let use discuss issues dispassionately. First you should no Asante is not a tribe but just amalgamation of families (Oyoko,bretuo, Aduaan(Akwamu), Asakyiri and all the other well known families of Akans. Infact Asante was just formed just to fight against Denkyira dominance. So please. If you care to know the Kumasi Asafo hene is known as Akwamuhene because there were the Akwamus that came with osei Tutu to organise his armies and the Anumfo)(judges) of now Adum. Even Bantoma has Akwamu"s. So for the fact that these people were Aduanas and Akwamu"s they still owe allegiance to Akwamufie because that is where their roots are. These New Juaben people though hail from juaben are not part of the Asante Kingdom because of the circumstance leading to their current settlement. Infact this is paramouncy of the area, in my memory sets my right in Asante it is only one paramouncy which is otumfo). let me also inform you that the Asikawhene who is a relation of Asantehene is now the Nifahene of Akyem Abuakwa Paramouncy. Does it mean Asikwahene owes allegiance to Asantehene because nana Antwiwaa was an Oyoko and as their name imply Asi ha KWA. Now check history and see the circumstances leading to their settlement in koforidua.
That it was Dwabenhene Nana Akwasi Boateng and Kontanasehene Nana Antwi Panin who fought to recapture the Golden Stool when it was captured for the first time by the enemies at the battle of Akatamanso? In their effort to recapture the Golden Stool, Nana Antwi Panin, the Kontanasehene, received thirty nine bullet wounds but he survived the ordeal and so that earned him and his subsequent successors the title "Ogyeaboo", one who receives bullets.

That city of New Dwaben or Koforidua (Kofi Ofiri Dua) was created by the people of Asante Dwaben because of the following circumstances?
a. On their return from the Akatamanso War Dwabenhene Nana Kwasi Boateng was accused of keeping a large sum of gold dust that the enemies had captured with the stool. After Nana Kwasi Boateng had denied knowledge of the gold dust, the Asantehene Nana Osei Yaw Akoto became suspicious about the integrity of the Dwabenhene and could not trust him any longer.
b. The second incident was that a native of Kubease called Asumin mistakenly saw one of Nana Kwasi Boateng's wives naked whilst taken her bath. The Dwabenhene asked for Asumin but he bolted away to seek refuge in Kumase. After making several requests for Asumin, the Dwabenhene was made to promise that he would not kill the culprit and so the Asantehene Nana Osei Yaw Akoto handed Asumin over to him but Nana Kwasi Boateng did not keep his promise and killed Asumin. The Asantehene was furious and so he subsequently waged war at Dwaben. Dwaben lost the war and so the entire population left and bought a piece of land from Okyehene Ofori Panin in the Akyem area and named it Kofi Ofori Dua or New Dwaben.

Meanwhile during this fight it was this Juaben hene that fought along with Kuntunase hene to recapture the golden stool when if was taken by the Gas at the Akatamanso war.Do you think this circumstance will make them owe allegiance to Asante hene. I pity you. Infact a lot of attrocities had been done on Juabens because of their support for the Asantehene. Do you know most of these people were Tena. But that family was extinguished by Otumfo) because a tena lady hit him. Do you know hear of Tena Family instead it had been forced into Bretuo. Asantehene had no locus in New Juaben. Even when the Asantehene Agyeman prempeh was brought from Sychelles Island, check history if any New Jauaben in 1935 went to swear any oath of allegiance to the golden stool among about well known 85 chiefs from Asante to BA.

ASANTES ARE PROUD OF WHAT THEIR ANCESTORS DID IN FOUNDING THE ASANTE KINGDOM. NANA OSEI TUTU 1 AND NANA OPOKU OWARE 1, THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE ASANTE KINGDOM UNITED THE PEOPLE IN THE 18TH CENTURY AND THIS UNITY HAS CONTINUED TO THIS DAY. ASANTES ARE PROUD OF THEIR UNITY AND CULTURE. WHERE EVER THEY LIVE, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, ASANTES WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF THEIR ASANTE KINGDOM. ASANTES RESPECT ALL THE OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. AT THE ASANTEHENE'S PALACE (MANHYIA) THE LEADERS OF THE OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS ARE REPRESENTED. ASANTES RESPECT THEIR ASANTEHENES BECAUSE THEY COME THE FAMILY OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF ASANTE KINGDOM, NANA OSEI TUTU 1 & NANA OPOKU OWARE, AND BECAUSE THEY SIT ON THE GOLDEN STOOL. ASHANTI REGION IS THE ONLY REGION NAMED AFTER THE ETHNIC GROUP. AND ASANTES ARE PROUD OF THIS. IT IS SAID THAT THE SWEETEST SOUND TO ANYONE'S EARS IS THE SOUND OF HER NAME. AND THIS IS TRUE FOR ASANTES. THE SOUND OF THE WORD "ASANTE" FILLS ASANTES WITH JOY. ASANTES LOVE THEIR ASANTE/TWI LANGUAGE. ASHANTI REGION IS THE ONLY REGION WHERE ALL THE CHIEFS ARE UNDER ONE KING. A REGION WITH ONE ETHNIC LANGUAGE(ASANTE/TWI) IS ASHANTI REGION. WHICH PEOPLE WILL NOT BE PROUD OF ALL THE ABOVE?
