Why do u envy our great King? or u wanted mahama to choose ur village and unknown Chief. Let me remind u his area of jurisdiction is not limited to Ashanti region only. Asantehene is de overlord of Asanetman which comprises of Ashanti; part of Brong Ahafo region with whole Ahafo under him and some other towns in Brong and part of Volta region, worawora to be precise. I hope u hv learn n with dis u can clear urself dat we hv no chief in Ghana to match him. And dis make him more powerful, influential and unique among other chiefs

The point still remains: Ghana still owes the money and it will not be written off. Mahama is like a man who has the bailiffs after him. Nigeria has lots of high profile chiefs. I don't see them bringing them round. It is an embarrassment and I do not believe the Nigerians are impressed in the least. This is business and they will also be aware that Mahama has borrowed millions and has not used it for any tangible purpose. The best thing at his moment is for Otumfuo to advise him to use the money which he borrowed to pay for the gas for that purpose exactly.

When doing these kinds of negotiations, you go in with people who have figures and data showing how you intend to ameliorate the quantum. Anything else and the Nigerians won't see the relevance or the clout as you say. The will see a scam when they see one and the best thing is not to embroil the Paramount in this embarassing situation.

In the constitution chiefs are not permitted to do politics but it seems Asantehene is posing his nose in Ghana politics. This shows that he's purely ndc member in disguise.

Oh why do you pretend not to know de influential qualities of Asantehene.His position as de Asantehene will play a key role as far as de mediation is concerned. besides he has said dat he doesnt belong any political party but he is for de gov't hence his decision to mediate as one of de revered Kings in de world. and He is doin his side as an influential figure to help our nation sail thru as he did in Kuffour's time by persuading his friend who was at de time de president of world bank to grant a certain loan for projects in Ghana to Kuffour quickly. Besides he has been featured on recognized platforms across de world to give his intentions to address critical issues. Long Otumfour! Long life Asanteman! Long Life Ghana!

This was the same way he used to bribe the Supreme Court judges to declare John the deadgoat Mahama winner in the election petition. Otumfuo respect the Golden stool (Sika Dwa) and stop involving yourself in dirty politics, if you want to be a politician just leave the Golden Stool and stand for MP at Asawase, for somebody who will bring dignity and respect to the stool. You have put yourself too much into politics to the detriment of Ashantis, the fear and confidence most Ghanaians had on the stool is gone because of you. The most damning of it is you have no shame.

If Ghana is not disputing the gas debt to Nigeria, then what is there to mediate? Ghana should rid itself of the culture of not paying for goods and services she acquires in and outside Ghana. The country's credit rating is considerablely deteriorating because of a related culture of not living within our means which is mainly caused by massive corruption in the country. Since we cannot legally include amounts lost to corruption in our budget ( or should there be an innovative ways and means to include it?), this evil culture drains hugely on our national budget year after year. As a result, the country is unable to: pay salaries to some employees, pay contractors, pay suppliers, pay our debts, etc,etc. So, where the Asantehene can be most beneficial to Ghana is to instill in our leaders the CULTURE OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR FINANCIAL DEALING AND PAYING OUR BILLS ON TIME. Of course this can only be possible if we can put an end to the CULTURE OF CORRUPTION in Ghana. Since Kumasi is the centre of culture in Ghana, the efforts of the Asantehene would be well placed if he advises on 'good' culture.

The government should not involve any local chief, particularly, the asantehene in any negotiations with a foreign country. The asantehene's involvement gives the appearance of the government favoring him over the rest of the chiefs.This is matter that is the domain of a court of arbitration and not some two bit local chief.
