UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT WIN THE BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL AND HAS SINCE JOINED THE NEW FAMILY WITH PROF JOHN EVANS FIIFI ATTA MILLS, PROF KOFFI AWUNOR, ALIU MAHAMA AND OUR BELOVED BROTHER KOMLA DUMOR IN '''ASAMANDO''. KING SOLOMON WILL FONDLY BE REMEMBERED WITH HIS LOBBYING FOR PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA(WOH LL SOON JOIN THEM) IN THE ELECTION PETITION. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. MAY HE NOT REINCARNATE TO LOBBY FOR A LOSER TO IMPOSE HIMSELF ON GHANAIANS AND MAY HE NOT BE BORN TO COME AND PRONOUNCE CURSES UPON INNOCENT PEOPLE. THOUGH HE HAS REAPED THE CURSE SEED HE SOWED, HE WILL BE REMEMBERED WHENEVER JOHN MAHAMA AND NDC PARTY NEED ANOTHER KING TO LEAD THEM IN LOBBYING DURING ELECTION PETITION.

May I ask you 'wise' Laryea who the fools are? It is so pathetic how some people come to demonstrate their stupidity on the net just because they have access to a computer.

Whether YOU call/ accept him as king does not change the fact that he is accorded audience with dignitaries across the globe - something neither you, your dad, your chief etc are ever going to get.

It is one thing having something against a person who some people choose to call king. But categorising a whole group as fools is another thing. If you have something against any group be bold and bring it on!!!

If so why are you still in Kumasi or coming in your numbers to populate the region. Asantes must wake up from their slumber. It is NDC agenda to push non Akans to Akan areas like Asante region, Eastern, Brong Ahafo, and nothern part of Central regions as way of increasing Ewe and Northerners votes.

GOOD, YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION. DO YOU KNOW THAT BY STARTING THIS RUMOUR YOU HAVE EARNED FOR YOURSELF A KARMIC DEBT, WHICH WILL TAKE YOU THOUSANDS OF INCARNATIONS TO REDEEM? YOU WILL HAVE TO SEARCH AND FIND OTUMFUO AND BRING HIM TO THE ETERNAL COURT OF JUSTICE AND PROVE YOUR CASE. UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THAT YOU WILL KEEP ON RETURNING TO THIS WORLD TO DO MENIAL JOBS. YOUR EXALTED POSITION NOW WILL BE REDUCED AND YOU WILL LEAD MELANCHOLIC LIVES. TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM THIS, APOLOGIZE. THIS IS AN UNSOLICITED ADVICE, BUT IF YOU ARE WISE YOU WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

Whatever curse you mendaciously claim to know of to have visited upon him could reverse to afflict folks like you.

As a bonafide Ghanaian Citizen he has the right to choose whichever Political leader he can trust to steer the Nation to development.

Even Prempeh II is reported to have made Peace with Nkrumah's CPP until he passed on. Do not tie Ashantis to any particular Political Party. Otumfuor and Manhyia do not owe any Political Party an eternal loyalty.

So, grow up and live like a modern Ghanaian! Leave the King alone if you have nothing good to speak of him.

Asante, Fante, Kwahu, Akyem, Bono, Denkyira, Akwamu etc. are all Akan states. Akan is not a clan! However, Akan have matrilineal clans such as Adako/Oyoko, Bretuo/Tena, Asona, Ekoana, Aduana/Aberade etc. People of the same clan are blood relatives, since they originate from the same great ancestresses. Therefore, for example an Oyoko man from Asante cannot marry an Oyoko woman from Akyem, since they are blood relatives. After all Asante consists of people from different backgrounds. For, example most Asante-Aduanas such as Kumawu, Agogo, Kwaman and most of Asante-Ahafos originate from Akwamu. Likewise some areas of Kumase such as Bantama/Barekese and Adum are all Akwamus just to mention a few. Many Asantes also originate from Denkyira such as Nkawie, the whole Atwima area, Asueyeboa and many other areas. Asante was founded by individual states such as Mampon, Kumase/Kokofu, Dwaben (Juaben), Aduaben, Nsuta, Asumegya/Kumawu etc. to form an union. They did not surrender their independence. As they expaneded they were joint by other states. Asanteman is bigger than Asante region and consists of the whole of Bono-Ahafo region (formerly western-Asante region) with the exception of those reluctant chiefs that illegally broke away namely the New Drobohene, Dormanhene and Takyimanhene. Of states in the Volta region such as Worawora. As well as many areas in the Eastern region and even outside of Ghana. To make it clear for you, for instance the people of the Asona clan of Ejisu and Offinso in Asante and Akyem-Abuakwa are one people. They all stayed together at Adanse, until the Oyoko and Ekoana clan came to power and they then settled at their present locations. Dont you know, what Fante means? It means fa-atsew-fo, i.e. the half that broke away. Don`t you know, what Asante means? It is derived from Asante-esa nti (singular for "because of war"), esa nti fuo (people who came together because of war),war is esa, singular and asa, plural). Don`t you know, that the founding states of Asante used to be under Adanse until Adanse was overthrown by Denkyira? Don`t you know, when Asantes defeated Denkyira Adanse returned to their former place and then joined Asanteman? So what do you mean when you say someone is an Asante by blood? This is absolute nonesense! Being Asante means you owe allegiance to the Golden Stool of Asante to whom the Asantehene himself is only a servant as well. When someone says, he is an Asante by blood, he means he is a royal of the Adako/Oyoko clan. Even the Asiakwahene (Nifahene of Akyem Abuakwa) is the ancestral brother of the Asantehene and therefore an Asante-royal.

