Because of such primitive interferences , this part of Ghana, Asante region, has always had 'backwardness deficiency syndrome' a strange and peculiar disease found in these people.

Don't we have the court system instead of these primitive traditional chiefs wanting to interfere in matters of national interest?

What is more primitive than your TROKOSI system, if you need to be reminded! A stinking fetish priest 'forcibly' takes away young girls as young as eleven years, defile them for several years under the primitive concept of TROKOSI and then abandon them when they are no longer useful as sex objects! Don't bring yourself, KOLA.

The curse ll start from his home and that of his whole family if it stays like that because all the past presidents he mentioned also face opposition before winning their second term bid.He must be told that,the constitution of Ghana allows that and no one is breaking any laws of the country,if he wasn't the right person to stand in for the sick linguist then why was he allowed to speak?beside how much money was he paid to make such remarks?.this is absolutely disgusting and he has to be punished for this insult on suffering Ghanaians who ve worked year for no pay because of the corrupt NDC administrations mismanagement.

Can someone define curse for Nana Tepa Manhene??? Who ever said you cannot invoke win as curse on someone? Any form of calamity one invokes on another is a curse. Do not let us forget that the linquist was praying by way of libation and was appealing to gods and spirits. The linquist actually believed his prayers would work otherwise what was the libation and the prayers for??? "Let's call a spade a spade and punish him and stop beating about the bush". He should have simply go ahead to bless President Mahama in his prayers and ask his gods to help to win; there wouldn't be anything wrong with that BUT to invoke calamity on Mahama's contenders was very much uncalled for and he must be punished for that. Mahama himself must come out to condemn this linquist.
