    Absolutely clueless commentators. Ghana is a colonial creation. Before Ghana, Africa had Kingdoms. The Ashanti, Oyo, Dahomey, Zulu had empires. Such cluelessness is the cause of our dithering.

    Ghana will soon be a country of Kings. Asante King, Akyem King, Asogli King, Anlo King, Dagomba King etc.

    Ghana is not a kingdom and has no king. The Ashantis are entitled to call their chief a king if they wish but he can never be a "Ghanaian King" and whoever wrote that headline needs to be re-educated.