My brother, you are an excellent historian. I truly enjoyed your post. However, I disagree with you on the meaning of Asante. Just like the meaning of Fantse/Fante, the meaning of Asante also has to do with the "division" or separation, if you like. The story - from our oral history and songs - is that both groups were fleeing persecution from the Berber invaders who destroyed the ancient Ghana Empire. At some point during this epic, long flight, our ancestors decided to divide into 2 groups to continue their journey away from danger in the desert. So half of the group ("fa" "tsew" - fuo or the half that separated people) became the Fantsefuo. The remaining group ("asa nte" fuo or the end of division people became the Asante. Asante is a reference to the people who remained at the end of the separation or division, just like Fantse/Fante is a reference to the beginning of the separation / division.

Yes, the ancient Ghana empire was the last destination of our ancestors, before migrating to their final destination. The term "Asante" did not exist at that time! As for the Fantes, they left their Asante brethren at Krako, present day Takyiman. Note Takyiman itself is a Fante founded state. The Fante people were led by three great warriors known as Obrumankoma, Odapagya and Oson (the whale, the eagle and the elephant respectively).

Though they now occupy different geographical regions and areas. Until the High Priest, Okomfo Anokye, a settler, at Awukugua(now Akwapem )in the then most powerful Akwamu group(The Okomfo was supposed to have originated from 'NGOTSE' in the Volta Region) somehow managed to unite remnants of some of the Akan groups to form the now called - ASANTE. Nana Bawuah, please also note that there was nothing like Anokye in Akan. In fact, Anokye was the ' adulterated form of 'NGOTSE'( The OKOMFO from NGOTSE) by the Akan speaking groups.

Please, check your facts very well! Mampon,Dwaben (Juaben)etc. were already fully fledged kingdoms before the creation of Asante. How dare you to refer to them as remnants? Nana Obiri Yeboa with the assistance of Okomfo Yamoa, the elder brother of Okomfo Anokye already established a loose confederacy. Do you know, who was the first one to vow to fight Denkyira? It was the Dwabenhene. Do you know, who united the Adako-Oyoko clan, which made them more powerful than any other Akan clan? It was the Nsutahene (uncle of the Asantehene). Kwame Agyei Firempong Anokye Kotowbere (Okomfo Anokye) was the son of an Adanse woman called Dwirawiri who belonged to the royal Asene clan. Don`t you know, Okomfo Anokye was the Asante-Agonahene?

Every schoolchild in Ghana is taught about Okomfo Anokye and the mystical invocation of the golden stool from the skies, leading to the formation of the Asante Empire. You can check F.K. Buah and others whose textbooks are used in schools.

"Every schoolchild in Ghana is taught about Okomfo Anokye and the mystical invocation of the golden stool from the skies, leading to the formation of the Asante Empire. You can check F.K. Buah and others whose textbooks are used in schools."

Please don't use F K Buah's school stories about the golden stool falling from the skies as an intellectual source of Asante history. I didn't believe it then as a child and I don't believe it now. The Asante kingdom is very well organised and I would like to know more about their rich history.
However that 'falling from the sky' golden stool is/was a nice story.

Really we Ghanaians need to learn more about the history of our various tribes and how we all came to be what who we are. Long Live Ghana.

Did you read, what I wrote? I said, that Asante is not a tribe, but an Akan state! By the way the Adako-Baule are Asantes, in fact they are Kumase/Nsuta royals. They broke away during the Adako/Oyoko civil war after the death of Osei Tutu Opemsuo due to a succession dispute. Their leader Nana Abena Pokuaa, who ruled alongside Obiri Yeboa and Osei Tutu as Kwamanhemaa (Kumasehemaa), therefore had to flee to Ivory Coast.

