Nana, in ghana politics the winner takes all. Therefore, your argument does not sound right. When you have bad ministers making wrong economic policies then in my view those "suckers" should take the blame. NDC sucks very very bad. Obama took over with the worst economic situation in US. I lost my job working for a bank and now the jobs are coming back. Nana, use your influence to advise your friends in government because the news I am hearing from Ghana is terrible.

With due respect to Nana Osei Tutu 11 the Asantehene and I am the number one supporter of my Asante monarch, I disagree about "depoliticizing" the dollar issue.

Some Ndc people have come out suggesting we should also depoliticize the oil issue and others.

What else can Npp campaign on if we depoliticize the economic mess Ndc has wrecked on Ghana? If Npp is to abide by this advice, it will be like sending Mitch Green into the boxing ring with his right hand tied behind his back against Mike Tyson.

Sorry Nana, Ndc has destroyed the cedi through over borrowing and printing the cedi 24/7 like General Motors assembly line we should let Ghanaians know.

The same Ndc people have been going around the villages telling our illiterate folks that they have made the village stronger because if somebody sends you $100 from abroad, you get GHc400 instead of the GHc120 they used to get when Npp was in power. They cannot be allowed to get away with their mischievous tricks.

He is part of Ghana's problem. Was he not the one who influence JSC Baffle Bonnie to change the will of the people? Why is it that it only his time as the occupant of the "fake Golden Stool" that all sort of criminal allegations has leveled against his majesty? He is been accessed of turning his palace into a hub for drug dealers, influence judges to subvert the code of ethics of the judiciary, criminally hounding and extorting monies from home owners in his kingdom, clandestinely meddling in politics as against the laws on the land and unconscionably associating himself with the criminal cabal, the NDC. The truth must be told, Kwaku has brought disgrace upon himself and the entire Kookoase kingdom.

You monkey we don't produce anything in Ghana just import everything. When the Busia danquah overthrew Kwame Nkrumah and closed down most of the 400 factories nkrumah built it was the begging of the end for Ghana. These npp maggots are to blame. Have you forgotten in 2008 my the rate was 96 pesewas to the dollars by January 2009 6 moths later the cedi was 1.33 to the dollar a decline of 40% even though the kwasea k4 government spent $1.5 billion propping up the cedi. Ghana must start to produce instead of importing everything and helping employ people in other countries we should have our one factories and employ Ghanaians.

With the NPP in opposition do you expect the nation to progress? Behind the scenes the NPP is doing everything possible to bring the economy to its knees.They are calling on the army to remove the government,they are telling foreign governments and financial institutions not to give financial assistance to the government.They are doing everything including politicising the cedi to get power.This is democracy at work in africa where the opposition is there to undermine the progress of the nation with the sole aim of getting power.Even the dollar and the pound sterling do at times wobble.

Worry not the useless Asantes have made up their minds to secede from your fr3fr3k)b) country called Ghana. Like i have been saying it on this platform that Asantes never display their humanity to anyone unlike your people who were endorsed by the Asantes before they became humans and now they are enjoying everything humans. Asanteman secession is on the way my people get on board at this time there is no J.B.Dankwa to convince our king anymore. Only a foolish dog barks at the flying bird.

Fellow me if you can but put all the burdens behind.

Otumfuo, Nana Asantehene, you seem to have forgotten the Bompata chieftaincy dispute case. As a result of this inaction on the part of your Asanteman Council, the town has been left without a queen mother for several years now, while the current chief who resides in Accra hardly visits the town.
No wonder there is no development whatsoever going on in this town. Without vision, the people really perish, especially the youth of this town. Is this what the Asanteman Council wishes for the same people they are supposed to serve?
It is amazing how we fail to correct injustice in our society as leaders even if our failure to do so is detrimental to the very society we are expected to serve; yet we cry out loud for justice when the matter at hand adversely concerns us.
It is equally amazing to observe that cases brought before the Asanteman Council can drag for over 40 years without any attempt to call for settlement. Such gross inefficiencies definitely call for urgent need to reform the way the Asanteman Council operates.
In the name of all the Asantehenes Otumfuo Nana: Twum; Antwi, Kobia Amamfi, Oti Akenten, Obiri Yeboa, Osei Tutu Opemsoo, Opaku ware Katakyie, Kusi Obuadum, Osei Kwadwo Okoawia, Osei Kwame Panyin. Opoku Fofie, Osei tut Kwame Asiba, Osei Yaw Akoto, Kwaku Dua I, Kofi Karikari, Mensa Bonsu, Kwaku Dua II, Prempeh I, Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, Opoku Ware II; who have ruled the Asante kingdom before your turn, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, please help!

“We could not have forgotten so soon, the period in our history when a devaluation of the Cedi was an instant signal for a military take-over of government. Thankfully, we have buried the past, and over the past decade or thereabouts, we have had the happy experience of a stable Cedi underpinning the remarkable growth of our economy. Sadly, the wheels have turned once again, with the economy in decline and the Cedi wobbling”, the Monarch bemoaned.

Please be it known that it is the bad political decisions taken by bad and incompetent political leaders which have led to the Cedi to be where it now is. Nana, talk some sense to your friends in the NDC to be honest and take running of the country seriously for the Cedi to bounce back to where it was some years back.
