Kumasi is the world centre of grave looting.

I advise the royal family to lay ambush and any grave looter arrested should be beheaded and his head buried with the departed queenmother. She definitely needs company.

Dear Fellow Ghanaians,
When are we going to grow up - whether educated or not? When are we going to do away with some of these primitive and outmoded customs and traditions? Are we not creating the said "enabling or conducive environment" for grace looters? Why should be announced in advance, even if it will be done at all?

Well, we may change governments, etc., BUT if we FAIL TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE AND MENTALITY, we will continue to wallow in darkness and will not see any development and progress. Such attitudes are just sickening, in the face of poverty and under-development. God help us all see the light of day!

DONALD TRUMP'S FULL SPEECH ON WHY HE HATES AFRICANS & ARABS.

We are not obliged, even for a second, to try to prove to anybody and especially to blacks and Arabs that we are superior people - we have demonstrated that to the black and Arabs in 1001 ways.
The America we know today was not created by wishful thinking. We created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat and blood.....we do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks. We must admit, without any fear, that we don't like them, and for so so may many valid reasons.

The fact that blacks and Arabs look like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. If God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently. Whites, blacks, yellow, the rulers and the ruled. Intellectually we are superior to the blacks and Arabs. That has been proven beyond the reasonable doubt over the years.

I believe that a white man is an honest God fearing person who has demonstrated practically the right way of being a human. By now every one of us has seen it practically that blacks and Arabs cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives, alcoholism, witchcraft, indulging in sex, pretending in church, jealousy, fighting and complaining of nonsense.

Their only main concern (which according to me is stupidity of the highest magnitude) is same - sex marriages. They keep pointing fingers to us, we the west, that we have legalised it in our countries, and that we always outspokenly support gay people around the world. And because they always foolishly want to demostrate their ignorance, hatred and fear about the subject, some of them have even enacted harsh laws to codemn their own gay citizens.This shows that beyond illusions and doubt, what people do with their own bodies is Africans main concern. I hear they even strip their women publicly.

Let us all accept the fact that the black man is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. To make the matter worse, he can do everything possible to defend his stupidity. Give them money for development and they will fight and create hatred and enmity for themselves. Drill oil wells for them and they will not have peace all the days of their life. See, for instance, what's happening in Nigeria, Southern Sudan, Malawi, DRC just to mention a few. This proves to anybody including a stupid fool that Africans do not know what they want. Isn't that plausible? Therefore that the white man is created to rule the black man, Africans will always have day dreams. And here is the creature (black man) that lacks foresight but only sees what is near him and still fails to know what to do. A black man is stupid to the extent that he cannot plan for his life beyond a year. Therefore how can they develop and live longer.

Corruption in west (And China) is a big abomination but in africa, it's so huge that it is slowly becoming an acceptable way of life. They sing and rejoice to their corrupt political leaders. They worship their scandal-ridden religious leaders like their gods. Lest you forget, these so called Africans are praising, dancing and praying for the people that have impoverished them, and who comes to hide their loot here. Then which fool argues that the black man is not born a beggar, grows a beggar, looks a beggar, falls sick as a beggar and dies a beggar. This has been proven beyond reasoning. I wonder why even up to now Africans still go to school by force and those who are at school are are just drug addicts who don't know what took them there. This is a pregnant stupidity in Africa that needs Jesus's immediate second coming. The body of Africans is a very fertile ground for all diseases in the world because

Dr Donkor n followers: I hope you are going to use fake gold ornaments aka "paint ma me nt?" for the burial otherwise you are deceiving yourselves born just day dreaming. Also her so-called journey started and or ended the day she passed away. 'It's appointed into man to live but once and after that judgement' so the life she led, ie her relationship with her Maker, God, on earth (whether a born again christian or otherwise) has already placed her either in heaven or hell (ogyakrom, unquenchable fire). You can chose to bury her with a house, sponge, trunk etc or te word of God ie Bible but it won't change anything as far as her eternal destination is concerned. It's forever sealed. Farewell Queenmother, farewell. RIP, we hope.