We are sorry to hear that the Asantehene, Otumfour Nana Osei Tutu II is not dead yet. How we wished the rumours were confirmed as true! He is a disgrace to Sikadwa Kofi.

When was it announced that the Asantehene was going on an 'official visit' to South Africa? Official visits are never shrouded in secret; it is well publicized before, during and even after it has happened. We cannot wait until an event happens before we declare it as official. If that were the case, then the Otumfour will definitely die immediately he arrives back from wherever he may be now. The rumours will be confirmed as true when he returne. And how we all wished it was so!

I feel sorry for some of the non-Asantes who are enjoying their wonderful peace of life within the Asante kingdom due to the warmth welcome that has given them by this kind asante people and yet don't show appreciation to the Kind Asante
People.Almost all the tribes of Ghana can be found enjoying their lifes within the Peaceful Asante Kingdom bcos of the Blessings God has given them of rich minerals,timber and a lot more.We the non-Asantes should rather appreciate the kind nature of the Asantes and rather stop behaving like jealous.The Asantes gave lands to some of we the non Asante fathers to farm and enjoy our lives,look for our mothers ,pay school fees and more.I think we better cooperate with them to make Ghana a better place.Join them if u cannot beat them!and stop jealous or pack n go to your region.

I am curious that the Nana who released this statement never mentioned that neither he nor any other person spoke to the Asantehene or any member of his entourage. Conversely, no member of the entourage also called Ghana, given that some of them may have heard or seen the news already online or from elsewhere. Okay, but why wouldn't folks give some respect to the family and wait until they (the family) comes out with some confirmation. Why the rush? This is crass insensitivity. We may be pushed to the limit by the corrupt NDC, but this insensitivity is un-Ghanaian. The last thing we'd want to lose is our culture.

As a country we should do well to treat all malicious rumours with contempt. Giving attention to them is a waste of precious time.
If there is a wild rumour that a high profile personality is dead and those who are concerned do not react, no harm will be caused. All sensible people know that, there is no reason for which the death of someone (even the death of an ordinary person) would be hidden without any rightful information disclosed on it for some stranger to steal the information to tell others.
Generating unfounded rumours about the death of high profile personalities has become a business in Ghana because of the undue attention given to it. Let us learn to treat such rumours with contempt.

I PITY THE ONE WHO STARTED THE RUMOUR. HE HAS EARNED FOR HIMSELF KARMIC DEBT WHICH WILL TAKE HIM/HER THOUSANDS OF INCARNATIONS TO REDEEM. THERE IS NO POSITION ON EARTH, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SANCTIONED BY HEAVEN. EVEN THOSE WHO TAKE THEIR POSITIONS BY FORCE, HOW MUCH MORE THOSE WHO ACQUIRE THEIR POSITIONS THROUGH LEGITIMATE AND APPROVED MEANS. I SUGGEST THAT THE NDC SHOULD ORGANIZE A BIG WELCOME FOR THE ASANTEHENE ON HIS RETURN SINCE THE INITIATOR OF THE RUMOUR WAS A DISGRUNTLED NPP SUPPORTER, WHO ACCUSED HIM OF FACILITATING THE DEFEAT OF NPP AT THE SUPREME COURT. THE NPP SUPPORTERS ARE SO DAFT THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THEY LOST THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. ONCE AGAIN LET ME REPEAT THAT "THE DYNASTY OF JOHNS" WILL END WITH A FIFTH JOHN. THIS IS WHAT THE ANCIENT SCROLL SAYS. NOBODY CAN CHANGE THAT. THE MERE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PRIVILEGED TO SEE IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST. THE FIVE JOHNS REPRESENT THE FIVE BLEEDING SIDES OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE FIVE BOOKS OF JOHN, THE APOSTLE JESUS LOVED SO MUCH. REFER TO JOHN 21: 20 - 24. MEDITATE ON IT AND YOU MAY BE LUCKY THE GOOD LORD MIGHT CONFIRM WHAT YOU HAVE JUST READ TO YOU. GOOD LUCK.

Why should Ghanaians be alarmed on hearing the news of the death of Asantehene? Rather they will be happy if the story is true because this bad and corrupt chief has dragged the good name of Asante and Ghana in the gutters. Afterall, what did he go to South Africa for? Not for medical reasons? So if by chance the Good Lord has taken him to the cemetery shouldn't Ghanaians be happy but alarmed? No way. There had never be a time in the history of Ghana or Asante that a corrupt chief had ever occupied the Golden Stool.
